I love this.
By way of background, I have an e-mail screen name that wound up being used
mostly for political mailings, including campaign stuff. Do I have to tell
you what an incredible amount of sludge it draws? I dread even looking at
the list of new posts, and manage to do it periodically only so I can keep
the sludge from piling up. Meaning that when I do attack the mail list, my
mindset is delete, delete, delete.
I still don't know what prompted me to open this particular item. Now I see

It's all right for words to mean what they say
The Arthurian at The Rules of Exposition - 10 minutes ago
Eudora Welty:
It's *all right*, I want to say to the students who write to me, for things
to be what they appear to be, for words to mean what they say. It's all
right too for words and appearances to mean more than one thing — ambiguity
is a fact of life. But it is not all right, not in good faith, for things
not to mean what they say.

“One might think that by now even Americans would have caught on to the
constant stream of false alarms that Washington sounds in order to deceive
the people into supporting its hidden agendas.
The public fell for the lie that the Taliban in Afghanistan are terrorists
allied with al Qaeda. Americans fought a war for 13 years that enriched

another Washington failure.

Once again my friend Michael Collins has researched the situation in Ukraine, exposing Obama's lies by digging out materials published in U.S. newspapers and journals. Russian President Putin has won, but not by use of military force. Rather he held back his troops while offering to negotiate, a gesture that Obama not only ignored but falsely asserted that Russian troops were attacking. In the meantime, the Russian speakers of the eastern provinces of Lugansk and Donetsk repelled the entire Ukrainian army following its vicious shelling of civilian homes, stores, and factories. So Obama has now quietly dropped his failed Ukraine adventure in favor of the pointless bombing of ISIS.

First there was Conservative MP Brooks Newmark being forced to resign over
some lewd photos he sent to an undercover reporter at the *Sunday Mirror*,
which (along with the defection of Mark Reckless to UKIP) is,
understandably, dominating the headlines of pretty much every media

Then came the *Mail on Sunday*'s exposé of a leading Catholic bishop for

[image: F-35A Lightning II]Lockheed Martin Corp said it will buy a
European-built military communications satellite for South Korea as part of
a $7 billion deal to supply Seoul with 40 F-35 fighter jets, in what

Lockheed, which builds its own satellites, declined to detail the cost of
the new satellite or name its manufacturer, but said the spacecraft would
