The verb “Garland” should be created. It would mean to unfairly put a stinking albatross around someone’s neck, to make him unemployable.

I once found myself driving, smoking a cigar, taking notes, and talking on the phone at the same time. I only became completely aware of this when I had to shift, and realized something had to give.

One of my favorite footnotes in the hypochondria book [The Hypochondriac’s Guide to Life. And Death.] was about the death of one of the King Charleses. He was essentially bled and vomited to death by his doctors. They also drilled holes in his head.

The intelligent Trump supporter will be someone who is so cynical about politics that he wants the world blown up, and doesn’t care if the person doing the blowing up is an obnoxious, infantile vulgarian. I don’t know where to find these people. Do you?

Many put him in the second tier, below the big three and surrounded by Truman and Eisenhower. Kennedy moved our soul. Changed our thinking about service and governance. And won big in the greatest nuclear crisis of the Cold War.

Reporters are not merely recording devices that take down what people say and repeat it in print; we are expected to use our knowledge and experience both for triage – deciding what’s important to cover and what isn’t – and for contextualizing, analyzing and such.

I think Trump wants to be dictator. I don’t think the courts will allow him to be, and I think that after months of revolting sycophancy, neither will Congress. He will sink to such a popularity trough that even those spineless, craven gophers will cave.
