Some of Us Change Radically in the Course of Our Lives
Author/satirist Jonathan Swift left us with this: If a man would register all his opinions upon love, politics, religion, learning, etc., beginning from his youth and so go on to old age, what a bundle of inconsistencies and contradictions would appear at last!

I had a phone call just now with a reader, a Fox News acolyte, who is under the impression that Trump took very few vacations, whereas, to her horror, Biden just took four days off over Thanksgiving.
