Overnight Open Thread (5-4-2016) - See y'all in June Edition
Quote of the Day - Time Machine Owner Edition
I don't rely on time. Time is what man made for our convenience, and in reality, it does not exist.
-- Yoko Ono, April 25, 2016
Department of Justice Declares War on North Carolina
To exactly no one's surprise, the Obama Department of Justice has sent a letter to North Carolina governor Pat McRory demanding that that the state "not comply with or enforce H.B. 2" - it's so-called transgender bathroom law. The reason? The DOJ claims that it violates Title VII, a statute that doesn't reference sexual orientation or gender identity at all - a statute that the Obama administration and various activist courts have purported to lawlessly expand entirely by executive and judicial fiat.
Kuwait Airways Stops Inter-European Flights Rather Than Accept Israeli Passengers
How Michelle Obama F*cked Up School Lunches
When first lady Michelle Obama championed rewriting the old school lunch menus along new and improved nutritional guidelines, the idea was to limit portion size and increase kids' consumption of fruits and vegetables. To encourage school districts to participate in the program, the government increased the amount it would reimburse schools per meal and increased, as well, the number of children eligible for reduced-price and free lunches. The reimbursements were offered as a way schools could offset the cost of the new and more expensive menus. But once those reimbursements are built into their budgets, schools are that much more bound by federal mandates, because they can't risk losing the subsidies.And so the mandates get even more onerous. In 2014, the USDA enacted "Smart Snacks in Schools" rules that set nutrition guidelines for any foods offered at school-whether part of the lunch program or not. The rules specified breads be at least half whole-grain. Fat could account for no more than 35 percent of calories. And there are limits on calories, along with restrictions on salt and sugars.
The trouble with the mandates isn't that schools have trouble making the meals, but the fact that kids don't like them very much.
And reimbursements can't make up for the fact that kids are choosing to skip lunch rather than eat the new mandated meals.

Nothing Lasts Like Temporary Protected Status
The TPS amnesty for 200,000 Salvadoran illegals after a 2001 earthquake has been routinely renewed. The TPS amnesty for 60,000 Hondurans and Nicaraguans following Hurricane Mitch in 1998 has also been routinely renewed. Liberians were the first to benefit from TPS after Congress enacted the law in 1990 (to rein in unilateral executive actions) - and they're still here. The TPS amnesty because of Ebola in West Africa was just extended despite the fact that the Ebola outbreak is now over. No one has ever been made to leave the country because his TPS amnesty expired.

Female Jihadi Taken Down With Poison Arrow
Authorities in northern Cameroon say a local self-defense group used a poisoned arrow to kill a woman with explosives strapped to her body.Midjiyawa Bakary, the governor of Cameroon's Far North region, said Wednesday that the 40-year-old woman had crossed over from neighboring Nigeria along with a 14-year-old girl.
Local residents shot the poisoned arrow at the woman after she failed to stop as demanded. The girl also died when she detonated her own explosives.
Cass Sunstein: The World According to Star Wars

She has complained about Michelle's school lunch program for the past three years. It's caused the school to end a contract with one lunch supplier, and now mandates everything is to be cooked onsite.
That doesn't sound bad, except it mandates what must be cooked and served as the article states. According to the wife, they throw out incredible amounts of food that the kids will not eat. The district's food costs have skyrocketed, necessitating restructuring the cafeteria program, raising lunch fees, and reducing the work force.

Ricardo, she was not doing well in France. Sleeping a lot, had to go to the hospital and have the fluid drained from her lung. The other lung had a drain. She passed on the plane. They had to emergency land in Canada. Her father and brother are on their way to say goodbye.
I'm in shock.

Spectacular day, sunny, air cool. Beautiful setting. Only sounds when not pulling the trigger were the Coast Guard guys at the adjacent range (instructor was using a whistle, hadn't heard that before) and the Border Patrol chopper meandering in the near distance.
Wish I'd spent all day there. Aside from the boom-stick fun, a feeling of being away from things. And things, mostly, me no like these day.

Sure, but that doesn't affect her beauty ranking, which is a good, stable 7 1/2.
At the time that Friends first started Courtney Cox was much hotter than Aniston. Since then things have changed quite a bit for Cox but Aniston has stuck around a medium-well score.

There is a story that dates back 2000 years, to a time when rich men were routinely hauled before the Roman Emperor, accused of treason, and sentenced to death.....so that their forfeited estates could fill the Imperial treasury.
One man was hauled in, terrified, and was asked why he should be allowed to live. Stammering, looking about wildly, he spied Caesar's horse (which was standing in a corner of the audience chamber) -- and blurted out: "I am a man of great talents -- I could teach that horse to sing!"
Nonplussed, Caesar paused.....then chuckled, then laughed-out-loud. He called to his guards and told them to unbind the man, and give him the lead to the horse. He then declared that he would see this horse sing within the year or the man's life was forfeit.
As he passed out of the Imperial Palace, horse in tow, he was met by some friends. "What is wrong with you?", they said -- "you are now under a sentence of death. You know damned well that nobody has ever taught a horse to sing."
And the man replied, "my friends, there is a lot that can happen in a year. I could die naturally. Rome might fall. Caesar could die......or, the horse, it could sing!"
There is a lot that can happen between now and the convention; there is a lot that can happen between now and the election; there is a lot that can happen between now and the inauguration.....or Donald Trump might be a great President.

It's not "culture" that ever allowed affirmative action, in any form, to exist for a nano-second (it obviously never should have, being a definitional violation of both constitutional and mainstream normative "rules").
"Culture" didn't propel selective limited marriage redefinition - in fact "culture" mostly rejected it.
"Culture" didn't have anything to do with a single justice just making s**t up out of thin air on federal tax law, or statutory construction, to rescue an idiotic, facially unconstitutional law or to allow comically lawless administrative dictate to (briefly) keep the activities it mandated (barely) oxygenated.
All these things happened not because "culture", but because dissolution of constitutional standards, of judicial integrity, and the breakdown of the rule of law.
Culture doesn't matter one way or the other, for what was the US system, if the guardrails and integrity and responsible behavior (termed "virtue" in previous eras) are gone.

She isn't. But she's a perennial favorite of disgruntled women because she was dumped by Brad Pit for exotic beauty Angeline Jolie and her publicist really played that up for sympathy with women, giving her a career that was dying after Friends.
The answer is that nobody can match up with Janis Joplin.

Nowadays, CAIS would be detected early, likely in the womb with all the testing they do now. But in the old days, it wouldn't be detected until puberty. At birth, they appear to be normal girls, with a normal vulva.
The lack of a proper cervix could be detected but there's usually no reason to do that as infants and children. It will only become known at puberty. Well, the lack of puberty. And then investigating the cause of that would reveal it.
They have undescended testicles (there's nothing to descend into), no ovaries nor uterus. And nothing to make female hormones either, so estrogens must be given to complete female puberty. And the testicles removed as they will most likely become cancerous.

I never heard of her before. A quick check at YouTube makes me think she just does covers? She is a talented singer, but most of the stuff I tried was pretty slow.

Eva Cassidy was the greatest singer you never heard of. I saw a TV documentary about her several years ago and my jaw was on the floor. She was one of the true greats.
Here is her last public performance in 1996, about two months before she died of cancer:

Janis mastered the art of singing every syllable as if it had been wrung from her under torture. It's unusual and useful in certain circumstances, but is not a universal good. The woman who voiced GLaDOS is much more talented, overall.

There are many very talented singers but trained voices are always better. I remember when there was a minor fad of opera singers showing up on pop collaborations (I think it came from Andreas whateverhisnameis - the blind tenor - had such success with his album). When the opera singer started after the famous pop idol it was like night and day - no comparison in the voices.

Heh. A friend of mine, now passed away, worked behind enemy lines on Luzon. Well, actually there were no lines, because this was prior to the invasion. At any rate, his comment was, "We did not take prisoners, there was nothing that we could do with them".
Hell of a guy:
"When we returned to the American sector with the 6th Army Special Intelligence I had a new mission- General Romulo's wife and son were left on the island behind enemy lines.
The guerillas had built an airstrip where a cub plane could land. We set up signals and were able to evacuate the son, wife, and brother. There was no room for me- I had to walk out. It took six or seven days and I traveled at night. "

This was the first mass killing of the Marines on Guadalcanal. We were shocked. Shocked ... because headquarters had believed anything a Jap had to say ... The loss of this patrol and the particularly cruel way in which they had met death, hardened our hearts toward the Japanese. The idea of taking prisoners was swept from our minds.

Heh. A friend of mine, now passed away, worked behind enemy lines on Luzon. Well, actually there were no lines, because this was prior to the invasion. At any rate, his comment was, "We did not take prisoners, there was nothing that we could do with them".
Hell of a guy:
"When we returned to the American sector with the 6th Army Special Intelligence I had a new mission- General Romulo's wife and son were left on the island behind enemy lines.
The guerillas had built an airstrip where a cub plane could land. We set up signals and were able to evacuate the son, wife, and brother. There was no room for me- I had to walk out. It took six or seven days and I traveled at night. "

Gen. Vandegrift noted in the aftermath the treacherous behavior of some Japanese soldiers when Marines moved to take them prisoner. That he had never seen or heard of such behavior.
Yet histories have been written that - absurdly - attempt to argue that the ferocity of Marines in the Pacific was due to ..... wait for it ..... racism!

Racism was obviously an issue in the US (though even *then*, in comparison to all of human history and most of the planet at the time, it was mild), and the more cold-blooded elements of racism played a part in US under-estimates of Japanese capabilities pre-Pearl Harbor, but there is obvious, concrete evidence that the ferocity of much of the ground war in the Pacific from the US side evolved directly from Japanese behavior, not "racism".

And the Japanese weren't wrong in this, either. Outside of America kicking their asses, the Japanese had beaten the living shit out of the rest of the Orientals (and then some).
There's nothing wrong with a society or group or family or whatever thinking they are superior. It's only a problem when they're really not. But every group has the right to think that it's the best and the modern lefty (and somewhat righty, now, too) idea that there's anything wrong with that is insane.

And though obviously the total record from 1937 onward is debated, in the early stages a young Hirohito was distrusted by the militarists, as he had shown dangerously western and reasonable attitudes.
But it's funny, in a dark way, to see the absurd gymnastics and self-beclowning lengths to which the moral equivalence fanatics will go to soften the focus. The first 80 or so pages of the book "Flyboys" (by the author of Flags of Our Fathers, the son of the last flag-raiser to pass away) stands out as a pretty breath-taking example.
Japan wanted oil and status, but there was a comprehensive ideology behind their expansion was as racist and looney tunes as anything the guy with the little moustache dreamed up over in Europe at the time. Japanese behavior somewhat flowed directly from this, so ignoring it is a pretty audacious attempt at distortion, even for the self-hating freaks of distortion.

But with that ..... off to continue "Conquering Tide" about the Pacific War in 1942-44. Finished with the "night of the battleships" at Guadalcanal last night (Oct. 15, 1942). Which reminds me: have to rattle the cage of an older friend who *volunteered* to go join a Marine squadron at The Canal when they called for replacements after the devastation of the battleship attack. We haven't seen him in a while and I'm considering every meeting a treasure, given the march of time.

Absolutely. The Japanese almost demanded such treatment ... and they certainly earned it.

Posted by: rhomboid at May 05, 2016 02:45 AM (QDnY+)
But it wasn't anything about Japanese "racism" that did this. It was more about Japanese culture and their own treatment of captures/prisoners, but that had little to do with any "racism" since the Japs were just as brutal their own when things went that way. Individual life was very cheap in Japanese culture.
It is only the uncompromising and merciless way we fought the japanese that allowed to finally surrender. If we had fought them with one hand tied behind our backs (as we have fought SINCE WWII) then the Japs would never have been able to surrender while saving face. They would have had to fight to very last child. Our firebombing and nuking Japanese cities was the only way that the Japs were even able to save themselves. ANything less than that and the Japs would have felt compelled to fight on and on and on.

A North Carolina law limiting protections to LGBT people violates federal civil rights laws and can't be enforced, the U.S. Justice Department said Wednesday, putting the state on notice that it is in danger of being sued and losing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding.
And it looks like AP hasn't even read the law or is simply doing their normal liberal crap and lying about it. The law does not limit gay rights at all unless there is some hidden right that says men can use women's bathrooms. As I say yesterday, if I was the Governor of NC I would tell Obama and his corrupt AG to piss up a rope and two can play at the game of withholding money. He can freeze all payments from NC to the federal government which would most likely amount to billions.
My copy of the Constitution says the federal government has zero authority to dictate bathroom policy to the States and contrary to the lying assholes in the corrupt Obamanite regime, the Civil Rights act has NOTHING in that makes gays protected specie. But they have been trying to get it in there since 1975 and congress has rightfully opposed this, even when Democrats had control.

With Donald Trump now the certain nominee, Republicans have managed to pick the least reliably conservative candidate out of a field that started with some of the most experienced, dedicated and successful conservatives ever to have thrown their hats into the ring. And they've done so largely because the GOP establishment kept dropping the ball on conservative priorities. Go figure.
At least they are placing the blame squarely where it belongs. Except they do not list the prime reason conservatives rarely get the Republican nomination.

He responded, No, and Im actually looking at that, because Im very different from most Republicans. I mean, you have to have something that you can live on, but what I'm really looking to do, is get people great jobs so they make much more money than that, so they make much money, more money than the $15. Now, if you start playing around too much with the lower level, the lower level number, you're not going to be competitive.
Basically he says yes then no, classic BS answer the press let him get away with.
When asked what he would recommend as a federal minimum wage, Trump stated, Im looking at it.
That sounds to me like if he hasnt already caved he is just about ready to.

I didn't vote for either of them in my primary, (PA). Cruz lost me with his Obamatrade boosterism, and Trump lost me because he's just weird. But he's the nominee, unless the GOPe has more tricks up his sleeve, and he'll get my vote in November.
The media, being the media, and in the tank for Hillary anyway, have been throwing gotcha questions at the man since day one...we should all know this, it's the same trick they pull every time....and so far, it won him the nominee, so maybe people are catching on.

Did you see the part where he said he had no problem with a $15/hr min wage?
510 Now that idiot Trump is talking about minimum wage??? A real conservative would say, "it's not the governments job to make wage levels in private businesses. Period."
You'd think as a businessman he's know that.
Pure (ish) conservatism ran for office in the form of Ted Cruz.
It couldn't get past the primaries.
Our nation basically consists of Wal Martians who exist for their own pleasure, their own interests and their own selfish, piggish desires. They want it now and they want it 'free'.
Conservatism can't win with that mindset. It is wrong to say that there are no patriots left. But we are the shrinking minority.
Hate him personally all you want but what he is doing is purely pragmetic. He is not a businessman right now. He is a politician.
What Trump is doing is rhetorically similar to what every candidate does did in order to win.
"Do you support x or y?"
"I support x and y and whatever people who might vote for me want."
He is not playing to you. Or anybody like you.
Why? Because you are already in the bag. Or you're not.
He can't take giant dump on the minimum wage without losing the votes of at least some percentage of Bernie's more libertarian disaffected millenials.
It's a helluva a lot smarter than , oh I don't know, getting branded as the guy who wants to destroy tampons?

From what I understand, gas taxes are collected by the individual businesses themselves and then transmitted directly to the feds, without the state government getting involved at all. I don't know how the states could stop that. Pass a law making the state governments the middlemen for all federal tax revenue, and then let the states use tax revenue to the feds as a type of extortion, the same way the feds use funding as extortion on the states?

Dude, this is just a long spin attempting to justify the pandering of politicians.
I thought we used to believe around here, even among the pro-Trump segment, that Republicans should not engage in a bidding war with Democrats about how much free shit to give away, because the Democrats will always win that bidding war. Now you are saying "oh sure, if Joe Sixpack wants free shit, the Republicans should totally pander to him, because they aren't going to get his vote otherwise"?

It's amazing how one person can be so arrogant that they believe that
their own slanted viewpoint represents the opinion of millions.

If you're referring to me, I have never claimed to speak for others, I only speak for myself.
