Liberals have demanded Bannon's ouster since the day Trump announced his White House leadership team, not because Bannon embodied Trump's threat to the Normal Way of Doing Things, but because he's an unusually gross figure in modern politics: a vindictive bigot with dispensationalist tendencies and towering self-regard.

" Schiele, in his extreme self-pitying self-regard — this is an exhibition, after all, with separate categories for "The Self" and "The Ego" (the former, according to their respective wall labels, referring to the "body language" of the self-portraits, while the latter focuses on the "fiction of identity") — approaches spirituality as a hybrid of narcissism and carnality, with a haloed "Self-Portrait as a Saint.

But for an MMA fan who grew up in this sport with Jose Aldo always there as the greatest of the great, as the most terrifying of the terrifying, spiritual heir to Pride-era "Shogun" Rua and next in line to the artistic throne of Anderson Silva; and who himself isn't entirely comfortable with the trash-talking, bottle-throwing, designer-suit-wearing new world order McGregor embodies, it would be deflating to see him go—just further confirmation that the Era of Self-Regard in MMA is ascendant.
