Re-Education Camp Cafe: Dumb Creatures of Low Animal Intelligence Edition
We have the absolute worst-educated elites.
Andrew Mitchell tries to "correct" Ted Cruz's mention of Shakespeare's "sound and fury."Andrea Mitchell
@mitchellreports .@SenTedCruz says #ImpeachmentTrial is like Shakespeare full of sound and fury signifying nothing. No, that's Faulkner
Jerry DunleavyOh you stupid decrepit vinegary buzzard. William Faulkner did indeed publish a novel called The Sound and the Fury -- a novel which takes its name from... MacBeth. By the way, the "sound and fury" speech is one of the, what?, five most famous Shakespearean quotes? How "elite" can this "Elite" possibly be if she doesn't recognize one of the top five Shakespearean quotes? Oh, and by the way, Andrea: Don't confuse Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury with Graham Greene's The Power and the Glory. I know they look the same to a lazy diminished-executive-function scroll-and-click Twitter Junkie meltbrain, but they're different. Update: It gets worse.
@JerryDunleavy
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth in "Macbeth" by Shakespeare
51 It's even more hilarious when you consider that Andrea Mitchell got a BA in English literature in 1967. Back then every high school and college English lit class was still making damn sure everybody got an education in Shakespeare and yet somehow they couldn't overcome the wind drag of Andrea's brain.Here's some cute stuff: Lost and emaciated pit bull seeks help from a very nice hooman. This one starts a little tough, but gets better. A cute little Golden Retriever was locked in a cage his whole life. He cannot really walk. But nice hoomans get him running again. Another one that starts tough but gets better: Senior dog, abused and abandoned, is rescued and nursed back to health. This guy gets accepted into a gorilla family. By request: Sea otter mom and pup. Little flashback here to the saga of Leland and the new television. Remember, this is all staged. This family films semi-scripted scenarios, often featuring a misbehaving Leland. "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!" And speaking of misbehaving spoiled brats:

According to researchers the randomised trial was stopped early, because the results were so remarkable, the researchers did not believe it ethical to deny treatment to placebo patients."

It doesn't matter what it is. Shakespeare, the Bible, the Constitution, famous music, whatever. The reporters are all ignorant, and most are stupid. They say shit *all the time* that proves it.
They don't have any clue about foundational cultural touchstones because they are cultural illiterates. They went to university programs that teach people how to write at a seventh-grade level, for Lord's sakes.
But they sure are good at telling each other they're smarter than everyone, though. I swear, a journalism major must include 100 credit hours of mutual-praise training.

Capone: What draws my admiration? What is that which gives me joy? Baseball! A man stands alone at the plate. This is the time for what? For individual achievement. There he stands alone. But in the field, what? Part of a team. Teamwork... Looks, throws, catches, hustles. Part of one big team. Bats himself the live-long day, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and so on. If his team don't field... what is he? You follow me? No one. Sunny day, the stands are full of fans. What does he have to say? I'm goin' out there for myself. But... I get nowhere unless the team wins.
Hoods: Team!

Miley and I may get internet tomorrow. Charter sent another truck out to connect and install the hardware (pedestal) for the overhead and underground run to the new house.
But he didn't connect it to the main feed at the road -- that will require service interruption for a good number of customers downstream from here, and I'm sure they're gonna schedule that at some time with little load, maybe in the wee hours.
However, it's going to set in to raining for about a week. Today was a very nice day, things had dried out enough for the guy to get his truck in the field. But the final tie in will be at the road, so don't have to worry about rain.
Charter, God bless them, they take their time, and do it piecemeal.

So I have a "voluntary" "confidential" "employee focus group" remote meeting tomorrow to discuss diversity. I plan to out-woke everyone (as in suggest we put it up to a vote of employees to switch our floating holiday to MLK day and to show up that day to listen to speeches.)
Anyone have any other woke ideas I could suggest?

The "Oxfordian Theory" as it's known posits the true author was the 17th Earl of Oxford, Edward DeVere. It is the most popular alternate authorship.
This has been hotly debated, and I think current woke culture considers it verbotten.
Me I don't know enough to really have an opinion of my own, but the Oxfordians make some really good points.
Shakespeare was just about the greatest, at least in English, and his turns of phrases persist to this day more than any other. The author was obviously well educated in many subjects including law and history, and knew the inside goings-on of the court.
The Stratford man had none of those.

I think you should highlight a different Black person from history every working day during Black history month, and have a 2 hour breakout session to talk about their important impact on American culture.
Also, you should give all BIPOC's the day off following any murder of an innocent black child by the racist white supremacist police.
Also, every white person in the office should have to get in front of the entire office and explain how their white privilege has allowed them to be successful, and apologize to all BIPOC's for harming them.

My favorite example is Robin Hood. They all love them some Robin Hood, because he stole from the rich and gave to the poor! Is that really what happened? or maybe did he steal back from the tax collectors and return stuff to those over taxed by Prince John?
-----
Perfect example. And, as a general rule, I don't hold it against people when they say something ignorant. First of all, we all do it. Nobody's an expert on everything. It's easy to fall into some false trope if you don't know better.
Secondly, for a huge number of people, they know very little about very little, because our education system is a tragic joke from start to finish. To a large extent, our society has failed to educate children or young adults, and I can't say as I blame people for not knowing much.
But, see, most people don't walk around acting like they're the fonts of human wisdom. Journalists almost universally do, and they fall in the bottom tranche of functional and cultural literacy in the writing profession. It's like being condescended to by a bunch of children, and it makes me want to punch them in the crotch.

But Marlowe has DeVere beat - he died and kept writing Shakepeare even longer.
=========
Marlowe was stabbed in the eye in a tavern brawl about the time Shakespeare was hitting his stride as a playwright. So he didn't write those plays.

How could we possibly know that? If the inside goings-on of the court can't be had second-hand, us being terribly far removed would be unable to verify any of it. If it could be known second-hand, who is to say Shakespeare would not know these things(or at least what was popular and so be able to make plays about it).
As for the law, lawsuits were a common form of entertainment for peasants. Yes really. A fairly doctrinaire interpretation of history for the era might be indication of formal education, but it's not like history texts weren't available otherwise.

Dude, it was the 90s for me, and I didn't even go to good schools. We did some of those in junior high, and the rest in HS.
I graduated from a chronically poor district, and we had done Chaucer and Donne, all that great English lit. They even shoehorned in some philosophy classics and Omar Khayyam poems and shit.
That was twenty freaking years ago. Now that I'm seeing elementary and junior high education up close today, these kids will be lucky if they're on track for my generation's HS lit by the age of forty. I'm working to correct this on my own, but jeez.

About Shakespeare.., in Eric Flint's 1632 series (the one where a modern West Virginia coal mining town gets sent back to 1600s Europe), one of the local doctors bursts into laughter on seeing an edition of Shakespeare's plays, claiming that everyone knows the Earl wrote them.

Shakespere is a bad one not to see in the theater. Live they... come alive? On the page, it is harder to get the sense of the word play. The rapid fire brilliance. They become ... drab.

Posted by: Aetius451AD at February 10, 2021 08:48 PM (lmikk)
One thing most writers can't really aspire to is what Shakespeare did to the language. He detonated the contemporary usage. The change from the old Germanic structures had been slowly happening for a hundred or so years, but his plays revolutionized and popularized modern English to a point where the whole English literary world changed for good. And for the better.

You know how if in the beginning we (meaning the whole country) would of all, everyone of us said, "no fuck you war" to all the the covid mask crap, the real riots, and the election steal they would have to of backed down, but we didn't we were fractured and the left and GOPe exploited that to do anything they wanted?
Well now its the GOPe's turn to unify (fortify?) with the left in screwing us as well as deplatforming and eliminating any in their rank that falls out of line. Where we were weak our enemies will be strong. The GOPe has decided to take whatever disaffected Democrats that want US big government but not hard line communism and leave us, their old voters, to die. I believe there have been agreements between the left and GOPe powers to do this.
They want to build a new Republican party that will be indistinguishable from the 1990s Democrat party of Clinton and Gore.

I got kicked up from the remedial classes my junior high had put me into, into an independent-study English class as a HS freshman, and it was basically 'pick what book you want to read this week and tell me about it Friday'. God, it was magnificent.
That put me in the AP History/English class combo taught by a tag-team of guys I will remember for life (basically they alternated two-hour sessions day to day).
The history guy especially, he'd walk around and kick the desks - I mean, pop them an inch off the ground - of students he didn't think were paying enough attention. One guy who sat in the front row attracted his attention at least a day a week and seemed to live for it.
When I was at SF State he was taking a sabbatical and I ran into him in one of the computer labs there.

Saw Mike Lindell being interviewed by Steve Bannon last week, giving some background.
Mike was struggling for 8 years after My Pillow came out, and he bet it all on a 2011 infomercial. And it started slowly, and Mike thought he was finally a goner. And then, the orders started coming and he finally was able to pay his debts.
So yeah, Hogg, go for it. It will be the first actual work you do. And you will fail.

My 11th grade English teacher was amazing. Better than any college professor I had. We became friends. He was extremely highly educated, and erudite.
But, he dedicated the entirety of his junior class curriculum to diction and grammar to make up for the shortfall in basic writing education in his students. He even wrote a book on it.
Just nonstop drills. "Identify the object complement in this sentence. No? You can't? OK, identify it in the next five sentences on this sheet while I work with X, and submit it to me after class. We'll talk about it in detention."

I'm not quite sure how I ended up with it, but my mother let me play with a coffee can she'd just emptied, with the lid intact, and I still have the scar on my knee. Used to look exactly like a football, it's since faded quite a bit. Fifty years will do that.
Today I'd end up in Child Protective Services. Maybe I should be. Oh wait...how 'bout Antique Protective Services?

Maybe it was in English as a second language literature. Considering the number of people she's bedded, her go to phrase is probably "me love you long time." "$15" "Me so horny".

My first instinct is Burn the Heretic! Olives are fine for a vodka centered Martini adjacent drink. But it would depend on what gin I suppose. I like the more floral or fruity ones, ok with the piney ones, but there are certain WTF ones like Aviation that an olive would be a better choice for.

Mercurochrome didn't sting like Merthiolate. We never had Mercurochrome, so I thought it was for rich people.

His daughter tried opposing him and Uncle Jimmy (Larry's walking brother who did a lot of Larry's business). One afternoon, the Gary Burbank on WLW in Cincy got Uncle Jimmy and Larry's daughter on the phone together. Uncle Jimmy pretty much threatened to kill her if she kept messing with them.
So, that went well.
