(I haven't updated the list of epithets and sobriquets for Donald Trump lately, but midway through AMC's airing of all three "Back to the Future" films yesterday a new and especially apt one re-entered my head: "Alternate-Reality Biff Tannen." Story here.)
Yes, Trump claimed
that Hillary started Obama Trutherism and that he himself put a stop
to it. And yes, Trump speculated
again about what would happen if Second Amendment types got an
open shot at Hillary. Are you thinking that this one is finally The
One? Silly
you.
Also: Who really cares in 2016 about
Colin
Powell's opinion? About anything?
I suppose the only thing that's good
about Trump putting thinly dog-whistled threats out there against
Hillary this time is that it briefly diverted attention from Hillary's
health, which briefly diverted attention from Hillary's foundation,
which briefly diverted attention from Hillary's email accounts, which
brifely diverted attention from Benghazi!!! Gosh, do you thik there's
a
pattern here?

Ann Telnaes
wonders why, after a quarter-century in the game, things
like this keep happening to Hillary. (For a possible answer, see
Jen Sorenson's bit,
below.)
Mark Fiore digs into Hillary's
"deplorable" comment (which has been superseded by
about five other things since she said it only days ago). He seems to
think it was more of an unforced error on her part than I do.
Follow
along in your guide books, everyone, as Tom Tomorrow
teaches you to say
"loser" in Russian!
Keith Knight imagines a
better world.
But Reuben Bolling
doesn't.
Carol Lay
has another
happy ending. Seriously. It ends happily.
Red Meat presents The Priest,
contemplating
the face of the divine.
Comic Strip of the Day manages
to use both "priate" and "lapriscopically" in the
same post. That alone makes it worth the click, in my judgment. The
main story does raise an important question, though: Aren't
libertarians the ones who hold property rights and contracts as
sacred?
"Did you ever see a dream
walking? Well, I did." "A Dream Walking," directed
in 1934 by Dave Fleischer, cashes in on the popularity of the title
song, which had been recorded the previous year by fellow Paramount
star Bing Crosby. Uncredited:
Seymour Kneitel (animation direction), Sammy Timberg (music
direction), Billy Costello (Popeye), William Pinnell (Bluto), and Mae
Questel (the (The Slender One).

Ex-Oregonian Jen Sorensen advances
