TIME IS SHORT

When asked about his racial bind spots, he replied that "when you're white, you don't know what its like to be living in a ghetto. You don't know what its like to be poor."

He clearly misspoke to some extent, but it really highlighted why Hillary has such an advantage among minority voters. Income inequality has consumed Sanders' agenda to such an extent that it appears he thinks that being being black = being poor.  

Last night in Washington DC, some CPAC attendees went to an off-site conference at the Ronald Reagan Building in support of Donald Trump -- the annual conference of the white supremacist group with the innocuous-sounding name "the National Policy Institute."

Why did the people in charge of the Ronald Reagan Building let their facilities be used by this gang of disgusting racists in suits? Draw your own conclusions.

Riegle helped write bills that deregulated Wall Street, oh, and he was a member of the Keating  Five.

bernie is killing it !!

I'm for peace on earth, eradication of sickness, and, elimination of all wars. Should I be a shoe-in as the next President?

He opened up my gallery for my pictures and he found inappropriate pictures of myself and he took pictures from his cell phone of that and then he told the whole class that he would send them to whoever wanted them.... the student who actually took my phone and took pictures turned around and told me your day of reckoning is coming,

I'm not sure whey she was forced to resign. I predict a lawsuit.

Foreign diplomats are expressing alarm to U.S. government officials about what they say are inflammatory and insulting public statements by Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, according to senior U.S. officials.

Officials from Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia have complained in recent private conversations, mostly about the xenophobic nature of Trump's statements, said three U.S. officials, who all declined to be identified.    "As the (Trump) rhetoric has continued, and in some cases amped up, so, too, have concerns by certain leaders around the world," said one of the officials.

The three officials declined to disclose a full list of countries whose diplomats have complained, but two said they included at least India, South Korea, Japan and Mexico.    U.S. officials said it was highly unusual for foreign diplomats to express concern, even privately, about candidates in the midst of a presidential campaign. U.S. allies in particular usually don't want to be seen as meddling in domestic politics, mindful that they will have to work with whoever wins.

Senior leaders in several countries -- including Britain, Mexico, France, and Canada -- have already made public comments criticizing Trump's positions. German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel branded him a threat to peace and prosperity in an interview published on Sunday.

 The Dowager Countess yielded to Lady Cora's right to privilege in running the hospital, and Lord Grantham recognized her right to leave the mansion as a break from tea duties.

  Anna and Mr. Bates had their baby in Lady Mary's bedroom and were permitted to stay for the birth although Mr. Bates promised that they would get out as soon as possible--maybe, a hide-out in case the new baby was arrested--a Bates' family thing.

 Daisy got a new hair-do with that new fangled hairdryer lifted from Lady Mary's drawers, and found a partner in Andy (also known upstairs as Andrew), and things are looking up for Mrs. Patmore and the farmer, too.  Baxter and Mosley are an item, he a village teacher now, she free from the guy haunting her from prison.  Sort of bad for Mr. Carson and Elsie (nee Mrs. Hughes), what with his palsy.  But, sort of good since the Lord gave him a pension and a cottage from the estate. It was not clear if Mrs. Hughes will continue to be in service, or if she will become a chanteuse, although she will need to expand her repertoire beyond Auld Lang Syne.

 But, it worked out for Barrow, getting Mr. Carson's butler job, although losing his friend to Daisy. A mixed bag for him, but overall, Thomas will be there to serve and cause trouble. And, Mr. Spratt is a hit with his advise column for Lady Edith's magazine, despite his nemesis, Denker's bad efforts to get him ousted by Lady Violet. Did not work, the Dowager is nothing if not unpredictable.

 Lady Mary's aristocratic but poor husband, Henry Talbot, gave up driving (i.e., racing) to go into business with Tom in the used car business. The future Mr. Rolls and Mr. Royce. Lady Mary is delighted he has a job.

 And, good fortune smiled on Lady Edith. In a touch-and-go situation, told her damaged goods story of Marigold to the horror of her mother-in-law-to-be, Mirada.  Since her son, Bertie Pelham, is  the new Marquess she expected him to be the "moral center" of the castle and its sphere.  And, there was enough scandal in the whispers of the late Marquess with those trips to Morocco.  But, Mother had a rapid change of heart, and approved of the marriage. Lady Edith insisted that she call her, Edith, her humility and down -to-earth nature may have clinched the deal.

According to CBS, it appears to be an accident.  Randy had an incident involving a gun before.
