It's under control in most cities, now, but travel some of the older state highways and you can still see it taking control of everythign.

I just got my bamboo toilet from korabrand.com today. $7.99 for a pkg of 12 big rolls. All treeless (bamboo) and all BPA-free. We shouldn't be wiping our butts with slow-growing trees (and killing our rain forests in the process). We should be using fast-growing weeds like bamboo and kudzu and hemp and other such stuff. (Exactly what might and might not be feasible is beyond me, so maybe kudzu isn't a candidate for butt-wiping manufacturing, but it might be.)

(5,621 posts)They are black raspberries. They throw out runners which quickly root, which is why they spread so fast. You can keep them in check if you cut the runners, they won't produce fruit until the next year.
They are small and flavorful, although I wish they were blackberries, which are a lot bigger and still tasty.

(841 posts). . . but because David Axelrod was one of the first two major Clinton supporters (the other: Claire McCaskill) to publically heap derogatory trash upon Bernie a few months ago as Bernie was catching fire.
Is he changing his fricking Mind?! Wow!

He's no doubt 'puzzled' like Chuckie that their 'expertise' and overwhelming political genius, has failed to stop the people from supporting a Real Democrat, something Axelrod made clear a while ago, are not really all that welcome in the party they took over.
My guess is that after all they've tried to do, all the money spent on the smear campaigns, especially the 'Bernie has a problem with POC' orchestrated campaign, he had to go see for himself so they could rethink their strategy.
Axelrod is pure Third Way and no way, unless a miracle happened is he going to support anyone from the Left.
Donna Brazile posted something similar a few days ago on Twitter. I believe she just posted #FeelTheBern and people wondered was she too changing her mind. I doubt it. She did mention Bernie again in another tweet, in a positive way.
Beware of the Third Way. I could see them deciding that attacking Bernie AND the other campaign, no doubt also paid for by Corporate money, attacking his supporters, didn't work. Bernie just keeps SOARING.
So a new strategy may be coming. Similar to what we've already seen here, 'pretend to be supportive of Bernie, get everyone excited and then begin to express 'concerns' from 'inside the Bernie camp'.
I may be getting too cynical, but I remember Axelrod's comments about the Left and Donna Brazile is clearly in Hillary's camp.
