Sorry. I was trying to post a long comment by cutting and pasting. Turned into word salad. I’m not happy with the Twitterish limitation on the number of characters here. Anyway, ignore the last several posts. Pure gibberish.

I I can’t get past it. The guy has a genius level IQ, extensive knowledge of history and literature…and he supported Trump. I keep trying to figure it all out, and it doesn’t make sense.

. So you can’t even see any if the hundreds of blogs we wrote. I used to scan the news feeds every morning to select the outrage I wanted to feature that day. Now I look at the sports feeds and go back to playing Golf Clash. Cory supported Trump.

I was the liberal, he was the conservative. Had to shut it down and burn it to the ground when we got sued for copyright infringement when I used a pic of some country star in my weekly “Celebrities Behaving Badly” column

I have a good friend from
med school, Cory Franklin. You can Google him. Brilliant guy, three books, dozens of op-eds. We used to write a blog together, sort of like “Firing Line”.

Mer and I have been on a news fast since 11/5/24. I’ve clicked on a couple of articles. I get three sentences in, and I have to bail. Seeing or hearing him enrages me and sickens me at the same time.
