Donald and Hillary have made this the year of the woman. Trump supporters probably will pick praying over rioting. Republicans will need to invent a lot of Clinton scandals to hold together their party. Republicans chide Paul Ryan for not being more of a misogynist. They also have to think of a way to avoid filling the Supreme Court, forever. Donald expands the list of conspirators plotting against him. Barack Obama is having a great time.
Hillary Clinton doubles Trump’s October fundraising. The smart money is not on Trump, neither is Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric, Newt, Rudy, and Christie’s money. That leaves these saps.
BBC notices that here Greg is with her. Greg notes that the louder the monkey, the smaller its balls.

John R. reports that lawmakers in East Texas wanted the state to pay less for children's therapy services without cutting off access to care, but that balance is proving impossible.
