Your life will come together, maybe just not today.

I know it's the internet and all, but if you're a Democrat who doesn't happen to be a United States senator, your response is not at issue here.

What naansense.

Okay, I read it. The big difference is that Nixon had a powerful opposition party in control of Congress. Good things were possible, bad things constrained.

I'll read Matt Lewis's article. Going in, I think Nixon was bad, and Trump is far worse.

Video games and online gambling.

Definitely pronounce to suit the pun, even if you pronounce it differently in other contexts. Like code switching.

I guess these PACs know how to rig a poll. I'd at least want the pollster to publish the results on their own web sites, with complete details. Who knows how they're wording the questions or judging who's a likely voter, if not outright fabricating results?

Show up at 9:40. Tell them you assumed they meant 7:40 Extra Morning Time, which is the time zone you belong to, as their records should indicate.

Standard Time.

Of course, such common sense, applied in the other direction, would also solve the opposite supposed problem of having Standard Time all year.

You shouldn't have called it a fact. You activated fact-checking behavior.

Looks scary to me.

This all seems consistent with the idea that people start out less trustful, and they gain trust as they go through their teens and twenties, and then they level out. No?

Half-ish.

Establishments can do the right thing, even when noisy people ask them to do the wrong thing.

I wonder now if this teacher had any Bircher sympathies, or was on friendly enough terms that he chose to do them the favor of letting them in our classroom. Did their ultra-right ideas take root with any of my classmates? Or, were we actually being inoculated and protected against such extremism?

At my high school, in the 1970s, the social studies teacher regularly brought in guests from fringey political movements. Some were there to spread the ideas favored by the John Birch Society. The Birchers were received politely, but were ridiculous, and our teacher never seemed to take their side.

Is it too late for Maine Republicans to drop Susan Collins from the ballot and replace her with Graham Platner? He seems like the kind of guy they cotton to.

Something I watched today, with a good-news focus.
