Prolific seed maker. Plant a cleome, and you have them for life. Unless they're competing with the mint you got from a neighbor.
Brown University will offer segregated student dinners for brown students
"The university received a $30,000 grant from the Association of American Colleges and Universities, which ... will go towards hosting racially and religiously segregated 'dinner discussion groups'" to "allow the women to engage in topics such as the intersection of race, Islam and gender fluidity", which a very important subject because "intersection".

'The strongly worded letter(!), titled "Boycott the Alt-Right @UCBerkeley", asks that students, instructors and employees cancel classes, close buildings and "not penalize students who are afraid to come to campus" from Sept. 24 to 27.'
They're afraid to come to campus because of that scary Milo guy. The heartbreak of Milophobia.
Warren Buffett wins $1M bet made a decade ago that the S&P 500 stock index would outperform hedge funds.
I hear Laura Ingraham is getting a new show on Fox News at 10pm and Hannity's getting the 9pm slot to go head to head with Maddow.
Apparently the Lefty press has their undies in a twist down in St. Louis. Last night the "peaceful" protesters crossed a line and the police started making arrest last bigly. And as they did, some of those police were heard chanting " Whose streets? Our streets!" Good for the men and women in blue, and it's about time!
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean- neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
The website Unz has published a superb article by Mike Whitney, titled "The Russian Hacking Story Continues to Unravel".
Whitney's article is based largely on another new article, titled "Non-Existent Foundation for Russian Hacking Charge", which was written anonymously by a retired IT executive of the IBM corporation.

It took awhile, but the outrage on Morning Joe went from Russia! Russia! Russia! in January to Trump! Golf Ball! Hillary! this morning.
I showed the Trump golf ball GIF to my apolitical spouse this morning and she nearly feel off her chair laughing.
14 more days of regular season MLB baseball. NL Central and AL wild card races should be interesting to watch.

Warren Buffett and I are both from the Jack Bogle school of investing.
All my investments during my employment years were Vanguard Index funds. I have to say, I did extremely well from about 1980 on. Sure there was some bumps along the way that scared me, but following Bogle's advice, I created a portfolio where my family will never have to go hungry.
Index funds baby! I only wish I had more to invest in the early years.

Shots fired after Boardman man in clown mask chases daughter
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio: A man has been charged after chasing his 6-year-old daughter around a neighborhood while wearing a clown mask and another man is charged for firing a gun
Police say the girl first jumped into a stranger’s car and then ran into a stranger’s apartment while screaming that a clown was chasing her in Boardman Township on Saturday night.
Police say a man in the apartment building came outside and fired a gunshot into the ground.
The father told police he chased his daughter to discipline her for behavioral issues instead of spanking her. He’s been charged with child endangering and inducing panic.
Police say the man who fired the gunshot has been charged with using weapons while intoxicated. (end)
file under: behavioral issues, parenting, fail
Yeah, Mike S, there is not only no evidence strongly suggesting that Russia was involved, there is quite a bit of evidence that strongly suggests it wasn't.
I never believed it, but that leaves us all with the question of how and why our intelligence system became so corrupted that it created a document that supported a very unlikely claim.
When you contemplate the vast expansion of domestic spying capabilities in light of the necessary conclusion that the agencies are politically corrupt, it is a terrifying situation.
President Lovely Man presided over a rampant corruption of the bureaucracy of government. I no longer have any respect for him. The IRS, the FCC, the intelligence agencies.... Could anything be more frightening to the average individual?
And why is Congress not investigating this? That's a very good question. It's a question that should be asked publicly and persistently.

Well done! For years I've been pleading with my SO to allow me to bring in Vanguard for our employee retirement plan.
PS: I thought the golf ball gif was hilarious. I too burst out laughing.
Queen of Denial Hillary did not like the slightly critical questions posed by Jedediah Bila on The View last Wednesday. On Thursday the producers made sure Bila knew that they wanted Hillary back as a guest more than they needed the token conservatism (such as a small L libertarian like Jedediah brought to the show) of Bila. On Friday Meghan McCain bid adieu to the Outnumbered cast and crew on Fox to "pursue other options."
So today the threads come together with 2nd-gen RINO McCain taking the token conservative spot on The View and the smart and beautiful Bila leaving to "pursue other options."
Hmmm.
The dream will never die, and the Dreamers will never shut up. Nancy Pelosi would have shed a tear if she had working tear ducts.
Rob,
Except the supposed dreamers were carrying signs that demanded amnesty for 11M. Inch, meet mile.
What are the purple flowers? Asters?
Speaking of language, creative insults....** Reddit has a sub called r/roast me where people ask to be insulted. If Hillary asks....THIS guy has it covered. **Ok...no one was really talking but I couldn't resist.
Ok Hillary, you asked for it!
You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Texas, I’ll bet you couldn’t pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel.
You are a canker. A sore that won’t go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you. You’re a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.
You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.
I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell?
Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.
You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs.
You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You’re a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won’t have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot.
And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?
>>>>>>>>>>>>part two next
Part Two:
You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile, one-handed, slack-jawed, drooling, meatslapper.
On a good day you’re a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.
You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock. You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.
You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away.
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know.
I’m sorry. I can’t go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don’t have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh.
The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of your of what you wrote, because, well… it didn’t really say anything. Your attempt at constructing a creative flame was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective…
Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us “normal” people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are “challenged” persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn’t have been “right”. Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.
I'm not happy with my Congresswoman, Barbara Comstock, but if this guy is running against her, she's a mortal lock for another teerm.
Please, please, President Trump, don't follow through on your idea of having our military assets parading next 4th. I have visions of goose stepping when I think about it.

Oh my. SO bad it's good, but that's not what you want in a Campaign Ad. Who green-lit that!!?

Because the NAZIs were the only nation in history that has ever held military parades. Ever.
For what it's worth, they're not even the only ones who goosestepped.
Gahrie,
I just don't like the idea of hauling missiles and rocket launchers thru New York to display our beligerance and military might. Too close to what I see from Iran and NK. Point taken though. I think.
@Big Mike. Thanks for posting. One rarely gets to see something so earnestly and self indulgently bad. This candidate's reputation is made. Maybe if he grows a beard and moves to Australia, he can pick up the pieces and start anew.
Trump's inaugural parade was ruined by darkness, so a repeat is in order. July in DC is usually terrible weatherwise though.
The Helmer ad is a good way to get attention that he couldn't afford to buy. So he's a terrible singer--who isn't? At least he has balls. But are Obamacare and PP centrist?
Alright. All google apps are coming off of my phone. I stopped into a hat shop yesterday at the Newport Boat Show, because it was hot and sunny, and now I am getting ads for hats. Who thought that creeping on one's customers was a good idea?
I did see one thing that made me wish I had had a camera ready. A tour bus drove by and the light was such that you could see the passengers clearly and there were five women in a row, seated alone, looking down at the scene out the window in the same way. It looked like a painting. Laslo could have had a field day on that bus, I am thinking
