The Iowa raree show grinds on. And afterwards, the analyses which take idiocies at face value, as though there were really something there to analyze. And after that, New Hampshire. The media are to blame in that flat-out lies are accepted as data so long as they can be attributed. It is sloppy and vicious reporting. The worst of the worst in the political zoo are creations of the media, in that deviations from reason which do little harm in a Kiwanis Hall in Trenton are put, without critique, on the national stage and treated as though they were responsible perspectives. It is cynical, traitorous. I actually blame the media more for valorizing fibs and insanities than the candidates for originating them.
