  2. Here's a pithy quote from "The Other 98%"...

    "It’s almost as if posting the Ten Commandments in Georgia schools didn’t do anything."

    1. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" also seems to be rather neglected, unless one considers "neighbor" to mean only the person living next door. If they are going to display the Ten Commandments as a "historical document," it seems to me that they should be set next to Hammurabi's Code.

  10. NPR is reporting that Trump is now claiming that that "physical altercation" at Arlington National Cemetery never took place. It also released the names of the two staffers who shoved a cemetery employee who was trying to stop them from violating the law and using the cemetery for political purposes.
    Trump moves further and further away from reality. --nordy

    1. It took two of them? Goddamned cowards!

      Rick Wilson said they'd find out who did it. I'm glad someone found out anyhow, and the skum's names have been made public - not that swamp ooze like that can be shamed. But maybe someone who knows one or other of them will hear about it and be appalled to be acquainted with someone who would do such a thing.

  12. Video: Lately I have been noticing illustrations of passenger airliners with new sorts of turboprop engines. [Click] This is a decent explanation of them, as well as designs that are not as obvious. It gets down into the engineering weeds a bit, but one needn’t understand all of it. Long story short, turboprop engines have become more efficient, and large improvements are underway.
