Overnight Open Thread (8-27-2013)Then came the sound of a musical instrument, from behind it seemed, very sweet and very short, as if it were one plucking of a string or one note of a bell, and after it a full, clear voice-and it sounded so high and strange that he thought it was very far away, further than a star. On Rejecting the Witch's World “All you've been saying is quite right, I shouldn't wonder. I'm a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won't deny any of what you said. But there's one more thing to be said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all of those things—trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That’s why I’m going to stand by the play-world. I’m on Aslan’s side, even if there isn’t any Aslan to lead it. I’m going to live as like a Narnian as I can, even if there isn’t any Narnia” (The Silver Chair, Chapter 12).
And also Obama's least-loved success: The US Federal Government is on track to actually spend less money than a previous year: In 2010, the government spent $3.457 trillion, while this year it is on track to spend $3.455 trillion. And as best I can tell no one starved or died in the streets because of this. Scandinavia: Killing Jews is Totally Different From Killing Us That's the only possible way to interpret the anger being expressed in the region this week in response to remarks made by Israel's Ambassador to Sweden Isaac Buchman. The ambassador is under fire for asking listeners on Swedish Radio to think about how they would feel if Anders Breivik, the perpetrator of the Utoya Island massacre, were released. Buchman complained that Israel wasn't getting credit for it's freeing of 26 Palestinian terrorist murderers in order to entice the Palestinian Authority back to the negotiating table. But rather than sympathize with the families of Israelis victimized by Palestinian murderers, people in Norway and Sweden are angry about any comparison between their sorrow and that of Jews killed by Arabs. Indeed, as one Swedish paper put it, the families of the Utoya incident are "seething" about the ambassador's analogy. "There is no future left for Jewish communities in Europe." "The fact is that while intellectually one can distinguish anti-Israeli fervor from anti-Semitism, in reality, on the streets of Malmö and Paris, and elsewhere in Europe, they are one and the same." Professors Union: It's Crazy To Even Consider Measuring Whether Colleges Help Students The effect of our highly compensated mind-work simply cannot be measured by peasantry like yourselves. In response to President Obama's push to tie federal college aid to labor-market outcomes, the American Association of University Professors has issued a stern warning against the seemingly uncontentious idea of evaluating colleges before giving them money. "In reality measuring the output of our colleges and universities in a meaningful way is simply not possible," writes President Rudy Fichtenbaum. Oppressed by the Spelling Patriarchy And when your parents name you Icess Fernandez Rojas they're basically signing you up for the platinum program of perpetual grievance: All I really wanted was a venti, white chocolate mocha without the whip cream. How the Government Profits from Student Debt Defaults Because there simply is no getting out of a student loan...ever. ..."Student-loan debt collectors have power that would make a mobster envious" is how Sen. Elizabeth Warren put it. Collectors can garnish everything from wages to tax returns to Social Security payments to, yes, disability checks. Debtors can also be barred from the military, lose professional licenses and suffer other consequences no private lender could possibly throw at a borrower. 5 Beloved Celebrities Everyone Forgets Did Terrible Things And let's not forget that Mark Wahlberg blinded a Vietnamese guy for kicks as a teenager. Too Sexy For Class, Just Right For Football Games Several Pinellas County schools are restricting or banning their own cheerleading uniforms during classroom hours amid a broader crackdown on the student dress code. In past years, administrators turned a blind eye during football season to the cheerleaders' sleeveless uniforms with short skirts. The AoSHQ group. Yeah. Teh Tweet!
