When you see a dumpster fire...

Jump right on in!



But I'll pass...  I'm too skeered.

Immigration


Democrats want the votes, some pubbies want the cheap labor.  Can a deal be reached?  Only if enough pubbies cave.  If Trump caves, he will have a bigger problem than Russian collusion ever thought about being.

Morris says it is about citizenship.  That's so that they can vote.  The conservatives don't want the citizenship, but they can work here.




Could there be another explanation?

One should always ask that question because it is very, very easy to jump to conclusions.  As I like to say, "the truth is a slippery thing". 

Lot of people can say that they support the truth, but it is really easy to go wrong, and be wrong.  Just saying...

Jumping to conclusions is not scientific, don't you know.



"Great Political Theater"

That title up there is a quote from the article.  Anyway, I am dying to know how to say his name.

Blues Brothers --- Sweet Home Chicago

Matt Murphy dead at 88.   He's playing the opening to this song.




ThorCon still working on Molten-salt reactor

Note:

My understanding of this is that it doesn't have to be thorium.  Uranium can work just fine.  As a matter of fact, this outfit was stated as explicitly as only interested in doing what could be done now, as opposed to looking for the absolute perfect solution "one of these days" in some future time.

In other words, according to this article, in five years, they could be set to ramp up to assembly line production of molten salt reactors.  It would be a world changing event.

It will take five years to study and test this concept.  That is where they are NOW.  This doesn't have to wait for anything but the testing.

I'd say that this is a big deal.  Even so, five years seems like a long time.  But better than never.


It could have been worse

From Young Frankenstein, a scene that I like to refer to in a tough situation.

Yesterday was a pip.  I just about lost it with somebody, but fortunately, I did not.  Could have been worse, it could have been raining.  Come to think of it, it did rain yesterday.  But not at that time...
