The taste of rain —Why kneel? -- Jack Kerouac





I would like to believe that what fascinated Donald Trump about the floodwaters of Texas and pulled him to the state on Tuesday were the scenes of human suffering.
I would also like to believe that I’m a dead ringer for Brad Pitt.
But what Trump saw in Hurricane Harvey was a mirror of his own majesty. A storm worthy of a stud like him. A meteorological complement to one of his resorts, rallies or steaks. Something really, really big.
“Even experts have said they’ve never seen one like this!” Trump marveled on Twitter, and I read exultation into that not because I’m sour on the president but because I have eyes.

The Waters Swell. So Does Trump’s Ego.

REGULATORY TASK FORCE RECORDS SOUGHT: After EPA failed to respond to an open records request within statutory limits, the Southern Environmental Law Center filed a federal lawsuit seeking correspondence related to the agency's regulatory reform task force that seeks to identify possible regulations for elimination. "It's already absurd to have an arbitrary directive to strip away commonsense environmental protections, but to refuse to share any information about this process is alarming and simply un-American," Kym Hunter, a staff attorney with the group, said in a statement.
