A recounting from Lucy Flores, the 2014 female candidate for the office of Nevada Lt. Governor of her encounter with Joe Biden.
Sit-a-while
on swinging porch
where tin-dippers and
sweet water
in cool touches
meet lips
from hand dug wells.

Good morning good people,
If there is one thing that pisses me off it's being censored, and of course if there's one thing that's becoming more frequent on the internet it's censorship.
I used to read EmptyWheel, a blog run by Marcy Wheeler, she received cred around the time that Valerie Plame was exposed as a CIA agent. I decided her alleged knowledge of how things work, internet-wise and the site's all-on-board for Russiagate position was so off I commented on a few of the things posted. I was immediately hit with a lot of attacks, mostly name-calling and disappearance of comments. No actual real discussions. Okay, maybe I come off too sanctimonious for some, and by pointing out things that the commenters don't know and Wheeler doesn't address I admit I may have come off as a know-it-all.
Evening all. You must be looking forward to the promise of Spring, longer days and warmer temperatures.
What’s been catching your eye?
The flaws in the "spoiler" narrative have a lot of "tells".
And boy, it’s likely be a wild ride, especially as the World is Watching, the West is already interfering in the election, and Ukrainian politics can get pretty er…kinetic, as in how many ‘Rumbles in the Rada’ have we seen post-Maidan?
As of today there are still 39 candidates vying for the job, and euronews.com claims that this piece contains ‘everything you need to understand about key poll’. (Even though it’s manifestly biased against Russia and Yanukovitch who’d ‘fled’ as Maidan Uprsings, etc., but still kinda fun) including their category:
Congress doesn’t give a damn. If they did they would take care to see that public safety is what counts, not the pocketbooks of Boeing and themselves.
After crashes, probers are looking into FAA’s role in crisis
Well finally. Someone finally says what we’ve been thinking all along...
So, it wasn’t just Boeing who l knew there were problems with the poorly designed 737 MAX planes. And nobody in a position of responsibility and authority thought to make sure the “fixes’ that were vital for the safety of those that fly the ‘friendly’ skies were adhered to.
