This just arrived in my inbox, and it was so funny I had to share:
We don't know when the billionaires funding the Super PAC for Zephyr's opponent are going to attack. But we know that they will. There's no doubt.
That's why this week Zephyr challenged those secretive hedge fund billionaires to debate. We think they heard us. Check out these headlines:
I am in the process of moving into my new home on Bradbury Street in Medford, Oregon. The Charter tech installed my WiFi a few minutes ago, so of course I named it "Fahrenheit 451". It is of some interest that this is in the local paper:
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has been finalizing its rules for the treatment of transgender people in shelters and the new regulations are scheduled to be released in September.
The new regulations are expected to require homeless shelters that receive federal support to treat transgender people as members of the gender with which they identify.
Transgender women are women regardless of whether they were born male.
If you’re a transgender woman and you walk into a homeless shelter and they treat you like a man, it’s traumatizing. These people are already vulnerable, they’re homeless, they don’t have a job. To face discrimination the entire time they’re there is a real problem.

When Hillary Clinton decided to run as the third term of Obama she probably didn't anticipate that she would be having to deal with a crisis in Obama's signature piece of legislation.
I've had several requests to have an acronym list here at c99p, on top of many complaints in the comment threads. I personally do not have the time to compile an acronym list and then update it as new ones pop up. I'd like to propose that someone volunteer to start an acronym essay that will be a running alphabetized list of common acronyms used here. A master alphabetized list can be compiled in the essay body and as folks want acronyms added to the list they can mention them in a comment. It would then be up to the essay's author to add them to the master list. I can then add a link to the acronym essay somewhere in the menus.
Any volunteers?
The US is the only major country on this planet that does not view Healthcare as a human right for citizen survival. The ACA is a complete joke on US citizens. (We are not fucking consumers, we are citizens, asshole!) The idea of “affordable” healthcare through over priced health insurance, is nothing short of a bad fucking joke. The linguistic gymnastics has got to stop.
For your information, 2016 is on pace to be the hottest year on record, beating out the last hottest year - 2015.
