Quote of the day:
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and
more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious
day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last
and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

The risk of nuclear war with North Korea... On the ground in Pyongyang: Could Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump goad each other into a devastating confrontation? Better have your morning coffee first. Ah, for the good old days: The threat of mutally assured destruction kept the west and the Soviet Union from engaging in a nuclear exchange during the Cold War. Alas, that doctrine doesn't work any more.

The US Senate approves a bi-partisan resolution condemning white supremacist groups. The sad thing is the resolution is apparently necessary.

Why are rich people so easily offended? Findings suggest that wealth alone, even merely by luck, makes people feel more entitled, and more likely to reject unfair offers.

"The more the participants believed in religious or other paranormal phenomena, the lower their intuitive physics skills, mechanical and mental rotation abilities, school grades in mathematics and physics, and knowledge about physical and biological phenomena were... and the more they regarded inanimate targets as mental phenomena." Study: religious and superstitious people struggle to understand the physical world. Yet we keep electing them.

Elegy for the Sunshine State- It's useful to remember this now, as Hurricane Irma lays waste to much of Florida: the destruction of the state has been unfolding for decades, and, for the most part, it wasn’t done by nature. It was done by us.
-----
Seven days of heroin- this is what an epidemic looks like. At least 180 overdoses, 80 deaths, more than 200 heroin users in jail, 15 babies born with heroin-related medical problems. A typical week in Cincinnati, Ohio.
