I EXPECT SO. I’LL BE TRAVELING FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS:  There’s disaster in Uranus’ future.  Oh.  That?  Yeah.  Get your moon collision watching glasses now.  Only a million years for prime viewing.

MOSTLY BECAUSE ATWOOD IS SUCH A BAD WORLD BUILDER HER FUTURE IS ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE: First, evangelicals would be sinning, second, evangelicals are nowhere close to the majority, third WHICH SECT? Fourth, New England, haven of religion…. what?  So, yeah, Canadian fantasy not happening.  Also, no one is planning it.  But even if some madman did, it’s actually impossible.  All the left reveals is its lack of even a passing acquaintance with the real world. No, Hillary Clinton Fans, Evangelicals Are Not Secretly Planning a ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ Future.

WHY DOES THE LEFT HATE ITALIAN-AMERICANS? Goodbye, Columbus.

OBAMA SYRIA CHEMICAL WEAPONS RED LINE UPDATE: The UN says Syria’s Assad regime used chemical weapons at least 27 times.

A panel of United Nations rights investigators announced definitively on Wednesday that Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces were behind April’s sarin gas attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun, which killed more than 80 people.

The findings were part of the latest UN report on the Syrian civil war presented in Geneva by the UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria. An earlier report by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was not authorized to apportion blame or investigate culpability, only to establish whether chemical weapons had been used.

Investigators also revealed that they had documented 33 chemical weapons attacks since the war’s outbreak in 2011. Twenty-seven of those were carried out by Assad’s government forces, including seven between March 1 and July 7 of this year. The perpetrators in six attacks had not yet been identified, investigators said.

Samantha Power and the Responsibility to Protect crowd that damned George W. Bush for failing to respond to genocide in Darfur were unavailable for comment.

I REALIZE THERE’S ACTUALLY A LOT OF SPACE BETWEEN HURRICANE BANDS, BUT STILL. I hope they passed out free drinks after takeoff.

But the whole story is even more amazing.

UPDATE: More here.

TALK ABOUT BURYING THE LEDE:In Puerto Rico, the electric company warned the island could be without power for four to six months while the government prepared to open 456 shelters capable of housing more than 62,000 people,” the Miami Herald reports on Hurricane Irma.

Let’s hope that estimate for the return of electricity is a typo or wildly exaggerated for effect.
