Crazy

Perhaps this is one of those times just to say: It’s one crazy day:

Iraq is under attack by militants who clearly don't watch Archer. 

And now Iran is coming to their rescue. Which is not quite what one would expect considering their history.

Tesla - which may be a popular stock that has done well over the last year, but it's still a manufacturing company with some need to protect its place in the market - allows anyone to use their patents. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Judge outlaws tenure for teachers. Whom at last check were the only people who ever had tenure in the first place.

George H.W. Bush celebrates his 90th birthday by jumping out of a plane (again). 
And then Putin congratulates the other guy. (And it is a little weird, isn't it, to see him using the double-headed eagle?)

An incomprehensible story about what local police are able to say about surveillance technology the federal government uses.

In Brazil, where futbol is a religion, the World Cup is starting so it’s time for... protests. Which appear to be well deserved.

Plus other reminders of the last time the World Cup was in the United States.

Some days it's difficult to find something to post about, and other days it's difficult to choose....
