Why Trump Defied the Polls

Last updated on: November 8, 2016 at 11:32 pm By Coleman Glenn

This is not a political blog, and I am not an expert in politics. That’s why I didn’t post the following when I wrote it five days ago. Now that it actually seems to be happening, I’m posting in case it can give any insight into how the polls could have gotten things so wrong. I doubt it explains everything, and maybe it’s off-base, but thought I’d put it out there in case anyone finds it useful: Why Trump Will... Read more

Shock and Blessings

Last updated on: April 29, 2016 at 3:32 am By Coleman Glenn

My wife is amazing. In the face of her cancer diagnosis a week and a half ago (could it possibly just have been a week and a half ago?), she has embraced life, and walked with courage and faith. And she’s also cried and felt exhausted and been real and open and honest. Look at that picture: arms open, loving life, just days after hearing the bad news. I love this woman. Here’s an excerpt from a recent blog post... Read more
