I do not recall there being any "right to not being offended" in the Constitution. This crap has gone to ridiculous extremes now. Personally I think the people who are offended in this case are university officials.

According to the Frederick County Sheriff's Office, 18year-old illegal immigrant Jose Misael ReyesReyes was arrested Thursday after he approached and punched Deputy First Class Greg Morton, who at the time was seated in a marked police vehicle.
This slug has been arrested twice before and still has not been deported.

On Obama's illegal pen and phone AGW fraud: The president wants to decarbonize the planet by killing fossil-fuel production and its high-paying jobs. Almost no other nation is following his lead despite the promises that will be made at the Paris climate summit.
Everybody else has finally agreed to quit pushing this fraud after more and more leaks have come out showing that it has always been a fraud.

As I say, his positions on issues are one thing, and we could and should discuss that. But the story is the Leftist media lynching is the issue, not to us because we know it, but in that it is now way out in the open for even the dumbest LIV to see.
And I still stand by my statement, despite disagreeing with all of them on something. Considering the other side and the sham GOP-e stooge candidates, I will take Carson any day of the week and gladly.

O'Reilly's anger gets the better of him, and George Will is shaking from absolute fear of the attack.

It made me uncomfortable to watch all the way through. And, as usual, O'Reilly barely lets Will talk.

So you think we should vote for some random dude just because he's a nice guy? Never mind all that boring stuff about supporting actions and policies we consider bad for America?
I, too, used to believe some people were going way too far in their quest for ideological purity. But we've swung the other way, and will support candidates who say damn near anything if we think their "nice" and have some special attribute that makes them electable.

Bill O'Reilly absolutely ripped into George Will over the book he wrote about Reagan's life. And it got UGLY...
Dayaaammm. O'Reilly straight up called George Will a liar, while Will blasted him for misleading America and doing the work of the left in his "extreme recklessness."
That had to be one of the bloodier conservative on conservative fights I've ever seen.

I agree, Vic. But there's one problem: the last two times I held my nose and went LOTE, it was a choice between a squishy, unreliable doofus and Choom Boy. That can make ya break down and pinch the ol' nostrils, I'm afraid.
Naturally, we're not all applying the same standards. There are issues that some consider the "hill to die on," while some don't feel that way. That's understandable.
But there are a few places where I feel compelled to draw the line. TPP is one, and nukes for Iran is another. Carson fails on least one of these test issues (haven't heard him express an opinion on Iranian nukes so far) and Cruz fails on both.
But hey, that's just me.

I have amended and revised my "Ace of Spades Blog Commenter's Survival Guide" (after only one day) to reflect suggestions made by folks and some things I thought of. I should emphasize this is the "unauthorized and unofficial" guide.
http://bit.ly/aoshq-csg
Special thanks to Mama AJ for two good suggestions. Vicarious lurker Milady Webworker had a good suggestion, too.
Carol asked yesterday morning why one can't use "Blaster." Nope. You can't use "bl@zer" (with an a). As to why, imagine a commenter so awful that its very name is banned on the board. From before my time, but that's what I heard. If you want to talk about the Chevy car, you have to use a workaround.
Lizzy asked if I'd covered the 500 error problem. I did. Check the "Non-ASCII characters" section.
Any additional suggestions, things to add, or better ways to say things, let me know.
Now to catch up on the comments and ignore some morning chores... until the pets get mean.

The Sinai: Swimming with the Sand Sharks?
Posted by: Anna Puma at November 07, 2015 07:50 AM (MxQ7y)
Nah. Too much of Sinai is covered in rock and mountains. The few flat spots with sand are covered in old land mines from the '56 and '67 wars. The sand sharks wouldn't survive.
I'm serious about the mines though. You can see hundreds of them from the roads. And the mines migrate during sandstorms. I was stationed there in '90 with the peacekeepers, and the damned Bedouin would find mines that had migrated to near their traditional smuggling routes and camel trails. They'd pick them up and carry them to the main roads, sit and wait for our road patrols. Then they'd wave the mine over their heads to get their attention so we could call EOD in. Idiots.

The requirement to swear fealty to the king, and the increasing numbers of people who refused to do so was an indicator of a pending civil war in England. The details are a little fuzzy but it seems to make sense.
Either you are a nationalist patriot, or you are not.
I don't really care if anyone swears an oath or not since it is too easy to lie; swear fealty and work toward rebellion at the same time. But openly refusing seems like it would be an open statement that you are not in favor of the current government.
I, for one, will swear, pledge, or affirm loyalty to the US constitution which is why I want to see Obama.. . . uh. . that is to say. . . in other words. . . okay, never mind. . . let me get some coffee.

Before that they were Roccus Lineatus, meaning rock fish what has lines on it. It's all very sciency.

Louder With (Steven) Crowder:
The Real CNBC Republican Debate
Crowder has his good stuff and his mediocre stuff. Lately, IMO, mostly mediocre.
This video is animated in "Clutch Cargo" style, something Crowder has done several times lately. Amusing in its own right, for being so disturbing.
This has its moments. Doesn't really take a full swing at the moderators, not much pro or con the candidates. Just kind of juvenile mockery like old Mad Magazine might've done. So, enjoyable enough, if you go into it with lowered expectations.

Anders Fjellberg: Two Nameless Bodies Washed Up on the Beach. Here Are Their Stories
Spoilers: They were Syrian refugees trying to swim the English Channel.
While it leans toward the "those poor refugees" side of things, I found this interesting because: informed citizens (hello, Morons!) know there is a huge influx of militant yoots into Europe, a dangerous tide of threatening, low-culture Islamists, including criminals, rapists, and terrorists. But, it seems (seems!) these two refugees, well, one of them, really were fleeing the destruction of their homes in search of a better life.
Also interesting for its glimpses of the terrible conditions in the refugee camps (which are a consequence of bad Euro policies, of course).
Maybe most intriguing sheerly in its detective work on "who were these bodies?"

I was concerned Hank Green would be on the side of the scaremongers, but this video actually covers the WHO report on what the statistical "increased risks" from red and processed meats really means, compared to the scary headlines and bad reporting, like Time Magazine's cover story on "the war on deliciousness" that I mentioned days ago.
Hank quotes: "Does it mean you should stop eating bacon? I dunno. How much do you like it?" And "If you're eating pounds of hot dogs a day, you might want to cut back." Heh.

We are of like mind, naturalfake. I once heard an interview with a modern "classical" composer who stated that he didn't care if the listening audience hated his piece on the first, tenth, or hundredth performance. He actually wanted an antagonistic relationship with the audience, because Art! should shake you to your foundation. Or words to that effect. By connecting to his listeners easily, it puts him on the same level, I guess. Like I would be on the same level as Beethoven or Brahms.
And I remember as a kid HATING The Rite of Spring the first time I heard it, and ADORING it the second time. So there is something to the idea of The Shock of the New, but it's not The Hate of Your Bullshit.
The fact that I can't remember this douchesmith's name speaks volumes.

"I'm having trouble parsing this, Bruce. Nothing about this particular individual being a rapist. I said nothing about obligations to let them in or anything else like that."
Yes but in your quote you seem to be conflating "fleeing destruction for a better life" with not being one of the bad ones:
"because: informed citizens (hello, Morons!) know there is a huge influx of militant yoots into Europe, a dangerous tide of threatening, low-culture Islamists, including criminals, rapists, and terrorists. But, it seems (seems!) these two refugees, well, one of them, really were fleeing the destruction of their homes in search of a better life."
But that is a false dichotomy. And conflation is one of the primary tools the left uses to push false narratives, "unarmed black teen shot by white officer".
They want you to conflate "unarmed black" with innocence and white with racist. Also it wouldn't surprise me if key details were left out of the bios of these refugees: another liberal trick.
I didn't mean to freak out, sorry, it's just I think that any faint hint or possibility of conflation needs to be examined so that if we ever recover from our current situation, no leftist group will ever be able to cause such large scale acceptance of bad ideas again.
"When you say, "I hope they haven't tuned you," do you mean "turned"? And do you mean me? As if. I'm inoculated for life by Moron Attitude. You don't seem to have read my review very carefully. "

She actually said that was what it was about. She said on her first trip to HI she looked out her hotel window at the mountains off in the distance then looked down and saw hotel parking lots as far as the eye could see.
The later lyrics about the "big yellow taxi that took away her old man" she has not explained but the speculation is that was referring t the Toronto police who had big yellow cars at the time.

I believe it was either Lennon or McCartney that started writing whimsical lyrics that didn't make much in the way of sense.

The logical fallacy is clear in just the title of the piece. Two, maybe three sentences it, the fallacy screams even louder when the author says, (more or less) you have to be polite to me because I have a gun.
This way of thinking is similar to Heinlein's old adage that 'an armed society is a polite society'. Again the fallacy is obvious to anyone who can see.
Using 16th century Japan as an example, it was a polite society because if you were rude, the samurai would cut your head off. Of course, people were rude all the time, and there were wars. The sword didn't make anyone polite, just as the gun doesn't make anyone civil.
A polite society, a civil society comes from within the individual who chooses to be polite and civil and tolerant. Using force to enforce 'civil behavior' isn't civilization. It's just political power being used by the ruler to control the ruled.
Ultimately, that's all there is. Polite is just a disguise that hides the force that will rain down on you if you break the rules. Most of us are polite because it is just easier. When the disorder becomes too great, there will be a correction.

Which is why I wrote "it seems (seems!)..." Just because 99%+ of the "refugees" are really a violence-prone invading army doesn't mean there aren't some valid refugees, regardless of how they're handled by other countries.
This particular individual, if you watch the video, was making a huge effort to get somewhere he wasn't exactly welcome, by non-legal means. So, despite his motives, still doing it wrong. Ultimately so wrong, he ended up being fish food.
Anyway, as I said, the most interesting part of the talk was the detective work on finding out who the bodies were. That's about half the talk or less.

Yes is of course the quintessential example of word salad put to music, and you either like the sound or you don't (they are one of those bands that remind me of my older sisters, so there's a real nostalgia to them for me).
The thing I always loved about blues music is that... I accept that I'm not supposed to "get" it, but what I appreciate is that they take this art form, wrap it tightly within a very basic framework, and then express a vast, nearly limitless perspective (call it soul or "the blues" or emotion or whatever) that is unique to each artist, even though the structure is time-tested and familiar to all who hear it.
It's a real life enigma.

As to Jon Anderson's statement about the words being another part of the sound, I have come to see it that way with most of the music I love. I have taken to focusing more on female vocalists the last several years, not because I necessarily need to know what they have to say, but because I love the sound.

Her eyes immediately well up, as she related the last few days of her Grandmother.
Without all the details, she was with her Grandmother, and her Grandmother was looking way beyond anything visible in the bedroom.
When she tapped her to ask if she was ok, her Grandmother asked why she had brought her back.
She then named every family member who had passed away, and said that she had seen them, and they were waiting for her when her time was ready.
And that it was beautiful.
She passed shortly after.
Your words meant a great deal to my wife.
Thank you.

But every civil society has a subset of non-civil elements. How they got that way is not critical, the fact that they exist is critical. The fact that the gun or the sword can be wielded by the individual in self defense allows many individuals a continued existence when faced by those non-civil elements, thus maintaining the very basis of a civil society.

In early Japan, the samurai cutting off the head of the disrespectful farmer wasn't acting in self defense. He was acting to suppress political dissent.
In Chicago, the gang murder of a rival gang member's son wasn't self defense, it is straight up terrorism.
Trying to make the claim that an individual who has to resort to force to preserve his life somehow preserves a polite and civil society simply points out that he with the most force makes the rules.

Joni Mitchell is reported to be recovering from her
stroke at home. Still think it is odd that she is not in a rehab
hospital. Even if you got the bucks, you need round the clock care, PT,
and all the medical treatment -xrays, blood tests, etc.

I keep thinking it's more that she OD'd on something really nasty and they're trying to keep it quiet. But I'm cynical.
Years ago, my cousin had a stroke and a long rehab which didn't bring him back 100%. It was almost 20 years until he admitted to my aunt that it wasn't just a stroke out of the blue, but that he collapsed while in a drug haze and smacked his head on the sidewalk the day before. Luckily, the experience scared him straight and he's fought successfully to become a sober, productive man.

One time when they removed my spleen, they put me on a morphine pump where you pushed the little button when you wanted a hit. I never once pushed the button, yet never once felt any pain. After about a day they found that the pump thing was not working properly and was giving me a continuing stream of morphine. Splenectomy? What splenectomy?

points out that he with the most force makes the rules.
Posted by: Hayfield Volkovski at November 07, 2015 10:14 AM (frWBY)
I didn't say this was a utopian solution, nonetheless, I believe that the right and ability of an individual to act forcefully to preserve his life slows down the triumph of the non-civil amongst us and thus gives the concept of a polite and civil society a longer lifespan.

McCartney, the Cute One. That woud be the second McCartney, after the first one died in that car crash. Had no use for him after his first solo album.
Lennon was the Serious One.
/willowing-tempting ramble ON
Lennon's lyrics, like those of Cat Stevens, mostly impressed me as sad, in a big way. They were struggling and searching for they knew not what. God, of course, and Truth. But they couldn't know that.
Stevens seemed to be finally coming close to something like a spiritual breakthrough, and an artistic one to boot, in Buddha and the Chocolate Box, but then flamed out and went Islamic. Well, whatever works for you, I guess. He quit music and public life. Which was probably good, considering.
Lennon put his frustrations in dramatic declarative statements (e.g. "Imagine") which still pi$$es off a lot of people. For me, it was evidence of his seeking but not quite finding, which really did reflect a lot of that generation, including me, although I was never that lost or lefty.
After abandoning his firstborn and getting sucked in by junk, he managed to clean up his act, hang up his guitar, and dedicate himself to his marriage and son.
I'd like to think that John came as close to peace in that era as he ever would. Maybe because of, maybe despite Yoko. That one sappy album they did before he was gunned down showed those changes, and as my wife and I had just started our own family at the time, I really appreciated his coming back with that message. When I turned on the radio one day to hear "Watching the Wheels," it was really a rare thrill.
Who knows what he might've achieved. He was never exactly the stereotypical leftie folks took him to be; he might've even become more conservative in his old age. Orrr... he might've just become (more of) an annoying old lefty curmudgeon. We'll never know.

I had the pleasure, in my younger days, or working not in but near the emergency room of a hospital. One day one of the nurses called me back, gestured toward an octogenarian patient and said "have you ever seen 80 year old puthy?"
Egad, I hadn't. There it was, for all the open bay of the ER to see, legs akimbo. A sight I have never been able to wash out of my mind in all the years of trying since.

Yes, that's exactly what he is for me. Once upon a time I was listening to the car radio when some bad stuff about Lennon came out and my wife said something about this Saint John Lennon I liked so much.
I said it was never about him being a saint, or perfect, but that he was a seeker.
We had three songs in our wedding. She picked a couple of show tunes. I got "Imagine". Of course we had to change the lyrics some.

Not an ALW fan either, but-
strangely enough,
I really like the music to his one big failure-
"By Jeeves"
a musical about Bertie Wooster and Jeeves.
Here's the music:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co7FCsY-
0vs&list=PLNXSK9RU25sgaltSJaQEnJdAnkwBvWu2v
(remove extra spaces)
And here's most of the play:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTLwJ-
k6kTw&list=PL8suAs1StE-ajzQ3fdTL7eg1qSRKpLmEO
(remove extra spaces)
For some reason Part 3 isn't on YouTube.
It starts a bit slow because the central conceit of the play is that it takes place in a small hamlet church charity show organized by Bertie Wooster.
Things go wrong and then Bertie has to take up the slack by narrating one of his recent adventures.
Stick with it. The play gets much better as it goes along. The songs are good and the whole thing is true to the letter and spirit of the books.
Shame about Part 3 missing though. It has one of my favorite songs.

In ol' Ben's defense, the stuff they're dragging out to vilify him is pretty weak sauce. Compare and contrast by looking through the words of Choom Boy, Shrillery, Crazy Uncle Bernie, etc., etc.
I don't think pyramids will ever be an issue for any President to deal with. Unless he's visiting them....
All that said, he was on my "I could vote for him" list until he came out in favor of ChoomTrade.
It's looking more like Vermin Supreme every day.

Just because 99%+ of the "refugees" are really a violence-prone invading army doesn't mean there aren't some valid refugees, regardless of how they're handled by other countries. This particular individual, if you watch the video, was making a huge effort to get somewhere he wasn't exactly welcome, by non-legal means. So, despite his motives, still doing it wrong. Ultimately so wrong, he ended up being fish food.
