[The last sandbox was a bit overfull, other than that it appears that 'climate change' has again become the perennially misunderstood issue of interest du jour. I was a bit surprised that Thomas Elias <tdelias@aol.com>, waxing on the evidence for inevitable climate change in the 21oct17 Union, never once mentioned even the existence of credited and credible scientists who dispute the hysteria of the True Believers. I suppose such admissions to the lightly read might discombuberate their carefully implanted opinions, and inadvertently open up directions of inquiry best left undisturbed. gjr]

At least HH was smart enough to plead guilty to DUI and not waste money on lawyers fighting that guilty plea. Now, she can waste all the money she wishes fighting the .02 and over, but it’s the State that has the final say. Judge says onething, DMV requires more pounds of flesh. Thought she would get a year of classes at least, with only one allowable absence. That outfit that runs the drunk driving classes (NCCA) or something needs the money bad to stay afloat. They are really money diggers and tight wads as our courts like to help them out. They need to. More classes, more money. I place my bets on her getting 9 months of class and one of the DUIs dropped.

1). Dave Larson, why, why why?, ROFLMPEO! Hey, Punch Drunk One, it’s Mr. Fish to you. Show some respect and check your Whitey Male Privilege at the door. This ain’t some racist “Celtic gathering” to celebrate your Northern European identiy with those stupid things on your heads. And don’t blame the Angl-Saxons because the Romans conquered the sheep humpers in Scotland like a hot knife through butter. Some resistance, not! I know, you are lovers, not fighters. Lovers of the hoofed ones, that is.
At least the Romans showed the hairy savages what toilets, plumbing and irrigation looks like. Didn’t do no good. It was the thought that counts.

Oh Walt, Popinjay loves deregulation. Deregulate pot, deregulate home improvement codes and fees (only if you are working on the abode), deregulate immigration and voting eligibility laws, deregulate food stamps and places to stick the homeless, deregulate paying NATO dues by participating members, deregulate this, deregulate that, and deregulate all restrictions on outdoor live music at private parties.
And regulate guns. And speech. And extraction of oil. And wearing heels ascending and descending stairs on an airplane. Safety hazzard and all that stuff. Not all of us a beautiful models that speak five languages and walk flawlessly while looking so graceful and classy. Regulate that shoe stuff before somebody pulls a Hillary and gets hurt. Brain damage hurt. Big time brain damage hurt. Told the FBI she can’t remember her days at State because of brain damage due to a graceless fall. It was the Secret Service’s fault. They should have caught her instead of putting their hands behind their backs and snickering.
Yo Punchy, one side has 8 trillion bullets and the other side doesn’t know what bathroom to use. No worries. Saw something yesterday and immediately thought of you. News said that Boo2 was the winner at the weekend boxoffice. Boo, and Boo2 to you, my good Popinjay.

Ok, Fish. I done got confused as well. I must be coming down with whatever the Punch Drunk One has. I had no idea that brain injuries are contagious.
Guess I will talk about football. Since I got a concussion by osmosis from the Dope on the Ropes, I will share some worthless Information.
I have only been to one NFL game in my life. Roman Gabriel at QB, the Fearsome Foursome up front, Jack Snow for the long ball and Dick Bass pounding out the run game. Jack Pardee in the secondary. The Rams scored 17 points in the last 17 seconds of the first half against the Philly Eagles. Boring. Crowd was boring. Very unlike my first college football game the week before. UCLA vs the Beavers. Gary Beaben at QB. Game ended in a tie when the UCLA soccer type kicker drove the short field goal attempt straight into the linemen as game expired. Got no height on the kick. Crowd erupted, had to clear the field twice during the final quarter as the refs got pelted with trash on every ball call, and my own Dad grabbed my mustard covered hotdog and threw it at some unsuspecting Oregon State bench warmers. Dad! Never saw that side of him before or since. Much much more fun and the crowd, unlike the NFL fans, were quite much into enthusiasm and team spirit.
I don’t have or want or watch the boob tube…. five years come December. Don’t miss it at all…except one day a year…Super Bowl Sunday. Old habits die hard. Oh well, I just ain’t going to pay or free or pay TV or sports anymore. But, I do wish I could bring myself to order Dish so I could watch now and then. Too tight. Must be that Scottish-Welch in me. I thought they got divorced out of the family, but maybe that was the gawd awful French. Records got burned up in the Injun orphanage…
The Eagles are playing tonight against the Washington Redskins. Geeze, this is 2017. When are they going to drop the word ‘Washington’ from the franchise name. Alas, I just want to watch tonight.

“For example, an August poll by America First Policies …..”
America First Poll is a vanity poll not an independent poll that takes it’s name from Trumps campaign slogan. No credibility just like Breitbart who would credit such a source.
Here’s more about the sponsors of the poll. It’s easily googled
“Six of President Donald Trump’s top campaign aides have banded together to start a nonprofit called “America First Policies” to back the White House agenda.”
