Business Day

Paul Horner, Fake News Writer Who Took Credit for Trump Victory, Dies at 38

The cause was an apparent drug overdose. His hoaxes included articles about paid protesters and claims that President Obama was gay and a Muslim.

I celebrate the end of the noise.
I would prefer he learned and stopped.

I have the tools.   I do not have the attention.

The players are accused of transferring money from a stolen credit card to their campus bookstore accounts and using it to buy electronics.

Pay them all.

What I Care About Is Important. What You Care About Is a ‘Distraction’

It’s a clever way to write off other points of view: Just suggest they’re getting in the way of what truly matters.

The presumption is that there is some symmetry to the distribution of facts.
Some people are crazy.
Some arguments have no grounding in reality.
I will continue to try to ignore the crazy when they are not a danger.

What You Get for $1.2 Million

A Cape Cod house in Manchester, a renovated home with a guest cottage in New Orleans and a 1780 Dutch colonial on the North Shore of Long Island.

Your money, your house.
I would rather build.

When the Streets Were Mean (but Far Less Crowded)

The photographer Edward Grazda captured a city before our Gilded Age, when you could fix your car on the curb but you could never win at three-card monte.

I remember.

The Tiger Force Atrocities

In 1967, a single Army platoon killed hundreds of Vietnamese civilians, and no one was held responsible.

I have been catching bits of the Ken Burns film on Vietnam.
No surprises so far. 
There is more known as fact of what I believed at the time.
I do not regret my opposition to the Vietnam adventure.

Bond 45 Reopens in a New Theater District Location

The latest from John Fraser, a collaboration between Nom Wah and Fung Tu and other restaurant news.

As you wish.
I will not gush about a review.
