Never mind. For the record, here is our favorite part of Mr Trump’s victory speech earlier this morning: “For those who have chosen not to support me in the past …, I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country.”
Time to update our priors.
Revised 11/7: Is Peter Thiel angling for a position in a Trump White House? Whatever his motives, we tend to agree with most of what Mr Thiel is saying, which is why we are voting Libertarian this year.
Gawker’s Ashley Feinberg did some digging and was able to trace the origins of Donald’s Trump’s meticulous hairdo. It’s a toupee! According to Ms Feinberg, Trump’s toupee is based on “a little-known, patented hair restoration treatment [pictured below] called a ‘microcylinder intervention.'” Read her full report here.
It’s alive!

In our previous post, we mentioned that a small number of scholars (about 150 intellectuals at last count) have openly declared their support for Donald Trump. According to their public statement, the 150 are voting for Trump for the following reasons: (1) K-12 education, (2) religion, (3) economics, (4) corruption, and (5) the Supreme Court. Below the fold is our reasoned reply to their five arguments: Continue reading

Why aren’t any of the postseason games at Wrigley Field day games? Because the suits at Major League Baseball and the TV networks are greedy bastards. In the words of sportswriter Ryan Fagan:
… it’s known start times are heavily influenced (OK, controlled) by TV networks, and TV networks love prime-time contests. But they’re missing a wonderful opportunity to give a nod toward nostalgia, and how great of a hook would this be? They could sell this, folks.
Saturday’s Game 4 would have been the perfect fit. It’s a weekend, which means the typical 9-to-5 routines of the work week don’t apply to most would-be viewers. And the way the primary competition for sports eyeballs — college football on Saturday — is set up, with flexible start times, most of the best games are in the evening anyway.
As Fagan notes, the Cubs didn’t play their first night game at the Friendly Confines until August 6, 1988. By way of comparison, the White Sox, the other baseball team in Chicago, installed lights at the original Comiskey Park in 1939.

hoping we know we're living the dream
Lover of math. Bad at drawing.
We hike, bike, and discover Central Florida and beyond
Making it big in business after age 40
Reasoning about reasoning, mathematically.
I don't mean to sound critical, but I am; so that's how it comes across
remember the good old days...
