Overnight Open Thread (9-8-2013)I understand the attraction the buddy system has for a man who, as a state legislator, perfected the art of voting "present" on hard questions. But it's hard to see this as anything other than rank political cowardice. In other words it's just Obama following the classic Obama M.O. that got him into the White House twice. By no means do I profess to speak on behalf of all of our men and women in uniform. But I can justifiably share the sentiments of those inside the Pentagon and elsewhere who write the plans and develop strategies for fighting our wars. After personal exchanges with dozens of active and retired soldiers in recent days, I feel confident that what follows represents the overwhelming opinion of serving professionals who have been intimate witnesses to the unfolding events that will lead the United States into its next war.
DC Going After Tourists For Empty Cartridges Because apparently they've solved all those pesky murders that happen daily. Washington police are operating under orders to arrest tourists and other non-residents traveling with spent bullet or shotgun casings, a crime that carries a $1,000 fine, a year in jail and a criminal record, according to a new book about the city's confusing gun laws. Many complexity cultists are progressives. Notice how progressives often try to score points in a debate (or shut it down) by saying that their opponent's idea is "too simplistic." The truth has got to be complex for such people. Hollywood, Japan, and the First Law of Politics Robert Conquest's First Law of Politics posits that "Everyone is conservative about what he knows best," and Hollywood is no different. Last night, I watched the Blu-Ray of Black Rain, starring Michael Douglas, and directed by Ridley Scott. Released in 1989, in-between Michael Keaton's Gung Ho and Sean Connery's Rising Sun, the film is the second in Hollywood's unofficial late-'80s and early-'90s trilogy of films warning American audiences that Japan was about to supplant America as a world superpower, because of its powerful, all-knowing government, intertwined corporatist business environment, and collectivist thinking. The only reason I even remember Black Rain is because I happened to see it in a theater in Nagoya, Japan and during most of the movie I kept wondering what the Japanese audience around me thought of its portrayal of Japan. New Words Added to the Dictionary in the '90s: Where Are They Now? Some have caught on and some now seem completely dated.
What I'm Feeling Right Now - Is It Wrong? Lowell Observatory: Hey Let's Name an Asteroid For Trayvon Martin Albert Einstein. George Takei. Jerry Garcia. Hey - why the fuck not name it after Specialist Ty M. Carter? Corey Feldman Being Bullied by Anti-Bully Lobby for Claiming He Was Bullied Corey Feldman threw a $250 entry rent party and when some chick from Vice magazine ran unflattering photos of he and the skanks at his ho-down, he went online and compared it to being bullied. Enter the pearl-clutchers over his use of the B-word: "This is horrible! I can't believe that Corey would utilize such a serious issue to gain traction for his 'comeback.' If this is what I think it is, Corey should be ashamed and every national bullying organization should demand he apologize. This could be what I call the 'Miley Cyrus Effect' - doing anything, no matter how pathetic, in order to get attention." - Dr. Chuck Williams, Drexel University Clinical Professor and Director of the Center for the Prevention of School-Aged Violence.
