We
are far more careful with our money than with our children.
Slip
Sliding
Away:
Conventional wisdom claims that it is bad for the incumbent's party
if the economy weakens in the run-up to the election. Not to rain on
anyone's parade, but we have declining average weekly earnings,
declining auto sales, domestic business investment is in the tank and
even the stock market is unimpressed with the Fed's hemming and
hawing.
One
More: An
unarmed black man whose car had stalled in traffic was killed by
Tulsa police.
Old
News:
The Trump camp brags that occasional outbreaks of violence against
members of the press or protesters adds 'excitement' to the rallies
and besides, they note, violence at Trump's rallies is no longer
‘newsworthy’.
Vive
la France:
France has banned plastic cups , plates and other eating utensils.
When I was last in Paris I saw four street people huddled in a
doorway, sharing a bottle of wine... with mismatched but glass wine
glasses. And the free meals served in the evening in Place
de la République
were served from three different areas, one for each course.
Business
As Usual: Not
only are House Republicans blocking any investigation into Exxon's
decade of funding climate change denial groups while knowing full
well that CO2 would kill us all one day, but they are also
preventing any federal funds from
being spent to address
the Zika epidemic
for fear a few bucks might go to Planned Parenthood in Puerto Rico.
Foggy
War: During
the US sponsored cease fire, the US has bombed Syrian government
troops – killing
80 by accident it says. Meanwhile US-sponsored Syrian militiamen
of the 'Free Syrian Army' chased US Special Forces troops out of the
town of al-Ray calling them 'pigs' and 'crusaders'. Then there are
the 250 US SF troops fighting with the leftist Kurds, who are under
attack by US ally Turkey....
Amber
Alert: A
continental census has found that about 1.5 billion birds are missing
from North America, and that 86 separate species of birds are
endangered by habitat destruction and the effects of climate change.

A curious thing considering Trump & Hillary are both card carrying members of the one percent.
What are people thinking [or are they trying their hardest not to because it hurts their teeny heads?]
With low support for both candidates I believe it's time we try something else.
How about choosing a qualofied leader, a proven problem solver instead of a professional liar?
And put them to work solving problems, not passing legislation nobody wants/needs.
Porn-O...
Well I hope winter will be something besides warm spells and ice storms...
You mean there is another kind? Blasphemy!
