Overnight Open Thread (4-15-2015)
Howard Husock: A Tale of Two First Ladies
Hillary famously dissed Tammy Wynette back during Bill's 1992 campaign for president:
In 1992, as charges first emerged about her husband's alleged extra-marital affairs, both Clintons appeared together on CBS's 60 Minutes. Their goal? To defend Bill and to assert Hillary's independence. She told interviewer Steve Kroft, "I'm not sitting here some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette. I'm sitting here because I love him and I respect him."
But of course Hillary ended up doing exactly what she mocked Tammy for doing. And showed her ignorance of Wynette's actual life since Tammy was in fact prepared to walk away from her men when she had to.
It's certainly true that the late country singer Tammy Wynette was best known for her mega-hit "Stand by Your Man." But Hillary's statement was wrong on two counts. In her own life, the thrice-married, twice-divorced Wynette actually did not stand by her men. Hillary, by any measure, has. In fact, Wynette might be considered a paragon of feminist courage and independence, while Hillary, to win the White House, will have to prove that she has what it takes to accomplish great things on her own.
And Wynette is really far more of a real feminist hero than Hillary is since she managed to succeed on her own in a very tough business in the 60s while a single mother with three kids and no money or contacts.
From a start picking cotton on her grandfather's farm in Itawamba County, Mississippi, Virgina Wynette Pugh rose to become the acknowledged First Lady of country music even before she ended up marrying its king, George Jones. Married as a teenager, she overcame a divorce from her often-unemployed, construction-worker husband to raise three children on her own. To do so, she earned a beautician's license and worked as a hairdresser, all while singing at night in clubs. Even after becoming a star she kept the license up to date, lest her luck run out.
Success came for Wynette only after she quit her job and, without securing a place to live for herself and her children, moved to Nashville to pursue what country star Alan Jackson once described as "that neon rainbow" of music stardom. Her big break came in an audition with legendary Nashville producer Billy Sherrill. Sherrill understood Wynette's capacity to transmit a breathtaking depth of emotion.
Stand by Your Man is an awesome song and despite supposedly being written in a mere 15 minutes by Sherrill and Wynette I think it reflects Wynette's real emotions and struggles already by age 26. But it was not necessarily her philosophy of life and love either. Wynette truly did it her own way and Hillary, especially given her own choices in the years since, owes her a bit of an apology after all this time.

And Ed Driscoll is prepared to meet him rolling hunger strike for rolling hunger strike.
As I wrote in response, I was so moved by their efforts, "I'm going on my own personal thrice-daily rolling hunger strike. That's right: rather than just one random hunger strike once a year, I'll eschew all solid foods from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM. And from 1:00 PM until 5:00 PM. And then just to really stick it to the war-mongering imperialists, I'll fast from 6:00 PM until 8:00 AM the following day."
And I'm prepared to do the same every day once again, no matter what happens to the would-be attorney general. Fight the power, err, in this case, for the power, man!

Le Shock: Former IRS Ethics Officer Disbarred For Ethics Violations
How the Delivery of the S-300 Air Defense System May Guarantee Iran the Bomb
The S-300 is not invincible, but suppressing that type of system requires significant investments in resources and time. The U.S., for example, would employ salvos of cruise missiles to eliminate deployed SAM batteries and eliminate support infrastructure. Cyber attacks would be employed against the early warning and command-and-control networks that support the S-300, in an effort to reduce situational awareness and force individual batteries into autonomous or semi-autonomous operations. As the S-300 network becomes increasingly fragmented, stealth platforms like the F-22 would lead missions aimed at eliminating most of the remaining launchers and radars, providing support and cover for E/F-18 Growlers (providing jamming support) and F-16CJs in the Wild Weasel role.At a minimum, this effort would take dozens of cruise missile strikes and scores of sorties over a period of several days. And that's a luxury that Israel doesn't have. Even with forward basing in places like Azerbaijan, or access through Saudi airspace, the Israeli Air Force would be looking at complex, long-range missions and they would be asset-limited by their small tanker fleet. Most estimates of an IAF first strike against Iranian nuclear targets put the number of tactical aircraft at somewhere between 24-36, roughly the maximum number that could be refueled by six or seven Israeli tankers.
...This much is certain: Israel's "window" for eliminating the S-300 threat (and bombing Iranian nuclear sites) is growing quite narrow. Russia and Iran won't rest until the air defense system is operational, and Tehran always has the option of ratcheting up covert development efforts, in facilities unknown to both the U.S. and Israel. The Iranians know the IAF has only a limited ability to sustain a long-distance air campaign against targets in their country, and arrival of the S-300 will force the Israelis to rethink their options. Meanwhile, the world power capable of sustaining an air campaign against Iran (the United States) is firmly wedded to a "diplomatic solution" that effectively gives Tehran the bomb.

Why Major League Baseball's New Time Rules Are Awesome
I can appreciate the measured pace of baseball but when games start routinely approaching the length of The Godfather parts I, II, and III back to back well they're pushing it. If I can fly to Vegas and back during a game, it's too damn long.
It's a leisurely game. You're given nine innings to win and if you're tied at the end of that, you get free baseball until someone wins.
However, there's a big difference between a leisurely two-hour game and those regularly slogging in at three-and-a-half hours for only nine innings of play. So Major League Baseball put in new clocks - the baseball equivalent of shot clocks, essentially - to quicken the pace by shortening the breaks between innings and pitching changes. The League also instituted regulations requiring hitters to keep a foot in the batter's box, with notable exceptions (e.g. foul balls, wild pitches, time outs). The shot clocks are 2 minutes, 25 seconds for locally televised games and 2 minutes, 45 seconds for nationally televised games. Pitchers have to throw their last warm-ups before 30 seconds remain.
The traditionalists are up in arms but Mollie Hemingway points out that this is really getting the game back to where it was in the golden age:
I reminded him that baseball games were completed in about 2 hours during "The Natural" era. I'd happily go back to that length and enjoy every moment that took place between pitches.
2014 Nürburgring Nordschleife: Just The Good Parts
I like the crashes where they're driving their mother's hostaback in a straight line, and then somehow manage to spin out. All the ones with real race cars are good too, but there's a certain charm to watching a Fiat Panda go careening into a wall. To be honest, the smaller the car, the more entertaining I find its demise. Along with that, I love when they're not going very fast. It takes skill to completely oversteer and spin out when you're going 10 MPH.

That voice and talent won't save him from himself though.
Back when Zumbo famously kamikaze'd his career, Tamera Keel said of him; "He stuck his keyboard into his mouth and pulled the trigger".
Zumbo had the sense to issue many a heartfelt MeaCulpa, and delved deeply into the land of the Black Rifle, so as to re-educate himself to the industry changes of which he'd remained proudly ignorant until his kerfuffle.
What McGraw's doing though, will allow no room for a Zumbo rehabilitation. None.
I predict a huge drop off in sales of anything McGraw. I'll wager that he won't be filling any arena shows.

So the theory of these gun control nuts is that gun control laws would have prevented that Sandy Hook freak from killing kids. You had this guy who was so f**ked up that he planned to take guns and ammo into a school and murder as many 6 year olds as he could, then blow his own brains out.
Their solution: Nutjob goes to gun shop, tries to buy some kind of semi-automatic gun and clips or magazines that hold lots of bullets. Because of magic gun control, he can't buy the type of gun or clips he'd planned on. So he says to himself, "Oh well, I guess I won't go on a murderous rampage of 6 year olds after all." That's how Tim McGraw, Jugears, et al think this would play out?

I start Tuesday, doing data entry for a copy service that contracts with insurance companies.
Ironically, I just yesterday interviewed for yet another job that, while also an awkward commute, is much closer and would pay significantly more. So I admit that if that second job offer comes through, I'm gonna be in an awkward position. ;-)
But hey, it's nice to at least have SOMETHING. And it finally proves that I *can* get hired, which I was worried about. (I was to the point that I was wondering if one of my previous bosses or references was badmouthing me.)

The man she describes in that song is a quality guy. A real man. He works hard to provide for her, without complaint, because that's what men do.
She's telling you that it's hard to be a young, attractive woman in the prime of her life, tied down to a strong-and-silent hard-workin' man whose accomplishments and worth may not seem obvious at first glance. But you need to make the effort.
Don't ditch that good, salt-of-the-earth man for the next shiny dick that points in your direction right now, is what she's saying. And work hard, yourself, to be worthy of that good, salt-of-the-earth man.
Bill Clinton is not a good, salt-of-the-earth man; he is that next shiny dick pointing in your direction right now.

I think it's necessary to separate the man and what he accomplished from the way the current game does what it does.
Robinson was the shit. He really was. In fact, he probably could have succeeded in almost any field he had chosen, and if he had lived longer he might have gone into politics in a way that would have given this country a very different outcome than we got with regard to our current race relations.

Hey everybody. Got news.
I got a job. Not as much pay as I'd like and further away than I'd like, but I got one.
I start Tuesday, doing data entry for a copy service that contracts with insurance companies.
Ironically, I just yesterday interviewed for yet another job that,
while also an awkward commute, is much closer and would pay
significantly more. So I admit that if that second job offer comes
through, I'm gonna be in an awkward position. ;-)
But hey, it's nice to at least have SOMETHING. And it finally proves
that I *can* get hired, which I was worried about. (I was to the point
that I was wondering if one of my previous bosses or references was
badmouthing me.)

I quibble with that a bit. Robinson also showed, that rookie year, that he could take an incredible amount of abuse and hatred - and still succeed at sports. He was under orders from Branch Rickey to hold his temper all season long and he did so, despite a shitstorm of hatred directed at him.
That's not nothing. Robinson WAS an American hero.
What gets me is that everyone in baseball rattles off cheap platitudes about how great he was, but Robinson's real beliefs have been obscured and ignored.
He was a Christian and a Republican, a guy who never asked for a handout, never wanted to be treated differently than anybody else, just wanted to show what he could do. He took abuse like a man. He didn't whine. He had dignity and class. In the late '60's the Black Panthers called him a Tom because he was against violence and affirmative action.
In short, he was the complete opposite of Al Sharpton and his band of bottom feeders. If Robinson could see the SJWs of today, he'd puke.

When I lived in Hendersonville, TN I used to hang out at a place called Anchor High Grill (since changed ownership and now called The Rudder), a floating bar and restaurant at a marina on Old Hickory Lake.
Taylor's parents live in H'ville, and she did as well before she moved out to her own place. One fine Sunday afternoon (spring of 2009, IIRC) I was there with a few of my friends going in as she was coming out. We were polite and said, "Hey Taylor, how's it going?" as we passed her. She went, "Pfft," turned up her nose and continued on her way.
Her parents are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Used to have a drink with them from time to time.

Yep, that's another reason the adulation is so off-putting. Both Robinson and MLK were real men, with real lives. Much of what they believed in, and did during their lives is very incompatible with the modern left's perspectives on race. So they put the plastic figures up there for everyone to worship.

Also, she just saw the great new Scientology expose flick "Going Clear" and recommended it. Definitely going to pull it up on Netflix one of these days.

That's not nothing. Robinson WAS an American hero.
What gets me is that everyone in baseball rattles off cheap platitudes about how great he was, but Robinson's real beliefs have been obscured and ignored.

Yep, fair enough. As I said, I have nothing against the man himself; he did what few could have done, either athletically or morally.
My squawk is with the fawning adulation accorded him now, with every commentator trying to outdo the previous one.

The adulation never bothered me. Mainly because school only taught about blacks when it came to slavery and, looking back, leftist heroes. If they were right leaning they better have been fucking dynamite to include and if they were included you never heard about their politics or beliefs outside of true equality.

In the same interview, he praised former President Bill Clinton. He has referred to himself as a "Blue Dog Democrat" and stated that he supported presidential candidate Barack Obama in 2008.

rest will think it's just part of a pattern.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke
She's a pathological liar. She desparately wants to be.....loved. Or worshipped. Whatever.
She says these things because there is a big hole in her soul that can't be filled. She lies to prove that people will love her no matter what. It's kind of like an abusive relationship. If she become President, she will lie about things all the time. She lied about Bill constantly, and she KNEW the truth. She lied about Benghazi, and Christopher Stevens was supposed to be her friend.
It's a sickness, and a big part of the populace out there love her.

I've got all kinds of stories from that place.
Wanna talk sports? Sooner or later Richard Sterban from the Oak Ridge Boys will wander in and talk your ear off about sports, especially baseball.
Wanna just chill out and completely blitzed? Sooner or later Gary Allen will come in and sit quietly with some of his friends and band members and pound drinks for several hours.
Karaoke night? Yeah, that's Tommy Heath (vocalist for Tommy Tutone) up there singing, but he can't do 867-5309 due to contractual reasons.
That freaking enormous dude over there cutting up? Jeff Jarrett.
You never know who's going to show up at the place, primarily because they know they won't get mobbed by star-struck idiots. They get treated like normal people.

Saw it this weekend w/free HBO - it is fascinating and it's freaky what Scientology gets away with in this day and age, including emotional and physical abuse, blackmail, harassment, stalking, what is essentially slavery (paying people $8/week for devades). They convince followers to never read anything about Scientology from an outside source to keep them brainwashed.

I saw a show on ID Network (true crime) about a guy who was high up in Scientology and left. It pretty much reinforced what everyone thought about how they keep people in line. For regular people there is strong arm intimidation, but more often, they have mountains of personal information on their members through the auditing. Lord knows what they have on Tom Cruise and John Travolta.

It's less the appearance, rather than the kind of woman inside the skin. I used to know a woman who was kinda plain and homely, a little goofy. But all the guys that worked with her adored her because she was funny and charming, and fun to be around.
The wife of a guy that works for me is also kind of homely, but not unpleasant looking. But she has a warm and charismatic personality, and all kinds of people are always charmed with her wherever she goes. She makes friends with anybody very easily.
There is a little lady who cuts hair at the barber shop I go to. She is a little cute and chubby, but is absolutely the sweetest woman, and gets treated like a queen there.

Hell, H'Ville's version of Otis Campbell is Marty Stuart.

Looks cool. Next time I'm in Nashville, I'll make the drive. Menu looks decent too.
>>>The unspoken rule is that if they're there and not in 'celebrity mode', just be cool and treat them like a normal person.
It's not an unspoken rule so much as a law carved into stone. One time I did a shot with Dierks (sp?) Bentley. Didn't even know he was famous until the bartender told me my drink was paid for. Cool guy. I really wish that was a better story, but it was just a few guys tossing back a shot.

Oh, and the internet is going to go blooie tomorrow because a new Star Wars trailer is going to premier at the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim.
I thought the actual trailer was going to be held back from the web until it shows with Avengers 2, but that might have changed. At the very least, phone cams will undoubtedly leak.

It's so fake it's in uncanny valley. Whenever someone's that fake on the outside, it doesn't bode well for what's underneath all of the plastic and make-up.

Frankly, Ms. Swift is indeed, blessed with a classically beautiful face, alluring, sultry and seductive. And her legs. Oh, her legs.
A bit more ass, a bit more tits, and perfection approaches.
Still though, if lacking the heart and soul of an 'Ette, she'd be for me a "pass". I've had one similar in my past, a beauty who at 40, could have been a "walk on" for any Budweiser Calendar ever or yet printed.
Yet, she lacked certain essential humanities which are the hallmark of the 'Ette, and the lack thereof signal the shrew.
Column B? If one considers that a marriage is to an entire family, then so is dating at any level beyond the proverbial hook-up. And that's a family to avoid at all costs, given all available evidence.
That kind of crazy infuses the entire family tree, root to branch, and it's best to avoid altogether.
The 'Ettes here pretty much define what are the good, positive and desirable traits to find in a lass.
Mind, heart, spirit, soul. The inner beauties.
And, word has it that they're all hotties, too. I have no reason to doubt that, either. No reason at all.

Simple, she want the adoration of the crowd she is speaking to, and she knows the media will never call her on any of it.
It is the same reason every Dem throws out about a 100 lies in a speech, and when the GOP calls them on one lie, all the other lies just go on by. It's like a security guard trying to stop a gang of "youths" from shoplifting en masse, you might get one, but all the rest will get away. So, all those people who think being the child of immigrants will say that "Hillary knows what I go through" even though she has no idea.

That's because it's not really a math problem, but actually a logic problem (and although the two concepts are related, they're not the same thing).
Logic -- now that is something I've always been good at. I'm not sure why everyone was so baffled by the Singapore problem -- it wasn't even very complicated. Everyone's bewilderment at it only confirms what has been self-eivdent for quite a number of years now -- that the US population absolutely stink at math these days.
When I was in school, I very distinctly considered myself a math moron, way below average. Now, although my own skill level has not changed, I suddenly feel I'm above average (in this country at least) -- because the national skill level collapsed around me.

One thing about slap is that he speaks from his heart -- which is why it rings so true to us who habitually conceal our own. On the flip side, he doesn't do "commissioned" prayers, even when he could articulate our hopes, wishes, and communications with the almighty so much better than we could.

Posted by: Luap Nor's last brain cell at April 16, 2015 04:39 AM (wQ7l/)
I should just leave it.
Robert and I haunted the ONT together when I was preparing to visit Saint Petersburg. If I wanted to nail down the dates, it was after the two exhibitions from the Musee d'Orsay in San Francisco. Those two exhibitions rubbed our noses in the fact that there were very few "great galleries" of art, and one in particular always ended up being off the radar -- the Hermitage. So, the fiancee and I visited the Hermitage, Saint Petersburg, and Peterhof......it was lovely.....and, then, a couple of years later, Americans were shit.
Anyway, it turns out that Russian and English share a lot of vocabulary.....that you'd never know about if you couldn't adapt to the difference in alphabet. For instance, stop signs in Russia say "stop" -- except it's spelled C, T, O, *pi*. Restaurant is "PECTOPAH" -- they're pronounced the same. You frequently see "CY*pi*EPMAPKET" -- that's a supermarket (Y is U). There are a bunch of places marked "KA *phi* E" that are cafes.
And TPAKTOP is pronounced and means tractor.

The funny thing is that I'd studied Greek when I was a kid -- maybe 11 or 12 years old -- just for shits and giggles. So I was somewhat familiar with the Greek alphabet going in. But when you see a place across the street with a sign that says " *gamma*ACTPOHOM", it takes you a while to realize that it spells out "gastronom" and sells snacks.

582 when I was a kid we had this Webster's dictionary that had a page
with 4 or 5 alphabets in a table. Since I was fascinated by Greek myth I
memorized the Greek alphabet. I think I must have been around 8 or 9. I
tried memorizing the Hebrew alphabet too. The Russian one was also in
the table.
Sadly I've forgotten most of it.

Let's pretend we're Muslims; that was the assignment in a world history class at Union Grove High School in Wisconsin. Students were told to provide examples of how they practice the Islamic faith and the struggles they face.
Knowing how I was in HS my written response would be this:
I would wrap my head in a diaper, marry 4 or 5 women and beat them regularly, pick fights with every non-muzzie within my reach, and kill the ones who could not fight back by cutting off their heads.
One wonders if any of the students in WI wrote something like that?

It's a lot easier to throw money at wind and solar projects than it is to get energy out of them. That, at least, is the conclusion one could draw from the Energy Information Administration's latest Annual Energy Outlook, released this week.
IBD is missing the elephant. These projects are not there to help "energy". They are there to sooth Democrat watermelon supporters and pay off cronies.

But it is supposed to be a "tax cut", at least that is what they say. If it IS a cut, then there should be some spending cuts to go with it.
But I don't believe this for a minute. Its election year, primary rhetoric. They always say this and never deliver unless their name is RR,

I'd marry a 6 yr old, but wait until she's 9 to consummate the marriage. I'd listen for trees and rocks to tell me, "there is a Jew hiding behind me. Come kill him." I'd wage continual expansionist warefare against non Muslims, and if they put up resistance, accuse the of being Islamaphobic bigots. Did they leave those parts out? I guess they only tell you that stuff later on, like scientology's OTIII level stuff.

In other words, when I was growing up, the Board of Ed expected us to do exactly what the free-range kids were doing - get ourselves home without parental supervision. And if an 11-year-old child was considered an appropriate escort for a 5-year-old, why is everyone outraged at a 10-year-old supervising his 6-year-old sister? As far as I know, the kids in my old neighborhood are still walking to elementary school, up to 3/4 mile, by themselves if their parents can't/won't drive them or walk with them.

Some group - Congressional wives, I think - who had provided the list of performers apologized to Hillary for this. I gather it would have been hard to put together a slate of country singers which *didn't* have someone indebted to Tammy Wynette for career assistance. In any case, I don't believe Lorrie Morgan ever apologized.
