Good News, Bad News

The good news first.

Life takes mysterious turns and today I took a fascinating and unexpected turn.

This is the view from the soon-to-be-new executive office suite of All Hat No Cattle.

Well, All Hat No Cattle now has a place to produce a better website because now it will be poolside, overlooking the beauty of Costa Rica. The owners are delightful, fascinating and intelligent people.

How lucky am I?

The bad news now. Sigh. NO AHNC today.

But I will post a rare weekend edition for you tomorrow.

Thank you so much for stopping by, see you tomorrow!

The Mentality Of Republican Trolls

100s Of Civilians Plan To Monitor Possible Military Takeover Of Texas
If President Barack Obama really is planning to implement martial law under the guise of a military training exercise beginning Wednesday, hundreds of civilian volunteers will be ahead of him.

Wow. Texans Cruz And Abbott To Be Disbarred?
In June, the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution protects the right of same-sex couples to marry and that states are required to issue them marriage licenses. Yet many public officials have publicly encouraged people to break the law. Among them are attorneys, such as Texas governor Greg Abbott and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz. They may frame their opposition as standing up for what’s right. But according to the ethical rules of lawyers, public officials who are attorneys defying the Supreme Court by refusing to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies or encouraging others to do the same should be disbarred.

John Oliver said it best about a poll regarding how many Americans are skeptical about climate change. - "Who gives a s--t? That doesn’t matter. You don’t need people’s opinion on a fact.

'Muricans Kill Each Other More Than Terrorists Do
Russia, ISIS, yadda yadda. The biggest existential threat to Americans is other Americans—specifically, the ones armed to the teeth.
