Press Panic

Sunshine and bright objects this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as thin, high clouds appear to be floating away, at least according to the observation from my back patio. Another ascertainment off the horrid entertainment last night, and current state of the union: ‘“I don’t think you can say that we don’t get it…

Berning Ambition

Light drizzling rain this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we hunker down for more ‘conveyor-belt’ action. According to the NWS this morning, three to six inches of rain could drench us heavily on-and-off until Saturday, creating flash flooding, especially with low-lying byways — poetic warning from our weather-service people: ‘It can be impossible…

A new poll out this morning displays our business-classic laissez-faire attitude toward it: However, fewer than one in four Americans are extremely or very…

Debate Heads

Another debate-episode this evening in the creepy-clownish GOP traveling circus — via the Guardian‘s live blog of the event, and The Donald’s closing statement: Our country doesn’t win anymore. We used to. We lose on trade, we lose with Isis. With Iran. We don’t win. These folks, CNBC. $250,000 for a 30-second ad. Nobody wants to…
