Quite the little ray of sunshine, aren't you?

Not with a scope. But given the clarity of the air, it's almost unnecessary. (The clarity is also responsible for the spectacular sunsets.)

I don't spend much time with doctors, but more than a few have become pretty disillusioned with the whole drug company, insurance company, business aspect of providing care. The general perception is that doctors clean up, and perhaps many do, but many also just barely get by after the rents and...

Since Congress refuses to act, it may get them off the dime.

The Elite are trading their plans. Everybody else is playing video games.

I'm just fuckin' with people. I'm in New Mexico. But corn can be planted in succession.

The planting could start earlier here as well. Problem is day length. You can go ahead and plant, but it will all just sit there and look at you like "what?". And the heat is earlier, and worse, so next year will call for some changes. Then there was the grasshopper invasion and they ate all...

White House report details economic case for climate action Because Republicans can't be motivated to think about the future and work to mitigate climate change out of a sense of responsibility, the White House Council of Economic Advisers has another argument for them. Or it would if they...

Another fine contribution from AAA. Keep 'em comin'.

This is going to be an unprecedented campaign year in a few ways, all of which boil down to the obscene amounts of money that outside groups can spend to try to influence the vote in this post-Citizens United world. The New York Times has analyzed data provided by Kantar Media/CMAG through...

So how have the changes in climate affected you? What area of the country are you in (assuming you're US)?

Maybe you'll get lucky and die when Yellowstone blows up. This does prompt a great deal more respect for the peasants who scrabbled their way through the Dark Ages. And they had the Black Death to deal with.

And how is his stance moral?

Unfortunately, whatever people learn doesn't last long. There was a lot of retrenchment in 2008, but how long did that last? Six months? How many of those backyard gardens are still going? We're doomed. The best we can do is go out with a song on our lips (as I posted in another thread, "always...

Whew!

I found this interesting, in a macabre sort of way: Even if a large percentage of the population wanted to survive following a global electronics wipeout, most people have no real-world skills anymore. They don't know how to farm [I do], how to ranch animals [I do], how to grow a garden [I...

I know this is serious but since nobody is going to do a damn thing about it, one might as well have fun with it, too. As Brian sang, "always look on the bright side of life". The news you are about to read should be front page news everywhere. There is arguably nothing more important to...

The jig is up. Damn!

Associated Press Discount stores are slowly dying. Yesterday, Dollar Tree announced it would buy Family Dollar, a chain that is in the process of closing hundreds of stores and firing workers. Other discount stores have been struggling as well, writes Heidi Moore at The Guardian...

Well, if he wanted to be President of the United States, yes. Depends on the experience. Seems they were mostly experienced in saving the asses of the bankers. Not that I see any improvements if Hillary is elected.
