"She sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director."

Politico: Clinton, who received $225,000 for her appearance, praised the diversity of Goldman’s workforce and the prominent roles played by women at the blue-chip investment bank and the tech firms present at the event. She spent no time criticizing Goldman or Wall Street more broadly for its role in the 2008 financial crisis. “It was pretty glowing about us,” one person who watched the event said. “It’s so far from what she sounds like as a candidate now. It was like a rah-rah speech.

The person who saw Clinton’s Arizona remarks to Goldman said they thought there was no chance the campaign would ever release them. “It would bury her against Sanders,” this person said. “It really makes her look like an ally of the firm.”

I just now noticed a slight change in light outdoors and thought, "Dude, it's sunrise, set up the camera. Dial in all the little numbers as you know them. C'mon." So I did.

Now it's cold outside and the tripod is set up on the terrace and I am in my underwear boldly facing the cold and waking world because I flat don't care. Plus I'm hot enough and thin enough to pull it off when viewed from afar, you know like Monet.

I have the aperture on squint because soon it will be bright but now it is still dark so the shutter will measure itself however long it needs to be open in order to produce a decent photo.

The phone commands the camera set to 40 second intervals. It clicks and I count 8 seconds until it shows the result.

That's not so long. Not so terribly dark outside.

I stand there in black tee and briefs since you must know and I wait. It clicks and I count 7 seconds until it shows the result.

I stand there watching the timer and camera from behind with the door closed to keep out the cold, it clicks and I count 6 seconds until it shows the result.

I keep watching, it clicks, I count 5 seconds.

The sun is coming up, you see, this is dramatic. The whole world is turning and we're on it and we can actually count down how fast we turn. It clicks and I count 4 seconds.

I count 3 seconds.

2 seconds

1 second.

You see where this is going, don't you?

Bazinga half a second.

And now it's going fast as it goes.

And after all that it really isn't all that colorful and hardly worth the effort. But there it is. They're not all visually stunning. But together they do all show a remarkable range of colors. And the proof is when they all play at once. It's quite astounding seeing all their thumbnails running at once. The color range is incredible.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

The hypocrisy.
Both Obama and Hillary vilify the very hands that feed them.

big insurance, big banks. It's gross.

"Sanders won all over income levels below that. "

"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."

This what we have been doing in most elections for 8 decades now, especially recently.

45% of Americans pay no federal income tax and they're voting on what to charge everyone else.
