No, 102 House Democrats did not "break with the president." They voted against the funding bill, and good for them, I say.
It must be noted that they did so knowing it would still pass.
But I'll choose optimism today. Maybe the beginning of the end is occurring.

This isn't even the worst one:
Incident Report: Police and Army Rivalry
A car accident turned deadly when an argument broke out between the police and the Afghan National Army. "The argument escalated and ANA & ANP started to shoot at each other," a report said.
An Afghan soldier and three Afghan police officers were wounded in the shootout. One civilian was killed and six others were wounded by gunfire.
There's a lot more at the link.
At least this is getting some attention, and I'm glad to see the Times doing its job here.

Well sure, now it eats processed sewage, but eventually it will head for the cookie jar.

I might change the site subhead to something like "Occasional Thoughts on Politics."
Or Occasional Thoughts.
Or Random Ideas, Blurted at the Merest Whim.

Gallup notes that although the term [progressive] is becoming more popular in national politics, relatively few Americans embrace it. While 12% of adults nationwide say "progressive" describes their views, 31% say it doesn't. Twenty-six percent of liberals, 11% of moderates, and 7% of conservatives say "progressive" describes their politics. By contrast, 17% of liberals, 23% of moderates, and 48% of conservatives say the word isn't a good fit.

The LeBron James special isn't even entertaining. But an hour-long special about candidates deciding whether to run for president would be even less entertaining.

Nothing like a hot day to make one think about energy conservation, and the difficulty thereof.
