United States for Sale

Well, it gets much grimmer by the day.

James Comey was nobody's favorite. He pissed off all sides, which was the one thing that kind of held things together. Democrats were afraid of who Trump would put in if they went after Comey. Republicans were afraid of losing their party and power by pushing him out while an investigation was going on.

The one thing that American is now united on is that Donald J Trump is the most incompetent idiot the world has ever seen.

We are on a path to either the destruction of our Democratic processes, or the salvation of them. It's way too soon to see if this will play out as it did with Nixon, but make no mistake: The White House is willing to do whatever it takes to consolidate the power and ability of Trump to function on whatever whim takes him.

One thing is clear from history. The unchecked aggregation of political power by a single individual results in destruction that shakes the world. The world has been full of dictators and their slovenly sycophantic supporters.

Next up is undoubtedly the reopening of the Clinton Email and the perp walk of Hillary Clinton in handcuffs.

"Lock Her Up!, Lock Her Up!, Lock Her Up!"

We know where Der Fuehrer Trump stands. He made it clear and he tolerates no dissent, no objection to his childish demands to be the only person in the world.

Fascism is on the march. Republicans are in total political control.

We now find out if there are any people of honor and patriotism left in the Republican Party.

The Friendship Blog

I've been blog AWOL for over a week and it's mostly Brad Herran's fault for coming to visit. Sure I asked him, and he came, so I guess it's really my fault. When two friends are at fault together, it becomes a good. Brad and I were roommates in college and best friends. The first year, 1972-73, we were in adjoining rooms in Bury Hall . I shared a room with Jim "The Missing" Link and Brad sharing with Greg "The Horniest Preacher on Earth" Givili. I was a junior and he was a freshman, and I did exactly what I was supposed to do: I corrupted him from his mid-west sensibilities into a full blown reprobate. The next year we shared "The Dungeon." The Dungeon was the last room on a dead-end hall with no escape except by the central stairwell. We adorned the room appropriately. Bunk beds broken down to make two singles. Window glass painted with blue tempera paint, casting a black-light like glow across the room, and making it hard for C

Comey-o, Comey-o! Wherefore art thou Comey-o?

Former FBI Director James Comey Well it looks like as early as next week James Comey will begin to testify before Congress and the American people. I feel like I'm back in college, sitting with my roommate Brad, watching Senator Sam Ervin run the Watergate Hearings. They were broadcast live, gavel to gavel on both TV and Radio, by PBS. Sam Ervin was a racist. He was not alone in that philosophy. Back then people were more open about it because large swaths of the country were openly racist. Sam Ervin was also a hero. Born in 1896 in North Carolina, he served and was decorated in World War I. But that isn't what made him a true hero. He was elected to the North Carolina House of Representatives in 1922 and also served as county attorney for Burke County, when a black man was wanted for the killing of a white girl and was declared a "outlaw" under state law, which meant any citizen had the right to kill him on sight. The man, Broadus Miller was shot and k

Momentum on side of 15-year-old physics major - The Oregonian

This is a story that reminds us of what the human race is capable of. It Appeared in today's Oregonian by Samantha Swindler, copyright 2017 Grant Harter has always been ahead of the curve. At age 11, his home school curriculum included geometry, astronomy, anatomy, chemistry and — for good measure — ballroom dancing. At 12, he earned his first college credits through Advanced Placement testing. At 13, he enrolled in Clark Community College. At 14, he entered Portland State University as a junior. And this Sunday, he’ll graduate with a major in physics, a minor in math and University Honors. At 15, he is the youngest bachelor’s recipient ever at Portland State. Yet until recently, most of his classmates and professors had no idea the shy, 6-foot-2- inch student was so young. “I think a lot of people just haven’t really been able to tell,” Harter said. When classmates or professors find out his age, “There’s generally some surprise there. Some people are like, ‘Oh wow
