FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Did you know that by the time a person in the United States is 65 years old, he would have seen an estimated two million television commercials.

Hell, judging from when I watch television (which is rarely), I'd conclude the 2 million number is annually. Or perhaps monthly.

AS CLEAR A STATEMENT AS ONE CAN MAKE ABOUT THE SHEER IDIOCY OF THE PROGRESSIVE LEFT: Hillary Clinton sits for interview with Lena Dunham.

RANDOM THOUGHT: 'Politically correct' and 'wrong' are synonyms.

THE UNKNOWNS: a lesson on duty, honor, and country.



A lesson unlearned by progressive Left.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Dozens of intelligence analysts reportedly claim assessments of ISIS were altered. If you're (capable of) thinking back that far, during the George W. Bush administration it was a bad thing because the Bush administration was 'pushing to go to war'; now its a good thing because the Obama administration is pushing to avoid war.

Hypocrisy is a good thing if you're a creature of the Left; a bad thing if you're a creature of the Right.

Bull. It's a bad thing, Left or Right.

VLADIMIR PUTIN slashes Russia's espionage budget.

From my email.

ISN'T THAT WHAT WINDOWS ARE FOR? A driving app that crowdsources the weather.

POWERLINE: Can 'liberalism' be reclaimed from the left? It should be, but whether it will be is yet to be determined.

And as for the 'quit calling them liberals' recommendation, that's something I did months ago (progressives should be a 4-letter word three times over).

HEY, PRESIDENT OBAMA ignores the law when he doesn’t like it and nothing bad happens to him.

Some would call it 'middle class anarchy' but I would not: it's a reasoned, rational response to the last 6-1/2 years of progressive, ruling-class anarchy.

To paraphrase Instapundit, "I welcome our new middle-class anarchist overlords."

REASON: Obama wanders around Alaskan glaciers searching for climate catastrophe.

ASSOCIATED PRESS: Obama stared down a glacier in Alaska. "No word yet how the pathetic humiliated glacier held up under the pressure of the president’s intense, withering gaze."

TED CRUZ, TWO; Democrat minions, zero.

AND ON THE EIGHTH DAY, He created progressives.

WASHINGTON FREE BEACON: Unemployed individuals in America are more likely to go shopping, watch TV, or play sports on an average day than to look for a new job.

Could that be because unemployment and welfare benefits make it more lucrative to not have a job?

HILLARY CLINTON: an empty pantsuit who rode her husband’s coattails to an utterly unmerited position of power.

Yes.

CAMPAIGN NOTES:

Heh.

MITCH MCCONNELL TO CONSERVATIVES: Look, we don’t have the numbers in the Senate to defund Planned Parenthood. Look, dumbass, the point is not necessarily to win, it is to try. Make the Democrats justify their votes; don't let them off the hook. Force a vote and make them own it.

That's what we expect. That's also what we demand.

DON’T WORRY. Now that that dumb cowboy Bush is gone, we don’t have to worry about government incompetence anymore.

OBAMA MOCKS CLIMATE CHANGE DENIERS: 'Alone, on their shrinking island'.

He doesn't seem to be aware whose island is shrinking....

THOMAS SOWELL: A Revealing Clue. An excellent point, and http://a-shadow-world.blogspot.com/2015/08/jeb-bush-just-lost-my-vote.htmlone I made earlier.

CALIFORNIA BILL restricting UAV flights awaiting Gov. Jerry Brown’s signature.

Let them fly above public roads and highways; otherwise I favor the second comment.
