I was just going to comment on the goonish look. This guy looks like he means business. He may be wearing a weirdly cut noble's shirt that looks like it's on backwards, but how this guy got and kept power probably involved connecting maces and faces.

I'm at home packing up my possessions. I took a break to watch a good pre-Code Edward G. Robinson movie about tabloid journalism ruining innocent lives, called "Five Star Final. It's melodramatic, but I don't mind; melodrama is just concentrated emotion if it's handled correctly.
Whole lotta drinking and smoking in this flick. It was made a few months before Prohibition was repealed. "God gives us heartache, and the Devil gives us whiskey," says Robinson's character before he downs another shot.

For the encore, they re-created their early high school gymnasium-playing days, with a real basketball hoop and the stage decorated like a gym. They wore 70s clothes and broke out the double-necks and played a mini-set of the early stuff.
I just sat there thinking, is there any more memorable way to go out than, after an already killer set, to take it back to the beginning like that for a little final reminiscing with the fans. It was awesome in the truest sense of the word.

Carnations can mean various degrees of love or affection, but I don't know how old that tradition is. I wondered if it was a heraldic image myself, but since the man isn't named, I doubt it.

The artist's skill is obvious and less wooden than other painters of that period. This reminded me of the Mona Lisa with the bold figure in the foreground and receding countryside as the background. The delicate flower against the very masculine figure seems odd but there may be a meaning I'm missing. The thumb ring, in the same way, seems odd as well but thumb rings always look awkward to me.
The artist's Wiki page has a copy of a Solario sketch in colored chalk which I think indicates his talent more than the oils.

Things we would consider effeminate today were considered manly back then. This was the height of the Renaissance, a period of rediscovered Humanism. They endevered to appreciate the beauty and experience of life and its pleasures--nature and its beauties, for example. A delicate flower juxtaposed with a specimen of manliness could show that this man is a truly of the Renaissance zeitgeist.
Also, could be a subtle idea of his care for a delicate flower of the human female kind. Flowers also represented female sexuality. He could be in the market. That it's a carnation, he may be advertising that he's just not in it for the sex. I doubt it, but that's could be what he wants to portray.

Now that was good and obscure!
as to the whining Tulsi Gabbard was doing, that should pretty much eliminate her in the eyes of anyone on the conservative side here, as some have. Trump hasn't actually made any moves yet with response to the situation, other than to hold talks with our allies in the region. Something will probably happen, but we don't know what.
But Tulsi has shown once again that even though she may not be as idiotically liberal as some other candidates, she's still a whore for Iran, and always has been. Just like Valerie Jarrett.
That's why she was so chummy with Assad.

grammie, In 1991 I covered for our local newspaper a concert with Vince Gill, Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks. Trisha had just released her first hit. I got to interview Vince after his part of the show. The nicest guy on the planet and so incredibly talented. I love his singing but his skill on guitar is beyond outstanding. It was a horribly hot and humid day and he just kept graciously answering reporters' questions.
Look for duets with Vince and Alison Krauss on Youtube. Sheer heavenly music.
BTW, Trisha had recently released her first hit and I got to interview her as well. She was a sweetheart.
Garth put on a great show but wasn't available for interviews. He had to run to another concert and his bus pulled out right after the concert.

A New Zealand man made an unusual call for help as he went into work to get fired.
Thompson brought a support clown to his firing and has become a viral sensation.
According to media reports in New Zealand, Thompson suspected he was facing the axe at the advertising agency where he worked. He was told he could bring a "support person" and decided to bring a support clown.
The New Zealand Herald reported "Joe The Clown," a professional clown, by the way, made balloon animals as Thompson was told he was being let go, while making a suitably mournful face.
The clown mimed crying as Thompson's employers slid the paperwork across the table and made a balloon unicorn and poodle to lighten the mood.

Tulsi Gabbard called out Trump on Twitter, saying being Saudi Arabia's

Trump is his deference to The Kingdom. Plus this whole Iran attacked
Saudi Arabia, therefore we must go to war stinks to high heaven.
Posted by: Augustine at September 17, 2019 09:58 AM (BDZWU)
This is what they call Realpolitk. I don't think Trump or anyone else in the US govt thinks the Saudis are our BFFs. But they are the key power in opposition to Iran in the region, so it pays to side with them.
Iran is our real enemy and the main troublemaker in the ME and the wider world. And they are growing more powerful every day. The Saudi's, while not perfect, at least play ball with us for the most part and have been a fairly loyal ally to America in that part of the world. There are small steps at reform happening there as well.
They are in many ways the far lesser of two evils.

They are trying to undermine our elections by corrupting the voting process and state secretaries.
They are using Congress as a vessel to attack the legitimate president of the United States and his family.
Their entire agenda is based on taking liberty from the people, and replacing it with an authoritarian, despotic government.

I have no illusions about Gabbard's many other bad positions. I just found it interesting that Gabbard was hitting Trump from the Right, being that the Right these days is mostly war-weary and non-interventionist. Or, at least I am. It was one of the big reasons I voted for Trump and I will be doing so again in 2020 btw. I think he's done as good a job as anyone at resisting the military industrial complex. Trump even acknowledged that there is such a thing in an interview with FOX a few months back. So anytime I hear we need to go to war I am justifiably skeptical. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Say you get 20 gallons, that's $1.60 savings, while spending 10-15 minutes in line. Which means you value your time at $6-7 an hour. You're paying yourself less than minimum wage.

We should note that Trump has NOT jumped and done anything at all yet, except talk to regional allies. If Bolton were still in the administration, missiles would be flying.
In looking at what's going on, I think great caution is warranted because it is clear that Iran *Wants* to provoke us into launching an attack. Why? What is their game? They keep pushing and pushing, started with shooting down the naval drone, mining the tankers, now this - but what is their game? Why are they trying so hard?
When your enemy is trying to push you into doing something and you don't really understand why (I admit I can't fathom Iran's strategy here) then Caution is to be greatly advised. Never give your enemy what he wants unless you are absolutely sure you know what all of his plans and capabilities are.

We should note that Trump has NOT jumped and done anything at all yet, except talk to regional allies. If Bolton were still in the administration, missiles would be flying.
In looking at what's going on, I think great caution is warranted because it is clear that Iran *Wants* to provoke us into launching an attack. Why? What is their game? They keep pushing and pushing, started with shooting down the naval drone, mining the tankers, now this - but what is their game? Why are they trying so hard?
When your enemy is trying to push you into doing something and you don't really understand why (I admit I can't fathom Iran's strategy here) then Caution is to be greatly advised. Never give your enemy what he wants unless you are absolutely sure you know what all of his plans and capabilities are.

My guess is that they believe America doesn't have it in itself anymore for either regime change or winning a war, so the kind of conflict that they're hoping to incite is one they can manage.
The other side, again, I guess, is PR. If America puts boots on the ground in Iran for whatever reason, Europe may be more likely to side with Iran, robbing the US of any sort of international support for the measure. This could feed into the US getting into a fight it has no intention of winning, combined with increased sympathy from European allies (who are, perhaps, telling Iran behind the scenes just this) and Iran could end up with minimal military loses but increased freedom after the aborted American actions.
I guess.

I've watched the first two episodes of Country Music, the Ken Burns documentary. Absolutely fascinating, and I've learned a ton. It is very even handed in which is simply states and shows photos of minstrels shows, complete with all the black face, but describes the shows in how they contributed to the furthering of bringing black and African music into the genre from the beginning. It doesn't shy away from discussing the singing brought by slaves, but it doesn't freak out about it. It matter of fact explains how it is part of country and especially gospel.
The photos, recorded music from the 20s and 30s and the occasional movie reels are amazing. The episode tonight will start at the end of the 30's and the WWII era. I highly recommend it, NO COMMERCIALS , the two hours are shown straight through on PBS. Additionally, the documentary cuts in to current and elderly country stars who quietly describe what they have been told by those passed on about the eras. Roseann Cash and Merle Haggard's interviews are great.

I strongly suspect that Iran is following advice given to them by John Kerry and Valerie Jarrett. And the news out this morning is that oil prices are falling because oil production will be restored quickly. That means that this was NOT a majorly destructive attack - which means that it must have been done for Political reasons, not military or economic reasons. Again, Iran is playing a game here with every move they make.
