A flea can leap 13 inches. That’s about 150 times its own length and would be equivalent to you or me jumping the distance of two football fields.

Pirate Party Victory Looms, Arggg
Pirate Party Victory Looms, Arggg — The Pirate Party will control the Althing according to the latest polls.
The Althing is Iceland’s parliament. The election is Oct. 29.
The party, which uses pirate symbols and costumes, has an extreme libertarian platform which includes freedom of speech, skepticism of the European Union, legalization of drugs and Icelandic citizenship for Eric Snowden.
It was founded in 2012 and got a boost when it led the condemnation of the Jan. 7, 2015 Charlie Hebdo shooting. It became the nation’s leading political group after the Panama Papers scandal implicated prime minister Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson forcing his resignation last spring.
Yo ho ho.

Jill Stein Gets It
Jill Stein Gets It — Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein blasted the Democratic Party in a tweet.
“The Dems’ leaked emails reveal their mastery of corporate politics. Manipulate the process, the voters, the media, all to serve the elite,” she said.
She gets it. It’s a shame the race wasn’t between her and Trump. We may vehemently disagree with her solutions but we fully respect that she understands the problem. Our Founders rebelled against feudalism. The corporate cronyism that is being imposed on our lives is different in name only.
It’s no coincidence that Hillary Clinton is out-raising Trump 20 to 1 among one-percenters. These are types who want to supplant individual conscience and be lords of the world.
For my very religious friends who remain NeverTrump, remember the punchline: “Why didn’t you save me, God, when I prayed for deliverance?” “I sent you two boats and a helicopter.”
