    Food for thought? Why asking charities what they are doing with your money is the wrong question (hint: ask about THEIR impact, not YOURS). My op-ed.

    obvious advice/rant: if you're gonna cite the editor, make damn sure (as compared to merely being sure) the cite says what you say it says! worse to cite inaccurately than not at all. lowers confidence in the rest of the paper & cites.

    Trump’s path to 270 requires losing 45 pounds. Not going to happen.

    I’m so happy that we have states with Biden barely up (hi AZ & NV!) and others with Trump barely up (hi PA & GA), so that ’s utter hypocrisy is on full display. Note how Biden is NOT arguing to stop the count where he is up.

    For those wanting to see a concession speech, this one by John McCain — congratulating Obama in 2008 — is worth watching again. See how he faces down the boos from his own supporters. Very few greater moments of humility.

    I am so sick of telling us that one has to pass 100 to get to 270. Seriously? I’d prefer you fill the void with a fart please.
