Jon Ericson said...: Where are the frickin bugs?
It don't seem right. (vernacular); 6/27/16, 11:02 PM
Jon Ericson said...: Wow, either the loonies are wiped out by overextending themselves this weekend, or we are witnessing some sort of enhanced moderation.
Good for you Meade and Ann!; 6/28/16, 12:00 AM
Jon Ericson said...: No one ever called Pablo Picasso an asshole.; 6/28/16, 12:35 AM
Jon Ericson said...: I like Pink.
Let's get this party started.
Or not.
Monday, Monday.; 6/28/16, 12:40 AM
Jon Ericson said...: Oh, now (finally) I get it:
Bugs go into flowers like Madison convention-goers go into heat at the Raddison!
Silly me.; 6/28/16, 12:55 AM
traditionalguy said...: The loonies are in Canada. It's the name of the Canadian one dollar coin, which has the
Full regalia and crown Queen Elizabeth on one side, as all their coins do, and a Loon on the other side.

TheCBC and CNN are all they get. So it's ridicule of Trump all of the time. But they took Brexit easily and well as a good move for England and for them.; 6/28/16, 1:10 AM
Jon Ericson said...: No, No, NOW I get it. Bugs make the world go 'round.
Bugs in the Pink hotel.
Yeah, that must be it!; 6/28/16, 1:10 AM
Jon Ericson said...: O Hai, Trad Guy.
What keeps you up so late?; 6/28/16, 1:21 AM
Jon Ericson said...: Yeah, me too.
At least my doggies appreciate me.
The puss, not so much.
The wife, not at all.; 6/28/16, 1:33 AM
Jon Ericson said...: But I'm bad, so bad.
Thirty years of "fakin it'.
But soon I will make a getaway.; 6/28/16, 1:38 AM
Jon Ericson said...: Yeah, real life is tough.
I envy those who didn't screw up with their mate choices.
At least I have some time to see what I can do about it.; 6/28/16, 2:03 AM
Jon Ericson said...: I don't have any kids.
Wifey doesn't either.
So, off we go into the wild blue yonder.; 6/28/16, 2:11 AM
Jon Ericson said...: And so, goodnight,; 6/28/16, 2:16 AM
Jaq said...: And for Democrats, the exchange exposes once again the absurd amounts of money people in the orbit of the Clintons sometimes seem to rake in just for, well, being in the orbit of the Clintons. “I’d say it’s about $200,000 a year,” Blumenthal said when asked by a committee member how much the part-time work offering up advice and ideas was worth.

“Redacted due to Chairman Gowdy’s refusal to allow release of transcript,” says a footnote to the pages of thick black redaction marks. “If released, the transcript would show that Republicans asked Mr. Blumenthal questions about his relationship with Media Matters, David Brock and Correct the Record.” Brock is a longtime Clinton loyalist, and Correct the Record and Media Matters are among the nonprofits he uses to attack Clinton opponents.

And how did Blumenthal get such a contract? “I have had a very long friendship with the chairman of Media Matters, whose name is David Brock, from before he founded this organization, and I have sustained that friendship. And he asked me to help provide ideas and advice to him and his organizations,” Blumenthal said.

LOL. Media Matters for America is a. Web-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) progressive research and information center...

So I am sure the IRS has been right on top of hunting down it's donors and making each one pay a "gift tax" for giving money to a partisan political operation in the guise of "charity." I am sure that happened. Because it would take a scum as low as Nixon was to attempt to use the IRS for partisan purposes and we all know that Obama is as saintly a POTUS as could be imagined.; 6/28/16, 6:17 AM
Captain Drano said...: Tim, the "dance club" that had a gang related shooting a couple of days ago was a 501c3 too. (Inc. in 2009, if I recall correctly)
Seems all manner of nonprofits were swiftly approved under this admin--unless they were right leaning--rumor has it that many of those are still waiting years and years after application.; 6/28/16, 8:30 AM
David said...: " you can stay up all night talking."

Why do that when you can toss and worry between catnaps.; 6/28/16, 9:02 AM
pm317 said...: Althouse, stop playing with us. That unfocused fuzzy middle is making me sick in the eyes.; 6/28/16, 11:05 AM
Ann Althouse said...: "Althouse, stop playing with us. That unfocused fuzzy middle is making me sick in the eyes."

Okay, look at the next image, in the café put up the next morning... here.

But generally, the focus is telling you where to look. Why try to look at what the camera isn't "looking" at? That's supposed to be accepted as the periphery. Don't fight it. It's not real life so you can't focus on it.; 6/28/16, 11:35 AM
Nichevo said...: "Don't fight it."

Remember that advice.; 6/28/16, 1:52 PM
