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.

Democracy or democrazy?

Admittedly the choice between corrupt democrats and corrupt republicans isn't the political choice I want. I'd rather vote my way towards fairness, elimination of poverty, anti-trust laws that fight the consolidation of corporations (you read about grocery stores lately?), education, infrastructure. What you do get is a vote for democrats that vote to end rail strikes ( source ) because they can't carve out of the profits a sick leave, versus reality denying, Russian bought, obstructionists who might lower taxes, and want smaller government. The Ron Swanson's of the world who hate government and work in government. I've been running into people who believe the corrupt choices aren't worth even making. Reasons not to pay attention.I've thought that a few times in my life, but I don't think that now.  There are real choices about health care for women, and even just an attitude towards democracy. It's hard to fight past the rhetoric, and understand eve...

Consent

You couldn't have a better title to a memoir in these times. You can read about Humbert Humbert, and other male narratives, but the female narrative of the statutory rape is fulfilled by this book. I feel slightly ill while reading this book. What she goes through is off, and it's hard to put a finger on it besides  Hebephilia . All the collaborating details from her mother, to her doctors, to her father. Vanessa Springora will be remembered for other things, she is a director and a publisher. I'm not sure if  Gabriel Matzneff will be remembered for other things. At least not on this side of the pond. I do have a kind of jealousy for the appreciation of the intellectual life in France.  Matzneff cites Lewis Carroll , and others as having the appreciation for youth. I read his Wikipedia page. That led to other questions about photographers who take pictures of their children. That led me down a creepy path. As much as Springora tries to not make it sexy, I wonder ho...
