as big bad Trump is about to burn down their houses. Yes, like the pioneers (read: hostile takeover of native Americans lands) did when attacked by uncivilized yet deadly foes, they circled the wagons to provide mutual protection. Now even Fox Spews is cowering within the enclosure.
There are many excellent articles published daily in this fine c99 community. Most of them are fact-based, logical, relevant to the real-world. But face it people this can get a little heavy at times (or, a lot heavy depending upon your tolerance for such things). In an effort to lighten the load so to speak (load of what you may ask) I shall endeavor from time to time to inject some humor into these serious times (by the way, as many know, I am a professional at giving injections).

Democrats have lost their minds.
Well, Democratic voters have lost their minds.
The Democratic Party leadership, OTOH, knows exactly what it's doing.
The hysterical Russophobia rhetoric has only partly to do with Russia. It's real target is Trump.
Originally found this narrow minded diary on the blog of KentuckyGoodOleBoy. This is the kind of narrow minded, insular thinking we are up against in Trump’s America! Republished word for word though italics are mine.
The Winter Solstice this year is more meaningful than any of the 0ther 79 I have experienced. Having been a Roman Catholic until 21 and then a Born Again Evangelical for many years after that I slowly discovered that it was all fake. Now I see the Pagan influence in every aspect of this season's sham celebration of the birth of Christ.
We need to understand what the liberals already know but are unwilling to admit publicly; liberalism is in a deep crisis. The liberal wing of the ruling class has caught itself on the horns of a dilemma.
On the one hand, the Liberals serve the interests of capitalism, in that sense the shift from Keynesian Liberalism to Neoliberalism comes about due to the economic crisis following the demise of Keynesianism due to stagflation in the 1970s.
Unlike my usual essays, which I actually mull over and let slowly form before putting pen to paper (so to speak).....I am really just putting down some observations today regarding the Circus which has been taking place sine Election Day.
You can reference back to my Prior post-election piece for a more thought-out line of thinking. But for this one, suffice it to say I am just really wondering WTF is going on in the invisible rooms of the Establishment ?
I spent the weeks following this hellection in a frenzy of fevered creation, and wrote 21 fractured fairytales for the Trump era. They're updated, deplorable retellings of the classics. I threw 'em onto Amazon and they're free as an ebook for the next few days, right here: http://amzn.to/2gLGbfs
Such as this little gem I found while bouncing around the intertubes. LOVE his description of Nate Silver.
