Am I the Thrower, or the One Being Thrown?

Referring to a hexagram in the I-Ching - 59. Dissolution. 4th line changing. According to my quick ref online I-Ching, facade.com:

The fourth line, divided, shows its subject scattering the different parties in the state, which leads to great good fortune. From the dispersion he collects again good men standing out, a crowd like a mound, which is what ordinary men would not have thought of.

Too soon?

What a crazy few weeks we've had since the CA primary. It's seemed like our political world has collapsed around us. The urgency of politically based solutions to so many dire problems like climate change, energy independence, financial industry instability throughout the US and the world, endless war in our name, jobs or rather the lack of stable, adequately paying ones, feeding and housing everyone, and on and on hasn't lessened. The problems are still there.

DO NOT TRY TO HAVE A DNC 2016 DRINKING GAME

WITH THE FOLLOWING RULES

Drink when:

1) someone says "...Hillary understands..."

2) someone says "...defeat Trump..."

3) someone says "...the most important election...."

4) someone says "...build a wall..."

5) someone says "...first female president..."

You will die of alcohol poisoning before the evening is over.

Jane Sanders Interview with Rolling Stone

I don't have much to say...it's worth reading, as usual. Jane has impressed the heck out of me this last year...especially over the Oak Flat deal (our little local hell that we had been fighting against with little success until she heard about it.) She gives a lot clearer picture in this interview than any of the speculation we have all been reading for the last couple months. They are not giving up the fight...even though they are not taking it the same direction most of us are.

Cat Video Montage by ec.jpg

Welcome to Video News! My apologies for no official DNC video news open thread yesterday. But Oreo the Diabetic Pootie had a crisis at 3 AM yesterday, so Ginger and I were up half the night. Oreo and Ginger seem to have recovered in full, so we have resumed normal function.

i'd just like to state my freelings

i don't like me some clintons. that's been borne out by my four posts here on the internet about how i completely don't like me some clintons over the last four days.

but seriously, if we expect to hop over to the adult table, we'll pretty much have to vote for clinton

clinton is the smartestest, bestest smelling, most female candidate we have. and i say that as an utter misogynist.
