Hillary Clinton – “Trump Made My Skin Crawl”

by

Does anyone see the irony here? My guess is that Hillary’s comments are such low hanging fruit for the meme-makers, she’ll be in revise and reprint mode before the week is out.  I can’t wait for the interview question, “If Donald made your skin crawl, tell us how Bill made your skin feel?”

From NBC News, “Hillary Clinton Says ‘My Skin Crawled’ During Debate With Trump“.

In the first excerpts from Hillary Clinton’s highly anticipated upcoming memoir, the former Democratic presidential candidate said her “skin crawled” during a debate with Donald Trump.

“My skin crawled,” Clinton said. “It was one of those moments where you wish you could hit pause and ask everyone watching ‘well, what would you do?'”

Just two days prior, Clinton said, “the world heard [Trump] brag about groping women.”

 

Donald Trump Announces His Post-Presidential Plans

by

Mr. Trump announced that since he’s been such a ‘yuuugely‘ successful President, that after he retires from office, he might consider doing the same for the English Monarchy.  He’s was heard saying, “At least I’d be close to some of my great Golf Properties so I wouldn’t have to stay at that Buckingham Palace dump.”

AGW – Al Gore’s Climate Predictions a “Hot Mess”

by

Perhaps that should be rephrased, a “Hot, Cold Mess“.

Al Gore had no better luck predicting what the Earth’s temperature would be in 2017 than he did divining the “intent of a hanging chad” in the 2000 Presidential Election.

From the Climate Depot, “Global temperatures COOLER now than when Gore won Nobel Prize in 2007“.

Nostalgia – The Automat v. “Fight for $15 Dollar” Minimum Wage

by

The Washington Post, interestingly, points out that “‘Free lunches’ like the $15 minimum wage may hurt the people they’re meant to help.”

TANSTAAFL. With self-serv Ordering Kiosks, kitchen automation, and factory pre-preparation, can it be so long before the old idea of “The Automat” is new again?

Take the proposal to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, a policy endorsed in the Democratic Party’s new “Better Deal” platform.

An increase in the federal minimum wage, stuck at $7.25 for eight years, is long overdue. But more than doubling it would likely result in massive job losses and cuts in work hours.

We’ve already seen preliminary evidence that raising wages in Seattle to $13 has produced sharp cuts in hours, leaving low-wage workers with smaller paychecks. And that’s in a high-cost city. Imagine what would happen if Congress raised the minimum wage to $15 nationwide.
