  1. Guess it is worth a try… LOL
    A New York Times spokesperson wrote in an email that the letter was sent to those who canceled citing the new op-ed columnist and opted into receiving messages from The Times. The spokesperson said less than 6 percent of people who canceled their subscriptions to The Times since Stephens’ hire was announced in April cited the hire or the new column as the reason for the cancellation.

  2. “#WINNING: USA fracks its way to a fuel surplus
    LOSING: OPEC and “fractivists.”
    “Back in 2011, as that season’s presidential pandering was getting revved up, the President Obama said we can’t drill our way out of energy problems.”
    “I hate to admit it: Obama is right. We didn’t drill our way out, we fracked our way to a fuel surplus. There has been so much winning recently that OPEC is now complaining.”

    “Like I said previously, this isn’t a Democrat versus Republican issue, they are two sides of the same coin. The Democrats advocate gigantic government to benefit and support the unions and racial minorities in this country, and the Republicans advocate gigantic government to benefit business in this country. But they both support a gigantic Federal government. This isn’t Democrat versus Repubican… it is US versus THEM… the everyday people versus the political class. These people don’t give a f*ck about you… they just want your vote, and your money in taxes, regulatory fees, and donations. And once entrenched, they enrich themselves, their families, and their cronies, and they demand even more money and even more regulation and even more tribute and even more control over their serfs.”

  4. When I watch the three ring circus over the firing of Comely it becomes evident there is a very large contingent that has a vested interest in preserving and enhancing the status quo . Similar to the climate scare , no evidence needs to be presented , they only have to say it is so . How do I know there is no evidence ? If they had some ,it would be top story 24/7 on every major media outlet . They are aghast that Trump may have taped his conversations with Comely . Trump is smart enough to cover his ass .

  5. Two tips in one:
    1. What I discovered about an unplayable link on my iPad mini (for aggravated non tekkies, and with apologies to eye-rolling geeks).
    2. The drop dead gorgeous Elina Garanca, the great Latvian mezzo soprano, in a Mozart recording session.
    This link wouldn’t play.

    Then I accidentally spotted the same link with this added on the end: &app=desktop.
    So I put the shorter link I had on hand in the navigation pane and edited it by adding the tag mentioned above.

    VOILA!

  6. Still watching with great amusement and enjoyment, along with a tinge of alarm as the versimilitudinous Trump melodrama runs its’ sure to be epic course.
    Even more entertaining is watching the Media being disrobed in public, their tiny principles being exposed to all; as understanding comes to the hillbillies from Kentuck to the Beverlies.
    Alas, the schadenfrude is accompanied by the woeful realisation that Canucks are (insert various descriptive epithets here).
    Because Trudeau.

  7. AGW RIP.
    “… and pictures of Barack Obama gazing at shriveling glaciers,…”
    …-
    “Trump is deleting climate change, one site at a time
    The administration has taken a hatchet to climate change language across government websites. Here are several of the more egregious examples”
    “One of the starkest alterations to the White House’s website following Trump’s assumption of office was the scrapping of an entire section on climate change, stuffed with graphs on renewable energy growth and pictures of Barack Obama gazing at shriveling glaciers, to be replaced by a perfunctory page entitled “An America first energy plan”.”

  8. Mother of Jesus! When are people going to realize that Trump is insane? In 100 years from now, they are still going to be saying that he’s still alive and hiding in Argentina with Elvis, Hitler and Jimmie Hoffa!
    Of all the intelligent people that could have led the Republicans to victory, they chose the one that fell out of the back of the truck head first. There had to be a price to pay for that. Sadly, it may be an all out nuclear war!! But what the hell. In 100,000 years from now, it’ll start all over and maybe the second time we’ll get it right.
    Or will we?????????????

  9. Was wondering if it was me, and I’m becoming too old and overly sensitive, but that cop series set in Montreal, 19-2, are they pulling a BBC and attempting to mainstream pedophilia? The entire shows is sort of written as if it were meant to excite teenage boys, simulated sex of every ilk in every PC combination including lesbian fellatio in a public venue. I mean…really? But Season 2, Episode 9 is sort of the pedophilia culmination with the most sympathetic series character receiving the most sympathetic treatment. Interesting and troubling. I’m done with it.

  10. Thanks for the link. It’s always a thrill to listen to a talented singer I’d never heard of before, especially if he or she sings Mozart.

  11. Dem talking over points: Scandal. Two scandals in one!! Apparently Comey should have been fired, except when he was; sure that make sense eh?
    “Anonymous sources say Comey was asking for more money for his Russia probe. Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe says no. People close to the Justice Department say Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein threatened to quit because Trump cited him in his decision. Rosenstein says it never happened. Sources in the FBI say morale is at a new low because of Comey’s firing — but the press has been reporting the FBI’s morale low for months because of Comey’s actions!”
    Remember the Watergate reporters meeting Deep Throat in a garage and then painstakingly backing up his assertions with high-level sources until a phalanx of editors felt they had the story solid? These modern clowns are in the garage talking to the parking valet and then running with it. Jose says Trump’s going to be impeached! What a bunch of knuckleheads.”
    Oh look, a racist remark. Then again, focus on that so relevant facts don’t matter, just as Marx envisioned for the (deep) sate – truth simply withers away.

  12. And pray tell, what qualifies you to discuss anything more serious than belly button lint?

  13. Sask, DJT is a product of the media, not we GOP voters. I caucused here in Iowa. Several candidates had enthusiastic support. The media made it all Trump, all the time.

  14. You’re talkin stoopid again. Probably time for a new SDA handle. What’s it been? Six months already?

  15. I just randomly went through the last 6 months of archives lookin’ for your handle. I even looked under ”assholes.” Nothin’ there either!! Must be quite recent!!

  16. The same Ph.D that qualifies you to kiss Trump`s ass when deep down inside you know he’s the greatest idiot to ever cast a shadow in the Oval Office. I won’t go into blowing belly button lint. But while you’re down there……………..
    I was commenting on Trump. Last time I looked he had an approval rating of
    35-41%. The average approval rating of the past 9 presidents in May of their first year in office was 63.3%. JFK was at 75%.
    Enjoy.
