These British classics are fine ales. I just wish I could find them in the U. S.—especially on cask. I see Old Speckled Hen and Old Bombardier now and then.

Bannon wants to surround polling places with ICE. That’s a neo-Nazi fever dream. Sure Trump has a lot of goons—but not that many goons. Time to sit in a comfy chair and think of the color green.

Every other industrialized nation has pensions, free health care, free education, extensive social services … all without having militarized police pointing guns in your faces and daring you to make their day. The U.S. is the wet dream of the super-rich and the nightmare of anyone who has to work.
Far-right Americans want you to believe that having nice things is impossible, and that serving billionaires is the only thing you can do.
This is a lie. The rest of the world has solved many problems Republicans pretend are impossible.

Motherhood costs Danish women an average of $120,000 in earnings over two decades, according to a sociologist who researches family and economics. Generous government benefits like paid leave, childcare and child allowances recovered about $100,000 of that loss. buff.ly/pAtuCS0

Because the water in the Southwest is needed for farming, this is a problem that should concern everyone. The fact is there are far more people living in the desert than it can possibly support. In time it will become an interstate water war.

Trump is the kind of guy who tries to steal elections. He’s now presiding over a Justice Department that seems primed to help him try. We cannot permit any scandal of the moment to drive this fundamental reality from our minds.

We are at the very edge of peak oil. Trump and his cronies are trying to squeeze out every last dime with no transition plan. They think they’ll be fine in their armed networked states as the rest of us are left to fend for ourselves. The time to wake up is now.
I've written a lot about oilfield liabilities and how we need to plan for the oil industry to walk away from those and also realize that the industry has no plan for managed decline. Once the profits are gone, they will just abandon everything...including society.
