For Mr. Trump and his fellow candidates
A song from the past. Truly arena rock.

Joe Hill
If you’re of a certain age or older you’ve probably heard Joan Baez sing this song. You may have wondered “Just what’s the story behind this Joe Hill guy and why is there a famous song about him?” The Salt Lake Tribune has put together a comprehensive package of stories explaining how it came to …
This is Ignacio
and Jimena is right behind him. I’m getting nervous. Too many storms are arriving too close together, and El Niño isn’t helping by warming up the ocean near us.
What a world
A displaced person is one who has been driven from one’s homeland or place of residence by war, internal upheaval, or natural disaster. There are more displaced persons in the world right now than there have been since the end of World War II, and there were somewhere between 10 and 20 million of them …
Jeb’s the smart Bush, huh?
Couldn’t prove it by the things he says. The latest of his uninformed remarks is this: “I, for one, don’t think Planned Parenthood ought to get a penny though, and that’s the difference because they’re not actually doing women’s health issues,” the Republican presidential candidate said.

Looks like we dodged another one
Not quite halfway through the alphabet this season (this is Kilo; Loke [below] seems to have passed us by), and I keep having to say that storms don’t care about their names nor about the calendar. Just because the season ends in November doesn’t mean the storms do.
This guy’s seen hurricanes
Lots of ’em.
Again, so soon?
This one’s named Kilo. Hopefully he’ll miss us by lots of kilometers. This is the third storm in a couple of weeks to threaten us. That’s why I get frosted by national newsreaders who say Danny is “the first named storm of the season.” Maybe in the Atlantic, you East Coast-centric dimwit, but we’ve already …
