As I tumble these thoughts around I have a vision of Whitehorse Chief of Staff Mark Meadows yesterday issuing a profoundly stupid statement---while keeping a straight face. During the interview Meadows actually said---in defense of no proof of fraud due to the use of mail in ballots that there is "no proof that there isn't". Really----he said that

But alas, I depart from my original thought---and that is the conventions---of both herds. Now "reduced" to virtual conventions I pine for the restaurant and bar owners in the designated cites---imagine the lose of business they will suffer as these "liberated" shakers and movers are forced to stay home and try to act like adults under the watchful eyes of their families and peers---heart-rending I tell you!
