I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Linkee-poo is on pins and needles

We're down the end game. If you haven't called your Senators yet, you should.

"Wisconsin is about to shell out as much as $3 billion for the privilege of luring Foxconn Technology Group. At $519 per citizen, it would have been cheaper to buy an iPhone for every man, woman and child in the midwestern state." All this winning is sure getting tiring. And expensive.

"Even prominent right-wing populists are beginning to worry that they invested their faith in an unstable leader." Won't get fooled again, eh buddies? Aw, is your pet-president not behaving the way you wanted? That's really too bad for you. Have you noticed that every single leader since Reagan (and if you judge by modern expectations, even Reagan doesn't match up) has been disappointing to you. Next up we'll hear the cry for "if only we nominated True Conservatives we wouldn't be in this mess. Hate to tell you all, but you did and we are. The fault is in conservative policies. (Grokked from Michele)

"Zinke's message, writes the Dispatch News' Erica Martinson, was that Murkowski's vote 'had put Alaska's future with the administration in jeopardy.'" So glad we're being adult about things. This is what crime families do.

"On Wednesday night, I received a phone call from Anthony Scaramucci, the new White House communications director. He wasn’t happy." Oh look, it's amateur hour at the White House. Don't forget, this is the guy they hired to clean things up. The best part, the "((insert person commented on) declined to comment)". Do I need to make the comment that one of the side effects of heavy drug use is paranoia?
