New Kid on the Block

(Cross-posted at TPW, too)

Ever wonder why gas stations and fast food restaurants seem to congregate on the same intersections? Because while they're competitors, they're still working together. My business is in a large building and we do a lot of cross promoting between similar businesses in both our building and the surrounding areas. We have our similarities and our differences and we share resources and find ways to work cooperatively.

Counterpunch's Sanders statement which is difficult to rebut. An invitation to do so

Submitted by Alligator Ed on Sun, 07/17/2016 - 5:54am

Bernie Sanders has been preoccupied with convincing his followers that the Democratic Party platform is relevant, by performing his new role in the Kabuki theatre of the corporate Democrats. He is too busy acting out a supposedly important public debate over the irrelevant platform to get involved in this real and personal “servergate” example of impunity for plutocrats.

Another Essay on the Dilemmas of Lesser-Evil Voting

Submitted by Cassiodorus on Sat, 07/16/2016 - 7:52pm

The list I created of Important dates in history for lesser-of-two-evils voters was meant largely as an effort to name the lesser evil as an evil consequence of lesser-of-two-evils voting. I've noted that all efforts to portray Hillary Rodham Clinton as a "lesser-of-two-evils" candidate fail to give a thorough examination of the evil of the candidate they're promoting.

in the rear view mirror. Bags packed, ready for a ride to the airport tomorrow. some observations...
The BLM protest (or whatever that was) failed.
A lady conference goer (and Guvmint worker) from Memphis said, "the reason Hillary Rotten Clinton used her own Server / Email was and is that the guvmint's system is about a hundred fucking years old - and she wanted something that worked." I buy it, and think that's the end of EmailGate. Or should be.

#BLM in Kearney, NE

Submitted by PriceRip on Sat, 07/16/2016 - 3:47pm

          Today at 2 PM CDT a rally occurred in front of the Kearney City Hall. Shortly after the speeches ended three #WhiteLivesMatter guys handed out bottles of water as they cheerfully walked by our rather small group.
          I had a nice chat with Sergeant Kyle Harshbarger, and a good time was had by all.
