A personal note on this election

The New Neo Posted on November 6, 2024 by neoNovember 6, 2024

I’m still pinching myself about the election results. But it doesn’t seem like this will feature a repeat of the post-election reversals of 2020; the win was apparently too big for that. And yet still too close for comfort, given … Continue reading →

Election Day

The New Neo Posted on November 5, 2024 by neoNovember 5, 2024

Not much to add at this point. I’m trying to decide how to handle this evening: when to start watching, and how to maintain some sort of equanimity in the face of the tension. I don’t know whether we’ll know … Continue reading →

Can’t we all just get along?

The New Neo Posted on October 31, 2024 by neoOctober 31, 2024

From the one and only Babylon Bee: “Listen up, you Nazis. Here’s the deal,” Biden said. “Dangerous, inflammatory rhetoric has no place in our political discourse. That’s why I’m calling on all of Donald Trump’s nasty, disgusting, disease-infested, Hitler-loving, supporters … Continue reading →

On abortion as the #1 issue

The New Neo Posted on October 30, 2024 by neoOctober 30, 2024

From commenter “Peter Sells”: t worries me, the notion that there are so many people in the voting public for whom it is possible that abortion might be the #1, #2 and #3 (…) issue. The economy could crash, the … Continue reading →

Critical Legal Studies: the radical assault on truth in American law was already apparent many decades ago

The New Neo Posted on October 25, 2024 by neoOctober 27, 2024

I became interested in Critical Legal Studies long ago, in the 1980s. I had been to law school in the 1970s, so it didn’t affect my own legal education. To the best of my recollection, although my law school had … Continue reading →

Today is the 20th anniversary of this blog [BUMPED UP: scroll down for new posts]

The New Neo Posted on September 28, 2024 by neoSeptember 28, 2024

That’s mind-boggling to me. I started very tentatively, at my son’s suggestion. When he said I should start a blog I immediately said, “No, no way.” But he went to Blogger.com, showed me a few blog templates and told me … Continue reading →

Things I’ve noticed lately

The New Neo Posted on September 25, 2024 by neoSeptember 25, 2024

It’s getting darker earlier. I hate that. It’s getting a mite colder, too. That, I don’t mind. In fact, I rather like the change. I’m getting more tired of cooking and more into eating prepared foods. These Power Bowls aren’t … Continue reading →

This old house

The New Neo Posted on September 14, 2024 by neoSeptember 14, 2024

I think this video is kind of fun. My observations follow: (1) My mother called the refrigerator the icebox for most or maybe even all of her life. (2) I have very strong memories of transom windows. In particular, they … Continue reading →

On presidential debates

The New Neo Posted on September 11, 2024 by neoSeptember 11, 2024

First let’s talk about what happened last night. I didn’t watch the debate, because – as I’ve said many times – I hate presidential debates and they make me very nervous as well. In this case, I expected Trump to … Continue reading →

Question authority, revisited

The New Neo Posted on August 27, 2024 by neoAugust 27, 2024

Here’s an interesting comment from “Cary Kembla.” It’s an attempt to explain Democrat voters who continue to believe the biased MSM and authorities who’ve been wrong so many times: I think the dimension that is lacking in these people is … Continue reading →

Customer support has gotten even worse, if such a thing be possible

The New Neo Posted on August 26, 2024 by neoAugust 26, 2024

In the past two days I’ve spent several frustrating hours locking horns with so-called customer support for three companies. The terms “customer support” and “chat” became fairly Orwellian quite some time ago, but the situation has gotten even more ridiculous … Continue reading →

Commenter “AesopFan” explains my own position vis à vis liberal Democrat friends and family, for the most part

The New Neo Posted on August 24, 2024 by neoAugust 24, 2024

Here’s the description [emphasis mine]: [From] JFM > “These are educated people who always take the news at face value. I can’t understand this. It drives me crazy.” When they only see the news from one side, in which so … Continue reading →
