    Well. Ben, two things. First, you can push all you want, but you still need that personality, that face, the articulate clean Negro type who looks good on camera to push for your causes. Can’t get around that. You guys need just that one missing ingredient to bake your cake. Should be someone relatively good looking, likeable with charm and knows how to use humor at just the right time to warm people up to him/her (to speak to the masses on your behalf, of course). But, this person you need to really get the ball rolling and start the Big Momentum Wildfire across the fruited plains has to stay true to his core believes. He must mean what he/she says and say what he means. A person of color would be desirable, but not absolutely necessary. You, by friend, need a Ronald Reagen. You are in good company. Obama claimed he is Ronald Reagen come in the flesh and the Republicans are still looking for that Reagenesk personality. Personality with substance.
    Secondly, now I know why you never will set foot in a Wal-Mart. White trash at its finest. Gives you whities a bad name.

    Boy, after more reading, I fell sorry for you whities out there. Is this best you guys have? Heck, she is the number one frontrunner right now, beating both Dems and Republicans as well as all wannabes and all new comers.
    Hillary is really giving your people a bad name. Whatever it takes, Ben and I and all people without a broken conscience or broken thinkers must join forces to clean up the flagrant corrupt money laundering going on by the Clinton’s themselves. If there was ever a poster child for shameless influence peddling and selling one’s soul to the highest bidder in our political election process, Hillary Rodham Clinton’s mug should be on it, as well as her mugshot hanging in every post office in our great land. Yep, Hillary makes me almost hate you honkies big time.

    Paul, you need to go back and read my posts. I said just the opposite.
    Your problem is you can only say the word ‘Bush’. The fed govt shouldn’t be giving anyone money. Period. If it was Nader or Sanders handing out billions you would think it wonderful. You’re only against fraud if the parties involved are Rs or have the name of Bush attached some how. You strain against gnats and ignore the camel. If Bush never existed, we would have the same national debt and the same clowns running the show.

    The “designated reader” hasn’t chimed in for awhile (in fact, I’ve found the FUE taking my name in vain without the “designated reader” making note), but let me share an observation… Jeff P is getting from one to zero comments on most of his postings. What’s an award winning journalist to do when readers disappear even when the words are free?
    Jeff might eventually realize the energy on his blog in the old days wasn’t his doing… it was energy that was brought by a number of independent souls who chose to converse there who have all abandoned him. But then he might not.

    Gingrich was the last Speaker who was able to get somewhere, but then he was laboring with a Democratic prez who, while perfectly capable of playing hardball, was at heart a dealmaker as prolific as LBJ and the two were able to get stuff done even if the budget balancing was with smoke and mirrors. There’s no way Boehner could balance the budget even if he wanted to without a bigger majority in the House and a Senate that could override an Obama veto. All that could happen with a real GOP-Tea Party tantrum is another episode of the GOP shutting down the government; no one in the press will notice it took two for that Tango.

    “Then there’s conservatism’s current favorite whipping boy, human-caused climate change. They don’t care what the science says; they know in their hearts that it’s just an excuse to exert more control over our lives.” – George Boardman, The Union, 6/1/2015
    Well, GB, here we are in the sandbox. While I’ve never self-identified as a conservative, I’ll wear the yellow star for you for a moment. Let’s play “Science Says”.
    Do you really think “the science” talks through politically funded groups like the IPCC? Did you ever run across this statement in the ClimateGate emails regarding what papers to include in their IPCC Working Group report?:
    “I can’t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin and I will keep them out somehow — even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!” Phil Jones, University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit
    Let’s play “Science Says”. Does science say to actively ignore inconvenient conclusions that were published in the peer reviewed literature? Let’s forget for the moment that probably well over half the peer reviewed literature is wrong in whole or in part… science is messy. The game you’re playing isn’t science, it’s argumentum ad vericundiam … citing authorities. That’s religion; you’re not looking for scientists, you’re looking for Priests. Then there’s “consensus”… that’s politics, not science.
    Science talks to me directly, I don’t have to look for a priest or a politician to tell me what to think. Having read the popular press (including Scientific American, which drank the IPCC Koolaid years ago), I believed the basic AGW story with a grain of salt… no, the sensationalist claims of the Goracles seemed overblown, but the basics of CO2 driving warming because of its IR absorption characteristics made complete sense… except that when I dug into it myself, I found it wasn’t CO2 that was driving the projections but rather the IPCC’s Priests’multiplication of that by factors of 2 to 4 from theorized responses to that purturbation by the climate system, primarily positive feedbacks from increased water vapor from that little bit of increased evaporation… and assuming more water vapor wouldn’t result in more clouds.
    Boardman, I don’t know which of the Trivial Arts you chose to study in high school and possibly college, but I slogged through math classes filled with math majors, chemistry classes filled with chemistry majors, engineering classes with engineers, physics classes with physicists, even played in a couple of symphonies. My education was Quadrivium all the way and Science speaks to me directly.
    You?
    At this time, we’ve gone by some datasets a full quarter century since there was statistically significant warming. We have fiddling (by the NOAA National Climate Data Center) with terrestrial dataset correction factors that have recently made the past cooler and the present warmer, but Phil Jone’s East Anglia CRU terrestrial dataset does not agree, and then there’s the inconvenient truth that two satellite datasets, and four radiosonde (weather balloon) datasets all pretty much agree with each other without all the fudge factors the NCDC is resorting to in order to make data agree with theory. Here’s one decent graph of the satellite/radiosonde data vs the IPCC’s computer model output

    The whole warming meme is unwinding, slowly. I expect there will be bitter clingers in Sacramento among the last to see the light.

In any event, can you tell us why you are concerned about when people read the TPP in relation to when they voted on the TPA. The latter gives the prez fast-track authority to negotiate trade treaties and then have Congress study them before voting a treaty up or down. The former is one of many treaties to come that can be fast-tracked under the TPA. Congress can always do what they want whether the TPA is in place or not.

    George Boardman, pay attention to Popper, Feynman and Einstein, they’re all saying the same thing. The Jeb Bush comment that you used to illustrate the silliness of Jeb Bush is merely a restatement of the Popper quote found at the above link, though I’d bet it was his speechwriter who came up with it.
    Actual scientists have a much different take on science than the Boardmans of the world do, and it is a foreign concept that scientific theories can’t be proven true no matter how many authorities salute it when run up the flagpole. Einstein is literally correct… it would only take one experiment to prove him wrong even now. Some think that has already happened, but reality will not collapse if that is the case.
    The left looks at how the anti-left ‘denies’ climate change and concludes it’s politics that lead them to not listen to what “science says”. Eventually, the left will be looking at their hysterical belief in climate change and wonder why their politics led them to ignore Popper, Feynman and Einstein.

    There has been too much agreement lately. Here is a comment that will get our equilibrium back.
    It must be getting tough around here to continue to deny and keep your heads in the sand about the unequal justice system and law enforcement towards people of color. Sounds like pure racism caused this incident, kids were members and invited guests.
    http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/09/us/mckinney-texas-pool-party-video/index.html
    “‘It’s the first step’
    Tatyana Rhodes, who was hosting a party at the pool Friday before police arrived, said tensions were running high after a racially charged fight broke out there. It started, she said, when two white women told a group of African-American teens they should leave and “go back to their Section 8 homes.”

    One of the women, she said, smacked her in the face.

    Chief Calls Actions Of Officer From McKinney, Texas, Pool Party Video ‘Indefensible’

    http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/06/09/413153057/hundreds-march-in-mckinney-s-streets-to-protest-police-action

    excerpt from interview
    http://www.democracynow.org/2015/6/9/pulling_a_gun_on_a_pool
    AARON MATÉ: Cheryl Dorsey, the issue of how this whole incident started, the teens were at a pool party. Apparently, some — there was a dispute between some white residents and some of the black teens with the white residents hurling epithets at the black teens and that was the so-called disturbance that spurred this officer’s response.
    CHERYL DORSEY: Right. And so, with that as a backdrop, when he comes in, what he should have done is he should have contacted the reporting party, interview that person to find out what was going on, and then attempt to locate and identify the person that was hosting the party to further conduct an investigation. And none of that happen. It seems as though he merely took the word of the white residents, that the black teens were not there legally, permissibly and then just went about corralling them and harassing them and talking to them in a way that was profane and offensive. And, you know, since he’s a training officer, I am concerned because we also see him on video barking orders to the junior officers, go get that mf-er. And they just followed him blindly. So I’m wondering if this isn’t a problem that is maybe systemic throughout the department. If this is your police officers are training younger officers, is this condoned? Is this behavior appropriate? I think not.

    While you are all in a tither about a few kids being arrested for being shi##y to police, their race in Chicago killed another twenty on the streets. You are simply picky in your outrage. All liberals are fools.

    A little sumth’n from the pit master in training. A great day to fire up the BBQ.
    I picked up a nice prime rib chunk of meat from SPD Yesterday.(about 3LBS.) ( Humm.. what to do with it?) I decided to go the simple rout. Not too much salt, yet an ample rubbing of Lowry’s season salt,, and Black pepper. Nothing radical.(this time) I’m going with cherrywood chunks all day, @ 280 deg. and keep the smoke heavy.
    Now to wait and see what happens.

    Ben – that’s one of the worst examples of supposed racial biais.
    The fact is that the woman lied about getting permission for the party. She hadn’t. The ‘children’ were smoking dope and drinking booze. They weren’t supposed to be going over the fence into the pool. The girl wrestled to the ground was disobeying the officer. The officer became surrounded by some males, one of whom started reaching for something in his waistband. At that point, the officer drew his gun on that individual and the kid ran away. The officer re-holstered his gun. It wouldn’t have mattered what color skin the kids had. They shouldn’t have been there and many ignored the cops orders.
    But Ben wants his racism and will have it no matter what the facts are.
    The funniest part is the folks complaining that the cop was swearing. Yet the boom box was blasting out all sorts of profanity. My, how their tender little ears must have hurt hearing the cop swear.
