Rachel Maddow Claims She Has Trump's Tax Returns

You know, I don't really feel like linking this just like you don't feel like reading it. But whatever, Rachel Maddow claims she has Trump's tax returns and suggests -- without actually saying so -- she's going to take you on a guided tour of them tonight.

I really doubt that last part. These things would take a long time to analyze and every bit of analysis would have to be run by legal. (You'd think that just having someone else's confidential tax records would also have to be run by legal, but I guess NBC's lawyers are okay with that.)

But whatever, just in case there's Big News, I guess it's my job or something to tell you.

I'm not going to watch, just because... well, TV is an information-light medium. TV may be easier to watch than a book is to read, but that's because books (and any written medium) is more information-dense. I just have this feeling we're going to get broad impressions backed up by thin disclosures of actual evidence.

The real info won't come out until the taxes are available to a lot of people, and actual experts can comb through them, and offer reports, in written form.

Also, I don't want to give this Smirking Animatronic Cashew ratings.

And also: I've got a case of Scandal Fatigue, but not in the way our media overlords would wish me to have. I'm just plain tired of their hysterias.
