[Perusing this morning's papers I see that the TPP negotiations have blown a tire.  Polls show that 70% of Americans believe Hillary is untrustworthy and a consummate liar.  Team Obama is demanding that Congress abandon even the Pelosi Principle in accepting the Iran deal with unknown and unknowable secret codicils. And, of course, as data from the states rolls in, Obamacare is living up to and beyond its worst prognostications.  But for a bit of levity or very deep conspiracy, I point you to Joe Queenan in the 1aug15 WSJ who writes 'Clearly, the Donald Works for Hillary'.  gjr]

    Seems there is more than one fire happy bastard. ( and a lousy throw)
    Someone tried to start another up the hill from PV on 20 with a road flair, but it didn’t make it over the guard rail. ( 10 minutes ago)

    Walt, is there a reason a reason you keep saying ARIA? Is it a mental issue?

    Walt neither spells nor punctuates well and his grammar can be vexing but, as far as I can tell, he is as sane as any of us and perhaps more so than some.

    Dershowitz says that in his book he proves “conclusively” that Mr. Obama changed his policy.
    Interesting that of all the flip flops and constant position evolution that this one issue raised Mr. Dershowitz ire.

    fish 552am – Good link Mr fish. Dershowitz laboriously compiles the obvious knowns about Obama and the Iran deal – and that is a contribution to the debate. What he does no conclude well (at least enough to be noted as a major finding) is that Obama demonstrates the behavior of an insipient tyrant with his successive term – more so were he allowed to run again – and as he senses his increasing immunity from public feedback. I believe Obama to be a ‘Sec 8 intellectual’; not very smart and full of himself (hubristic) with an easy speaking style made easier/possible by the paucity of ideas that he has to manipulate in real time. Dershowitz sees/believes none of that.

    Thought for the day:
    “Republicans smugly predicting Trump will fail from self-inflicted wounds don’t see what a stunning admission of their own failure that is.” Trump is the symptom. Lousy leadership is the disease.
