Not to evoke Greek myth, but they seem to grow stronger with every lie uncovered, every gaucherie exposed, every flaw magnified. I don't think we'll be talking about hanging chads in January -- it's a landslide for sure. Which way? I don't know.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-82214749139942678882016-07-22T11:27:50.354-05:002016-07-22T11:27:50.354-05:00Neil's decision to report on positive things g...Neil's decision to report on positive things going on outside the convention hall yielded some interesting insights, but one hopes for some of his inimitable observations about the convention itself. On the other hand what more is there to say about such as Melania's revelation of her crush on Michelle, mild mannered Mike Pence being upstaged by Ted Cruz acting, uncharacteristically, on principle, the portly governor of New Jersey doing a Sarah Palin, etc., etc.<br /><br />I note the Democrats have not commented much on the farrago, evidently abiding by Napoléon's sound advice that when your enemy is committing blunders you should not interfere.<br /><br />I did notice that the evocation of Bishop Berkeley has disappeared from the original text, and was going to suggest another historical reference, to the Children's Crusade.<br /><br />Tom EvansTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641357239788323783noreply@blogger.com
