Midnight Mulling - Random vs Random v2

To start, a horoscope! Or, an horoscope!

Freedom is a key aspect of life today, (sign name). You might find that your brain wants to break free and pursue more independent ways of thinking. Don't worry if such ways of thinking lead you into unknown territory. This is a sign that this is probably where you need to be. Your witty banter could take a sudden twist that surprises both you and the people you're talking to.

Do we call it Saloon?

For those folks blindly, almost religiously devoted to a horribly flawed, graft, grift, and grime based democratic candidate, should we call it Our Daily Cross?

My Back Pages - Can the US political system deal with climate change?

Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 04/02/2016 - 5:23pm

This was originally published back in November 2014. While some big things have changed in the political landscape since then, a lot of the conditions described are still current. To my mind, there is a big question as to whether the political order, even if there is a change in leadership, can work out the problem of dealing with the powerful forces holding up action to mitigate climate change. Looking ahead, regardless of the outcome of the nearing election, it looks like the people are going to have to lead on this issue or look for a "Planet B."

There are some Democrats and left-leaning to leftist independents around though, and we're pretty strong for Bernie. Our caucuses elected 53 Bernie delegates and 27 for the other Democratic candidate. I've never caucused before, nor have I attended a party convention, so what follows are my first impressions of the process.

When you realize Clinton renders people morally bankrupt

Yesterday at DKOS I posted about Welfare Reform - between 500K and 1 million were going to lose food stamps.

I noted that Welfare Reform was almost never discussed. Two front pagers responded.

Jen Haydon said that they had. I asked for a Link.

MB responded much later and said it had been critiqued. I asked when. His response; "Several Years:

I'm just loving watching people follow the MSMs lead about all things Clinton.

We are talking about one of the most embedded establishment candidates of all time.

Their personal multimillion have come from the most powerful corporations on the planet and most of them as pro-rata thank you notes [that's what speaking tours are].
