Time for the Weekend's Sophistic Soliloquy

There are few science articles on the weekends so that leaves politics which offer argument, amphiboly, and asslicking.  Nothing they say makes any sense but people believe it anyway.  It's a glorious time, my brothers.

We know one thing with sophistry in argument that it probably isn't true.  We know one thing with amphiboly that it's so poorly stated we probably can't tell what it means.  We know one thing from asslicking that it's probably Clinton trying to get money.  Roll them all together and you've got Team Hillary where we don't have much to say for ourselves but we have a bucketload of poo to throw at you ... but we still won't give up any Goldman Sachs transcripts.


The beauty part today is Hillary Clinton's National Service Reserve although you can call them Hillary Jugend for short.  They will get snappy uniforms and arm bands to show their national pride but they get paid nothing whatsoever for their services.  It looks very much like getting one more thing for nothing from Americans who have been gouged, spindled, and mutilated by the state for too many years already.  Now it seriously wants something else?  (Clinton's Cabal of Cackle: Hillary Clinton Announces New National Service Reserve, A New Way for Young Americans to Come Together and Serve Their Communities)

Likely the ones who fall for this are the same clots who hooked up with Charles Keating in his Teens for Decency rallies ... at least until he got busted for the corruption in his Savings & Loan operations. They have a knack for looking beatific ... at least until Susie turns up pregnant and then they kill her and eat her lest she despoil the decency of the tribe.


There's tremendous irony when Hillary Clinton, the woman who more exemplifies blind greed than anyone else in the country, is telling the kids, yeah, wouldn't it be great if you practiced volunteerism.  Maybe practice it for your banks, huh?  Give them a fresh coat of paint and help them regain their self-respect!

(Ed:  self-respect for the kids or the banks?)

The banks, of course.  Kids are plentiful but banks are few.


We can continue with Chelsea Clinton's sophomoric treatise in a warning 'marijuana can kill' but these sanctimonious and grossly-uninformed DEA stooges just make my teeth itch.  How about a dissertation on KRATOM as well because we just love to hear people speaking when they have no idea of the subject.


There's not much on the Trumpish side of the swamp since he's being more of a gollum than he ever was and he's pushing the Fuck You Platform as far as it will go.  Since there's so much Fuck You flying about America just now, he may still have a game, wildly incoherent as it may be.  We're loving the new Republican mantra, tho:  Trump will probably die but don't worry because Pence is better.


The Chicago Tribune has just recommended Gary "Mind Melt" Johnson because of the sorry lack of quality in the primaries.  Why that persuades them to recommend a guy who can't remember where he parked his car is unclear, however.  I have various disagreements with his position but at least he seems to be honest.  Of all the candidates, he and Stein are the only ones I would keep, notwithstanding the lofty pretensions of experience from Clinton whose only real experience has been in weapons sales and genocide.


Jill Stein is mostly hanging about being hopelessly cool even though some of her attitudes really aren't that cool since we're fed-up with pipsqueak noise about GMO from people who read very little about the subject.  We're fed-up with talk of anti-vaxx unless it comes from the medical community and not some quack who was thrown out years ago.  She's got some seriously dipshit ideas about various things but she's clear on the nightmare in the Middle East needs to be stopped.
