TaxProf Blog mentions a bill introduced by Portman to 'hold accountable' IRS agents overstepping. Taxpayer Bill of Rights (?). Problem I am having is that it still requires the taxpayer to PROVE that IRS overstepped. How is it possible to prove something like that?
Unless the burden of proof shifts from taxpayer to IRS I do not see how that does anything whatsoever. More kabuki, I guess.

NPR voice puts me in search and destroy mode. It's annoying in men; it gives me involuntary muscle spasms when women talk like that. The bad kind. How the hell can a person make thick smacking sounds during every different consonant?
Hrrrgghhhhh. And then they were unrehearsed, made horrible jokes, and stammered their way through a completely rote, un-insightful breakdown of what the antikythera mechanism is.

I won't personally have a lot of cleanup to do as long as the power stays on. Some of my neighbors are actually crying and don't know what to do. I have one extra sump pump to offer but that's all I can do for now. It will be days before the water level goes down enough to even start for some of them. Good luck to you.

The GOPe types are fully invested in the concept that nominating Rubio will flip the entire Hispanic population of the world to vote GOP, even though polls show that Hispanics are not remotely conservative (prime example: Pope Francis). I've had to unfollow like 3 of them this week on Twitter to make the frothing go away.

New(er) leftist hotness: White liberals need free education, debt forgiveness, free health care, and minimum wage far above their actual worth because that is what white liberals in Sweden or Denmark or someplace have. (White Privilege 2.0).
Does WP2.0 completely negate WP 1.0? Or are White People still too privileged but entitled to even more but must feel even more guilty? Very confusing. Maybe the new prog demigod Bernie Sanders could shed some light on this.

That's right. If El Nino is strong, then it rain. Unless the Boogie Man gets him.
I love these kinds of predictions, which boil down to "If it rains, it will rain. If not, not," which prognosticators dress up by introducing an intermediate variable, in this case El Nino.
Bottom line: I doubt very much that they have the faintest idea what's going to happen. They're like stock touts: stake out an extreme position. If it's wrong, no one will remember. If it's right, you look like a genius. Rinse. Lather. Repeat.

Not everyone was admiring, music critics are a nasty lot:
In La Bohème, silly and inconsequential incidents and dialogues... are daubed over with splotches of instrumental color without reason
and without effect, except for the creation of a sense of boisterous excitement and confusion. In his proclamation of passion, Puccini is more successful as soon as he can become strenuous; but even here the expression is superficial and depends upon strident phrases pounded out by hitting each note a blow on the head as it escapes the mouths of singers or the accompanying instruments. - H.E. Krehbiel (1854-1923)(New York Tribune, 27 December 1900)

Sources in the Trump camp say they will soon launch a major ad blitz that could cost at least $2 million a week, and possibly several times that.
The initial wave of ads will focus on Trumps vision and his stance on key issues. But that could change if any GOP rivals target him with negative commercials. If you attack Trump, he will attack you 10 times as hard, an adviser says. We will not allow any attack to go unanswered.
Some pundits have expressed skepticism that Trump really wants to dig deeply into his personal fortune, but these sources insist he is ready to do just that -- perhaps as much as $100 million for advertising overall. Our Super PAC, says the adviser, is Donald Trumps bank account.

I've decided the medium itself, the 90 minute to 2 hour self-contained story, doesn't really appeal to me anymore. I find myself, even when I like a movie, looking at the clock so I will have some idea when this thing will be wrapped up.
It might have something to do with modern movie making, with all its wizbang special effects, but it's more than that. I know it's mostly me, and I'm fine with that.
This Star Wars hoopla appeals to me, not even just a little.

Remember all the melodramatic ones? "Indiana Wants Me" "Run, Joey, Run" "Joey Don't Be a Hero." Misunderstood Bad Boy comes to Tragic End.
There was one song, I can't recall the name of it, that consisted of a father and son fighting over the son's hair, lack of a job, etc. The hippie son O.D's and the father gets the phone call at the end of the song. Of course, its' all his fault his kid is dead because dad didn't understand him. I think the refrain was something like "Things get a little easier once you understand."
Made me cry when I was about 13 and felt so misunderstood myself. It was a terrible piece of dreck.

Wanna call you on the telephone, baby, give you a ring
But each time we talk, I get the same old thing
Always, "No huggee, no kissee until I get a wedding ring"
My honey, my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf
She said, "Don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself"
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, why you gonna treat me this way?
You know I'm still your loverboy, I still feel the same way
That's when she told me a story 'bout free milk and a cow
And said, "No huggee, no kissee until I get a wedding vow"
My honey, my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf
She said, "Don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself"
You see, I wanted her real bad and I was about to give in
That's when she started talking about true love, started talking about sin
I said, "Honey, I'll live with you for the rest of my life"
She said, "No huggee, no kissee until you make me a wife"
My honey, my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf
She said, "Don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself"

There is some serious problems with contradictory/inconsistent views amongst the left. Much like the whole "women deserve the right to be believed" while at the same time saying they believe in innocent until proven guilty.

But Ruby struck me as a song about a genuinely tragic situation - a paralyzed Vietnam vet who pleads with his wife/girlfriend not to leave him because she's the only thing he has left. That song was, IMO, very very well done (and the only popular song I can think of which expressed sympathy for Vietnam vets) and miles above crap like "Run, Joey, Run."

I'm betting there are a lot of old collaborators taking off as fast as their walkers and wheelchairs can carry them. Playwright Samuel Beckett, himself active in the Resistance, was disgusted with the number of 'patriots' who came out at the end of the war declaring themselves veterans of the Resistance, many of whom he personally knew had been neutral at best. Said he hated them more than he had hated the Germans.

That sack of shit, Jean-Paul Sartre, had his plays produced in Paris throughout the war. After the war, he not only pretended he had been in the Resistance, he denounced others as collaborators.
Camus had actually been in the Resistance, but Camus never inflated his own role.
After Rousseau, I can't think of another French intellectual who was a bigger phony and did more harm than Sartre.

Playwright Samuel Beckett, himself active in the Resistance, was
disgusted with the number of 'patriots' who came out at the end of the
war declaring themselves veterans of the Resistance, many of whom he
personally knew had been neutral at best. Said he hated them more than
he had hated the Germans.

Fun fact: the Resistance was essentially the French Communist Party, who after Barbarossa were ordered by the Comintern (i.e., Stalin) to resist the Nazis. They were used to operating underground, in a cell-type structure.

Worst French philosopher? Michel Foucault comes to mind. As an example, there is strong evidenceFoucault, then living as an expatriate in San Francisco, continued to frequent thebath house scene after finding out he was HIV positive (this was in the late Seventies, early Eighties). Foucault had sex with all of these men without telling them he was positive. He knowingly infected dozens, maybe more, because--according to a colleague of his at the time--Foucaultloved the idea of sex and death mixed together in a kind of frisson. Or whatever the hell.
Some callFoucault a great philosopher. Others, like me, call him a rat bastard serial killer who got off on murder.

Timeline trouble here. Had to have been later than that.
No one knew HIV existed in the late Seventies. In the early Eighties, AIDS as a syndrome was recognized (then called GRID, Gay Related Immune Deficiency, and you can imagine how fast the pressure built to drop that name). But the viral association was not yet clear.
It wasn't until the mid to late Eighties that HIV was properly isolated and identified, and tests which could reveal someone to be seropositive became available.

It wasn't until the mid to late Eighties that HIV was
properly isolated and identified, and tests which could reveal someone
to be seropositive became available.

I remember in the late 70s seeing a zillion posters on telephone poles in Berkeley (in which EVERY phone poll is festooned with about a hundred posters, one on top of the other) referring to a "gay men's health crisis" in the era before HIV/AIDS had been identified. I always wondered what the hell those posters were talking about.

Use of the term 'HIV positive' is incorrect, sure, at least for that time period, but Foucaultknew he was infected, knew he had AIDS. The AIDS epidemic was in full bloom in the early to mid-Eighties.
The information on this aspect of Foucault's life came from Roger Kimball's New Criterion essay, 'The Perversions of M. Foucault'. I read it back when I had a New Criterion subscription.

Posted by: Bruce With a Wang!
Turns out that HIV infection was rampant in the community pre-AIDS!
Latest research suggests that the human/HIV epidemic started as far back as the 1920s, but no one knew it yet: the virus was still unknown and unidentified, there was not yet a noticeable "cluster" of cases (due to gays still being mostly closeted and not perceived as a "social group"), the diseases only manifests as an uptick of other diseases (allowed to run rampant by low immunity), and there was less anal sex with resultant anal micro-fissures (to be perfectly blunt). Also, it was less fatal then and had not yet evolved to its current more fatal form.
The gay community, it is now thought, had HIV running rampant for decades and decades; it only went into "epidemic" mode and also only had a chance to accelerate evolution to a more lethal form in the mid-'70s, when the "gay sex explosion" happened. The effect began to manifest epidemiologically in 1979, and was identified as a syndrome a year or two later.

My go-to example of horrible schlock in movies these days is that insipid cartoon, Frozen. Good lord that is some awful, terrible, horrible music.
Disney in general has probably done more than its fair share to destroy "classical" and/or operatic music because they dumbed it down for the masses.

True story, there's a hymn called "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken" which has the same melody (Austrian Anthem). At our church we had a lot of Dutch immigrants who were kids during the Nazi occupation and they were really uncomfortable with that hymn because of the connotations in their mind and memories. It eventually got dumped from the hymnal, which is too bad because its such a great song.

But it's just another lifestyle, as perfectly valid and healthy as any other, and should be encouraged and taught approvingly in schools.
I read Shilts's book "And the Band Played On," which laid blame for the AIDS deaths on ... Ronald Reagan.
No, he wasn't alleging that Reagan was a fruit, he blamed him for not throwing the entire public health budget at the problem. He had no problem with the bathhouse owners who resisted closure to hinder spread of the disease.

decades and decades; it only went into "epidemic" mode and also only had
a chance to accelerate evolution to a more lethal form in the mid-'70s,
when the "gay sex explosion" happened.
Hence, in my view, the Biblical injunction against (male) homosexuality. Nothing to do with mystical friends in the sky: it's a public health stricture, much like those against eating pork or shellfish.

Gaetan Dugas was his name, a.k.a. "Patient Zero."
Yeah, but where did he get it from? That's the big question. All the sudden its all over the place, when before it was unheard of?
Posted by: Christopher Taylor
Although research in the '80s identified Dugas as the "original vector," we now know that he wasn't the guy who started it -- he was just a early "Typhoid Mary"-type hyper-vector. He could have picked it up at any number of places around the world, where HIV was already endemic, unknown to science.
Read comment #565 above -- it didn't appear out of nowhere suddenly in the 1970s, as previously thought.

A few years ago I read a newspaper story about how stupid it was that people in a survey believed you could get AIDS from kissing. Later in the article they quoted someone from the CDC saying it was "highly unlikely" to get AIDS from kissing. The idiots writing the story didn't even realize "highly unlikely" is the same as "possible" even if it is only remotely possible but they just wanted to make all the "haters" look stupid.

Before it hit big, there was a teen in St Louis who died of Aids. He refused to admit he had gay sex but the blood samples they kept later confirmed he had the hiv virus.

I read Shilts's book "And the Band Played On," which laid blame for the AIDS deaths on ... Ronald Reagan.
No, he wasn't alleging that Reagan was a fruit, he blamed him for not throwing the entire public health budget at the problem. He had no problem with the bathhouse owners who resisted closure to hinder spread of the disease.
Posted by: Jay Guevara at December 28, 2015 01:40 PM (oKE6c)
Stilts' book is very good at doing the groundwork reporting on what was happening. Yeah, he was a gay man (with AIDS), so the Reagan bashing is silly, but he also showed very clearly how gross incompetence among all levels of public health governmental entities and politicians, ESPECIALLY locals in places like San Franny were mostly responsible for the slow response.

Shilts in his book said that Dugas claimed to have queered off with 5000 guys over a three year period. Yep, you read that right: roughly (?) five guys a day on average.
Public health investigators gave up trying to trace his contacts; Dugas used to strip off, lie face down, and get bopped by any passersby who were interested. He couldn't identify them, as he never saw their faces.
Amazing.

Seems most likely that Dugas picked up the bug in one of its Third World human reservoirs where it had been quietly picking off people for years before that, unnoticed there because of the nonexistent public health infrastructure.
A few more deaths that look like ordinarily understood infectious disease just get lost in the background noise in a place like Haiti.

It's highly unlikely one will be infected with HIV from kissing, in the sense that if the other person you are kissing is bleeding profusely from his/her mouth, and you have festering, open sores in and around the areas where blood is pouring into your mouth, then sure.

608 I think a lot of people play classical music when they are learning an instrument and may pick up an appreciation for it then. Or a hatred.
I'm developing an appreciation for it now because I'm tired of being limited to popular music/old rock standards. The thing about rock music is it's basically for teenagers and has to do with adolescent emotions (lust, rebellion, "wahh, they don't understand me.") It occurred to me a while back that never moving beyond that is like never moving beyond reading the same sort of fiction I liked when I was 17.
If you don't, that doesn't make you a bad person. But there is something to be said for that old cliché about expanding your horizons.

Disney in general has probably done more than its fair share to destroy "classical" and/or operatic music because they dumbed it down for the masses.

Probably Africa, where it has been endemic for some time. Or from the rampant gay scene in Germany. I knew a guy, friend of a friend, and did some car work for him, who was an "early adopter" of AIDS, and who died in the late '80's. He was a big traveler for work, too, and probably crossed paths with "patient zero". Also apparently had a walk-on role in a Rainer Warner Fassbinder film, which producer was all teh gay.

I do. It's a very fragile virus. It requires very favorable conditions in which to survive, both free floating viral particles, and virus inside already infected cells.
Fluids like saliva and urine are harsh, hostile conditions for microbes in general, because they have to be. Saliva contains enzymes that are DESIGNED to break down and destroy foreign invaders, because the mouth of course, is exposed to all sorts of them.
Hence, infectious virus is not only not found in saliva and urine, those substances are killing any that is carried within them by substances like blood and semen.

Nope. Not really. Wounds tend to be self-protecting. The human body is designed to minimize risk of exposure to microbes through ordinary wounds.
Only under extreme conditions are those wounds going to allow free access to viruses like HIV, and again, most people who are kissing somebody else are not letting that person pour blood into their mouths.

I can only tell you, from having worked in this area, the CDC and WHO actively misled people on the relative risks from various body fluids. They were coy at best, and downright deceitful at worst.
Which caused much more panic and uncertainty, but I guess the justification is it reduced the number of people out there bumping uglies unprotected. Which it probably didn't, but that was the thinking, apparently.

The simplified answer is this: it's a numbers game. How much virus is there, and how rapidly does the immune response obliterate virus particles? HIV has an insidious method though... certain cells of the immune system are the VERY types the virus seeks to infect! So when macrophages and other cells "swallow" virus, it protects it while transporting it back to the lymph glands where it can break out like a Trojan horse.

A couple of friends I had in college got into recognizing and appreciating classical music after recognizing some tunes they had originally heard via Bugs and Daffy. John Williams is one of the greatest classic composers ever, despite the fact his music has nothing to do with wigs, knee breeches, and singing fat chicks.

weeks ago in the car with the wife and kids. I knew it was popular but
had no idea how crappy it was. Lousy, cheap production, weak talent and
very dated. It sounded like it was a crap song from some cheap
infomercial made 20 years ago.

Spent Christmas with a number of little nieces and nephews. It stunning how vapidly stupid kid's entertainment is. Granted I was probably watching Scooby Doo at that age but these kid's shows (with all the cutesy voices) are headache inducing.

Apparently, Jeb! has challenged The Donald to a one-on-one debate...I say they should go at it muy thai style...
Boy there is a beatdown in the making, although if Jeb is feeling froggy, let him take a leap.

That's it! That's the one. It wasn't noticeably liberal, but the thick sludgy voice of the lady who did the interview with the LAPD diver who went in the la brea tar pits almost sent me over the edge.
Then in the antikythera episode, that one guy is so lame, awkward doesn't even touch it. And the other smug guy goes off "...he was trying to be helpful when he called it an ancient computer, but...it's *not* a computer. It's not a computer." Oh really. I'm sorry, what did it do again? Automate the calculation of the paths of heavily bodies? Well, since it was in a wooden box, and not a plastic one, you must be right.
I guess this makes me a critic.

Reminds me of the time I was trout fishing in a narrow, brushy Michigan brook. Something bumped into the back of my leg. It was a muskrat moving downstream. I let him move on a couple of yards and then clicked my tongue. That little critter dived and kicked into high gear.

The cells meant to protect you are used against you.

The virus causes what called an immune flip. T1 and I think T4 white blood cells interchange in predominance. Thus exponentially decreasing one's ability to stave off such maladies such as certain kinds of cancer, viri, and bacteria.
Remember. This is a disease of immunosuppression.

I know Ace has stomped this thread already, but I wanted to say, I'm pretty sure (too lazy to search) it was Bread who did "Yooooou left me... just when I needed you most."
Must've been circa '79, because that's when sheeeee left me, just when I needed her most. Or maybe I was being crazy and we needed a break. I'm still not sure.
I picked it out on the eighty-eights, both because singing it helped make that dumb song less stinging, and because I had written a song of my own that had a similar kind of tune, and I wanted to see how similar. Very.
We got back together, and have been ever since. Amen.
