The Head Fake

Alternet warns that it's dangerous to fall for the head fake.

We might assume that the events of the past week or so are just proof that when it comes to running the government, Fatso is even more incompetent that we expected he'd be.

Since we now know the Real President is Steve Bannon, we need to realize this chaos isn't slapstick comedy, but a deliberate effort to measure how far Bannon can push the envelope before the traditional system of checks and balances shuts him down.

If the system is going to work as intended, the Republican majority in Congress and on the Supreme Court will be responsible for keeping Bannon and his sock puppet under control. Maybe they'll be up to the challenge. In the Senate, it will only take a few Republicans with integrity as long as the Democrats can stay united. If the Republicans fail, then there are no longer any checks and balances, and America is over.

Summer walks in Texas

Judging by the amount of water on driveways and sidewalks and in the street, some Texans seem to think you can grow concrete and asphalt using lawn sprinklers.
