I apologize for not posting much lately. My mother died last week. That is no excuse  and I'm not asking for sympathy, but it's been quite a challenge keeping up with her illness and the numerous friends, relatives and workers involved. A joy to be with family, but to be on one's best behavior for so long? Little joke there.

You've got a plethora of good links in your cubbyhole here. Here's that black minister who dared to utter a few truthful if unwanted sentences about Obummer in a public speech:

Ben Carson: ‘I had my first encounter with the IRS’ after challenging Obama 

.......Richard Nixon is still one of the most reviled men in modern history for exactly such outrages as using the IRS to punish his political opponents -- but for Obummer there's no hint of stigma from the establishment left (which still promotes Nixon hatred) or right (which supposedly exists to denounce Dummacrats). He gets to not only continue the worst features of Bushism but ape every sin any Republican Pezident has committed. He has good intentions, see. That makes everything forgivable..... and already forgiven before he does it.

.......For anybody who's been missing Waller's constructive negativity, get this!

US adults are dumber than the average human  

I wonder if that headline, besides being concisely accurate, is worded with the theme from the old Yogi Bear TV cartoon series in mind "Yogi Bear is smarter than the average bear"? Yogi is a sneak who would rther others provide for him, not a bad figure for what's become of the amreiKan dream.
