On Monday I predicted that Rubio would outperform expectations in New Hampshire because the voting in primaries is – in my view – probably rigged. Instead, Rubio dropped like a rock after his Saturday debate in which Christie annihilated him.
So I was totally wrong about Rubio getting a suspicious bump up in the polls. When I wrote my prediction I had not yet seen the Rubio-robot meme take off and dominate the news cycle.

I think it would come out like this:

The New Hampshire primary tomorrow should be interesting.
As I often say, wherever you have large stakes, an opportunity for wrong-doing, and a small risk of getting caught, wrong-doing happens. That’s a universal law of human awfulness. When humans CAN cheat, they do. Or at least enough of them do.

If you have a life, and you missed the GOP debate on Saturday night, let me give you the highlights.
0 CommentsTrump offered to build a ballroom for the White House. I assume he will use an adjoining room for the rest of his body.
That is all. Have a good weekend.

In this thought experiment you’re a citizen of the United States and a patriot. You were born in America and you served with honor in the military. But you don’t like pledges. It feels too brainwashy. So in a demonstration of free speech, you sit it out.
How does that go over with the rest of the crowd?
0 CommentsI mentioned recently that my 2004 book, The Religion War, featured a leader named Cruz rising in the United States and bringing a war of annihilation to the Caliphate. Now we have candidate Ted Cruz doing well in the polls and stating his intentions to annihilate ISIS. Obviously that is a coincidence, but a fun one.
But where I went wrong was the first name. My character in the book was named Horatio Cruz, not Ted Cruz.
Now watch this video of 18-year old Ted Cruz talking about wanting to play a character named Horatio. It happens in the first 30 seconds.
Yeah, spooky.
It’s still a coincidence, but a fun one.
0 CommentsI got a lot of scorn this week for declaring Iowa a rigged election based on the vote totals alone, and no real evidence. Strangers on the Internet called me pathetic, desperate, and a few other words.
0 CommentsIn my experience on this planet, anything that is both important and corruptible (without detection) is already corrupted. Athletes are using performance-enhancing drugs, politicians are using dirty tricks, hedge funds are using insider information, and so on. It’s a universal truth. I doubt you could find anything in our world that is both important and corruptible yet isn’t already corrupted.
