Thank you for all the happy birthdays, everyone. I really had a very nice day. Did some paddleboarding, which I didn’t find all that hard, although I did finally fall in the lake near the end of the two hours. Today will not be a bloggy day for me, either. And tomorrow won’t be too bloggy. It’s just a bunch of stuff all at once, like jets trying to get lined up to take off on the runway.
I’ll be around tonight and may do some writing if I’m not totally exhausted.
Don’t shoot anyone in the face.
Many happy returns! I’m glad you enjoyed your birthday.
It seems the Republicans are also getting their jets lined up. After the debate, Trump is having to backtrack, and most of the others are jockeying for position. Kasich is busy putting his foot in his mouth and showing himself as the bigot he truly is, with his condescending comments about the maid in a recent hotel stay. Ugh.
Have a great weekend. I’m sure the clowns are ready to kick more of their brethren out of the little car.
Thanks for noting the Kasich statement. Look, it’s difficult to keep your trap shut 24/7 when your worldview is that of rich white man privilege.
Things are not going well for this portion of the RNC’s post-2012 prescription:
http://goproject.gop.com/rnc_growth_opportunity_book_2013.pdf
“It is imperative that the RNC changes how it engages with Hispanic communities to welcome
in new members of our Party…If Hispanic Americans hear that the GOP doesn’t want them in the United States, they won’t pay
attention to our next sentence.

“President George W. Bush used to say, “Family values don’t stop at the Rio Grande … and a hungry
mother is going to try to feed her child.”…Because his tone was inclusive and his effort to build a relationship
was long-term, Hispanic Americans were willing to listen to his principles and policies on education,
jobs, spending and other issues…This path is still open to us;
it was only eight years ago that President Bush received 44 percent of the Hispanic vote,
a modern-day record for a Republican presidential candidate.

“The RNC must put significant effort and resources into reaching out to Hispanic media and
news outlets. This needs to be a high-level presence on all Latino media.

“…we are not a policy committee, but among the steps Republicans take
in the Hispanic community and beyond we must embrace and champion comprehensive
immigration reform. If we do not, our Party’s appeal will continue to shrink to its core
constituencies only. We also believe that comprehensive immigration reform is consistent
with Republican economic policies that promote job growth and opportunity for all.“

Have a great weekend. And many more returns of the day.
Enjoy your day and don’t worry about the blogging. I’ve been skimming the headlines over at Market Watch. Trump’s in trouble, and Carly’s the new darling. It’s not official yet, but just imagine:
Hillary vs Carly 2016!
The gaffes write themselves…
Damned liebruls! Always trying to take away my God given Second Amendment rights to shoot people in the face!
It’s a little late, but now it’s your turn to get the treatment:
And here’s another gift I hope you like:
I hope you’re able to maintain your endurance; your writings are valuable.
Hope you continue to have a great weekend and come back refreshed. Happy celebrations!
Oh, hey, slightly belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Will check back to see when you post more.
