Quote III The 'Machine politicians' have shown their colors . . . I feel sorry for the country however as it shows the power of partisan politicians who think of nothing higher than their own interests, and I feel for your future. We cannot stand so corrupt a government for any great length of time." Theodore Roosevelt, Sr. (1831 - 187, in a letter to his son, Theodore, Jr., December 16, 1877.h/t Isophorone Quote IV [T]here comes a point at which laughter begins to falter, under the simple, steady weight of events. As I’ve noted before, Trump’s record as a force of destruction is profound, whether it be the sabotage of Obamacare, the devastation of democratic norms, or the rattling of NATO. But as the months tick by, there’s a decent case that Trump’s proactive accomplishments are beginning to add up as well: a huge tax cut, two Supreme Court justices, wholesale deregulation, renegotiation of NAFTA, isolation of Iran, and a broader reboot of bilateral nationalism on the world stage. But I’m not talking merely about policy — he has also shifted the entire polity more decisively toward the authoritarian style of government. In this respect, yes, the Trump administration has indeed accomplished much more than many of us want to believe. Andrew Sullivan There will be math in tonight's ONT. The failure to understand statistics is explained. In 1999, an English solicitor named Sally Clark went on trial for the murder of her two infant sons. She claimed both succumbed to sudden infant death syndrome. An expert witness for the prosecution, Sir Roy Meadow, argued that the odds of SIDS claiming two children from such an affluent family were 1 in 73 million, likening it to the odds of backing an 80-1 horse in the Grand National four years in a row and winning every time. The jury convicted Clark to life in prison. But the Royal Statistical Society issued a statement after the verdict insisting that Meadow had erred in his calculation and that there was "no statistical basis" for his stated figure. Clark's conviction was overturned on appeal in January 2003, and the case has become a canonical example of the consequences of flawed statistical reasoning. Is a Pat Condell takes a look at Euro Trash. If it wasn't for the military, these whiny little bastards wouldn't be in the position they are. Last week, Google dropped its bid for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI), a massive military cloud computing contract potentially worth up to $10 billion, amid employee backlash and concern the project could violate their “AI principles.” Now an open letter claiming to be from an unspecified number of Microsoft employees is urging the Redmond, Washington-based tech giant to also back down from its own JEDI bid. In the letter, which was published on blogging site Medium, the employees wrote that they joined Microsoft with “the expectation that the technologies we build will not cause harm or human suffering.” They also accused Microsoft executives of betraying the company’s artificial intelligence principles—ones that state A.I. should be “fair, reliable and safe, private and secure, inclusive, transparent, and accountable”—in pursuit of “short-term profits.” If you think about it, Christmas isn't all that far away. A Christmas present suggestion for that liberal on your shopping list. In this brilliantly sensible and funny book, a Harvard-educated shrink and his comedy-writing daughter reveal that the real f-words in life are “feelings” and “fairness.” While most self-help books are about your feelings and fulfilling your wildest dreams, F*ck Feelings will show you how to find a new kind of freedom by getting your head out of your ass and yourself onto the right path toward realistic goals and feasible results.

Principal removed over Trump shirt controversy. A Harnett County high school principal has been replaced, a week after she asked a high school student to remove a jersey that bore President Donald Trump’s name on the back. The Harnett school system on Friday announced a new principal for Harnett Central High School. The district said the change is directly related to the actions taken by former Harnett Central Principal Cindy Gordon last week in asking the student not to wear the Trump shirt.It isn't Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day, but it was given serious consideration.

This was 30 minutes of from-the-gut yelling. Triggered by a small, thoughtless, dismissive, annoyed, patronizing comment. Really small. A micro-wave that triggered a hurricane. I blew. Hard and fast. And it terrified me. I’m still terrified by what I felt and what I said. I am almost 70 years old. I am a grandmother. Yet in that roiling moment, screaming at my husband as if he represented every clueless male on the planet (and I every angry woman of 201, I announced that I hate all men and wish all men were dead.

Officers were called to a home in Bristol, Tennessee, on June 28 and found Douglas Ferguson, 76, bleeding from his head and leg, according to a press release from the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office. A preliminary investigation indicated that he tried to attack his son with a running chainsaw while his son mowed the yard. His son, who was not identified, ran over his father with the lawn mower as a way to defend himself, the press release stated. Jarete Hucks has given away over $50,000 worth of goods and services.

On the radio today, I heard a clip of Bernie Sanders telling people that one-party rule is bad and if people want the government to represent them, not just represent the Rich, they need to elect Democrats.
Now, in my perception, the last two years is the best representation I've experienced in decades. Not only that, but after eight years of businesses closing in our community, we now have new construction all over the place, including road improvements. We also have a president who constantly demonstrates that he cares about the things that are important to us. I hope a lot of people can tell that Bernie is full of baloney.

They used to use horses to pull huge rollers down streets to compress the snow. Which is kind of ingenious when you think about it. That'll fuck up your wood timbered bridge pretty quickly.

an unspecified number of Microsoft employees is urging the Redmond, Washington--based tech giant to also back down from its own JEDI bid.
In the letter, which was published on blogging site Medium, the employees wrote that they joined Microsoft with "the expectation that the technologies we build will not cause harm or human suffering." You mean "human suffering" like ISIS beheading people, young girls being kidnapped by Muslims and forced into sex slavery? Go enjoy the life America has given you, you bunch of dummies. And praise Jesus that you weren't born in Nigeria. Posted by: nerdygirl at October 14, 2018 10:37 PM (+lVUW) 84

A lot of men have uncontrollable rage and emotionally or physically abuse their spouses. They are probably triggered by very minor things.
I guess all they need to do is concoct some lame rationalization like this 70 yo bitch and they're good to go, right? People should stop demonizing abusive men and make them courageous heroes like abusive women. /s This is another case of "I don't think the left has thought this through".

Love the speculation about Palin running against Murkowski for Senate.
Round 1 Palin beat Lisa's poppa in the GOP Alaska Governor's race. Round 2 decimated poppa Murkowski's corrupt cronies as Governor. Round 3 Palin backed Tea Party candidate beats Lisa in GOP Alaska Senate Primary. Round 4 Lisa weasels her way to winning the Senate seat with the help of the GOPe. Round 5 Lisa re-establishes the Family Business. So far 3 rounds for Palin, 2 for Lisa. Posted by: davidt at October 14, 2018 10:42 PM (9qyA/) 97

F*ck Feelings money quotes I like:
- Don't begin the process of self-improvement by listing all the reasons you suck. Nobody wants to hear it, least of all us. - Just as everybody wants to go to heaven without having to die, everyone wants to find true love without having to suffer through dates. - You haven't failed as a spouse if your partner isn't happy. Your vows said something about "in sickness and in health," not, "with god-like powers to make things perfect forever." - A good person isn't the angel with the beatific smile of love, but the pissed off banshee who grins and bears it, acts decently, and knows how to negotiate. - Just because mental illness doesn't have a clear cause or a cure doesn't mean it's a death sentence. It's merely a life sentence, so you might as well stop groping for answers and learn to deal. Posted by: Hands at October 14, 2018 10:44 PM (786Ro) 115

I heard Rush talking about that 70 year old nut case this week. It is one of the few times I can recall yelling in anger at the radio. Her big takeaway this that the only way men can redeem themselves for our natural inclination to rape and abuse is to band together on our own to figure out how we can stop being men and respect women.
I think my exact words were "Fuck you, worry about yourself, I'm not spending one second trying to figure out on my own how to satisfy your impossible demands." Annoys me when I hear a group of women going on an on about how tough their lives have been because of men. Guess what, men's lives aren't so easy dealing with women either, we have just learned not to complain about it. Posted by: Dave in Fla at October 14, 2018 10:47 PM (PHotS) 120
Telling your intern to "suck it" isn't an abuse of power? Dragging the

Seriously. So...telling women to dress appropriately...UNACCEPTABLE! Using an intern as a humidor? WOKE AS F*** Is that about right? That being said the fact Bill Clinton was "credibly accused" of multiple rapes is a bigger deal. Oh, and his admitting that he sexually harassed a woman (Paula Jones).

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders likely violated ethics regulations when she posted a photo on her official White House Twitter account of Kanye West wearing a MAGA hat, a watchdog group charged.

The group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a complaint Friday with the Office of Special Counsel, accusing Sanders of violating the Hatch Act.

I am hoping to get another mini meet-up going in the winter for people who couldn't make this one - maybe a day at the Henry Ford or DIA and/or dinner. I'll need Detroit residents to pick a good restaurant like AltonJackson did for the Washtenaw County area. I'm OK, thanks for asking. Maybe getting a bit of a cold.

...The high school had encouraged students to dress with a patriotic theme for the football game on Oct. 5... the high school's principal asked... 18-year-old... to remove the jersey because it was "too political"... red, white and blue jersey featured "USA" and the Statue of Liberty's torch on the front, with "Trump" and the number 45 on the back... after people complained.
This is all kinds of twisted. The President is not suitable for a patriotic theme? A couple of whiny anti-Trumpers gripe and rule the stadium? Or did the Principal just make up the people complaining? Anyway, fired. Hahaha. Nelson Muntz point and guffaw.

"- You haven't failed as a spouse if your partner isn't happy."
That conclusion depends on more evidence. If the spouse was a happy person before they married, then it may be that the other dragged them down. On the other hand, some are just determined to be unhappy their entire lives, no matter who they're with. Only advice is to stay away from those people. 2 people can only live together successfully if they've both got the ability to live apart successfully. Any who move in with someone in order to make up for something lacking in themselves (and oh so many do) is guaranteeing future heartache and disaster. Just something I've watched happen countless times over the years. Posted by: Tom Servo at October 14, 2018 11:10 PM (V2Yro) Posted by: JTB at October 14, 2018 11:11 PM (V+03K) 213

It isn't just spouses that demand to be made happy. My mother and her older sister were narcissists of this type. I figured out part way through high school that they used their claims of unhappiness as a club to beat others into doing what they wanted, and that they were never satisfied with anything anyone else did to try to "make them happy."

Big line of storms moving through Texas tonight. Not here yet, but I can see it on the northwestern horizon. Lightning is so intense - almost constant flashes - that I imagine this must have been about what it was like to watch the Western Front in WW1 from about 20 or 30 miles away. And it's not just hits to the ground, the lightning is arcing back and forth through the tops of the clouds constantly. Impressive show.

Every friend of mine who ended up divorced had a chick in his life that was the same....fucking....way. Houses, cars, vacations, it didn't matter. It was all about mutually assured misery. They want a pain free life. No downs, all ups. You're in good company, and not unique by any means.
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at October 14, 2018 11:14 PM (9Om/r) Yep. Some people (maybe even a lot of people) are just generally unhappy people, and as they say -- misery lives company. And of course it's easy to blame the people closest to you for your lack of happiness. Posted by: Harry Paratestes at October 14, 2018 11:17 PM (GBteo) 240
My previous marriage started out good, but as time went on she started getting paranoid and abusive. Nothing I did seemed to make any difference. About two years after we split up, she was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic.

You can definitely make your spouse miserable. I know; I've done it. But you can't make them happy; that really is an individual thing. At least that's my present thinking.

Campuses started setting up "safe spaces" well before 2015, when the news hit our media in earnest: College students were literally taking shelter from the possibility of hearing opinions they might disagree with.
For all the mockery the idea received, we're seeing that principle extended to the real world. The recent outbursts on our streets have their root in the idea that only one opinion is the correct one and all others must be shut down. Posted by: SMOD at October 14, 2018 11:19 PM (e8kgV) 245

There's an unfortunate asymmetry here that's built into us. It's simply a whole lot easier to make most guys happy than it is to make most women happy. No getting around that.

Singer Ariana Grande and comedian Pete Davidson have reportedly ended their relationship and called off their engagement, according to reports from TMZ and People. "Sources close to the former couple tell us AG and PD split this weekend, with both parties acknowledging that it simply was not the right time for their relationship to take off," TMZ announced. "We're told the two still have love for each other, but things are over romantically."

I realized that marriage was unworkable for me any way when I saw so many get divorced because one or the other (mostly the women) were "unhappy".
I figure I couldn't make myself happy whenever I wanted to let alone someone else. So I said: "no thanks" and let those women be unsatisfied with someone else. My life improved 100% after I made that decision. I'm lonely (sometimes) but that can be fixed even if only temporary. And if I get really melancholy, I'll buy a dog.

You couldn't got a room if you had to? Maybe it's a thing with me, I hate stupidity directed at me almost more than anything else. It's like when, at various times, people (whether personal or business) have lied to me and I know it. I almost have to give someone credit when they've really put a lot of effort into concocting a really good lie, that almost should have worked. And at other times my reaction has been "I can't believe you could disrespect me so much that you didn't even put any effort at all in coming up with a half way decent lie for my benefit, you f'ing idiot."

An expert witness for the prosecution, Sir Roy Meadow, argued that the odds of SIDS claiming two children from such an affluent family were 1 in 73 million, likening it to the odds of backing an 80-1 horse in the Grand National four years in a row and winning every time. The jury convicted Clark to life in prison.
But the Royal Statistical Society issued a statement after the verdict insisting that Meadow had erred in his calculation and that there was "no statistical basis" for his stated figure. Clark's conviction was overturned on appeal in January 2003, and the case has become a canonical example of the consequences of flawed statistical reasoning. The first problem is that SIDS is not any sort of real "disease" so it's hard to put any sort of statistical figures on it. But that was the defense attorney's responsibility ... or whatever crazy sort of thing they have in Britain. Of course, in Britain, the odds of two infants going to the hospital for runny noses and ending up dead is only about 2:1. Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at October 14, 2018 11:30 PM (iXQC4) 280

Yeah. me too.
The .243 seems a bit undersize and the .308 I've shot was not fun. Forget a 30-06 or any of the other hotter ones. I'm a sissy these days when it comes to recoil. It's the arthritis. Any bruising or sprain will cause a pinpoint pain point the next day or two and takes forever to ease up. Posted by: jakee308 at October 14, 2018 11:43 PM (sgZqZ) 319

Posted by: jakee308 at October 14, 2018 11:36 PM (sgZqZ) Let the terrain and vegetation help guide. I'd rule out the .243, not because it's not a great cartridge, 'cause it is. But deer is kind of it's upper limits. .270 has killed thousands of elk, and the .308 is right behind in that regard. VERY slight edge to .308 if weight is an issue, as it uses the "short" action, whereas the .270 resides in the .30-'06 length receiver. .270 shoots faster, flatter, but with lighter bullets. .308 is only 50 fps slower than the '06, and shoots damn near any weight bullet in the .308 diameter. Hope that helps? Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at October 14, 2018 11:45 PM (QzJWU) 323

live in a leftist neighborhood, but I am always meeting conservatives here. It gives me hope.
Posted by: Ladyl My neighborhood is changing for the better, except for the hoarder next door. We used to have vandalism, drunken spousal fights, and drug dealers. Now kids run up and down the street and parents are outside chatting and watching the neighborhood. A week ago, I noticed a neighbor outside who has a plumbing company truck. I stopped and asked him if he could inspect my crawl space. I have been wanting to check the dingbat plumbing job but I still cannot put a lot of pressure on my shin. He said it looked good, told me how to remove the traps if I ever needed to, and charged me nothing! Then he showed me pics of the type of plumbing he does and I realized I had gotten a surgeon to make a housecall. He remembered when the street and its parallel one was cruddy. But the adults back then were mostly white collar, whereas we now have construction workers, carpenters, nurses, and MAGA hat wearers. Posted by: NaughtyPine at October 14, 2018 11:50 PM (/+bwe) 338

But people go to psychotherapists because they have to pay a "friend" to listen them, not because anyone has any expectation taht they are going to get "better". On the other hand, the psychiatrists are very effective ... at something. They use drugs so powerful that they can't help but have a major effect. Of course, they're drugging society to stupidity and even worse insanity ... but, dem's de breaks.

he callled at 6 on a weekend morning to let us know he could not get into our building so I staggered down to let him in. when I go there I asked him if he was familiar with the building and other things. he replied he had delivered to the building many times. great. then he asks if the building has a cart? nope. do you have a cart for me? nope. he brings up a couple of cases then bangs on our door to let me know that he needs help carrying it in . when I told him I was not going to he replied that his back was starting to bother him and he did not want me to have to pay for his back injury. I told him not to worry because I would not. then he told me he was not going to deliver the rest of the order. I told him that was fine and he could sort it out with amazon. 20 minutes later I checked outside our door and everything was there. Posted by: yankeefifth at October 14, 2018 11:57 PM (MTjB1) 354

we exchanged awkward pleasantries and left. when we got in our car we looked back to see that the woman and her daughter had gone back to their car to get the rest of the order. they were driving a brand new small mercedes suv. one funny thing is that these to tiny people who spoke American english without any accent were apparently willing do the job that the other guy wasn't.

The ergonomics on the original Model 70 stocks (wood) are great. They generally fire a lot smoother than their Remington and certainly than their Ruger counterparts.

A friend has a Winchester 1400 20 ga. bird gun. Soft shooter. Not what I would choose for deer though, unless the brush was really tight, 20-25 yard shot.

201 Can you recommend any good books on the history of Venice? I'm going through a Venice phase at the moment.
John Julius Norwich's A History of Venice is long (almost 700 pages) but has received good reviews; it's an enjoyable read that covers the history of the city from its foundation in the 5th century to 1797, when Napoleon put an end to the Venetian Republic. You could probably find an inexpensive secondhand copy through Alibris or Amazon. Posted by: Basement Cat at October 15, 2018 12:11 AM (3C9q2) 388

I think it was insty who pointed out black men would probably not be eager to ride the "no due process for men accused of rape by white women" train, and that the Kavanaugh hearings would probably hurt the Democrats in that demo. Posted by: Ace's liver at October 15, 2018 12:03 AM (h2Bdk) On one of the daytime gorilla threads a week or two ago, CBD included an old photo of a black man hanging from a tree with a group of white men standing nearby. The caption read: "A woman accused him of sexual assault. That was good enough for us." It was a pretty gruesome photo and he deleted it after some commenters complained, but it was dead bang accurate and I wish that meme could be spread far and wide.

Lancelot, I was about to say:
* WTF with "destruction of democratic norms"? This is a baseless and weird slander much beloved among the unthinking punditocracy, of which Sullivan has long been a member * O-care came pre-sabotaged, you idiot (Sullivan) - um it was in all the papers. Disastrously bad "solution" to a problem that didn't exist, introducing major new problems, devastating for millions, exacerbated all existing problems - *all* of which have to do with the destruction of insurance, and its substitution by a frankenstein of some insurance, massive cost shifting, subsidies, etc., implemented by oligopolies, all groaning under massive over-regulation * WTF with "authoritarian" governance style? One example, please? * the only destruction of "norms" was the tsunami of lawlessness under Obama, which crested with the unprecedented abuse of the intel and law enforcement tools of the fed. govt. to influence and election and then attempt to negate the results thereof.

I redpilled a black friend with this Kanye shit. She's not real political, but doesn't like Trump or Republicans and does like Kanye, so was disappointed West was supporting him.
I told her that all else aside, the media that worshipped Yeezy for fifteen years would turn on him like a rabid like a rabid dog immediately. She thought I was crazy. She called me the next day, shocked at what they were saying, and asking how I knew it would it happen. She sat and listened for ninety minutes as I laid out the sick, abusive codependent relationships between Dems and blacks, and the media's role as role as enforcers for the Dem pimps. How afraid the Dems are of a powerful black man telling blacks to think for themselves. Afterward, she thanked me for the conversation, and said she would pass on what she'd heard to friends and family. Persuasion, spreading the Dragon Energy!

Posted by: Ace's liver at October 15, 2018 12:58 AM A few years ago one of my younger relatives brought his buddy to dinner. Guy bought into some sort of manly behavioral game with alpha and beta rankings, plus some theories about how to treat women to get them to do what they wanted.

I've nailed down my fav beef stew. Best tip/hack from seriouseats: brown the entire chuck steak before you cut it into chunks. Rest for a few minutes, of course. Chicken and beef stock for the beginning liquor, and some red vino with a ton of fried mushrooms at the beginning. Simmer that base with disposable veg. Don't bother with the fine chopping of the 1st carrots and veg. Dip them out and move on to the 2nd hour with fresh, fine chopped veg.

President Donald Trump is backing off his claim that climate change is a hoax but says he doesn't know if it's man made and suggests that the climate will "change back again."
Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at October 15, 2018 12:17 AM (4mUNO) Thing is, it is a hoax. An Aussie PhD candidate did an audit of the Hadcrut IV temperature data series as his dissertation (and was awarded his doctorate on it), and that dataset is simply riddled with significant errors. Like a town in Colombia that was recorded as being 80 degrees C, for two months running. That's a well-done steak. Go look up wattsupwiththat for the low down on it.

So, in CO we have prop 112, which is to drastically increase setbacks in a fashion which would eliminate gas drilling in our state.
The energy folks hit back by putting Amendment 74 on the ballot, which is to force the government to pay property owners for any government measure that reduces their property value (such as stripping their mineral rights with 112). I think 112 is doomed. But 74 may pass. If so, it will open up state and local governments to a shit-ton of lawsuits, frivolous and legitimate. The vulnerable governments would be the state and Denver regional council of governments. Governments I despise. And in the case of DRCOG, idiot taxpayers I hate would be on the hook. I would be too, but I can take one for the team. If this comes to pass, I will begin community organizing... I would like to make sure that laws passed by Denver and Boulder end up resulting in disastrous class action lawsuits whenever possible.

apropos gigio of nothing in particular
Baby sister called today and asked if I wanted her vintage Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I kit which has been sitting in a box since 199?. Since it was worth nothing on e-bay. ! She says the keyboard has no D key (but still works, heh). The expansion box has some kind of problem. She could get one of the external 5" drives to light up but not spin. No monitor. I told her, sure, I'd take it. I have 2 - or more like 1.7 - Model I set-ups, my original 1978-80 kit, and somebody's I bought decades ago. But I'm not sure I have any working drives for mine either, which is kind of essential. Told Sis that I always dreamed of getting the system up & running again, just for fun. If I ever have the space and the time. Or maybe her box of Model I will sit next to mine until some archeologist discovers them some day. I think the big collection of 80 Magazine got moldy, though. But I have all the original doc. Posted by: mindful webworker's black and white past at October 15, 2018 02:00 AM (CafNC) 477

Remember when Andrew Sullivan was conservative?
He pretty much admits that the Kavanaugh thing made him rethink his life choices... wrong side. Andrew also thinks it is possible to be both a populist and Authoritarian, he needs to look up words before using them. Trump is less Authoritarian than Obama, or Bush for that matter... he's the least Authoritarian president we've had, maybe ever. And gives many more interviews with the press, even though they treat him terribly... he proves they are idiots every time he does an interview. I didn't always believe Trump did it all on purpose, but I think now that he actually does do it on purpose, stir them up I mean... he just kicks that hornet's nest and they show things they never meant the world to see. Could be a stable genius... I think he actually could be. Posted by: unknown at October 15, 2018 02:11 AM (4FqDg) 479

294 Want to buy my first deer rifle.
.243 - .270 - .308 a short reason for your choice would be appreciated. Posted by: jakee308 at October 14, 2018 11:36 PM Have you considered 45-70 gov? Seriously, though, I think the calculation should go like this: 1- Unless you are pinpoint accurate and your local deer are small, or you are very recoil sensitive, I'd screen out the .243 2- If you plan on shooting at long ranges, and aren't going to be precise on the exact distance (known distance, laser, etc), .270 will be more forgiving with bullet drop. 3- .308 will hit harder, so less tracking and more forgiving on slightly off hits. If you're in a northern state with really big deer, or an area with lots of ravines shit deer will run in to to make you drag them out, this becomes more appealing. Until recently, Iowa only allowed shotguns and muzzleloaders, so I can only look on in envy. We just got straightwalled cartridges of .40 and above allowed, so now I'm considering something in the .450, .45-70 or .444 range. Or maybe just a really nice, long range muzzle loader instead on my cheap little CVA Wolf. Posted by: Grimaldi at October 15, 2018 04:05 AM (3MG/9) 499

A little bit of everything actually. It's mostly hard leaving him/sad to be away feelings, for a large majority of it.

Do they still have the pull tab tickets that sold in the vending machines?
