For people who have lived their entire adult lives on antidepressant medication, it is difficult to have any baseline to judge their normal behavior and personality. Antidepressants mess with you in all sorts of weird and unexpected ways, and without that baseline it is often impossible to know if certain feelings and behaviors are innate or are the effect of drug interactions that no one really understands.

The opening of their new T5 airport terminal at Heathrow, Europe’s biggest airport, has been a huge disaster.

She has been getting consistently better results among older voters, Hispanics, and women, constituencies that are more important in the general election than young people and black voters.

She’s also a fighter, and very willing to go negative which, while divisive and undesirable, is often a good way to win elections. At the end of the day, straight electability trumps hope in my book, as much as I think he is the more inspiring candidate.
