Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow.
The shadow is what we think of it;
the tree is the real thing.

Houston Nations I don't have to look at Ronald's profile to tell that he's married.
Ha, ha, ha! This is the funniest reaction I've ever gotten on social media, including all the time I spent on Twitter. Nope, never married, not by conviction but circumstances (workaholic, road warrior, etc.) But I have dated, plus I have a Mom and four little sisters

And as I'm not already pissed off enough about Trump's suggestion that the government steal citizen guns without due process, Trump decided to put tariffs on imported aluminum and steel. Faithful readers know what I'm about to say: protectionism is economic illiterate, anti-consumer (including producers who use these commodities in intermediate or final goods. It's a case of concentrated benefits (domestic producers of these products) and diffuse costs (consumers); it's intrinsically corrupt and will lead to retaliatory responses targeting American products. It's lose-lose economics: why do you think the stock market tanked in the aftermath if Trump's actions "made the economy great again?" Nobody, not even Democrats except from union workers for protected industries, thinks this is a good idea.
