Those early hominids
It’s pretty well-established that early humans outside of Africa mated with Neanderthals. For example, through DNA testing, I learned that I have an only slightly less-than-average share of Neanderthal myself. Now we learn that people of west African heritage have … Continue reading →
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day
Do you know where your flowers are? I’m not a big Valentine’s Day person. For one thing, my drafted boyfriend was inducted into the army on that day in 1968. For another – and over thirty years later – my … Continue reading →
Bias: the jury foreman in the Roger Stone case…
…was Tomeka Hart, and now it is being reported that earlier she had tweeted many anti-Trump posts, including the strong belief that all Trump followers are racists, and that she seems to have tweeted prior to the trial in ways … Continue reading →
Sanders 2016, Sanders 2020
It’s true that in 2016 Sanders got 60% of the New Hampshire primary vote to Hillary’s 38%. It’s also true that it was basically a dead heat in Iowa in 2016 for the two candidates. How to compare to the … Continue reading →
The Mueller investigation and Roger Stone: wheels within wheels

Waiting for Durham
We wait and wait, but my guess is that only the lawyer who hid the CIA-asset status of Carter Page will pay any real price. I hope I’m wrong and that bigger fish get caught, but my faith in that … Continue reading →
A Rolling Stone postmortem on the Democrat fiasco in Iowa
From Matt Taibbi: When historians pore over the Great Iowa Catastrophe of 2020, much of the blame will be focused on Acronym and Shadow, the two firms associated with the balky app that was supposed to count caucus results. For … Continue reading →
Jordan Peterson is ill, and his critics are happy
Ghoulish of them. But is that any surprise?: Ironically, the anti-Petersonians now seem far more fanatical than Peterson’s most faithful fans. This became clear in recent days, when some of Peterson’s critics — including, amazingly, a professor at the University … Continue reading →
In case you’ve been stranded on a desert island recently, today is the NH primary
First, I’m going to make a prediction without reading the polls. I predict Sanders wins, Buttigieg second, Klobuchar third, Biden fourth. I think Sanders will lead because in 2016 he beat Hillary Clinton 60% to 38% in the New Hamphshire … Continue reading →
