May you live in interesting times ...

I've refrained from blogging, these past six weeks, figuring the country had enough nastiness without my adding to it. Now that it's over, I am reminded of the Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times. Indeed, that seems to be our fate.

Congratulations, Mr Trump! I hope you understand the magnitude of what happened last night: a nation of 320 million people rolled the dice and came up with you. Please don't betray them, as so many politicians have.
