62 since ’62. We’re happy to report that today my sweetie-pie and I celebrate having been married since 25 August 1962. We were both then undergrads (seniors) at UCLA. Now it’s two children, six grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren later after a long and wonderful road with some inevitable miles unpaved. Gott sei Dank.
Lies, more lies, and blatant lies. Among other things, these campaigns will be remembered by all as having issue debates with little basis in reality. The Repubs are still not weaned of their bombast and bravura when describing their own accomplishments, and the Dems are simply over the top. Not a single one of their characterization of Trump’s and their own administrations comes anywhere near being factual when compared to the historical record published by the several federal agencies. Voters who care are left to dig out their own takes on reality and the possible promised futures. To this degree was it ever thus? Not in my lifetime. (We await the debates.)
[28aug24 update] Funny business in the polls. Rasmussen reports (here) that the nation’s pollsters are exposing their leftward tilt by holding back recent polling data that shows Kamala’s convention bounce waning. Their leftward lurch is such that “people are holding data or not releasing polls to leave Harris-favorable polling alive in the aggregate. Why put a new poll out if you like the results you got last time?"
