Ryan's running in 20

By Flavius on Wed, 04/11/2018 - 11:28pm |

Since Ryan's announced reason for retiring  from  the Speakership is risible , clearly the  real reason is Ryan's belief that  doing so gives him a shot at a better job.

One guess what that isl

But first the pretend explanation.

That he has teen age kids. Many people do.A miniscule % of whom  conclude the onslaught of off- spring adolescence is a rational  pretext for retiring from a good job just before those higher tuition bills start rolling in. No more needs to be said.Let's move on.

As my sainted Aunt Nellie used to say, if you´re looking for Compassion, try the Dictionary. Under C.

Joe and Bonnie get the feeling that things ain´t what they used to be. Because they aren´t...And can´t be. Because when Reagan cut the maximum incremental rate from 70 to 30%, things stopped being what they used to be.

You can´t get 20 lbs into a 10 lbs bag. If the overall growth of national wealth is 3% and that of the upper 50% is 10%......a funny thing happens to Joe and Bonnie´s share. I know because I just tried it using match sticks.

Take it in steps

and saying. And sa....

We are failing #Metoo.

It 's not failing. It 's put the turkey on the table.

The assorted boards from H.Weinstein' s to the Met ,haven' t failed. They tried to deal with a challenge they   shouldn´t have been presented. Didn´ t succeed of course. Did so in a way that sets a dangerous precedent . But they tried.

...must converge.

Wikipedia:

."..............is a collection of short stories written by Flannery O'Conor....The ...eponymous  story derives its name from the work of  Pierre Teilhard de Chardin".

Moat could probably tells us if not all we need to know  at least enough so we could fake it about Teilard de Chardin.

I certainly can't but it's irrelevant because I'm heading in a different direction (sighs of relief from both  readers).

Governor Huckabee ( and daughter) never found any Arkansas evidence of Hillary's crookedness because, say after me :t h e r e   w a s n ' t  a n y. That's the only rational conclusion.

Crooked as  NY Semator? And Pot Hole Al didn't notice?

Well how about trying to guard her State Department  emails? As if  anyone  could  possibly  distort them. Or take them out of context. Or even give them to the russians! Give me a break.

There's a guilty conscience for you.

 Righteously pointed out today

"One last, curious thing. Lewinsky acknowledges that what she did was wrong and that what the President did was a “gross abuse of power,” but she has nothing negative to say here about Hillary’s behavior. Instead, she says, “We watched a First Lady and First Daughter move through the year with grit and grace.” Um, this is the First Lady who graciously called her a narcissistic loony tune and worked behind the scenes to discredit scores of erupting bimbos.

#metoo is wrong

Due process is more important than  helping  women obtain redress for harms they've suffered. Or believe they've suffered.

If NPR, or Google, or GE  is told an  employee thinks she's been harassed. ; or denied promotion ;or whatever, it  should  not   try to fix the problem .

Been there done that. Called "lynching".

Instead It should  help her  to use the legal system. If there's no way to do that  it should do nothing about past events. That's called  "ex post facto ".
