Colin Kaepernick's decision to simply take a knee during the National Anthem to protest police violence caused much wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth by people who lack the ability to determine what is important in life.
Well, now those people have a whole new reason to throw a fit.
Let's see, I've only got 4 weeks and I haven't settled how I'm going to vote for President of the United States of Amerika. The Empire. Rama lama ding dong.

During my time on this Earth I've learned that the things the news media ignores are the most significant.
Trump is an odious sack of shit. How the hell the Republicans and their supporters elected this turd sandwich I will never be able to fully comprehend. Ignorant, petty and spoilt are his finest qualities, rightfully he should lose this election in a landslide.

And so began America's Longest War - by far - with no end in sight.
Harrison Browne is called Brownie by his Buffalo Beauts teammates in the National Women's Hockey League.

As usual, I am quivering with frustration at the way Hurricane Matthew is being covered. In hurricanes, most lives are lost from STORM SURGE, not wind damage. The Categories 1,2,3, etc. are important for their winds speeds, both for immediate damage, but more importantly by how much force water is being pushed into inlets, bays, rivers, etc.
