Some people take their dog for a walk. In my case, it turns into a run - albeit with frequent sudden halts so that he can sniff, pee, and take off again. I guess it's good exercise for both of us, though personally, I never sniff and pee. I have standards, and I'm sure the local constabulary does as well.

Oregon Senate minority leader Herman Baertschiger said his caucus remains defiant in its efforts to stall proposed cap-and-trade legislation. "My caucus and I continue to stand firm and remain out of the state," he said, criticizing media reports that claimed Republican senators, who fled the capitol to avoid voting on the bill, have been coordinating with militia groups.
When Republicans voiced concerns to Democrats about the bill's economic consequences, Baertschiger said Gov. Kate Brown and Democratic state legislators scoffed. "We can re-educate them. They can get new green jobs," was the response from his Democratic colleagues to concerns workers may lose their jobs, according to Baertschiger.
They can't even educate kids in our schools, yet they believe they can "re-educate" productive adults and push them into "green" jobs? Democratics - mostly from out-of-state, like Kate - always seem to believe that they know what's best for the rest.
They are legends in what passes for their own minds.

President Trump speculated that former Vice President Joe Biden lied to cover up the embarrassment of failing to secure the endorsement of former President Obama.
It's an interesting thing: why would Barry decline to endorse his own Veep's candidacy? Especially since Barry Soetero is a big Trump hater? I suspect that Barry's ego simply precludes it. This was, after all, the guy who was going to halt climate change, part the waters of the Red Sea, and lead the Arabs out of Egyptian slavery - among other things.
Biden simply ain't up to such challenges.

In a recent Nazi outrage, Rashida Tlaib, Democrat Liar of Michigan, stated that the Holocaust has had a “calming” effect on her because the “Palestinians” “welcomed” the Jews into “their” land as a haven from Hitler. Even true friends of Israel in Washington, D.C. like Sen. Lindsey Graham have succumbed to decades of the Biggest Mideast Lie: that there ever was an Arab political entity of “Palestine” or that there ever was a “Palestinian Arab nation.”
There has never been such a thing, but they insist on perpetuating the myth. So-called "Palestinians" have always been nomads, and they are not welcome in ANY Arab country.
They are, in essence, parasites.
They have never had a country, much less "their" land.
Yet when it appears to be expedient, many people buy baloney.

In Aberdeenshire, Scotland, a teen told his teacher there are only two genders.
The teacher didn’t agree.
As reported by the Daily Mail, the instructor had informed his class that a website which only allowed for two gender options was “old fashioned.”
The 17-year-old spoke up, claiming that male and female are the only two, biologically.
For taking a position that was “not inclusive,” he was kicked out of class.
How "inclusive" is that?

The current "biggest" threat to climbers on the world's tallest peak, the former head of the Nepal Mountaineering Association said, is the staggering amount of human excrement being left on its slopes -- with some estimates putting that number at more than 17,000 pounds for this season alone.
“The biggest problem and concern now on Everest is human waste," Ang Tshering told the Associated Press in an interview this week.
A cleaning campaign on Mount Everest that concluded Wednesday found the remains of four climbers and removed over 24,000 pounds of garbage, officials said.
Danduraj Ghimire, an official with the Nepali Tourism Department, said that cleaning crews spent weeks collecting food wrappings, cans, bottles and empty oxygen cylinders from two separate campsites on the world’s highest mountain.
Ah, Respect For Nature is a wondrous thing.
Yep, let's go crap up the world's highest mountain! After all, feces rolls downhill....

Aerial images show the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft parked in the staff car park because there is no more capacity left at the airport.
They've got Boeing Field full, the Renton facility's full as well, so they're reduced to plopping jets into the parking lots. They can't exactly stuff them into SeaTac.

“Hi, bear. It’s me, bear,” Dr. Lynn Rogers says as he approaches a 350-pound wild black bear that he’s named Burt. Rogers’ palm is upward near his ear, like a waiter balancing a tray of food high above the heads of diners. Except instead of a tray, Rogers’ palm holds a single peanut.
Yep, he just hangs out with bears.
And he gets away with it, for the time being.

The report includes undercover footage featuring a top Google executive, Jen Gennai, discussing how Google might prevent an electoral outcome like 2016 from happening again.
Here’s what Gennai says in the undercover video:
We all got screwed over in 2016, again it wasn’t just us, it was, the people got screwed over, the news media got screwed over, like, everybody got screwed over so we’re rapidly been like, happened there and how do we prevent it from happening again.
We’re also training our algorithms, like, if 2016 happened again, would we have, would the outcome be different?
Gennai also declares her opposition to Democrat presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren’s proposal to break up Google. Why? Because, says Gennai, if Google is broken up it can’t prevent another “Trump situation.”
