  1. Virtually everyone is a low information voter.  Scratch that, everyone is.

    Trump voters resent Dems and minorities and immigrants and those with graduate degrees and anyone who they perceive sides with them.  Trump promises to get back at Dems and minorities and immigrants and intellectuals. 

    That's it. 

    The idea of trying to determine who has a lower intelligence level may be an interesting academic exercise.  But it's like an aggy arguing that their fans are better.  It just doesn't mean shit.   

  2. Right now if you told me that I could either have Haley as President or or a coin toss between Trump and Biden, I certainly would think about it. 

    Virtually any repudiation of Trump at this point would be a step in the right direction.  I saw virtually because there are plenty of Republicans who I think would be worse.  I think Haley is just sane enough for me to want her as the nominee over Trump.

  3. I liked the book.  I was wondering when this was going to get made.

    I rowed one and a half quarter at Stanford.  The crew was a shambles, just a club, and coming back from the dead.  They ultimately didn't have enough interest to field a lightweight crew, and I was too short to be on the main boat.  But it was beautiful to get out on the bay, even on the shitty part of the bay that we rowed on.  Even if this movie is just pretty, I'm going to love it. I thought the rowing scene in the Social Network was pretty cool

    It's a very neat feeling when you get the boat going. 

    I kind of regret not just going out to the boathouse and sculling on my own.
