Kinda ironic repukes screaming for states rights

then claim they are above state law because they were federal employees.

Chicken Grease is probably giving

all his co-defendants in the RICO case a roll of paper towels. Fucking stupid POS.

This is so (loosely;) ) appropriate now that the flipping has started

C'mon all you unindicted co-conspirators!!

Right on cue, the Atlantic tropical season is ramping up

4 areas have decent chances over the next week. Anything in the GOM or western Caribbean will be especially concerning as those areas are over absolute rocket fuel hot water.

GFS temperature forecast for next week

Take this with a grain of salt but all models have been advertising a hot possibly record setting (many cities will be testing records over 100 years old) week coming up in the middle of the country. This is a week out and is the most extreme forecast I've seen yet, so grain of salt, but a lot of folks are really going to heat up next week, possibly through next weekend, that haven't experienced it yet this summer. This map isn't the "feels like" temp, it's actual temperature. Hilary may or may not alter the forecasts. A lot of variability on how extreme but its a good bet its gonna get hot. Stay cool, heat kills....

Who gets more money from big pharma, Sinema or MSNBC?

Just sayin'.

Folks in the lower Great Lakes/Ohio Valley enjoy these next few cool days (67 was my high today!)

Looking like its finally our turn to bake next week after a mostly pleasant unseasonably cool summer so far. We've had a couple quick hits of upper 80's low 90's but it looks like the flame thrower is coming for most of next week and perhaps beyond. Triple digits will not be out of the question in the lower Ohio Valley.

The United Bank of Kharma had to close temporarily this morning

because of an unusually large run on it's deposits at open.

I just heard the worlds biggest elephant take a big 'ol shit!!!!! n/t

The little Hurricane that could, Dora gets ready to cross the Dateline and will become a Typhoon

Dora is only the second tropical cyclone on record to reach/maintain hurricane strength in the eastern,
central and western Pacific behind John in 1994. This storm has been amazing to watch, defying forecasters and computer models prediction of it's demise for nearly 2 weeks. It went from a depression to a major hurricane in 36 hours off the coast of Mexico and has continued as a major hurricane since.

And when I say little, the hurricane force winds have never extended farther than 20 or so miles from the center. It is a very small storm by Pacific standards. It's been an amazing storm to watch, forecast to die 4 times in the last 12 days.

By crossing the Dateline later this evening the storm will become major Typhoon Dora. A pretty amazing feat.
Also the Eastern Pacific is extremely active storm wise with potentially 3 more storms forming the next few days.


Note: Doras winds did not fan the flames of the tragedy in Hawaii, never getting closer than 400 miles. However the very unusual anomalous high pressure ridge thats been steering and keeping Dora from moving North and over very warm water is more responsible for any wind in the islands.
