Morning C99ers.

Clooney is gonna be on NBC’s “Meet the Press” this morning. I don't generally watch MtP but I want to hear his excuse for being a Neo-liberal scumbag.

According to Robert Reich via facebook

Last night, George Clooney and his wife Amal hosted a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in San Francisco -- charging couples $353,400 to sit at a table with Hillary and the Clooneys. (They’re throwing another high-dollar fundraising event tonight.)

In an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” taped for Sunday, Clooney was asked if he thought the price of admission to was an “obscene amount of money.” “Yes, I think it’s an obscene amount of money,” Clooney responded. “You know we had some protesters last night when we pulled up in San Francisco – and they’re right to protest, they’re absolutely right, it’s an obscene amount of money. The Sanders campaign, when they talk about it, is absolutely right, it’s ridiculous that we should have this kind of money in politics, I agree.”

I don’t mean to be harsh, but if George Clooney really thinks Bernie is right, and that charging couples $353,400 to have dinner with Hillary Clinton is “obscene,” why are George and his wife doing it?

TOS? AEIOU and sometimes Y said his Peace, and since evaporated. There have been a few others.

I am surprised that they haven't been more disruptive. . . As of yet. That is likely to change, though.

and your kids since moving to Oregon, mate.

It's going to be fun watching the Clinton fundraisers descend into chaos the rest of the way :=)

Have a great day,

the chant "Change your Vote" :=) Too funny. This is how we win.

BTW, I predict that all delegate conventions will produce more Bernie delegates than the percentage he got in the state election. American democracy is a funky thing.

and 99ers. So glad you and the kids are enjoying Oregon, detroitmechworks.

It's been snowing for a couple of days here west of Denver. It melted off nearly as fast as it fell yesterday. But, overnight and this morning more than a foot accumulated. It is still lightly coming down. I am lucky that I have someone dependable who comes over and shovels for me.

Ecuador.

But since the earth started to wobble in its orbit due to the melting glaciers (according to NASA this week), earthquakes are logical. Alaska could be next.

An observed directional change in the planet’s wobble can be attributed to mass redistributions that result from melting ice in Greenland and Antarctica.

It’s worth noting that it’s nothing new for the Earth’s poles to shift around a little bit. Humans have been keeping records of polar shifts since 1899 and, in that time, the North Pole has consistently moved in the direction of Canada. But over the last two decades the vector has changed. Now the pole is slowly creeping towards England.

“The recent shift from the 20th-century direction is very dramatic,” lead author Surendra Adhikari with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab told Phys.org.

In order to account for this observed change, the study authors calculated climate-driven mass redistribution on the planet from 2003-2015, and how they would theoretically impact the polar wobble. And indeed, their reconstruction very closely predicted the change in direction of the polar wander.

I guess that's what they mean by the "tipping point."

Portland is a great place to be, DMW. Good for you.

Don't know how he fit this in his schedule, but AP says Bernie will be on ABC's This Week, and CNN's State of the Union this morning.

Oh, and they've gone from #150 in the US, site-wise, to #236 since kos' edict.

Most important primary of the race, and they are hitting rock bottom. Hard to believe people aren't flocking there to see Hillary astro-turfers write "why I switched to Hillary" diaries, Laurence Lewis' brilliant political mind, and the merry band of meta-losers (Trix, chicago minx, et al).

Here's hoping the bottom keeps getting lower! Hope all here are well! Go Bernie!

I have an MP3 player with an eclectic choice in music. When I'm upset and can't sleep I'll put the music on and soon will fall asleep. The most soothing music comes from Josh Groban, John Barrowman, and the 10th Anniversary version of Les Miserables.

It is really great to hear that you and your children are doing so well in Portland, DMW!

Yesterday was my first Peace vigil of the year here. It ended up being only two of us but we had a really good vigil and talked to a number of people. Our most interesting conversation was with two sixteen year old skate boarder boys. I was really impressed with them. A lot of kids these days really get it, even sixteen year old skateboarding boys!

Beautiful day here. I hope everyone else will have a beautiful day too.
