Most Eyebrow-Raising Headline of the Week

Tankers call them "crunchies" for a reason


"Man dies after run over by tank at Jelly Belly chairman's California property" - Reuters, San Francisco

A San Francisco Bay-area man died after being run over by a World War Two-era tank during a family reunion over the weekend at a property owned by the chairman of Jelly Belly Candy Co ... 54-year-old Kevin Wright was riding on the front of the 1944 model M5 tank on Saturday afternoon when he lost his balance and fell in front of the vehicle as it traveled down a hill ... about 50 people, including children, were in attendance.

    I can't believe a hacker really has Hillary's e-mails. If he did, surely he could sell them back to the Clinton Foundation for a lot more than $500K.

    I'm sure you are right TSB. Hillary is going to grant Andrea Mitchell a sit down in a couple hours to counter the idea stated yesterday by Trump that she is the worst Sec State ever. gwb

    James: you're right, she's NOT all there, seemingly. HRC's recent pressers give me the impression she's in decline. She looks tired, cranky, and baffled.

    Don't know if I said it here, but two years ago I was saying that Hillary had that hard to define aura of someone whose time has passed.

    James: I got that same sense when she rolled out her campaign by citing John Lennon lyrics. She's forever stuck in the 60s, before most of today's electorate was born. Even Marco Rubio was born in 1971, BTW.

    TSB: I've been reading "Double Cross" by Ben McIntyre for the past 2 weeks. (about how 5 most unusual people completely fooled Nazi intelligence thru all of WWII and kept Normandy from being a disaster.) Which reminds me, what's the chatter on 9/11 this year? If anything happens Trump might win the big debate next week. gwb
