You’ve probably heard of the ‘Free the Nipple’ group of women in New Hampshire who are defying local ordinances and showing up at beaches around the state topless to garner attention for their ‘cause.’

I wrote about one of them yesterday, she believes it’s her Constitutional right to be topless wherever men can be topless but ZOMG, she wants gun control put into place.

Turns out, she isn’t the only one of the FTN crowd who believes in freeing the nipples but not freely practicing 2^nd Amendment rights in the Granite State.

I used to fly a lot on business trips.  Without the commentary about doing the biz trips (No, not glamorous and not “touristy” that many think it is), I had piled up a lot of frequent flier miles.  While most of them were earned (and used) on United, I do/did have a smattering of miles on different airline left over – just not enough to use for an actual trip.  So, I get offers to turn in some of the miles for magazine subscriptions.

Sidenote: capitalism at its best – I voluntarily trade something that has little worth to me for something that holds much more value in the form of reading materials.  A win-win situation!

Well, this time I decided to try out Real Simple.  Now, I know it is a “womens magazine” having never read it before the first issue made it to my mailbox – I won’t try it again (I don’t fit their demographic, obviously) and will know not to spend my time reading it.  The other reason was when I read the Editor’s Note which made clear the obvious philosophical difference:

At the head end of this Primary, the Establishment was all but crowning Jeb Bush as the Republican nominee.  Heavy weights (and heavy wallets) all came to him and much was made that NO one could withstand the latest scion of the Bush Dynastic Family reputation or money machine.  Yeah, this is why we play the game – and thus far, we can tell who is playing the better game

Snot Shot – Jeb: “You’re never going to be president of the United States by insulting your way to the presidency”

Reality Chaser – Trump: “Let’s see I’m at 42 and you’re at 3”

And now:

We could call it the tale of two Bills. Both Democrats. Both Hillary supporters. One is indicted as an alleged sexual predator, while the other has a comprehensive list of scandals and accusations of sexual predation (included below).

The black Bill gets the perp-walk, the white Bill gets off.

Chris Christie is a man who speaks big on the campaign trail. When Christie campaigned for governor of New Jersey he was going put an end to judges legislating from the bench, by appointing those that would look at the law not make the law.

He has already appointed enough justices to the State Supreme court to tip the majority. So how did that work out? Not well. Not well at all.

There’s a case ongoing in the courts in New Hampshire about women who want to be able to go topless.  They believe it’s their Constitutional right to do so.

They are known as the ‘Free The Nipple’ (FTN) crowd.

From Real Climate Science | Had Captain Cook been outfitted with low carbon candles, this tragedy could have been prevented.

English Climate Cultists are blaming global warming for flooding. In Response the good folk of Real Climate Science have unearthed evidence from 1771 of major flooding long before Al Gore or Michael Mann “made” global warming; hence the call for the low carbon candles.

1771 was the year Captain Cook discovered Australia. It was also the year that the 500 year old Tyne Bridge in Newcastle collapsed from a massive flood “twelve feet above high water mark in spring tides”

“The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small,but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.”

– President Barack Obama, Inauguration, 1/20/09

Nope, still ain’t workin’. That would be one justice system for us little people and another one for Government workers within the Obama Administration. To wit:

Justice Dept. declines to prosecute VA fraudsters

A pair of Department of Veterans Affairs officials who defrauded the VA for $400,000 will not face any criminal charges, despite an inspector general’s request that they both face a criminal investigation.  In an inspector general report made public in September, Diana Rubens and Kimberly Graves were both accused of manipulating a VA program meant to ease the strain of moving agency employees between cities. The watchdog referred the matter to the Department of Justice for a criminal inquiry.

WSJ | “..no one in American politics better personifies a war on women than Mrs. Clinton’s husband. For readers too young to recall the 1990s, we aren’t merely referring to Trumpian gibes about female looks or “Mad Men” condescension. Mr. Clinton was a genuine sexual harasser in the classic definition of exploiting his power as a workplace superior, and the Clinton entourage worked hard to smear and discredit his many women accusers.

TANSTAFFL – There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.  No matter what it is, SOMEone has to pay when some service or product is consumed.  The only question is who will get the bill.  That said, it seems like the Republican elected officials want us to either:

• Not watch their hands while they play the Political 3-card Monte shill game on us
• Actually want us to believe that they are most able to suspend this most basic Law of Economics.

Or both.  I grow weary of the political charades by which Republican elected officials tell us things, contrary to any kind of common-sense, basic language skills, logical reasoning and the Platform, and in which we know is deliberately false.  Not only that, but for journalists that don’t bother to challenge them on these falsehoods to the point that I don’t know who is whose lapdog and sycophant.

Like this nitwittery of the Kabuki Republican Theater (reformatted, emphasis mine):
