I have me a busy day ahead. Dunno when I'll be getting back to the blog here so I figured I'd better soup things up and give you warning. But before I go…
A couple of folks have written to quibble with my premise that saying Donald Trump is deliberately lying is nicer than saying he's a pathological liar. This isn't worth a whole lotta debate but I do think the latter is the more insulting view. A deliberate liar could theoretically stop lying. The pathological one probably cannot.
Speaking of the man everyone's speaking of: The newly-unsealed documents in the Trump University lawsuit do not speak well of Mr. Trump. It's looking like a pretty blatant swindle there with Trump only concerned with his profit and his image, not whether his business actually delivered that which was promised. I don't think this will cost him a lot of votes but it may make him seem even more hypocritical when he refers to "Crooked Hillary."
I can't believe I'm planning panels for this year's Comic-Con already. Wasn't last year's Comic-Con about a month ago?
Lots of folks online are bashing Mrs. Bill Cosby for standing by Mr. Bill Cosby. I guess it's easy to say "Well, if I was in her position…" but you're not. We don't know what that marriage is really like and how much they mean to one another or what it would mean to either of them to separate. I don't think abandoning a loved one in trouble is usually a great thing and I don't think staying with them is always "enabling" and like I said, we don't know much about their relationship. We just don't.
Want to know who's going to win the California Primary, Bernie or Hillary? If you search a bit online, you can find a poll that will show he will or one that will indicate she will or one which says it's too close to call. I sure have no idea. I'm not even that sure what kind of outcome — him winning, her winning, the winner winning by a lot or a little — I'd prefer. At this point, I just want one of them to win and for the loser to rally his/her supporters behind the victor.
I just hope all the Bernie-backers who've been saying they'd never vote for Hillary, and all the Hillary-supporters who say they'll never cast votes for Bernie will take their lead from Marco Rubio and promptly reverse themselves. Rubio's been apologizing for saying Trump had small hands and a smaller penis and I expect any day now, he'll be apologizing to Donald for even running against him. Hope we're not going to see Jeb Bush saying, "Donald was right…I am low-energy" and Carly Fiorina announce, "I'm sorry, Trump was completely right about my face."
See you folks later…maybe.
