   Gregory, Pelline is twice the man you are. But only in size. He cannot defeat you in any arguments as he is driven by hate and you are driven by logic. He and Frisch are the dregs and unfortunately liberals like them are around. Anyway, you have proven your smarts here and Pelline/Frisch have proven their maladies.

   A day and a half without “Robert Cross” or “Jon” dropping in to share a bit of snark. Can we stand the silent treatment? 😉
   It’s a shame they can’t take it with the aplomb with which they dish it up. Yes, gentlemen, you are akin to the illiterates who, because they can’t read, have to rely on others to read patient warnings on medicine packaging or the priest on Sunday for interpretations of the books they find holy. Personally, I don’t know how the unwashed can live without introductory holy books like Apostol Calculus or Halliday & Resnick Fundamentals of Physics, but that’s just me.
   Yesterday I found a website with a teacher at a local charter school claiming physics is the study of energy but, that doesn’t quite touch the core and it’s just a bit scary that they actually teach a class called physics. From the wiki:

   “Physics (from Ancient Greek: φυσική (ἐπιστήμη) phusikḗ (epistḗmē) “knowledge of nature”, from φύσις phúsis “nature”) is the natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. One of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, the main goal of physics is to understand how the universe behaves”

   “The main goal of physics is to understand how the universe behaves”. Damn, if that doesn’t encapsulate the subject. Now, Jeff and Steve, you spent years learning how to bullshit; try not to take it personally when you get called on it.

   While they were misguided, it’s essentially unfair to just dismiss The Jeffersonians (wasn’t that a sitcom?) as “malcontents”. It takes a willful blindness to be content with the state of the one party state, from the public pension bomb that will eventually blow up Sacramento to the bullet train to nowhere.

    Jon COAL is rising from your liberal crib:
    Developing countries that already have a high share of renewable energy in their power mix are unlikely to grow this share further due to skyrocketing demand for cheap electricity, a report warns. The study by intergovernmental organisation the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) says that many developing countries made huge strides towards deploying renewable technologies over the past decade — but this rise is now levelling off. Instead, these countries are turning towards fossil fuels to meet the energy demands of their citizens, IRENA says. Renewables formed nearly 50 per cent of Indonesia’s energy mix in 2000, but this had dropped to under 40 per cent by 2013, the report found. China, India and Mexico have also seen their renewable share fall over this period. –Claudia Caruana, Sci Dev Net, 11 April 2016
    It will return in the US also once the next great minimum brings unrelenting cold, making renewable unreliable energy

    GeorgeB 316pm – An excellent question about which I don’t have to speculate Mr Boardman. As a matter of policy the NC Republican Party along with the NC Republican Women Federated will not endorse any specific candidate when multiple Republicans are running for the same seat, except when their memberships vote overwhelmingly – at least 75% – for a given candidate. This year State Senator Ted Gaines and Congressman Doug LaMalfa have both asked our NC organizations not to endorse any Republican candidates for the House and state legislature. In fact, Congressman LaMalfa made the same request of all the county Republican parties and affiliated organizations in his congressional district.

    My goodness “jon” you are sp ridiculous. The Union did not make a political statement on Strawser, you did on your blog.
    Regarding Trump. On a politcal level he is rather naive. The Colorado issue does stink for the voters though and I think it is a strategy for the general election. But to call him a “moron” is over the top. He seems to have a few billion dollars and employes many people. I think you are jealous since you can only get so much growing on your land.

    Jon, Trump will be so presidential you won’t believe it.
    (Breitbart ) During a town hall Sunday on Fox News Channel with GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump, Trump said that he will be “more presidential” and change his tone once he wins, but he said that does not mean he will not hit back harder if attacked first.
    “Tone to me matters. Being presidential matters,” Trump told host Greta Van Susteren. “If somebody hits me, I have to hit them back. I have to. I’m not going to sit there and say, ‘I’m wonderful, I’m a president.’ I want to win. I will be so presidential you won’t believe it.”
    Van Susteren asked him to expound on being “presidential.”
    Trump responded, “It means maybe not be so aggressive, maybe not get so personal. But when people get personal with me, they say, oh, they don’t like my hair, okay? If I ever said I don’t like their hair it would be a headline. They’re allowed to say whatever they want to about me. My hair is not that bad is it? And it is my hair. But you know what happens? What happens is they hit me and I hit them back harder and, usually in all cases, they do it first. But they hit me and I hit them back harder and they disappear. That’s what we want to lead the country.”
    He then added, “I will be so presidential, Greta, you will be so proud of me.”
    It kind of sounds like he thinks it is just a big game called “playing President”.

    My blog?..whatever. A blogger from the far reaches Yuba County I guess..:)
    Fact is that the Union piece was a shot to Strawser’s prior reputation for moderation and pragmatism. He’s so pragmatic he’s willing to take money from far right groups. Miscalculation of the highest order. To be tied to that Climate Denier is a bad thing in his District. Heidi’s in good shape. 🙂
    Drumpf is either a moron, or intentionally trying to save face right now before he gets humiliated and ravaged at the convention, never intending to get that far in the first place. This whining allows him to play the victim card, the victim of that establishment..the same establishment that Ted Cruz is more than happy to work with now!
    Not sure at this point, but the latter theory about Drumpf has a lot of merit.
