Burned by the awfulness of Lucas’ last three, I’m barely hopeful (mostly, because Lucas isn’t involved) …

Happy Thanksgiving [Darleen Click]
We’ll be heading to my parents house in a few hours. Mom is feeling guilty because she’s not up to putting on the dinner herself (Eric & I are taking all the vittles to their house) … but I told her at 83 she’s allowed to pass on the torch of the holiday dinner. We did this last year when dad had gone through surgery for bladder cancer (he got

#Ferguson — the indecent Matt Bruenig feels riots are a GOOD thing [Darleen Click]
I’d label the scribbling from this indecent piece of Leftist scum troll-bait, but based on his past writing, he really means it The media reaction to the rioting has thus far been uniformly ridiculous. As much as we all love AutoZone and Doritos, hysterically sobbing at the sight of the former being burned and the latter being looted is a tad over the top. A clip of bullets was unloaded

#Ferguson – NYTimes publishes address of Darren Wilson & wife [Darleen Click]
This moves from irresponsibility to complicity in putting Wilson, his family and his neighbors at risk. “The Times “had no qualms whatsoever about publishing almost all the information needed for Officer Darren Wilson’s enemies to track him and his wife down at home,” John Nolte writes at Big Journalism, noting that “This malicious move by the New York Times has not gone unnoticed by Ferguson’s protesters,” as the International Business

#Ferguson – Vox sniffs “Grand Jury had too much evidence” [Darleen Click]
Better to have evidence, especially exculpatory evidence, excluded when one is in pursuit of “Justice” … The reason that most grand juries don’t go very long, as Vox’s Amanda Taub has written, is they’re typically only looking at a selection of the evidence that’s been cherry-picked by the prosecutor. In the Ferguson case, however, St. Louis County Attorney Robert McCulloch’s office deliberately presented the grand jury with as much evidence

Ferguson in flames [bh]
A comment from Geoff: All the burning and looting is just to strike out at the “[p]etty bourgeois” professions – the classic base of fascism.” [Further:] […] When Leon Trotsky looked at the emerging Nazi movement that mushroomed in Germany after 1929, he argued that the Brownshirt marches, parades and street violence had the effect of terrorising their opponents and giving political direction and the illusion of strength to the

Decision in Ferguson reached … the drool factor threat level elevated into red zone [Darleen Click]
No announcement yet, but I’m sure the usual suspects, from professional race-baiters to Lamestream media (sometimes, one-and-the-same) are anxiously awaiting with promises of ratings and fame dancing in their heads. Unfortunately, no blizzard in the weather forecast to put a pinch in the plans of performance art post-announcement. Pity. ********************************************************* from Baldilocks So has Hurricane Race War made landfall yet? — Juliette A. Ochieng (@JulietteAkinyi) November 24, 2014

Home sweet home [updated; new posts below]
I’m back in town and after some food shopping will likely collapse and ride the next day or two out on life’s bench. I’m not sure if it’s the stress of all that’s happening or if something more specific is leaving feeling perpetually under the weather, but as I noted earlier my own health has been in the subpar range over the past few weeks. And as I now have
