There
are monsters in the world, mostly of
our creation.
Liar,
Liar, Pants On Fire:
“I
am delighted to be with you today...
the
economy has registered considerable
progress over the past several years toward ... maximum
employment and price stability, and there are good reasons to expect
that we will advance further toward those goals.” Happy
talk, signifying nothing from the head Fed.
Noted:
Business investment has been down for the last two quarters. This
typically happens only in recessions. Just say'n.
Stops
The Pain:
Turns out that acetaminophen (Tylenol) will not only damage your
liver, it'll damage your concern for the living. Studies show that
“just two tablets” reduces people’s
empathy for the pain of others. This,
on top of the previously documented decline
in the “positive emotions” of those taking it and, of course,
the liver damage, makes you wonder why it's recommended by anyone for
anything…
Pick
A Door, Any Door:
Unless unicorns come into Independence Hall and start ringing
the Liberty Bell, we'll face having either Hillary Clinton or
Donald Trump as the world's next Supreme Ruler. Anybody actually
want that?
Spoilsports:
Morgan
Stanley says
there is a 5% chance the S&P will rise and a 27% chance it'll
decline. No one used the word crash.
Once
More, With Feeling:
The labor unrest in France – and France really knows how to do
labor unrest – is beginning to look like revisiting the…
disturbances?... of 1968. Maybe
it'll spread.
Correction:
This headline is one word too long: “Brexit
forecasters miss everything that matters to real voters.” Which
word should be deleted?
Hyphenated
Americans:
Trump continues to complain that Indiana-American Federal Judge
Gonzalo Curiel is biased against crooks and con men. So? I'm a New
York-American and don't like 'em either.
Inclusion:
Bill says Bernie's supporters “will be toast” if
they don't seek absolution and forgiveness of their sins and quit
talking about all the money He and She have gotten from dictators..
Revolting
Development:
If the Sanders people are able to
bring
about
a
floor
vote on a rules
change requiring superdelegates to support
for the candidate who won their state’s primary or caucus,
it would act as a referendum
on the Clinton candidacy on
the convention floor.
Then
things could get interesting.

If nothing else Tylenol has been very good for Johnson & Johnson's bottom line and as any capitalist will tell you, screw the rest!
It is beginning to look like the die is cast for the upcoming election and there isn't a thing we can do about it.
I'm still calling for a strike by EVERYBODY, Freedom has never been free and while the frail suffer the most in times of crisis: the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Better to die on your feet than live on your knees.
There never was anything you could do about it, George. The process was rigged from the very start. All that remains is for good fauxgressives and wingnuts everywhere to fall obediently into line.
