Men on the Lying Trapeze 1

Shaun Mullen wraps up the Presidential nomination campaigns and almost dislocates his shoulder patting himself in the back (every pat is deserved!).

As an aside, a while ago, I wrote that media attempts to make Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders opposite poles of the “on the one hand, on the other hand’ narrative, the farcical construct so loved by what Driftglass calls the “bothsiderists” in the Village, was a crock, that is was like (this is not a quote) protesting that Andrew Dice Clay and George Carlin were somehow equivalent because they both appeared on television.

Shaun, though, has found a similarity that I overlooked.

Both, in their own distinctive ways, are sore losers, and Sanders has become a sniveling crank, to boot . . . .

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
