Of course, she is a liberal - but with a calm and thoughtful mind. And better still, she doesn't get hysterical because people disagree with her. She has singularities as does any person - homosexuality (understandable with a gay son) and love of Obama (incomprehensible), but she soldiers on, blogging thoughtfully year in and year out on topics that interest her. I, for one, will be sorry when she stops. And I am worried a bit now that she is retiring from teaching."<br /><br />Thanks and don't worry. I am retiring so I can blog more and better.

And full-funereal tones, if heard, can only mean a likely Trump win."<br /><br />This puts me in mind of P.J. O'Rourke's description of covering the election that toppled the Sandinistas:<br /><br />"It wasn't until another journalist told me the Sandinistas were in trouble that I believed it....Around 11:00 PM a network television newsman with (don't be shocked) left-wing connections came by looking agitated. 'P.J., I was just over at Sandy headquarters and something's gone seriously wrong,' he said, meaning the opposite."<br /><br />(Still can't believe this man views HRC as "wrong within normal parameters." But he was funny, back in the day.)JPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413052994164641967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-10965503356425607082016-11-03T13:59:36.055-05:002016-11-03T13:59:36.055-05:00Shiloh - our own Tokyo Rose (or possibly Lord Haw ...Shiloh - our own Tokyo Rose (or possibly Lord Haw Haw); for those of you too young, WWII.Victoria - Shiloh's tag team match partner.

Compare that to all the children she's helped, and how many more will be better off for her being president! It's kind of like Teddy Kennedy being a great champion of women - except that one, who, had she lived, he would have brought comfort to in her old age.<br /><br />Shiloh, thanks for the civil response. You make out a case. We disagree, and I think you sell our host short, but she can speak for herself if she feels like it.<br /><br />Dr. Weevil,<br /><br />"Althouse is one of the few sites that is scrupulously fair in not putting a thumb on the scale" - funny how that'll get you accused of being either a closet conservative or a sell-out these days.

Althouse is one of the few sites that is scrupulously fair in not putting a thumb on the scale, so both sides can make their cases without fear of deletion.<br />2. Today's left has a severe shortage of convincing arguments, because most of their policies simply don't work. Relatively intelligent lefties much prefer to do their 'arguing' in echo chambers where no one can challenge them without being deleted. (Really intelligent lefties have mostly given up leftism as way too dumb for them.) We only get the really dumb ones who can't even tell when they've been refuted. In some case, it appears that they can tell they're making stupid arguments, but they're paid to do so, and have no self-respect, so they keep doing it.<br />Then again, perhaps shiloh can tell, and is paid to pretend she can't.Dr Weevilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10059306888033890029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-73707922789496030032016-11-03T11:23:26.238-05:002016-11-03T11:23:26.238-05:00"I bet Fox has been more critical of Trump th..."I bet Fox has been more critical of Trump than ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC have been of Hillary."<br /><br />In the beginning foxnews was all-in re: Trump.

This is the worst part of the story. Clinton clearly broke the law but the DOJ refused to indict because she is a democrat and they are democrats.<br /><br /><a href="http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/31/hillarys-two-official-favors-to-morocco-resulted-in-28-million-for-clinton-foundation/" rel="nofollow">Just one example:</a><br /><br />Hillary took 28 million dollars from the king of morocco. She moved the CGI conference there. The state department changed the status of the territory Morocco is occupying and allowed aid to go to that region. Then a 92 million dollar loan from the US import/export bank was given to the mining company that is milling off all of the locals in the occupied territories. <br /><br />The cherry on top? This mine produces phosphates. Clinton sent the EPA after the biggest phosphate mine in the US.<br /><br />This is specific, sourced, and a million times more credible than anything you posted. Added bonus is it is obviously illegal.<br /><br />Achilleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109507896997459818noreply@blogger.com
