Deep within the bowels of CNN, far underground, down rough concrete hallways beneath humming fluorescent lights a group struggles, dragging a howling spitting Ewok along.
"What the devil is wrong with this Teddy Bear?" one asks.
"I think it's a Monchichi," another replies.
The Ewok stiffens in rage and then snaps and snarls fiercely.
"Whatever it is, it's smelly."
"And mean."
"Alright, in here, buddy. I don't know what you were jub-jubbing all over the tv, but I bet it was offensive to one of the 77+ genders reported by our core viewing audience. For that you get a little dose of HR."
With that the Ewok is shoved into a room and the door is bolted. The group retraces their steps, the Ewoks howls blending in with the cries of the Mad Wolf Blitzer and of the damned.
Speaking of the damned - in a cell next to the Ewok Brad continues to recite in a monotonal voice "I am a man and I am unworthy of existing in a world of delicate fragility inhabited by beings of wondrous delight such as you."
"AGAIN!" shrieks a fat woman, her jowls wobbling in seismic tremors of rage her purple and green hair half covering her eyes as the pointless tattoos cover her blubberous flesh. "AGAIN you masculine beast! You must get the grovel into your voice! I, Leather Pithairia, Supreme Ministerix of HR Command!"
Meanwhile, far away, in a sun filled city of alabaster buildings two men emerge from a bush.
"There, Francois, you see how I get close to the target without him knowing I am around. These techniques of surveillance are crucial when you become a special investigator like moi."
"But Chief Inspector Mueller, was it necessary to crawl the entire length of the Mall?"
"Certainly, you fool. How else would I be able to properly use my magnifying glass if I am not close to the ground?"
"And why do you have French accent like the late Peter Sellers used to do?"
"Quiet! The target approaches."
Francois mutters to himself "I saw that a mile off."
The pair duck down as an elephant walks down the mall. From the howdah on its back Trump gestures, making conflicting statements on various subjects as a crowd of legislators, Democrat and Republican writhe, clutching their heads in agony.
"AHHHH! The conflicts!" one wails.
"It is too much!" another whines.
"Will he ever just say one thing and stick with it," whimpers a third.
"I thought I could weasel-word, but with the Golden Scalp Weasel he can say all things to all people and have them angry and happy at once!"
"DACA! Gun Control! Global Warming! For! Against! Up is down is sideways and Pythagorean Theorem! Let it stop!"
The elephant walks on as the legislators fall.
"That should take care of them until happy hour," Trump states, ceasing his flow of blather. "I love doing that to these guys, they never learn to just stop their ears and watch to see where I'm going. By the way - where are we going? I mean, the elephant is a nice touch, but it is slower than the limo."
The Golden Scalp Weasel chitters.
"Fort Marcy Park? Why am I meeting my head of spies out there?"
More chittering from the Golden Scalp Weasel.
"You got a secret message? Well if you can't trust secret messages from cloaked and masked agents, then who can you trust? Let's go."

And that isn't stopping the Fascists from using this as a reason to ban 30 round magazines...something that wasn't even used.
The reasoning is that the murderer's gun jammed because of his frequent reloads, which wouldn't have happened if he had 30 round magazines because guns never jam except right after a reload.
So because he didn't have them, lives were saved.
Sigh.

"In Dicks Sporting Goods Infinite Wisdom, they have decided to stop selling assault weapons, as well as raise their minimum age to 21. As a direct result, soldiers can no longer buy firearms from Dicks anymore. Since they have such a massive hard on to punish military, and military vets, we have decided to blacklist them as a supplier. We are now in need of a supplier for 300 firearms, 30,000 rounds, and cold/wet weather gear as part of our private security efforts. If you are a firearms vendor, please contact me."
This is how you fight back. And I have been saying forevah, gun manufacturers have to do the same thing. California wants to ban guns for civilians fine. We will no longer sell any law enforcement agency guns in California. Go police the streets of Compton with kives and billy cliubs.

I love fantasy stuff as much as the next guy, but for some reason I have always avoided Robin Hood stuff and King Arthur stuff.Watched half of the Costner Robin Hood movie and it was dreadful because 1. Robin Hood and 2. COSTNER!
In the case of Arthur, it all seems part and parcel of the whole "Some people are born kings an everyone else was born to kiss the kings.....ring", mentality. Some Kings are just more benevolent than others.
I think that was Churchill. who said it best, "Big deal, so some watery tart threw you a sword, that's not a rational basis for creating a political ruling structure. "

I've argued for a while we need to stop writing exceptions into gun laws for LEOs, retired LEOs, and LEO agencies.
It'd be nice to get law enforcement unions to fight against gun laws instead of foisting them on us for a change.

One of the semi-recent Robin Hood movies (I think the Russell Crowe one) apparently started out as a film about the Sherriff of Nottingham, casting him in a much more sympathetic (and interesting) light.
But then, no, Holywood decided you can't have innovation or anything clever, and made it a bog-standard Robin Hood film.
Robin Hood and the King Arthur legends are great because there's so many different versions and variations. Sometimes a new element sticks, and shows up in later versions, sometimes an old or forgotten aspect reappears.
(Also why I like reading about urban legends and how they shift.)

"The Cosner Robin Hood blew chunks. The Russel Crowe Robin Hood was the best one since Errol Flynn."
The piece of work that is on a Robin Hood theme and yet is far, far better than any of the Robin Hood versions is "Ivanhoe". I'm partial to the 1952 film version with George Saunders, but the 1997 miniseries was worth watching as well.

I don't think they are nearly that specific on making a point. Easy money markets have been manipulated for a long time, and zero interest policy and $4+ trillion in QE was psycho policy.
"Tariffs" is not new news, and the markets turned on Tuesday after interest rate hike talk. Not to mention this has been a relief rally from the actually pretty crazy run from 18,000 to 26,500.
But "they" would love to blame Trump is the globalist market base returns to sanity. We should focus on bringing jobs to Americans, not paper gains for Wall Street. imo

LOVE this painting and anything by Wyeth. The depth of color in the sky and Arthur's red clothing, the sheen and shadow on the armor, the positions and stance of the men, it is so evocative of their mood and the story. Wyeth has the ability to show fierce expressions on his characters that is wonderful. Think of the pirates in his Treasure Island illustrations. The only one I have seen match that is Fratzetta. I wonder if he was inspired by the Wyeth figures.

---------------------------------------
See, this is the issue: Tariffs protect specific industries, including shareholders and banks on Wall Street, at the expense of jobs and the general wealth of middle America. Economists of every political strip would probably agree on that statement. Free trade brings jobs to Americans in greater numbers than tariff protection.
But I get that Trump has a political commitment to enact tariff protections. It's a stupid move, economically, and it endangers the economy as a whole, but hopefully our trading partners get that retribution against us would hurt them too. The argument "they do it and worse" might have some force too.

"After Alan Greenspan ignored the NASDAQ bubble, it crashed and led to this incredible foray into negative real rates. That created the mortgage bubble, which was initially ignored by Ben Bernanke and ultimately spawned the financial crisis, leading us to fiscal and monetary measures that were unfathomable 20 years ago."

This is one I like to share. You have to be in decent shape to do it for long, but these suits were pretty mobile and functional.
https://youtu.be/qzTwBQniLSc
Part of the problem is that most of the surviving suits were not combat armor, but display or ceremonial, or for jousting, which were significantly heavier and less mobile. For show rather than go.
So in the past, people came to understand that armor was all like that, and miserable to move around in.
There's a scene in Excalibur where two knights are fighting and eventually both become so tired they can barely lift their arms: that's what swinging a 5-10 pound sword in 50 pounds of armor will do to you after a while. But you can get on a horse without a crane and get back up off the ground without any problem.

No, I was referring to the idea that you had to have a crane to get on your armor, not the concept of Arthur and his knights.

The primary distinction is one of intent. If the object is to arouse in the viewer the desire to buy a book or a magazine, then that cover illustration is an example of commercial art. Note I didn't say Wyeth's painting was commercial art. I said it looks like it.
The highest goal of fine art--and that which separates it from commercial art--is elevation. El Greco's paintings of Christ and the Apostles are, for example, an attempt to create the means by which men may feel closer to God. It isn't confined to religious paintings, but that's the first example that comes to my mind.
Art isn't what hangs on the wall or stands in the round. It's what goes on in the minds and hearts of those viewing/experiencing it.

But I get that Trump has a political commitment to enact tariff protections. It's a stupid move, economically, and it endangers the economy as a whole, but hopefully our trading partners get that retribution against us would hurt them too. The argument "they do it and worse" might have some force too.

Tariffs are good to protect industries that are of national importance for defense and self reliance. It is one thing to get cheap textiles or plastic crap from another country, it is another to devastate critical industries that will be needed in war and economic freedom.
Second Tariffs are good as a way to teach other countries to play fair with our goods. You do not get respect if you don't play hardball.
Pure free traders thought for example it would make China more democratic and friendly. How has that worked out? Pure free traders also thought the same thing with Nazi Germany. How did that work out?

They have always promoted a healthy lifestyle. But weight loss is still their main goal and I don't think that will change.
I've used the program and am currently on it. Lost 46 pounds 30 years ago. I'm currently trying to lose 25.
Weight Watchers wasn't at fault for my weight gain. They taught me what I needed to do. I didn't stick with the lessons they taught me.
And yes, smaller portion, less fat and sugar plus exercise is the answer.

I'm a lifetime WW , having reached goal weight about 25 years ago. I still have all the old books and points calculators and Mr. Jen and I use that as our weight loss method when we fall off the wagon and start packing on pounds.
The early programs were great, they actually worked and were simple to follow. Proteins, low carb, limited fat, very limited alcohol, 8 glasses of water a day. Don't eat out much, if you do, ask for a take out box when you order and put half your dinner in it when it arrives to take home. Weigh and portion your food.
It takes discipline, but if I can do it, when I love everything with flour in it, anyone can do it.
Then, the marketers got a hold of WW and every year it is a different "program" with different gimmicks and frozen foods, and "free points", BS. They have destroyed the program, IMO. It has so much freedom in it that it no longer works because everyone cheats because they are encouraged to do so.

Well, not so much stuck as unable to move very quickly and effectively. Which would have affected unarmored light infantry as well, but the British stayed behind simple, quickly erected fortifications and used their archers to cut down the slow moving, awkward knights.

Anyway. WW changes their system every few years-- partly to keep up with the science, partly to fix loopholes people (being people) found, but also because they're a business.
I was on PointsPlus ~5 years ago, and it worked for me. The meetings didn't help much, just the rules and self-discipline. Other people (not to generalize, but women more than men) are more affected by social pressure, and so the meetings help them stay on track.
After the first few weeks or so-- once you have the tools and the theory and whatnot-- you can do it yourself. You're paying for the support after that, really.

It has nothing to do with defending Sessions. It has to do with looking at the bigger picture.
When Trump goes in to negotiate about guns and starts talking about things like taking guns without due process I hear an awful lot of people explaining that it is really 11th dimensional chess and you need to watch what Trump does not what he says.
But he fires off a tweet about Sessions and of course it is meant to be taken literal and nobody should wonder why he hasn't either ordered Sessions to do something or fired him, both of which are available options and Trump sure as hell isn't shy about firing people.
Read his tweet more carefully. He now has the media talking about FISA abuse and waiting on the IG report and if he hasn't been told that the IG has been investigating this for months already he's probably astute enough to figure it out.
Sessions works for Trump. He was the first prominent figure to back Trump and Trump ran on and is implementing his immigration plan via Stephen Miller. If he wanted Sessions gone he would be unless you think this is one area Trump is totally being played.

The full caption reads:
"I am Sir Launcelot du Lake, King Ban's son of Benwick, and knight of the Round Table."
Surely Arthur knows the knights of the round table, so his opponent is someone other than Arthur.

It is simple, deficits in trade that get converted into China buying American assets (property, or business assets here, or our stock exchanges) ... they are CONQUERING, not trading.

----------------------------------
Our economic history proves the opposite. The U.S. government use to be funded by tariffs to protect our industries from British competition. The British then became free traders themselves and ended up relying on the United States for the basics in two World Wars.
If you allow foreign competitors to destroy your critical industries at home you will lose wealth in the long run and be dependent on them for critical resources in times of crisis and war. Worse, many of those countries like China make this part of the strategy to win military dominance.
The finial point is free trade has led to international organizations, companies, and so called "citizens of the world". These globalists have done a lot to erode our liberties at home, undermine our constitution, and to put it bluntly are loyal in the international community and not in the U.S.
I would rather be a little poorer and free, then wealthier and a slave. Free Trade is not free if it means losing personal freedoms at home.

It incorrectly receives blame for 'making the depression worse'.
The truth of the matter is that international trade causes an economic distortion that is corrected when tariffs are reimposed and eventually the countries involved return to their natural state of war. That correction, like all economic corrections, tends to be painful for people who made investments on the presumption that it would somehow all work out forever.

Simpler question... and one that can't be answered.
If it better to make 100 billion in profits, but have 100 Billion trade deficit and thus export that wealth to another country?
Or is it better to make 50 Billion, and keep that wealth in your own country, thus helping your own economy?
I will note... that we have had large trade deficits since the 90s.... and Middle Class Wages have been pretty flat, since then...
Businesses have been making money... GDP has grown... lots and lots of new very RICH people...

Welfare rates (granting that it should even exist) are too damned high. And you can be sure that the Government jobs involved in administering and doling out that welfare pay a lot more than 40 G's a year.

If you think it's art, it is. If not, it's not. I think what he was referring to was the general art-world distinction between "High Art" and "Low Art".

Right now, there are tens of thousands of tariffs levied in the USA on every imaginable product that's imported as are in other countries we export to.
Here is the link to the US International Trade Commission and it's current data base of Tariffs.

Also search for military planning for assaulting Disney World. The planning for shelling the It's A Small World ride is hilarious.

But, also what would Lancelot do with that biplane? Let's assume he has one full tank and one ammo belt for the Maxim gun. Oh, and he knows how to land safely...
I'm thinking King Lancelot.

Last year the EU put big tariffs on imported steel, like 30% big. I don't seem to recall a lot of hair on fire over that.

Cinderella Castle is the worldwide-recognized icon of the Disney empire. Physical representations of it stand at the center of two Disney Parks: Walt Disney World in Florida (state), and Tokyo Disneyland.
Assuming it were an actual fortress, how would you take it?
Sergeant Jon Davis, USMC, decided to take a crack at an operational plan. Below is the (slightly redacted) plan of attack:
Phase 1:
A ground must be chosen in which you can quickly secure a foothold into the Magic Kingdom. This position must be easily accessible for the invasion force, provide cover and concealment for the troops and give strategic advantage once taken while depriving the enemy of the same.

The idea is to help protect and improve the 9 integrated mills that are existing here in the USA and the 102 mini mills scattered across the country.
Mr. Jen works in a support industry to steel which is why I am very familiar with these numbers and facts.
We are currently the world's largest importer of steel. For more data that's factual, see this link

I didn't speak artspeak jibber-jabber. I made it as succinct as I could. The idea I was sharing came from my mentor, Ellie Siskind, a cranky little old Jewish lady who is a prominent, nationally recognized painter whose works hang in galleries. I suppose someone shared the idea with her. Ellie is something of a big deal.
The term 'elevation' in the context of art is commonly known and used. No jibber-jabber there, either. It's true you might experience elevation while on a nature walk but we weren't talking about nature walks. We were talking about art, man-made objects.

I don't think they are called "junk yards" anymore, but for the sake of accuracy, that's what I call 'em.
