Clarence Page Is an Optimist 2

Clarence Page potters about:

“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling strongly objects to those who compare Lord Voldemort, the “Dark Lord” who is Potter’s archenemy in Rowling’s novels, to Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump. . . .

Some Twitter users compared Trump to Voldemort in December after the billionaire developer and TV reality show star proposed a ban on Muslims entering the United States.

“How horrible,” Rowling responded in a tweet of her own. “Voldemort was nowhere near as bad.”

Follow the link to observe Page grasping at a straw: the desperate hope that Paul Ryan just might be the sane one in his insane party.

    Paul Ryan, “unifyng,” someone with empathy? And I’m Papa Hemingway.

    I read today that Charles Koch is backing Ryan. Too lazy to look up a citation at this hour though.

    Wouldn’t surprise me. Ryan knows how to look “presentable,” however noxious his ideas. To quote a management author from the 80s whose name I cannot dredge up from my memory, he “wears nice suits, looks good in meetings, writes nice memos.”

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!).
