Here’s a really great assessment of Chris Christie by Will Bunch of the Philadelphia Daily News: Christie, Trump, and the 2016 Dog That isn’t Barking.

Reader’s Digest version: Christie got out-Christie’d by Trump. Just don’t read the comments, whatever you do. philly.com readers are barely a few rungs up the evolutionary scale from Freepers.

Fun fact: The Chinese refer to Donald Trump as 唐纳德*特朗普, which is a transliteration of his name: Tang Na De *Te Lang Pu.

Tang is a surname, but it can also mean “to exaggerate,” “empty” or “in vain.”
Na is also a surname, but it can also mean “to receive or accept,” or “to pay (tax).”
De means virtue.
Te means special
Lang means clear or bright
Pu means general, popular or universal.

Make of that what you will.

The U.S. has the largest EEZ in the world, spanning more than 13,000 miles of coastline and containing 3.4 million square nautical miles of ocean, according to Interior Department testimony on the legislation last year.



It’s larger than the combined land area of all 50 states. The EEZ includes waters off U.S. states, and adjacent to other areas, such as Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands.

I’ll try again after the big 70th anniversary celebration in Beijing. The Party is putting on a big show to commemorate the end of the Japanese occupation next month, and the Net Nannies have tightened up censorship of the ‘Net. The big stock market “correction” and that explosion in Tianjin haven’t helped matters, so the censors are also busy trying to keep netizens quiet about those things.

They’ve also clamped down on VPNs within China, so I hope mine will work once I return in a few days.

So, I ammm so tired of trips to all the various builder’s supply stores in my part of the world. I decided that the 2 plug outlet with a LED nightlight built in was a freaking good idea. I find that, in my area, only Menards carries it and it is on sale -YEAH!!!

Make a special trip to get it —get two just in case —and it isn’t the right one for a bathroom. I wanted to put it in the powder room. sigh!

Go back, get two that are rated for bathrooms and decided to go with a different color.

One works fine. I have no place else to use this color, so I have to return the back-up I purchased.

This has been my life for the last 2 months.

Hoping for a lot of rain in September, in a pattern that will douse the fires without floods and mudslides. Noticed a few minutes ago that my house is suddenly smelling like woodsmoke; strong in the dining room, much stronger when I stepped outside. The NOAA smoke maps show Denver is on the edge of a major plume, so am hoping this is my neighbor’s chimenea instead of drift from Idaho.

Lots of beautiful pictures of Denali posted, but I find myself wondering what it looks like today, when the Alaska Interagency Coordination Center shows153 active wildfires.

The Gannett company now specializes in running stupid letters to the editors in their local news outlets across the country. Creationism and the evils of evolution is one of their specialties.

But so is climate denial derp:

Global cooling is next trend on horizon

If you are in full panic mode after reading letters on global warming (“Global warming is a real threat to way of life” Aug. 25 and “Time get on board and slow down warming” Aug. 25), I suggest you now “Bing” global cooling 2015.

You will find results such as “30 top scientists predict global cooling” and “Study predicts decades of global cooling ahead.”

Also, “Rapid global cooling forecast for 2017” and more. If I have a choice between glaciers pushing down through Ohio and losing a little shore line on the coasts I think I’ll take the warmer temps.

In reality, isn’t the real truth about global warming/cooling is that it’s not a man-made phenomenon but rather a function of Earth’s orbit around the sun and cycles that repeat over thousands of years?

The dude can’t tell real reporting from the fake stuff.

Have you heard this? Arguably the first hip-hop. 1968.

Don’t some people consider The Last Poets (1970) to be the first rap album?

I haven’t heard that, I’m reading that it’s a spoken word album. If that’s the case, Pigmeat Markham was the guy who actually accidentally ushered the hip-hop genre, and he beat “The Last Poets” by two years *AND* had a phat musical backbeat over his rhymes.

And all that has what to do with a mountain in Alaska?

Go home, Boehner, you’re (more) drunk (than usual.)

John Boehner had to say that, because Ohioans who don’t like the president were getting their rage on, and those who don’t flatter that anger will be though to be submissive to the president.

Or, he could have said nothing. And I doubt, beyond a few Ohio Republicans in the House, that Ohioans gave a single fuck one way or the other. (I say that having been an Ohioan for 30+ years.)

My god, there’s a gorgeous full moon out tonight.

Also, made it to Walmart for a food run — lost another 6 pounds or so since checking last. Not as much as I have been averaging, but I did snag a pizza a few days back, so there is that.

It’s called sarcasm

re: #332 CuriousLurker

Really? Greta too?

No response besides a down-ding? Is that sarcasm too? //

Now I only have 81,233 positive karma points. My life is over, over I tell you!

Hmmmm. I listened to the album and it struck me at the time as being closer to poetry readings with a musical background than it was to rap. Not very familiar with the genre, more interested in Blues and world music.
