Overnight Open Thread (2-8-2015)
Hardly anything on TV at the Brian Williams level is accidental. That riveting account of death-defying derring-do with Letterman would have been worked out during the pre-interview for the show - in other words, the misremembering was painstakingly rehearsed. Maybe Williams is delusional. Maybe he is to anchors as Anthony Wiener is to wankers - a guy so cocksure he figures he can push it a little further each time.
-- Mark Steyn
I noticed this in my law practice. When I first started out, you hit the litigation jackpot if you could show that the opposing party had lied about any semi-material fact. If you showed this in the pre-trial stages, opposing counsel usually would settle the case for peanuts. If you showed it during trial, the judge or the jury would slam the lying party.As time went on, I noticed that judges and juries were less impressed by a showing that a party lied. To take but one example, in my last trial, a case I handled for a friend last year, the judge (who was generally excellent and who decided the merits in our favor) was dismissive of evidence that demonstrated dishonesty by the opposing party.
The turning point, I think, was the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky matter.
How Bad is It For Brian Williams? Even Gawker is now mocking him:
Layers and layers and layers of fact-checking - unlike those filthy bloggers in their underwear at noon.
Note that Doohan's right hand is hidden here as it is in all Star Trek shots. Long-time readers know why.
British SAS Sets Up Special Rescue Force to Rescue Any Shot-Down Jordanian Pilots
Defence sources confirmed last night that the UK has stepped up efforts to prevent another coalition pilot being taken by the enemy should their aircraft be shot down.The Joint Personnel Recovery (JPR) units will be 12-man teams. The troops are poised to board armour-protected Chinook helicopters and will be accompanied on rescue missions by jets providing 'top cover'.
A Special Forces source said: 'We may have very little time to respond but we can go in with a lot of firepower and, depending on where he lands, we can hopefully get a downed pilot back before he is snatched by IS. This could be on the ground in Syria or in parts of Iraq occupied by the insurgents.
Oh and fuck-you-very-much Turkey:
'But for as long as Turkey refuses to allow its air bases to be used to used for operational missions, there is only so much that can be done. The major centres of IS, such as Kobani and Raqqa, are a long way from bases in Gulf states, including Jordan.'
SAS Trains Snipers to Avoid Jihadi Kidnap in UK After MoD Blows Their Cover
Oops.
Defence chiefs published online and in official reports the names and photographs of sharpshooters - a move the snipers say could endanger their lives.
...On the courses at SAS headquarters in Hereford, the snipers are being advised how to escape and evade capture if jihadis strike at their homes or when they are going about their everyday lives.
They are also warned not to carry military identification, remove their names from the electoral roll and to report suspicious activity to police.
The courses include briefings on cyber-security, with the snipers being shown how to thwart attempts to hack into their mobile phones, email and Facebook pages.
The extraordinary measures had to be brought in after the Ministry of Defence breached rules that state that members of Britain's Special Forces and snipers should never be identified.
Possibly also one of the worst wives in the world.
The Worst Mother speaks out here.
Now there is an argument that can be made that in a third-world country like Armenia a downs-syndrome baby might be better off in an institution but note that that's not the argument the mother is making. And her actions belie her true motives.
Worst Almost Mother Ever: Feminist Aborts Her Male Baby Because Patriarchy
I stand by my decision to abort my baby because it was a male.I don't hate men, I hate the patriarchy, what men, and even some women, turn into, I wasn't going to let that happen with my offspring. The chances were greater that it would with a male, it was unacceptable.
If the curse returns, I would do the exact same thing all over again.
Well she's a liar. Clearly she hates men, enough so that she would kill her own child for no other reason than it was a male one. And note that even friends and family members have cut her off over this decision.
Tiger Mom of the Decade: 'Dogs Are So Much Nicer Than Daughters'

Rosie O'Donnell Breaks Up With The View, Also Her Wife
Look Rosie is a nasty person, a general pain to work with, not very funny, and there's a huge mismatch between her intellect and her big mouth. Her appeal has been a mystery to me for 15+ years.
Okay but really what's the worst that could happen here - you might get remotely orgasmed?

Leave Brian Williams alone!
It's not like he
said you could keep your health insurance plan, keep your doctor and
that an average family of four could save $2,500 a year.
Now
that's a real whopper. A lie that was debated in the White House by
aids and senior staffers. A lie that directly affected millions of
people and about 16% of the economy.
What Williams did was nothing. If Barack can keep his job, why shouldn't Brian.

Yeah. The story about the Armenian baby with DS is really killing me. I know it seems unfathomable that someone would just leave their kid, but it was a pretty common practice here, too, not that long ago. George Will has written about how the doctors sincerely asked him and his wife if they planned on taking their son home, too, when he was born with DS.
I don't know what this situation will look like after another few million kids with DS are killed through abortion.

Just so. Exhibit B: When was the last time you heard of a "three week old puppy" being someone's pet? Normally puppies are not separated until 8 weeks or later. Are we to suppose that the mother and the rest of the litter got out fine, and this one little puppy hung around in the closet to pad Williams' Superman resume?

But part of the attraction of the awards show is seeing all the famous people together, which only happens a few ties a year.
ABC must love the Academy Awards so much. It's a 3-4 hr TV show with the top 100 most famous movie stars -- and you don't have to them a dime! Genius!
Academy Awards gets better ratings than every other non-NFL show on TV. It's usually the 5th or 6th most watched show of the year with 40M+ viewers.
What a business model.

Emmys do much worse than Grammys or Oscars in TV ratings. Probably cause we see TV stars on TV so much, it's not that neat. Grammys has all the live music -- 6 of the top 10 awards shows are music shows, so that is a clear draw.
Movie stars are still movie stars, top of the fame charts.

Movie stars aren't giving daily press conferences after every game. So I guess part of the thrill is seeing how they act unscripted. Having an emotional moment and being on live TV.
Every major sports star is used to having a camera shoved in his face the moment after he won the big game.
And, of course, they don't give a crap about winning an ESPY.

ESPN probably should have backed off the brand promotion and given it a name without ESPN in it. American Sports Awards. Global Sports Awards. Sporting Universe Awards. Something less retarded than ... the ESPYs.

While many, if not most, of the wifeless men will just be beta males, there are enough excess males to create a problem for the ChiComs.
The easy way of fixing this is invading a neighbor and bringing back war brides.

I think that Islamicsocieties invented 'jihad' todeal with their problem of excess males.
If you look at a map of wherepolygamy is legal...it is also the same countries which are Islamic.
The older dudes scarf up the young virgins, and add them to their stables.
That leaves a lot of single young men left over.
So promise them a whole harem of virgins, if they will just gostrap on a bomb and off themselves for the cause.

If I ever decide to start building tractors, I'll take your advice into consideration. Otherwise, I'll thank you to fuck right off, and if you think you can do better at building sports cars, go right ahead and try, Mr. Lamborghini."
True story!

Lotto cars.
Okay, I'll go a bit eclectic here. Remember the early '80s Mercedes 123 body? 300-D, in the sedan, coupe and wagon variants. Five cylinder diesel, turbo diesel in the later years.
Well, I'd get a mint wagon, and a donor coupe. IT would take a talent like Foose to do what I want, but it would end up as an altered wagon, wearing the Coupe's larger doors, and with the body and window sides aft of the doors made as to echo a Chevy Nova kind of setup. The rear sedan doors would be surplus, of course.
I'd have the builder do a "every last bolt and wire" remanufacture, with a zero-time engine, transmission and every other rotating and reciprocating part. And, keep the outer panel of the climate control system, but ditch all the vacuum lines, and convert that system, the cruise and the door locks to all electric.
Then, have the interior mods all done to "factory new" standards. I'd want the car built to such a standard of perfection, that Stuttgart might well put a new warranty on it.
Second car would be a 67 Pontiac Catalina, but with the full "resto-mod" treatment. Modern everything under the skin, multi-link suspension, 4 wheel discs, honkin' big 3 row aluminum radiator, etc etc. Some styling mods, but not a typical "slammed" or big-wheeled modern custom. 17" Cragar SS classic wheels would be just fine. But, stuff like the headlights? Modern projectors, all LED tail lights n' turn signals, other subtle touches. Have 'em all styled in to blend with the OEM, and not look like a Pep Boys catalog puked all over the car.
General Purpose car? Go to the market, and find the lowest mileage, cleanest possible 2007 Crown Victoria. Tweak it under the skin with good handling and some power mods, but nothing extreme. 'Vics are sleepers. And can flat out inhale vast stretches of highway, a 400 mile tank of gas at a time.
Truck? Just an F-150 FX-2 SuperCab, 5.0, no jacked up craziness. Just another truck.
Motorcycles though. I'd need a whole barn, just for those, but that's a whole 'nuther list.
Oh, and a Rockwell 112 light single, with the panel ridiculously updated to a full Garmin glass cockpit suite, all ADs completed, and every good STCd speed mod installed.
Finally. A canoe. Every Moron Millionaire needs a good canoe for proper Arsenal Management.

Well, for anyone left awake I'll share what I did today. Had to give a report, am employed by a historical society. Looked back at the newspaper to see what was going on 150 yrs ago, sometimes add items like that.

Mention it this way: Illinois became the first state to ratify the 13th
amendment, the day after Congress approved it. Illinois considered it so important that the vote was the following (GOP votes mentioned here, Dem votes mentioned there.)
If someone objects, note here GOP majority votes for the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1964.

They don't need direct light.
...You can put them wherever they'll get just a little indirect light.
They don't need a lot of water.
...Some people kill them by over-watering them. You just give them a soaking in the sink, couple of times a month, and that's enough.
The bloom spikes last for months.
...When picking one out, choose one that has one or more bloom spikes that are not yet fully bloomed out.

I've been saying that it wouldn't be the Chopper story that would bring down Williams. It would be everyone looking into everything else he's said and discovering those other lies he has been telling. The one story was survivable no matter how much of a pathetic stolen valor asshole he is. Its the revelation of him being a serial liar.

Democrats, led by Lyndon Johnson himself, blocked every attempt at Civil Rights legislation throughout the 50s, when Eisenhower supported it and pushed for it. But the moment Johnson became President, he turned around and supported Civil Rights, because he could now take credit for it.
Democrats still generally stood against Civil Rights, and they held a huge Senate majority, but Everett Dirkson, the Republican Senate Minority Leader, made a passionate speech to his caucus urging them to put aside partisan politics and support the Civil Rights Act just because it was the right thing to do.
Dirkson's speech is considered one of the greatest speeches in American political history, and without it, the Civil Rights Act would've failed. But who gets the credit for that law? Lyndon Johnson, who led the charge against similar bills whenever Republicans had pushed for them in the past.

I remember teaching an analytical chemistry lab once. The students were given a mixture of two chemicals and they were supposed to determine what percentage of each compound was.
They figured this out by doing to separate titrations: The first time with a chemical that reacted with both. The second time with the same chemical, but with another chemical added to the mixture to prevent reaction with one of the chemicals in the mixture. In other words. they reacted both, and then just one.
Obviously, when you have the same amount of mixture, you will need more titration to react both, then just one.
Well, two students asked me why their computer program was saying that they had over 100% of one of the chemicals in the mixture.
A quick glance at the date showed me they screwed up the titration: The reaction with both chemicals in the mixture required 4mL of titration; the reaction with just one required 5mL.
I pointed this out and they didn't get it.
I made them do the calculations on the dry erase board. They wiped out their calculators and they didn't understand why I told them to put it down. I even had to explain to them how to round to do the calculation by hand.
Even then, they didn't get it and wanted to know how to make the computer program spit out the "correct" number.
