Wednesday Morning Rant

Rabid Madness

The rabid insanity and stupidity of America's news personalities is hard to overstate. The common refrain of "however much you hate journalists, you don't hate them enough" is fair enough, but it is too limiting. "However insane you think journalists are, they're far crazier" is equally applicable. So is, "however stupid you think journalists are, they're far stupider."

Although it's a bit like sand-blasting a soup cracker to user her as an example, Rachel Maddow continues to prove all three points simultaneously. In keeping with the Press' fascination with itself, CNN's "Reliable Sources with Oliver Darcy" (did you know they resurrected the name after they got rid of The Tater? They did. Now it's a newsletter that nobody reads) interviewed Maddow recently. There is nothing journalists like more than "making news" with other journalists. This kind of navel-gazing used to be frowned upon, but journalists interviewing journalists is the height of journalistic production here in Clown Universe.

The interview was a gift to her from CNN to help her promote her podcast. Of course. Everybody has a podcast. On hers, Maddow brings her towering intellect to bear on "the frayed line between violent extremism and mainstream politics." Fascinating stuff, I'm sure.

Maddow highlights how self-impressed journalists are throughout the interview. It's a somewhat interesting read that you should check out, if only as an amateur anthropologist. Journalists are, of course, heroes who must make lightning decisions in the moment to ensure that truth and justice prevail and that people think the right things:

... we all face that question in daily news production every day: do I ignore this lie, thus letting it slide by unrebutted; or do I discuss the lie, thereby debunking it but also implicitly amplifying it in the process? There isn't a one-sized-fits-all solution for every lie. But knowing that the avalanche of lies is a political tactic at least helps us expect it, and hopefully to explain its tactical function to our audiences. Forewarned is forearmed.

And what does this paragon of truth and this wizard of decoding politics do with her huge brain, titanic experience and singular ability to explain clearly the events of the world to the masses?

If you guessed, "go on hysterical tirades about Donald Trump," go collect your winnings. I'm not going to pay them, but somebody surely will. The Oracle of MSNBC, the brilliant prognosticator, the mental giant knows precisely what is going to happen:

I'm worried about the country broadly if we put someone in power who is openly avowing that he plans to build camps to hold millions of people, and to "root out" what he's described in subhuman terms as his "enemy from within." ...
...
When Trump invokes the Insurrection Act to deploy the U.S. military against civilians on his first day in office, do you think he then rescinds the order on day two?
For that matter, what convinces you that these massive camps he's planning are only for migrants?

Thankfully, Maddow's intellect is matched only by her courage and grace under pressure. She keeps on as a soldier for truth despite the personal risks she faces. She is the embodiment of bravery:

So, yes, I'm worried about me -- but only as much as I'm worried about all of us.

It's not about her, you see. She'll just be a prominent victim among the masses when the Orange-Robed Death Squads begin their pogrom against the best within our country. A true martyr, she will continue to speak truth about the Orange Devil until he sends her to a camp. She keeps fighting for the people. For you.

Maddow is stupider and crazier than average even among her peers, but she is not really exceptional. This is contemporary American journalism. She could be their totem animal. They are all Rachel Maddow.

You can make whatever case you like against James. (I disagree, but that is irrelevant here.) It doesn't change the fact that Churchill didn't stand up and back William. He professed loyalty to James, even leading his army, and then played Judas.

And after that, he corresponded with James, making it clear that if the wind shifted, so would Churchill's loyalty. A rare case of military glory without honor. Many Whigs, and his descendant Winston, have been blowing smoke and waving their hands ever since. But it doesn't change the bottom line. John Churchill was, (to quote John Randolph), "So brilliant yet so corrupt. Like a rotten mackerel by moonlight, he shines and stinks."

174 And after that, he corresponded with James, making it clear that if the wind shifted, so would Churchill's loyalty. A rare case of military glory without honor. Many Whigs, and his descendant Winston, have been blowing smoke and waving their hands ever since. But it doesn't change the bottom line. John Churchill was, (to quote John Randolph), "So brilliant yet so corrupt. Like a rotten mackerel by moonlight, he shines and stinks."

The Stuart line was a rotten one with their pretensions of divine rule and it was divided into cowards and idiots and caused massive deaths due to their ideals. And due to ancestry, I am sympathetic to the Scots but their choices for kings were by and large stinkers.

It gets a bit difficult to ascertain exactly what surviving letters meant way back when because you would find quite a few prominent people of the era having situational ethics. You find Charles, for example, taking money from France which arguably is treason.

Charles II, for example, wanted the divine right of kings established,but he knew it he tried it he might end up dead. So he temporized as did his grandfather James I.

239 The first poll for the French legislative elections shows Marine Le Pen's National Rally way out in front with a projected 235-265 seats (out of 577 total).

Combined with a smaller right-wing party (led by Le Pen's niece), this wouldn't be enough to give her a majority in the National Assembly, but the leader of the center-right Republican Party has expressed his intention to form a coalition with National Rally.

This may not stick (a large faction within the Republicans is balking at the idea), but if it does, Le Pen will be holding the whip hand in the legislature, and Macron will have suffered a very public defeat, which should make the next presidential election highly interesting.

247 "You can't own a Cannon!" is one of the more stupid absurdities for Biden to focus on. It isn't something that should be highlighted, if anything.

Because, "you" can absolutely own a cannon. Exploding munitions, are unlawful. The government decided to draw the line there, I guess.

Back in the day, rich guys like Bezos or whoever would have warships and the rest of it. The catch was, the government could basically order you to help out Uncle Sam if necessary.

Privateers, apparently, drew recruits in by promising a portion of the spoils. This is an enticing notion for a lot of people. The no longer do this, nor are Rum Rations or a Gill of Spirits part of the regular pay and allowances.

Some infamous dictator, probably every one of them, at some time or another.

Yeah, "WE NEED MORE GUN LAWS!" isn't quite the strong argument they think it is when they don't enforce the laws that are already on the books. You can apply this in other areas as well (e.g., immigration reform).

296 As Gandhi admitted, his non violence tactics could only work because the Brits were basically conscientious and moral.

Our current leftists are not moral as witnessed by the political prisoners of Jan 6.

Point taken. Yet I can't help but think of Solzhenitsyn and his "what if we had all resisted at once" screed. His oppressors were also devoid of morality.

I have a friend who's an academic librarian. He goes to the faculty and staff meetings and his old fashioned phrase for some of the faculty is "disputatious to the nth degree."

It's not just that. It's "We need more gun laws, but we need to keep making exceptions for people who break gun laws because the gun laws are stupid."

Which is essentially the underlying logic of most of the pro-Hunter stuff I've seen.

Just asking?

Very funny book. If you haven't, check out his Life in a Putty Knife Factory.

HAS is a very underrated humorist.

As the 'budget expert' LOST EVERY YEAR to Patty Murray (a contender for silliest/dumbest) even before the (R) sweep.

My contempt for RINO Ryan is absolute.

307 Why all this talk about covertly defacing their murals and then hiding? Posted by: Taq

I'm not blaming you for confusion on this, since we were all mixed up on it in the Sixties, but there's a difference (or ought to be) between "civil disobedience" within the legal and social structure, and "Resistance fighting" against an occupier. Defacing a mural by moonlight is in the Resistance category.

Degrees and credentials do not equal wisdom nor intelligence. What is important to Madcow is her sexuality and all her politics flow from her magic hoo-haw.

Of course she has parlayed that into millions of dollars, so she does have that going for her. It's a game for her, she believes none of it - she is just laughing all the way to the bank.
