Does Trump have conflicts of interest in Mali? If so, they'll be fine.

CNN is a channel I never used to look at, but now it's a daily
requirement: Spicer's daily press conference has become a great soap
opera. But it has been noted that Spicer has an audience of one that
he plays to, our sociopathic president. El Jefe watches the press
conference and than critiques Spicer afterward (in addition to how he
answers questions, after Spicer's first couple of meetings with the
press Trump told him his suits were ill-fitting and that he should not
wear those light colored suits). It has been leaked that Spicer finds
the daily presidential criticism stressful.

I guess he is out like Flynn

[Alfalfa Bill]

Flynn was an intelligence expert who apparently never suspected that the FBI could be tapping the phone of the Russian Ambassador. Isn't that naïve for a man who spent the last 30 years of his life in the world of intelligence?

And how many foreign spies do you think are now working at Mar-a-Logo? Spies in the dining crew, spies in the housekeeping staff, you probably can't swing the nuclear football without hitting a spy.

You have to understand that there are two totally separate
concepts called "intelligence":

1. the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

2. the collection of information of military or political value.

The former is derived from the Latin "intelligere" -- which means
to understand; the latter is of unknown -- possibly alien -- origin,
and is used with a straight face only above the relevant glass ceilings.

>And how many foreign spies do you think are now working at

<thinks: why the fuck is it called the nuclear *football*?? Let's ask
Jimmy Wales>

Turns out that not only is it not football-shaped, it isn't rugby ball-
shaped, either (that's what the elongated ball Americans call a
"football" really is).

It is, in fact, a rectangular metal briefcase (you know the sort -- a bit
ugly but strong and serviceable; curved corners) with an antenna sticking
out of it ... placed, for some incomprehensible reason, inside a somewhat
more tasteful leather briefcase.

It contains booklets -- and summary cards for the more than usually
addle-pated president -- detailing the kinds of nuke attacks the president
can order, and the necessary authentication codes. Plus, one assumes on
account of that antenna, some kind of secure communications device that
the president can use to give the order.

In a somewhat unnerving aside, Wikipedia comments,
] Journalist Ron Rosenbaum has pointed out that the operational plan for
] nuclear strike orders is entirely concerned with the identity of the
] commanding officer and the authenticity of the order, and there are no
] safeguards to verify that the person issuing the order is actually
] sane. Notably, Major Harold Hering was discharged from the Air Force in
] late 1973 for asking the question "How can I know that an order I receive
] to launch my missiles came from a sane president?"

According to the Washington Post, America's launch protocols were put
together in the days when everyone worried more about insane generals than
about insane presidents.


(At which point I realise that I still don't know why it's called the
nuclear football. Wikipedia does tentatively offer a possible derivation,
but it doesn't sound very convincing. The internet is like that.)

Are you sure? I think a rugby ball is more rounded than an American
football.

it's a "Hail Mary"?

According to former Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, the Football acquired its name from an early nuclear war plan code-named “Dropkick.” (“Dropkick” needed a “football” in order to be put into effect.) The earliest known photograph of a military aide trailing the president with the telltale black briefcase (a modified version of a standard Zero-Halliburton model) was taken on May 10, 1963, at the Kennedy family compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.

The standard play in American (and Canadian) style football is to hold
tightly to the ball while you try to run somewhere, and people dressed
differently than you are trying to take it away from you.

Unlike the game, you don't get four (or three) tries at it.

I don't think you have to worry about spies at Mar-a-Lago. The
president may be a jerk about security but I will bet the employees
have had extensive background checks by people who have been doing
such work for decades and know what they are doing. BUT if you really

Did you ever see the movie, "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop
Worrying and Love the Bomb"? see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Strangelove
It's from 1964 but it never seems to be out-dated.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/donald-trump-administration/2017/02/white-house-failed-background-checks-dismissals-235112

"Several White House staffers were dismissed Thursday morning after failing FBI
background checks, according to sources familiar with the matter.

"Some of the aides were "walked out of the building by security" on Wednesday
after not passing the SF86, a Questionnaire for National Security Positions for
security clearance.

"Among those who won't be working at the White House was President Donald
Trump’s director of scheduling, Caroline Wiles, the daughter of Susan Wiles,
Trump’s Florida campaign director and former chief of staff to Governor Rick
Scott. Wiles, who resigned Friday before the background check was completed,
was appointed deputy assistant secretary before the inauguration in January. Two
sources close to Wiles said she will get another job in Treasury.

"She's among others who failed to pass the intensive background check, which
includes questions on the applicant's credit score, substance use and other
personal subjects."

You'd never know it. I took my MIL to see him two years ago (yeah, I
couldn't find anyone my own age to go with me). He was amazing. And
hilarious.

So, I'm taking her again, this time also accompanied by my husband and my

How did I forget to post this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4hPnZUMBwA

[Howard .]

I hadn't heard that, thanks.

This is another take on A Change is Gonna Come by Aretha Franklin:

https://youtu.be/k6YCxXQ6Scw

Her take begins "There's an old friend that I once heard say/ Something
that touched my heart / And it began this way..."

I heard an interview with her on Fresh Air and she talked about how she
had known Cooke when she was growing up -- Cooke started out as a gospel
singer and stayed at her house because her father was one of the best
known ministers in Detroit and his church was an important stop on the
gospel circuit.

[Alfalfa Bill]

Had not heard Aretha's version. Everything she does is stunning. Thanks.

Back in the 1950s when Sam Cooke sang lead for the Soul Stirrers he was the biggest name in black gospel music. At that time there was a strict separation of gospel musicians from secular musicians in the black community. When he crossed over to pop he drew the ire of every gospel music lover hurt that he turned his back on the Lord for money.

He became the first soul singer. Before Al Green, before Aretha, before Gladys Knight, there was Sam Cooke singing pop songs the way he sang in church on Sunday.

This is my favorite from his Soul Stirrer period. Love his enunciation.

Jesus Gave Me Water
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9GiXlnDNXk

I love black gospel: Marian Anderson, Fisk Jubilee Singers, the Quartets, Aretha, all of it.

I have a gospel song that is a guilty pleasure. Musically, it is, well, bad. The piano is out of tune. The recording is poor quality. The choir is all over the place. But one thing that music can do is convey a feeling and on that score this is tremendous. The choir literally gets to the end of the song and can't stop singing.

That's great.

I'll occasionally wander through Youtube looking for music and come
across amateur versions which I'll listen to. Often they're awful, but
it's not uncommon to come across choirs, high school bands, etc. who are
far more fun and interesting to hear than professionally recorded studio
music.

I was curious if there was any connection between the Mekons and the
Monkees. There doesn't appear to be, but the Mekons pop up in the
Wikipedia article on the Infinite Monkey Theorem in Popular Culture:

The debut album by Leeds punk rock band the Mekons is called
The Quality of Mercy Is Not Strnen (1979). Originally released
on Virgin Records in the United Kingdom, its cover features a
photo, not of a monkey, but of a typing chimpanzee. The title
refers to a Shakespeare quote from The Merchant of Venice:
"The quality of mercy is not strain'd"

This is an interesting NPR bit on that Mekons song:

All of his stuff? I think he's done a lot of moody mopey flushable
music, and he's evidently a pretty surly guy. And there was the
Scientology stuff, to be sure. But some of his songs are great, I'd
say.

When you listen to music as much as I do, it can get you through tough times or it can be the tough times.

Two weeks ago I pulled in a record paycheck. I figured it would be a great time to celebrate. But looking over my friends list I couldn't think of anyone, at least not anyone who hasn't already blown me off, stood me up or just ignored me. Not to mention it would be really tacky to brag about how much I made even though I have been wanting to "celebrate" for some time anyway. And I refusal to smoke marijuana and drink alcohol has had a continuing devastating effect on my social life.

So instead I saw the Meat Puppies, who I loathe, on a ticket I paid for and could have tripled my money on because a friend I see all the time really needed there for reasons I won't go into here.

I hated every minute of it, and all I could think about was how much I needed to go to the post office.
