Adventures in writing and other nonsense
Short Story: Porcelain
Posted on January 3, 2017 by Stefani Lara
"I'm getting wet!" The sound of the little boy's whining set the Enzo Bousquet on edge. Why he agreed to look after the little brats, he didn't know. Well, he mused as he opened his umbrella to shelter the boy, he knew quite well. The family's fortune was in decline. Tastes in fashion were changing, and though his father was once renowned for his skill in dressing the elites in the city, fashion left him behind. The rich moved on to more fashionable tailors, while his father was left scrounging for business. Once, when Enzo was a child, his father commanded a hefty fee for his work. Now, well Enzo was reduced to babysitting.
"Under here, boy," Enzo commanded with a strained smile. The girl followed her brother, but Enzo didn't notice. She was a peculiar child, especially for a girl. She didn't say much, but Enzo suspected there was more to her than just a shy disposition. She had a knowing look to her. She noticed everything, which made him feel uneasy.
"I thought you were taking us to the theater," the boy growled. "Mama told us you were taking us to the theater."
"And so I shall, young Rene" Enzo replied through gritted teeth, "but first we must get you settled in. You will be staying with me until your parents return from London. I have one room for each of you. You will find your lodging satisfactory."
"Humph!" The boy stomped down the street, making sure to jump into every puddle, clearly enjoying the annoyance he was causing his temporary caretaker. The girl followed behind, almost a shadow to the man. She said nothing, did nothing, except clutch a porcelain doll with hollow eyes. The chill morning did nothing to dampen her spirits. She didn't complain. There seemed to be no emotions from the girl.
"Come!" Enzo commanded the boy, who turned with a look of annoyance, but obeyed nonetheless. "First, we will put your things away, then have a quick bite to eat. Then we shall go to the theater. I have a friend who will act in the production this afternoon. He really is a sight to behold."
"You have a friend who's an actor?" Rene scoffed, thinking the association a bad recommendation on his caretaker's reputation. He made a mental note to tell that to his father, that this man associates with the dregs of society.
"I consider many people to be my friend," Enzo replied, knowing what the younger was thinking. In my line of work, I deal with many people, from the lowly servants to those in the highest echelons of power. What do I care so long as they can pay for my services?"
"And what is it that you do?" Rene asked in his sniveling tone.
"I do what I must," he responded. "A jack of all trades, I suppose. My father was a tailor, formerly a soldier in the war. My mother came from nobility, though her family fell on hard times, and she took to tutoring the children of the president, until she married my father. I learned from the best, though I apprenticed with none. I joined the army, became a sous-lieutenant before an injury left me unable to continue. I've acted, cooked, become a banker. I worked for your father for a time, years before you were born. As much as there can be friendship between us, I consider him such."
"I think you're a buffoon," Rene scorned. "A sad little clown without a circus. You're almost as useless as a woman. Worse than that thing following us."
"That's a horrible thing to say," the girl spoke up. "Useless as a woman? You're the one who's useless. What a terrible thing to say to our friend."
"Thank you," Enzo said, startled at her quiet defense. Until now, he was unsure if she could even speak. She only murmured unintelligibly at the doll, stroking its silk hair. That she should speak up defiantly against her brother struck him as ominous, though he couldn't figure out why.
"Oh, letting little girls defend you now? You're pathetic."
"In here," Enzo ignored the jibe, instead opening an ornate iron door. The dwelling was small, at least to what the children were accustomed to. Rene looked around and sneered, but Mathilde looked around dreamily, her eyes alight with excitement and expectation.
"This place is smaller than our servant's quarters." Rene spat maliciously. "I demand you take us somewhere better. Take us home."
"You're father left you in my care," Enzo sighed, regretting that he agreed to watch the brats for what amounted to nearly a years wage. "You are to remain here for the next two months, or until your parent's return from London."
"This place is wonderful," Mathilde mused in a singsong tone. "Isn't it Celia?"
"Celia?" Enzo asked
"That stupid doll," Rene growled. "Give me that!" He made to tear the doll out of his sister's arms, but Mathilde parried his attempt with a swipe of her arm. Rene tried again, but this time Mathilde grabbed her brother's arm, twisted it, and shoved him into the wall. "Let go of me!"
"Not until you apologize to Celia," Mathilde informed her brother harshly. "I won't tolerate that kind of disrespect, and neither will Celia."
Enzo looked on, unsure of whether he should intervene, but the look on the girl's face had morphed into something else. She no longer looked like the innocent little girl that had walked quietly behind him. Her face looked bestial, feral, almost demonic. Her eyes looked almost as hollow as the dolls eyes had been.
"Let go of me!" Rene said, this time pleading, his eyes tearing up. "You're going to break my arm! Please stop!"
"Let him go," Enzo said calmly, gently touching Mathilde on her shoulder. "And Rene, apologize."
"I'm sorry," Rene cried. "Please, I'm sorry!"
"That wasn't all that hard, was it?" Mathilde gave a tinkling laugh, her face returning to normal as she released Rene. "Where's my room, Monsieur Bousquet?"
"What? Oh, it's up the stairs. Follow me. You too, Rene."
Enzo climbed the flight up to the next floor. "You will sleep here, Rene," Enzo pointed to the room on the left. "Mathilde, you will have this room here," he pointed to the door on the right.
"Where do you sleep?" Mathilde inquired.
"At the end of the corridor," Enzo replied, unnerved by the seemingly innocent question. "You're things are already in your room. Change and we will leave in an hour."
Enzo waited for the children to walk into their room before retiring to his. He sat at a small desk he had tucked away in the corner and waited. He tried to push the memory from his mind, but the look on Mathilde's face seemed to be burned into his mind. There was something inhuman to her, and he wondered if….
He stood up and strode to a cabinet where he stashed his personal correspondences, ruffled through several folders, until he found what he was looking for, a letter from Monsieur Astier, the children's father. He returned to his desk, sat down, and began to read.
We must depart at once, and with all due haste. Faustine is having nightmares, insisting that my sweet Mathilde is possessed by the devil. I have no use for that nonsense. Why did our fathers fight for over a century ago, to rid ourselves of the oppression of the crown and the subjugation to the papacy? No! Devils indeed!
I shall take my dear Faustine to London, to a colleague of mine who has begun to dabble with the study of the human mind. He believes he can help her. Perhaps the stresses of raising children is too much for her, or perhaps losing her father in that horrific fire last year has taken its toll. We inherited everything in his inventory, sold what could be salvaged, except for a doll that Mathilde has grown fond of. Maybe….
Enzo set the letter down, his brows furrowed in concentration. Possessed by the devil. That's what she believed. Could it be? Could such a thing be possible? He didn't believe in such things, but all the same, he was haunted with the belief in Mother Church, forced to take the sacraments by his overbearing mother until he was old enough to refuse to take part in that superstition.
But witnessing what he saw, what if it wasn't superstition? What if the devil was real? Satan, Lucifer, the Morningstar? What if he was real? What if he could possess the body of mortals? What if Mathilde was being influenced by the Prince of Darkness?
He shook his head and laughed. Certainly it was a trick of the light, or else he was tired, or hungry. He had missed his morning respite in his haste to pick up the children. His mind was playing tricks on him. Perhaps he needed to see this colleague of Monsieur Astier.
There was a bloodcurdling scream out in the corridor. Enzo jumped from his chair, raced to the door, and threw it open. Rene was pinned to the wall again, his feet dangling a foot from the ground, Mathilde grabbing him with one hand by the neck. Again, her face was demonic, and a power radiated from her being, and it hit Enzo in waves, like heat from the furnace, except many times more powerful.
"What's this?" Enzo demanded, terror clutching at his heart.
"He insulted Celia again," Mathilde replied, her voice harsh, lower than it should be. "There shall be no forgiveness this time."
"No! Wait!" Enzo cried, not daring to get closer, but inching forward all the same. "Please, you don't have to do this. Let's talk this through. Can you put him down? Will you at least look at me?"
Mathilde turned her head, and her eye sockets were empty causing Enzo to screech in terror. "Mon Dieu!"
Mathilde laughed as she threw Rene to the ground like a ragdoll, a cold, mirthless laugh. Enzo looked around, wishing he had a Crucifix or Holy Water, or anything. He caught sight of the porcelain doll on the ground, and what he saw made his heart falter for a moment.
Enzo fell back, unable to speak, mortally afraid for the first time in all his life, pleading to a God he didn't believe in until now. Mathilde's eyes were staring back at him from Celia's porcelain face, pleading to him, begging to be released from her imprisonment.
"I know you're heart's desire, Enzo Bousquet. You fancy yourself a lady's man? You love to bed with wives of those you call friends and patrons. Why don't you show me what you can do!"

This chapter is based on Acts 8.
After the death of Stephen there arose against the believers in Jerusalem a persecution so relentless that "they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria." Saul "made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison." Of his zeal in this cruel work he said at a later date: "I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison.... And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities." That Stephen was not the only one who suffered death may be seen from Saul's own words, "And when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them." Acts 26:9-11.AA 103.1
At this time of peril Nicodemus came forward in fearless avowal of his faith in the crucified Saviour. Nicodemus was a member of the Sanhedrin and with others had been stirred by the teaching of Jesus. As he had witnessed Christ's wonderful works, the conviction had fastened itself upon his mind that this was the Sent of God. Too proud openly to acknowledge himself in sympathy with the Galilean Teacher, he had sought a secret interview. In this interview Jesus had unfolded to him the plan of salvation and His mission to the world, yet still Nicodemus had hesitated. He hid the truth in his heart, and for three years there was little apparent fruit. But while Nicodemus had not publicly acknowledged Christ, he had in the Sanhedrin council repeatedly thwarted the schemes of the priests to destroy Him. When at last Christ had been lifted up on the cross, Nicodemus remembered the words that He had spoken to him in the night interview on the Mount of Olives, "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up" (John 3:14); and he saw in Jesus the world's Redeemer.AA 104.1
With Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus had borne the expense of the burial of Jesus. The disciples had been afraid to show themselves openly as Christ's followers, but Nicodemus and Joseph had come boldly to their aid. The help of these rich and honored men was greatly needed in that hour of darkness. They had been able to do for their dead Master what it would have been impossible for the poor disciples to do; and their wealth and influence had protected them, in a great measure, from the malice of the priests and rulers.AA 104.2
Now, when the Jews were trying to destroy the infant church, Nicodemus came forward in its defense. No longer cautious and questioning, he encouraged the faith of the disciples and used his wealth in helping to sustain the church at Jerusalem and in advancing the work of the gospel. Those who in other days had paid him reverence, now scorned and persecuted him, and he became poor in this world's goods; yet he faltered not in the defense of his faith.AA 105.1
The persecution that came upon the church in Jerusalem resulted in giving a great impetus to the work of the gospel. Success had attended the ministry of the word in that place, and there was danger that the disciples would linger there too long, unmindful of the Saviour's commission to go to all the world. Forgetting that strength to resist evil is best gained by aggressive service, they began to think that they had no work so important as that of shielding the church in Jerusalem from the attacks of the enemy. Instead of educating the new converts to carry the gospel to those who had not heard it, they were in danger of taking a course that would lead all to be satisfied with what had been accomplished. To scatter His representatives abroad, where they could work for others, God permitted persecution to come upon them. Driven from Jerusalem, the believers "went everywhere preaching the word."AA 105.2
Among those to whom the Saviour had given the commission, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations" (Matthew 28:19), were many from the humbler walks of life—men and women who had learned to love their Lord and who had determined to follow His example of unselfish service. To these lowly ones, as well as to the disciples who had been with the Saviour during His earthly ministry, had been given a precious trust. They were to carry to the world the glad tidings of salvation through Christ.AA 105.3
When they were scattered by persecution they went forth filled with missionary zeal. They realized the responsibility of their mission. They knew that they held in their hands the bread of life for a famishing world; and they were constrained by the love of Christ to break this bread to all who were in need. The Lord wrought through them. Wherever they went, the sick were healed and the poor had the gospel preached unto them.AA 106.1
Philip, one of the seven deacons, was among those driven from Jerusalem. He "went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits ... came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city."AA 106.2
Christ's message to the Samaritan woman with whom He had talked at Jacob's well had borne fruit. After listening to His words, the woman had gone to the men of the city, saying, "Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?" They went with her, heard Jesus, and believed on Him. Anxious to hear more, they begged Him to remain. For two days He stayed with them, "and many more believed because of His own word." John 4:29, 41.AA 106.3
And when His disciples were driven from Jerusalem, some found in Samaria a safe asylum. The Samaritans welcomed these messengers of the gospel, and the Jewish converts gathered a precious harvest from among those who had once been their bitterest enemies.AA 106.4
Philip's work in Samaria was marked with great success, and, thus encouraged, he sent to Jerusalem for help. The apostles now perceived more fully the meaning of the words of Christ, "Ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Acts 1:8.AA 107.1
While Philip was still in Samaria, he was directed by a heavenly messenger to "go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza.... And he arose and went." He did not question the call, nor did he hesitate to obey; for he had learned the lesson of conformity to God's will.AA 107.2
"And, behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet." This Ethiopian was a man of good standing and of wide influence. God saw that when converted he would give others the light he had received and would exert a strong influence in favor of the gospel. Angels of God were attending this seeker for light, and he was being drawn to the Saviour. By the ministration of the Holy Spirit the Lord brought him into touch with one who could lead him to the light.AA 107.3
Philip was directed to go to the Ethiopian and explain to him the prophecy that he was reading. "Go near," the Spirit said, "and join thyself to this chariot." As Philip drew near, he asked the eunuch, "Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him." The scripture that he was reading was the prophecy of Isaiah relating to Christ: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened He not His mouth: in His humiliation His judgment was taken away: and who shall declare His generation? for His life is taken from the earth."AA 107.4
"Of whom speaketh the prophet this?" the eunuch asked, "of himself, or of some other man?" Then Philip opened to him the great truth of redemption. Beginning at the same scripture, he "preached unto him Jesus."AA 108.1
The man's heart thrilled with interest as the Scriptures were explained to him; and when the disciple had finished, he was ready to accept the light given. He did not make his high worldly position an excuse for refusing the gospel. "As they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.AA 108.2
"And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea."AA 108.3
This Ethiopian represented a large class who need to be taught by such missionaries as Philip—men who will hear the voice of God and go where He sends them. There are many who are reading the Scriptures who cannot understand their true import. All over the world men and women are looking wistfully to heaven. Prayers and tears and inquiries go up from souls longing for light, for grace, for the Holy Spirit. Many are on the verge of the kingdom, waiting only to be gathered in.AA 109.1
An angel guided Philip to the one who was seeking for light and who was ready to receive the gospel, and today angels will guide the footsteps of those workers who will allow the Holy Spirit to sanctify their tongues and refine and ennoble their hearts. The angel sent to Philip could himself have done the work for the Ethiopian, but this is not God's way of working. It is His plan that men are to work for their fellow men.AA 109.2
In the trust given to the first disciples, believers in every age have shared. Everyone who has received the gospel has been given sacred truth to impart to the world. God's faithful people have always been aggressive missionaries, consecrating their resources to the honor of His name and wisely using their talents in His service.AA 109.3
The unselfish labor of Christians in the past should be to us an object lesson and an inspiration. The members of God's church are to be zealous of good works, separating from worldly ambition and walking in the footsteps of Him who went about doing good. With hearts filled with sympathy and compassion, they are to minister to those in need of help, bringing to sinners a knowledge of the Saviour's love. Such work calls for laborious effort, but it brings a rich reward. Those who engage in it with sincerity of purpose will see souls won to the Saviour, for the influence that attends the practical carrying out of the divine commission is irresistible.AA 109.4
Not upon the ordained minister only rests the responsibility of going forth to fulfill this commission. Everyone who has received Christ is called to work for the salvation of his fellow men. "The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come." Revelation 22:17. The charge to give this invitation includes the entire church. Everyone who has heard the invitation is to echo the message from hill and valley, saying, "Come."AA 110.1
It is fatal mistake to suppose that the work of soul-saving depends alone upon the ministry. The humble, consecrated believer upon whom the Master of the vineyard places a burden for souls is to be given encouragement by the men upon whom the Lord has laid larger responsibilities. Those who stand as leaders in the church of God are to realize that the Saviour's commission is given to all who believe in His name. God will send forth into His vineyard many who have not been dedicated to the ministry by the laying on of hands.AA 110.2
Hundreds, yea, thousands, who have heard the message of salvation are still idlers in the market place, when they might be engaged in some line of active service. To these Christ is saying, "Why stand ye here all the day idle?" and He adds, "Go ye also into the vineyard." Matthew 20:6, 7. Why is it that many more do not respond to the call? Is it because they think themselves excused in that they do not stand in the pulpit? Let them understand that there is a large work to be done outside the pulpit by thousands of consecrated lay members.AA 110.3
Long has God waited for the spirit of service to take possession of the whole church so that everyone shall be working for Him according to his ability. When the members of the church of God do their appointed work in the needy fields at home and abroad, in fulfillment of the gospel commission, the whole world will soon be warned and the Lord Jesus will return to this earth with power and great glory. "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." Matthew 24:14.AA 111.1


We're changing it up a bit today with two classic house sets from Derrick Carter. Considering the age of the recordings (SOA in Dallas closed down in the late 90s) and that the original source material was likely some rave kid's tape, they still sound very clean. I'm not sure if Smokin Stacks was a mixtape release or also a recording. There was an underground venue in the mid-90s in Dallas called the Smoke Stacks so it's possible it's name derived from that.

Tropical Moisture, Not A Storm, Is On The Way To Florida In Coming Days
WUSF Public Media - WUSF 89.7 | By Jeff Huffman

The threat of rain will be higher in northern areas.
Rain chances will be on the rise this weekend across the Florida Panhandle and northern third of the peninsula, where abnormally dry conditions have recently been observed. Tropical moisture may also spread across the rest of the state early next week, although a significant threat from a tropical storm is unlikely.
The rainy season began late and has been underwhelming so far this year in The Sunshine State. Drought conditions have persisted in South Florida, abnormally dry conditions have spread across much of North Florida, and only some of the deficit has been erased across central Florida, this according to the latest Drought Monitor released by the National Drought Mitigation Center on Thursday.
USDA/NOAA
A shift in the winds this weekend to be more out of the southwest will allow deeper levels of moisture to move across Florida. A weak front will also be approaching from the north late Saturday and Sunday, triggering numerous showers and thunderstorms ahead of it. Since the front is unlikely to move much farther south than the I-10 corridor and likely dissipate by early next week, the broad southwest flow will remain across the state for several days. This could also lead to higher rain chances across central and south Florida beginning Monday.
Rainfall accumulations this weekend will be highest in North Florida from the Big Bend to the First Coast, where two to three inches could fall in spots by Monday. This includes cities such as Lake City, Gainesville, Ocala and Jacksonville. Widespread amounts of one to two inches are likely across the panhandle and along the Nature Coast. More areas will likely stay dry than receive rain this weekend along and south of the I-4 corridor, although spotty activity may still occur in these areas.
There are no threats of a tropical storm affecting Florida in the next five to seven days. However, long range forecast data suggests a system might develop in the western Gulf of Mexico by the middle of next week. If this were to occur, the southwesterly flow on its eastern side would likely continue to influence the weather pattern over Florida and keep rain chances higher than normal for several days.

Former city councillor Bob Hawkesworth. Photo: Jeremy Klaszus

The Sprawl is crowdfunded, ad-free and made in Calgary. And in Alberta today, we need strong independent journalism more than ever. You can help by signing up as a Sprawl member. Most Sprawlers pitch in just $5 or $10 a month—and that's what keeps us going.
Become a Sprawler today so we can keep at it!
On Monday, at city hall, I ran into Bob Hawkesworth.
He was there as part of the Keep Calgary strong campaign. The group is asking city council to do the "least harm to the most vulnerable" as it makes decisions about the city's 2020 budget adjustments—particularly when it comes to transit, affordable housing and social services.
Hawkesworth is a veteran of public service in Calgary, both as a Ward 4 city councillor and as a two-term NDP MLA for Calgary-Mountain View from 1986 to 1993. As a city councillor, he served under Mayors Ralph Klein, Al Duerr and Dave Bronconnier.
Hawkesworth ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2010 against Naheed Nenshi, and ran the Government of Alberta's southern Alberta office (2015-2016) under then-Premier Rachel Notley.
Today he is involved with both the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good and the Calgary Climate Hub. I chatted with Hawkesworth about civic life, city priorities and how councils of the past dealt with personal and political differences.
How long have you been involved in public life at the municipal level?
I was elected in 1980 as a city councillor and served on council for 23 years in total. And before that, I had run as a candidate for the Calgary Urban Party—and I'll bet you that was before you were even born.
That's probably true. What was the Calgary Urban Party?
The Calgary Urban Party was very similar to what we see here. It was an attempt to give voice to grassroots concerns about the way development was occurring in Calgary, and to try and root and plant civic policy on the basis of community and being attentive to the needs of the larger city.
When you look at civic life in Calgary and people getting involved in issues like that, what's changed? It seems like it's waxed and waned over the years.
It's all part of a continual process. I think you're quite right, it has waxed and waned, depending on the context for the city—whether it's growth or boom or bust. But fundamentally, the needs of the city have not changed a lot. That's one of the joys for me of civic government, local government. It's a foundation on which everything else is built.
Our life together in a local community and the important role that city council plays in guiding that and nurturing it—or not—that's really what local government is about. And at times, citizens have felt a need to be activists, because they don't feel those needs are being attended to.
At times, citizens have felt a need to be activists, because they don't feel those needs are being attended to.
You've been on many city councils. Do you know how many?
Ten.
Ten city councils! When you reflect on that, what were some of the good ones? And what made them good—where you look back and say, "This was a council that was serving Calgarians"?
They were all, in their own way, working diligently and in good faith to do what they felt was right. What might be most comparable to our current circumstances were the councils in the mid-'90s. Al Duerr was our mayor.
There was always a balance and there was a respectful relationship between all the members of that council. Despite our ideological and political differences, we made it work, and actually used our differences in a creative way to manage our way through very difficult times.
We made it work, and actually used our differences in a creative way to manage our way through very difficult times.
So how do you do that? How do you manage those differences creatively? That's something this council is struggling with.
It is. I think that was one of the gifts that Al Duerr had as mayor. He was criticized for being bland, but in effect what he was doing as a leader was setting the tone for all voices on council to feel they had a role and were able to contribute.
We certainly had our differences on that council. There were significant budget cuts from the provincial government, downloading, big changes in the role that city council was asked to play.
There were reductions in spending, but there were no major slashing of city services. We kept on an even keel and kept the boat from tipping over, and I think that's because everybody on council recognized that despite our differences, we had to figure this out and try to find common ground. That's how I remember those councils.
I suppose, to some extent, there's always some grandstanding when you're in public life. People need to know what their councillors are doing and standing for. But there were also respectful relationships. And we liked each other, despite our differences.
What advice would you give to those serving on council today who are trying to navigate through some of this same stuff you're talking about? We have similar problems to the 1990s, with budget cuts.
I think we're here, as a group, out of a concern that we don't want to see the income gap in our city become more accentuated than it is already. There are already deep financial cleavages across the city. People who are struggling rely on a variety of city services. We feel those needs have to be kept at the top of the priority list for this council.
Whatever else they do around taxes, around support for various infrastructure projects—don't lose sight of the fact that we have to be a city for everybody.
That's why I think there's such a huge turnout here. We feel, perhaps, that council's lost that vision.
We don't want to see the income gap in our city become more accentuated than it is already.
It's interesting to see the emergence of the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good. When I look at that group, I think back to CivicCamp a decade ago, which galvanized around Plan It, the city's long-range growth blueprint. It seems like there are things that galvanize people at certain times, based on what's going on in society, what's going on in politics.
What do you think is galvanizing these people to come together at this time?
I think what galvanizes is when people feel that the pendulum has swung too far in one direction and that a balance has been lost. We all recognize the need to be competitive as a city around North America, as a good place for business to prosper. That's an important consideration. But you also need a livable city where people feel safe and it's a place for everyone. That's the secret to a successful city.
The fact that we have been rated one of the top five cities globally by some independent arbitrators of these things, I think, is testimony that over the decades we've gone from one side to the other, but fundamentally we've tried to make Calgary work for everyone at all income levels. We've attended to the basics—the water is clean, the garbage gets picked up, traffic moves.
Council's primary responsibility is to ensure the foundation is strong. If they lose sight of that, people feel the need to show up and remind them. And if that means a 5% tax increase across the board in order to do all the things that this council has said they want to do—from building an arena and expanding the BMO Centre to attending to all the other things that council has to do—to do those things, it costs money.
Don't dodge that bullet. Accept the fact that for us to move forward, that's the price tag, and let's get on with it. But don't make terrible choices where to do one, you have to punish the other.
With all the spending they've approved, there's a price tag to do these things.
Some council members worry that if they do raise taxes in order to cover what you're talking about—these projects that they've approved, along with the basics—they'll face public backlash. When you're on council is that a challenge, trying to navigate that?
Well, certainly they have to keep their mind on it, but with all the spending they've approved, there's a price tag to do these things.
If we need these big projects for the economy of the city—not everyone believes we do, but if that's what council has determined—then you have to go to your community and say: Here's the price for doing that.
You can't have it both ways. Either spend it and raise taxes to pay for it, or don't spend. But the folks here today are saying: don't do it on the backs of cutting services to the most vulnerable in our community, because that's just not going to put Calgary in a good place.
If we compare the taxes we pay here in Calgary to other cities across the country, for what we get, it's a bargain. So if I were on council, I'd face that music and say, "Okay, we voted to do these things. Now here's what it's going to take to bring them across the finish line."
You can't have it both ways. Either spend it and raise taxes to pay for it, or don't spend.
You were an MLA and served on council for many years. When you look around the world—when you look around this province right now at what's happening—do you feel a sense of hope? Do you feel a sense of alienation?
How do you look at the world these days?
I served in public life before social media was a factor, and I think that's been a game-changer.
Social media thrives on controversy. The algorithms are tuned to amplify our differences, and the more we rely on social media to communicate with one another, the more and more difficult it's going to be to find common ground—to use our differences as a source, a wellspring, for creativity.
That was a thing, going back to our councils, that worked well. We respected our differences as being legitimate. Whether you're right of centre, left of centre, both of those views were considered legitimate.
So how do we square the circle? How do we integrate those points of view? That's a creative process. And that was possible then. I don't think it's as easy to do now. And if we lose sight of the ability to find common ground across our differences—it doesn't bode well for any of us, anywhere, at any level of government.
Social media is driving us into solitudes, and therefore we're losing the ability to be creative. It's just becoming destructive. So I despair, at times, at what we've become, or what we're becoming.
Social media puts new pressures on council members, too, that you didn't have to deal with.
That's exactly right. No matter what you do, even in well-meaning or well-motivated intentions, somebody somewhere out there will twist it into fitting some other narrative, and you don't have any control over it. And any person anywhere can do that.
It just makes it more and more difficult for these folks in our council chamber to do that important work of integrating and responding and keeping a balance and keeping a calm and steady course when they're being yelled at by all sides, no matter what they do.
We can't put everything on the shoulders of our councillors and expect them to figure all this out. We have an obligation as citizens as well.
You're also involved with the Calgary Climate Hub. What drives that involvement?
Part of asking for strong funding of Calgary Transit is that any kind of resilient climate response is going to a very strong public transit system. Every city is going to have to have that.
So it's not only transit for very low-income people through the transit pass, but for everyone. This is how, more and more, we're going to have to get around if we're going to make any gains in reducing our greenhouse gas emissions as individuals and as a city.
We have to figure out ways to communicate and have conversations with one another to see everyone finding their way to be part of the solution to this issue.
That's also the importance of having difficult conversations, so that when we come to council, it's not so difficult for our council to act—because some of those difficult conversations have taken place amongst civil society and amongst citizens.
That's our role, too, in a democracy. We can't put everything on the shoulders of our councillors and expect them to figure all this out. We have an obligation as citizens as well.
This interview has been lightly edited for clarity and length.
The Sprawl is crowdfunded, ad-free and made in Calgary. And in Alberta today, we need strong independent journalism more than ever. You can help by signing up as a Sprawl member. Most Sprawlers pitch in just $5 or $10 a month—and that's what keeps us going. Become a Sprawler today so we can keep at it!

Donald Trump Continues To Use iPhone Despite Calling For Apple Boycott
By Oliver Haslam | March 12th, 2016
Republican front-runner Donald Trump's presidential campaign is being watched both by those living in the States and those outside it with equal parts amazement and bewilderment. The focus on him only intensified when he recently called for a boycott of Apple products after the Cupertino company decided to defy the courts and refuse to unlock an iPhone 5c belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters.
A matter of weeks ago, just as the whole Apple-FBI debacle was getting into top gear, Donald Trump set his stall out early by siding with law enforcement and subsequently chastising Apple for not playing ball. It seems Trump got carried away, though, because in the midst of it all, he called for a boycott of Apple's products until the company did what the FBI was asking of it.
The leading GOP candidate then continued to tweet from his iPhone, and when the media pointed out the irony, he tweeted out the following.
I use both iPhone & Samsung. If Apple doesn't give info to authorities on the terrorists I'll only be using Samsung until they give info.
Hopefully others will follow suit. Our country needs & should demand security. It is time to get tough & be smart!
So no iPhone for Donald Trump, it would seem.
Or, maybe not.
Today, Donald Trump has been tweeting up a storm, generally making little sense and being obnoxious. In the process of doing all that, though, Trump has outed himself as a continued iPhone user, despite his claims for a boycott. The tweets coming out today have all been from an iPhone, meaning that the boycott didn't last all that long at all. Ok it's possible that these tweets were sent by a member of Trump's team rather than the man himself, but still, a boycott is a boycott. And this looks nothing like a boycott.
Donald Trump has been outspoken about his stance on the FBI's request to have that iPhone unlocked, and with Apple TEO Tim Cook digging his heels in, expect to see more of what both Apple and Trump have to say on the matter.
Watch Trump calling for an Apple boycott in the video below.

Teens charged with murder in shooting of ride-share driver; police looking for third suspect
URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — As two teenagers face murder charges and a steep bond in the shooting death of a ride-share driver this week, authorities revealed Friday that they are searching for a third person who was in the vehicle.
The two suspects were arraigned Friday, appearing by video from the Champaign County Juvenile Detention Center. State's Attorney Julia Rietz is pursuing the cases in adult court due to the serious nature of the charges. The move to adult court means a decades-long stay in prison if convicted. A juvenile adjudication means a stay in juvenile prison until age 21.
Sixteen year-old Na'Shown Fenderson and 17 year-old Jahiem Dyer, both of Champaign, are charged with four counts each of first degree murder in the death of 29 year-old Kristian Philpotts of Chicago. Those charges normally bring a sentencing range of 20 to 60 years in prison, but since a gun was allegedly used, the law allows for 20 years to be added, making the range 45 to 85 years.
Looters raiding LA cargo trains of Amazon, UPS shipments
Judge Brett Olmstead set bond for both suspects at $3 million, going above Rietz's recommendation of $2 million. That means the suspects will have to come up with $300,000 each to get out of jail while the case continues. Both on Friday did not enter a not guilty plea and opted to go back to court on February 2 for preliminary hearings. That's where prosecutors will present an outline of the evidence to convince a judge there's enough cause to move forward. That typically happens, and if it does here, pretrial hearings would be held on March 8.
Dyer's arraignment Friday took longer than usual, as the teen used a hearing aid and a sign language interpreter to understand Judge Olmstead's instructions.
Rietz on Friday summarized much of the same evidence that will be presented at the preliminary hearing. She said on the night of January 12, Urbana police were called to the area of Vine Street and Burkwood Court West for a person, later identified as Philpotts, lying in the road. Officers found the victim with no pulse, and he was taken to Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, where he was pronounced dead.
Police later learned Philpotts was working as a Lyft driver that night. He was driving a Jeep rented through a program with Lyft and Hertz. Rietz said the two charged suspects and a third suspect who authorities are not naming requested a Lyft ride starting at Fenderson's address and got in Philpotts' vehicle. Rietz said police believe the suspects tried to get the victim to take a different route to a secluded place so they could rob the man. When the vehicle was in drive at Vine Street and Pennsylvania Avenue in Urbana, one of the suspects fired a gun. Rietz said the bullet entered Philpotts' back at his upper right shoulder and lodged in the left side of his abdomen. The vehicle then crashed into a parked truck, and the suspects bailed out and ran.
Rietz said the suspects – Fenderson and Dyer in one group and the third suspect solo – went knocking on doors to use a phone and arrange a ride out of the area. Fenderson and Dyer were ultimately arrested, while Rietz said the third suspect was caught on a Ring doorbell camera, and police were able to identify him that way.
Fenderson and Dyer were represented in court Friday by assistant public defender Titus Spitsbergen.
Philpotts was looking to become a veterinarian, according to people who knew him. He graduated from Illinois State University in 2016 and was featured in a 2015 ISU Facebook post about observing surgery of tigers. "This experience was hands down one of the best experiences I have had here at ISU as well as in my life in general," Philpotts said at the time. ISU spokesperson Eric Jome called the man's death a "tragic story."
Philpotts attended Eastern Illinois University from 2016 to 2018. Rietz said the man was looking to get into the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine.
In a statement, Lyft told our newsroom, "We are heartbroken by this tragedy and our thoughts are with Kristian's friends and family during this incredibly difficult time. We've attempted to reach his loved ones to offer our support and stand ready to assist law enforcement in any way we can."
Lyft also highlighted steps it takes to keep drivers safe. The platform allows drivers to request emergency help through the security company ADT with a quick touch through the app. The app also checks in with drivers if they are stopped for a long time. Lyft said its staffers are on call 24/7 to talk to drivers. Lyft's statement also said, "In certain markets, we're working to proactively detect and take action against accounts we believe may exhibit high-risk rider behavior, including those using anonymous payment methods."

Worse Than Milwaukee →
Nothing Good Happening Now
It's pierogies in Pittsburgh and cheesesteak in Philly and in the middle of the state it's all sweetness in Hershey, but this was not the evening for that:
President Donald Trump mocked the Democratic impeachment effort as he sought to rally supporters Tuesday in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, calling the process "impeachment lite" and promising it would lead to his reelection in 2020.
Trump's visit to Pennsylvania followed a momentous day at the U.S. Capitol, where Democrats unveiled articles of impeachment and shortly thereafter signaled their support for the president's long-sought United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats are trying to show they can pass legislation and pursue an impeachment inquiry at the same time, but Trump said, "It plays down the impeachment because they're embarrassed by the impeachment."
He insisted, "And our poll numbers have gone through the roof because of her stupid impeachment."
There are no such poll numbers, but he feels that there ought to be such poll numbers right about now, so he will assume that there are such poll numbers, as will his base. What should be true probably is true. Life is like that, except when it isn't like that:
Trump listed some of his achievements while in office, ticking off the killing of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a deal to create the Space Force and a strong economy.
Echoing a line he uses often, Trump said: "This country is so respected. And we were not respected four years ago. We were laughed at."
Trump's comments came less than a week after he made an early departure from a NATO meeting in London following the release of video of a handful of world leaders gossiping about him.
They were laughing at him. The year before, the UN General Assembly laughed at him, openly. But he will believe what he thinks ought to be true, perhaps because that's comforting, but sometimes that just doesn't work:
During the rally, Trump also addressed the long-awaited release of the Justice Department report into the 2016 Russia investigation. The inspector general found that the FBI was justified in opening its investigation into ties between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia and that the FBI did not act with political bias, despite "serious performance failures" up the bureau's chain of command.
Trump claimed Tuesday that the inspector general's report detailed "outrageous, scandalous and unprecedented abuses of power." He said FBI agents had "destroyed the lives of people that are great people" and called them "scum."
There was some bad behavior, but that didn't change anything. The FBI was justified in opening its investigation. There was no evidence at all of political bias. That's what the report said. Trump said that the report said the opposite. He was comfortable with that that. Truth is never comfortable, as he was angry and defensive:
Trump said Tuesday that not many leaders could withstand what he's been through.
"A regular president would be under the table, thumb in mouth, saying: 'Take me home, Mommy. This is enough for me.'"
But he can take it. He loves it. He's wonderful. And someone has his back:
Attorney General William P. Barr on Tuesday dramatically intensified his attacks on the FBI's 2016 investigation into the Trump campaign – asserting that the bureau opened the probe without good reason, pursued the case even after it had collapsed and might have acted in bad faith.
In two media interviews, the top U.S. law enforcement official launched a broadside against his predecessors who handled one of the most sensitive investigations in FBI history, rejecting an assessment from the Justice Department's internal watchdog that the case was opened with appropriate cause, not out of political animus.
In short, his own FBI is full of traitors and everyone in his own FBI hates America and thus his FBI is totally useless, which was a problematic assertion:
His comments drew condemnations from some involved in the case, and those inside the Justice Department privately worried he might be undercutting faith in federal law enforcement to please the president. The remarks notably came after President Trump had criticized the FBI director, Christopher A. Wray, on Twitter…
"I don't know what report current Director of the FBI Christopher A. Wray was reading, but it sure wasn't the one given to me," Trump tweeted Tuesday morning. "With that kind of attitude, he will never be able to fix the FBI, which is badly broken despite having some of the greatest men & women working there!"
Barr told NBC News he had confidence in the FBI director. But he seemed to stand at odds with Wray – disputing aspects of the report that were exonerating for the FBI, while emphasizing the malfeasance the Justice Department watchdog had uncovered.
Wray was proud of his people. They had done the right thing. Barr was saying that Wray should be ashamed of them, and ashamed of himself:
"I think our nation was turned on its head for three years based on a completely bogus narrative that was largely fanned and hyped by a completely irresponsible press," Barr told NBC News. "I think there were gross abuses and inexplicable behavior that is intolerable in the FBI."
Trump may have to abolish the FBI and contract their work out to Putin's FSB – the successor to the KGB of course – but Barr didn't go that far. He didn't have to:
While Barr had long believed strongly in the power of the presidency, those inside the department hoped he would not be blindly loyal to Trump, who had made a habit of encroaching on the Justice Department's historic independence inside the executive branch.
Barr, though, has proved to be one of the president's most effective allies – to the surprise of many who thought he would force a return to tradition. Those inside the department say they privately worry his latest comments could have real consequences.
"He seems a lot more of a Kool-Aid drinker than I expected," said one Justice Department employee, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to offer frank assessments of the attorney general. "Once you start eroding public confidence in the bureau, that's got an impact on our ability to get convictions in our cases."
Added another: "It's this internal debate: 'Am I violating my own principles by staying here and working under this set of conditions? Or am I somebody who should stay so when this nightmare is over, we can just start putting the pieces back together?'"
Do not expect that:
In rejecting Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's assessment about the adequate origins of the case, Barr said the final and more thoroughly considered word would be that of John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut whom he hand-selected to perform a similar review.
His inspector general gave him and gave Trump the wrong answers, even if they were good and true answers. Trump and Barr wanted something else, what ought to be true even if it wasn't true, technically. And now everyone is waiting once again, for something or other, except for David Corn:
With his NBC interview, Barr demonstrated how far he will go to cast the FBI and its investigation in a nefarious light – and to dismiss the Russia scandal. He claimed that "in today's world, presidential campaigns are frequently in contact with foreign persons."
Not really. Not at all. And not in the way that the Trump campaign was. Most presidential campaigns are not led by money launderers who are in contact with Putin-friendly oligarchs and who are meeting secretly with former business partners suspected of working with Russian intelligence. Most campaigns do not seek to set up private communications with foreign adversaries while these countries are attacking the United States.
Barr also claimed "in most campaigns there are signs of illegal foreign money coming in." No, that's not true, either. But if it were, why is Barr's Justice Department not on a crusade to root out this criminal activity?
Don't ask:
Barr is a sophisticated player. He knows what he is doing. He's telling whoppers to make it seem the FBI over-reacted, perhaps even criminally, and did so out of politically fueled malice. He's flinging falsehoods to cover for Trump. And Barr has unleashed this other investigation led by Durham – who in a highly unusual move on Monday released a statement challenging the IG's findings – to get the answers (or untruths) he wants. Two plus two must equal five.
The shocking thing is that there is nothing shocking in the Trump era about an attorney general massacring the truth in this most unabashed fashion. Barr has been distorting reality for Trump throughout his tenure as attorney general. Most notably, to defend Trump and support his phony no collusion/no obstruction mantra, Barr misrepresented the findings of Mueller's report before the document was released. Proving loyalty to Trump is Barr's top mission. And this week he's earning his keep.
But that was a sideshow. There was the main event:
House Democratic leaders on Tuesday formally called for President Trump's removal from office, asserting that he "ignored and injured the interests of the nation" in two articles of impeachment that charged him with abusing his power and obstructing Congress.
So they finally did it:
In nine short pages, the draft articles accused Mr. Trump of carrying out a scheme of "corruptly soliciting" election assistance from the government of Ukraine in the form of investigations that would smear his Democratic political rivals. To do so, Democrats charged, Mr. Trump used as leverage two "official acts": the delivery of $391 million in security assistance and a White House meeting for Ukraine's president.
"In all of this, President Trump abused the powers of the presidency by ignoring and injuring national security and other vital national interests to obtain an improper personal political benefit," according to a draft of the first article. "He has also betrayed the nation by abusing his office to enlist a foreign power in corrupting democratic elections."
A second article charges that by ordering across-the-board defiance of House subpoenas for testimony and documents related to the Ukraine matter, the president engaged in "unprecedented, categorical and indiscriminate defiance" that harmed the House's constitutional rights.
"In the history of the republic, no president has ever ordered the complete defiance of an impeachment inquiry or sought to obstruct and impede so comprehensively the ability of the House to investigate 'high crimes and misdemeanors,'" the obstruction article says.
And that was that, done to keep things simple:
Democrats made a careful political calculation intended to project unity and protect moderate lawmakers who face steep re-election challenges in conservative-leaning districts.
They left out an article that had been the subject of internal debate among Democrats in recent weeks. It would have charged Mr. Trump with obstruction of justice based on his attempts to thwart Robert S. Mueller III's investigation into his campaign's ties to Russian election interference in 2016.
Such an article had been championed by progressives – including Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York and the chairman of the Judiciary Committee – but resisted by moderates who had long signaled they would not support impeaching Mr. Trump based on Mr. Mueller's report.
Democrats also backed away from charging the president with bribery, one of only a few offenses listed in the Constitution as grounds for impeachment, and a term Democrats had increasingly been using to describe Mr. Trump's conduct.
So this was intended to be simple and doable. And these were drafts of the two articles ahead of a meeting of the House Judiciary Committee, where there will be screaming, not that it matters. The committee will vote to recommend them to the full House for final approval. And then it's time to vote, for impeachment and then onward:
If the House follows through and impeaches the president next week, Mr. Trump would stand trial in the Senate early in the coming year, Senator Mitch McConnell said Tuesday. The president has said he wants to see a robust defense of his actions in the Republican-controlled chamber, but Mr. McConnell has said the length of a trial is still subject to negotiation with Democrats.
"We are obligated under the Constitution to turn to it when it comes over, and we will," Mr. McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader, told reporters.
McConnell wants to slow this down. Trump doesn't and the Democrats don't:
Democrats argued that the political calendar made their endeavor even more urgent, given the nature of the charges against the president. They said he had engaged in a troubling pattern of behavior that began when Mr. Trump welcomed Russia's help in the 2016 election and would continue into 2020 if they did not stop it.
"The argument 'Why don't you just wait' amounts to this: 'Why don't you just let him cheat in one more election?'" Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee who oversaw the House's Ukraine investigation, said at a news conference. "Why not let him have foreign help just one more time?"
No, that won't do at all:
Speaking earlier Tuesday morning from a wood-paneled reception room just off the floor of the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and leaders of six key committees said that Mr. Trump's actions toward Ukraine, and his efforts to block Congress's attempt to investigate, had left them no choice but to pursue one of the Constitution's gravest remedies.
Fine, but CNN reports a dispute about how solemn any of this should be:
President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are both looking ahead to the Senate impeachment trial, but there is a growing divide between the two over what that trial should look like, CNN has learned.
In conversations with the White House, the Kentucky Republican has made clear he hopes to end the trial as soon as he can, an effort to both get impeachment off his lap and protect his conference from potentially damaging votes should the process break out into partisan warfare. That will include a continuous whip count until McConnell feels he has the votes to acquit the President and end the show.
McConnell just wants this to be over before things get awkward and out of control, but of course Trump wants a show:
He's made clear to advisers privately that rather than end the trial as quickly as possible, he is hoping for a dramatic event, according to two people familiar with his thinking. He wants Hunter Biden, Rep. Adam Schiff and the whistleblower to testify. He wants the witnesses to be live, not clips of taped depositions. And he's hoping to turn it into a spectacle, which he thinks is his best chance to hurt Democrats in the election.
People close to the President say this is because he has been sitting back and watching as current and former aides testified for hours before lawmakers about his behavior that they described as inappropriate, problematic and potentially dangerous.
Infuriated, Trump has been told he will have his day to defend himself soon, one person said.
Maybe he'll show up himself to sneer at everyone, and McConnell seems to want to put that off:
Speaking to reporters Tuesday, McConnell said he did not foresee the Senate taking up the impeachment matter before the holidays – meaning the trial is likely to begin early next year. He said a decision on hearing from witnesses live, as opposed to on taped depositions, would come after hearing the opening argument in the matter.
McConnell is also planning to meet with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer at some point soon to see if a bipartisan resolution laying out the rules of the road – akin to what was agreed to during President Bill Clinton's impeachment trial – is possible. Such a resolution might address many of the elements that remain clear unknowns at the moment.
Trump's position is the opposite of what some Republican senators, including some of Trump's closest allies on the Capitol Hill, are advising at this point. In closed-door meetings and phone calls over the course of the last month, several Republican senators have warned Pat Cipollone, the White House counsel, not to "turn the Senate into a circus," according to one Republican senator.
That's the only battle being fought at the moment. Everything else is now set and Thomas Friedman frames the next battle this way:
Generally speaking, I believe presidents should be elected and removed by the voters at the polls. But when I hear Trump defenders scream, "Impeachment subverts the will of the people," I say: "Really? What the hell do you think Trump was doing in Ukraine?" He was subverting the will of the people by scheming to use our tax dollars to knock out his most feared opponent in the coming election – rather than trusting voters to do that.
The only reason the plot was aborted was that a whistle-blower from the intelligence community drew attention to the president's plan, forcing him to release the money to Ukraine – moments before his shakedown exploded into public view. Trump was like a bank robber with a gun to a teller's head, who suddenly heard the police sirens approaching and ran off before he could stash the money in his bag.
So while the founders wanted to reserve removal of a president for elections by the people, they understood that there could be situations when removing a president might be necessary to protect and preserve our very framework for holding free and fair elections. That framework is the Constitution and the rule of law – and this is one of those situations.
And this must be done:
If we say, as Republicans do, that what Trump did is not an impeachable offense, we are telling ourselves and every future president that – in direct contradiction of what the founders wrote in the Constitution – it is okay to enlist a foreign power to tilt the election your way. Can you imagine how much money candidates could raise from Saudi Arabia or China to tilt a future election their way, or how many cyber-warriors they could enlist from Russia or Iran to create fake news, suppress voting or spur outrage?
The integrity of our elections would be shattered, and we would never again have a legitimate president – a president, who, whether or not you liked him or her, was at least seen as legitimately elected. That would be a prescription for permanent political chaos, as no future presidents' authority would be respected if they were elected on the basis of foreign interference.
But that is what Republicans are courting by blindly defending Trump's indefensible enlistment of Ukraine's help to take down Biden and by echoing Trump's conspiracy theory – originated by Russian agents – that it was Ukraine that hacked the Democratic National Committee's emails in 2016, not Russia.
That may be what is at stake, but Kathleen Parker sees nothing good happening now:
Trump abuses power with the frequency of Florida showers. And he did ignore House committee subpoenas for documents and witnesses, which sort of seems like obstruction. On the other hand, the White House considers the impeachment process a sham and, therefore, posits that the administration needn't comply.
The reasons for the Senate's likely resistance, meanwhile, are timeless – survival and power. No matter how much some Republicans may disagree with Trump's methods, his style and his atrocious rhetoric – a daily slaughter of the English language heretofore confined to kindergartens and saloons – the GOP's base is unbudgeable.
My grudging suspicion is that, thanks to the Democrats, that base will expand.
This is what she has been hearing:
My daily life in the South involves what Beltway people refer to as "everyday Americans" – that is, folks who don't regularly hop the Acela between Washington and New York or call themselves political junkies.
From self-identified Republicans, I hear: They're wasting their time, speaking of impeachment. And from Democrats: He's going to win in a landslide, isn't he?
From such conversations, I've gleaned that, though some Republicans don't like the cut of Trump's jib, they long ago surrendered any hope of being reminded of George H. W. Bush or Ronald Reagan. Elegance, apparently, can be sacrificed for a strong economy, record-low unemployment, briskly moving business, a tough immigration policy and, not least, a president who finally stands up to China.
It is the economy, but Parker sees this too:
At a certain point during an impeachment proceeding, there's no one left to like. Inevitably, the least likable person isn't the target of impeachment but those who lead the effort. After slogging through the vile details of Bill Clinton's affairs, it didn't take long for independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr to be viewed as the villain for making us look. That was his job, of course, but I well remember the night in my kitchen when my husband, who was not a Clinton supporter, commented upon hearing the latest lurid development, "I'm beginning to feel sorry for Clinton." Ultimately, Clinton was impeached by the House but acquitted by the Senate – and probably would have been reelected were third terms allowed.
Impeaching Trump could have a similar effect. When people examine the lineup of the president's congressional prosecutors – Mother Superior Nancy Pelosi, the prim and pursed-lipped Adam Schiff and grumpy scold-meister Jerrold Nadler – it's easy to imagine why some might rather take their chances with a player like Trump.
Remember, life is a continuation of high school, and Congress is just one big gymnasium.
And that means he wins this time:
For reasons as much psychological as political, Trump is going to survive impeachment – and he'll be stronger for it.
The Donald is many things, but he's plainly not smart enough to pull off a proper conspiracy. What kind of self-respecting villain asks a foreign leader for an investigation into his political opponent and then says, okay, just pretend and announce that you're investigating?
The president is smart enough, however, to flip this impeachment against the Democrats as yet another witch hunt by a bunch of scoundrels, liars and thieves. All Trump needs is a fresh slogan and a new cap – and we can be sure they're coming.
And that means there really is nothing good happening now, except for Hershey's Kisses. Trump flew back to Washington but they still make those there in Hershey. Not everything good will end.

It's Alive! This 3-D Printed House Builds More Houses
By Zak Stone 1 minute Read
Who will build the world's first 3-D printed house? The answer gets less certain with each passing month. Just this week, a third team, Dutch architecture firm DUS, announced that it was tossing its hat into the ring, revealing plans to break ground on a design for a 3-D printed house on one of Amsterdam's iconic canals within the next six months.
The firm will be competing to finish its design before two other firms get there first: including Dutchman Janjaap Ruijssenaars's Möbius-strip shaped Landscape House, and London-based Softkill Design's fibrous, naturalistic ProtoHouse.
A Softkill architect had gone on the record saying that the Landscape House shouldn't be thought of as the first 3-D printed house, even if it were successful, since so much of the house's construction relies on poured concrete. But it doesn't seem like the same criticism could be leveled at the DUS house; it plans to print all the home components onsite, using a massive printer called the KamerMaker, which rests inside a shipping container. On their website, they describe the machine as "a real architectural pavilion" that could play host to events. "In other words: The KamerMaker itself is a pavilion, that can reproduce small pavilions!"
"This year we want to print the entire facade and the first room bit by bit," DUS architect Hedwig Heinsman told Dezeen. "Then in the following months and years we will print other rooms."
The house will function as an event space and 3-D printing laboratory to explore new techniques and showcase them to the public.
