Sometimes Fox News runs out of things to talk about because, like Trump, they have limited word and thinking skill, too.

So, now they’ve decided the latest liberal conspiracy is Wonder Woman. Why, you ask?  Because she’s not wearing a flag, I reply.  Oh but she is, you insist.  Nope, there’s not enough white in her costume, I tell you.  You sit in stunned silence because you simply don’t believe me that Fox News could possibly be concerned because there’s not enough white to make it really red, white, and blue.

Yeah, well, listen up.

Thanks to Rick for the heads up.

There’s one thing you need to know about hurricanes: They don’t mind well.

I’ve lived through several bigs ones in my life, Carla in 1961 comes to mind first because it hit us directly and the eye of the storm went over our house.  Hurricane Celia almost caused my wedding to be postponed.  Danielle, Alicia, Jerry, Allison, and Ike also come to mind at my house.  And Katrina.  I wasn’t in New Orleans but we helped take in the refugees in Houston.  I was assigned a small 87 year old woman who had been separated from her family and didn’t know where they were.

Hurricane season started last week.  I just want you to know that we are entering hurricane season with no director of FEMA because Donald Trump needs to play golf.  Even scarier, we have no NOAA Director, so we will be playing Roulette Landfall.

Trump meanwhile has made no move to appoint a new boss at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the agency in charge of the National Hurricane Center and the National Weather Service, which provide hurricane forecasts and hurricane warnings in advance of a storm.

Incidentally, NOAA Is predicting an above-average hurricane season this year. Trump’s proposed budget has targeted both agencies for cuts.

So, here’s my point, if we could get hurricanes to mind well, we could get it to go hit Mar-a-Loco and then stop.

But hurricanes don’t mind worth crap.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Okay, here’s something I would have bet my favorite lasso that I’d never say:  I completely agree with Jennifer Rubin.

Rubin is the conservative columnist for the Washington Post.  This morning, she goes after Trump and his supporters with intent to barbeque.

(If you don’t have a Washington Post online subscription, you can probably read it here.)

I was going to pull out some of her best thoughts and put them here to encourage you to read the whole thing, but dammit, read the whole thing.

Also, thanks to Bryan for sending me this:

Y’all, I know that having a crazy president can make you crazy, but …

Am I the only person who thinks that Bannon was the source who leaked all the stuff about Jared?

The Republican Governor of Kentucky, Matt Bevin, has a solution to crime in his capital city: “Volunteer patrols that will not report or stop criminal activity, but pray it away.”

He appears to be serious.

President Obama broke his silence yesterday after Trump’s idiotic spectacle in the Rose Garden; and it’s good:

“A year and a half ago, the world came together in Paris around the first-ever global agreement to set the world on a low-carbon course and protect the world we leave to our children.

“It was steady, principled American leadership on the world stage that made that achievement possible. It was bold American ambition that encouraged dozens of other nations to set their sights higher as well. And what made that leadership and ambition possible was America’s private innovation and public investment in growing industries like wind and solar – industries that created some of the fastest new streams of good-paying jobs in recent years, and contributed to the longest streak of job creation in our history.

“Simply put, the private sector already chose a low-carbon future. And for the nations that committed themselves to that future, the Paris Agreement opened the floodgates for businesses, scientists, and engineers to unleash high-tech, low-carbon investment and innovation on an unprecedented scale.

“The nations that remain in the Paris Agreement will be the nations that reap the benefits in jobs and industries created. I believe the United States of America should be at the front of the pack. But even in the absence of American leadership; even as this Administration joins a small handful of nations that reject the future; I’m confident that our states, cities, and businesses will step up and do even more to lead the way, and help protect for future generations the one planet we’ve got.”
