WOTD from John Stoehr at Religion Dispatches on: "THE DANGEROUS FACT ABOUT QANON BELIEVERS THAT REPORTERS FAIL TO GRASP"
Interesting perspective on the Rural-Urban divide. Maybe a bit of rhetorical exaggeration, as I don't think the divide is really Rural-Urban, rather Traditional White-privilege vs Changing World. (Rural or small-town life can certainly be worse-than-stultifying if you are creative or gay, and the the big city or liberal college town or high-tech career is a way to escape from Fort Morgan.)
But the conclusion makes sense:
That is one of the best articles I've read on the Q-rural-urban issues we face. Thank you for sharing.
Tune of “Hey Jude”

Hey Joe,
Don’t be afraid.
Throw out Trumpstink
And heal this nation.
Remember we once had dignity
And decency in the Oval office.

Joe and Kamala
La la la la
Will heal this nation.

Hey Joe, don’t be deceived
Putin’s clown is spreading COVID.
And we will all be relieved
When we’ve perceived his reign is over.
*
Joe and Kamala la la
Have the right stuff
To heal this nation.
They will go right to work in a million good ways
When we vote out this jerk
In 46 days.
Joe and Kama la la
La la la la
Will heal this nation.
Today is World Water Monitoring Day
Another round of payments to American farmers coming to a mailbox near you!!
Trump announces second round of CFAP payments
So much winning!
Vote buying.
The welfare state grows again. What's with all this socialism crap anyway?
Them damn liberals, we oughtta…wait…what? Nevermind.
Over at FauxNews Cornell West got to give Tucker a DS101:
Cornell West is a national treasure.
👍👍
Money to farmers.
News of money to Puerto Rico (just before the 3 year anniversary of the hurricane).
News of overtures of COVID-19 relief with another round of cards and checks for $1200.
Disaster declarations for California, Oregon, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
Its almost as if the *resident is willing to spend federal money before the election is over.
AWP (Americas' Worst President) said this morning "I am the best thing that ever happened to "Porto" Rico".
😜
Mr. Meghan McCain is in the crosshairs of The Lincon Project:
Check out the GJ Sentinel's piece on Boebert today if you can. When Charles Ashby decides to dig and do actual reporting work, he can turn in fine stories. This is one of them.
I'd link to it if I could figure out the combo.
Here’s the GJ Sentinel story: Boebert’s Democratic upbringing questioned Charles Ashby Sep 18, 2020 2 hrs ago
One correction: the story mentions ruralcoloradounited.com as the site of a group opposing Boebert. it actually is http://www.ruralcoloradounited.org/ — and there really isn’t any content at that site.
Wow.
It's almost as if she's borrowed a sheet from Ttump's playbook?
Yep…It looks like grabbing the government cheese seems to be the real goal for the perky one. I love the way she waves her finger like a pistol when she says, "Not on MY watch."
She is starting to resemble Dan Maes more and more every day.
Question: has she ever hit Freida Poundstone up for a personal loan with which to pay her mortgage?
Quite good reporting, in my opinion better than the Colorado Sun article of a few days ago. The entertainment will come in the Letters to the Editor. Also there will be irate responses to the editorial today endorsing Senator Bennet's rural broadband infrastructure bill.
FiveThirtyEight has its Senate forecast out, but they’re estimating the race in Colorado as 49.5% to 45.5% even though six of the eight most recent polls show Hick winning by 9% or more. What’s up with that? Is their secret sauce fundamentals thinking that Colorado is more purple than the polls?

I’m also surprised by their view that Maine is the closest of the Senate elections this cycle. Really? That seems out of line with the actual polling.

The probability of winning is different from the projected vote totals.
The probability of Hickenlooper winning is lower because we are a month out, and "things" could happen. 538's probabilities become more certain/favorable as we move through the next few weeks.
"Things" could happen….
Indeed. Perhaps Moscow Mitch will dump another $20 million into Colorado with those nasty ads about the reprimand from the so-called independent ethics commission and the rampant corruption.
Serious question: the Natural Resources Defense Council is running commercials supporting Hick. Is Hick less of a Fossilonian than I thought? Or is he just less of a Fossilonian than Gardner?
Not mutually exclusive? 🙂
Probably the latter, but I'll take it. Yammie-pie wants to open up every square foot of open space to drilling and Conman Cory will nod right along.
Not the chance of winning. That’s 68 to 32 in Colorado, no I’m talking about their estimate of the popular vote. It seems way out of line with the polls.
National, not Colorado. From Bloomberg.com
Biden went to Minnesota today and tore the hide off this country's biggest welfare bum, Donny Rich Kid. More. Pour it on, Joe!
RBG has died.
Holy shit.
If they want to steal two seats, then we’ll add two seats.
Oh how I loathe thee, 2020.
