Overnight Open Thread (6-2-2015)There are no "new" Hillarys. There are, on occasion, new strategies to dupe people into thinking there is a new Hillary. But these Potemkin do-overs are usually as pale, thin, and see-through as the skin of an agoraphobic Goth computer programmer. The simple fact is: This is her. There is no other her. There is no other Bill, either, by the way. They are Clintons and they are eternal, Aesopian, unchanging. The tackiness and the lying, the parsing and corner-cutting, the entitlement and fakery: This is what they do. Scandals swirl around the Clintons like the cloud of dirt surrounding Pigpen not because the Clintons are the victims of their enemies, but because the Clintons are their own worst enemies. They do this to themselves. They create these problems. They are the authors of their own torment because this is who they are. This is not to say that Hastert is not an utterly repulsive creature and, if the allegations are true, someone who deserves every torment with which he can be afflicted. But this is the equivalent of nailing Al Capone because he forgot to put his W2 in with his tax return. It's all very clever getting somebody on technicalities, but it turns a land of law into a land of legalisms. It's entirely appropriate for public outrage to hound Hastert into obscurity, but to charge him with a pseudo-crime simply for the satisfaction of the attendant public humiliation is a use of state power I would be reluctant to encourage. Hillary's Accomplishments During the 8 years of the Clinton Administration. A few highlights: Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guanier was her selection. When a little probing led to the discovered of Ms. Guanier's radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration. Tumblr actually is not a bad platform but it seems to have become a home mostly for photo and feminist blogs. The thing about Tumblr feminists - as with all feminists, really - is their bedrock conviction that men know nothing. All men are bad and wrong and stupid, the feminist believes, and the only things men ever do is (a) enjoy male privilege and (b) oppress women. Fighting Sexual Assault Across Space, Time, and....Fairy Tales "Is it ok that the prince kisses Sleeping Beauty without her permission?" Can you spot the rape in this image? Also the three instances of heteronormative privilege?
So The Iraqis Are Just Cowards Who Won't Fight? According to Nate Hale (who I think know whereof he speaks) it was more than this that led to the fall of Ramadi. ISIS was also quite sophisticated and clever in their attacks and the Iraqis had no air support at all. Analysts interviewed by the WSJ also gave ISIS grudging credit for masking its troop deployments to Ramidi. In April, the terror group put out a call for fighters to move from Syria to Iraq, in preparation for the Ramidi campaign. But instead of transiting in the familiar Toyota pick-up trucks long associated with the group, many of insurgents rode in ordinary sedans, traveling in groups of two or three. That shift in tactics made it more difficult to identify--and target-- ISIS movements. The deployments were also aided by the group's recent seizure of several checkpoints along the border between Iraq and Syria. The Ferguson Effect: A 20-Year Decline in Violent Crime Reversed in Six Months Safety Tip: If A Criminal Orders You Into a Car, Do NOT Get In Because once you do, your odds of being killed go way up. Also never get off the boat. Rise of the Nurse Practitioners Russia has turned Internet trolling into a profession with full time workers getting paid $700 to $1,000 a month (plus bonuses for especially effective efforts) and working in office settings rather than from home. These professional troops mainly write in Russian, to encourage pro-government opinions among Russian Internet users. The government also has an international program that pays a lot more because of the need for good foreign language skills. That means the ability to "write like a native" not only in terms of grammar but in terms of the Internet idioms unique to each language or country. The key here is not so come off as a Russian troll but a local. We must close this troll gap. John Erik Wagner is a perpetual candidate now running for prime minister of Denmark and this is his campaign poster. Only on the real thing you get to see the Full Monty.
