End of an era for Goose Island
Goose Island sells original brewpub to Anheuser-Busch - Chicago Tribune
A singular place, GI attracted customers for its handmade beers and delicious menus from far and wide, including your writer. We hope it can somehow stay the same, but we know, too, that is not the trend in our society for top-tier enterprises that put special stock in craftsmanship, and then sell out to corporate behemoths. To the gods of fermentation, can we make an exception this time.....?

Forget 'The Great Moderation', This Is 'The Great Intellectual Failure' | Zero Hedge
Comment: To function, a democracy needs a learned, engaged populace. What do the present frontrunners Trump and Sanders tell us about our political and financial "literacy".................
Hint: Trump (no policies, check it out on his web site, he begins with finger pointing: "How We Got Here: Washington Politicians Let China Off The Hook", no Donald, not even close). And then we have Bernie "Feel the Burn" Sanders (imagines everything should be free and doesn't know that socialism is a proven failure).
Both pander to ignorance, both are "on the rise." And "generating excitement." God help us.
There is no candidate on the scene who is even touching on the continued insolvency/soon-to-be bankruptcy of the USA, our no. 1 problem. That came and went with Ron Paul. We had a patriot among us; few knew.
Ignorance reigns. God help us.....

The Road to WWIII
Feb 15, 2016 Turkey is about to launch a false flag operation so they can invade Syria ---- Bob Moriarty 321gold ..
"If President Erdogan of Turkey and the King of Saudi Arabia send troops and or aircraft to attack Syria, they risk igniting World War III. At the very least they are going to get their butts kicked. They may well end up turning both Turkey and Saudi Arabia into wind blown deserts with no one alive."

Breakthrough: Scientists detect Einstein-predicted ripples
Breakthrough: Scientists detect Einstein-predicted ripples
"It's one thing to know soundwaves exist, but it's another to
actually hear Beethoven's Fifth Symphony," said Marc Kamionkowsi, a
physicist at Johns Hopkins University who wasn't part of the discovery
team. "In this case we're actually getting to hear black holes merging."
Gravitational waves are the "soundtrack of the universe," said team member Chad Hanna of Pennsylvania State University.
