    2. If anything, I've been sleeping more rather than less this summer. I thought a person was supposed to need less sleep as she got older. Maybe I'm not older enough?

    3. Cat~~I don't think that's right. What often happens is that older people sleep less at night but then take an afternoon nap. I'm into the afternoon nap without necessarily sleeping less at night.

    “As a political scientist, I am reluctant to make predictions about elections, especially about the behavior of a single individual. But I'm willing to make an exception this year, because the presidential campaign is turning out to be such an exceptionally crucial (and entertaining) one. Here is what I see as the step-by-step best case scenario for putting a Democrat in the White House next year, with a little help from Donald Trump.”

    P.S.: I understand that Gallup has discovered Pope Francis is on the outs with the mammonolators. Excellent!

    3. Definitely 8! I also quite liked 11 and 13. The wrapup is fetching as well.

  4. If a conservative bigot speaks, and nobody pays attention at all, does it really matter what that person says?
