I, PERSONALLY, WAS TIRED 25 YEARS AGO: The woman was never even, “all meringue, no cake” she was “all fake meringue, no cake”, a frothy creation of feminist imagination, such as it is. After 25 years, Americans are bored with Hillary Clinton – and it could stop her becoming the first female president. And let’s stop with the “first” this and “first that.” We need a competent president. The presidency is not a place for sympathy ribbons and participation medals.
A BATTLE FOR EYEBALLS: Newspapers escalate their fight against ad blockers.
AND ONCE MORE MY SHOCKED FACE: Clinton has been burying emails since she was first lady. Like a dog returns to his vomit, like a sow returns to her mire, this former first lady is dirty and never ceases to conspire.
OKAY, FROM MY KIDS’ EXPERIENCES, AP IS OKAY, DUAL COLLEGE/HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS ARE GREAT. DON’T BOTHER WITH BACCALAUREATE: Why two bright students say I messed up their high school. And ALWAYS examine the school and program in question, not just a generic “all of these are good.”
HOW IS WINDOWS X LIKE A VIRUS?Warning: Microsoft is hacking your computer.
AND AGAIN MY SHOCKED FACE: America’s ‘recovery’ is baloney — we’re actually broke.
THIS RIGHT HERE IS MY SHOCKED FACE: Famed Animal Expert Jack Hanna Says Gorilla Would Have Killed Boy.
SURE. DEPENDING ON SAMPLE SIZE; WHAT’S GOING ON IN PEOPLE’S LIVES, ETC: Women Are More Interested In Sex Than You Think, Studies Show. Anyone who thinks women aren’t interested in sex doesn’t realize women are human.
FROM MY EXPERIENCE, IT’S MUCH HARDER TO CONCENTRATE ONCE THEY START DRIVING AND ARE OUT TILL ALL HOURS… AND BEFORE YOU GET USED TO IT: Does Having a Baby Really Make It Harder to Concentrate?

BUT IF A FRATERNITY HAD BEHAVED THE SAME WAY THEY’D BE SHUT DOWN: Dartmouth Alumni Relations on Black Lives Matter library disruption: ‘no rules broken.’
But remember: If you’re thinking of sending your kid to Dartmouth, we now have an official statement that the administration is okay with them facing this kind of thing while they try to study in the library.
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: When Protests Obstruct Free Speech. This is not a hard question. Students who block others’ events should be arrested, and expelled. It’s only a hard question if you’re troubled by the idea of lefty activists facing consequences for their actions.

ON FACEBOOK, RICHARD FERNANDEZ COMMENTS: “Maybe the Arab Spring was unlike the Color Revolutions because Barack Obama was unlike Ronald Reagan.” How the Syrian revolt went so horribly, tragically wrong.
CAN YOU SEE THE REAL ME? IF SO, HAND ME MY BIFOCALS: British mod movie Quadrophenia sequel is being made – 37 years after the original.
I loved the original, which is a brilliant “coming of age” film set during a once-little known period of British pop culture and builds on the incredible atmosphere of The Who’s 1973 double album. (It’s an even bigger triumph when compared to Ken Russell’s craptacular Tommy movie, released just a few years prior, when the Who were at the apogee of their career). But I’ve got a bad feeling about a sequel at this late date, to coin a phrase popularized by another film during the late ‘70s.
