Lyrics:

His destiny was just too big to spend
So he broke it into smaller bills and change
By the time he tried to buy the things he needed He had spent it all on loosies and weed and
He had spent it all on chips and Coca-Cola
He had spent it all on chocolate and vanilla
He had spent it all and didn’t even feel it
He had spent it all and didn’t even feel it

La-la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la

All the poets in the alley coughing up blood And their visions and their dreams
Are coming up red
They can either wake up or go deeper

But it’s so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper It’s like awakening a bear in winter
To feel the reckoning of hunger’s splinter
He’s gonna stretch his claws and feel his power And you are gonna know your final hour

La-la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la

Better get a head start, start running
While you were skimming from the top was sunny But all the weather ’bout to turn real crummy ’cause everybody gonna want their money
Yeah everybody gonna want their money
Better get a head start, start running
Better get a head start, start running
’cause it’s about to get so unfunny

All the poets in the alley coughing up blood And their visions and their dreams
Are coming up red
They can either wake up or go deeper

But it’s so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper… La-la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la

My father in law passed away last night…he had been sick and in pain for a long time and was very ready to move on. We’re all at peace.

But he went earlier than hospice thought he would and once the dust had settled we were left with this conversation between my husband and I:

Husband: “He didn’t get to vote.”

Me: “Nope, and I’m convinced he planned to get out early and not have to deal with the election any more.”

Pause.

“I could try to vote for him. I mean, he just died 12 hours ago.”

“Honey, he would have voted for Trump. I mean, voter fraud for Hillary is not worth the felony, much less to vote for Trump like he wanted.”

“But it would be my final victory if he voted for Hillary post-mortem. 43 years of listening to his politics and his ranting. I could WIN. Please?”

“No. Not happening. Content yourself that it’s one less vote for Trump in Texas.”

We will have a bit more political peace in our household now. The universe has impeccable timing.

re: #17 Backwoods_Sleuth

Here’s what should have happened in this election cycle, and didn’t.

The moment Trump won the GOP primary, the mainstream media should have hit Trump with a full media blackout for all his events.

Coverage of Trump should have exclusively focused on why he shouldn’t be president, focusing on Trump’s lack of character and bad temperament.

Coverage of the GOP should have focused on how the GOP got so awful it could puke up Donald J. Trump as the GOP nominee.

Let Fox News and RWNJ media pretend that Trump is acceptable. No other media organization should have entertained this delusion for a moment.

One thing that is going to come out of this election season, at least for the Republicans, is that the “Overton Window” has been moved so far over that when (if?) it shifts a bit back toward center it’s still off the scale.

WTF?

I’ve turned off 538 for the rest of the election. Their model is too reactive to every tiny shift and the polls are all over the place right now and highly reactive to every little day to day change themselves. We’re watching a fluidity at 538 that simply does not exist and it will drive you to vodka and Valium.

Not that there’s necessarily a downside to that.

Sam Wang at Princeton has been the steady hand on the tiller for me. He has no traffic to drive to his site and no need to push the horse race narrative. I go there and will only go there until this election is blessedly over.

Secret audio recordings fuelled FBI discussion about whether to pursue Clinton.

wsj.com

Secret recordings of a suspect talking about the Clinton Foundation fueled an internal battle between FBI agents who wanted to pursue the case and corruption prosecutors who viewed the statements as worthless hearsay, people familiar with the matter said.

Agents, using informants and recordings from unrelated corruption investigations, thought they had found enough material to merit aggressively pursuing the investigation into the foundation that started in summer 2015 based on claims made in a book by a conservative author called “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,” these people said.

Rawstory: Reuters/Ipsos Poll - Clinton Leading 6 Points, as Before FBI Announcement

Hillary Clinton led Republican Donald Trump by 6 percentage points among likely voters, according to a Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll released on Wednesday, the same advantage the Democratic presidential nominee held before an FBI announcement that reignited the controversy about her email practices.

The Oct. 28-Nov. 1 opinion poll was conducted almost entirely after FBI Director James Comey notified Congress last Friday his agency would examine newly discovered emails that might pertain to Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

That this woman has had her entire 4 year career as SOS under investigation
The money and time she spent working on the family charity under investigation
the money that she made by giving speeches under investigation
all of her correspondence has been reviewed by damn near everybody from the FBI to the Russian FSB

and they have Jack fucking shit to show for it.

Either she is a fucking super-villianess at working the system, they’re incredibly fucking incompetent or maybe, just maybe, she’s fucking innocent.

If Comey wants to show some fucking independence and fairness ( or an ounce of integrity), its time for him to fire the fucking toddlers that work for him that are doing this shit to our electoral process.

US Officials see no link between Russia and Trump:

thehill.com

Amid multiple reports drawing different connections between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia Monday night, The New York Times reported that FBI officials’ investigations of the GOP presidential nominee have yet to confirm any ties.

FBI officials said their investigations have yet to find a connection between the GOP presidential nominee and Russia.

The bureau has been investigating the Russian government’s role in the U.S. presidential election. But the FBI believes that the country was likely trying to disrupt the overall race and not trying boost Trump’s chance of getting elected.

Close, but not *too* close encounter with a hawk the other day. I was sitting on a bench during a walk - and a hawk took a pass at a squirrel on the trunk of a tree nearby. Perched on a floodlight nearby for a bit, then flew to a spot about 40’ from me where it started eating something.

On the ground looking at a meal

At this point I switched from the 18-55 to 55-300 lens. :)

A noisy group on the nearby sidewalk eventually scared it up into a tree. But fairly quiet people going by about 10’ away it would just look at.

A poll worker in Texas was injured Tuesday when he tried to move a Donald Trump campaign sign and cut his hand on box-cutter blades that had been attached to it.

The tampered sign was discovered Tuesday morning blocking an official polling sign at Collin County College in Plano, according to NBC Dallas. A precinct official had ordered the sign to be moved, CBS Dallas reported.
