Hello Darkness My Old Friend

Has it really been two months? Yeesh.

So the problem is that (1) I’ve been writing a ton, but mostly elsewhere; (2) It’s summer, which means I have other, seasonal, demands on my time; (3) I’m creeping up on a qualifying life event. All of which have conspired to keep my from even doing the bare minimum over here. And do I want to be the kind of guy who does the bare minimum? No. I do not.

So here’s what I’ve been up to recently:

Poking fun at the fat guy in Cleveland.
Thinking through what’s going to follow Trumpapalooza.
Wondering why Trump’s only mode of persuasion is bullying.
Finding a way to get MILF Island into The Weekly Standard.
Explaining why Mike Pence was not the best player available on the board.
Working through why Trumpkins can’t make rational arguments.
Looking at who Clinton should have picked for veep.
Showing you how Clinton could find a way to lose the election.

Anyway, that’s just the political stuff. I also did:

A definitive ranking of chain restaurants.
A tribute to Garry Marshall.
A piece bitching about black teen girl Iron Man.
And some trolling about the weird identity politics of Disney princesses.

So it’s been a busy couple weeks. But I’ll try to better. More flare coming.
