So while Walt may not have cited the chapter 11 NAFTA claim he clearly had an idea of what was actually happening. It is also clear that when you are talking about wits that the ‘jon’ does not have a whit of wit. Look it up the ‘jon’. 😉

Because of SYRCL, we’ve become very well known throughout the land for our Environmental awareness, and that’s a very good thing.

    FWIW… it’s very possible “Walt the Dirtmover” is the detritus of that early constructivist reading pedagogy, “See and Say” aka “See and Guess”. I’ve met a number of functioning adults who never managed to connect all the dots after their early reading instruction ignored all we now know about phonics and its importance in literacy. We now know that skilled adult readers use the same speech centers of the brain used when listening to speech; whether heard or read, the words are parsed into phonemes and the words are then understood.
    Walt is very possibly one wounded reader, and I think I’m not betraying any confidences that Russ is another. So is my sister who got a phonics-less early education that was adopted in our shared school a couple of years after I did. About a decade after being promoted into Junior High, as a physics major on a break, I taught Algebra to the MGM kids in the school who’d run out of math the teachers understood. One day, a Romanian educator was visiting with a handler from the school District’s curriculum orifice, and we got to chatting. Middle aged Romanian lady told me in Romania they taught reading phonetically and as soon as I piped up that I was taught the same way, at the very school we were sitting in when the handler swooped over, informed the both of us that English was best taught by See and Guess and ushered out the nice lady before we could talk further.
    Nice lady may or may not have seen that behavior outside a Warsaw Pact country.

    Gregory,
    You are correct. I was taught to see and guess speed reading. It has hampered me all my life. I really only read the first three character of a long word and guess the rest based on the context of the sentence. Boy, oh boy does that lead to some very bad proofreading. I can come back to something I wrote months earlier and cannot believe that I wrote and proofed the text. Ellen was taught phonetically, a very good speller, and English Major. She is my editor if the product is being sold. Blogging, I am on my own and it shows. I am now using a program that monitors my spelling and grammar as I write. It helps but is not the total solution. Yes, my education, or lack thereof, shows. I am currently working through a Great Courses class on sentence construction. Let’s see if it helps.

    Oh NO, jon, now what?
    A new survey shows a sizable number of Democrats ready to defect from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump.
    Nearly 20 percent of likely Democratic voters say they’d cross sides and vote for Trump, while a small number, or 14 percent, of Republicans, claim they’d vote for Clinton. When those groups were further broken down, a far higher percentage of the crossover Democrats contend they are “100 percent sure” of switching than the Republicans.

    If Trump keeps pushing the jobs issue he may pick up millions of voters from the left. They too are being screwed by Obama’s economic policies. Today they are touting 290K new jobs in December. Duh! Temporary XMAS jobs just like it has been every year of my life. The employers will now be shedding those and the rolls will bloat. So democrat blue collar men and women who would rather work will be flocking to the guy with the job policies. And ObamaCare must be booted and allow the people to get full time jobs. So I can see the “Reagan” democrats supporting Trump.

    Oh Russ, you can’t trust US News and World Report. It’s a far right wing rag for certain. Hillary’s new speech is “hey, you may not like me, but at least I’m electable” when yapping to voters about The Bernman. Hmm. Makes sense to Hillary and Debbie, but begs the question “How low can you go?”
    Actually I would prefer that articles like the one Mr. Steele posted above would be blocked from the web. I like it when the Shock and Awe head scratching and mumbling happens to all the experts who are confounded by results and their smug predictions make them all look like fools. Hey, whatever happened to the Dem front runner Edmund Muskie? Is he still alive sucking up my air?
    The mood is this: it’s not Trump as much as the nation does not like Hillary, does not want Hillary (and her excessive baggage scandals which costs way too much to put on the airliner) and the angry mood of the country in this post racial era. Sixties talking points and urgent campus foot stomping just don’t put food on the table or keep us safe.
    Ah, forget all that bull pucky I just wrote. It’s Trump. It’s all about Trump.. Ain’t nothing to do with Hillaty orThe Bernman or Uncle Joe or Jonnie the windsurfer Kerry, or Elizabeth Two Dogs Humping Squawking Sqaw…..nope, they have no role to play. It’s The Donald, stupid.
