If 2 Republican Senators Defect

A reader suggests that two Republican senators who are not running for re-election caucus with the Democrats.

The Republicans must hang together or be hanged separately.

    The thought is attributed to Ben Franklin.

Can a Bar of Soap Transmit Infection?

And would a jar of liquid soap be a better bet than bar soap?

I am mildly surprised at the no.

Reliably Unreliable Men, Unlikely to Improve Their Lot

Joseph O’Neill’s story collection, “Good Trouble,” features characters unlikely to be on the receiving end of a warmhearted learning experience.

It is a reasonable description of Donald J. Trump.

He Left Work for 3 Minutes Before His Lunch Break. Now His Pay Is Docked.

A waterworks employee in Kobe, Japan, was fined and reprimanded after his bosses found he had been slipping out to order a bento box before his official lunch break.

I will always want more.
I cannot command more.
I will be satisfied with your effort.

In Hitting China on Trade, Trump Is Seen Neglecting U.S. Emerging Industries

A new report from the administration is a laundry list of complaints about Chinese efforts to support favored industries — but not a strategy for America to foster its own, economists say.

The Trump administration is wrong on all points about trade.
The Chinese do not steal intellectual property from businesses. They have no need to do so.

Charlottesville Rally Organizer Plans ‘White Civil Rights’ March Near White House

Jason Kessler, who helped lead the deadly white supremacist march last August, is planning an event next to the White House on the anniversary of the first rally.

"Good People on both sides"
Richard Nixon's Southern Strategy is dominant in the Republican party.

There is no excusing explicit racism.
They do have the right to rally.
They do not have the right to be heard in the media.
Arrest them if there is any reason to do so.

The chef, author and television correspondent was found dead in a French hotel room last month. His death shook fans and colleagues across the world.


It is the end of a story.
I expect his presence will be missed.
