The Forgotten Man
Writer Turner Catledge laid that pattern out in detail: first there is the early 'idea' period, when either the President or some group of his associates hatches the rather rough form of what is to be attempted. Then there is the selling stage, in which the person or the group who thinks up the idea has to 'sell' it to the other. There follows in third place the 'method' stage when the modus operandi is evolved. Then there comes the final 'publicity' stage when the program is announced and the argument is submitted both to Congress and the public in behalf of its adoption.
I'd argue that the 'final' stage was normally failure.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Robots are the new peasants. Long but interesting read.
- SEC's proposed cap policy would penalize big spending teams $7 million this year. Looks like it sets a cap at about $70 million but doesn't say how those fines would be spent. Don't hold your breathe waiting for it to be adopted.
- Jonathan Turley: Trump wins major ruling in defamation lawsuits against BBC. Good!
Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
The results of the last election don't seem right in a "where's there's smoke there's often fire" sort of way. I'd recommend an Executive Order or law that automatically triggers a DOJ investigation and precludes results from being certified if the number of votes cast exceeds the number of registered voters. Is that too much to ask?

- Jonathan Turley on Justice Jackson and the Separation of Powers.
- Massie vs Reality. He's not wrong.
Veteran's Day Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
This description of a veteran really stuck with me, "A 'Veteran' - whether active duty, discharged, retired or reserve - is someone who, at one point at his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'the United States of America', for an amount up to and including his or her life." Makes you wonder what have you ever written a blank check for in your life?

Today's offering does not include any thoughts on Jensen Huang and his infidelity. Each marriage has its own issues and who am I to judge? Besides, unfortunately I do not own any NVIDIA stock.

Almost a week since last Tuesday's blue wave wipeout in the midterm elections. If you're still complaining about it ask yourself it was over when the Germans bombed Peal Harbor? Who's with me?

Post election thoughts continue to be front of mind but college football yesterday and NFL action today may help go a long way in curing that. Enjoy!

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Susie Wiles out as White House Chief of Staff. Elections have consequences. Stephen Miller named as replacement.
- The President who didn't love a wall. Perhaps the midterm results may have been different if President Trump had had a "tear down this wall" moment explaining the Iran war to the American people.
- VDH: The Midterm is not the Endterm. He's not wrong.
- Jonathan Turley: The DOJ moves forward with grand jury investigation into Dobbs leak. This case may be more important than it seems.

Going to a 6-year old's birthday party in Maine later today so posting will be a little dodgy. Do have some posts planned and spaced out for the day before I go though. So enjoy!
