I apologize for the light posting. It’s my busy time as I’m trying to get the new issue of the Washington Monthly converted to digital form so we can share it with you online Monday morning. I’m also fighting off the flu and need a new word beside “exhaustion” to describe how I’m feeling physically. Last night, for the first time ever, I had to pull over and let CabinGirl drive because I was at real risk of just nodding off. A full night of sleep didn’t really help.
It’s been a rough couple of weeks.
Wrap up your paying gig and shut it down until you feel better. We’ll still be here. You need to recharge & recover a bit after everything that’s happened.
Take care of yourself, man.
Keystone Pipeline rejected
More smart politics by this POTUS. He waits for super low oil prices and an excellent job report before cancelling the pipeline, which cuts the legs out from under those arguing for it. We don’t need it, AND it’s bad for the environment.
Take time and regroup. You’ve had so much to deal with that I’m not surprised that you’re exhausted. Please get some rest and come back when you feel able.
I found this on Buzzfeed and it cheered me up immensely.

Our President is a good man.
Looks like tonight’s Dem get together is merely a forum, not a debate. No chance to mix it up.
I’m hoping Rachel M will ask each what they think of Dr Ben’s pyramid theory, and whether they too have any unorthodox views regarding the mysterious structures. I’ll be endorsing any candidate who expresses skepticism about the official story.
On less important matters, I want to see them grilled about Syria, how to deal w ISIS, and the New Cold War w Russia.
And Dr. Ben’s fabrication of admission and full scholarship to West Point. (Although his claim of a “full scholarship” should have been a tip off that he had made it up.)
The West Point lie, ongoing lie, could finally be the one that causes the Ben Bubble to burst. I hope so. The list of lies is getting longer, as the CorpMedia finally have gotten around to checking him out.
This guy strikes me as far worse than the typical pol trimming the truth. The biblical wackiness and ignorance would be a direct threat to democracy, as Boo noted the other day. And that’s aside from his stupid pyramid theory …
He’s hit the trifecta: nutso notion of pyramids (that he claimed as his own “theory), fabricated meeting with Gen Westmoreland and admission to West Point, and worst ever (IMO) radio political ad.
Not sure how Jesus/prayer rescued him from his violent acts towards others if those events never happened, but it’s possible that he fantasized bashing heads in with a hammer, etc., and prayed to be relieved of his violent fantasies and god took those thoughts away forever. “Poetic license” for that knife stabbing scene in Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story. (Surely I’m not the only person that never heard of this guy before 2015.)
Taking care of yourself is the first priority. Everything else will wait. We’re not going anywhere.
