I do know that as I’ve gotten older I can doze for short moments like that. It happened while reading just last night. It was definitely more than blinking. It’s really odd to criticize hyperbolic language and than rely on it yourself to make your point. I’m no fan of sensationalist headlines, but it’s kind of odd to have a President who can’t seem to keep his eyes open at as press conference. I’m thankful for the post but agree the title is misleading.
