    American Election 2024

    FWIW 2016 was so close that Trump never would have won the Electoral College were it not for the Senate Majority Leader's strategy of refusing to act on Obama's Supreme Court pick. Maybe "there oughta be a law". (>0.00001% of voters chose Trump only cuz they wanted a Federalist Society justice)...

    American Election 2024

    Vance makes it a problem framing the election as Trump the good strongman versus some weak caricature opponent, cuz Vance brings so many weak caricatures to the forefront: hillbillies that still haven't gotten over Obama, and misogynists that make even Archie Bunker seem too far left. It...

    Near the end of his term, the President endorses his VP. Looks like we're on the right track. Sure beats "Near the end of his term, the President endorsed hanging his VP"...

    The only significance to a GOP VP pick would be... [crickets] I'm a put at the top of the list, that it'll slightly aid GOTV (get out the vote) in Ohio, which is a positive for whoever's running against Senator Sherrod Brown. Whimsically, wassup with vaNCE and peNCE alikeness, and their...

    American Election 2024

    If Biden were to abandon his run for reelection, everybody's asking who would replace him on the ticket? Conversely, nobody's written about the process if VP Harris were the answer above: That she shouldn't so much be just the nominee. Wouldn't the obvious strategy be Biden resigns, Harris...

    American Election 2024

    FWIW there's a serious problem with the voters. And I might be part of the problem, I wonder. I'm a politics junkie... law junkie... fascinated by strategy. We're promised the answer with the passage of time [R or D]... [guilty or not guilty]... Stop reading if you tend to avoid nuance. How...

    Open Letter to Kristi Noem's Neighbor

    Foreign and/or detached political commentary is often the most astute. Here in America, two of the dangers when stupidity reaches a critical mass are somewhat philosophical... I can't go thinking I'm surrounded by morons without turning into a misanthrope. So it's prolly better to acknowledge...

    Re that chicken coop you used to need, there's a bunch of books that the stores don't want any more. I think it's because they need more room for children's picturebooks, like "Cat in the Hat", "My Pet Goat", and "Where's Cricket?" Can the chicken coop be repurposed as an unsold book warehouse?

    FTO Telemarkers?

    I telemark at Baldy and Mammoth most of my daze, tho I'm way better on a snowboard. I remember before I ever slid on snow, watching Franz Klammer and immediately knowing a wanted to be an alpine skier. Telemark on the other hand could never be done justice on video, you just gotta learn it then...
