Since 2004 I've been analyzing, and writing about, voter behavior in US presidential elections'.

“Fight Like Hell”: My review of the documentary

The documentary Fight Like Hell (2024) shook me to my core. It's about the January 6th, 2021 riot at the US Capital. The film doesn't take sides.

Maureen Dowd and the Presidents

Maureen Dowd is one of my favorite writers. She's been at The New York Times for decades and covering politics, particularly US presidents, for thirty-six years. Beginning with George Herbert Walker Bush, or 41, who was very fond of her. Keep that in mind. Dowd was recently interviewed about that at the New Orleans book festival. I … Continue reading Maureen Dowd and the Presidents →
