The presidential sweepstakes are setting off this weekend. The Iranians may yet have a vote.

California is trying to save water due to the drought and that reminds of the stories in 2010 in Milwaukee about who used the most water and for what. It turned out that the poorest parts of the city used the most water because the landlords didn't fix the plumbing so that the water ran constantly in lots of houses. This far outweighed swimming pools and watering lawns.
"Of the 70 single-family homes in Milwaukee that used more than 1 million gallons of water in the past two years, nearly two-thirds are on the near north and near south sides. And a review of those customers' water bills over the past two years shows that most had leaks or broken pipes,"

Maybe California should check and see whether they are losing water this way. 50 to 60 million gallons a year of wasted water is a lot to lose because 50 or 60 sewer pipes are broken. And it would be a cheap and easy fix.

How many single family homes in California are using a million gallons of water every two years due to broken pipes?

One day Californians will wake up to the fact that they are being ruled by children. Of course it would be too late. It is almost the definition of a fool that he realizes what really happened, what the stakes were, and what the game was, after he loses.

They could have built power plants, the denied them all while approving server farm after server farm, then when the electricity runs out, it's everybody's fault but their own.

They let in huge numbers of illegal aliens and swell the population, all the while refusing to build water projects of any kind, and it's "global warming's" fault.

Try living here with the fools in charge. This is an old story in California and I have been here 58 years. It is heartbreaking to see what Democrats have done to this state, let alone the country.

I have also lived here in worse droughts but not with worse politicians.

At U of Michigan, a Muslim Student Unmasks the Hypocrite He Says Vandalized His Apartment

The perpetrator was a liberal activist and decorated campus Muslim leader who said American Sniper promoted violence.

Of course that's not news. Dog bites man.

Oh, and Ann, are there about 1,000 rapes - of females - on your campus each year?

Prof.

The 45 POTUS will reveal herself at 12 PM on Sunday.

GOP will be trash/defeated/humiliated in all 50States plus District of Columbia.

Why?

1. GOP has no women in leadership.
2. GOP has no immigration plan for America.
3. GOP has no love for American Science.
4. GOP does not know minority needs.

Clinton will destroy GOP. Do you know who the Campaign Manager of Clinton is?

He is Mook, the man who is open about his life.

GOP will make so many un-forced errors, like making statements against people.

GOP will fight among itself.

So, Clinton is the 45POTUS by default.

She fooled NY voters by listening tour.

Now, she will fool US voters by listening tour.

My buddies shunned me when I turned to Jesus.

But they didn't.

Others find pleasures in things I despise.

Conservatives see Hillary Clinton; liberals probably see Carly Fiorina's "demon sheep" political ad.

Me? I still see a red-eyed Merv Griffin in hell: link

We'd just indicate to the waitress "A round a' Blue". She'd bring us 4 long neck PBRs for my friend and our dates.

Good memories of The Rose Bowl Bar in downtown Urbana, Il, mid-1970's. Great house band, Sonny Norman and The Driftin' Playboys.

OK, did anyone else hear about Mindy Kaling's brother pretending he was Black to get into med school?

I missed this story. This is going to start being more common.

Freeman Hunt said...

What is supposed to be the social justice basis of discriminating against Asians? Asian privilege? (Ha.) Because popular culture is so supportive of Asians? (Ha ha.) Because there's no history of discrimination against Asians in this country? (Ha ha ha.)

Freeman Hunt asked...

Because their actions mock "acting white"?

Other than that, I got nothing.

Question: could you be a "conscientious objector" to participation (as in a provider of services) in a same sex marriage? I realize NOW that phrase only applies to war but could it be expanded to situations such as I mentioned?

Good night everyone, you've been a wonderful audience....

I haven't filled out a "not a robot" captcha in a long time. Either adblock or flashblock is turning it off or it's not material to posting in the first place.

rhhardin said...

Asians don't follow the oppressed minority narrative, and that points up that there may be a cultural problem with blacks, which would be a bad non-narrative item.

Tap Room ? That is a term you used to hear all over and I think it is making a comeback in the gentrifying urban areas.

My family stories are all about immigrants from western Europe. But when I fill out government forms I sometimes self-identify as black or Pacific islander. It makes me feel exotic. And, so far, I don't have an implanted chip that declares my race so the government takes my word. My feelings about race are the most important thing.
