Just A Few Days Until The Erection

Uh-oh - Pantsuit got Weinered, so she's attacking the director of the FBI.

Clinton, who has referred to Abedin as a "second daughter," lashed out Saturday at the FBI's handling of a new email review that arrived as unexpectedly as did the revelation that Weiner was involved.

The development led to a chorus of Democratic leaders decrying the bureau's actions, which came with a little less than two weeks remaining before Election Day. Clinton called it "unprecedented" and "deeply troubling," and her campaign chairman, John Podesta, said there was "no indication this is even about Hillary."

 

It's hardly the fault of the FBI that Pantsuit's demonstrably irresponsible and lacks both temperament and judgement. Now that she's in yet another hole, she just keeps digging. Democratics no longer have any option: in order to prevent Ferret-top from winning, they're going to have to bring out their reliable dead voters yet again.

Authentic Mexican Food

I ordered a chicken taco and a chicken enchilada from Sanchez, just down the road in Tigard, Oregon. When I got there to pick it up, the place was packed. I haven't heard that much Spanish since I was down in Juarez! Never expected it to be so busy on a Sunday evening, but wow. Understandable, though- they really do make authentic Mexican food back there (trail tip: do not under any circumstances allow them to give you their red sauce, go for the green sauce - that's plenty hot enough).

One chicken taco is filled with enough shredded chicken and fresh cilantro to fill a normal human. As is the case with their enchiladas. Fresh, tasty, and filling. Total cost? $5. Really. They do so much business that they can keep the costs down; they're that good. This was the first time that I ordered from them on a Sunday, however. In the future, I'll return to my occasional mid-week ordering.

Two people filled with dinner for five bucks? What's not to like?

Tesla Aims High

Now they're shooting for your roof:

Welcome to the new age of solar panels.

Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk wasn’t kidding when he said that the new Tesla solar roof product was better looking than an ordinary roof: the roofing replacement with solar energy gathering powers does indeed look great.

Yes, they actually look like normal roofing materials, but they gather solar energy and transmit it to the Tesla whole-house battery system in your home. And it gets better: not only is the roof projected to outlast the lifespan of the house, it's less expensive than a traditional roof after energy consumption is figured in - so they say:

Tesla’s roof cost less than the full cost of a roof and electricity will be competitive or better than the cost of a traditional roof combined with the cost of electricity from the grid, Musk said.

Anger And Disbelief

“I'm livid, actually,” one Clinton surrogate told The Hill. “This has turned into malpractice. It's an unforced error at this point. I have no idea what Comey is up to but the idea this email issue is popping back up again is outrageous. It never should have occurred in the first place. Someone somewhere should have told her no. And they didn't and now we're all paying the price.”

One strategist said the developments would further cement the notion that Clinton has something to hide.

“It’s made people think there’s always going to be something around the Clintons, some investigation, some inquiry,” the strategist said. “It never goes away.”

Well of course it never goes away; the Clinton family is a criminal organization, and most people recognize that. The mafia sells drugs and hookers, the Clintons sell influence. In both organizations, people who cross them end up dead. Now Pantsuit's out campaigning without her close confidant, Huma, so presumably Huma needs to make sure that there's really an elevator at the floor before she steps into the shaft. Falls can be really nasty.

On the other hand, maybe she can employ the tried-and-true Clinton defense of "not recalling".

But things have turned decidedly bad; even the Chicago Tribune ran a piece stating in no uncertain terms that Pantsuit needs to step down so that her nutball VP candidate can "stand in her place". In response, Pantsuit's basically declared war on Comey, which comes as no surprise; she's always been about power and influence and money, and she desperately wants to be president so that she can finish what Obama began. The reopened investigation stands in her way, and that simply can't be allowed. It's all another "vast, right-wing conspiracy" as far as she's concerned.

 

This is almost as entertaining as the trial of the Bundy Gang.

This Does Not Appear In Willamette Week

But then, the owner of that publication is married to the state Attorney General (and certainly not because she's such a looker), so....

What is clear, according to a report filed on Open the Books.com, a non- profit watchdog that claims to be “The World’s Largest Private Database of Government Spending”, is that the Markowitz Herbold law firm has received payments from the Oregon Justice Department in excess of $36 million dollars since 2012, the year Governor John Kitzhaber appointed Ellen Rosenblum Attorney General.

Now, this may come as a surprise, but believe it or not, the M-H law firm has made sizeable contributions to the Democratic's campaign. In fact, they're among her "most generous campaign contributors".

Man, I shoulda got more "politically connected"; I could be rich! Alas, I'm not. Principles always get in the way. And if you have principles, Democratics tend to shy away from you.

Trump Dump

Warren County, Ohio Democratics see no humor in the pile of manure at their county headquarters.

Hey, it looks like it's been pretty well composted, so it should be great for sprucing up some plantings (actually, from the look of it, the place could do with a little greenery).

But Democratics seem generally humorless; they'd never do something like dumping a load of manure in the parking lot of a GOP headquarters. Nope, as we saw recently in North Carolina, their supporters firebomb Republican headquarters.

As for the manure, Democratics there are fuming: "What reasonable person thinks this is OK????"

Hey, it's better than a firebomb....

Another Weiner Explosion

Really, the second one in two days!

TUCKERTON — A hot dog truck exploded early Saturday morning, damaging some nearby businesses and raining down debris on the area, authorities said Saturday.

Survivor

That is such a stupid appropriation of the term: "Oh, she's a cancer survivor!" "Oh! He battled through cancer! He's a survivor!"

As someone who still has another year to go on the state's cancer list, and as the only one who has lived more than two years after that kind of rare sarcoma was diagnosed, I think I'm qualified to say B.S. You don't "battle" cancer any more than you "battle" the common cold. Got over your cold? Hey, cool! You're a survivor!

I figure that everyone who's living falls into that category.

When my sarcoma was diagnosed, I didn't "battle" - I went into dual-beam radiation for six weeks because the damned thing had started wrapping itself around my vascular and nerve bundles.  So when the lead surgeon on the team told me I needed dual-beam for six weeks, my immediate reaction was to ask if that meant they were going to send in a couple of folks to stand around and grin at me.

No such luck - what it means is that they hit you with double the dose of radiation that they'd use on, say, a breast-cancer patient, and they hit you from above and below; hence, dual-beam. They do that to kill off as much as they can in hopes of saving the arm. It also burns all of the skin off your arm-pit, so you learn to walk a bit differently, holding the arm out so it doesn't adhere.

I figured that with all that radiation, I could save a ton of money on night-lights; just hold my arm out, and light my way downstairs at home.

No such luck. It doesn't work that way.

So after radiation, you get about a month of recovery time before you go to surgery. The lead surgeon has to do a half hour of "here's what can go wrong", emphasizing that he has to get every last cancer cell because this one's so aggressive. After that, he asks if you have any questions.

"Well, ordinarily it wouldn't occur to me, but the folks on TV say I should ask my doctor".

He leaned back in his chair and pulled a serious face.

"Is my heart healthy enough for sexual activity?"

He was poleaxed. After a minute he burst out laughing and said I was healthy enough for just about anything.

As I was in the prep area, he went out and found my wife, and asked if I was always like this. "Like what?", she asked. So he told her a few of my lines, and she affirmed that yes, "He's pretty much always like that".

"And that's what's going to save his life!", he said. Until then, she hadn't realized quite the severity of the situation.

My view? I'm not a "survivor" or a "battler" - I just got treatment for a problem and handled it with occasional humor because I assumed that cancer teams have to deal with scared or angry people all the time, so why should I add to their heartburn? Quite the contrary, I gave them something to laugh about. I think it worked well for all of us.

Millions Of Dollars For Faked Research

An acquaintance of mine wrote this recently.

Stop me if you've heard this before: University applies for grants to study climate change and humanity's role in altering our atmosphere. University receives overwhelming amount of attention for showing a clear link between the burning of fossil fuels and rising global temperatures. This attention leads the university to receive millions in public grants to continue its studies into anthropogenic global warming, while also funding other programs and enriching individual researchers in the process. Later we discover the university faked its research, claimed credit for studies it wasn't responsible for, and was caught red-handed in a massive fraud that betrayed the public trust in an academic study that is funded by taxpayer money.

What a surprise. Governments pay big bucks to get the results that they want. And you're going to have "green&sustainable" rammed down your throat by HUD and EPA. Oh, and "equity" too:

John Anthony rightly perceives that the problem is not one of development, but one of despotism.

"HUD [and other federal agencies] have converged into a massive administration-led autocracy, pre-planning neighborhoods, living patterns, school attendance and even the social makeup of your community," he said.

"Communities that resist face compliance reviews, withdrawal of millions in HUD funding or even civil rights lawsuits that will break the financial backs of most towns and counties. And, of course the counterfeit charges of not caring for America’s poor and needy."

That last charge will be the wedge the federal government will use to divide Americans and to convince the purportedly neglected to accept federal tyranny in exchange for "equal housing opportunities."

You won't have to yell at kids to get off your law, because you won't have one. You will live in an apartment bunker as directed by your government masters in the lifer bureaucracy; they're permitted to issue rules with the force of law, without accountability.
