The Wall Street Journal

Almost two-thirds of Americans back attacking militants; the President probably needs more time to think about it.

Second story on front page: Apple. First impressions of the iPhone. Can Apple solve riddle of mobile payments? Heard on the Street: new iPhones are more important to Apple's bottom line, but a lot of credibility is riding on its smartwatch.

Religious groups continue with lawsuit on contraception rules in ObamaCare -- the first clear sign the administration's latest compromise won't end end the legal battle over this issue.

Senators criticize militarization of local police departments. City of Ferguson weighs changes in wake of fatal police shooting. Oh, this should be good. Disarm the police.

Another poll suggests Democrats might lose the Senate. My hunch: won't happen.

Russia urges Kiev to talk with rebels.

The retail store Target to focus on two or three sectors.

Wow, NFL blackouts may be a thing of the past (TV blackouts if low ticket sales).

Trump Entertainment Resorts files for bankruptcy.

McDonald's sales woes continue -- August sales fell almost 4%, month-over-month.

But, Krispy Kreme profit rises 22% on sales growth.

Hmmmm...Verizon and Sprint quick to offer iPhone 6 deals. Sprint: $50/month - unlimited.

This should be fun to watch: university activists want schools to divest portfolios of fossil fuel companies. Oh, why not?

Americans don't want US government bonds. For the fourth-straight session, Treasury bonds pulled back this week, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note climbing to the highes level in more than a month: about 2.4%. Oh, goodie.

Op-ed: Obama's return to Iraq reveals how wrong he has been about the world. Dick Cheney is still right.

Op-ed: Obama's student loan blowout -- a new study shows how grad schools will soak taxpayers for years.

The Los Angeles Times

President Obama talks Islamic State strategy with House, Senate leaders; he needs more time to think about this, it appears.

Iowa ex-city manager opens fire at meeting, killed with own gun. I don't know the laws about guns in Iowa, but I quit looking when I found this: the state of Iowa grants gun permits to the blind.

DNA ties Ashkenazi Jews to group of just 330 people from the Middle Ages.

“Ashkenaz” in Hebrew refers to Germany, and Ashkenazi Jews are those who originated in Eastern Europe. (Sephardic Jews, by contrast, are from the areas around the Mediterranean Sea, including Portugal, Spain, the Middle East and Northern Africa.) About 80% of modern Jews have Ashkenazi ancestry, according to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Albert Einstein was an Ashkenazi Jew, as were Gertrude Stein and Carl Sagan. Steven Spielberg and Scarlett Johansson are also Ashkenazi Jews, along with three current members of the U.S. Supreme Court (Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan).

They Said It, Not Me

400 PPM

Notrickszone is reporting:

Dear Mr General Secretary: If you really wish to cut back on CO2 emissions, then you should NOT jet around the globe in your UN jet to supposedly see climate change with your own eyes.

Perhaps you have heard that the Pacific Atolls are living corals that are growing along with sea level rise.

The glaciers already melted before, 1000 years ago during the Medieval Warm Period when it was as warm as today. Currently the Sahel desert regions are not expanding as you claim, rather they are becoming greener. Moreover the rainforests of Brazil are threatened foremost by deforestation thanks to palm oil and biofuels. That is something to be really worried about, and not about climate change.

As opposed to the UN General Secretary, many world leaders have obviously realized that the science is overheated. An increasing number of scientists are distancing themselves explicitly from the catastrophe mindset. After 16 years of no global warming, the basis for trust between policymaking and the IPCC scientists is sustainably disturbed. We believed you and you’ve disappointed us, the scathed politicians bemoan behind closed doors.

So it is little surprise that hardly anyone has the desire to attend the Climate Summit Circus. Already in May, 2014, German Chancellor Angela Merkel respectfully declined - she had other more important appointments. What could they possibly be about? Even today there is still no entry in Merkel’s Online appointment book for the 23rd of September. Perhaps an appointment with the hairdresser that can no longer be put off? Crochet evening with good friends? Let’s keep it a surprise for now.

Meanwhile, forecast for up to 6 inches of snow in the Black Hills over the next day or so.

Inside Llewyn Davis

The movie opens, "The Gaslight Cafe, 1961."

From wiki, Bob Dylan:

In May 1960, Dylan dropped out of college at the end of his first year. In January 1961, he traveled to New York City, hoping to perform there and visit his musical idol Woody Guthrie who was seriously ill with Huntington's disease in Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital. 

From February 1961, Dylan played at various clubs around Greenwich Village. He befriended and picked up material from many folk singers in the Village scene, including Dave Van Ronk, Fred Neil, Odetta, the New Lost City Ramblers, and Irish musicians The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem.
