Update [OregonMuse]
Reason #4,237 why people should vote for conservative candidates: According to studies, we're better looking. That's right, the science is settled:A recently published study in the Journal of Public Economics concludes that the attractiveness of a candidate does correlate with their politics. They find that politicians on the right are more good looking in Europe, the United States and Australia.
The study shows correlation, not causation, but the researchers float a simple economic explanation for why this might happen. Numerous studies have shown that good-looking people are likely to earn more, and that people who earn more are typically more opposed to redistributive policies, like the progressive taxes and welfare programs favored by the left.

Reminds me of an old Doonesbury cartoon, back when it was occasionally funny.
BD is serving in Vietnam and gets captured by Phred, the VC terrorist, and both promptly get lost. After a few days, Phred tells BD that, while he appreciates their joint effort at survival, he knows what BD wants to say and encourages him to.
At which, BD yells, "You lousy Commie GOOK!"
"There, now," Phred smiles. "Don't you feel better?"

A pet peeve of mine (and yes this is just pointless drivel, me sounding off) is liberal/progressive/moonbat boiler plate that capitalism is bad. Or that they're "anti-capitalism" etc.
Do they even know what capitalism is? Do they realize they wouldn't have their precious iPhones without it? Or be able to shop in a Whole Foods with all its overpriced food and supplements? What? They think that without capitalism people would just decide to produce food, clothing and iPads, for no profit, out of the "goodness" of their progressive hearts? I would like a moonbat academic to explain to me his/her reasoning on being against capitalism.

It used to be possible, as told in this story of finding and repatriating a MIA Marine's remains from Vietnam --
http://preview.tinyurl.com/ksyjvwc
The parents of Lance Cpl. Merlin Allen of Bayfield, WI (my Dad's home town) formerly owned all of York Island, in Wisconsin's Apostle Island chain. When the National Park Service established the National Lakeshore there, the Allen's created a memorial for Merlin on a small portion of York Island, thereby taking it out of NPS control.
The story of how the feral gubmint ran roughshod over private property owners in the Apostle Islands -- including my paternal grandparents -- played a huge role in my becoming conservative. Particularly galling to me was how monied private property owners received preferential treatment over those who weren't as well off. Bastages, every last one of them.

Saddam Hussein was perhaps the largest mass murder still in political power in 2003. I seem to recall the argument from the left was that was no justification for removing him from power.
Qaddafi was a murder and a tyrant, but a pretty run of the mill one. And he had cooperated with the west in regards to his WMDs and Salafism after seeing what happened to Saddam Hussein.
America would have been more justified in toppling the Castro brothers then it was with Qaddafi...

I used to agree with that sentiment but watching how Libya (and Iraq) have fared without a strongman makes me seriously consider otherwise.
Maybe those societies need a strongman dictator to keep the populace from killing each other and turning into a terrorist's safe haven. The rub is you have to ensure the dictator doesn't go too far.
Frankly, after giving up WMDs (thanks to W) and getting out of the international terrorism game, Qadaffi was pretty much harmless, at least in the international arena.
Now Libya is a first-rate failed state shithole. Thanks, Obama.

I will say this about the original 1960s hippies.
A substantial contingent of them, in the 1970s, became part of the "back to the land" movement, to include setting up socialist agricultural communes.
The majority of these ventures flamed out horribly in a flurry of recriminations, due to collectivism amplifying people's natural laziness and incompetence. Scurrying back to the cities they went. To get haircuts, doff the denim and tie-dye, and work at capitalist businesses.
It's not too hard to connect the dots between that hard generational learning experience and the later rise of the New Right, including Ronald Reagan.
Would that more of today's special snowflake generation were heading out to the boonies to try their hands at farming together. Hell, we should subsidize it.

Obama was lauded and will continue to be worshipped by the MFM, no matter what he does or what comes out that he did during his time in office. He will NEVER suffer any lampooning by late night hosts or stand up comics. The worst jokes will be a gentle jab or two at King Putt.
Trump has been in office a short while and a standup comic industry to ridicule Trump has already taken shape.

The despicable Harry Reid stood on the floor of the Senate and deliberately lied about Mitt Romney's tax returns. When confronted, he merely smirked, "It worked." That bastard should never have been allowed to leave the Senate floor under his own power.
My point is that assholes like McStain and Graham and every other ambulatory shitstain in congress are free to lie, slander and libel in ways that would get their teeth punched down their throats in public. That needs to end.

Historians will do whatever they can to keep Obama's image clean.
But, I think we may be looking at another example of a Hoover. Partisans on Hoover's side continue to defend him while no one else will.
Earlier in Obama's presidency, I was predicting a Wilson where only the partisans on the other side of Wilson continue to dislike him while everyone else has at worst gauzy nice feelings towards him. Obama's presidency, however, was so bad, that I doubt he'll be able to reach that.

It's a generality, but if you were to ask some middle of the road American who actually knows Hoover's name what they thought of Hoover, it'll be associated with "Great Depression" and nothing else.

Nobody should be roughed up like that. You're trapped in a sealed tube with armed Airport Cops that have a license to do whatever the fuck they want (which is obvious from watching the video.) And if you resist you get beaten and maybe jailed. That's what pisses me off about it. Some MF'ers throw you to the ground and you can't throw a single punch or so anything else to defend yourself.

According to this, United asked for one person to volunteer off and then after the plane was boarded said that four other people had to get off to make way for a United flight crew that had to be in Louisville for a morning flight. Initial offer was $400 and a flight at 3:00 p.m. the next day and then $800 and no takers.
Then a manager said the plane will not take off until those four people were seated and the computer would pick at random. A couple was chosen first, which seems really damn fishy for a "random" event unless one got picked and they saw that and picked the other person too and they got off and then the doctor was picked.
You do need to read the article to see what happened next.
So. Did you know that if an airline decides that it has to get its flight crew there, you can be dragged kicking and screaming off the flight? Because I didn't.
Oh and United is reaching out to this passenger to discuss the situation with him which is not even code for omfg settle this right NOW.

I still expect revelations that the Obamans methodically and illegally spied on all sorts of folks. This may take years to fully play out. There are other shoes which can fall.
On the other side of the ledger, Obama has nothing. In time, how can you defend ObamaCare? What else does have? A trillion in debt, and dick to show for it. Women and blacks hardest hit

Not quite sure how that will work.
SUNY has over a 1.5 million people enrolled.
Let's say, for giggles, that 750,000 in SUNY (just SUNY, not all the other public colleges in the state) are from families the are eligible.
The current cost to live on campus at SUNY is $20,000 (not sure if that is per semester or per year.)
My calculator says that comes to 15, 000,000,000. Per year.
They say it will only cost 163 million.

According to this, United asked for one person to volunteer off and then
after the plane was boarded said that four other people had to get off
to make way for a United flight crew that had to be in Louisville for a
morning flight. Initial offer was $400 and a flight at 3:00 p.m. the
next day and then $800 and no takers.
Nothing justifies physical force against someone for the crime of being a paid passenger who already boarded.
And remember all of the bullshit about luggage being on an airplane
when the passenger doesn't board? Are we supposed to believe that they
opened the cargo bays and fished his shit out? Or did they just ignore a

Posted by: Blue Hen at April 10, 2017 01:14 PM (326rv)
A careful review of the TCs of the plane ticket will no doubt find a clause where one can be removed from a flight at United's discretion. Doesn't excuse the method in which it was done, but I'd put $100 it is in there.
The 4 crew they were making room for, do we know if they were employees flying for free or were they crew being re-deployed to another flight?

Third, if he had luggage, were they going to fish it out? Or leave it there in hopes that he'll eventually catch up to it? Which means he may have nothing with him.

They were overbooked, made an offer, 400-800 dollars and got four takers. Then boarded the flight. Then - they needed four more seats for a deadheading aircrew. Made the offer, go no takers, and went with a random decimation tactic.

They could have kept upping the offer until someone volunteered, they could have deplaned and bumped four, they could have put the flight crew on another flight, a shuttle bus, or charter flight ...; but, they can't send the cops in to yank someone out of their seat for their convenience.

This is why I fly Southwest. I know exactly what I'm getting, and I know up front it's no frills. I happily pay the extra for the early boarding.
The last time I flew United it was for work - was forced to book them because their flight was "cheaper." No, it was not cheaper when I had to drop extra money when checking in to get things that used to be part of the ticket price - extra costs for things like checked luggage, more that a little person's portion of leg room, being able to board before the last group, and so on. Felt violated at all the ways they nickeled and dimed passengers at the airport.

Thats why I fly either Southwest or JetBlue. First, I feel they treat their passengers better and second -if I'm going to get maltreated I'm doing it for less cost than what I would have paid United/etc.

Per airline interpretations, the FAA regs mean that if a passenger does not do exactly what the flight crew says with additional immediate ball/mish licking with or without eye contact at the flight crew's discretion, then the airline can have the passenger kicked off the flight.
There's good reason for saying that once you are on the plane, the flight crew has nigh to utter discretion in handling the passengers since they are not just flying waiters/waitresses. But nigh to unlimited doesn't mean unlimited.
United fucked up the overbooking, fucked up in realizing four more seats were needed for crew, fucked up in not upping the ante and then fucked up by getting security to haul the guy off physically.

The airlines hold the impromptu auctions to avoid that very thing. It rarely doesn't work.
In this case ... that flight was worth about $200 bucks. With four hour delay ... they hit $800 and stopped because that was max penalty by law.

When I was in college, my dad booked me on flights he knew would be the most likely to be overbooked because when I was coming home for vacation times because it didn't matter if I was a day late. I got bumped three times on one leg of a trip and wound up with a total of four tickets because on the last time I just wanted to get home and no one else would go and when they upped the money to $300 bucks and two round trip tickets, suddenly I didn't need to get home that badly.

... Doc was flying United - so surely out of O'Hare. Anything with a uniform there - ticketing, TSA, parking - tends to exude "I'm a dick and you will respect my authori-tah". Much easier to deal with Midway.
I suspect Mgmt. - and avoid O'Hare.

Afghanistan and Turkey and for that matter Egypt and other states in the Nasser days and so on...whatever their position may have been re the West, they certainly regarded them as the 'strong horse' and so you had Western clothes and Western attitudes.
At least in the urban areas. The back-countries were often still weirdie-beardie goat-country.

Although USA recognizing Spratly (what they used to call it?) as Chinese would be a swell deal in exchange for China cutting off the Norks and letting them topple, I do hope we still hold the Trump Card (pun intended), namely, USA market access.

They don't want him in power, but I'd be pretty surprised if they straight-up took him out. Dealing with DPRK refugees and trying to bring the country up to, say 1970s standards of infrastructure would take a lot of money and make reintegrating East and West Germany look like... um... a thing that looks easy by comparison.

I'm not OK with it, but the Provo IRA was a response to the Northern Protestants and Brits suppressing a peaceful justified civil rights movement. The quasi-documentary Bloody Sunday illustrates this.

China's cooperation in killing Phat Boi might have nothing to do with further concessions by the west. China has to be very concerned about open nuclearization of South Korea and Japan.
China has been buying up the western United States for the last 20 years and they might not want fat boy shooting missiles at it.
