Overnight Open Thread (2-4-2014)The Great 2013 Commenter Stats Tally Last night some of the commenters were asking about how many commenters there are around here which reminded me that I had completely forgotten to calculate and post the 2013 overall commenter standings AKA the Hall of Shame. So here they are. But first some overall blog stats from the year 2013: Number of blog posts: 4815 Top 20 commenters: Top 20 sockpuppeteers: You know they do have therapy for this now. And it's even covered under the ObamaCare Gold plan - assuming you could afford it. Just remember that you aren't using all of your valuable pla$ma all of the time. Update: Commenter Laurie David's Cervix puts it all in perspective. 123 Which means that over the past year sven has commented the equivalent of Crime and Punishment AND Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Obama: 'Not Even a Smidgen of Corruption' in IRS Targeting of Conservatives Well there you have it. There's nothing to see here - it's just the government doing its job. Move along now citizen unless you'd like a random audit. I recall reading in the Manchester books that Churchill had the final drafts of his speeches written out in a sort of blank verse form, and had not only the pauses written in but sometimes instructed himself to stutter slightly for emotional emphasis. A master of wit, word, and the delivery of both, he had a general rule about speech-writing and speech in general:Short words are best and the old words when short are best of all.You will note that most of Churchill's speeches - and virtually all of his most memorable quotes - feature short, "old" (Anglo-Saxon root) words. They also tend to have the cadence of the best poetry. Were There Peaceniks and Blame-America-Firsters During WWII? Apparently so and enough of them that Walter Winchell devoted a column on Feb 3, 1944 to calling them out. Russia has never quite been part of the West (even when the elite wanted to be) nor part of the East either. Russia is just Russia. It's been that way since Peter the Great and likely will be the same in the the year 2214. Before I first visited Russia, I took it for granted that Russians were grateful for the collapse of Communism. In fact, for most Russians this simply isn't the case. The vast majority of Russians living today are Soviet-born and Soviet-educated, and among them nostalgia for the Soviet Union and burning resentment at the loss of superpower status are powerful. Even young Russians, who may care nothing for Marxism-Leninism, envy their parents for having lived in a superpower that made the world tremble. The cult of the Great Patriotic War is recalcitrant. It's the greatest single obstacle to Russian democracy. In the eyes of many Russians, Stalin's cruelty was vindicated, or at least rendered irrelevant, by his leadership in the war, which gave collectivism and authoritarianism a saving veneer of heroism and nobility in the Russian psyche. "No matter how bad Stalin may have been," a student in Chelyabinsk told me, "we don't forget that it was under his leadership that we defeated the enemy, saving Europe's a** in the process, and probably America's, too." Russians take macabre, gruesome pride in their 20 million casualties in that war but are largely unaware that many of those deaths resulted from Stalin's stubbornness, incompetence, and merciless disregard for the lives of his own people, soldiers and civilians alike. And for a classic look at Soviet Russia read PJ O'Rourke's account of traveling with American Leftys on a cruise in the Soviet Union, "Ship of Fools": Also a Russian high school graduation: Also Has the Russian Dyatlov Pass Incident Finally been Solved? "Fifty-five years ago, nine young Russians died under suspicious circumstances during a winter hiking trip in the Ural mountains. Despite an exhaustive investigation and the recovery of the group's journals and photographs, the deaths remained unexplained, blamed on 'an unknown compelling force.' Now American film and television producer Donnie Eichar believes he has solved the mystery of the Dyatlov Pass Incident. Working in conjunction with scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Boulder, CO, Eichar developed a theory that the hikers died because they..." Colion Noir and Dana Loesch on Gun Control, Open Carry, and MLK Colion Noir is an NRA news commentator and possibly Joe Biden and the left's worst nightmare: a 'clean and articulate' lawyer who loves guns. And you should check out his video on the types of people who love .45ACP. Reviewing the Samsung UN85S9 85-Inch 4K Ultra HD 3D Smart LED TV Well sure it's $39,997.99 but after you read the reviews, you'll understand why this >By James O. Thach TOP 500 REVIEWER on November 25, 2013 Apparently back in the 60s it wasn't uncommon for pop stars to redo their hits in another language to appeal to international markets. Here is "Wo Ist Unsere Liebe?" by the Supremes.
