Houston has had a 100-year flood 4 times in 12 months

"Previous events last May, June, and October".

There is a great irony in the fossil fuel capital of the world being forced to endure the calamitous side-effects of the fossil fuel industry's misadventures over the past hundred years or so. Even as oil tank farms in Cushing, OK fill to the brim, and supertankers line up off the coast of Basra, Iraq to bring over more, Americans -- and Texans -- have reduced their consumption by switching to alternative fuels like wind and solar, and protest the mineral barons who are trying to squeeze a few more drops out of their respective lemons.

"Leave It in the Ground" doesn't seem to be resonating with the Persian Gulf oil states.

What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss?

All good here

I have one dog who doesn't like to get her paws wet. She's the only one with something to complain about.

You only have to get your car flooded out once to take all precautions not to let it happen again. Ours was in 1994.

Here you go

My main problem is when she is telling the truth

Allegedly.

"I want the Iranians to know that if I’m president, we will attack Iran:"

"It's time to start thinking of Iraq as a business opportunity":

I mean, you have to hope she's lying in these two cases because the truth is just too much to bear.

Well done

I can find no reasonable explanation for Hillary supporters who have amped up the antagonism toward Berners as her seeming inevitability keeps melting like the Arctic. Absent a premise beyond "politics ain't beanbag", the calculation appears to be that they can replace us "soshulists" with GOP votes escaping from Trump/Cruz.

That is the only thing that makes political sense... even if it reveals the New Democrats for precisely what thy are: Old (as in former moderate) Republicans.

Paul Krugman is a Nobel-winning economist

Paul Krugman is also a shitty political analyst.

As Donald Trump should have stayed out of politics, sticking with what he knows best (real estate) so should have Krugman. There is no one I have lost more respect for in his cycle than him.

Not in Florida

Butterfly ballots, Palm Beach County, Theresa LePore, etc. Nader had nothing to do with those.

Nader also didn't force 300,000+ registered FL Democrats to vote for Bush.

Kindly note that Jim Hightower wrote that before the SCOTUS stopped the recount in FL and handed the presidency to Dim Son.

That's three better reasons than to keep scapegoating Nader and the Green Party sixteen years after the fact.

The saddest downfall IMHO was Susie Madrak
