    I’m not sure how serious to take this article?

    It states solar panels will produce 10 to 25% LESS on cloudy days. That is false.

    Maybe they meant solar panels will only produce 10 to 25% on cloudy days compared to sunny days? And 25% is really stretching the range on cloudy days. Most solar panels only produce 10-15% of the capacity on cloudy days.

    Talking about energy...do you realize how much energy can be stored by cars, trucks, buses, trains, airplanes, etc...in deep cycle batteries..you buy gas to travel somewhere and that motor can charge a lot of storage cells...the entire body of any transportation device could be a solar panel as well as every roof top on the planet or road or parking lot....we're collecting all this intensified solar energy and not using it everyday......duh..we waste energy..(nerd flash from a Prius owner)

    That's a great Trump impersonation but I'd add the comb over to the booger eating it's own booger

    In addition to that already being debunked with the Cavuto Jan 2003 interview before the war started, here is Trump shortly after the war started.

    Esquire magazine interview August 2004

    Here is the quote in full:

    "Look at the war in Iraq and the mess that we're in. I would never have handled it that way. Does anybody really believe that Iraq is going to be a wonderful democracy where people are going to run down to the voting box and gently put in their ballot and the winner is happily going to step up to lead the country? C'mon.

    Two minutes after we leave, there's going to be a revolution, and the meanest, toughest, smartest, most vicious guy will take over. And he'll have weapons of mass destruction, which Saddam didn't have.

    "What was the purpose of this whole thing? Hundreds and hundreds of young people killed. And what about the people coming back with no arms and legs? Not to mention the other side. All those Iraqi kids who've been blown to
    pieces. And it turns out that all of the reasons for the war were blatantly wrong. All this for nothing."

    I don't have a problem with people coming to the country on any sort of visa, myself, so I'm not sure what your point is here.

    Maris expressed that someone hiring someone on an H1B was a "POS traitor", so I want him to acknowledge that Trump is a POS traitor.

    No, I'm not against immigration at all. You are, at least that's what I understood from your earlier post. Did I misinterpret you?

    Barfo and his clown troupe were hanging around downtown La Pine about 5 or 6 weeks ago. Sightings all up and down Ashton Eaton Blvd.

    No one got scared, no one got arrested, no one got shot.

    Other parts of the country have been reacting quite differently.

    Breitbart, but seems it wouldn't be too difficult to check.

    Is it really all that unreasonable to have a debate that doesn't start out tilted to one side or the other?

    Probably would be a good idea to check that count. I suspect that it includes a few instances where Lester had to re-ask his question because Trump didn't bother to answer it the first time.

    Ordinarily a candidate would be happy to get more questions - that means you get to talk more and dominate the discussion. Remember Sleepy Luggage Man complaining during the primaries about being ignored by the moderators?

    But since the Orange One doesn't have anything to say, it definitely is a problem for him to get questions. I agree that Lester was unfair to him in that way.

    However, the previous thing was skewed the other way - Lauer hammered Hillary for quite a while on emails, and then tossed softballs to Trump.

    So it goes.

    Who issued the visas?

    Obama, Clinton, and the rest of the gang.

    I can easily name two "successes" for John Kerry as Secy of State, but none for his predecessor. Iran deal (as awful as it was) and Cuba.

    OK, I can think of two for Clinton:

    Libya

    And Syria

    Gary Johnson: Take a Deep Breath, Voters. There Is a Third Way.

    The America I know wasn’t on the television screen on Monday night. My America is about the freedom to make choices, pursue your dreams and use your skills as entrepreneurs. It is about having more choices than just red versus blue.

    Americans want to be able to choose a president who is capable of reason, of learning from failures, and of telling them the truth, even when it hurts. Most of all, they want to choose a president who will adhere to the Constitution and will make government live within its means.

    I’m offering that choice. I wasn’t part of the presidential debate on Monday, but as Americans listened in dismay to the so-called major parties’ candidates, Google searches for “Gary Johnson” skyrocketed.

    I’m the third candidate — the leader of the Libertarian Party. My name will be on every ballot alongside that of my running mate, Bill Weld, who like me was a twice-elected Republican governor of a strongly Democratic state. Contrary to the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates, Bill and I don’t believe the United States is a polarized nation.
