We're grieving over the Big Lose of Big Cruz, but life must go on!

New from the Sherman Oaks Review of Books:

• A letter from the imaginary editor of the even more imaginary Rancho Cucamonga Review of Books, C.W. (Crinkle Wrap) Charles, in which your correspondent had a collaborative hand
• A follow-up on that infinite number of monkeys that typed Hamlet some time ago—those guys were geniuses, whatever happened to them?
• A heroically individualistic eggplant recipe from the novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand
• And much—some—more!!

"Farewell Cruz", via YouTube. I'm not watching it. Just saying.

Cheap shots and hot pursuits

The worst thing about Donald Trump, per David French at National Review: He encourages feminism.

The masculinity of Trump is exactly the caricatured, counterfeit masculinity of the feminist fever dream. It takes the full energy of manhood and devotes it to sex, money, and power. It’s posturing masquerading as toughness and anger drained of bravery.... he breathes new life into a feminism that is so extreme, so hysterical, that even a majority of women reject it.

That must be pretty darn extreme and hysterical, if even the wimminz are against it.
