Overnight Open Thread (1-28-2016)Kanye West - 侃爷 (kan yé): a transliteration of Kanye. In Beijing dialect, this means someone who brags a lot with no actions to follow it up. What If The Refugees Are Not Just Ignorant Savages? Here's what I think is going on: The refugees are acting as they are, not because they see themselves as charity cases, but because they see themselves as conquerors. They know perfectly well that one doesn't defecate in a pool in which people (especially children) are swimming. They're doing it because they are performing the literal equivalent of the expression "I don't give a shit about you." They know you're not supposed to rape women . . . that is, unless those women are the products of conquest, in which case raping them is one of Mohamed's commandments. ![]() Also Related: Welcome to the West!

Now, obviously, as a pro-death conservative, I'm all for this radical departure from basic societal norms. "No work, no food" sounds like a relatively just system. I don't know that I'd take it quite so far as O'Malley - animals are jerks, for the most part - but hey, sometimes you have to suggest an extreme idea in order to get a more moderate one enacted. That being said, I'm kind of surprised that a nominal liberal like O'Malley wants to emulate the animal kingdom. 'Anne of Green Gables' Gets the Politically Correct Remake Treatment Anne's issues are contemporary issues: feminism, prejudice, bullying and a desire to belong. The stakes are high and her emotional journey is tumultuous. I'm thrilled to delve deeply into this resonant story, push the boundaries and give it new life. The CBC confirmed the new approach the series would take; it will "explore new territory" as its characters experience "original adventures." And then there's the fact that Martin Sheen is cast as Matthew Cuthbert. No. Just, no. If there was ever one thing that could drive Mrs. Maetenloch into cutting a bitch, it's mucking around with Anne of Green Gables. [And speaking of Mrs. M this weekend I was asking her how come she was still using an old crappy charger when we had several new ones - and without skipping a beat she immediately rolled into a Milton-I-just-want-my-Swingline routine. Which is reason #119 I married her. What's extra impressive is that English is not her native language and she's only seen office Space once and that was years ago.] [And a bit of Swingline trivia: Did You Know That Red Swingline Staplers Didn't Actually Exist Until After Office Space Came Out?] In which L. Gordon Crovitz argues that the Oxford students wanting Cecil Rhodes' statue torn down and his name scrubbed from the university are ignorant of the man and the context of the times: The Cape Colony under Rhodes was liberal for its day. Africans could vote if they met the same property-holding or income requirements as whites. Rhodes might have bent too far to placate the Boers, the Dutch settlers whose support he needed to rule the colony. But at the end of his political career, Rhodes opposed a Boer plan to submit Africans to a literacy test before they could vote. Only after Rhodes left office did the Boers establish apartheid as official policy. Guesses for the Over/Under Until Africa Begins Sending Christian Missionaries to England? Nevertheless, the discrepancy between the main Anglican churches in Western countries and those in Africa (now the demographic center of the Anglican Communion) is instructive. The Church of England has 44 dioceses with 26 million official members, 1.2 million "realistic" ones. The Episcopal Church in the U.S. has 111 dioceses with 2.4 million official members, 800,000 "realistic" ones. Nigeria and Uganda are the largest churches in Africa, the website does not differentiate between the two categories of members; be this as it may, in Nigeria there are over 100 dioceses with over 17 million members, in Uganda 32 dioceses with over 9 million members. It's clear who has the numbers. Needless to say, the financial resources of the Western churches are much superior to the African ones. But the new African elites who celebrated the end of the Victorian Raj had been successfully indoctrinated with Victorian morals-and those turned out to be very functional to poor people trying to get out of poverty (if you will, the Max Weber effect), even if the elite (like elites everywhere) only paid lip service to moral principles while enjoying the hedonism supported by the privileges of power. But Anglican bishops are not part of the elites in Africa: When they uphold good Protestant values, in the best Evangelical tradition, this is no mere lip service-they really mean it! And so the Archbishop of Uganda may by 2019 excommunicate the Archbishop of Canterbury! Last fall PJ Media's Patrick Poole reported that US citizen and No Fly List = Islamophobia poster boy, Saadiq Long, was arrested in Turkey during a raid on an ISIS cell. Glenn Greenwald was outraged by this and wrote a multi-thousand word screed calling Poole a liar, rebutting claims that Poole never made in his story, and asserting that Long had in fact never been arrested in Turkey. But then last week the US DOJ dropped a turd bomb of truth all over Glenn's claims. Made-Up Nonsense or 'Best Quote' From Davos?
