So Trump tweeted this anti-Semitic pic.

And Paul Ryan — you know, the one who's supposed to be the intelligent one — said, "Look, anti-Semitic images - they've got no place in a presidential campaign. Candidates should know that."

Gee, ya think?

Then came the usual dodge: "I don't know what flunky put this up there - they've obviously got to fix that."

Ooooh-Kay. Because it obviously can’t be the responsibility of the candidate who has been spewing racist bilge for the past year. Can’t possibly have anything to do with him. Perish the thought!

Now here's the kicker: "We've got to get back to the issues that matter to the public."

Yeah, we’ve got to get back to the important stuff. Because in Paul Ryan World, antisemitism isn't important. It doesn't matter to the public. Not in the least.

Seriously?

This thing just keeps going from bad to worse. Ryan and all those other Republicans who keep riding to Trump’s aid should stop trying to help him. JUST STOP DIGGING ALREADY!

Hoist by their own petard. It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch of scoundrels.

OK. So the Canadian pipeline that was designed to snake across the US, crossing the Ogallala Aquifer [and there’s no chance, at all, that pipes leak, is there? Oh, wait . . .] was down to the wire. It needed to move forward so its owners could get their hands on all that lovely money. But if the project got the thumbs down from the Obama administration, they wouldn’t be able to reapply a couple of years from now when [they were hoping] a more friendly president might be in power. What to do? What to do?

See below the orange snaky pipeline for the solution:

Whoever would have guessed that?

Editorial in the Tampa Bay Times:

The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday put the law and democracy ahead of partisan gamesmanship by striking down the state's congressional maps. By ordering that eight districts across the state be redrawn . . , the court delivered a blow against entrenched incumbents and special interests and laid the foundation for fairer elections with truly representative results. To follow up on its sharp rebuke, the court must now ensure the Florida Legislature complies with both the letter and spirit of the order.

From The New Yorker, May 18, 2015:

On May 16th, three Christian pacifists—Gregory Boertje-Obed, a sixty-year-old housepainter; Michael Walli, a Vietnam veteran in his early sixties; and Sister Megan Rice, an eighty-five-year-old nun—were suddenly and unexpectedly released from federal prison. They are members of the Plowshares movement, which is devoted to abolishing nuclear weapons and seeking world peace.
