North Korea Taunts Trump. Trump Taunts North Korea.

UN political chief urges Security Council to 'remain united, take appropriate action' on DPR Korea
The top United Nations political official today urged the Security Council to remain united and take appropriate action against Sunday's nuclear explosive test conducted by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).


I'm worried. Trump hasn't tweeted anything mean so far today.

There Are Texas Republicans And Then There Are Texass Republicans
A platoon of Texas lawmakers who voted against aid for victims of Hurricane Sandy in 2013 are scurrying to explain their votes in advance of being asked to vote for the same relief in the wake of Hurricane Harvey...Don’t believe them. According to an incredibly detailed analysis performed in 2013 by the Congressional Research Service, virtually every cent of the Sandy relief bill was related to damage from that storm.

Subject: If Harvey Hit Florida And Stalled

Enjoyed your blog on crap Texas building laws. I've lived in FL and Texas and mostly agree.
If Harvey hit south FL the way it hit Texas, it would've been underwater, everything. FL is about 4 feet above sea level. Hell, a big wave surge would run across the whole bottom of the state washing everything in its path if it hit during high tide. I lived in Miami when Cat 5 Andrew hit and we were incredibly fortunate not to have suffered more deaths. 65 people did die from the storm. But nothing like the floods in Texas from Harvey. nothing.

As a geologist, I feel south FL's days are numbered as it is so overbuilt and there is no building code that can stop the ocean or the gulf. #globalwarming

Sam in LA


Thanks for writing Sam. I agree. I'm so old, I remember when being an environmentalist in Florida wasn't cool, it was for our survival, Democrat or Republican. Not anymore. #sciencedeniers

Obamacare Popularity Is Surging And Trump Hasn't Tweeted?
Underscoring the adage that you don't know what you've got until it's (almost) gone, the popularity of Obamacare is surging.
Only weeks after Republicans in Congress failed to repeal the landmark health reform law, 52 percent of respondents hold a favorable view of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), according to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation August poll. That's up 10 percentage points since June of last year and nearly 20 points since November 2013, when public support for the ACA was at its nadir.
