Overnight Open Thread (11-24-2013)Meet the New Official Portrait of the Danish Royal Family Holy WTF - They paid good krone for this? When the Queen of Denmark opted to commission the first royal family portrait in almost 125 years, she turned to Thomas Kluge, a largely self-taught Danish portrait painter whose inspirations are said to include Rembrandt and Caravaggio. After four years of work, Kluge's finished painting is finally here: an inexplicably creepy portrait that reimagines the royal family as a clan of sadists, transvestites, and malevolent pigmen whose abominable ruttings have brought into the world a brood of Damien-like progeny. Or perhaps he accurately captured the creepy-and-kooky-and-all-together-ooky scandi nature of the Glücksburg family. All I know is that But the prince will not easily be killed: he has splintered his soul between seven horcruxes, each of which has been hidden as a sort of Easter egg within Kluge's masterpiece. Can you find them all? But all future bloodshed aside I am looking forward to the dramatic TV and movie series based on the painting.
Why the Democrats Used the Nuclear Option One reason the filibuster persisted for so long is that it actually made the Senate as a whole more powerful. So why would the Democrats get rid of it now? What's peculiar about the timing of the Democrats' decision is that it comes just when the partisan risk of abolishing the filibuster has been heightened.The abject failure of ObamaCare has made the prospect of a Republican Senate in 2015 and a Republican president in 2017 much likelier. Thus even from a purely partisan standpoint, rational Democrats would have been more cautious about invoking the nuclear option when they did than at just about any other time in the past five years. But then over half of the Democratic members were only elected after 2008 and the 'Elizabeth Warren' senators are more radical and have no memory of ever being in the minority. Harry Reid's Nuclear Option Was a Good Thing The move shows how foolish Republicans like John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Orrin hosta were to worry that if they broke the filibuster, Democrats would then do it too. Democrats did it anyway. The only way to deter bloody-minded Democratic behavior is to treat Democrats as they treat Republicans. Democrats sicced special prosecutors on GOP Presidents for years, but they gave up the independent-counsel statute only after Ken Starr investigated Bill Clinton. As Patterico points out ObamaCare can now be repealed by 51 votes in the Senate. As long as the GOP has the 51 votes - and the will to cast them. So let's get more 'Ted Cruz' Senators and fewer Gang of Whatever. "Nuclear Option" Is About Packing Courts With Judges Who'll Uphold ObamaCare Regs." "The media shielded the president from every criticism - until he betrayed a liberal cause," Millennials in the Workplace Training Video The faults of the Millennials are hardly unique to their generation but as a group they do seem to have gotten through 20+ years of parental and school training without having had them corrected. As Adam Carolla complains they seem to confuse effort with actual results and expect to be rewarded for the former. China Declares 'Air Defense Zone' over Japanese Senkaku Islands And issued the following rules: First, aircraft flying in the East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone must abide by these rules. Both Japan and the US have already announced that they will ignore it. What could possibly go wrong? None Dare Call It Redistribution Rebecca M. Blank was a top candidate in 2011 to lead President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, but then the White House turned up something politically dangerous. Because redistribution implies theft from someone else. And eventually that someone will be you. The War on Women Is...Mostly a Same-Sex Battle They stared at her, looked her up and down, rolled their eyes and sometimes showed outright anger. One asked her in disgust, "What the [expletive] is that?" Important Safety Tip: Avoid Yemeni Weddings Oops. "A man dancing to "Gangnam Style" at a wedding party in Yemen reportedly killed three people when he tried to fire his AK-47 in celebration and accidentally sprayed the group with bullets." Hey man what gives him the right to interrupt a private robbing? A family member who did not want to be identified said White should have never been shot to begin with. And yeah I'm pretty sure this was already covered on the blog but it's worth covering again.
