Top blogging of August

As is the norm, these were the most read pieces of last month, even if not all of them came from last month. I'll identify the date and general provenance of the resurgent evergreen ones.

No. 10? "Abandon hope and abandon the Desert Southwest," because drought is likely to continue the rest of this century and beyond, I noted at the start of August.

No. 9? "Time for a 32-team MLB? I say yes" goes back to 2013, but I posted it last month in some r/MLB comments about expansion at Reddit.

No. 8? A Texas Progressives roundup from June is surely trending again because it mentions THC.

No. 7? From July, I f-bombed the National Park subreddit because Democratic tribalists banned me.

No. 6? In March, I noted The Resistance 2.0 still wants to relitigate Russiagate 1.0. They still do, even though The Donald knocked the props out from that just days ago.

No. 5? An April Texas Progressives roundup about special elections and wingnut stings.

No. 4? In July, I said Trump was right about California's high speed rail.

No. 3? I said of the Supreme Court in May, "Three Dems, no environmentalists."

No. 2? I April, I wondered, punningly, "Oh Canada — can the Liberals win again?" They could, but the Canadian people didn't really win.

No. 1? From late July, my HUGELY snarky take on the pious Christian evangelical poem, "Footprints in the Sand."
