Just visited the Dickens Museum in London. Watched a video featuring comments from a number of actors who have played Dickens characters in films and on stage. The consistent opinion was that the best version of A Christmas Carol is The Muppets Christmas Carol.

Trump lies because it’s what he does; it’s his fundamental nature to lie. The proper question is, why do so many people continue to believe his lies, and why does the press not confront him to his face? Compelled to be polite to the dictator?

Some of us do, but there's nothing we can do about it right now. I'm heading off to London soon, and I know at the UK border I'm going to be asked the purpose of my visit. I'm going to respond "tourism", but the real reason is to apologize.

The same thing happened to my wife and I in Jackson Square in New Orleans. We were there celebrating our 40th anniversary, having spent our honeymoon in NOLA in 1968. I couldn't help hinking about the circle of life.

So let’s get this straight. Farmers vote for Trump in 2016. Trump policies require a bailout of farmers. Farmers vote for Trump again in 2020. Trump policies put farmers in the ditch again. Farmers beg for another bailout. American taxpayers ask “What’s wrong with this picture?”
