Talking about the bias of mainstream media is tiresome, so forgive me for the following. It is again glaring in the different tact taken in the latest disaster in Louisiana compared to how Katrina was reported. President Bush was bashed for doing nothing more than a flyover. Obama has gotten a free pass for not breaking away from his vacation to visit the flood victims. He will get there eventually. I doubt Hillary will. I'm starting to believe the pundits who claim she has serious physical issues. That should be meaningless to voters on the fence. She would be able to fulfill her duties from the Oval Office, that's all that matters. Trump was on the ground in Louisiana, handling out supplies and toys he had trucked in at his own expense. It was smart politics, but doesn't seem like it will make a difference in the race for the White House. He's had a great week, but the optimism I felt a few days ago was vanquished by an op-ed piece by the right-leaning Kyle Smith. He sees Hillary winning in a landslide, despite her unbelievable negatives, and the polls in battleground states corroborate it.
My thanks to Amazon, which sent two payments to my bank account, one for the sale of a Kindle download, the other for potential customers reading pages of my books. It amounted to less than three bucks, but it is still appreciated. The fact that they do it astounds me. I had worried about being bounced due to weak sales. The largess makes me feel like a true partner in their business model. As for street sales, customers came early and late, only one in-between. In fact, I'd already closed shop and discovered a young woman hovering as I made a u-turn to pick up the crates. She bought a book of love poetry and Think Smart by Richard Restak M.D., and a moment later a mom suggested a V.C. Andrews novel for her teenage daughter. My thanks, and to all the other customers as well. I had a visit from B.S. Bob, who believes the Clintons had JFK Jr. killed to keep him from running for the senate seat Hillary coveted. He's miffed that one of the Brit tabloid sites features a story of John-John's hope to run for governor. Bob believes it's a re-writing of history to keep the "truth" suppressed. Some people...
