Do not take a shot each time Trump articulates a falsehood during the debate tonight. Politico reported (as seen in a story here earlier) that he does so an average of every 3.25 minutes. You could wind up with a case of alcohol poisoning over the 90 minutes. Be judicious.

“We have a man who judges people based on their performance regardless of your gender, race, ethnic or religious background. We do not need to settle for less.”

You might have missed this - you may have been in the bathroom after the rabid question/response section of his rant. But Chris Christie actually spoke these words last night. I just wanted to make sure you did not miss the new depth to which CC has sunk.

A full transcript of the speech is posted at RealClearPolitics.

It's not easy being Trump

“It’s not been easy for me,” Trump said. “I started off in Brooklyn, my father gave me a small loan of $1 million. I came into Manhattan. I had to pay him back. I had to pay him back with interest. But I came into Manhattan, I started buying up properties. I did great.”

This may not be news to you but it was a revelation to me.

Did you realize that country clubs, fraternities, etc. are (assuming they apply and meet standards) tax exempt under 507(c)(7)?

501(c)(7) - Social and recreational clubs which provide pleasure, recreation, and social activities.

The National Center for Charitable Statistics (http://nccsweb.urban.org) shows some fascinating charts on receipts and assets.

see below for a few figures

it's 92 degrees + high humidity here today

both species are let in/out of the (air conditioned) house at will

the dogs (one large w/long hair, one small with short coat) go outside only to relieve themselves

the cats (3 dsh) come inside only to eat - otherwise they are lounging on the porch in the shade

(lest you worry, the yard is 4 acres and fully fenced in)

I was thinking of advancing some (unsolicited) ideas to the Congressional Progressive Caucus (among others). To this end I looked up the membership and was surprised (shocked?) to find that Bernie Sanders is the ONLY member of the CPC from the Senate. See http://cpc.grijalva.house.gov/... .

Here I had just assumed that the list would include Al Franken, Elizabeth Warren,
Ron Wyden, Sherrod Brown,......

Where did I miss the boat on my assumptions? Is the problem bureaucracy? independence? direction? leadership competition?

Can anyone clue me in?

How did I wind up on TX Dem's conference call?

I happened to be off from work yesterday.

I answer the ringing phone and find a conference call in progress.

I hear Ron Kirk, Rodney Ellis, President Obama, Wendy Davis, Letticia Van De Putte, Joaquin Castro.........

Great stuff - interesting stuff

But how did my home phone number get on that list.

Very strange.

A modest proposal: every time 'Democrat' is used in place of 'Democratic' (as in the Democrat party rather than the Democratic party, the response should be to refer to the Republican party as the 'Republic' party. No arguing or shouting, no muss no fuss, just turnabout as fair play.
