Chet Raymo, “The Fire In The Head”
*“The Fire In The Head”* by Chet Raymo “I've been here in the Dingle Peninsula of Ireland now for two months. During that time I have drifted 4 millimeters farther from my primary home in Massachusetts. Four millimeters, about the thickness of the flashdrive of my computer. The Atlantic widens. Europe and North America drift apart. Out there on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge lava oozes up from below and fills the cracks where the crust is ripped and pulled asunder. Four millimeters. Not something you'd notice, not in a summer, not in a lifetime. But run the film in reverse and in 200 millio... more »

"The Case Against Hope"
"The Case Against Hope" by Buddha of Hollywood "I was trying to define “worry” and “hope” and it occurred to me that they are brother and sister emotions. Both “worry” and “hope” are unfounded expectations; one that things will get worse and the other that things will get better – some how. And both “worry” and “hope” have the same hypnotic power to paralyze action. I remember growing up under the communist rule. Life was really hard; things were pretty bad and getting worse every day. It can’t get worse than this –people were saying – it is bound to get better. But things never go... more »
"You Have Been My Friend..."
"You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what’s a life, anyway? We’re born, we live a little while, we die. A spider’s life can’t help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that." - E.B. White, in "Charlotte’s Web"
Should Former U.S. Officials Be Permitted To Keep Theis Security Clearances?
* Stephen Collinson, CNN*:* Trump moves to silence critics * Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's latest gambit to choke off the flow of information for past spy chiefs who have criticized him is a disturbing move that again exposes an imperious streak out of place in American democracy. The President's threat to rip security clearances from some of the nation's most decorated former intelligence officials may turn out to be a classic Trumpian distraction play that whips up a media storm and drowns out stories that are damaging to the White House. But the idea that it is be... more »

Ronald Reagan once explained the philosophy of modern government being "if it moves, tax it; if it keeps moving, regulate it; if it stops moving, subsidise it."

To "ease the pain" of Trump's trade war, which has bitten everywhere but most painfully (electorally) in the pockets of the mid-western voting classes, the economic genius has announced US$12 billion of subsidies to American farmers. So as eloquently summarised by Mikel Jollett, *A president who knows nothing about economics started a trade war ... more »

You might have to pay a late fee, or negotiate a loan deferment, but usually a company would not repossess your car until after two or even three consecutive skipped payments.

What Excuse Will They Use This Time To Keep Barbara Lee Out Of The House Democratic Leadership?
Yesterday, Barbara Lee (D-CA) announced she's running for House Democratic caucus chair, the job Joe Crowley thought was the job that would catapult him into the Speakership.

He also noted, however, that *Webster v. Doe*, opened the door slightly to procedural constitutional due process claims relating to those determinations. By sheer coincidence, today the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued a decision in a... more »
