So, Russians plan to land a man on the moon by 2031? Well, to quote Bruce Willis, “Welcome to the party, pal…” I present to you the latest in Russian achievement…

Fortune 11/1 article “The great rocket race” (Musk-Bezos vs. Boeing-Lockheed Martin)
“For more than two decades the rockets that carry countless US government satellites – including those that spy on Russia – have contained engines made in ….Russia.”
Price official for HHS. Let the games begin.
Xenophobia has also become the hyperbolic whooping call of anarchists.
The Red Cross and several other organizations reminded me today is “Giving Tuesday”. Not sure we need to dedicate one day to give but I guess it’s a good reminder for some folks.
Is this what the DNC has in mind ?
If so which state is the best choice ?

Compared to Ellison, Howard Dean looks like a moderate democrat.
NBC: Ellison has Sanders and Reid endorsements along with some other demo leaders.

Trump to have “thank you ” tour.
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/11/29/trumps-thank-you-tour-brings-him-through-states-that-won-him-white-house/
Who will pay for this tour?
Trump himself, I guess. Campaign funds? RNC? Dunno…
Sumbitch aint even Prez yet! Lol!

Pence and the state of Indiana have been working on a set of state, county and local tax credits for this for awhile. The company’s hired negotiator is a known hard hitter who forces the local government to concede or the company leaves. He forced Wisconsin and the local county to give a five year tax breaks to Brunswick Inc in 2009 (which forced my mom’s property taxes to increase as a $100 a year for 5 year special line item on the county taxes) and Harley got workman’s comp and property credit in 2006 to keep the plants in Wisconsin. If any one should get credit it’s Pence.
Any bets on the size of Trump’s crowds on his “Thank You” tour? More or less than the campaign?
