Make Halloween Great Again With The Horror Of Herr Trump!
*-by Noah* Well, THIS was bound to happen. Here’s a splendid opportunity to make Halloween great again. You can do it with the visage of America’s most popular neo-nazi, snatch-grabbing, gay conversion supporting, broom-riding, tax-evading douchebag, Donald J. Trump. No, I don’t mean wearing a mask of America’s newest Charlie Manson. That’s so passé. I mean, why not explore your own artistic abilities and carve out a nice, round, fat pumpkin so it looks just like the Republican Party’s beloved choice to be our President and the leader of the free world? It's a natural! Or, is tha... more »

"The Sleeping Beauty galaxy may appear peaceful at first sight but it is actually tossing and turning. In an unexpected twist, recent observations have shown that the gas in the outer regions of this photogenic spiral is rotating in the opposite direction from all of the stars! Collisions between gas in the inner and outer regions are creating many hot blue stars and pink emission nebula. *Click image for larger size.* The above image was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2001 and released in 2004.

Chet Raymo, “Try To Remember…”
*“Try To Remember…”* by Chet Raymo “In a sleepless hour of the night, I was trying to remember the last name of a person I have known well for more than forty years. When my spouse stirred in her sleep, I asked her. She couldn't remember either. One again I started mentally through the alphabet. "I think it starts with B," I said. Ten minutes later she rolled over and said, "The next letter is R." Bingo! The name popped into my head. Or I should say, "popped out of my head." Because it was in there somewhere, recorded in a tangle of neurons as materially as if it were written on a ... more »
The Syrian War To Free Itself From The Evil US/Israel/NATO Criminal Cabal: This Is Sickening - Russian Media Reports US And Saudi Arabia Sending ISIS Terrorists From Mosul In Iraq To Syria!
I really do not get the stupidity of people sometimes.. I was out and about today doing some errands and I spent part of this morning with my usual group of colleagues and friends at the local Tim Hortons restaurant here in central Canada to discuss what has been happening in Canada and of course around the world.... As usual the topic did turn to "terrorism" and I listened once again as several people at our table were talking about how terrible "ISIS" was and how our Canadian government has to do MORE to fight "terrorism".... I had to bite my tongue so hard, for I have long known t... more »
Mythic vs. Mythical
This one stands as a Litmus Test Shibboleth for all self-identifying Free Thinkers and Men of Science. "*Mythic*" presumes that it may actually exist; "*Mythical*" presumes that it doesn't exist, nor could it possibly have any basis in fact or material realism. *Hence we do not need to look for it, because it won't be there.* Again, I stress "*realism*", over "*reality*", as it explicitly invokes the Thought Crime of *Imagination* and *Creative Reason* ("*Logocentrism*") *I am Logocentric and Proud.*

Footage Of Obama Flashing Erection At Female Reporters Goes Viral
Footage of Barack Obama flashing his erection at female reporters in 2008 has surfaced and is going viral on the internet. The footage, captured by CNN during the 2008 Presidential campaign, shows then Senator Obama on a campaign flight, talking on a cellphone. As he arises from his seat a nearby female reporter catches a glance of something that makes her uncomfortable, sending her squealing to the back of the plane. However, rather than downplay the awkward incident, Obama plays it up. The future President stands up and thrusts out a leg, making sure all of the reporters on the... more »

National Coming Out Day is a good time for folks to come out of closets of all sorts
*by Ken* I realize that National Coming Out Day was yesterday, but as it didn't fall on one of my blogging days, I'm exercising blogorific license to stretch it to a two-day event. Of course the spirit shouldn't be term-limited -- the time for anyone to come out of whatever closet the person may be dwelling in is as soon as he or she is ready, and the time to help prepare everyone else is now, whenever now happens to be. One happy byproduct of the delay in celebrating the day is the opportunity to take note of last night's season premiere of ABC's disarmingly wacky sitcom *The Re... more »
“Don’t act like you own your children”
If there are children who suffer from the poverty of low expectations, there are many others suffering the pain of living out the expectations of their parents, instead of their own. Australian novelist and father of x Vinay Kolhatkar has some timely advice for such parents: “Don’t Act Like You Own Your Children.” *“You don’t own your children.” If those five words were ingrained in us, half the parenting problems in the world, and half the parent-child relationship strains would disappear. “No, I can’t bring them to your wedding, because they are not suitcases or trophies; t... more »
"We May Know..."
"We may know that the work we continue to put off doing will be bad. Worse, however, is the work we never do. A work that's finished is at least finished. It may be poor, but it exists, like the miserable plant in the lone flowerpot of my neighbor who's crippled. That plant is her happiness, and sometimes it's even mine. What I write, bad as it is, may provide some hurt or sad soul a few moments of distraction from something worse. That's enough for me, or it isn't enough, but it serves some purpose, and so it is with all of life." - Fernando Pessoa

Commentaries, Analysis, And Editorials -- October 12, 2016
*Frontline:* *Who’s Who in the Fight Against ISIS?* The global fight against ISIS has been halting and complex since it began in late 2014. The United States has led an international coalition of more than 60 countries against ISIS. Some nations — including the United Kingdom, Australia, France and a handful of regional powers — have helped launch airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, while others have cracked down on the flow of funds and foreign fighters to ISIS. Still others have contributed humanitarian aid, taken in refugees or provided weapons and training to fighters on the ground... more »
Putin To Russians Abroad: ‘Come Home Immediately’
Vladimir Putin has ordered all Russian families with children studying abroad to return home to Russia immediately, as fears grow that the world is on the brink of World War 3. The children are to return to Russia urgently for their own safety, according to a report quoting Putin in media outlet Znak on Tuesday. Russian intelligence sources believe that a major war with the United States is now more likely than it has been for decades. Government and media have warned the people to prepare for nuclear Armegeddon, after the U.S. announced it was “cutting ties” with Russia regardin... more »
WikiLeaks: Clinton Told Wall St. She Is 100% Against Legalizing Cannabis
WikiLeaks has revealed that Hillary Clinton told Goldman Sachs bankers that legalization of marijuana will not happen on her watch. WikiLeaks has been the most important thing that has happened to an election in a long time. We’ve been able to catch glimpses of the real nature of politicians and bureaucrats like never before, and see the state of democracy for what it is: a once mighty oak ravaged by white ants. In Hillary Clinton, we see a figure beholden to Wall St., working diligently to advance the influence of financial corporations over government policy and taxpayer money. H... more »
Child Hospitalized After Eating Bucket Of Maggot-Infested KFC
An Arkansas mother had to take her 5-year-old son to hospital after he ate a bucket of KFC fried chicken infested with maggots. The unnamed woman shared a video of the maggot-infested chicken to the Helena-West Helena Police Department’s Facebook page, the local news station Fox13 reports. She claims that shortly after her son ate some of it he began gagging violently and projectile vomiting, which promoted her to take him the emergency room. She reportedly purchased the meal at a KFC in West Helena, Arkansas located at 789 Sebastian Street, according to Fox13. The video shows mag... more »
Goodbye Bees, Hello Tiny, Winged RoboBees
Following the news bees are now officially an endangered species as “colony collapse disorder” accelerates, a Harvard research team claims they have the solution – robotic honeybees.

The police and military have also planned to use them for surveillance and “data gathering”. Instead of attempting to save the bees by reducing the use of pesticides, revising safety standards for cell phone radiation, or changing our destructive i... more »

Great Moments in Signage
Except in this case, it's not the sign that's so noteworthy but who's holding it up. I guess they're still awaiting Donald Trump's African American to arrive, in the back of the bus, no doubt. In case you're confounded by the teleprompter, the sign says, "Blacks for Trump." Which right now is a very active hashtag on Twitter. There's another active hashtag: #repealthe19th. As I'm sure virtually any woman reading this already knows, that's the constitutional amendment that gave women the right to vote in 1920. So, where did this movement begin?

British Tabloids Go Into WW3 Hysteria Over Unconfirmed Report
An unconfirmed report from a regional Russian news website has driven some British tabloids into a world war three frenzy.

The allegations were based on a claim that Russian officials had been ordered to leave the West their families. RT reports: Based on anonymous sources, it has since been denied by the Kremlin. Still some British media outlets jumped at a chance for a little Russia-bashing exerc... more »

I don’t normally agree with Judith Collins…
I’ve found very little grounds for agreement with Judith Collins over the years, but there’s very little to disagree with in her off-the-cuff remarks to the Police Association's annual conference yesterday, as reported by Radio NZ. “Many of the problems blamed on child poverty can be blamed on parents, Police Minister Judith Collins says.” And that’s true, isn’t it. *Ms Collins was challenged at the Police Association's annual conference in Wellington today by a delegate, who said poverty was making law enforcement harder.* * The delegate said his officers had been very busy ... more »
A Defence of Stop the War
I'm definitely not a fan of the Stop the War Coalition. It has a legion of problems, rooted in a rather reflex anti-imperialism that leaves it open to claims of soft soaping dictators, and providing cover for whosoever incurs the displeasure of the State Department and Whitehall. That said, some of the criticisms thrown at the group over the last couple of days strike me as stupid and disingenuous. Such as Boris Johnson's argument that it should be organising demonstrations outside the Russian embassy against the vile atrocities committed in Aleppo. First things first, Stop the Wa... more »

Oh yes, now I recall...I was speculating that the reason for the sudden trip of Putin to meet Erdogan in Istanbul on October 10/11th was, in part at least, to quell a rumoured second coup attempt against Erdogan. It seems there was also a big Energy convention going on in Istanbul at the time. Lots of reason to have soldiers and security personnel in the streets.

Oct. 12: An angry day
A couple of nights ago, I caught the last scene of the film "A Tale of Two Cities". This is Dickens' view of the French revolution , a view in which the dignified members of the French aristocracy are led to public execution by beheading - while the ignorant poor watch in laughter and jeers. The last man to die in the film is Sydney Carton, a young Englishman who had devoted himself to saving those dignified aristocrats from the ignorant mob. "I go to a far, far better place than I have ever been...." The story is more than a little one-sided. The French aristocracy had long been ... more »

Black market traders said they sold dollars at 15 pounds on Tuesday, down from 14.20-14.25 a week earlier.

"How It Really Is"
Yeah, that's what's so scary...

One example of what some people think the BBC should *not* be doing is showcasing half-baked political stunts by celebrities. Lily Allen was featured on the Victoria Derbyshire programmme this morning. She was filmed in Calais speaking to a 13 year old Afghan boy who is stuck in the jungle and can’t get to the UK. In Catrin Nye’s message-laden report Lily tells the boy: “At three points in your life [the UK] has put you in danger. We bombed your country, put you in the hands of the Taliban, and now put you in danger of risking your life to get into our country.” She continued: ... more »
It's Great To Be Obama
President Obama is feeling so juiced about his the future, he jumped at the chance to guest-edit the November issue of *Wired.* He's feeling so wired that he even turned the word "science" into a verb for the occasion.

Iraq, 9/11 And The Bush Administration
September 11 transformed U.S policy on Iraq. Beforehand, the Bush administration had discussed the country, but the president had set no policy and allowed each agency to follow its own path. After the terrorist attack however, the top officials in the White House from the president on down focused on Iraq almost as much as Al Qaeda. Bush eventually decided that Afghanistan would be the first target on the war on terror, but Iraq would be next. For many in the administration the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon immediately brought Iraq to mind. Five hours after t... more »

New study casts more doubt on data center subsidies
A new report by Good Jobs First confirms what has been long-suspected: Data center megadeals of over $50 million in subsidies create very few jobs at a cost per job that easily exceeds $1 million.

But as they were taking it apart, it blew up, killing two Kurdish fighters in what is believed to be one of the first times the Islamic State has successfully used a drone with exp... more »

In Russia, however, when it gets serious, attention immediately turns to the children. Which is why we read a report in Russian website Znak published Tuesday, according to whi... more »
Retired Russian General's Warning To The West: 'If You Want A Confrontation, You'll Get One Everywhere'
"Everything is changing" says the screen behind news presenter Dmitry Kiselyov *BBC:* *Russia's top spin doctor in nuclear warning* Russian state TV host Dmitry Kiselyov has a reputation for attacking the West. Critics call him the "Kremlin's chief propagandist". And like many other top Russian officials, he is on the Western sanctions blacklist. But the warning he delivered to Washington in last night's edition of his show News of the Week was, even for him, particularly dramatic. "Impudent behaviour" towards Russia may have "nuclear" consequences, he said. "A Russian takes a lo... more »
Trump Knows Words.
*-by Melody* Trump: "I went to an Ivy League school. I'm highly educated. I know words. I have the best words, I have the best, but there is no better word than stupid. Right?” Oh, wait. Hang on there a minute, Mr. Trump. I found a dictionary site that listed your 20 most frequently used words, presented in a slideshow. Why does "stupid" come in at only #19, if it is the best word ever? The slideshow (linked above) gives examples of Trump quotes for the 20 words. This is a good resource for anyone who is having trouble remembering some particularly out of control, dangerous, ... more »

Chet Raymo, "Pigeons"
*"Pigeons"* by Chet Raymo "That old curmudgeon H. L. Mencken wrote: "The most common of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind." Admitting that no one- including this writer- is immune to self-delusion, still it is hard for anyone who respects empirical evidence to argue with Mencken. Half of Americans believe in ghosts. Almost seventy percent believe in angels. More people believe in astrology than express interest in astronomy. Almost anything paranormal- ESP, UFOs, channeling, etc.- is deemed more interesting than ... more »
Getting a Feel for London 1889
My initial Penny Dreadful Cthulhu game was postponed by a week - I had to do some unexpected repair work on our front yard zombies, taking up time I'd planned on doing homework. Real world can be a bit rough sometimes... But hey - check out zombies at the end of this post.While the first game has been delayed a week I do have the first adventure ready - though I might do a bit of refining, map-making, etc. I do have to confess I find Victorian London to be a bit challenging. None of us are British so there's going to be no one going after me on details, but one thing I find intimid... more »
Did Mr. Sniffles Just Pick His Nose Too Aggressively?
Look, I don't want to get anyone in trouble-- and I know from personal experience that Trump is a litigious asshole-- but, without having ever been in the room to see it myself, the Palm Beach doctors who give Trump his fat and "beauty" treatments taught him how to chop up Adderall and snort it. I was sure it was cocaine the night of the first debate too, but they I got the inside scoop about the Adderall. Nonetheless, it's worth mentioning-- in light of the sniffle-fest Sunday's debate turned into-- that actress Carrie Fisher tweeted to her million-plus followers that Trump's a c... more »
Some things we can learn from the new Nobel winners
While not meaning to, the announcement that six Americans won science Nobels this year, all of them immigrants, should suggest something to all thinking people about the benefits from geniuses – and how it relates to thinking about people, especially immigrants, in clumps. (That is, it would suggest this to *thinking* people.) *J. Fraser Stoddart, born in Scotland, credited American openness with bringing top scientists to the country. He added, however, that the American scientific establishment will only remain strong "as long as we don’t enter an era where we turn our back ... more »
The Second Karen Lewis Sellout?
A Chicago teachers' strike that had been advertised for all the blogs to post about did not happen. You need to read George Schmidt at *Substance News* to get the story. A clip: . . . .Despite sometimes emotional defenses of the vote to accept the proposed contract and push the union's members into the deal, by early October 11, as people began studying the eight-page PDF outlining the deal, it was clear that the deal was in trouble. And in the context of the trouble, more and more members were asking by what authority in the union's own laws had the current CTU leadership unilate... more »
Peace Walks Begins
Our group of peace walkers gathered on Indian Island today at noon for lunch along the Penobscot River that the native people who live here are trying to protect despite many obstructions from the state of Maine.

Then at 6:00 pm we held a pot luck supper which was followed by a wonderful and inspiring talk by Native Rights lawyer Sherri Mitchell who grew up on Indian Island. She reminded us that w... more »

“Singing To The Deer”
*“Singing To The Deer”* by Patricia Monaghan “At solstice, the woods were bright in a snowy way, the sky pearl gray above the stately maples and gnarled burr oaks. An Alaskan marooned in the urban Midwest, it took me years to find this nearby patch of relatively undisturbed land where I can sense the power of wildness. Now I go there often, watching the seasons unfold their changeful unchanging patterns in the increasingly familiar forest. I especially like to walk among the sleeping trees in the half-lit silence of winter dawns. The trail I follow winds and twists, new patches of ... more »
The Poet: John O’Donohue, “Draw Alongside The Silence Of Stone”
*“Draw Alongside The Silence Of Stone”* “You have traveled too fast over false ground; Now your soul has come to take you back. Take refuge in your senses, open up To all the small miracles you rushed through. Become inclined to watch the way of rain When it falls slow and free. Imitate the habit of twilight, Taking time to open the well of color That fostered the brightness of day. Draw alongside the silence of stone Until its calmness can claim you.” - John O’Donohue
"Half-dead, We Stand..."
"Time is ungovernable, but grief presents us with a choice: what do we do with the savage energies of bereavement? What do we do with the memory- or in the memory- of the beloved? Some commemorate love with statuary, but behavior, too, is a memorial, as is a well-lived life. In death, there is always the promise of hope. The key is opening, rather than numbing, ourselves to pain. Above all, we must show our children how to celebrate existence in all its beauty, and how to get up after life has knocked us down, time and again. Half-dead, we stand. And together, we salute love.

As you will see below, a brand new survey has found that 69 percent of all Americans have less than $1,000 in savings.

People With Rhesus Negative Blood May Be Aliens
Studies conducted on rhesus negative blood types show that they are missing the key evolutionary gene derived from rhesus monkeys that other humans carry. Theories suggest that people with Rhesus (RH) negative blood may be from outside this world. Others suggest they are fallen angels from the heavens above or they belong to an alien race from somewhere in the vast darkness of space. What is clear is that those who have with Rhesus (RH) negative blood are different and unique. When they donate blood at blood banks, it can be accepted by anyone regardless of their blood type.
