I'm all for personal responsibility but you have to recognize that everyone shares in that. You can't dangle prostitutes and drugs and fast food restaurants, and video games and peer pressure in front of a 16 year old kid who comes from a broken home and then be surprised when he falls into bad hab...

What voters want to know are the answers to two questions: Does this person, and does this party, share my values? And do they understand and care about people like me? Those turn out to be pretty rational questions. No one can predict a black swan or coronavirus pandemic, but you’re likely to feel...

I've made a few references to the book I started reading yesterday - The Political Brain. The article below (written by the book's author) gives one an excellent idea of what that excellent book has to say. Vinny How to Win an Election The high-stakes science of campaign messaging reveals that succe...

I would be the first to agree that Trump is a very poor communicator. But realistically, what could Trump or any president do that would avoid "politicization" of the virus? We can all agree that Covid is a danger to mostly the elderly. For anyone younger than say 60, the risk compared to...

Silly article.

Hal, in many US states, the citizens and local authorities would have no part of regs like Victoria's. There would be widespread civil disobedience. Other, liberal states would probably go along but I think there would still be a lot of civil disobedience. To illustrate, there have been many locali...

1) I totally agree that other factors, at least later in the lockdown cycles, could be adding deaths from stress, etc. But if you also don't believe in even that first hump (peaking in April) of excess deaths being attributable mainly to Covid or with Covid, we obviously will never agree. I agree t...

In addition, one should remember that it is largely the right wing that is advancing anti science / anti vaccine arguments to the point of accusing Bill Gates of using them to implant microchips. It's a great science fiction plot line, but we are seeing the resurgence of smallpox, measles etc becau...

The only thing that has changed for me since that is that in addition to my C-Span habit then and now is that I now listen to each of the five Sunday news shows (usually twice). Vinny I have to ask. What do you do with the information? How does it change your life? It's a combination of entertainme...

At minimum, he caused 14 day quarantines for the two agents. What a douche. At my age and health, which is likely similar to that of the median secret service agent, my covid death rate is close to 0.001% I either already got covid and beat it without any symptoms, or I will get covid and beat it w...

The dude is a marketing genius. He sent a hundred pizzas out to the crowd supporting him outside Walter Reed. You may not be that far off. I'll take it a step further and say it may be more than marketing genius, possibly outright wizardry. Think about it. In last week's debate he was able to make ...
