Saw someone wearing a Squirrel Nut Zippers hoody last week… Like seeing a person wearing a top hot. A man out of time.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

I first saw it on a "DVD" disc, playing on a TV that was just a TUBE.

Just basic sewage. A septic system. Somehow I suspect most warehouses don't have enough plumbing to handle each of those little dots.

AOL cd-roms. I know, you think they don't have a smell. But there were enough of them at one point, you could smell them.

He could do something smart, like forget there ever were tariffs, and take credit for whatever improvements happen as a result of them going away. But he won't, because he's a big dummy. He's like the pitbull of dumb, once he clamps down on a dumb idea he will not let go.

As federal funding for housing shifts, Kalamazoo pulls together to keep people off the street – Second Wave Kalamazoo County finds ways to keep programs for the unhoused and those at risk of becoming homeless up and running as federal funding becomes uncertain.

My latest. HUD shifts funding away from permanent supportive housing, and Kalamazoo County has to spend $1.161 million to keep vulnerable people from becoming homeless again.

As a devote agnostic I agree, but, in the Colbert interview (that all have seen, thanks CBS/FCC), Talarico makes a strong case for the separation of church and state, and living in a country where all beliefs (or none at all, he say) are welcome.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.

I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
