CNN Refuses Trump Campaign’s ‘Fake News’ Ad

The network said it would not take money to broadcast a falsehood in the ad. The campaign called that “censorship pure and simple.”

The Trump campaign is wrong again.

Green Dreams

Melissa Clark is in for Sam, and she’s got produce on the brain and a no-recipe recipe for zucchini agrodolce with peas.

Locally unseasonable.

Health Care Fantasyland

Top Republicans have spent years pretending that it’s easy to fix the health care system and lying about both Obamacare and their own proposals.

The Republican house has  passed healthcare repeal repeatedly.

The attempt is as good as a filibuster.
No other business will be done.

Good luck to her.

Long Island Foster Father Found Not Guilty of Abusing Boys

Cesar Gonzales-Mugaburu, who took in 95 boys over two decades, had been accused of endangering or sexually abusing eight of the boys placed in his care.

I am surprised.

The New Threat to Wolves in and Around Yellowstone

Packs of the animals, once endangered, have flourished, but biologists worry about the effects of renewed hunting outside the national park.

The necessary range of the wolf packs is larger than the park.  The Ranchers are worried about their herds.

A widely shared video showed the man, who was not identified by the authorities, in a violent altercation before takeoff.

There is no drunk-tank on an airliner.

‘The Daily’: Who ‘Won’ on the Bipartisan Budget Deal?

The lines being drawn in Washington aren’t entirely partisan. Are Democrats and Republicans in Congress banding together to block the president?

I can hope.

Yellow Fever Outbreak Is Taking a Toll on Brazil’s Monkeys. So Is Panic.

Authorities are urging panicked residents to stop killing monkeys, which experts say can serve as beacons for where the virus is spreading.

People are not stupid.
All people are born ignorant.

A New York City Transit Reporter in Wonderland: Riding the London Tube

“It was like being dropped into an alternate universe where people actually like their subway.”

The London tube is visibly improving.
The Subway is not.
The damage from Sandy is not yet repaired.
The skills to repair the existing equipment are considered overpriced by the Transit authority.

Neither city could function without the trains.
Buses and ferries cannot do the job.
Cabs by any name are prohibitively expensive.
