the trailer for Biggest Little Farm reminded me that the 'raw milk debate' is still a thing in America, which reminded me of the time a bunch of West Virginia state legislators passed a bill legalizing raw milk, drank raw milk, then got sick with diarrhea*

*(they insist it wasn't the raw milk but they're probably full of poo poo, figuratively and literally)

Rick Perry being one of Trump's non-awful cabinet appointments because, shockingly, he let his department employees do their jobs.

Can you provide a list of all Department of Energy employees or contractors who have attended any Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Carbon meetings?

Can you provide a list of Department employees or contractors who attended any of the Conference of the Parties (under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) in the last five years?

That, in a nutshell, was the spirit of the Trump enterprise. “It reminded me of McCarthyism,” says Sherwood-Randall.

After Pyle’s list of questions wound up on Bloomberg News, the Trump administration disavowed them, but a signal had been sent: We don’t want you to help us understand; we want to find out who you are and punish you. Pyle vanished from the scene. According to a former Obama official, he was replaced by a handful of young ideologues who called themselves “the Beachhead Team.” “They mainly ran around the building insulting people,” says a former Obama official. “There was a mentality that everything that government does is stupid and bad and the people are stupid and bad,” says another. They allegedly demanded to know the names and salaries of the 20 highest-paid people in the national-science labs overseen by the D.O.E. They’d eventually, according to former D.O.E. staffers, delete the contact list with the e-mail addresses of all D.O.E.-funded scientists—apparently to make it more difficult for them to communicate with one another. “These people were insane,” says the former D.O.E. staffer. “They weren’t prepared. They didn’t know what they were doing.”

“We had tried desperately to prepare them,” said Tarak Shah, chief of staff for the D.O.E.’s $6 billion basic-science program. “But that required them to show up. And bring qualified people. But they didn’t. They didn’t ask for even an introductory briefing. Like ‘What do you do?’ ” The Obama people did what they could to preserve the institution’s understanding of itself. “We were prepared for them to start wiping out documents,” said Shah. “So we prepared a public Web site to transfer the stuff onto it—if needed.”

There was going to be a movie starring Will Ferrell as a sundowning Reagan who starts a war thinking he's just acting, but Reagan's son complained so it was cancelled

If you publically diss or go against Reagan your political career is over, and that's just if you are a democrat

Can't wait for Tumpl to be beyond approach from both parties in the next 10 or 20 years

LOL I just remembered when Hillary during the '08 primaries made up that she flew into Bosnia under sniper fire and then had to apologize and when she did, did so in her typical way of not admitting she was wrong and being obviously upset that she'd have to apologize for making anything up in the first place.
