Donald Trump actually managed to offend Roger Ailes??
Gotta be pretty bad...again. (And/or there's an angle to it..)
....Off-site link to an 8/25/15 "latest-circus-news" (my phrase) article. New window opens. No affiliation: http://time.com/4010093/donald-trump-fox-news-megyn-kelly-roger-ailes/?
(Background: One view, including reported Roger Ailes quotations-of-interest. Off-site link, new window opens, etc: http://thinkprogress.org/media/2012/02/21/429460/roger-ailes-quotes-the-fox-effect/)
(Commentary:)
Trump parallels? Rudeness, boorishness, vindictiveness, 'loose-cannon-ness', ↓'fanning-flames-of-the-angry-or-scared- ness'↓...etc. etc. :
(YT video link. I don't own/did not originate this fascinating performance...)
.... A. Lincoln, G. Washington, the Roosevelts, etc: Where are your modern-day candidate-counterparts, when so badly needed...? Our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you.
(One answer: Safely away from the ridiculous fray, on the sidelines, laughing/crying/gawking with the rest of us....
Maybe even writing blogs about it.)
BTW: North Korea-style invectiveness (etc.) probably won't 'play' too well in the saner parts of the U.S.A↓.:
(Source link: http://www.someecards.com/news/politics/election-infographic-shows-most-educated-states-voted-for-obama/)
...Exactly why would any reasonable, 2016 candidate wish to commit political suicide with women(/people) capable of reading(/viewing) and comprehension??
(Ref.: Off-site link, new window opens: http://www.theonion.com/article/female-trump-supporters-just-feel-more-comfortable-51166)
...Some of 'their' compatriots may be mobilizing, Donald. I don't see ballots in their hands:

Gawknation: Case #1
(Another occasional blog-series begins here....'Gawk-nation':)
Pertinent off-site article link, new window opens, no affiliation: http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/08/wilmer-flores-crying-photos-sold-out?
↓ (BTW: The same photo is freely available to share (online), for non-commercial use...↓)
(Non-commercial use)
$140 (w/frame:) Currently sold out.
....Could it be the autograph?
Is it because there really is "no crying in baseball"??
via GIPHY
....Do people just love/feel sorry for Wilmer???
...Why would someone want to remember this?...
It's well-known but still might wish to take note:
1) Everything is for $ale...for the right price, wrong price...whatever.
1a) Someone somewhere will pay money, as long as it's: Weird-enough and/or lurid-enough, awkward-enough, mawkish-enough, violent-enough, can't-look-away enough, etc. etc. etc.
...Oh wait: Hollywood knew that eons ago...
(↓DON'T WATCH!↓)
(Or...do..:)

Frank Barone-land
...Not this guy again....(Group. Whatever.):
(YT video link. No affiliation.)
(Commentary:)
...Doesn't it seem like a significant minority of the population -- mostly male? -- just is pining for it all to END?
You know: A bit like Frank Barone, below. (Yeah, somewhat taken out-of-context.)
(Link to source of excerpt. (I've included additional dialogue as it's representative of a lot of the show: People essentially trapped in the same house/relationships, yelling at/berating each other...) Highlighting added:)
(...Oh no. And now we may have much of the same population segment possibly ensnared by Ashley Madison revelations (off-site article link)...)

"...Debra: My needing to get out of here every once in a while has nothing to do with my "lady days."**********************************************************************
Ray: Ba-loney!
(after a very irritable Debra leaves the house, Gianni lets out a big belch)
Gianni: Man, I thought she would never leave!
Andy: Is Debra aware of how she's coming off to others?
Frank: She's in a bad mood, what, three days tops? Soon, it's gonna be five days. Then it's a week. Then what was once a bad mood takes over and becomes her only mood! And then... well then you become like me. Where not a day goes by that I don't wish there was a comet screaming towards Earth to bring me sweet relief!!!
Debra: (about the PMS pills that Ray bought for her) Oh, no, Marie, he's trying to help, see? These are magic pills. (pretends to swallow some, talks sarcastically) Oh, look! Ray's dirty clothes just flew right off the bed and into the hamper. These really work!
Marie: Let me have some. (takes bottle, pretends to swallow some) Oh! Frank's toenails just crawled right into the garbage can!
Debra: (on the tape recorder that Ray used) I told you 8 million times, when you empty the dryer you clean the lint screen! Look at all this lint! Do you like lint, Ray? How about I give you some for your birthday? Happy birthday, Ray, here's your lint!!!
Ray: I just wanted you to hear that, so you know what you sound like. Okay?
Debra: (long pause, starts crying) You are a gigantic ass! Ray: (talking into recorder) 10:32, "gigantic ass."
Ray: If they find me chopped up in the freezer, don't believe the suicide note.
Ray: Guys, could you quiet it down a little bit? Debra's not feeling too well hormonal-femininally.
Frank: Ah, got it. "The enemy within!"..."

Stressing bears: Bears got friends
(Commentary:)

Habituate this: We'll go ahead and side with the bears here.... As some other non-humans seem to have done:

Here's an excerpt (linked), as something of an example:
"...The study has left Ditmer with a lot of questions...
"We don't know if bears or other species can habituate to having drones flying over them," he says. "Right now, it's just getting started — but I guarantee you in five to 10 years it will just be commonplace to be using them for many aspects of research and conservation.""
