So we culturally appropriated Mexican food because we beat them in a war, and we culturally appropriated Vietnamese food even though we lost to them in a war.
America! Fuck Yeah! We appreciate good food above all, apparently. Posted by: rickl at May 12, 2016 10:45 PM (sdi6R) 63
If you want to fully guard your culture from "appropriation", maybe, just maybe, you should go back to where your culture originated and leave us rational people alone while we "appreciate" your culture's best aspects!

I know 'momoiro' means pink, but I'm too literal - it technically translates to 'peach color,' since that's what 'momo' and 'iro' mean. Though you can also just say 'pinku.'

I've only had pho once. I stopped in a local pho restaurant after work. I wanted to get home and drink a beer, so I ordered it to go.
I have never seen such an intricately packaged takeout meal in my life. All the ingredients were packed separately. It was a real work of art. Unfortunately, I had no idea how I was supposed to combine them. I did the best I could. I suppose I should go back there and sit at a table and order it, so I can see what it is supposed to look and taste like. Posted by: rickl at May 12, 2016 10:57 PM (sdi6R) 113
Some other colors in Japanese follow that form, and most have alternative names that are taken from English:
Hai-iro (ash color) or Gu-ray for Gray Daidai-iro (orange color) or Orenji for Orange There's also cha-iro (tea color) for Brown, but I don't think that has an alternative name. Posted by: broseidon king of the brocean at May 12, 2016 10:57 PM (kumBu) 114

Frankfort school doesn't care. It just wants to destroy anything that does not lead to socialism and statism they and their friends control.
However, I always thought "cultural appropriation" meant, "declaring things appropriate for my culture" as in using 550 cord for making slings, instead of twisting up inner tree bark like those savages with bones through their noses. I mean, yeah, we used to do it that way, but now we have Dow-Corning and CSR. Posted by: Kindltot at May 12, 2016 11:00 PM (ry34m) 121

Still in residential treatment. Still trying to find mess that help without intolerable side effects. She now claims to hear voices that tell her to kill herself, or they'll kill everyone else. The voices especially hate Mrs. Crank, funny, that. Children's services has gone back on prior promises and told us we have to take back a lying, homicidal teenager back in the house or else file a judgment against us that we are unfit. They do not seem concerned that another child, my son, would be put at risk by her return. However--our attorney may have an out for us. Since we have legal custody but not guardianship, we may actually be able to tell DCFS to go pound sand and relinquish her to the county or state without consequence. Hoping to hear about that soon.

Pho is awesome (I ran into a place called "What the Pho"). But it's not the only "noodles in soup" out there. There's a Cantonese version with thin wheat noodles, that are supposed to have a definite bite to them, and little wontons in there with shrimp in them. As with Pho, the broth has to be just right. One of the world's great cheap dishes, and almost unknown in the U.S. But if you're ever in San Francisco, swing by a little hole in the wall called "Hon's Wun Tun House," and treat yourself to a bowl of the good stuff.
It's in Vancouver, too, but that one is not a hole in the wall, and they have great pot stickers. You can even get roast duck in with your noodles. Posted by: Splunge at May 12, 2016 11:05 PM (iMxBJ) Posted by: Ricardo Kill at May 12, 2016 11:05 PM (4DF3M) 145

When Leontine Price sang Verdi, or Grace Bumbry sang Richard Strauss, or Denyce Graves or Marian Anderson sang Gluck, or Paul Robeson performed Shakespeare, or Wynton Marsalis plays Bach: are *those* examples of cultural appropriation? No, of course not: these are great artists performing great works that are part of humanity's common cultural heritage. We are all the richer for it.
Granted, when a person of background A performs a work from background B, there are proprieties to be observed; just as when one is a guest in another's home. But as long as the work is performed with respect and dignity, it can and should be done by *anyone* with the talent to do it. "Cultural appropriation" = leftists being assholes. Yet again.

Good thing I went over, the Asian woman who handed me my order said (her English isn't great) "last day." I asked, what? "Last day, we close." Uh oh. Thankfully the manager was right there. He said they're closing for a remodel but will be open again in a few weeks. I said okay, glad I came before you closed. In fairness the restaurant itself *needs* a makeover, it still looks like 1981, and the whole mini-mall they're in is kind of run down. Not sure if they meant the whole strip is closing or just them.

@147 I recall a documentary on FDR a few years back where they basically admitted that he screwed around and Eleanor was a lesbian. Seems like it took about 30 years for people close to JFK to really openly acknowledge what a dog he was.
-------------------- They made a movie about FDR's screwing around a few years ago. A comedy, I think. Can't remember the name of it off the top of my head, and I don't think it did well at the box office (didn't see it myself). IIRC, it's based around a historical meeting that FDR had with another foreign leader, and the PoV character is the woman that FDR was screwing at the time (who he takes to the meeting).

And a sushi bar is a good place to get it for the first time. It's cooked, and they brush a dark, sweet sauce on it. I don't know how it would even be possible not to like it.

Apple pie, medium rare steak, and lemonade (perhaps with a touch of something alcoholic) or just a good cold beer.
Kimchee is vile, lutefisk is vile, and that nasty stuff the Natives up here make by burying birds for the summer is also vile. And don't even get me started on "eskimo ice cream" which is whale blubber (or Crisco, these days) with snow and some blueberries. Greasy vile stuff. Sorry, but I grew up Americano and I tend to stick with it. Don't mind Mexican, but not habenero Mexican, and don't mind Italian, or even Cajun, but that other stuff? It is gross and it was probably considered gross in the country it came from. People ate things out of necessity, not because they were culinary experts.

-------------------- There've been a handful of stories about Hispanics throwing hissy fits about some form of appropriation (usually, a predominantly white organization offering tacos, or something similar). Asians popped up recently because of the amusing story about the student who was complaining that the university's cafeteria didn't cook a particular "Chinese" meal properly, not realizing that the meal in question was faux-Chinese created by Westerners.

The original beef about "cultural appropriation" was many decades ago, as regards American jazz music.
Bix Beiderbecke was accused of it for imitating Louis Armstrong (for which Bix freely admitted) and therefore no white man could play the jazz music ever again. But then we had Benny Goodman, Bill Evans, Paul Desmond, et al. The argument continues to this day. Posted by: navybrat at May 12, 2016 11:38 PM (8QGte) 317

There was a book a number of years ago called "The Dark Side of Camelot", if I'm not mistaken. The Kennedys were ALL disgusting bastards. It made sick me to the point that after I read the book I tossed it in the trash. The Kennedys were/are that awful as human beings, completely lacking in any kind of decency.

I know people who think there's no food in Heaven; I just have a hard time believing that. Food is one of the greatest pleasures God ever gave us.
That's nonsense. Our Lord specifically said "I will not drink it with you again until I drink it new with you in the kingdom." Now, that could have just meant "when I rise again and have a meal with you" but there's actually no reference to Jesus eating. Possibly the road to Emmaus, but it sounds more like he showed up, gave the blessing, and then was gone. Quite a few Psalms about eating and drinking in paradise as well. Particularly wine is mentioned.

what is spaetzle? Looks basically like hash browns to me
Spaetzle is essentially homemade egg noodles. You mix eggs, coarse flour, and salt together (the coarse flour makes the dough crumbly), roll out the dough on a cutting board in thin strips, and then scrape the strips off the board into boiling salted water. When the spaetzle are cooked, they rise to the surface. You skim them off the top of the water and put them aside until the sauerbraten, beef stew, or sausage is ready. Spaetzle are almost always served with a meat dish that has a lot of gravy. Interesting that you thought they look like hash browns-- I guess homemade spaetzle do look like that, though. You can buy commercial precooked spaetzle that look more like regular egg noodles. Posted by: Basement Cat at May 13, 2016 12:04 AM (3C9q2) 419

------------------- It typically revolves around two items. 1.) Issues with water, meaning that the alcohol was pretty much the only thing to drink for many people. 2.) The Bible does make a few negative comments about overdoing it with the alcohol. i.e. while there are no prohibitions against drinking alcohol, there are admonishments about having so much to drink that you make an idiot out of yourself. Personally, I suspect that there were a lot of weak wines, so you could drink more without getting plastered. And I also suspect that there wasn't a whole lot of "grape juice", since keeping the stuff from fermenting is a bit difficult without modern refrigeration.

In the ongoing saga of the Deconstructed Motorhome, today I messed with the rooftop air conditioner. Got the unit out of its case, and set up on two pieces of 4X4 on the ground. Put power to it. Fan came on, compressor didn't. Started disassembling the switch panels, making a wiring diagram and truth tables for the switches as I went.
Discovered that the temperature control was stuck in "heat" mode (the unit had a resistance heater in the lower plenum, which was missing). In "cool" mode, the temperature control was supposed to make a connection between the white line wire, and a yellow wire going to the motor control box. So I made up connections again, got the fans running, and touched the connector on the yellow wire to a bare terminal on the yellow wire. "Click", the compressor started, and the yellow wire flash-welded itself to the terminal. But the compressor kept running. And the fan was blowing cold. And was it ever blowing cold! I placed my fingers in the airstream beneath the unit for a quarter-minute, and it was all I could handle. They were about to freeze. I'm going to haul this puppy down to the casa in Arizona. Set it on a metal stand about a yard off the ground, and run ducts from the air-handler end to whichever room I want it to cool. Put the original plastic cover back on it to protect it from the elements. I took the cover off the thermostat, and was able to make it work again, but I will probably buy a new domestic-style A/C thermostat to use with it.

It needs no 12 volt power. 120 volts AC, calls for a 20-amp circuit. It was for cooling/heating the RV when hooked up to shore power. And I suppose you could run it off the Onan genset while rolling down the road, but it had engine-powered A/C, too. Which was devoid of refrigerant.

Astonished at the number of people who don't like pho or Vietnamese food. Of course there's a lot of variation in the quality and authenticity one finds. And, taste is individual.

When I say "food culture" I mean one where food - quality, variety, a distinctive cuisine - is actually a big part of the culture and life. Not mostly just fuel. And is of a quality that much of the world adopts parts of it once they've been exposed to it.
Vietnam. Mexico. France. Italy. China. Thailand. India. Vs. Russia, Ukraine. Much of central Europe. Much of central Asia. Most of sub-Saharan Africa. Actually, with some asterisks, much of central America and South America. Even the least exciting cuisines have a few solid dishes. But you'd be hard pressed to keep up the excitement past that.

Ah. Did the RV have a generator? That could be handy. Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at May 13, 2016 12:24 AM (RrDm2) Yeah, it had a 6kW Onan genset, with remote electric start, the whole deal. Gasoline-burning, of course. It was a funny deal. Vehicle was sitting on land owned by two brothers. It had been parked there 10 years ago, or more, by a friend of the brothers, who was hiding it from his wife in a messy divorce. Well, that became ancient history, and owner of the motorhome, when urged to come get it, said, "eh, the mice have been in it, it's ruined, take what you can get for it." So brother #1 is canvassing for people to come haul this thing off his land. I spoke up, and got the nod. Brother #2 says, "Hey, I want that genset out of it. I have a use for it." I said, "no problem, I already have one like it." So, time comes for me to haul the damn thing home. Go up there, on a chilly day, with some brake fluid to see if I could the brakes on the darn thing to work. No luck there. But I also crawl under the genset, uncouple pipes and wires, and prep it for removal. Brother #1 comes along on his quad, and hitches onto it, and drags it out of its slot, and it plops down onto an old tire I placed there to catch it. Slick as can be, and no damage at all. Several days later, I tell brother #2, "your genset is sitting up there on an old tire, and I will get you the control panel out of the RV in a few days." He then says, "you know, I was too hasty. I really don't need it. Go ahead and take it yourself." Brother #1 pipes up, "you know, that so-and-so **** never paid me any storage for that thing, for ten years. So give me a hundred bucks, and we're square." So I ended up giving him a C-note, and an extra Cat battery I had kicking around, and had little use for. I'm happy, and they are happy.

------------------------- I suspect that there are, actually. Young kids will occasionally make comments about wishing they were the opposite gender, not realizing exactly what that entails. If the kid has reasonable parents, then he or she gets chided, and the parents explain why that isn't the same as wanting to be a fireman. But if the kid has a couple of idiot SJWs for parents... End result is a kid who's completely gender-confused by the time he or she hits high school, and is in desperate need of psychiatric help instead of "supportive" adults.

Admission: I have TG friends both FTM and MTF. Frankly i am squeamish about encouraging a child in any of that. its a hell of a messed up difficult path. I'm ok if you are older and really tried to be whatever you were born as, trying to do something else. One of MY MTF friends i think had genetic issues from birth, and was really more intersex and he finally just decided just went with what he kind of looked like all along. The other two friends had a hand in saving my life on different occasions and in different ways. I know their history and they became FTM because of terrible things in each ones past and i am ok with it. If they used a men's room you wouldn't bat an eye, and they would use a stall.

---------------------- ? Ads in another language have been around for a *long* time. If we're talking online, then presumably a wire got crossed somewhere in the targeting, and someone thinks that you speak Spanish. If off-line, then they're aimed at a Spanish-speaking community near where you live. I sometimes get hit by a bunch of them on the website that handles one of my e-mail accounts. It's currently showing English-language ads, though. And given that I live in LA County, it's an odd day when I *don't* see a Spanish-language ad in the real world. Or Chinese-language.

The second fellow, not sure his name said, "The left agrees they want bigger government. They may not agree about how big it should be or how fast it should get there, but they all want to make the government bigger. On the right that is not the case. There are plenty of people on the right who are happy to expand government - who see a much more expansive role for it in some areas, and then there's the part that want s to drown it in the bathtub." - I don't agree that one side is unified and that the other isn't.

I'm assuming the speaker was a libertarian and putting things in a 'larger vs smaller gov't' perspective. IMO it's not that there are some on the right who deviate from a small gov't view and everyone on the left agrees about wanting a larger gov't. Most people are indifferent to the issue of 'bigger or smaller' and are focused on where they like less and where they like more. I think that's true on both sides.

There's no consensus on the left that 'bigger is better.' There's just a coalition where individual factions are granted gov't action on their priority. For most of those involved, if a coalition with smaller government overall were to offer more for their particular priority, then they would prefer the smaller gov't. The right may not be unified behind a small gov't ideology but the left isn't unified behind a large gov't ideology either. They're only united in being self-interested.

Good Morning Morons. Today is Friday, May 13, 2016 so look out for black cats and French Kings who want to burn you at the stake because he owes you money. On this day in 1960 hundreds of University of California, Berkeley students congregated for the first day of protest against a visit by the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Thirty-one students were arrested, and the Free Speech Movement was born. Actually the students who had pushed this through were members of an organization dedicated to doing away with capitalism (sound familiar). Yes, they were communists and it has since been learned that the campus unrest and anti-war protests of the 60s were financed by the Soviets though their Eastern Block subjugated countries.

For some actual insight into transgender madness wave, check out this article.
"Transgender" is a Mental Illness and Should be Treated as such: Former Johns Hopkins Chief Psychiatrist http://tinyurl.com/nu9gzew "While the Obama administration, Hollywood, and major media such asTime magazine promote transgenderism as normal," said Dr. McHugh, these "policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered by treating their confusions as a right in need of defending rather than as a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention." "This intensely felt sense of being transgendered constitutes a mental disorder in two respects. The first is that the idea of sex misalignment is simply mistaken-it does not correspond with physical reality. The second is that it can lead to grim psychological outcomes."

Repeat of that BS 4th circuit ruling post:
568 Before we move on to today's news I want to comment on the link and item that Y-NOT put in the sidebar concerning the attack on common sense bathroom laws. The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, which holds judicial sway over the Carolinas and four other states, ruled last month in a lawsuit filed by a Virginia transgender student that the federal government has the right to define discrimination as it sees fit. [Y-not] That was a direct quote from the Charlotte Observer which like all big city newspapers is a liberal rag that can not be trusted. It took me a while but I was able to find a pdf file of the written judgment of the court and the dissent. This was 69 pages long and that should give you a hint as to how the liberals buffaloed the court. I have noted during my long practice of following the courts that the longer a written judgment is the more likely it is to be made up BS. This one conforms to that quite well. Note that the appeal which caused this to make it to the 4th circuit was to the lower court ruling which denied the plaintiff an emergency stay of the local school regulations which required this person who was born as a female to use the female bathrooms and dressing rooms. The case was actually brought by that paragon of liberal destruction, the ACLU. The ruling is a long diatribe of conflicting statements all made in legal jargon to confound the average citizen. But you can boil it down to one thing; the Title IX law which the complaint was based on failed to define what sex means with regard to a male and a female. I suppose that the people who wrote that massively crappy law passed in 1972 assumed that was within the realm of historical common sense and when that POS law was written it was. But in the end, the majority of the court ruled that gender identity by the plaintiff controlled what sex the person was and despite the fact that they even referenced that the plaintiff had a mental illness: gender dysphoria, a medical condition characterized by clinically significant distress caused by an incongruence between a person's gender identity and the person's birth-assigned sex. They also openly admitted that Title IX permitted the common sense arrangement of separate facilities for males and females. But they disagreed with the lower court ruling denying a stay. They hinted all over the fact that if left to them they would have ruled that the schools should force the students to have coed bathrooms, dressing room, etc. But they did NOT rule that. They issued a three part order that was really nothing more than sending the case back to the lower court to reconsider its ruling. And I boil all of this down with one statement, the reporter who wrote that newspaper article is a liar. Nowhere in this ruling did it say that the federal government was allowed to define discrimination in any manner it sees fit. Sorry this got so long. If you wish to read this POS ruling you may find it by Binging C.G. v Gloucester County School Board. Now on to the news. Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at May 13, 2016 06:40 AM (vvmPQ) 699

Random thoughts:
--The Left knows we are moving towards a "post-jobs" economy, and is deliberately trying to blow up the system via illegal immigration and increased minimum wage to force us to go to a universal dole/guaranteed basic income. In this sense, it is the same dishonesty as ever. --My counter is that we should never pay people to just exist, for all that will happen is increased daytime TV ratings. As a counter--If you want money, go farm. Don't care how successful you are, you have to get a plot of land and farm, no matter how marginal. --That is the future. Today--illegal immigration hits the more physically-oriented worker. Jobs that Progressives do are not usually heavily impacted--else they would be less well supported in their calls for amnesty. In this regard then, the failure of the Federal Government to protect blue collar workers access to domestic jobs as well as they have white collar is a violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th., and is a legitimate grounds for the affected blue collar workers to not feel themselves bound by the social compact, the contract not having been kept on the Federal government's end. --the power of the purse is supposed to be used by a legislature to keep the executive in check, not by an executive to keep political opponents in check. What the administration is doing right now is, I feel, legitimate grounds for considering the social compact null and void. At some point, you have to have an expressed opinion of legislature to back you up, not an endless series of court opinions. It cannot be turtles all the way down; popular sovereignty demands the people bless it *before* it happens, not after, because you have worn them down. --Finally, a rebellion of some sort is fully justified, and people do not deserve a future say if they do not do so in some way. Progressives will be quite happy to just rule you. Really finally--right now, my one wish, if I could have one from a genie, would be to make the Disney company go bankrupt. I am tired of corporate bullies trying to veto legislatures, and nullifying the power of the people to set their own culture. We need to seriously change conditions of incorporation, and then we need to back up with guns the limits if the Progs continue to try to steer from behind.

Morning, 'rons and 'ronettes. Thanks for the news, Vic. Here's a quick W.C. Fields anecdote: Fields came up through show business the hard way, first as a juggler, then as a monologist and so on to the irascible, loquacious alcoholic misanthrope which became his final incarnation (and was, very much, the real man). As such, he knew what worked for his persona and what didn't, and he was very resistant to authors who thought they knew "W.C. Fields" better than he did. Fields was shooting a movie one day - no matter which one - and, to people's surprise, ended the day on a jovial note. When asked what made him so happy, Fields smiled, pointing to a scriptwriter sitting nearby. "This was a day to remember. I didn't say one word the sonofabitch wrote for me!" And since, when people think W.C. Fields, they also think Mae West, here's Mae in 1936s Go West, Young Man, where her co-star was - - wait for it - Randolph Scott: http://goo.gl/8wzCuq Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Here's the lobby card for West's 1933 She Done Him Wrong, the movie where she invited Cary Grant to "come up some time and see me:" http://goo.gl/YOPy5E A story concerning the poster has a producer at Paramount objecting to an ad which had a tagline about "lusty entertainment." When the producer complained, a press agent noted that the word "lusty" came from the German "lustliche," meaning "pleasure" or "joyful." "Listen," the producer snarled, "when I see that broad's tits, I don't need anybody to tell me what 'lusty' means!"

Clinton Cash; Scankles and Billy Bob have raked in $100M from Persian Gulf countries but no, its not an illegal campaign contribution or bribe. It is "charity" and will go unreported by the MFM.

Just heard on the radio the Obama regime is issuing a letter to all school boards in the country that federal law protects tranny bathroom rights and a loss of funding may occur to any school that does no comply. Oh, and that includes locker rooms.

"a loss of funding may occur"
That is just a cover story for school bureaucracy. Like they would cut funding to one of the biggest sources of political support for the Democratic Party. Posted by: huh? at May 13, 2016 07:52 AM (CRXed) 737

The GOPe is recklessly endangering its own majority by superfunding Barack Obamas radical agenda.
They gave Obama essentially a 250million dollar slush fund when the overfunded the bullshit Clearwater bill yesterday. 250 million is a lot of walking around money and is going to be used to try to steal the election and will also be diverted to fund things like refugee resettlement and other nefarious schemes of this lawless administration. The GOP is now an existential threat to our Country, our liberty and our very way of life. They must be destroyed.

E pluribus unum does not mean diverse people making one country. It means many states making one country. It was our motto when the country first formed, when states were prickly and the population was homogeneous.

While true on the surface I think you underestimate just how "diverse" culturally the United States already was. You had the New York(actual) Dutch You had the Pennsylvania(actually German) Dutch You had the Hugenots(Fwench) in South Carolina and North Carolina. You had the f*c*ing Irish well everywhere. You had the Scots in VA, NC, and NY. Now you're correct I guess that it was "homogenous" if you only count "skin color"....unless of course you count the Natives and Blacks we are constantly beaten about the head over rhetorically.
