Overnight Open Thread (3-12-2012)It's the chart that makes liberals cry. Well I'm guessing a lot of people who voted for Obama now are wishing they could have foregone the entire Obama Recovery Plan - which has failed even by Obama's own standard - and just had a normal recession minus the $787 billion in new debt.
FemiNazis So Outraged at Limbaugh That They Act Like... Nazis Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem, and Robin Morgan want the FCC to take Rush Limbaugh off the air because they're so concerned about freedom of speech or something. This isn't political. While we disagree with Limbaugh's politics, what's at stake is the fallout of a society tolerating toxic, hate-inciting speech. For 20 years, Limbaugh has hidden behind the First Amendment, or else claimed he's really "doing humor" or "entertainment." He is indeed constitutionally entitled to his opinions, but he is not constitutionally entitled to the people's airways. Nope - it's a mystery why Rush would imply that they of all people might be like the Nazis. It's not like Jane's ever supported fascist national socialists before - oh wait... And speaking of Nazis - nothing escaped their grasp and control - even the playing of Jazz: 1 Pieces in foxtrot rhythm (so-called swing) are not to exceed 20% of the repertoires of light orchestras and dance bands; For years the standard media (and liberal BIRM) critique of Ike was that he was 'dumb' and 'lazy'. But in fact he was quite smart and handled many issues quietly and without fanfare, demonstrating that competence and lack of ego can be mistaken for being boring and stupid. He took over a nation at war, a people fearful of atomic holocaust and poisoned milk. He left office to a man who cried for more missiles and for shock troops to fight guerrilla wars by helicopter. . . Eisenhower had the true professional's instinct for making things look easy. He appeared to be performing less work than he actually did. And he wanted it that way. An air of ease inspires confidence. The singer's hard work should be done at home. On stage, the voice should soar as by natural gift. The answer is simple: Eisenhower didn't conform to the post-Wilson, post-FDR liberal model of ideal presidents as "miracle workers," relentlessly "leading" the American people to new and distant places according to some abstract and ambitious "vision." In style and conduct (though not so much in policy), Ike was the anti-Wilson, the anti-FDR. Eisenhower conducted the presidency much more like a 19th century president, that is to say, more like how the Founders intended the office to be conducted. Akrasia (ancient Greek ἀκρασία, "lacking command (over oneself)" ), occasionally transliterated as acrasia, is the state of acting against one's better judgement. The adjective form is 'akratic'. Doing something bad for you even when you know it's bad for you. Well thanks to a 2002 California state voting rights act judges will get to decide if Compton City Councilwoman Janna Zurita is 'Latina-enough' to represent her district. In January, a judge ruled that a trial would be necessary to figure out whether Zurita could be considered Latina and whether that means Latinos have a voice on the council. The city settled the suit late last month. The U.S. Census doesn't provide clear answers, because it considers being Hispanic or Latino separate from race. On government forms, Zurita sometimes marks black, sometimes "other" and couldn't remember if she ever marked Latino. Beyond Spotted Dick: The Story Behind English Cuisine How, for two centuries, has a country with so many resources-creams and butters and handmade cheeses, a practice of grass-feeding sheep and cattle, wild fish, abundant game-produced such a spectacularly loathsome fare? ...The simple good ingredients were there: why weren't people using them? English food didn't always suck. In fact it was considered quite good until the Victorians got hold of it. Garlic fell out of fashion. The wonderful spices that had been a mainstay of English cooking since medieval times fell by the wayside. Instead, Victorian cooks, armed with their copy of "Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management," came up with dreary dishes of brawn (head cheese) and mock turtle soup made with a calf's head, ham and a pound of butter; vegetables were over-boiled and limp. Well it is a slippery slope from possessing a vajayjay to being a full citizen of Slutsville. The Yahoo AoSHQ group. Bla bla bla. And don't forget about the Job Bank. And my twitter thang.
