Great analysis. I also like the Anatomy of a Murder reference. :-)

"Unconquerable compulsion"? I wasn't even thinking of that. Actually, I just looked it up, and in the film it was "irresistible impulse." Heck, I'm just gonna go edit the piece to put that in.

BTW, I didn't particularly care for that film--but I have the Duke Ellington soundtrack, which is terrific.

an improper epistemology is always at the root of every problem, but especially so recently. It is nice to read a little optimism about our wannabe dictator's eventual comeuppance. I hope there continues to be more and more reasons for it.
