Looks like we may possibly probably could have an end to the shutdown. Both my senators — one of whom has a special-needs kid — made the switch, which is either pragmatism or cowardice, depending on your POV. So a lot of political cartoons have to be used before they become obsolete. Mamet, however, is […]
The Dunning-Kruger Effect is about people who don’t realize how little they know about a particular topic. It’s not confined to stupid people and could apply, for instance, to a well-qualified, highly educated physician who spouts nonsense about tectonic plate shifting despite geology not being his area of expertise. There aren’t many people who are […]
Several reversals to cover today, so we’ll start with one Steve Kelley probably wishes he could have back. The cartoon is based on an incident in Thursday night’s Philadelphia/Dallas game in which Eagles player Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, which Kelley transformed into an accusation that leftists are spitting […]

There used to be a Sunday talking heads show called Issues and Answers, which was a pretty ambitious promise, though back then they tried. Today, it would be called “Issues and Talking Points” and I don’t watch Sunday political chat shows because I’m old enough to remember when politicians who went on “Meet the Press” […]
On the Fastrack (KFS) reminds me that the first course I took in my major was called “Ways of Knowing,” and I think it was intended to take a room full of first-semester sophomores down a peg or two. It was that basic classic college metaphysics class where the professor holds out a pen and […]
