I miss summer

Knives cut both ways

Imagine toxic waste being securely stored in Conex containers stacked three-or-four-high on a concrete pad fifty feet from the southern border of the United States.

Considering the amount of toxic waste generated in the US, the stack would be approximately 1954.6 miles long before November 3, 2020.

In 2016 the EPA budget was $8.6 Billion. The beautiful thing about Conex containers is that private enterprise will gladly fill and park those containers wherever Trump wants them as long as it gets the EPA off their back.

Don't screw with the EPA, baby. There is no profit in it.

Punchlines for 600

"Well, mister, we done it the way you suggested, dragging him by the antlers...but we kept getting farther and farther from our truck."

Green New Deal Paradise

Buffalo County, South Dakota.

Green energy.

Rising per-capita income.

Only 5.5% of the population are enslaved by evil, private sector jobs.

A vibrant diversity of recreational opportunities.

A recycling ethic that honors Gaia and rivals the best in the world.

Punchlines for 500

Gasping for breath, Pablo crawled back into the shadows. "Juan. Juan! Ees not bacon tree. Ees...ees...a ham bush."

Tax prep software

I am looking for recommendations for tax preparation software.

Last year I bought Turbo Tax. That was just before Intuit, Turbo Tax's parent company actively strangled Second Amendment rights by closing thousands of accounts for firearm merchants.

Did they recant? Is there a supplier of tax prep software that is pro 2nd Amendment?

Ilhan Omar

After listening to the talking-heads tell me what they, Ilhan Omar and Eliot Abrams, said I decided to endure listening to the actual exchange.

I heard an English-as-a-second-language speaker attempt to pose a question to a Washington Deep-State insider. The speaker may have been trying to paint the insider into a corner. Maybe not.

It is her job to eliminate wiggle room so that the witness must answer questions with simple declarative sentences.

I may not support Omar's politics but she was within her rights to demand that she be allowed to continue the preface to her question without interruption.

Also, regarding her heinous, anti-semitic tweet...I just didn't see it. Saying that politics follows the money...anybody who claims this is a radical or racist statement is blowing smoke.

Black-face being equated to actual racism? Bullshit. Omar being anti-semitic? Not enough data.

Another two years might change my mind, but for now I have to give Representative Omar the benefit of the doubt.
