Mid-Morning Open Thread
The Lute Player
Theodor Rombouts
Lute players were often ridiculed for the inordinate amount of time they devoted to tuning their instruments. The intense look of this street musician seems to underscore the difficulty of the task and suggest that perhaps more than musical harmony is at stake. Showing a musical instrument being tuned was a veiled reference to striving for harmony in love. Stringed instruments could also symbolize temperance, especially when shown in the company of a tankard and a pipe, as here.There is no truth to the rumor that Garrett was the model for this work.

Does no one remember what kind of president Kennedy actually was? He wasn't that well regarded at the time. He had the Bay of Pigs staining just about everything.
Then he gets murdered, and suddenly no one can remember voting against him in 1960. Democrats destroy Republicans in 1964.
If Democrats want to guarantee the Mike Pence gets voted as president in 2020, they'll try to knock off Trump.

He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken.
To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away,

His head smashed in and his heart cut out,

And his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off,

Mistake number one.
If any so-called "conservative" is idiotic enough to appear on The View, it should be only to look Whoopi Goldberg straight in her fat, puffy face and say, "you were the brain-dead clown who thought a president John McCain would bring back slavery. Not only should no one destroy their brain cells by paying you the slightest bit of attention, but for your own safety, you shouldn't be allowed to handle anything sharper than a rubber ball."

I watched it. The pacing is poor and the action is pretty weak compared to Daredevil. There is some unexpected character development toward the end, but overall I found the lead character to be a) uninteresting and b) not believable as a warrior monk. I think they rushed this one to production.

Aside from the obvious technical talent in this painting (look at the detail of the player and objects, you can almost feel the nap of the table cloth), Rombouts' palette is interesting. It is an indoor, dimly lit scene but not dark. The red of the table covering is relatively bright but it is a muted red not like a ruby in sunlight. The player's hat and clothing show the sheen of rich fabric and color but, again, muted by the indoor light. It's a delicate balance and Rombouts manages it effectively. And at that it is not as dark as some of his other tavern scenes.
I laughed at the player's facial expression. This guy is a showman, letting his audience see the effort needed to, finally, display his talents. Why, he's so serious he is ignoring his drink and smoke to get things just right. Maybe this is the Elizabethan era version of a warm up act.
This is a thoroughly enjoyable and impressive painting.

Actor John Rhys-Davies, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Lord of the Rings, has left the reservation:
"Western Christian civilization, of which you're a part, is one of the great glories of mankind. These are the things we stand for. We stand for liberty, liberty of association, freedom of speech. We stand for the equality of everyone in our society before the law, men as well as women. We could make a list of all the things. But let's get back to respecting these things. These are the glories of our ancestors. These are what thousands of our ancestors died to protect and preserve. And if we allow those things to go because we are afraid of being politically incorrect, or of hurting somebody by suggesting that perhaps their value system may not be quite as nice as ours, then we are fools, and ultimately, scoundrels."
I could think of a better word than "scoundrel".

I'm into volume 3 (The War Years, Volume 1) of Carl Sandburg's 6 volume biography of Abraham Lincoln.
It just might be my favorite biography I've ever read. It's dense, but with a purpose. When he went off on a 10-15 page tangent to describe the life and ideology of Charles Sumner, it was purposeful and useful to the overall narrative of Lincoln's life and presidency.

He had this to say about islamic immigration back in 2004:
"There is a demographic catastrophe happening in Europe that nobody wants to talk about, that we daren't bring up because we are so cagey about not offending people racially. And rightly we should be. But there is a cultural thing as well. By 2020, 50 per cent of the children in Holland under the age of 18 will be of Muslim descent"
He grew up in islamic Africa (his father was in the Colonial Office), so he has first hand knowledge about life under islam.

16th century sailing vessels
Protagonist having no idea why he's there
Plopped at a facility with other people in a similar situation, all the ships forming a barrier to the bay where the facility is located
Kept isolated, talk of integrating them into a new society
Protagonist begins to be convinced that he's in 16th century
Manages to sneak out of the facility right as they're closing the doors
Sees tripods killing individuals who are making a run for it
Protagonist sneaks back in with knowledge of real world
*alarms goes off and I must go to work now*

Lutes are made almost entirely of wood. The soundboard is a teardrop-shaped thin flat plate of resonant wood ( typically spruce ). In all lutes the soundboard has a single ( sometimes triple) decorated sound hole under the strings called the rose.

This is the only part of the description, that I'm buying. That lute fisk is scared of something.
My first thought is that he doesn't even play lute and he's been caught at something. "Oh, don't mind me, m'lord, I'm just here to play the flute. Totally not banging your wife".
Except he has the look of a habitual drunkard and not some suave Paolo.

Pete Hoekstra was on FBN saying that this hearing is counterproductive and a serious breach of what the committees duties and modus operendi. This committee normally works completely in secret so that serious , intelligent discussions and release of information can be exchanged that is classified and to remove the political crap as much as possible out of it's meetings.
He said this public hearing is nothing more than a political witch hunt for the Democrats, most of the actual quality information the committee should be discussing will not be able to be brought in for security reasons and the entire thing is a waste of time.
