We will be off from The BradCast and Green News Report this week, for a much-needed, end-of-Summer break until after the Labor Day holiday.
As always (and particularly now), we welcome anything you may be able to drop into our Tip Jar to keep our Prius tank filled over the break and to help put some much-needed air in our figurative tires as we head into the Fall.
I have mentioned it once or twice on air, but I am hoping that The BRAD BLOG will finally be getting a long-overdue face-lift/upgrade in the weeks (months?) ahead. I’ll have more to say about it when we’re closer to launch, but I’ve been working in the background for a while with a team of very smart and generous folks who have been helping me overcome some long-standing issues that have prevented me for years from getting this done. In no small part, the changes are meant to make the site faster, more functional and, as important, finally friendlier on mobile devices!
There are, of course, some costs associated with that effort, which is another reason I’m really hoping you’ll consider hitting our Tip Jar over the next week. One-time donations are always appreciated, and new monthly subscriptions of any amount you can afford, even more so! Thanks in advance!
More later on all of that soon. I’ll probably be back for next week’s Sunday Toons…unless I find it necessary to take a brief break from that as well. But, we’ll see. Thanks for understanding either way. Please stay safe (and cool!) out there until we return!… — Brad







“Andrea Mazzarino, Where Is There to Run To?”
When are folks going to realize that the military is the puppe tmaster and Trump is the puppet?
Interesting point, Dredd. That said, I do not think that is true. Not this time. (Open, as usual, to being wrong, of course.)
Brad @ #3,
I hope you are correct and that I am not correct on this.
It would have to be the largest “hidden in plain site” thingy of all time for my hypothesis to stand.
As much as some magas have criticized the neocons, and Bolton has lately been a punching bag for Cheeto, I think it must in some ways be appealing to neocon appetites when Cheeto says he wants to annex Greenland or seize the Panama Canal.
With all their criticism of tRump, I can easily imagine the neocons thinking when they hear such ideas expressed, “Hey, I could get with that idea; having Greenland would be nice” or “Hmmm. . . Panama Canal? Sounds tempting”.
It may be in the neocon’s DNA.
And then there’s Iran, with pressure on Cheeto from Netanyahu and the Religious Right. The neocons have always had the hots for doing regime-change in Iran. I could see a possible alliance forming there.
Nightmares come easy these days.
DonL @ #5,
You wrote “Nightmares come easy these days.”
Indeed. But also in “those days” (Beware of the Sycophant Epidemic – 3).
