Keyser’s written about the scene of the death of Surrey in The Tudors before. That was when I first saw it late last summer. I noted back then rather briefly how affecting I found the scene, and I’ve thought a bit more about it in the interim. I thought I’d share these ruminations with you [...]

Keyser’s loyal readers have probably already seen this clip that purports to show a Georgian reporter named Tamara Urushadze getting shot at and grazed while reporting live: It’s sort of interesting to read through the YouTube comments. Half the commenters (often Russian stooges) think that this is a fake. They quibble that if it was [...]
