That's It For Today June 5, 2017
This is my last post for the day. Starting in a few minutes we'll be replacing the guts of our website with something newer and better than what we have now, and no one at MoJo is allowed to edit the site until we're done. That will be Tuesday morning according to our tech boffins. I fully expect everything to go flawlessly during this conversion, […]

Chart of the Day: Health Care Spending as a Percentage of GDP June 5, 2017
This is apropos of nothing in particular. I was over at the World Bank site fiddling around with some stuff and happened to look at their chart for health care spending.

Trump's Tweets Threaten His Travel Ban's Chances in Court June 5, 2017
President Donald Trump began the week with a barrage of early-morning tweets blasting the courts for blocking his travel ban executive order.

Trump Is Now Lying to His Own National Security Staff June 5, 2017
In his NATO speech a week ago, Donald Trump declined to explicitly endorse Article 5, the provision that says an attack on one is an attack on all.

It turns out that Trump […]

What's the Deal With Rex Tillerson? June 5, 2017
I'm not quite sure how to phrase this, but, um, what's the deal with Rex Tillerson? The guy was CEO of ExxonMobil. Out of the blue, Donald Trump decides to make him Secretary of State, a job about as unexpected as if someone made me head of NASA. He gets confirmed, and since then he's.... What? He refuses to talk to the press. He's barely […]
