Overnight Open Thread (1-21-2014)Truth: The Latest Weapon of the Patriarchy Because the true facts about Wendy Davis' life are just another front in the War on Women and she's not going to take any more mansplaining attacks from her opponent, Greg Abbot, or anyone else. We're not surprised by Greg Abbott's [her Texas governorship opponent] campaign attacks on the personal story of my life as a single mother who worked hard to get ahead. But they won't work, because my story is the story of millions of Texas women who know the strength it takes when you're young, alone and a mother. I've always been open about my life not because my story is unique, but because it isn't. Here is a picture of Greg Abbot. He hasn't walked a day in her shoes - or at all since a tree fell on him 30 years ago, paralyzing him and requiring almost a year in rehab. Clearly he knows nothing of suffering. But Wendy "Storyteller" Davis is doubling down: And Stephen Green has a diabolical suggestion for Abbot:
Obama's finest speeches do not excite. They do not inform. They don't even really inspire. They elevate. They enmesh you in a grander moment, as if history has stopped flowing passively by, and, just for an instant, contracted around you, made you aware of its presence, and your role in it. He is not the Word made flesh, but the triumph of word over flesh, over color, over despair. The other great leaders I've heard guide us towards a better politics, but Obama is, at his best, able to call us back to our highest selves, to the place where America exists as a glittering ideal, and where we, its honored inhabitants, seem capable of achieving it, and thus of sharing in its meaning and transcendence. In any normal workplace this paragraph alone would have been sufficient cause for a drug test and maybe some counseling. The Unbearable Lightness of Hillary Clinton's Achievements When you ask her diehard supporters what she did as secretary of state they start with, "She travelled a million miles! More than any secretary of state." Because talky bitchez and Gary Hart. After all, with just one exception, a Clinton has always tried for public office whenever a tantalizing opportunity presented itself. The rule-breaker was Bill's aborted run for president in the 1988 cycle. On the eve of his expected candidacy announcement in July 1987, with the national press gathering in Little Rock, his long-suffering chief of staff, Betsey Wright, she later told PBS, huddled with her boss and presented a list of women he was alleged to have been "seeing." After a number of responses along the lines of "she'll never talk," Clinton belatedly awakened to the reality that he could self-destruct in the post-Gary Hart world-Hart had been forced out of the Democrats' presidency sweepstakes just a couple of months earlier following allegations of adultery. The next day, Clinton declined to run, stunning the news media with the unconvincing excuse that he had decided to spend more time with his family. "It Makes Economic Sense for a Woman to Have More Than One Husband" Writes Judith Warner in Time magazine. And judging by her sex dreams I think she's already got a candidate in mind for her second husband. Well good luck with that. Gang Signs of the Intellectuals The gestures you need to throw to convince people that you're a real thought leader. And possibly a member of the Chestertons or Van Buren Boyz. To perform "The Critical Whirl," simply circle your hand counterclockwise in a small but rapid motion towards the audience. "Accelerate and repeat until idea unpacked," the website tells us. It's one of the more basic maneuvers, suitable for both formal academic settings and conversations about the means of production over a glass of wine. And no I don't think this article is intentional satire either. In the event of an ambush, their role was to drive into the kill zone during the first few minutes of the attack, and saturate the attackers with their firepower.
