Without
reading: Book review of Hillary
Clinton’s What Happened, “It was everyone's fault, I am a victim.” Specifically, Bernie, Donald, and every
sexist man and anti-feminist woman who didn’t vote for me. (from multiple
sources)
A match
made in heaven: Hillary Clinton’s pastor
writes a book, CNN discovers he plagiarized from others, and his publisher
stops publication and recalls it. Seems
only appropriate.
Alice
through the looking glass: Obama
by-passes the Congress and issues a decree allowing illegal immigrant children
to remain in the United States, while Congress does nothing. Trump rescinds the decree, gives Congress
6-months to do something before he will start deportation hearings, and the
political opposition is outraged. Seems
about right.
Two Major
Hurricanes hit U.S. in one month… It’s Trump’s fault for questioning climate
change causation data (credit Gino) (I don’t want to be accused of plagiarism)
I am a
pawn in the game of life (Mongo in Blazing Saddles): Science, when it becomes political, looks a
lot like a badminton shuttlecock. He
says this, she said that, data proves this, data proves that, we have peer
reviewed studies, peer reviewed studies don’t mean diddly, we have famous
people who agree, we have famous people who don’t. As I
watch this tournament play out, I am reminded of the line from All the
Presidents Men, (1976) – “Follow the money!” The people who speak loudest, and most often,
have something to gain from their position.
Know what that is and you will know why they are speaking. Altruism is an illusion.
We have
nothing to fear, but fear itself (paraphrase FDR 1st Inaugural Address): TV seems to center on the fear and anger
invoking story lines. Reasonable
reporting and analysis shall not be tolerated at the national level.
