Sharpley residents are breathing strong sighs of relief at this morning’s announcement that a couple of locals, including Ben du Pont, son of former Gov. Pete du Pont, have agreed to purchase the DuPont Country Club and say they won’t build houses on the more than 500 prime acres. What they didn’t say, you might notice, is that they won’t build anything.
EPA chief and paranoid loon Scott Pruitt might have accomplished the impossible — he’s been so corrupt even Donald Trump is starting to back away from him. It doesn’t help that Pruitt keeps getting caught in elementary-school-level lies.
Everyone realizes by now, I hope, that Trump is unimpeachable because the GOP will never turn on him. This article argues, and I agree, that rather than impeachment, the goal should be indictment.
Republican denial runs as deep and long as that river in Egypt. Hundreds if not thousands of Oklahoma teachers are protesting in the streets –but not really, according to one state senator who claims that 25% of them are paid actors from Chicago. I really do try not to instinctively loathe country people, but they’re just so fucking stupid.
I think I understand why so many Mexicans want to come to the U.S.: American corporations, led by Coca-Cola, have turned their country into a junk-food dumping ground. Just one more reason we should tax the living shit out of soda.
Giving America’s corporations what they want is akin to giving a 4-year-old everything he wants. So the loosening of fuel-efficiency standards once again threatens to leave American automakers sucking wind because other countries will take the lead on new fuel-saving technologies.
