    About the HRC e-mail server investigation:

    Glenn Reynolds: Hillary's delusional media courtiers [Click] Now this writer does seem to be partisan, but his basic thesis is certainly reasonable, traditional and American. What particularly strikes me is the site of publication: USA Today. I never did care much for USA Today—it seems to have far too little content—it's suitable for the TV [particularly cable TV] generation. But it does have a huge circulation, and is probably more influential than many other newspapers, the NY Times for example.

    1. What I saw in the article on "nonwhite voters" is that Bernie support continues to increase among all demographic groups. But what I learned that I didn't know is that provisional ballots are still being counted, including in Illinois.

  5. I was supposed to have a (routine!) colonoscopy today, but there was evidently a failure to communicate, and the gastroenterology department schedulers didn't know anything about it. (I discovered the problem last week.) I figure that's a first-rate April Fools joke!

    1. Oh--having read that more than 18K people turned out for Bernie in the South Bronx, I wondered how many turned out for HIllary Clinton at the Apollo Theater a couple of days ago. I found no mention of that on line, but found the Apollo can seat no more than about 1500 people.
