[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]

    Poor Bill O’Reily blames God for not protecting him from sexual misconduct allegations. YOu can’t make this stuff up.
    “Disgraced former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly added another figure to the cadre of people he holds responsible for his alleged sexual misconduct, telling listeners of the web series “No Spin News” that he also blames God for how the events transpired.
    “You know, am I mad at God? Yeah, I’m mad at him,” O’Reilly said “I wish I had more protection. I wish this stuff didn’t happen. I can’t explain it to you. Yeah, I’m mad at him.”

    Well Fish Todd is such a disciple of Trump I assume he believes Trump has a standard of”ethics and character” that he respects including Trump bragging about pussy grabbing and assaulting women who are helpless because they are mesmerized by his fame. You judge someone by their friends and Todd is defiantly a Trump guy so I assume he respects his character and ethics as a standard for acceptable behavior.

    And Michael Moore’s Broadway debut is also a flop. Looks like Paul Emery’s heroes are failing big league.
    And Paul Emery’s other hero, Harvey Weinstein is trying to claim he is cured from his actual pussy grabbing. Paul Emery likes and respects Harvey shows us all how low on the ethics pole he is. Sad.

    Today The Union published Heidi Hall’s blood alcohol levels at 0.20 and 0.22, indicating that she was sailing three (maybe four) sheets to the wind in that parking lot – the Lord be praised that she didn’t get out on the road where real damage could have been done at highway speeds. In any event, since this incident has received a ho-hum pass at the hands of our local lefties and self-declared mid-roaders, has anyone seen in the public forum any damage that this revealing incident has done to her politically?

    Democrats are protected by their own no matter the incident. Paul Emery’s support for Harvey Weinstein is a good example. Heidi Hall’ poor behavior will be brushed aside as evidenced by some of the comments on the Union article. And do not expect the local democrat party types to say anything but praise. That is the difference between R’s and D;s. The R’s would say something.

    Flying at our local airport you sometimes hear “Other traffic please advise”, uttered by an pilot as they are approaching a non-towered airport as part of their position and intention report. You see, if there isn’t a tower to coordinate, pilots do it. Everyone is trained in the protocols and they work well. You say what you are doing (take off or landing) and how you intend to do it. Another pilot whose path might conflict would be expected to chime in and say something like “Podunk traffic, Cessna 12345 is departing runway 29er straight out, will look for incoming Piper” which would tell the incoming Piper pilot what he needed to know whether he asked for other traffic to advise or not.
    “Other traffic please advise” is especially in use by people who don’t monitor the frequency before they pipe up, and expect everyone to repeat themselves to make up for it. It’s such a bloody waste of bandwidth that there’s even a citation in the Airman’s Information Manual from the FAA that states it is not a valid position report and is never appropriate.
    Paul, your pestering people to answer your challenges in your fishing for something to argue about are never appropriate. Make your point, and either someone will talk to you or they won’t.

    That was interesting. I choose Walter Williams for the rebuttal. Take it away, Professor.
    “According to academic intellectuals, whites enjoy advantages that nonwhites do not. They earn higher income and reside in better housing, and their children go to better schools and achieve more. Based on those socio-economic statistics, Japanese-Americans have more white privilege than white people. And, on a personal note, my daughter has experienced more white privilege than probably 95 percent of white Americans. She’s attended private schools, had ballet and music lessons, traveled the world, and lived in upper-income communities. Leftists should get rid of the concept of white privilege and just call it achievement.”
