Overnight Open Thread (5-22-2014)Howard Dean: "Republicans Aren't American!" And should go back to Russia where they belong - yes he really said that. I guess 'Don't question our patriotism!!' is so 2000s these days. John Hinderaker points out that this kind of insanity is bad for America: This is a very bad thing. We need two functional political parties, and these days the Democrats don't get over the bar, no matter how low you set it. Their rants are so crazy that it is hard to tell what they are talking about. Dean says that Republicans want to "take away the right to vote." Huh? Can you name a single Republican who has ever argued that anyone who has a right to vote should have it taken away? I have never heard such an argument made. Republicans do say that ONLY those who have a right to vote should be casting ballots, and that no one should vote more than once. Apparently Dean disagrees with these propositions, but of course he doesn't tell us why. It is always easier to lie. The latest audience numbers are devastating: Averaged over prime time (8-11 p.m.), the three major cable news networks had a combined audience Monday of 2.7 million viewers, and here are the percentage shares: 11% of 2.7 million is fewer than 300,000 people watching CNN during peak viewing hours. At this point they'd be better off (and truer to the best interests of their shareholders) by just running cat videos, trendy youtube videos, and infomercials 24/7. It's Safer Than Ever To Be a Policeman - So Why Are The Cops Militarizing Up? Law enforcement deaths this year dropped to their lowest level since 1959, while the decade of the 2000s was among the safest for officers, despite the deadliest single day for police on Sept. 11, 2001. Well mostly because it looks cool and they can but also because they have to be prepared for the crazed veteran threat - at least according to Sgt. Downing of the Morgan County, Indiana Sheriff's Department: "When I first started we really didn't have the violence that we see today," adding, "The weaponry is totally different now that it was in the beginning of my career, plus, you have a lot of people who are coming out of the military that have the ability and knowledge to build IEDs and to defeat law enforcement techniques."
The results of an investigation of a December Miami 'gunfight' are in and it's pretty damning. The local CBS affiliate has investigated a police shooting that happened there last December. The results are jaw-dropping. A man who committed armed robbery and shot a police officer hours earlier was spotted in his automobile, along with a passenger who played no role in his crime. Police officers gave chase. More here: The police made several questionable claims soon after the shooting, including claiming that the suspects fired at them during the car chase (there was no gun anywhere, and no casings in the suspects' car). PBA President John Rivera said, "We got to see today how mean the streets of Miami are and how mean they are getting and how dangerous this work is." 31 Killed, 90+ Wounded as Lutherans Massacre Civilians in China Here is a photo of the suspected militants. What happened when a bunch of Libertarians moved to Keene, NH in an attempt to remake the town into a model of libertarian freedom. Well it doesn't seem much more free but it is a lot more contentious. The mundane matter of parking has become so contentious that a third parking officer, an ex-soldier who served in Iraq, quit last year because, he says, he could no longer take the close-up videotaping and the taunts that "I had condoned the droning of brown babies." So contentious that the mayor, the city manager, and the city attorney all declined even to say hello to me. How Much Would It Cost To Hire Your Favorite Band For Your Birthday? Not that much. Los Lobos and George Clinton and Bone Thugs and Harmony and Toots and the Maytals charge in the 20-35k range for appearances; that's not so much considering what you get. Fountains of Wayne (remember them?) goes for 20-30k. An Author's Minimalist Home of the Future Or how Robert Heinlein was living along with his wife in a 1150 sq. ft home in Colorado Springs, CO in 1952. Only in Sweden: Elk Born Inside Volvo After Highway Crash White Stripes and Dead Armadillos Quick without thinking about it too much - What color are the dividing lines on highways? Okay did you say yellow or white? Now read on: For years I [Alper] have been obsessed by the color of the line which divides oncoming (i.e., opposing) traffic because I was firmly convinced that the color of the center line changed during my lifetime. Yet, I never could find anyone who had the same remembrance (or interest in the topic). The other day I found this this explanation that vindicates my recollection (and I was continuously out of the U.S. from 1969 to 1973):Armed with this knowledge, I have haphazardly been asking (annoying) American friends and relations as to what color they think the center line is now, let alone what it used to be. Young people get it right I guess because that is part of driver ed which they have recently completed; older people who drive a lot still claim the center line is white and always has been. If I offered evidence that jellyfish are displacing penguins in Antarctica -- not someday, but now, today -- what would you think? If I suggested that jellyfish could crash the world's fisheries, outcompete the tuna and swordfish, and starve the whales to extinction, would you believe me? Yahoo group. That is all.
