For the last 10 years, I’ve lived in the most urban county of the reddest part of a very red state. (And I’d move tomorrow if I had a job offer somewhere better.)

APRIL SEVENTH, 1928

Clinton will not only do nothing, but work hard to continue and expand what’s already been done.

It has everything to do with this, and it’s not a non-sequitur.

The capital gains tax rate needs to match income tax rates. It’s essentially now pegged at 15%, and Warren Buffet is correct that it’s ridiculous.

Yep. If you’re hungry enough, you’ll eat things you never otherwise would.

That’s where health care differs. The demands of an aging population (especially in some parts of the country) somewhat counterbalances the effects of a labor market designed for optimal unemployment.

Kid: “Aw, Mom. This pancake is burnt. And the butter is rancid margarine. And the syrup is thinned with water.”

Bagna calda. There are a thousand ways to make it, but the basic ingredients are oil (anything, really — canola is fine, but depending on the regional variation, authenticity demands either olive or walnut), garlic, and anchovies. Eat by dipping in bread and an assortment of raw vegetables (lettuce, celery, cabbage,…

Yes, Donald’s is illegal under international law, but only if the US subjects itself to international law. You can admit I’ve made that point abundantly clear, no?
