The Poet: Theodore Roethke, "In a Dark Time"
*"In a Dark Time"* "In a dark time, the eye begins to see, I meet my shadow in the deepening shade; I hear my echo in the echoing wood- A lord of nature weeping to a tree. I live between the heron and the wren, Beasts of the hill and serpents of the den. What’s madness but nobility of soul At odds with circumstance? The day’s on fire! I know the purity of pure despair, My shadow pinned against a sweating wall. That place among the rocks - is it a cave, Or winding path? The edge is what I have. A steady storm of correspondences! A night flowing with birds, a ragged moon, And in broad day... read more

“7 Best Shakespeare Insults”
*“7 Best Shakespeare Insults”* by The Huffington Post "You should be women and yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so." Shakespeare employs this biting insult in "Macbeth" to establish the complete and utter repulsiveness of the three witches. Their "withered and wild" features cause Macbeth and Banquo to question if the sisters are even human beings. "Methinks thou art a general offence, and every man should beat thee. I think thou wast created for men to breathe themselves upon you." In "All's Well That Ends Well," Lafeu hits infamous liar and coward Porolles with... read more

BBC Disinformation
Away from the BBC, we read today in the *South Wales Argus* that a fire in March at a mosque initially treated as a hate crime by police was started by a desperate drug user cooking up heroin. *Wales Online* adds that the hapless dope 'likely had no idea the lean-to type kitchen belonged to the mosque'. Can you guess how the BBC reported this back in March though? Note the irresponsible lack of quotation marks around 'deliberate' in that headline. read more

The Science Of The Midday Siesta - Why Heat Makes Us SleepyIf you get sleepy in the middle of hot days, you are not alone. You are not even alone in the animal kingdom. Biology may be behind it. We know that many people have a harder time sleeping in the summer and be slow to get out of bed on colder mornings and new study hopes to connect sensory neurons and neurons that control this cycle. The work is only in fruit flies, so it goes in the exploratory pile despite the hyper-coverage such studies get in corporate media, but they found that fruit flies are pre-programmed to take a nap in the middle of the day.

PA: Doug Mastriano Wants To Cut This Much From Your School's Budget
Gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano has some thoughts on many topics, but some of his most alarming thoughts are about education. Many have wrestled with the issue of funding public education through real estate taxes. Mastriano has a solution: Cut all real estate taxes and replace them with--nothing. There are some issues not making it into the fine print. Mastriano has said that he wants to cut per-pupil funding in half. Since real estate taxes represent more than half the funding for most PA districts, it's not clear how we would get there. Presumably increased state revenu... read more

Did Obama take 30 million documents?The headlines of the anti-Trump fact checkers are that Trump lied about Obama taking 30 million documents with him when he left the WH. But when you read the article it says yes, Obama took tens of thousands of documents to Chicago, BUT they go on to say they then went to possession of federal government archives after sorting to be digitized and made available to the public. In other words, Trump was right again and this is a word war with fact checkers. Really, you can't trust these checkers whether in print on paper or pixels on your screens.
