The Follow-Up
by Vin Suprynowicz
And . . . checking to see how well our prediction fared, one day 
later, after ALL FIVE Trump-endorsed insurgent Republican candidates 
won on Tuesday Aug. 7 (even though Kobach in Kansas led by only 
180-some votes as the sun rose on the GOP gubernatorial primary, 
making a recount likely, there) . . . . In races which the AP assured 
us yesterday “will help determine the political landscape 
— and Trump’s standing within his own party,” the 
Associated Press headline as of 6:15 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 8, after 
Democrats lost and Trump’s candidates won EVERY DAMNED RACE,

Nihon Ishigame Five Years Later Part One:
The Pursuit of Excellence, Happiness & The Perfect Day Continues
by Jeff Fullerton
Five years. Hard to believe it's been that long already since 
the arrival of the adult trio of Japanese Pond Turtles in the early 
spring of 2014. An event that marked a big turnover in my focus as a 
reptile hobbyist; from native to exotic species to avoid—at least for 
the time being—the red tape associated with the former. That was 
explained more in depth in the first article in this thread “Nihon 
Ishigame: An Outlaw Turtle Enthusiast goes Japanese”
and in subsequent articles and I encourage the readership to explore 
those on their own rather than repeat a lot of that information. It 
was more or less a decision born of my desire to escape—at least 
temporarily the regulatory clutches of my state wildlife regulatory 
agency that I said and still stand by my claim; was insanely 
prejudiced against the interests and activities of amateur reptile 
and amphibian hobbyists.

Plastic Politics
by J. Neil Schulman
Earlier today (August 15, 2018) I sent out two tweets intended to 
cause trouble for my political enemies—totalitarians who want to 
leave no aspect of human life—even the most trivial—free from their commands.

Why Do You Feel?
by Harding McFadden
Like most things in my life, I can trace my 
problems with beliefs back to Robert Heinlein. Y’see, when I was just 
an impressionable kid I started reading RAH’s books, beginning with 
Starship Troopers. It was, is, and in all likelihood will 
forever be my favorite book (unless one of my kids writes something, 
dedicates it to Dear Ol’ Dad, [sorry Bob], and becomes instantly the 
greatest book ever written).
