  • 06:10:18 Retweeted @RadarOmega_WX 04:09:34 Unfortunately we are dealing with a major disaster situation in the Dayton Ohio area as a long track tornado has impacted a heavily populated area. Here is a very preliminary look at the track of the tornado.. #Tornado #Dayton #OHwx https://t.co/Lfa1eSPKvR
  • 13:38:27 Retweeted @Susan_Hennessey 13:05:48 Proceed with extreme caution on this one. The idea of Mueller getting a “draft indictment” doesn’t make much sense, the documents as described in this article don’t actually sound like a draft indictment, and even fragments of quoted language doesn’t sound like a DOJ legal memo. https://t.co/x2tBuJGDoF

  • 19:33:19 Retweeted @AstroKatie 19:28:35 Hypotheses to try before aliens:
    * balloons
    * drones
    * hallucinations due to stress & hypoxia
    * instrumental glitches
    * various kinds of accidents & debris
    * experimental aircraft made by humans
    * dunno, look, people make stuff up sometimes
    * combinations of all of the above in reply to AstroKatie
  • 19:41:50 Retweeted @MEPFuller 19:34:49 To summarize this thread on the CRS report about the GOP tax cuts:• Little, “if any,” effect on GDP
    • Growth is paying for about 5% of the lost revenue from the tax cuts
    • Very little wage growth
    • Skepticism that the tax cuts are even boosting capital investment https://t.co/Tk2zyHQlbX

Curmudgeon’s Corner: March of Icons

This week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan talk about the latest “Infrastructure Week”, the arguments on impeachment hearings, and Biden’s “unity” posture. They also talk about​ trade wars, the economy, and Bill and Hillary’s visit to Seattle. On the non-political front, a little bit on scheduling meetings across time zones, and a horrible scam about a bogus bleach cure that has been going around.
