Helaine Olen: Howard Schultz shouldn't run for president (Washington Post)
Under his management, Starbucks introduced gourmet coffee to the masses. As someone who drinks way more caffeinated beverages than I should, I consider that a mostly good thing. But that doesn't make him qualified to take up residence in the White House. Promoting coffee that inspires is not preparation for electoral office, no matter how many cups are sold.
Helaine Olen: Bill Clinton's #MeToo reckoning (Washington Post)
#MeToo is resulting in a reckoning, a refusal to let these women go missing. Instead, the movement gives them a voice. But there is a limit to what it can do. It can't give women back those lost years, those lost careers. It can't make the past humiliations go away. So let's thank Clinton. In his self-obsession and self-pity, Clinton inadvertently made all that clear. But more important, let's thank Craig Melvin, who repeated Monica Lewinsky's name and wouldn't let the subject drop.
Andrew Tobias: Minority Rules
As to how Republicans control Congress even though more people vote Democrat … many people now know this was the brainchild of former insurance industry lobbyist Chris Jankowski. I've previously linked to Ratf*cked, the book that tells the tale. (In 2012, Democrats got 84,000 more votes than Republicans in Pennsylvania's Congressional races - yet only 5 of the 18 seats. Republicans, with fewer voters wanting them in office, got 13.)
The Huntley-Brinkley Report (sometimes known as The Texaco Huntley-Brinkley Report for one of its early sponsors) was an American evening news program that aired on NBC from October 29, 1956, to July 31, 1970. It was anchored by Chet Huntley in New York City, and David Brinkley in Washington, D.C. It succeeded the Camel News Caravan, anchored by John Cameron Swayze. The program ran for 15 minutes at its inception but expanded to 30 minutes on September 9, 1963, exactly a week after the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite did so.

Chet Huntley and David Brinkly. Along with Walter Cronkinte, we trusted
these men to tell us the truth, or at least not knowingly lie to us. The
genre of serious news was killed when news divisions were folded into
entertainment divisions and had to produce ratings. FAUX News is a
success, in part, because they identified an audience and entertained
them. I really miss these guys, but today their names and reputations
would be smeared by the Hannitys of the world and the Republican Party.

Huntley and Brinkley. They were very good, especially compared to the dimwit anchors of today, but my Dad preferred to watch Walter Cronkite tell "And that's the way it is."

Oh, is that Chet Huntley and David Brinkley? That show was as much a fixture in our house as Walter Cronkite. As as kid I wasn't a news freak but those guys were unforgettable.

Those two guys are the nightly news tag team of Chet Huntley and David Brinkley, from back in the day when we only had three or four channels on the boob tube. My family would often watch their nightly news, but my own personal favorite was CBS's Walter Cronkite. I can never forget his somber report on the Kennedy assassination.

Huntley and Brinkley I believe. Watched them every night until 1962 when I joined the Air force, after that whenever I could.
So far so good on beating cancer for now. I'm doing fine. At the end of the month I'll be 16 months into an 8 month mean lifespan. And yesterday I went on a 7 mile hike and managed to keep up with the hiking group I was with. So, doing something right.
Still waiting for future test results and should see things headed in the right direction. I can say that it's not likely that anything dire happens in the short term so that means that I should have time to make several more attempts at this. So even if it doesn't work the first time there are a lot of variations to try. So if there's bad news it will help me pick the next radiation target.
I have written a "how to" guide for oncologists to perform the treatment that I got. I'm convinced that I'm definitely onto something and whether it works for me or not isn't the definitive test. I know if other people tried this that it would work for some of them, and if they improve it that it will work for a lot of them.
The guide is quite detailed and any doctor reading this can understand the procedure at every level. I also go into detail as to how it works, how I figured it out, and variations and improvements that could be tried to enhance it. I also introduce new ways to look at the problem. There is a lot of room for improvement and I think that doctors reading it will see what I'm talking about and want to build on it. And it's written so that if you're not a doctor you can still follow it. It also has a personal story revealing that I'm the class clown of cancer support group. I give great interviews and I look pretty hot in a lab coat.
So, feel free to read this and see what I'm talking about. But if any of you want to help then pass this around to both doctors and cancer patients. I need some media coverage. I'm looking for as many eyeballs as possible to read these ideas. Even if this isn't the solution, it's definitely on the right track. After all, I did hike 7 miles yesterday. And this hiking group wasn't moving slow. So if this isn't working then, why am I still here?
I also see curing cancer as more of an engineering problem that a medical problem. So if you are good at solving problems and most of what you know about medicine was watching the Dr. House MD TV show, then you're at the level I was at when I started. So anyone can jump in and be part of the solution.

SyFy has the movie 'Journey 2: The Mysterious Island', followed by hours & hours of old 'Futurama'.
It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood - to learn about the man most people have come to know as Mister Rogers.
The new documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" tells the story of the 34-year-long run of the PBS show "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" and the television legend behind it, Fred Rogers.
Joanne Rogers, separately told "Nightline" her husband was a lifelong Republican, thinks the world could use some more "Mr. Rogers" these days.
"We have somebody leading us right now who is not a forgiver," she said. "His values are very, very different from Fred's values - almost completely opposite."
Rogers said she could imagine her husband coming out and speaking up against political leaders with such distinctly different values than his. "I think he might have to," she said.
It's 2018 and kids in kindergarten are learning letters, numbers, shapes, and how to survive school shootings.
Since more than 20 school shootings have taken place in 2018 so far, educators are taking serious measures to teach students what to do in the event of an active shooter or other emergency on campus.
And while it's extremely important to inform children on safety precautions, this poster of a lockdown song hanging in a kindergarten classroom will absolutely break your heart.
On Wednesday, Georgy Cohen, the mother of a child who will be entering kindergarten in the coming school year, shared a gut-wrenching photo of the classroom she visited.
A poster, seen hanging on the chalkboard, has lyrics to a song about classroom lockdowns largely written in colorful markers. "This should not be hanging in my soon-to-be-kindergartener's classroom," she wrote.
America's 'Strong Relationship With German Government'
D-Day
A State Department spokeswoman has been ridiculed for citing the D-Day invasion as an example of America's "very strong relationship" with Germany.
"We have a very strong relationship with the government of Germany," Heather Nauert said.
"Looking back in the history books, today is the 71st anniversary of the speech that announced the Marshall Plan. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the D-Day invasion. We obviously have a very long history with the government of Germany, and we have a strong relationship with the government of Germany."
Ms Nauert's comments were mocked online and dissected by MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, who pointed out the State Department spokeswoman had been hired directly from Fox News.
One Twitter user said: "Dear @StateDept: You have six months to educate Heather Nauert on the history and significance of Pearl Harbor before she cites it as an example of strong US-Japan relations. Get to it - you may need some time to catch her up."
Fox News host Sean Hannity appeared to sarcastically advise witnesses in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation to destroy potential evidence.
The reason, he claimed, is because Hillary Clinton did it first.
Mueller asked witnesses to turn in their personal phones so investigators can examine messages sent via encrypted apps such as WhatsApp, Confide, Signal and Dust, CNBC reported on Wednesday.
"If I advised them to follow Hillary Clinton's lead, delete all your emails and then acid-wash the emails and hard drives on your phones, then take your phones and bash 'em with a hammer to little itsy bitsy pieces, use BleachBit, remove the SIM cards and then take the pieces and hand it over to Robert Mueller and say, 'Hillary Rodham Clinton, this is equal justice under the law.'"
With both new and newly revealed falsehoods providing fresh evidence undercutting the credibility of President-for-now Donald Trump (R-Crooked) and his staff, one top aide has turned to familiar scapegoats: the news media.
"You neither wanted nor expected him to be the president," Kellyanne Conway told reporters Wednesday. "The president says plenty of things that are true and right and important to America ... He's not serially untruthful."
Foreign policy experts, foreign diplomats, communications experts and even other Republican press staffers have long warned that the willingness of those in Trump's White House to say untrue things (and at times to do so knowing what they are saying is untrue - that is, to lie) will eventually come back to haunt the country.
One GOP consultant who spoke on condition of anonymity said Trump's falsehoods seem deliberate. "Trump understands that voters expect that all politicians lie. He's made the calculation that he can talk himself out of any situation," the consultant said.
Trump typically says or writes several things each day that are provably false. In the past week, he has claimed that he has started building his wall on the border with Mexico, that the military hadn't received a pay raise in 10 years before he took office and that his stewardship has created the "Best Economy & Jobs EVER" - all of which are not true.
Stormy Daniels has filed a new lawsuit accusing her former lawyer of being a "puppet" for President Donald Trump and of betraying her by working closely with Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
The lawsuit against Keith Davidson and Cohen claims that the two attorneys colluded to discredit the adult film actress and manipulate her over her alleged affair with Trump in 2006.
It says the pair started working together in January after becoming aware of an article by In Touch magazine concerning Trump and Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford.
"Believing this story to be detrimental to his own interests or those of his client, Mr Cohen immediately colluded with Mr Davidson in an attempt to use and manipulate Ms Clifford in a manner designed to benefit Mr Cohen and Mr Trump," according to the suit.
Specifically, the suit alleges that the two lawyers "hatched a plan" to have Daniels appear on Sean Hannity's program on Fox News in order to falsely deny her alleged affair with Trump. She ended up not appearing on the show.
