LOS ANGELES, CA - NOVEMBER 12: Protesters march in reaction to the upset election of Republican Donald Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton in the race for President of the United States on November 12, 2016 in Los Angeles, California, United States. Hundreds of Angelenos have been arrested in recent days and some have vandalized property but the vast majority of the thousands of protesters have remain peaceful.

While we were all focusing on the Presidential race and it affect on the Supreme Court we’re missing a more important threat. Charlie Pierce brought it up and it is truly scary.

Bottom line is the Repubs. now have complete control over 33 states plus all three branches of the Federal government. If they reach 34 and all agree, they can call for a constitutional convention. If that happens say goodbye to the United States as we know it. They could throw out the present constitution and replace it with the Confederate one if they choose. Of course that will probably bring about a civil war, but all businessmen know that war is good for business. Amirite.

Soooo? What can we do about it? Buller?

On Monday a Georgia man opened fire on two Georgia State Troopers with a high powered hunting rifle capable of penetrating vest. He told them they would have to kill him. The troopers returned fire, wounded the man and arrested him. Todays quiz is to guess what color the shooter was.

I live in Orange County, California. The home off crazyass congresscritter Dana Rohrabacher. I've been asked many times why I live here. Below is an example of what is happening in the OC this weekend and events like this happen every weekend.

Your call. On May 27 President Obama proposed selling off the socialist program knows as the Tennessee Valley Authority to private enterprise. Now you would think the republicans would endorse this idea because the big bad government can't do anything right. You would be wrong.

I recently spent some time on the Ft. Mojave Indian Reservation. While I was there I learned a little of their history. The Mojave people call themselves Pipa Aha Cacav which means the people by the river. They trace their origins to Spirit Mountain which is the highest peak in the nearby Newberry Mountains. Mutavilya is the tribes spirit mentor who created the Colorado River and it's plants and animals. Mutavilya also taught them their way of life. At their peak they were the largest group of people living in the Southwest. They were farmers with large established villages and traded as far as the Pacific Ocean, almost 300 miles away. Then came the Spanish

On Friday I had the opportunity to do something that tens of thousands of people used to do, but now only a few of us get to experience. I traveled back to the past in a time machine. To be more specific, I got to fly in a WWII B-17 bomber. Follow me as we take off over the cow pie in the pasture below.

A school in Mass. contracted out providing lunches at school to a private contractor. Pretty much SOP these days. It seems 25 students didn't have enough money in their prepaid accounts or enough cash to pay for it. Not a problem, right. Wrong.

First we had Charlie Fuqua from Arkansas who wants to execute kids who disobey their parents. Maybe he can get some tips from the Taliban in Pakistan on how to kill kids. Now thanks to Rebecca over at Wonkette we get this from Virginia. Below, a look into the mind of a Rmoney supporter.

Returning to my old school this weekend after almost half a century I got to thinking about the jobs I've have had over that time and what it means for today. In this age of Wal-Mart workers and burger flippers lets look at where the jobs went. Follow me down the rabbit hole.

Hi everyone, this is my very first diary ever and it's not about anything Political. If this isn't cool or there is something wrong with it, please let me know. I'll delete it. Not really sure what the protocol for a non political diary is.

Anyway the other day on another thread there was a discussion about Ireland in the winter. Most people thought it was a horrible idea. I was in the minority.

Below is a tale of my last trip to Ireland in February.I thought it would be okay in honor of St. Paddys day
