Cool story to start the weekend:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/16/world/africa/rare-white-giraffe-kenya.html?_r=0
That is special. I wonder if there are any prophecies associated with white giraffes, as there are with white buffalo in the Lakota culture.
I don't know, but I ran across this while searching:
The White Giraffe – Wikipedia

They're going #FullWingNut over at InfoWars…
Alex Jones, Roger Stone claim Donald Trump is being covertly drugged
Sedatives or hallucinogens?
It's the Propecia……
Would you prefer he be mildly insane or bald?
He's gone to Rick Scott's barber.
Cheetolini TwoScoops has always been erratic, unpredictable, schizophrenic, unstable, incoherent, and out of touch with reality . . .
. . . makes me wonder what kind of drugs his RWNJs have been self-administering all this time that they only are now beginning to notice???
They've all been drinking the same kool-aid.
I've always presumed that this was origin of the word "covfefe."
I wonder if he's "sundowning". It wouldn't surprise me. Maybe his cheese really is sliding off the cracker.
WOTD: Equifax thoughts from Josh Marshal at Talking Points memo.
A stunning chart. Four years ago, the Energy Information Agency expected world coal use to grow 39% by 2040. Now it expects just 1%. Not per year: in total
The Third Industrial Revolution has arrived.
He won't need a large shovel…
If there's any truth to this story, Fluffy will be able to tie a knot in a cherry stem with his sphincter…..

First he'll have to remove Adam Smith's fist.
I take my comment back, FU. Once Moddy reads this he'll once again be able to tie that cherry stem with Adam's fist still firmly in place. From WSJ:
Trump Administration Seeks to Avoid Withdrawal From Paris Climate Accord
Trump will say anything to anybody, take any position, if he thinks it will advance his political standing. Period, full stop.
Right now, he's running scared. Mueller's raking in the nasty goopy stuff from Trump's kitchen sink, everyone gets that Russians were invited and encouraged to interfere in the 2016 election, Democrats are talking impeachment and 25th amendment remedies, and Republicans are backing away from the Prez (Trump who?), and VP Pence pretty much has a full-bore 2020 campaign ramping up.
Trumpito got elected on a populist, "I'm for the little guy" platform. Now he's just trying to recycle his greatest hits, and blow clouds of smoke to obscure the policy. Factcheck says that the plan as written absolutely helps the highest-income taxpayers, to the detriment of everyone else, no matter what he claims.
As far as the Paris climate accord, half the country is passing Trump's obstruction by. With 13 states in a Climate Alliance, 9 more plus DC supporting the Paris Agreement, (along with the rest of the industrialized world), that mighty hand or fist of the free capitalist market is going to move the country towards a cleaner economy, whatever Tweeterdumb wants.
Mark Hillman had a thoughtful piece in last week's Wray Gazette on the stark realities for his party in a state becoming more, not less, purple. Every time I embed the link Alva's magic machine marks it as spam. If you go to markhillman(dot)com it’s is top article entitled, "Capitol critics ignore reality of changing Colorado"
Well, somebody gets it. If they have any sense repubs who want to keep their jobs will get as far away from The Yam as they can. Moddy and his ilk will shriek “Traitors! “, but how much worse off will he be if Dems replace those “traitors”?
Mark Hillman's piece highlights the reality that we can trust our legislators to look out for our short term interests – as he wrote
That's certainly true where I live. When I broke my elbows, a 5 minute drive to the ER was a whole lot better than an hour one. Plus, the threatened Medicaid cuts, which Gardner and Buck were so enamored of, would have shut down both of the town's nursing homes – which employ people, as well as care for those who can't be cared for at home any longer.
So Sondermann, et al's Hospital Provider Fee vote made sense short term. Now, if we could only entice our congresscritters to see renewable energy as a long term solution. It might involve foregoing some oily gassy campaign contributions, though… but,
Link posted OK for me. Must be that new vitamin supplement I'm taking.
Thanks for sharing the link, MamaJ. I tried six times; finally I posted without the link (which worked) and then went back into through the edit function and added the link. When I did that I got the 'spam' alert and it rejected the entire post.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte comes out swinging for removal of industrial hemp from the Controlled Substances Act:
Wow! Cool! So does that mean that not all Republirats are complete idiots?
Absent some of Moddy's bff's (Steve King, Beauregard) this is a fairly nonpartisan movement. We've enjoyed support from both sides of the aisle. If I turn the time machine back to 2010, the Colorado legislature passed a resolution unanimously encouraging Congress to end the scheduling on CSA. Mark Hillman in the Senate and Wes McKinley in the House were the leads as I recall. We were the first legislature in the US to pass such a resolution.
Here's a twofer for MichaelBowman. Let's hear it for the sisters. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nuns-build-chapel-file-lawsuit-block-natural-gas-pipeline-n793361?cid=public-rss_20170917
What a great story!! When we have our next get-together I have another to share with the group that involves the cannabis plant and the Dominican Sisters of Peace. That one is practically script-worthy for a movie.
Mexican women march against domestic violence. Five women are killed in Mexico every day. 63% suffer some kind of assault or violence.
