The market will shoot up when we get a jobs program

As Trading Week Ends, Investors’ Concerns Do Not - NYTimes.com

It's headlines like this that make me want to punch out Eric Cantor. Who will pay for a jobs program, Eric? Surely not the billionaires you are protecting. We wouldn't think of asking them to lift a finger. Maybe we can find enough poor people in your district to hurt a bit more so that the next time around they will think twice before pulling the lever for you.

Somalia Now Faces Cholera

Somalia Ravaged by Cholera Epidemic, U.N. Says - NYTimes.com

The world is filled with money-hoarding enterprises and individuals who have minds capable of solving the problems of rogue states reduced to criminality, subject to terror rebellions and beset with famine and disease. That we have only ineffective humanitarianism and an incapable power apparatus should give us an agenda worth at least some discussion.

By all means get those juvenile dealers

Juvenile charged for selling “Scooby snax” | The Franklin County Times: "Oliver said even though the substances weren’t considered illegal right now, they still had the same affects as other hallucinogens and could have serious side effects, which is why the juvenile suspect was charged with reckless endangerment."

The greatest hallucinogens are free and legal. They rise in the mind as signs. They bump up against brute fact. The result is an epiphany of advancement beyond imagining. But if that is not forthcoming, we have preemptive law enforcement going after minors. Happy day.

Shoulders to the wheel

intimologies: Passing in a river:

"… we are all putting our shoulders to the wheel for an end that none of us can catch more than a glimpse at—that which the generations are working out. But we can see that the development of embodied ideas is what it will consist in.

— Peirce, CP 5.402 n2 (1893)"
