Holding on Calling Cadillac Man

Things have taken a bit of a downturn and there's nothing for it except to ride through it.  That's why a general jetdown but this has happened before, more than once.

Unknown what's become of Lotho but maybe he's off in Cancun this time as he takes that li'l poppet everywhere.  Ah, I just saw an email.  He ain't coming back.  That was from a month ago so there's yer answer.


There's not much to add to the election beyond the horror which exists already but it may be interesting to consider Assange.  Republicans call him a terrorist but, wtf, they think anyone who isn't a white Anglo Protestant is a terrorist.  Democrats are probably kind of pissed with him and it's always a comical thing when the only truth in news comes from a (cough) terrorist.  Wasserman Schultz and Clinton probably have contracts out to snuff him but the thuds in the CIA have tried for years and never managed it.


Maybe there's some interest in the election and not so much from what's in it but rather what isn't.  Obama made some weak attempt to get START II going again but that's not mentioned.  There's quite a bit of an ostrichism in the crowd and maybe that's not unusual, I just notice it more.  My take is it's driven by media making them pants-pissing terrified over ISIS and they ignore everything else.  My infinitely-greater concern is getting capped by cop on steroids or an asshole drunkie with a bad attitude and a gun.  The probability is vastly higher too.  Most unusual people over here.


Apart from that, there's the ongoing problem nothing much is happening in anything.  The sciencers aren't slowed and I enjoy following the publications to peer-reviewed journals to glean whatever I can from them.  I don't read science articles anywhere else since there's no way to know up-front if you're dealing with a PhD or a PhD psycho when you deal with the solo track stars.

Here's Neil deGrasse Tyson successfully making a complete fool of himself.  The money must make him do it, I guess.


That's great for the ooh-wow crap but the sciencer articles are right now and give encouragement by seeing the general malaise isn't affecting them much.
