Brexit, Trump and Clinton II
Democratic Party strategists were probably quite enthusiastic as they analyzed the returns from Thursday’s Brexit vote. The result was not what they expected, but the demographics, when translated into an American context, would seem to bode well for Hillary Clinton’s team. Their theory would be that progressive Americans are located in the more liberally minded […]
Brexit, Trump and Clinton I
They hadn’t finished counting the votes before the pundits were weighing in on what the Brexit vote meant to the Trump presidential campaign. I stared at the television and yelled that they were wrong. The decision by British voters to have the United Kingdom withdraw from the European Union has worldwide implications. Most of those […]

The premise seemed reasonable enough: a family dealing with an impending, premature, death with a bowling tournament as the backdrop. Life goes on after all. My […]
Christian Mingle
They make movies with the flimsiest of premises these days. There are films based on books, on comics (excuse me, I mean graphic novels), on true stories, on news events, and on video games. So I guess a film based on a dating website was inevitable. If I had seen Christian Mingle in the theatre […]

The posts in this blog normally go up at 2 a.m. my time while I am fast asleep. I initially wrote this a year ago, and it never seemed like the right time to post it. Mixed feelings I guess. I am still having mixed feelings, but given that today is Father’s Day (in North […]
