Veep

 Of course I was enchanted with Elizabeth Warren and hoped someone who didn't need it would be elected. We need that kind of ruler, not a galloping egomaniac narcissist rapist who tells us to not believe our lying eyes.

My only question is what veep would help the cause. A female is good because nobody would kill Biden, those kind of wackos don't want a woman president. So in a way she would be good assassination insurance. And she would be the best VP in history. She would get so much done. She's a pragmatist who can see the pain in bankruptcy. and if she were not a woman would be a great Republican, except she turned on them and didn't betray her class.

But can we depend on a VP that doesn't bring any voters. We need a veep that brings in some votes. Maybe cancels out Kanye West? People on both sides have problems with Kamala Harris. You sort of heard a black woman muttering whenever Donald Trump spoke and she could be that voice, but there's nobody perfect for that role. Actually there are 100s of people perfect for that voice, but we don't know who they are. We don't have binders of women. Remember how stupid Mitt Romney looked? He looks a lot better and less hypocritical and more virtuous than our current president. He's publically broken with Trump to prove he is his own man with his own thoughts. He's not a stooge like McConnell who they had to invent a new circle in hell for. 

After those two names, I'm lost, I'm not an insider. I'm an outsider speculating like most of us.

Manet and Degas

  Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special.  In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them. NY Times review

movie versus book

I'm watching the movie a second time, and I'm halfway through the book. Among the movie's differences from the book. Sortilege starts off narrating. The movie doesn't have the school bell for the phone either, just a regular ring. It's really weird the way Doc shouts when he sees the photo of Amethyst as a baby. I guess it's to dramatize the negative impact of being pregnant and using, but the child we see looks pretty healthy. The child doesn't huff out because they're boring like she did in the book.  Superficially The Big Lebowski and Inherent Vice are similar but it's a completely different style of narrative. The Coen brothers are amazing, they have a very witty movie that I have loved for a long time. Pynchon is a whole other realm of fiction, and this conversion is fairly faithful, taking out the best lines and making it more compact. The audio book is 15 hours, the movie is 2 hours. Anyway, I like the different movies for different reasons. T...

The case for Harris

Motley Kamuka Blog endorses Kamala Harris. In general, Trump just wants to lower taxes on the rich, and do nothing, sell whatever influence he can to line his pockets. Apparently the emoluments clause in the constitution has no teeth. Harris has a set of ideas about policy that are fairly middle of the road. In most countries she's would be seen as a centrist. Spin about her radical agendas are exaggerated.  I'm not sure how he got past " grab them by the pussy ", but he did and here we are. Women: Obviously the idea of giving women pregnancy tests at the borders of the state, and then if they come back and don't have a baby, they go to jail, isn't really what most women want. Pick Harris.  I understand if you think abortion is murder, maybe you've been told that by the Catholic church, which has the same ideal of Buddhism that you don't kill--so follow your religion for yourself. Not everyone is Christian or Buddhist or even has a religion. Women are ...
