I need to pull a rough draft of an article together today. I dragged my feet for days, and I really should have about tidy 800 words by now. I’ll add another 500 tomorrow from info that I get from interviews. What do I have? Ten unread .pdf files, vague plans, and a lede with too many prepositions.

And instead of plowing through the .pdf files and forging through the always cursed first draft, I’m playing dumb video games and ordering bathing suits from Lands End. I’m should just go and get a job at the GAP. I’m very good at folding sweaters. But before that happens, I’ll blog for a bit.

Okay, I want predictions about 2016. Is Trump really going to get the nomination? What does Sarah Palin do for his ticket? Could we really have a Sanders-Trump election? Will Bloomberg jump in as an independent? Give me answers.
