Greetings from Trump's America: Elliott County, Kentucky, where nearly 25% the overwhelmingly white population doesn't have a high-school diploma


Why these Kentucky Democrats still love President Trump.  (Christian Science Monitor, 7/9/2019)
That would be the party of the white workingman.  In some important ways it still is. Like land, accents, and professions, political identity is passed down through generations here. Eastern Kentuckians like Mr. Kinner Jr. call themselves Democrats to this day because their fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers were Democrats: the party of the workingman. 
But in recent years this tradition has confronted a new political reality. As the economy got worse for Kentucky Democrats (as they call themselves) over the last two decades, it seems like Washington Democrats (as they call them) just got louder about guns and abortion – two issues that already put Kentucky Democrats on the fringe of the party.

Climate change as a matter of facts: 21st-century storms overwhelm 20th-century infrastructure




Washington Floods Expose a Double Threat: Old Drains and Climate Change.  (The New York Times, 7/9/2019)
The rainfall overwhelmed the capital’s storm-water system, much of it built almost a century ago to handle a smaller population, far less pavement and not nearly as much water. 
“We’re still approaching this 21st-century problem with 20th-century infrastructure, and it’s completely inadequate,” said Constantine Samaras, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. “And it’s only going to get worse.” 
Updating that infrastructure will be enormously expensive, experts warn, not just in Washington but around the country. That’s not only because upgrades are required. In many cases, cities are facing huge backlogs in general maintenance.

FRONT PAGE NEWS. Only one reason for this bald-faced lie: manipulation of the news cycle


And it worked!

"Truly Orwellian"?  Sadly, America sez, "WHA?!"



Perhaps we get what we deserve.

Around Town Middleton/Madison: Is it Stricker or Stricker's Pond?


This information sign posted within the City of Middleton does not include an 's.

This landmark sign posted within the City of Madison adds an 's.



Actually, Yahoo, Stricker Park in Middleton is located where the red arrow points.  It's not a water park.  

The blue indicates the location of Stricker's -- or is it Stricker? -- Pond

PDQ announces layoff dates and number of affected employees but questions remain.  (Madison.com, 8/8/2017)
Double or triple the staff at this shoebox, with all of 3 parking spaces?  When it announced the purchase, Kwik Trip said about 1,000 jobs would be created after the sale is finalized in October because the company will double and in some cases triple the number of people that PDQ employs at each store.

Even without the Kwik Trip purchase of PDQ, this store has a short shelf life due to the reconstruction of the intersection of University Avenue and Parmenter Street.
