Last night's dinner - homemade chili (NO BEANS!) and cornbread. (NB-I make my own chili paste from dried chilies rather than the powered stuff. Approx. 1 c chili paste to approximate. 4 lbs beef, cut by hand into 3/8 inch cubes)

Reference to KGB experiments in the 1960s - bombarding subjects with fear messages non-stop for two months and they believe the false message. No amount of clear information to the contrary can change their minds.

Live! Inside the Congressional GOP . . .
Cartoon with man speaking to a crowd. There are two panels. In the top the speaker asks, "Who wants disaster relief?" and the crowd all raise hands. In the lower panel speaker asks,"Who wants to fund FEMA?" and no hands are raised.

Agree. The jacarandas in Lisbon are putting on their show.
Delicate dark trunks of tall (about 30 meters) trees displaying lovely lavender/purple flowers on a Lisbon street. Seen from above, a blanket of lavender/purple flowers atop tall trees, with a yellow, 19th Century building near the top of the picture taken in Lisbon.
