It's ok, he's just blazing up a straw man for the Fourth.

#1287 To the general public, those posts were deleted. When you load the url you get a 404 error. Apparently those with edit privileges are the only ones able to see what was once there. The use of "unpublished" was ill advised and in this context just sounds nefarious and muddies the water. It doesn't matter if that is what the button is named in your back end software. The posts were deleted from view or removed from the site. If they were unpublished that would mean they written but never added to the website.

Recently I saw a similar level of precision at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation where they were using excavators to dig up old barrels of radioactive waste. They’d remove the dirt covering the barrels a tiny layer at a time to prevent any damage. The operator said in all the time they’d been cleaning up the waste they’d never dinged or damaged a barrel, but I suppose the incentive to be careful is extremely high.

I live in the Yakima Valley and this spring the number of hop fields around here have doubled. If current trends keep up all we'll grow in the valley will be hops and grapes.

Wow
