RPG—1933-2020 3 comments
It’s up to us to keep moving her values forward and not take this country
back to the 1950s. If you know your history, then you know what I mean. So
many people have benefited from this woman being on the Supreme Court,
especially women. We have lost a giant of a woman!

Recently, Joy received a Bookmans gift card. Bookmans is more than just a bookstore, it’s an entertainment exchange with a commitment to the people and communities they have served for over forty years. While there, I selected three books: Epitaph for a Desert Anarchist — The Life and Legacy of Edward Abbey by James Bishop; The River of Doubt by Candie Millard; Spanish Essentials for Dummies, the last two in preparation for my August trip to the Amazon in northern Bolivia. — kenne

When It Comes To Politics And The Truth, We Live In A World Of Fractions . . . Leave a comment
Source: David Fitzsimmons Copyright 2012 Cagle Cartoons
When it comes to politics and the truth, we live in a world of fractions. Most of what we hear is a best a half-truths, but generally a flat-out lie. Most of us have learned that there are three things we take as an article of faith: “The sky is blue. The pope is Catholic. And Politicians are liars.” And true to the faith, the lies were flying left and right at last night’s presidential debate.
It’s bad enough that Politian’s have learned that lying can work to their benefit, what is worse is that the American people know they are being lied to, but accept it if it’s what they want to hear. We may know it’s bullshit, but since each of us contributes our own share, there is a tendency to take it for granted – still bitch about it, while knowing that deceptive misrepresentation is fundamental to our culture. It is so much a part of our culture that we joke about it, generating nervous laughter. One case in point is the video clip of George Carlin talking to the press about “Lying Politicians and Words.” The next time you watch a political debate, listen for Carlin’s words.

“The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post ‘Thou shalt not steal,’ ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery,’ and ‘Thou shalt not lie’ in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.”

Maybe bookstores need to become Internet Cafe‘s. Or, Starbuck’s should have a book corner rather than the other way around.

It’s Time For The “Fat Lady” To Sing Leave a comment
Source: cargle.com
It an’t over till the fat lady sings is a colloquialism, essentially meaning that one should not assume the outcome of some activity until it has actually finished. Well, it’s time for the fat lady to sing on Obama’s birth nation. But, just as there are those who believe the north never won the Civil War, there are those who will continue to question the facts.
As noted in The Christian Science Monitor, “Revenge, they say, is a dish best served cold. But President Obama didn’t have to wait long to set out a big helping for Donald Trump at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.”

“Much of the West is now a giant tinderbox, literally ready to combust. Yet thanks to fire suppression, the consequences have been postponed for decades.
“When you look at the long record, you see fire and climate moving together over decades, over centuries, over thousands of years,” said pyrogeographer Jennifer Marlon of Yale University, who earlier this year co-authored a study of long-term fire patterns in the American West.
“Then, when you look at the last century, you see the climate getting warmer and drier, but until the last couple decades the amount of fire was really low. We’ve pushed fire in the opposite direction you’d expect from climate,” Marlon said.
The fire debt is finally coming due.”
