But you really have to love this bit: <em>Asked about a smell they might associate with this election, the participants in a focus group conducted by Peter Hart in Wisconsin this week gave the following responses: \u201csulfur,\u201d \u201crotten eggs,\u201d &#8220;garbage,\u201d \u201cmanure\u201d and a \u201cskunk\u2019s fart.\u201d<\/em>\n<li>Yet another not-terrible MSM article on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/sf\/national\/wp\/2016\/08\/27\/2016\/08\/27\/a-fortress-against-fear\/\" target=\"_blank\">folks moving to Rawles&#8217; Great American Redoubt<\/a>. They certainly seemed to have focused on people who have serious money, though. And to have forgotten, there toward the end, that 20 years ago they considered all those &#8220;normal&#8221; residents of Idaho to be nothing but crazed, paranoid racists already.

A father <a href=\"http:\/\/imgur.com\/gallery\/SVqPE\" target=\"_blank\">photographs his five-year-old daughter<\/a> in the costumes and poses of classic paintings.

(H\/T TSO in comments)\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Oh, and BTW &#8230;<\/strong> Couple of weeks ago, you v*ted to return to chronological comments and bag the current nested ones. That should have been do-able with a single click. But when I performed that click &#8230; nothing. After several go-rounds with the creators of this WordPress theme, it turns out the theme has a bug. They told me this morning they expect to have it fixed within 48 hours. I&#8217;m hoping (but not hopeful) that a return to chronological comments won&#8217;t affect posts whose comments are already threaded. That would be messy. But in the long comment threads we get around here, chronological is definitely easier to keep track of. So thanks for v*ting early and often (even though I also note you failed to invite your dead cousins and your family dog to do their patriotic bit and join in the v*ting).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<li>The Survival Mom reflects on <a href=\"http:\/\/preparednessadvice.com\/training\/why-trained-and-equipped-people-fail-to-survive\/#.V8JdbpgrJ3A\" target=\"_blank\">12 reasons otherwise prepared people may fail to survive<\/a>.
