            • I rode out Hurricane Ivan on the Gulf Coast several years back. It was very stupid of me. Growing up in NOLA, dad always took us inland a couple of hundred miles when a hurricane was due to hit the area (I was too young to fully grasp what Camille did).

              After my ridiculous stunt with Ivan, I saw why he left. As long as I am fortunate enough to have the financial resources to leave a hurricane, I will, if I am within 100 miles or so of the coast.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where Wizard has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

                          Is that from the Federalist Papers? Can't recall. Probably because it's one those half-assed John Jay rants of incoherency that portended the horrors of that incomprehensible Irish layabout Joyce.

                          • I'm not sure who should be the most insulted, John Jay, Frank Herbert, or Wiz.

                            I'm going with Wiz.

                            • interesting questions

                              This week CNN is reporting more details on the Obama Administration’s 2016 surveillance of people connected to the presidential campaign of the party out of power. It seems that once President Obama’s appointee to run the FBI, James Comey, had secured authorization for wiretapping, the bureau continued its surveillance into 2017. CNN reports:
                              US investigators wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort under secret court orders before and after the election, sources tell CNN, an extraordinary step involving a high-ranking campaign official now at the center of the Russia meddling probe.
                              The government snooping continued into early this year, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to President Donald Trump.
                              Some of the intelligence collected includes communications that sparked concerns among investigators that Manafort had encouraged the Russians to help with the campaign, according to three sources familiar with the investigation. Two of these sources, however, cautioned that the evidence is not conclusive.
                              This means the wiretapping was authorized more than ten months ago and perhaps more than a year ago. It was presumably a tough decision for a judge to issue a secret warrant under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, enabling the administration to spy on someone connected with the presidential campaign of its political adversaries.

                                CNN: Haha. That idiot @realDonaldTrump thinks he was wiretapped.
