The Party of Death

The Party of Death is about to strike again.

There is a political party in this country that likes to call itself "pro-life." They adopt this label despite favoring war over diplomacy. Despite supporting capital punishment. Despite opposing sensible gun regulations that even most gun owners support. Despite their distaste for providing meals for poor schoolchildren.

Now they are about to take away access to healthcare from tens of millions of Americans. For what possible reason? Because they can. Because they prize the obliteration of a Democratic president's legacy more than the health and well being of the citizens of this country. Because they prioritize tax breaks for those who need them the least over all else.

Make no mistake: with the proposed cuts to Medicaid and the return of exclusions for pre-existing conditions, thousands -- perhaps tens of thousands -- will die needlessly. And the party that continues to delude itself that it is somehow "pro-life" will further solidify its reputation as the Party of Death.

No, I Don't Empathize With Trump Voters

Today I watched a brief video before the main feature at my local independent cinema. It opened on a slide that said, "This is in response to recent events that have occurred as a consequence of changes in government policy." It then showed people of all races, religions, genders, and sexual orientations stating that we are all one, that our strength comes from our diversity. It was clear that it was intended as a refutation of Trump's immigration policy and Muslim ban. It received an enthusiastic round of applause from the 60 or so patrons seated in that theater in suburban Huntington, New York. I couldn't help but wonder what kind of reception it would have gotten in Mobile or Biloxi. Well, I wholeheartedly approve of the video's message. So is this going to be a Kumbaya moment, another olive branch shakily offered to Trump supporters, a heartfelt plea imploring, "Can't we all just get along?" In a word: NO. I for one am sick and tired of bei...

Values? What Values?

A political columnist wrote that liberals should stop asking how poor whites in Middle America could keep voting against their own economic interests because it's the wrong question. "People don't vote with their wallets," he observed. "They vote for their values." And those values presumably have something to do with more guns, fewer immigrants, and no gays marrying each other. I'm not so sure that people never vote with their wallets. One sure way to pick up votes is to promise to lower taxes. But if you promise that, you'd better deliver. Just ask George HW Bush, who won after promising no new taxes, then lost re-election when he reneged on that promise. Then there is the question of the evangelicals. Where did they stash their "Christian values" when they came out overwhelmingly in support of the pussy-grabbing, twice-divorced Donald Trump? It's been suggested that they were just being practical -- that they saw a chance to fill...

The (P)-Value of Human Experience; or, Numbers Don't Lie, but People with Numbers Might

Which is more valuable: statistics or experience? Don't answer right away; take all the time you need. I'll wait. This question isn't as obvious as you might think, and the first answer you're tempted to give might not be the one you decide to stick with. Humans are not born statisticians. Let's face it, most of us are lousy at statistics. My brilliant friend Julia Galef, who publishes articles, hosts podcasts, and gives TED talks on rationality, holds a degree in statistics from Columbia, and can quote you statistical formulas like nobody's business -- but even she decided not to make her living as a statistician. We tend to trust personal experience more than abstract numbers. This works very well for children. Once you've burned your hand on a hot stove, you've learned to be careful around stoves. Once you've been stung by a bee, you'll always be wary of bees -- and probably a whole lot of harmless insects that happen to look like bees. ...
