Michigan Will No Longer Provide Free Bottled Water to Flint

The state said the city’s water supply now met federal standards for safe levels of lead, but city officials were concerned, noting that lead pipes are still in service.

Republican Michigan would like to abandon Flint and the rest of automotive Michigan.
There are no external costs.

What to Cook This Week

Fill the days ahead with some mighty meals: gyros with oven fries, pasta with fried lemons and a buttermilk roast chicken.

My energy and hope in the kitchen are not.
I will not be ambitious.
Grains, cans and fruit.

I make but do not catch puns.  Spoonerisms are fun but to work them backwards requires a skill with letters.

Farmers’ Anger at Trump Tariffs Puts Republican Candidates in a Bind

President Trump is moving to fulfill one of his central campaign promises, but a get-tough stance with China could reverberate badly in the nation’s heartland.

"It is impossible to do just one thing"

South Carolina Congressman Pulls Out Gun at a Meeting With Voters

The lawmaker, Representative Ralph Norman, put his gun on a table during a meeting with constituents to show that firearms were not dangerous.

A gun on the table is an implied threat.

Move Aside, Conor: Nurmagomedov Takes U.F.C.’s 155-Pound Crown

The win caps one of the rockiest weeks in U.F.C. history, in which Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor almost came to blows after McGregor attacked a bus.

Fighting for ones life counts. 
The other is drama.
If there is a choice, do not fight empty handed.

Zuckerberg Gets a Crash Course in Charm. Will Congress Care?

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief, faces his biggest test yet: two days in the hot seat on Capitol Hill. The company has pulled out the stops to make sure he’s ready.

Mark Zuckerberg is a nerd and a stalker who found a way to monetize his antisocial pattern.
Congress should find a way to shut down FaceBook before its goldfish bowl shuts down learning by individuals.

Experience damns us all.
 We spend most of our time being wrong by restrictive  codes. Those codes are wrong in the light of better understanding.
The truth is not democratic.
"The wisdom of crowds" is democratic.
I will go with "the wisdom of crowds" until I know truth.

Mets May Be Lacking in Speed, but They’re Off to a Very Fast Start

The Mets have a 6-1 record and have now beaten the rival Nationals in two straight games on the road. No, the Yankees are not in first place. But the Mets are.

"This is just the second time in franchise history that the Red Sox have lost their season opener and won the next seven. The other came in 1904 when Boston captured the AL pennant."
