Well, OK. Wait, there's more: he's "outspoken" as being against raising the minimum wage. TILT!<br /><br />Everybody's familiar with "Alice in Wonderland." You've either read the book or seen the Disney version. Poor Alice; she had to deal with so many strange characters in weird situations. Now we can add another layer of familiarity with Lewis Carol's classic...and Alice herself. We're getting to know just how Alice felt in her strange dreams. Only this time, Alice, it's no dream. Unreality is the new reality.<br /><br />The world, not merely one nation on the North American continent, is falling apart. That's the new reality that will continue through the full lifetime of billions of people now on earth. And, with our TVs, computers and smartphones we have a front-row seat as the last great spectacle unfolds.<br /><br />"Last" great spectacle? Seems like even scientists have a role in lending credibility to Lewis Carol's absurdities. Forget black holes a million light years away; we're all going down the rabbit hole, now. Don't let your children read the following link, at least not before bedtime, or you'll be up all night trying to think up white lie consolations. On the other hand, the scientists' report does put things in perspective for news junkies like us. After reading this, Trump and his appointments turn out to be nothing but fleas on a raging elephant's back.<br /><br />http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/12/05/huge-antarctica-glacier-in-serious-trouble/ <br /> <br /><br />Jay–Ottawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360356126450612113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-35991879344056728492016-12-08T01:34:02.719-05:002016-12-08T01:34:02.719-05:00Thank you Karen - especially for the Goya collage ...Thank you Karen - especially for the Goya collage - priceless and oh so poignant!emunithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016707688063713146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-89444434987360491112016-12-08T00:20:42.610-05:002016-12-08T00:20:42.610-05:00Brilliant post as usual.

But of course there's a reason why he's putting square pegs in round holes, foxes in chicken coops and cobras in baby cribs. With Trump in the White House, a Republican Congress supported by Democratic collaborators, and (soon) the Supreme Court back to 5/4, you can kiss goodbye to what's left of the New Deal.Jay–Ottawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360356126450612113noreply@blogger.com
