Ed Schultz never was very cerebral in his arguments.

He's really just a hack, no matter what he said two years ago or last week.
No depth to his bellowing.

I can't imagine he brought much of an audience with him, no matter where he landed a job.
Good riddance.

I had understood that Merkel and Putin got along well.

She was raised in the former East Germany, where Putin had spent much time while in the KGB.
He speaks fluent German, and I believe she speaks Russian.

But I realize the times they are a'changing.
I think Merkel's biggest challenge is her growing unpopularity among German citizens, who are increasingly objecting to the large influx of refugees from the Mideast and the influence the refugees are having on Germany's traditional way of life.

And it's more than possible that Russia will now try to grease the route to her removal in the coming German elections, if Russia considers that to be in Russia's interest.

You may be correct. But it sure feels good, without doing real harm to the

inventory.
It may also be silly for me to boycott the Koch-owned paper goods -toilet paper, napkins, paper towels, but that's my small finger in the eye to the Bircher billionaires.

Ha! I turned one backwards today for the first time!

I'm not a confrontational person and don't talk or argue politics much.
But I loved this little piece of activism I took part in today.
