A Modest Proposal: have the Natl Guard go to ERs and turn away people who should not receive care, since the hospitals can't.

The sports betting people should get some action going on His Majesty's speeches. What's the over/under on how long he talks? How many times does he blame Biden?

Don't let the doorknob... oklahomavoice.com/2025/09/24/w...

For those of you who missed the #UNSpeech, I will save you an hour of your life you'd never get back. 1. It's all Biden's fault. 2. America is the greatest country; you all suck. 3. I should get a Nobel Peace Prize; that's not braggadocio. 4. Global warming is a con. Sorry, out of characters.

While we're on the subject, stop carrying on about defending democracy. Trump won the 2024 election, with 77.3 million votes. That's democracy. The US is meant to be a constitutional republic. www.axios.com/2025/08/22/d...

Electing a king wannabe as President is not an example of American exceptionalism. We're still not clear on what that exceptionalism is, but it is definitely not that.

Most American towns don't want manufacturers. They think it's greasy and dirty. They have zoning for light industrial, like warehouses, but that's as far as they will go.

Media wants to cover war as if it were a football game. In football, you can see everything that happens on the field. In war, you can't. Beware the fog of war.

We need a new subject: Applied History. An example: in WWII, only Italy was able to throw off their government when the war got dire. What was different for Italy?

Now have we finally heard the last about annexing Canada?

Years ago, I took a class on strategic partnerships. My biggest takeaway is that both partners usually get what they want out of these partnerships. In that light, consider Israel and the US. cont'd

Those of us who have received information have received information, and that is the information we have received. Humphrey Appleby would approve.

I reckon it's time to reread this book. www.harpercollins.com/products/ord...

Law and order: law is objective. You look it up and apply it. What is order, exactly? Who defines it? The men who killed Ahmaud Arbery, for example, had definite ideas about order.

There are three sides to a divorce: her side, his side and what really happened.

Republicans are the party that can get things done, but I don't want those things done.

Hypothesis: Many American adults are miserable in their lives, and misery loves company. Example: Govt workers can lose their jobs, just like happens to us. Any research on this?
