We want to believe that the world is understandable and controllable and unthreatening, that if we follow the rules, we’ll be okay.

I very much believe in the Intentional Fallacy. If Donald Trump lies and dopes and bumbles and staggers his way into peace in the middle east, he gets credit for it. He owns it.

The odd thing is that Trump’s hand movements don’t seem to coordinate with the topic at hand. Most pols manage to make their hand movements correspond with the message, so a slash will accompany emphasis, etc.

My neighborhood is fairly white, yet the local middle school is all black. It is bad. It is very bad.

I think Marco Rubio could never have recovered from revealing himself to be pathetic.

You know, I am not a particular Kennedy apologist or an awed fan – I was 12 when he was murdered – but I have discussed Kennedy with historians. For his incredibly short tenure, he was a very important president.
