Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Overnight Open Thread (2-11-2016)The point people seem to not comprehend about criminal sentencing is that its supposed to suck. That's the point: we punish people by punishing them. Prison is supposed to suck. Its supposed to be miserable and awful when you break the law and are punished for it. There's no reason for it to be sadistic and deliberately horrible, but its even worse to be too easy on the prisoner. How The Sausage Gets Made By Democratic Operatives With Bylines So Atlantic reporter Marc Ambinder wanted early access to a Hillary Clinton foreign policy speech and Clinton advisor/consigliere Philippe Reines was willing to give him a copy - but only if Ambinder agreed to his conditions: From: [Philippe Reines] Moments later, Ambinder compliantly responded: From: Ambinder, Marc And here is what Ambinder wrote in his article "Hillary Clinton's 'Smart Power' Breaks Through" published later that day: When you think of President Obama's foreign policy, think of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. That's the message behind a muscular speech that Clinton is set to deliver today to the Council on Foreign Relations. The staging gives a clue to its purpose: seated in front of Clinton, subordinate to Clinton, in the first row, will be three potentially rival power centers: envoys Richard Holbrooke and George Mitchell, and National Security Council senior director Dennis Ross.

So, anyways, CaliGirl, I liked dealing with farmers. They always had an opinion, and really liked to talk about what they were doing.
Welders talk about welding, truckers talk about driving and routes, but farmers will take you through every step of what they are doing. I learned more things talking to farmers.

Erin Esurance was kinda hot for a cartoon girl. At least that's what a friend told me.
Given that Germany had just tried to obliterate Polish culture and language and murdered more than six million Poles, I can't imagine how relations between Germany and Poland could possibly be as bad now as right after the war. Demanding they destroy their culture again probably does not sit well with the Poles. Posted by: Christopher Taylor at February 11, 2016 11:22 PM (39g3+) 52

Reading through the wasteful spending, and the dog MRIs and the Jazz robots don't seem wasteful to me. There's a lot of value to the military in understanding how the brain functions, both for theraputic and other reasons. And developing computers that can effectively interact with humans in incredibly complex and changing activities will be critical for incorporating unmanned systems onto the battlefield.

I don't remember the esurance cartoon girl, but I am now cursing the web for not having a perfect and accessible memory.
There was an ad for, I think, Harris Financial, which featured a woman who had "Lee" in her name. It was kind of a big deal in '98 or '99 because Lee had spectacular breasts and visible nipples. Someone finally noticed and they airbrushed her nipples out, but some enterprising blogger captured it. Gah! Brain cells! Why do you fail me?

66 Re: Difficultyou in firing GA employees: If there is ever an Article V convention, it needs to be spelled out that a government job is not a protected liberty interest. Costs at minimum $100k to fire a government employee. Posted by: ObjectionSustained at February 11, 2016 11:24 PM (JtErG) Should be that any member of the public could roll 2d6 against the employment of any government bureaucrat. If the functionary didn't make his saving throw, he'd be dismissed without recourse. The usual "critical hit" rules would be in effect -- including multi-year and lifetime bannings and loss of pension. Unfortunately, it would also be the case that damage-less strikes would roll against the fumble table -- which would include 50% "no problems" but also range up to "tax audit" and "FBI investigation".

M, Yeah it's not Skynet that will unleash the Robot War against humanity.
It will be the One World Government. They can't get Galactic Empire admittance with the population we have so they're going to pit one group against another. Slowly they've been opening borders so as to allow the clash of cultures but the US with the Pacific and the Atlantic as barriers and the Central/South Americans too small and non aggressive they've had to come up with another way. Although they are trying to introduce Muslims through the Northern border, they can build Robots faster. The robots will take over the jobs then the unemployed white males will start getting rounded up. Any fighting will be met with deadly force. Forget ammo, buy rope and nets. The only real way to counteract robots is not to attack their strength (their metal armor) but their weakness which balance and agility. Bolas will be useful also. Tiger traps and bunji traps will make a comeback. Buy metal plates to strap on the soles of your combat boots. Buy all metal jacketed bullets with steel cores. (if you can find them). Molotov cocktails will be good too but don't use them near buildings. And don't forget sticky bombs. Posted by: Bitter Clinger 1.0 and All That at February 11, 2016 11:57 PM (Xo1Rt) 206

Having said that, this might not be a "terrorist" attack, as in not planned or executed by a known group or cell. But an islamist hate crime, yes. Years ago, back around 2000, or so, before 9/11, at any rate, the pork packing plant in my little Alberta town brought in a couple of dozen Somalis to work there. Muzzies working in a pork packing plant? Yeah, riiight. Except somehow they convinced the company that they would overlook their prejudices for the sake of having work. Anyway, I was drinking in the bar one Saturday, and their was this Somali at the bar. Bald as a cue ball, and brown; looked more Arab than black African. He spoke good English. I said, "you must feel fortunate to be here in Alberta, with a good job, rather than stuck in Somalia, with all the shit that's going down there." He leaned over to me, and said in a confidential tone, "It's all the Jews' fault, of course." True story. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at February 12, 2016 12:26 AM (Z8fuk) 253

The experience of Prohibition, the widespread evasion - wherever practicable - of sales and income taxes, to say nothing of the history of our Revolution - it was a tax-revolt, at its core - suggests we'll be something like the Italians on some things, and most definitely like the Greeks when it comes to taxes, anyway.

Recidivism is the rule for all, either way, because there is no honest or decent life available to most of them upon release.
If you want to stop this, either implement all solitary confinement all the time or only allow the peons without criminal potential (if you can identify them) to socialize in prison. Posted by: Ceteris Paribus at February 12, 2016 01:24 AM (lQqJB) 366

Posted by: Lauren at February 12, 2016 01:12 AM (f3Iw2) There are a couple of fun observations that run that way -- common Spanish errors for native English speakers. Many of them result from trying to make a Spanish word out of an English one by adding an "a" at the end and editing to make it "Spanish-sounding". A classic example is when someone is trying to talk about a social gaffe in English that is "embarrassing". So they try to use "embarazada". Trouble is, that means "pregnant". And then, there is the total clusterfuck that involves washing your hands.

NcLyDog @ 452- Gut wound
James Ewell Brown Stuart, CSA, .44 caliber. We had a guy couple weeks ago with a through and through .380 caliber. That's why you carry at least a 9MM with a good self defense load. Well, off to work to pay the yankee reconstruction tax. Posted by: Eromero at February 12, 2016 05:49 AM (zLDYs) 469

Oh yeah, the .380 caliber wound guy? He was sitting up answering my questions in a couple hours.

Strange, isn't it, how these kind of stories about pit bulls keep popping up.
Posted by: GnuBreed -------------- I haven't seen or read one in years, but used to see them a lot. Since back when I used to hate pits for this very reason. (Pit Bull Eats Baby!) Since then, I've actually met a few pits, and I have never seen anything but the most gentle, patient creatures on earth... Posted by: Chi at February 12, 2016 05:58 AM (OUpHg) 473
Blubber, what can't it do?

Mind you, Dingo eatings can be pretty nasty... Posted by: Moron Delux ---------- Yeah. I find them to be kind of gamey, myself. Frank's Red Hot helps a bit. Posted by: Chi at February 12, 2016 06:18 AM (OUpHg) 476

Posted by: Chi at February 12, 2016 05:58 AM (OUpHg) Mornin' Chi. Except for cases of genetics or medical, most vicious pit bulls are the result of vicious owners. It's easy to train a dog to be mean, but it takes more time and especially patience to train a dog to be good or nice. While I think there have been cases of pit bulls attacking people, I think the stories overall were the media going for the breathless hype (think Goatherder Smith and the Superdome during Katrina). I'm sure other breeds attack people, too, like German shepherds, rotties and the like, but those stories just aren't as 'sexy'. Can you imagine getting attacked by an angry St. Bernard? I was 'attacked' by a friendly one and was just about knocked on my ass when he jumped on me, putting his oversized paws on my shoulders and licking me face to face.

Yeah, Rick (g'mornin),
I remember a few years back, all the stories of local pits chewing on people. After I actually spent time around a few that were loved & cared for, I thought "hmm. How many poodles have taken a chunk out of the mailman in the last year?" My 15 lb min-pin is more aggressive than the last 4 pits I've been in contact with. And I know what you mean about "being attacked." I used to house-sit for an ex's brother quite often. His 100 lb pit was a big sloppy sissy. Ugly as homemade soup, with a head the size of a basketball, but pure putty in your hands. She would knock me over the second she saw me, then proceed to attempt to drown me in slobber.

That comment of the day is kind of vapid, and misses tbe point.

Germany's "or else" days with Poland are over. Poland is, arguably, a stronger military. On paper Germany has more troops and armor, but the reality is well reported - the formerly powerful Bundeswehr is under-trained, under-maintained, and has very low morale. Global Power currently shows them as having less than 450 MBT's, even though they claim to have over 2,000. They probably do, with 1,500 of them being used for parts and such at this point.
Poland, on the other hand, has a well trained and well maintained army. The lessons of the past aren't lost on them. If Poland can get an Air Force she'll be the only serious military power left in eastern Europe. Only Britain or France would compare. "Or else..." Yeah, go ahead, Angela. If there is one nation that Poland would like to meet mano a mano, it's probably yours. Posted by: RobM1981 at February 12, 2016 09:13 AM (zurJC) 481
365 US prisons are finishing schools for criminally able students or criminal professoriates for the experts among the worst elements of society. The imprisoned peons without criminal potential find themselves homosexually raped and otherwise assaulted. Recidivism is the rule for all, either way, because there is no honest or decent life available to most of them upon release. If you want to stop this, either implement all solitary confinement all the time or only allow the peons without criminal potential (if you can identify them) to socialize in prison. Posted by: Ceteris Paribus at February 12, 2016 01:24 AM (lQqJB) Prison is a soft-pedaled eugenics program - one of its main purposes and functions is to slow the rate of growth of the criminal class, by preventing inmates from breeding offspring during the term of their confinement. The worst offenders are required to spend their entire sexually-active years away from fertile females. The penal system ought to be openly recognized and operated as an overt eugenics program -- e.g., allow the non-violent ones to be released if they agree to some sort of temporarily or permanent sterilization.
