Who are the "good Germans" now?
Germany is hiring more teachers -- probably 20,000 by the end of next year -- to teach refugee children than the total number of refugees that will be admitted by the U.S.
About 196,000 children fleeing war and poverty will enter the German school system this school year, and 8,264 “special classes” have been created to help them catch up with their peers, according to a survey carried out in 16 German federal states. Germany’s education authority says 325,000 school-aged children reached the country in 2015 during Europe’s worst migration crisis since WWII.
Germany didn't create this mess. We did. Where is our sense of justice? Just how morally bankrupt are we?

FDR: Live Like Him
Letting Big Money and the mainstream media narrow our presidential choice to Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber is the electoral version of letting the terrorists win. We should be asking not who stands a hair taller than Donald Trump but who comes closest to measuring up to Franklin Roosevelt.
"How easily some folks forget that FDR is arguably America's greatest president ever and was an avowed Democratic Socialist. He understood that capitalism can only provide a thriving middle class if there is a mixed economy with 'socialist' programs to provide a safety net for the less fortunate and an even playing field for the rest." -- Occupy Democrats

A failure to communicate
Let me see if I have this straight.
Hillary Clinton must be supported for president -- just because, despite a lifetime of carrying water for some of the most destructive and rapacious agents of American capitalism, from Walmart to Goldman Sachs.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, on the other hand, must be rejected, because some of his supporters, at risk of harming no one beyond themselves, are rude and immature.
Is that about it?
You have to wonder
To teach a huge influx of immigrant children, Germany is hiring more teachers -- probably 20,000 by the end of next year -- than the total number of refugees that will be admitted by the U.S. About 196,000 children fleeing war and poverty will enter the German school system this school year, and 8,264 “special classes” have been created to help them catch up with their peers, according to a survey carried out in 16 German federal states.

Germany didn't create this mess. We did. Europe in general, and Germany in particular, would shame us with their generosity if we were capable of. Where is our sense of justice? Just how morally bankrupt are we?

President Obama has greatly underused his power to pardon. Here's one way he can make up for it.

Laugh while ye may
You know your drunk buddy who always says what he’d do if he was president? Turns out he is actually running this time!
On the road again,
Driving across the country, for hundreds of miles at a stretch with no company but country music stations and christian broadcasting, a question occurs:
Why is it that no one can write a country song in which righteous Yankee soldiers kick the ass of traitorous Confederate militia?
