SLL combs through many periodicals and blogs, looking for interesting things to post. Today was thin pickings. The bloggers didn’t say much that they hadn’t said before. Everybody weighed in with exactly what you would expect them to weigh in with about the vicious shootings in Charleston; the blame being directed towards gun availability, racism, and pharmaceuticals, depending on the blamer’s political bent. The debt situation in Greece meanders towards a resolution, but it’s still unknown, as it has been for months, whether it will be another face-saving, can-kicking con job, or a default and potential Greek exit from the EU. The US government is intervening all over the world and no good will come of it, but it’s gone on for decades and will go on for decades more. President Obama and the Republicans are trying to resurrect the Trade Assistance Act and Trade Promotion Authority, and you’ve got to suspect that the effort will eventually succeed because that’s what their string-pullers want. A few more billion dollars were added to the US debt and a few more to its unfunded liabilities. Candidates campaigned, and the 2016 election is going to be the longest and most tedious in history. The stock market is going to crash, but it did not do so today. The talking heads said their usual—nothing. SLL suspects that underneath this quietude something big lurks, but who knows when it will surface? Enjoy your weekend and Happy Fathers’ Day.
