Political sound and fury, and even where politics gets a little crazy, is the subject of a lecture at 7 p.m. Friday at the Moses Lake Museum & Art Center, 401 S. Balsam St.

Washington State University professor Cornell Clayton will talk about “Crazy Politics: Populism, Conspiracy Theories and Paranoia in America.” Admission is free.

The lecture is sponsored by the museum and Humanities Washington.

Clayton said populism and political paranoia are two separate strands of thought, but “they are related in some ways.” Both have deep historical roots in U.S. politics.
