Category: Comment Sandbox

  • [OK, can someone besides crickets explain why farmers are experiencing a shortage of field labor with one out four black youth unemployed, along with an unknown high unemployment rate among our illegal aliens?  gjr]

  • [Hillary's emails and Obama's Iran giveaway, both are going to overheat.  Yet some think that Obama may be rehabilitated enough by next spring to become an invited campaigner for Democrat candidates.  If true, then "… you can fool enough of them all the time." will be confirmed again.  gjr]

  • [One year ago in Ferguson a white policeman killed a black criminal called Michael Brown who had just robbed a convenience store and then beat the policeman whose gun he tried to take.  In the altercation the policeman shot Brown, and the incident started the 'Hands Up, Don't Shoot!' riots and the 'Black Lives Matter' movement…

  • [Hopefully the Donald Trump dust-up will work itself out in 3jul15 sandbox, and this one can expand on the new thread of illegal aliens and states rights.  But it's only a hope.  gjr]

  • [While the old sandbox was getting full, the comment thread on the externalities post kind of petered out and segued into looking at the externalities implied by AGW, and then it started circling the old climate change barn again.  A request was made to continue it here – fair enough. But before diving in one…
