Jeb Bush Releases E-Book, Reboots Campaign

I thought that was a joke of yours, Karl - but it seems to be Jeb's own.

It is a difficult time for satire.

[Karl Henning]

It is a difficult time for satire.

The best of times, and the worst of times . . . .

[North Star]

The best of times, and the worst of times . . . .

. . . we were all going direct the other way

[Karl Henning]

And the Jeb thought he was getting in a cheap gag:

Jeb Bush had to apologize for insulting France. This chart shows why.

Well, to be fair, the ultra-right wing Republican Party is certainly against anything so close to centrism as France, so insulting them should be a good way to get some votes out of the Bible Money Belt.

Like Trump with his whingeing about the reporter du jour: bash the media today, deposit a check written by an angry pinhead tomorrow.

The graphs aren't surprising, but that doesn't mean that they aren't scary.

They aren't scary in the least.

The TPP has been published.  (Don't be suckered by the New Zealand government's web-site that offers a zip file download; the link is broken - just what are they hiding?)

Perusing the 290 page Canada Tariff Elimination Schedule, I found this sinister entry:

Tariff Item 0703.10.41.  Description: Dry shallots: Imported during such period, which may be divided into two separate periods, specified by order of the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness or the President of the Canada Border Services Agency, not exceeding a total of 46 weeks in any 12 month period ending 31st March.  Base Rate: 2.81¢/kg but not less than 12.5%.


Where do Trump and Hillary stand?

I'm sure The Donald will tell you that when it comes time for him to take a stand, he will know more about than anyone else. Right now, there is just some small-time Canadian bureaucrat and you that know it; soon, you will be overshadowed by The Boss...

My theory is that the pyramids were juicers for when the earth was orbited by a crop of gigantic lemons.

Brian, you should be our next president. Is it too late to join the Republican circus?

Brian, you should be our next president.

Let us pray to The Great Lemon Tree!

Too early - I'm 9 years too young.

Although one might wonder if emotional age is what the requirement ought to be.

GOP lineup for next debate: It's fair, get over it

Uh, what?

Mixing corpses in all that grain meant for consumptions offers an elegant explanation for how the ancient Egyptian rule came to an end. I think he is on to something there.
