Holy cow! Talk about an unserious nation!!
Don't worry, Vic, the President will sack all the air traffic controllers now. I know. I've seen this movie before.

Just checking back in for a bit. Happy Father's Day home by myself to me. I went to Lowe's today. :/
Yes, Shredded Chi-You missed Mindful Webworkers video-unless you saw it before-which is good for a laugh-and I would thank him again, but I think he's gone off to bed:
Iraq and Mexico, brought to you by the inheritors of Viet Nam. Now with extra kaboom. Not funny.

si-i-igh! The war in heaven goes on, on earth.
FYI:
Mosul Islamist take-over: Up to 1,000 Christian families have reportedly fled Iraq’s second biggest city “This could be the last migration of Christians from Mosul.”
More links at War News Updates whose editor comments, “From a historical perspective this is an incredible depressing event. Mosul has had a Christian community for almost 1,800 years …. and today …. they are now all gone.”
I’ve come to say, if the Republicans lived up to their principles, I would never have been attracted to “libertarianism” (my version, not RonPaulish libertarian). About Republicans, at one time, I was kind-of like my dad, who I was told said he wouldn’t attend church with us because he knew what impieties the house of hypocrites committed every week. I knew what R’s were supposed to stand for, and they didn’t seem to.
Prejudice against the GOP is often just mouth-frothing insane, no question. Even the less unbalanced will look at the worst R’s and tar the whole party with them, like saying hustler preachers caught with their pants down, or Jonestown, typify Christianity.
And it doesn’t help when so many RINOs and DIABLOs really are shady, crony crooks.
A “liberal,” fooled by the propaganda, might learn to admire core Republicanism by understanding that despite many Republicans’ behavior, its principles best achieve those noble liberal humanitarian intentions. True hardcore Regressives, however, would never appreciate those principles, nor respect solid Republicans like Palin or Cruz or Gowdy, because those full-hearted principles are the utter opposite of the empty ideas of their collectivist tyranny.
The national GOP “leadership” has never learned that uncompromising principle wins elections and strengthens the nation. Or, maybe like their pals “across the aisle,” they do know, they just don’t care.
Party on.
Private, personal, quiet ruminations. Pay no attention.
When I spent a couple of years not eating meat, "private, personal and, most of all, quiet" was my intent. My reasons were, um, some kind of zen or religious thing, y"might say; not political anyway. I was... just trying it out. Yeah, that was it. The early '70s, they were kinky times.
Private and quiet is not always easy when the waitress asks you three times, "Honey, now, you're sure you don't want some bacon or sausage on the side with that?" You get in the habit of just getting some anyway, to not be obvious. But then you leave it, and it's obvious. Or you hide it in a napkin. We didn't have a dog then. (I never hid it, really.)
Dogs and cats are good lessons for vegetarians. Try being a snob about butchered animals while spooning shredded fish or beef-like stew out of cans for the pets! Unless they insist on being like the short-but-funny Goode Family cartoon, with their tortured "vegetarian" dog.
Quiet and private is extra difficult when Mom makes a big deal out of what to make special that's vegetarian for some family gathering. "Anything that isn't meat" is such a difficult concept for some folks. A woman told Milady once she'd never eaten anything vegetarian. A baked potato? Lettuce wedge? Watermelon? Nothing? Ever? It's like vegetarian is some kind of other form of food entirely. They think it's soybeans all the way down, I guess. And, apparently, for some Veggies, it is! Ew, soybeans.
Also, Mom cooks tasty crispy bacon. It's how I think bacon ought to be. I was never so vegetarian I passed that up; grisly undercooked bacon at a greasy spoon, maybe, even today, but not Mom's. But, that's not just meat, that's love.
I had read that some folks supposedly got along okay as vegetarians. But, I didn't know about combining proteins. I didn't know about B vitamin replacement, which caused me serious problems. And I didn't even have a very varied or balanced diet besides the meat.
I was private, personal, quiet, and stupid!
Fortunately, one day, by the Grace of God Almighty, Milady came to visit from the Big City, took pity on me, and made me take B vitamin supplements which cured my worst problems immediately, then she made me stir-fried beef, and chicken enchiladas, and kinds of fish this old Okie had never heard of. I often ponder this profound realization: If I had continued vegetarian, I would never have tasted gyros.
Then we stayed together for forty-five years and had little vegetarian kids. Hahaha. Well, not strictly. We've never grilled up steaks regularly, though. Recovering vegetarians; you never really get over it. 
A relative once asked me if I was vegan. No. So, he said, you still eat eggs? Yeah. So, you don't eat meat but you eat pre-meat. Heh. Yeah.

cth > You’re more than welcome to scroll right on past anything that doesn’t interest you and to refrain from making snarky back-handed compliments.
I don’t know if this Jane Dough intended snark or not, but let’s face it, the scriptural-historical-astronomical studies get pretty arcane, like any esoteric knowledge, unless one has been deeply into it and following it all. I want to follow your work, but scroll past more often than I’d like, so much of it remains “arcane,” for me, anyway, for now.
Count yourself lucky. If I read them more deeply, I’d probably be pummeling you with questions or, much worse, my own tsunami of probably only marginally related thoughts!!
And Dough’s certainly right about your Babe Ruth-like record. The “other things” – about common political matters – being more accessible, are easier to repeat, or otherwise pass along.
“Esoteric” is, at least in my meaning, not a valuation per se, but a reference to being inside a complicated system of understanding I haven’t grasped, and I wish I could find a better way to put that. I’ve been deep into a few esoteric thought-systems myself, from religion to computers.
There’s valuable and there’s worthless, too, and sometimes you have to get pretty deep into something to find out which is which, sometimes beyond reason and perception, with only the Spirit of Truth as your guide.
Often, there’s that gem of divine value hidden deep in the biggest pile of… error. Of course, that’s not a great reward system. Makes one keep digging through piles of… error… for such rare gems, when over at the diamond mine everyone else is picking them up off the ground.
(Heh. Like that?)
authorpreneurs?
Hmmm...
Okay, using that! Well, trying it out.
Every free agent musician with an open guitar case. Some find the good corner, some move up to good-paying gigs, others wonder why they're starving.
The web has been a Godsend for us sufferers of EMTS, Eclectic Multimedia Tourette's-ish Syndrome. Rather than annoying our publisher-superiors for endless rejection slips, or at best being ripped off by Hollywood accounting, we go directly to blegging to and being ignored by the market. Everybody saves!
Web authorpreneurs (using it in a sentence!) don't need a publisher so much as some marketing. Webvertising, funding drives, FaceTwitLink Like +1 embed buy the plushie... it requires work if you want it to pay.
And, Oh! Wow! There're millions of creative bleggers all doing the same thing.
Oh the unleashed humanity!
Save us, mighty editors. Tell us what's good.

Heh. It's easy on the desktop.
I keep looking for the ctrl key on my cell's exotic virtual keyboard, but it just doesn't show up. Hover text? Nope. Preview a link URL? Nope. Very fancy facade, regressive functionality.

FTR, my desktop is protected by Avast (free version), with regular checkups by SpyBot, and if I think there's something they didn't catch, MalwareBytes. I think Avast, already good, has tightened up their net lately on spyware.
I browse with JavaScript off, plug-ins off, cookies off, pop-ups only when asked for (except for preferences set on individual sites). Still, I sometimes forget to turn all that off when leaving some site. I sometimes see Avast has caught an email attachment. but the system seems to be safe....
Of course, my desktop is running Netscape on Win95....
