Reports coming out of the Virginia Green Party say that the state has verified enough signatures to get Jill Stein on the ballot there. The announcement will come Monday.

This provides direct access to another 13 electoral college votes, bringing her ballot (non-write-in) access to 451 electoral votes nationwide--she is on the ballot now in 38 states plus Washington D.C.

Also, two days ago the Geen Party of Wyoming submitted signatures to get Stein on the ballot there.

Hillary, thy name is Hypocrisy. And Double Standards and Holier Than Thou. Among many others.

Dollar General Corp. and Dollar Tree Inc., the retailer of the working poor, reported disappointing earning this week. That isn't interesting. What was interesting was the reason they gave for the big miss.

John Howie is chef and owner of Seastar Restaurant and Raw Bar in Seattle and a few other restaurants, including a concession at CenturyLink Field, where the Seahawks play.

After it was disclosed on Monday that Seahawks QB Russell Wilson and his fiance, the singer Ciara had moved their wedding out of North Carolina because of HB2, a reporter uncovered the fact that the Chef had donated $1000 to the Washington transgender hate group Just Want Privacy, which failed to qualify a similar law for the November ballot.

Dr. Jill Stein was interviewed on PBS the other day...sort of.

A key chunk of the Green Party presidential candidate’s recent 15-minute interview with anchor Judy Woodruff on the PBS News Hour was apparently left on the cutting room floor. The section of the interview contained Stein’s criticism of Democrat rival Hillary Clinton.

I propose the following:

Option A:

I get to write about this one because TMC doesn't think the headline is strong enough. While we are not prudes here, her proposal would make a sailor blush and I'm not sure how to transcribe the scream of rage that punctuates the end.

Also I have EpiPens, at her suggestion. I have a pretty serious allergy to Bell Peppers, Red, Yellow, Green, and otherwise. I happened to tell her the story of how I was DJing at one of my club's social functions and they served Potatoes O'Brien. What makes them O'Brien and not just greasy chunks of crunchy fried potato is that they add some diced Red and Green Bell Peppers. The entree was 2 paper thin slices of Roast Beef smothered in gravy to disguise the fact that it was mostly gristle and fat and the sides were an over boiled Broccoli/Cauliflower medly and the aforementioned Potatoes O'Brien.

I worked through lunch (I had other duties you know) and I was starving. Even though I knew it was probably a bad idea I scraped off the Peppers and ate the potatoes.

Soon enough I had a raging headache and my partner said, "ek, you don't look so good. Your face is as red as a radish. You'd better lie down for a while." So I did. I passed out for about 3 hours and when I woke up I didn't feel great but I could function. My poor friend had been single handing it the whole time which is not as easy as it sounds so I helped him finish up and break down the system.

Bernie inspired millions of Americans with the enlightenment about the corruptocracy. People got enthused like never before. He seemed to be steering the Ship of State away from the giant iceberg, which Hillary's Titanic was sailing toward. Well, TPTB punched many holes in the S.S. Sanders so that it began to sink--even though it was heading away from the iceberg. What happened to Bernie caused by his near-drowning experience?
