'Anni, amori e bicchieri di vino, nun se contano mai.”' '“Years, lovers and glasses of wine; these things must not be counted.' Anthony Capella
"1933: We did not think of the great open plains, the beautiful rolling hills, and winding streams with tangled growth as “wild.” Only to the white man was nature a “wilderness” and only to him was the land “infested” with “wild” animals and “savage” people. To us it was tame. Earth was bountiful, and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery. Not until the hairy man from the East came—and with brutal frenzy heaped injustices upon us and the families we loved—was it “wild” for us. When the very animals of the forest began fleeing from his approach, then it was for us that the “Wild West” began." - Luther Standing Bear
"I do NOT believe we are all born equal. Created equal in the eyes of God, yes, but physical and emotional differences, parental guidelines, varying environments, being in the right place at the right time, all play a role in enhancing or limiting an individual's development. But I DO believe every man and woman, if given the opportunity and encouragement to recognize their potential, regardless of background, has the freedom to choose in our world. Will an individual be a taker or a giver in life? Will that person be satisfied merely to exist or seek a meaningful purpose? Will he or she dare to dream the impossible dream? I believe every person is created as the steward of his or her own destiny with great power for a specific purpose, to share with others, through service, a reverence for life in a spirit of love."

Finally, Mitchell brought up Quinnipiac poll that tied Clinton to the word “liar,” asking, “What is the first word that comes to mind when you think of Hillary Clinton?”
At this point, Sanders had clearly had it with this line of questioning.
“I have known Hillary Clinton for 25 years. And I know her to be a very hardworking, intelligent person, somebody I worked with in the Senate,” he said. “So I am sorry, I am not going to get into the media game, Andrea, of attacking, making personal attacks, against Hillary Clinton. I just am not going to do that. I don’t think that’s what the American people want. I think we have got to focus on the real issues. Why is the middle class disappearing and almost all new income and wealth going to the top 1 percent? Why don’t we have a trade policy that works for the American worker and not the CEOs of large corporations? Why do we have a system where families cannot afford to send their kids to college?”
“A lot of issues to talk about,” Sanders added. “You’ll forgive me but I’m not going to get into attacking Hillary Clinton personally.”

A Heckuva Job
by Paul Krugman
“There are many things we should remember about the events of late August and early September 2005, and the political fallout shouldn’t be near the top of the list. Still, the disaster in New Orleans did the Bush administration a great deal of damage — and conservatives have never stopped trying to take their revenge. Every time something has gone wrong on President Obama’s watch, critics have been quick to declare the event “Obama’s Katrina.” How many Katrinas has Mr. Obama had so far? By one count, 23.
Somehow, however, these putative Katrinas never end up having the political impact of the lethal debacle that unfolded a decade ago. Partly that’s because many of the alleged disasters weren’t disasters after all. For example, the teething problems of Healthcare.gov were embarrassing, but they were eventually resolved — without anyone dying in the process — and at this point Obamacare looks like a huge success.”

Political Move of Summer: Trump “Emasculating” Jeb!
by Taylor Marsh
http://www.taylormarsh.com/2015/08/political-move-of-summer-trump-emasculating-jeb/
““Look, Jeb Bush was a very successful governor, he’s a thoughtful man, he was a good, conservative governor. But every day, Donald Trump is emasculating Jeb Bush, and Republican primary voters are not going to default to the establishment candidate who is being weakened by these attacks that go unresponded to.” – Steve Schmidt [Politico]
THERE WAS no doubt what Donald Trump meant when he said that Jeb! was a “low energy person” but a “nice guy.” He was calling the former governor of Florida a wimp. It was an attempt to neuter the establishment’s favorite messenger, which Jeb Bush never really answered sufficiently, except to parrot Trump’s “anchor baby” epithet. Jeb’s reaction proved Trump’s point, which is that he’s just not got the persona for the presidency.
No man lets an adversary question his manhood. “Emasculating” Jeb Bush was the political move of the summer, because it helped cast Donald Trump as the alpha candidate in the race, which sealed the summer of Trump.
As September beckons, the establishment won’t allow the advantage Donald Trump has built up stand without rebuttal. The onslaught of ads will rain down on the Trump campaign, giving the candidate an indoctrination by Republican elites.
The GOP establishment simply can’t concentrate on Hillary Clinton or any other Democrat right now, because of what Trump’s accomplished this summer.
And now that Ben Carson is surging in Iowa, tying Donald Trump in one poll, will he target him the way he has Jeb?
Ben Carson and Donald Trump are tied at the top of the Republican field in a new survey of likely Iowa caucus-goers with 23 percent each, according to the results of a Monmouth University poll released Monday. [Politico]
If Republicans think Ben Carson can do what Donald Trump can’t they’re dreaming. But since Scott Walker has imploded they’ve got to do something.
After Labor Day we will find out what kind of campaign organization Donald Trump has, because they’re going to be put to the test.”

Thoughts on Trump
by Bruce Bartlett
http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2015/08/thoughts-on-trump/
“This means it is very unlikely that the stop-Trump forces can coalesce around one candidate. The field will remain divided until the end, meaning that Trump needs no more support than he has now to win the nomination. As I have said repeatedly, the key to understanding Trump is not the ceiling on his support, but the floor, which appears higher than the ceiling of all the other candidates
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
I am not yet ready to predict that Trump will be the GOP nominee, but I am disinclined to bet against him. I honestly don’t see how any of his current opponents can beat him. I think his odds of winning the nomination are better than even. Whether he can win the general election is another question that I will discuss at a later date.”

as to what lies ahead for her according to same article:
“In a separate development, the Kentucky attorney general is mulling whether to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate whether she violated the state official misconduct statute when her office refused to issue a license to a Rowan County gay couple.
Official misconduct is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 365 days in jail.
A public servant is guilty of it when, “with intent to deprive another person of a benefit,” he or she refrains “from performing a duty imposed upon by law or clearly inherent in the nature” of his office or “violates any statute or lawfully adopted rule or regulation” relating to it.”

Polling shows that Matt Bevin is in a tight race with Democratic nominee Jack Conway, who also is Kentucky’s attorney general, and Bevins said during a conference call that he thinks that the rights of county clerks, including Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who disagree with the Supreme Court’s June gay-marriage decision are being violated.
“I absolutely support her willingness to stand on her First Amendment rights,” he said of Davis. “Without any question, I support her.”
Conway refused to appeal the initial federal ruling against the state’s same-sex marriage ban last year.

She is a public servant, on the public payroll, who as part of her ministerial duties issues marriage licenses. The appropriate remedy is have someine else in her office issue the licenses, and to the extent her pay is based upon license fees, reduce her pay. The First Amendment guarantees her the right to free exercise of her religion and to free speech. The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees equal protection to gay folks who want to marry. Equal. The idiot clerk’s 1st amendment rights do not allow her to deprive those gay people their constitutional rights, period. If she’s not willing to serve the public she has rather than the public her church wishes she has her optionis to get another job. She is a laughingstock, and her lawyer’s an idiot.
