Yesterday I heard part of an interview with President Obama, and he was even going on about respect for the Iraqi constitution, possibilities of a coalition government, and so on.

There are 3-4 wars to the death going on in that area, and none of the various parties involved are greatly interested in notions like constitutions or compromising with anyone else at all.

This is largely the predictable result of the policies he has made and followed for the past 5 years, and now it will just have to play itself out. Then maybe the next president can figure out what the U.S. policies should be in the new order of things.

Althouse tags the second photo as "graffiti", yet isn't there a difference between paint-scrawled vandalism and a concerned citizen carefully spelling out a potential obstacle (something the state itself should have done with the appropriate sign)? This confusion of criminal vandalism with Good Samaritanism might make sense in the halls of a Wisconsin law school but to others the tag is rightly seen as an affront. Althouse should use common sense in her tag selections, rather than slyly stir up outrage.; 6/22/14, 10:02 AM
David said...: Hillary has done it again. In an interview with The Guardian, she has explained that the Clintons are not "truly well off" and that therefore she is not an example of "income inequality."

Don't worry. It's a one way bridge. The sign is out of frame.

Either that, or it's a devil's compromise with the plaintiffs' bar who wanted to maintain a 50% chance to sue in the event of injury.; 6/22/14, 11:03 AM

We were driving by it a few days ago and I saw a mess of mechanical garbage tilting, lingering, lurching in the sky like the remote-control planes dads used to fly with their kids on the weekends - only ugly.

Drone. Seriously. First one I've seen locally. Visual non-sequitur.
