Chris Matthews and Bill Maher confident they have witnessed the beginning of the end of Donald Trump's campaign to be President of the United States (the heckler's Muslim question thing).

Have these people ever even heard of the Gospels, much less actually read them?
I guess there was that flight to Egypt when he was a baby.
But after a while, the family came back home, and after that he was a local boy.
I suppose, being Galilean, his being in Judea could be considered invasive... at a stretch...

Semper In Stercus: There is also that element (I think) of the universal reflexive compulsion to 'excuse Islam first' - the Islam Is A Religion Of Peace Syndrome....
I was just thinking a little while ago about GW Bush standing with Muz Brohood guys to reassure us it wasn't about Islam. That's where post-9/11 headed off the rails.
On Monday, September 14, unknown suspects cut backbone fiber optic Internet cables in Livermore California in what appears to be the fourteenth attack on critical communications infrastructure in a region of the U.S. that is a primary target for economic and cyber warfare.

Regurgitating m'self from late in the morning thread:
So, what if we get two third parties - uh, third and fourth?
Ready for a Hillary-Jeb!-Trump-Sanders race? Wheee!
Hillary: I mean, look, I am a real person
That may look like a simple statement, but programming the HillBot2016 to say it took hours of coding. Lots of kludges, patches, and workarounds required.

Oh, good, I love starting the day with a treasure hunt.
At least when the EMT gets posted late, it looks like I got here early, from the low comment count.
Morning, Glories!
Back after perusing VNN... if I survive...
Smallish Bees: fooling around with umlauts? I wonder at my priorities.
#ÜmlautLivesMatter!
Smallish Bees: Drat, my U-umlaut didn't survive Pixy.
It's just hiding.
Previously, I found that setting the page encoding (in Opera browser) to Western Windows-1252 showed the intended characters instead of black diamonds.
Today's test shows that Western US ASCII also works to show the characters.
But the blog rejects comments posted at either of those settings. Seems to demand UTF-8 for posting.
You can do umlauts & stuff and have them show up only with &-#-number-; codes.

Me: fix mine, too
OMuse: Done.
Ha! I was just kidding, y'know. Color me impressed.
OregonMuse: Argh. Thank you, I've made corrections.
In all fairness could you fix mine, too, since I cut'n'pasted from your post? 
Putting a semi-colon in one's signature causes the cookie to be mis-set. The Email address field comes back blanked, while the Name field loses everything after the semi-colon, but appends some email code.

...there is scarcely any hiding place from the constant visual and verbal assault on the mind...
As I sit here in the quiet of the morning, no connections to broadcast media save the radio which is usually off, I realize, wow, I really am assaulted constantly, because, I stay tuned to AoS!
I should confine myself to Will S's Sunny Side blog! And maybe Engrish.com. Well, and, the book thread here, of course.
Seriously, when this old hermit goes out in The World, I'm reminded, and re-astounded, that people put up with the constant assault of the LaughingStock Media. But then, some people even start the day turning on the TV at home and it stays on all day. Brainwashing you bet! The effect is like being on speed - deep, reflective thinking not encouraged.
Even having a bunch of games on at a sports themed place is mind-boggling (mostly by how little actual sports action there is).
When I see a TV ad for a restaurant, while I'm sitting in a restaurant, I always say,* "Oh! _____'s! That's where we should have gone!" (*But not too loudly.)
It's like people leaving their doors open for every mosquito, vagrant, salesman, and imam to just walk right in and set up shop.
Lock your doors!

So, having run out of all the artwork in the world, the blog is reduced to stealing from the blog. Art re-runs already!

Read the early morning thread in the time it took comments here to go from low forties to high nineties. I think the temperature did the same.

Ehrlich praising Mann is like Rather praising Brian Williams. OMuse wrote, "amazing to me how much Ehrlich's review is just standard-issue progtard boilerplate insults" - that's basically what I was thinking as I read him. Just vacuous ad hominem. Nothing was more revealing of the projection inherent in this kind of thinking than this: "there is no certainty in science, unlike in the world of denial propogandists" - exactly backwards.
"His solution was de-industrialization, capital de-accumulation, lowering of productivity and hence lowering of real wages...." Take that to its (I won't say logical) conclusion and where does it lead? I'll tell you. My son followed some links provided by a Bernie commie, and ended up at the Human Extinction site. It's self-hatred, really.
Probably Daddy issues.

L, Elle: I am such a failed messenger and worker. Someone else should be doing this work. Someone good and strong.
One day at a time. One hour at a time. One moment at a time. Count your blessings, as you find them, and be grateful. Focus on those bright spots and good times. From this draw your strength.
If you have been called upon, you will persevere.
Mark 9.21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
Oh, for the luvva...

L, elle, I pray your relief from the worry, aggrevation, and distress will be swift, and relief from the causes be soon, I pray. And, dear Lord, make her lawyer worthy.
