The imagination of our time: seven books
Submitted by Cassiodorus on Tue, 03/21/2017 - 1:44pmIn a recent diary I suggested that the way out of our current political dilemma can be found through the ongoing use of our collective political imagination, and that our main problem of our era was the mobilization of this imagination.

I don't have a whole lot to say about conversion kits personally, lacking the technical expertise, but hope this short essay generates conversation and information.
If I had the capabilities, I would be working on this now. Got to thinking about conversion kits again after watching this video.

The ongoing farce
Hair Trump watches a lot of TV, we know that from his twitter account.
Hair Trump then goes on twitter and has a meltdown over what he saw on TV.
Hair Trump then gets Sean Spicer to try and clean up his mess, Sean then makes it worse but a whole lot funnier than the original rant.
Is the table being set to impeach Trump?
Submitted by HenryAWallace on Tue, 03/21/2017 - 10:33amYou all remember Paul Ryan, the VP candidate from 2012 whom Republicans begged to become Speaker of the House.

It's good to see you. Come on in, leave your shoes in the hallway, we've got fire on the stove preparing lunch for later. In the meantime, browse the bookshelves and plunk down on the sofa with one, or pick out some tunes from the music library or come in to the kitchen to help with the cooking. Our special blend of tea is steeping and will be right up.

The Hunt for Red November
Submitted by Pluto's Republic on Mon, 03/20/2017 - 6:09pmBy the simple fact of geography, the United States is the world's most isolated superpower. It is logistically impossible to invade for it is surrounded by oceans and there is nowhere to stage an opposing army. Yet the American people are not consciously aware of their isolated and protected status. They are easily frightened and heavily armed. They reach adulthood with almost no understanding of geopolitics and global economics, or of their unique and privileged place in these systems. These practical matters are not part of their public education.
The United States is not part of the rich and varied interconnected nations and land masses of the historic civilized world, which are concentrated entirely in the Eastern hemisphere. Americans can live a lifetime and never fully understand where they are in the world and what that truly means.
About that infamous "Montenegrin Coup"
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 03/20/2017 - 4:45pmThe first I had heard about this Montenegrin Coup was when Senator McCain accused Senator Paul of "working for Vladimir Putin.” Naturally the questions from Democrats and the news media was a) when did Paul become a traitor, and b) how high should we hang him?
No on asked the more obvious question: what Montenegrin Coup?
