« Yet Again: Radio Host Calls Rice "Aunt Jemima" | Main | Petition Calling for Exoneration of Marine »
November 19, 2004

If "Diverse Opinions" Are Important for Bush's Cabinet, Why Not for the MSM & Academy?

We all know the reason, I think.

It's the same reason why "diversity" doesn't seem so important as regards, say, an NBA basketball team. Diversity there is just a code for "need more minorities," and thus really doesn't apply to an NBA team (although they could use more Samoans, I suppose). And that's fine and all, but let's not resort to euphemism.

"Diversity of thought" always means "need more liberals." When lefty media critics whine about the absence of "alternative points of view" in the media, they're not talking about Fox and Rush Limbaugh, now are they? The "alternative voices" they mean are NPR and Pacifica radio types-- lefties. Never those on the right. Always more liberals are needed.

David Gergen, the current whiner about Bush's lack of liberals in his cabinet, never seemed bothered by Clinton's cabinet. I guess that's because he had a good sampling of both types of necessary political thought-- liberalism and left-liberalism.

I think Gergen thinks he was the conservative in Clinton's White House... NOT!

Gergen has decided his fate lies in the far Left lands. Methinks he's adrift on the ever-changing sea of relativity.

Look, we represent a diversity of perspectives in academe: an African-American studies perspective, a feminist perspective, a postmodernist perspective, a post-colonial perspective, a Marxist perspective...why can't the White House do the same?

Wasn't it Bill Clinton that fired his surgeon general when she suggested including information about masturbation in sex education classes?

Clinton had the brains to put a fiscal conservative, Robert Rubin, in at Treasury. He also scattered Dem Centrists and liberals in his cabinet and had hawk on defense, moderate Rep on other issues Sen. Bill Cohen at Defense.

Bush followed that model somewhat with Powell and Christie Whitman. He would be well-advised to put in some Red State Democrats and moderate Republicans in his 2nd Administration rather than going entirely with Right-Wing Rep "yes-men/women" and Neocons. While getting rid of Norm Mineta, of course.

Some good names would be Charlie Stenholm of Texas, Bill Nelson of Nebraska, Ben Nighthorse Campbell, and anyone Robert Rubin recommends at Treasury to curb what John McCain calls Republican's tendency to "spend money like drunken sailors".

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.
And I guess you think you've got it made
Oh, but then, you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind
Oh, but it's alright with me now
'Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
You know we "joke" about the GOPe just "conserving" leftist things?

In more marketing for Project Hail Mary, scientists say they've found the biosigns indicating life growing on an alien planet. It's not proof, just signatures of chemicals that are produced by biological metabolism, and it could be nothing, but scientists think it's a strong sign that this planet is inhabited by something.
In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of scientists announced the detection of dimethyl sulfide (along with a similar detection of dimethyl disulfide) in the atmosphere of an exoplanet called K2-18b. This is actually the second detection of dimethyl sulfide made on this planet, following a tentative detection in 2023.
Tons of chemicals are detected in the atmospheres of celestial objects every day. But dimethyl sulfide is different, because on Earth, it's only produced by living organisms.
"It is a shock to the system," Nikku Madhusudhan, first author on the paper, told the New York Times. "We spent an enormous amount of time just trying to get rid of the signal."

He means they tried to prove the signal was caused by things other than dimethyl sulfide but they could not.

Great marketing arranged by Amazon to promote Project Hail Mary. Okay not really but it does work out that way.
