Random Notes - Idle Thoughts
Random Note — Fact Checkers — AKA Orwell’s Thought Police
Thinking recently about the Facebook and Twitter Thought Police, aka, “Fact Checkers" and it occurs to me how “fact checking” by supposed “independent” fact checkers, at least at the industrial level we now see them operating, are a recent phenomenon, a recent...
Random Note — To SCOTUS: If not you, who? If not now, when?
To rework Simon and Garfunkel's, Mrs Robinson: “a nation turns it lonely eyes to you”. And The Supreme Court turned away and squibbed it. What a gaggle of milquetoast mediocrities they turned out to be in this hour of greatest need in the national interest of the...
Random Note — The Media
It’s very easy to blame the media for their bias and misinformation and it really does exist but I think we need to assume that that is already baked into our assumptions and drives our skepticism and that it’s up to each person to ferret around and find out what’s...
Random Note — What’s Wrong With This Picture?
In every respect it is a production. A production worthy of Leni Riefenstahl, the producer of Hitler’s propaganda films. As fraudulent or as counterfeit as an 18th century Potemkin village.
Random Note — Saying it is so, doesn’t make it so

Random Note — Drive-By Experts with Drive-By Opinions
In the age of Trump and the Trump detractors, the “drive by” description could be applied more broadly to the drive-by experts with their drive-by opinions.
A brilliant summary and distillation — A Man Vs A Moment
This election is a contest between a man, Donald Trump, who believes America is good, and a man, Joe Biden, who is controlled by a movement that believes America is bad. Or to put this another way, between a man who wants to preserve the American way of life and a man who will end up destroying it.
Random Note — Another Real Estate Deal and an Education on Education
Imagine for a moment you’re a New York property developer and you have your eye on one particular property. If only you could acquire it, it would be the jewel in your property development crown. Problem is the owner understands the value of his property which has been in the family for 72 years and will only sell on his terms.
