A random mental walk.

The incomprehensible is just perfect

The mud line on the Doonesbury strip quoted James Parker's piece in the November 3rd Book Review section on Donald Trump's opinions (www.nytimes.com/2015/11/08/books/review/is-legitimate-satire-necessarily-directed-at-the-powerful.html):

Trump’s opinions — which I don’t believe are ­really opinions at all, but random clots and thrombi of rhetorical ectoplasm gathered from the ether with high-end paranormal pooper-scoopers.
Much like Ball's description of Trump as a gap in the space-time continuum, the statement forms a nice companion or parallel to the phenominon of the Trump campaign.

I look forward to the Iowa vote to see how reality as represented by physical votes matches the polls and surveys.  If a sizeable percentage of Republican voters believe that the President is a Muslim and a smaller, but statistically signiicant percentage of adults, still believe that Obama was born in Kenya it is hard to make a reasonable prediction.

I see only two courses of action: relax and laugh or relax and cry.
