Leon Levinstein Head of Man with Hat and Cigar c1960 A Pew Research Center poll that’s already a month old (and a lot happened since) concluded that violent crime is a major issue according to 59% of voters (almost as much as coronavirus): 74% of Republicans and 46% of Democrats. But during the DNC, held after the poll was already out, the issue wasn’t addressed at all. Democrats talked about police violence, but not riot violence. At this

Edward Hopper Tables for ladies 1930 Haven’t heard from Dr. D in a while, other than in the Comments section here at the Automatic Earth. Where I stopped reading his comments after the umpteenth time he said the COVID fatality rate was only 0.000001%. I find that only repetitious, annoying and more importantly, entirely irrelevant.

Édouard Manet Woman with a jug 1858-60 John Day is one of the “resident physicians” at the Automatic Earth, who posts on a very regular basis in our Comments section.
