by Vanderleun on August 26, 2020

Nice to see an election team rich in people who know how to play this game. It’s never wrong to push the myths if you wish to build Jerusalem.

Scott Adams has mentioned that whoever is producing the RNC is really really good. He called out Melania’s speech. She’s not a great speaker, but did okay. But what worked was her long walk to the podium. See, she knows how to walk in a way that makes people look at her. Most people cannot do that without extensive training. So featuring that was a brilliant move.

You got it, Gordon! Melania Trump has more than a walk, she has PRESENCE. I’ve only met one or two people like that in my long life, one was an Army ENT physician who absolutely riveted everyone’s attention just by entering the room. Which is exactly what Melania does; no man can look away, or would want to. And every woman would kill for those looks. My re-election motto: Make America Glamorous Again!

I Return to the Place I was Born

From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.

— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
