I have been listening to Meghna Chakrabarti - On Point, NPR, KUOW Seattle as I cooked and consumed my dinner here in Paris.
KUOW is a worldwide phenomenon, you know.
I had salmon grilled rare with mushrooms in butter and lime sauce with a mache and tomato salad.
It was good.
Back about 12 years ago I posted about the first time I ever cooked that concoction.
I was in Paris then also.
It was better then.
Appetite - it turns out - is one of the early things to go.
But I wanted to talk about Meghna's show.
It was about the apparent brain injury that results from "intimate partner violence and abuse".
You know, things like slamming her head into the wall, or throwing her of the porch, or strangling her, or punching her into unconsciousness (the victim-pronoun is feminine because men do this stuff, not women; women in those types of relationships don the mantle of guilt for not pleasing their man; the men, it seems need coddling to keep their fragile egos intact).
Meghna asked the authority who she had on point how many women might be wandering around out there with brain injury from partner choking and slamming.
The answer was, best guess from data extrapolation, 31 million.
That answer caused me to go from appalled to analytic.
Politically analytic.
On the assumption that most or all of those brain damaged women had a trump voting abuser - a logical assumption, given donnie's body of work and his recorded public statements - I did a little math.
31 million times two is 62 million.
74 million voted for donnie in 2020.
Now I know where all but 12 million of those votes came from.
