The debate—random observations as my nausea subsides

-
Kamala did great but 70 minutes of psychotic narcissism turned my stomach. I left the gathering, came home, and crawled into bed with my cat. I doubt it will matter via a vis the election but it matters to listen to his hatred and know so many sick white men think Donald Trump is their Messiah. These Trump soldiers are primarily silly armed white men who no enlightened country can afford to have as voting citizens.

I agree with Trump that I think the US is a laughingstock.  Half of us have been apologizing since Nixon. Many since Andrew Jackson.  Our nation is an endless Trail of Tears for those who live here, and an endless closed gate for those who have nowhere to go (Polish Jews?  That was a real high point of the US.)

 I love “they never fire anyone” and the whole “immigrants kill and eat dogs” (this from a meat eater) stuff except as always, he sounds pathological and criminally racist to me…and we know half the country is jumping up and down in front of their 72 inch TV screens screaming “right on…punch that bitch Don!”

Full disclosure: my ex-wife Mina believes I could have killed her with a broken plate, so she says I’m not a leftist or a fellow traveler with women.  She thinks I’m like Trump and that neither Don nor I deserve the time of day or anything else.  

That being said, I fear who will knock at my door.  The KKK?  The Proud Boys?  A CIA operative?  I only know one thing.  My assassin will own weapons.  I do not, and I will never take up arms.  I’m embarrassed to live as a US citizen, but I will be proud to die as an unarmed US pacifist.   

From Frank Bruni at the NYT:

And Trump can be beaten…

Insufficiently prepared and demonstrably perturbed, he was reduced to insults and catcalls: Biden was a beach bum. Harris shirked important matters of state for a sorority reunion. And she had no real plan for the economy.

“It’s, like, four sentences,” Trump groused. “Run, Spot, run.”

Um, that’s three words. And isn’t Spot running so he doesn’t end up as charcuterie?

Meet my friend, the mediocre hedge fund manager

-
There is no such thing as smart money.   Yet, when was the last time you heard some one described as a "below-average hedge fund manager?" Probably never. Or a "mediocre physicist?" That's because these two professions seem mystical to people who don't stop to question that at least half of the hedge fund managers--and physicists-- graduated in the bottom 50% of their university peer group. Yet look at the HFRI Equity Hedge Index compared to investing in a no-fee indexed S&P fund since 1996--the last 20 years.   (Note:   you've been screwed in either case so don't hold your breath).  Yes, all those wicked smart hedge fund guys (remember their nice suits from back in the late 90's?) rocked along at 13% annual returns from '96 til early '00.   So did the S&P. Since then it's been a negative shithouse for the guys who get their drawn portraits published in the WSJ.   Between ''08 and '13 a dollar invested i...

Sharing my ex-wife’s group holiday greeting

-
There are many things I loved about my ex. This journal entry is about why I think she's an asshole. I was having a relatively OK day today. Goodbye 2024 which as been a bear. Hello 2025. Maybe my PTSD and depression symptoms will abate as I begin another loop of our solar system.  Then—My realtor sent an update about why my ex-home in NYC hasn't sold. Since I co-own this cash nightmare with my ex, we're on the message together. Mina respounds "thanks. Best wishes to all of you for 2025. A sweetheart! A clever and insightful writer and communicator.  A life coach to the masses. Someone whose messaging would have more sincerity if she ran her prompts through ChatGPT first.  I am not your realtor. I do not work for you and I no longer care if you stand up or fall down. I unblock you for a few days and I get your sick performative pablum. You are a problem for me—an obstacle to my own success in life. Just as you have been for so many others.  Here’s how you gro...

30 day warning: you don’t embarrass a mobster

-
We just witnessed Zelensky embarrassing Trump and that other mongrel. Thanks to Trump's 4year old ego, he demanded that he be on TV so he could film himself being a schoolyard bully. Instead, at least he didn't wet his pants. 30 days. Trump's first political assassination. Here we go. Shit gets real now. Trump and Vance should have worn Snuggies. Stay in your cribs, children. Let mommy take care of this.  The US destroyed Poland to appease Stalin. Trump and Vance don’t know that they just repeated the most repulsive part of FDR’s tenure. Who would do business with the US?  We’re led by a mobster and a crook who never pays his bills. Rudy Giuliani did business with Trump. Zelensky is only trying to avoid the same outcome for his people.  With friends like the US, no one needs enemies. We’re a full-service lethal force provider!  I send my respect to Zelensky and his violated and betrayed citizens. You have clarified in a way no one before you has had the courage t...
