You need to wake up right now, not take a soporific, so we’ll confine our remarks on last night’s talk shows to this: At least two talking heads discussed affordable housing projects for the 9,235th and 9,236th times this year. Another noted that the Mahalla workers have stopped their strike — and reassured us all the union will keep its watchful eye on the government. Two more weeks and we’re out of the wasteland known as “talk shows in late summer.”
