College is necessary for such things as the hard sciences, business and all things practical.
Sociology is not only worthless but destructive.

I also think that some of the pre-med education that students have to go through may not be all that valuable to a medical degree.
Some people I think have an aptitude for medicine and yet may be quite hopelessly lost in something like chemistry classes.
Just a thought.

Greetings from Eastern MA, where it is currently 29 F. At least teh snowstorms haven't shown up...yet.
I have a request: pleasepleaseplease, for G*d's sake, can this be a Day Without Gruber? I'm sure some new revelation of his eeeeeevil machinations will soon appear, just as I'm sure Ace will be getting his Grube on regularly during the week, but I still feel the need to point out that this guy's place in the overall scheme of things is tiny, tiny, tiny. It's his boss, the ever-popular Choom Boy, who is calling the shots.
President Historic First© doesn't get any less dangerous when we are distracted by the Squirrels and Shiny Stuff he sets out as diversions. Nor is his buddyroo, Holder, who apparently won't call for the death penalty in the trial of four cop-killing thugs (see: Breitbart story).
When the so-called opposition is sweating the small stuff, the Bad Guys can skoosh 'em like bugs.

The progressives are trying to hang on to their social status since they have proven to be incompetent idiots. Since progressivism is overpopulated with advanced degrees, "granting" the lower status to the baccalaureate is mighty nice of them.

So the potential field of fascist candidates seems to be Hilary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Luis Gutierrez and Bernie Sanders.
If SCOAMF could barely fake being "centrist" (whatever that means), I don't see any of the above being able to fake it at all without puking on their shoes when they speak of "American Exceptionalism," and that includes Hilary.
Despite the past 6 years of pain and suffering, the GOP does not have the ability to connect the dots between what Americans have experienced with the party and ideology that caused it. That's because they have been part of the problem since the Bush administration. Americans think something's wrong with the country or "the system" or even Obama as a leader rather than liberalism.
If we manage to defeat the GOP-e in the primaries and get a Ted Cruz, Mike Pence or Scott Walker as a candidate, I don't think any of the freak show Demokrats have a chance.

Just as a reminder, I seem to recall a number of leading leftist luminaries over the past few years whose credentials it turns out were, shall we say, faked.
Can't remember the specifics, probably because the MFM as usual swept it under the rug.
Anyone have a better memory than me about this?

*****
My last employer was notoriously credentialist: Old time, good old boys club trying to look like a 21st century firm. Very, very old industry. Doesn't care much for women, blacks, and old people either but has learned (through payouts) that they can't wear those facts so on-their-sleeves as in the prior century.
They had employees that would remain for decades through 70 and 80-hour weeks, skipping vacations, and working sick from their hospital beds and then, the moment the economy would slump, they'd hire a bunch of kids straight out of college and dump some of the old folks. Of course, the moment the economy turned around the newbies would haul ass because, HEY!, they have Ivy-league degrees and they aren't about to work a 70-hour week. Then the company would suck up to the old folks and diehards again.
They don't want to BE a better company but they desperately want to look like one on paper. They think killing off those with all the knowledge, but lacking a degree, will do that for them.

Stupid question.
Now that the National Cathedral has allowed Muslim services inside the cathedral itself, under fundamentalist Islamic teaching, does the national Cathedral become the property of Islam?
Not asking for our Western position, but Fundamantalist position.
I vaguely remember this being one of the tenants of Islamic territorial expansion.

AFAIK, Muzzie dudes "own" the Cathedral now. Once a mosque, always a mosque, and they'll probably be pushing to get a muezzin up on the top floor to howl out their call to prayer. You know, the one Choom Boy thinks is so friggin' beautiful.
I would consider the move to host Islam foolish, but I think the intent was far more evil. Our religious "leaders" know how Muzzies work, but they choose to ignore the truth in the name of "fellowship."
They will be back in the Cathedral on the next Muzzie holiday, and will soon thereafter be squeezing out the Christians.

Some people I think have an aptitude for medicine and yet may be quite hopelessly lost in something like chemistry classes.
Perhaps... I'm not sure I'd rely on a doctor unable to comprehend basic chemistry. While I regard the art of being a doctor to be more than just academic skill, there are subjects that highlight/develop a doctor's ability to analyze and assess.
A failure to master certain subjects, IMO, puts a potential doctor's abilities in the doubtful column... we already have too many doubtful people running about as it is.

Maybe the age of the GP is not dead after all. Speaking of which, I did a double take on the subway the other day when I saw ads for doctors who make actual house calls.
Cool! Than again, my insurance dies as of New Year's Eve so it's only make believe.

He can think up all the weird shit he wants, but his stupidity does not have the force of law behind it. He needs someone in power to actually give the orders that set his lunatic ravings in motion.
To use an inappropriate analogy, he's just a Kleagle who needs the Imperial Wizard to order his flock to don their sheets and start burnin' crosses.

AoS early morning attire is usually what I was wearing to bed, which was nothing...but I did go out and grab the Sunday paper so I guess it's appropriate.
I bet shorts and a tee shirt in this weather would still scare small children and women though.
I do not have a 4 year degree, I'm a damn fossil, and I'm capped out on the pay scale because I know what the hell I'm doing thanks to years of experience on the job in the IT field. 4 year degree's signify you were able to put up with the teachers BS and get by with enough book learning to get out of school, it does not mean you know a damn thing in the real world.

A degree is nothing more than an indication you [should] have some literacy and skill in fundamental subjects, but a BA???? Not a very useful degree in my opinion.
And FWIW, I know plenty of people with a BSME or a BSEE that couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel. But they can damn sure take a test and do math.

Early footage of YrPzdnt, yesterday or is it tomorrow, because he's "answering" questions in Australia you know. He never knew G'dooba either. Just heard about the whole thing. Read it in the paper (conceded: Oz has some great papers).
This man was not a member of our team. Just a staffer. And the slack-lipped smirk with which it was delivered? An incitement to riot if ever I saw one. "Yes, I'm lying in the world's face, and there's nothing you can do about it. Don't call my bluff."
He should be ashamed to carry the Party banner. JFK and LBJ or even Clinton (Wm) could lie better than that. There's no verisimilitude at all. Just reading his lines.

Each of us starts out with on follower. Then two.
I have seen time and time again that it is those who really put themselves out there that grow the largest followings.
For others, there are phases.
1. OMG someone followed me! I'm going to follow them back!
2. Repeat step 1 a couple a of hundred times out of a need for symmetry and politeness.
3. Start being more selective about whom you follow but worry like hell that if you don't follow them they'll drop you, ad they might.
4. Start getting some retweets on Twitchy and from the big hitters. New followers come and go.
5. Stop giving a rat's ass about symmetry and in-kind follows and follow who you like.
6. Stop caring if your opinion might run off some of those followers and let it fly!
All in all, it seems to be long-term growth of something like 2 to 3 followers for every one follower lost.

You know, there was a time before Medicare, Medicaid and the crazy malpractice regulations and a litigious culture etc., when people paid their bills out of pocket because they were relatively inexpensive.
Insurance was only to cover catastrophic illness. Hence the concept of an "insurance policy" in case of disaster to insure your money. Not to pay every time you get a tummy ache.

This right here is the thing that has long puzzled me most about "liberals:" They can advocate the grossest levels of violence against people who don't agree with them, but if the tables happened to be turned, they curl up in little balls and whimper. They can't stand bloodshed and mayhem...unless they commit it.
I have said some nasty things about Choom Boy during the last six years -- as I did about every President from JFK through Dubya (well, no, not Reagan) -- but I have never, ever advocated causing any of them physical injury. I haven't even felt (or expressed) hatred for them. I would, however, be more than thrilled to see President Historic First© severely mistreated, as in "sent off to pay a decades-long visit to Sheriff Joe." I have always believed that committing major crimes should lead directly to severe punishment.
But hate and physical harm? Those are the tools of liberals.

I'll go contrarian and defend the bachelors degree.
Whatever the subject, completing the bachelors degree shows the ability to set a goal and the discipline to achieve it over time and the harder the subject matter, the more informative a proxy the degree is.
Does the degree have a monopoly on that? Of course not. Can it be shown in other ways? Certainly. Success in the military being one example.
But an employer with one job and 500 resumes has to sort the pile somehow.

If they plan to release the GJ decision tomorrow, no reason not to release it today.
People keep demanding that they have a warning to the kids can get home safely. How long does it take to get home? It's not like riots happen immediately and eveyr where. It takes a bit of time for the creeps to wind up.

I really enjoyed Twitter yesterday when the SWJs tried to go after InstaPundit.
They failed.
They scrambled and backtracked.
They quoted Spiderman.
>>Now, most days, I don't even glance at my number of followers and just tweet when and what I want and follow and unfollow who I want.
I'm always surprised when someone follows me. "I hope you're not expecting anything." I don't say much there, being the quiet type. Delicate flower 'n all, ya know.

The same Rule of Law, they are destroying."

'Hundreds of people lined up again in frigid weather early Saturday outside St. Paul AME church on Shurling Drive to apply for heating assistance.
There was lines, said Lonnie Miley, board president of the Macon-Bibb Economic Opportunity Council. But we encourage people not to come out and stand in the cold.'
This was supposed to be for elderly and disabled people but the FSA showed up in force. It's amazing the amount of effort they will exert to get free stuff. And they will screw the folks who really need assistance to get their piece.
This is why I hesitate to contribute to local foodand toy drives. Better to find some family or church and offer more direct assistance.
And note our barely literate local councilman.

It is no longer a rare thing to go see the doctor, it has become part of the routine, like getting haircuts and oil changes. I personally haven't seen my doctor in years. I only go when I'm going to die otherwise.

I'm not surprised about that. I do know that some of their luminaries who write and opine about economics have philosophy of basket weaving or PR degrees. Others have fathers who are Ivy League profs and from whom they gained their expertise from genetics and the occasional breakfast conversation at age 9 before the divorce rather than study which makes them experts on everything. It is creditialism via sperm donor.

Regarding the Natil Cathedral: this is why Cordova Cathedral in Spain refuses to allow muslims to pray there. Once you give them an inch, they will take over. However, I wdn't be surprised if this pope tells them its okay. Not sure how much authority the pope has over property in another country.

Indeed! In his speech, he initially correctly identified the Nat'l Cathedral as run by the Episcopal Church (my alma mater), but later on twice errs in calling them Presbyterian.
To be fair, he's probably So. Baptist, so those other denominations probably all look to him like branches of the Catholic Church.

Want to know how I know the author of that statement has no clue about 1)projects and 2) today's BA programs at the mid level schools?
#98, was part of "charitable programs" twice (I know, I know).
Most recent was a bike program - had the FSA show up and demand accessories for the free bikes, then more arrived demanding bikes.
Post holiday, a DC sanitation guy posted a pic of them tossing a huge (100+) pile of busted bikes, most of which were (shocking, I know) our giveaway.
First was a backpack for schoolkids @ DC Armory. I'm not a small person and am fairly confident in my own abilities - and I was worried in the maelstrom that day...

All this talk about BA's (vs BS) degrees has forced me to chime in. My degree (first), is a BA (major Geology / minor Philosophy) -- my core in Geology (through following a BA) took me down a path toward business as opposed to field work. That said, I did take additinoal classes (more BS in nature) in areas that fascinated me (Structural, Sed/Strat, Geomorphology, etcetera)...in short, I liked the flexibility and also knew I was heading toward the business side. As for the Philosophy minor again...I just liked the subject(s) and enjoyed arguing my points against the convention. I followed my BA with an MBA in...Finance. For me it was all about having a rounded education and granted, I was in college from 79-85...it was (I believe) quite different from today.
Oh yeah...last thoughts...my corporate career was spent almost entirely in sales and I worked in 'big oil' for 2 years -- bulk of years were spent in publishing then hardware/software. And now?...I work on houses (8 years) after tiring of the corporate grind...renovations chiefly.

Saw "Interstellar" yesterday.
Excellent movie. Great plot, acting, direction, script. And the relativistic time stuff seemed to work or at least was consistent.
Some people on this here blog were complaining that the sound was too loud and muddled but I saw it at an Atmos-installed theater-
and the sound while loud was crystal-clear. Dialogue too.
Probably the problem is that they mix the sound for state of the art sound systems and less than state of the art sound system don't have enough separate speakers. This is a guess.
If so, they need to make a simpler "crap mix" for LTSOTA theaters.
Anyway great visuals, great sound - well worth seeking out an IMAX or XD theater for this one.

If so, they need to make a simpler "crap mix" for LTSOTA theaters.
Anyway great visuals, great sound - well worth seeking out an IMAX or XD theater for this one.

"the Great Barrier Reef"
You know, that damn thing was supposed to dissolve due to global cooling/acid rain/overfishing/oil spills/CFCs/global warming/climate change back in the 70s. I know, I read about it and couldn't wait to see it before it was gone...
Trouble is, of course, is that it's still there.

grind...renovations chiefly.

Gruber is just the tip of the iceberg I'm afraid. There are many thousands of his type scattered around the country. We have one in our town. Activist type family practitioner. Dartmouth trained. Big rah-rah Obama supporter. Mouthpiece/shill for Obamacare, self-proclaimed expert. Rather than taking care of patients he spends his time basically community organizing (State Medical Society, opinion pieces in the local rag, etc). He actually ends up contradicting himself much of the time, ironically or not.
Haven't heard much from him the last year or so.

Hey good news. Obama just heard about the Gruber comments. But he wants to assure us that Gruber never worked on his "staff".
And the Plumbers didn't work on Nixon's, either.
But Gruber was doing far more of Obama's will than Liddy was of Nixon's.

Yes it should be on your to see list - wonderful things to see along the whole length of the thing
Years ago, my son and I went on a reef trip from Townsville and we went snorkelling
It was amazing boing out there in the middle of nowhere, on a little platform with the coral just below and all those fish- no sharks seen that day * prayers answered*

>>So Obama says that Gruber never worked for the administration, yet they paid him $400k.
>>How the fuck do we get our money back?
I sent ace some links the other day. Gruber made closer to $800K not $400K from the feds from agencies like DOJ, State and NIH in addition to HHS.
But he didn't do anything really.

Someone help me out here with this shirtstorm thing.
Who exactly are these leftwing nuts mad at? Sure, they're mad at the guy for wearing the shirt, but why does that shirt exist? In fact, why are women objectified in our society at all?
Pretty sure that didn't happen because of rightwing Catholics such as myself. It wasn't people of my ilk who encouraged the sexual revolution and continue trying to destroy our social mores and values today. Now, that doesn't mean I'm offended by the shirt, because I like to live and let live, but let's just say it didn't become an acceptable piece of attire because of my efforts.
So I just want to know. What does feminism want? Should women be thoroughly respected and adored (in which case, I think Catholicism is as feminist as it gets), or should they be free to desecrate their bodies in any way they please?
Someone please try to figure out what SlutWalks wants. To boot, since it seems like they want stricter treatment of rapists, try to figure out how it differs from anything your average rightwinger wants.
I'm sure this question will never be answered.

As for the sound quality, I went to an IMAX showing and the sound was fine. The volume was not at "Scanners" levels.

For the beings who made the wormhole it would be as easy to stroll into the past or into the future as you walking down to the 7-11 for a six pack of PBR.

It's hard not to like McConnaughey. Anybody who gets himself arrested for nude bongo playing is an honorary moron.

But yeah, SPOILER ALERT
So there's no tension when you think about it. It was already done. He's just going through the motions again.

What's the big deal? I've lost lots of hands playing poker.

Question for you guys. In reviewing yesterday and last nights posts and comments, I found several posts with the same nic as me.....
I did not post them. But they were posted with the nic, Jen.
Is this simply a feature of the comment section? I realize you can change your nic anytime to a sock, etc. I might change mine.....

Could just be bad luck, Jen. A noob might not know your nick was being used. Maybe add something to yours? If it's being done on purpose to pretend to be you we can try to call that person out. Not supposed to sock regulars.
Maybe add your "hash" code to Jen?

Interesting, Jen. I always like your comments. I didn't see anything that I thought was out of character.
But to answer your question, you can type anything into the name field. It's considered bad form to sock other commenters, but maybe there was another Jen who was unaware of your presence.

More SPOILERy STUFF:
Well, not exactly.
That's really the point of the Mann incident, I think.
That there is free will and despair. Mann gave into despair and chose to destroy the mission on the chance of saving his skin.
McConnaughey's character had his moment of despair but chose to fight to complete the mission and save his children and the people of Earth.
He fought to figure out how he could communicate, what he had the ability to do in such an extreme circumstance not knowing if it would or could work.
Really, I hope this movie ignites that kind of fire in the imagination and courage of the youth of today.
Instead of the endless sour navel gazing in the dirt represented by #shirtstorm and other such leftard, nihilistic nonsense.

Thanks Y-not, I don't twitter, but I will add onto my nic. The comments were fine, no swearing, etc, LOL. And I agree, I think it was simply someone who didn't realize there was another exact nic. Nothing nefarious, I just hadn't thought about it before and was puzzled.

A huge inflatable toad slowly deflates due to air leakage after days of being on display at a square in downtown Guangzhou, South China's Guangdong province on Nov 14. The toad, weighing 2.3 tons, is a character in the popular Japanese anime Naruto. Since being put up by a game company at 2 am on Monday, it has drawn many anime fans.

It seems the finger he shot off when he was cleaning
his gun and had surgically reattached fell off while he was playing
poker the other night. And he tweeted all the details.

He should have poked 'er with a different finger.

Mornin' Horde.
Glen A. Larson has died at age 77. His works for TV include Qunicy M.E., Battlestar Galactica (original flavor), Magnup P.I., Knight Rider...heck, he has a small phalanx of creations. (Trivia: Larson based many parts of the original Battlestar Galactica off Mormon lore, which he was familiar with as a member of the LDS church.)

I'm more than baffled as to why anyone would care about ancient rape allegations against an old man living out the golden years of his life.
It's not as though the elderly comedian being accused still holds office and is running the most powerful nation on earth. Then you might think the media should be interested.
Let bygones be bygones, sez I.
I stand with Cosby!
