The quadrennial Pardon Palooza! Ace, cobs, and commenters covered much of this in the past few days but here is a bit more to bat around. The pardoning of the easily influenced and the willing malefactors is upon us. Normally I don’t pay much attention to this. However, the deliberate and premeditated conduct of this administration and the behind-the-scenes lever pullers has perked up my desire for “I want consequences and prosecutions.” Quite the progression over the years. These counts include all grants of clemency (convictions pardoned, commuted, and rescinded). An unsurprising list of names at the top. For any interested, here is an easy-to-read history of the pardon power. Those curious on a deeper level, this is well-cited and serves as a good aggregation of cases. Some references to Burdick v. United States and Biddle v. Perovich, which relate to some of the discussions in the comments section over the past week.
Any experts and/or those well-read (this includes Lurkers) are encouraged to add some context in the comments
Pretty cold around these parts this time of the year. Which means it is Hotdish season! Tater Tot Hotdish being the gold standard. Tots, meat (venison, sausage, ground beef), cheese, cream of sumfin soup, onion, and veggies (for color only). Out of the oven, nuclear temperature, and down the hatch. Hotdish (not Hot Dish) is far superior than a French cassoulet. The cassoulet has beans! This guy went across and well past the Rubicon on Hotdish history. No chance he is coming back.
Candidate insults are not getting any nastier over time. Sort of tame by comparison and a good reminder that our grandparents were likely tougher than us. Some historical gems here and here.
Song covers? Pretty meh, typically. Once in a while someone blows the lid off. Carrie Underwood (and her pins) with Paradise City cover at the 2013 CMA Fest. She nailed the Axl Rose (Davy Jones) dance moves.
Who knew that Billy Idol didn’t like commies? Amusing information about his Oktobriana tattoo from an interview on tumblr: “this Amazon Brigitte Bardot , Mata Hari spy type person who vanquishes the foes of Oktobriana ( The October Revolution ), you know , the foes of real communism. Well, in the end all these students got put in psycho hospitals, except for one guy who got out and brought the cartoon to London and printed it.”
Tonight’s ONT brought to you by moron style rebus, pictogram, brain teaser, visual pun silliness. Up to the standard of Voltaire and Frederick the Great? No. Fun, easy, frivolous, and not completely devoid of imagination – but nearing it. Went straight down the comments list from the Café a few nights back and picked out ones that would work. Some proved to be too obvious (a picture of an Ewok, CBD) and others simply too long or tricky due to space limitations. Some are a stretch, some require a bit of a leap. You will be awarded no prize, nor will your AoS social credit score improve. Name the Morons.
This ONT is posted with a nod toward 2025 and the next four years. Send any leftover New Year's Eve libations to the Department of Tasting and Consumption. scampydog at protonmail dot com.

With Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib clapping, listen to Marc Lamont Hill say that critiquing Hamas is a “white supremacist” viewpoint.
He then says that Hamas was democratically elected and to not talk about them as though they are some “crazy people.”

Pretty cold around these parts this time of the year.
It's been a nicely mild December here in NE Indian Territory. But we're about to catch the edge of this cold wave. I want to know, how does the weather know it's January??
Shouldn't that Atomic Energy Lab kit be safe by now? I mean, let's see, Uranium-236 has a half-life of… oh, well, about 23 million years.

There was a 15 minute video put together to introduce his first single in years. Interviews with Billy and other ls with quick 1 second clips of the new song, building up to the complete song.
Much was made of the fact that Billy was now clean. How hard he had worked to beat his addiction. That was very uplifting.
The song? Not so much. Literally it was like Baby Baby one two three I want to climb your lemon tree....
All I could think was Billy get back on the Horse, man....

The White House Correspondents Association. They took Trump to court when he kicked Jim Acosta out of the briefing room in his first term and won.
I've got a sneaky suspicion Trump isn't shooting from the hip on this one. He and his team have had some time to plan this term and they know DC much better now.

When a once and famous rock and roll band have all took the pledge, and released from re-hab, they get a nice interview and always say “We think it’s the best stuff we’ve done in years”.
Um, yeah Sure I bet it ain’t. Not condoning drug use, and giving 20 somethings a $100,000 advance for the next three albums is going to have them wired out of their gourd. A good example was the Beatles. Rubber Soul is a pretty good album, and they were high as a kite. Then they went off the deep end with the rubbish of Sgt Poofter stuff, by the time of the White Album they were just huffing their own farts. Easily a single LP worth of suitable material, they insisted on including a bunch of crap. IMO

You probably won't recognize the songs but you will recognize the sounds as the music biz seems to be farming the 70's and 80's sounds.
Bruno Mars Die With a Smile may as well been written and sung by Al Green.

It is up to the judge, supposedly the rules are to assure quality of counsel (snrk) not deprive defendants of representation.
In the end, the arguments are going to be "he is a good man, an honest man, he violated lots of laws but he loves his family, our nation survives on remittances, and we would like to keep him as far away from Mexico as possible"

Nice relaxing day, took the motorcycle out for a 130-ish mile ride along mostly two lane roads with 45mph speed limits. Touring some north alabama farming communities (Madison Cross Roads) and stumbled across this gem.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/vkepU1e7qDqC3aZG7
A freaking dive bar in the middle of BFE 'bama. Nice atmosphere, no music when i stopped for some coffee to warm up. Gotta go back this spring and get some music some solid redneck culture.
I need to take Smash's bike out for a similar run as she has a pinched nerve and can't ride, but it's such a dang small bike i feel like the yellow rain slicker dude on the tricycle in the Benny Hill show when i get on it. And it's gutless. Twist the throttle and it doesn't even pretend to go faster by getting louder.
Anyway, Happy New Year (again).

>>My point is, drugs & alcohol probably do help stimulate creativity to a point.
Drugs and alcohol do not stimulate creativity, they alter a person's mental state and put them in either a depressed or euphoric state that allows their innate creativity to spring forth.
And this typically only works for a very brief time from about 18 to 35 or so.

Day 7
I can't take much more of this. Today, on top of all the usual agglomeration of twenty-one avians, and another pear tree, my "true love" sent me seven swans. There's no place for them to be swimming, so they're running around in my yard, chasing the few remaining geese.
Do you have any idea how big a swan is? These suckers have a wingspan of, like, nine feet. And they're definitely not domesticated. They're wild, powerful, and aggressive. I see why a bunch of them is called a "lamentation."
The raptors and owls, quite a flock of them gathered now to feast on the other smaller birds, won't bother the swans.
What has my "true love" got against me? Lawyer is still working on that restraining order.
Local animal control called. They're coming by tomorrow because of the neighbors' complaints.

In the 1950s there were a lot of plot lines that revolved around defenseless people being terrorized by escaped lunatics from the asylum on back roads, things like that. Everything predicated though, on the potential victims being unarmed.

She did have a certain hotness to her when she was young. Even as she got older there was a little twinkle in her eyes that was still very attractive.

You are doin' some nice thinking there. You'll be good at this.
Yes, the earth wobbles around. This means that time, astronomical time does indeed wobble around. The closest thing to the old GMT is known as UT1. That wobbles.
UT1 is corrected for "Chandler wobble", the motion of the pole relative to the surface of the earth, but the earth's free wobble in intertial space is not corrected. UT2 corrects for the seasonal components of that, but there is a random component.
Astronomical time is not uniform. Think of it as a clock whose hands wobble a bit and don't move at exactly constant speed. Ephemeris time, realize by "TT", and kept by atomic clocks, is uniform (well, relativity makes this get a bit complex, but for Newtonian purposes, it's uniform).

UP until the turn of the 20th century, the earth's rotation was the most accurate clock we had. As the precision of astronomical observations increased in the latter half of the 19th century, they began to suspect the earth's rotation was not uniform. This was confirmed sometime in the early 1900s, 1910s when we had clocks accurate enough to compare.

There was another error in the prime meridian due to the vertical deflection of local plumb due to gravity variations. Plumb didn't point exactly through the center of the Erf.
The result was the real prime meridian was 102m to the east of the Airy meridian. It was only after satellites and precision gravitmetry and all that that this can be measured.

If interested, you can read all the sources of error for pendulum clocks. Variation in gravity is one (along with all sort of other variables). Lunar and solar tides affect this seasonally.
Up until atomic clocks, the most accurate clock for astronomical purposes at the turn of the 20th century was something called a vacuum master-slave pendulum clock. They still have a few at the USNO.
At the time, they thought the accuracy was about 1s per year. Turns out it was an order of magnitude better.
Careful measurements of one of those running free at the USNO over a year or so showed it was indeed sensitive to the sun-moon tidal cycles. Since that was predictable, it could've been factored out, and achieved 1s in 10 year accuracy.
Again, they didn't know it, because they didn't have a much more precise/accurate clock to compare it with.

But there is always an element of “somebody else did all the work” aspect to it. They already did the Math. They know where the stars are, the clock stars, but it seems arbitrary at some point.
Or put another way, if I need to test something - we test it against a known standard. A reference standard.
Well how did we get the reference? From the test standard, by which we calibrate against. Well who calibrated the original standard? We test a torque wrench against a calibration standard. Which is set with weights . Which .. oh never mind

One of those vacuum clocks:
https://tinyurl.com/27aoo2zn
The Schortt-Synchronome.
In operation, the swing plane of the vacuum pendulum had to be carefully set normal to the swing of the external slave pendulum. See the "Huygens Effect". Two pendulum clocks with a component in the same plane will get coupled and synchronize, and this will affect the accuracy of both.
This effect (well, the exact mechanism of the coupling) was only figured out exactly recently. It was some very complex physics.

I've heard it said, and I agree, alcohol is the true gateway drug. Nobody starts out on crack. There's a history of a couple of 40s here and there long before that.

I have a damned heartbreaking story like that. A very old good friend made a big effort to get in touch with me in the aftermath, offering his RV. No communications of any kind here, so it was probably 10 days or more before I could get back to him.
I finally got an email out to him from a functioning wi-fi, thanked him profusely, and inquired about he how he was doing. That's when I found out that his wife had undergone a minor surgery, but had not come out of anesthesia. At that point, she had been on life-support for 40 days. She passed away about three weeks ago.
We sometimes talk here about what constitutes a Good Friend. There he was spending every day at the hospital in that situation, and he takes the time to worry about me.

He died in a really stupid firearm mishap. He removed the magazine from a semi-automatic pistol, placed the barrel against his temple and pulled the trigger, thinking perhaps the removal made the weapon unloaded and therefore safe to play around with. Nope.

Like others here of a certain age, my parents had two cars with consecutive plates. Gas was sold on odd/even days depending on the ending license plate number. It was my job to get in a gas line just about every other day to get gas. Dad used his car for city work but only got paid mileage; he had to buy his own gas, which meant I was in line frequently to get gas for his car. Mom drove to a graveyard shift job at the Navy Base in the other car, so she needed gas often, too. You'd work out schedules and everything.
Filling one's gas tank became a lifestyle under Peanut Brain.

No real way to do it. Night shift/day shift.
If Dad had had an accident (he had had a serious one once when a lady ran a red light) while on the city clock and he had switched plates on the car, he'd be fried/fired.
Same for Mom. Going onto a Navy base with switched plates? Not the best idea, either. You have to remember, this was back when base security was real, no games.

Siezing of a nation’s Embassy and hostages, is completely and totally fucking illegal and an Act of War. Totally dirty pool. I do recognize this did not happen in a vacuum, but Carter dropped the ball here. Bad.
There’s a lot of things we don’t like or want to do, but in his case obviously he shouldn’t have taken on the job if he didn’t have what it takes. Weakness always invites more trouble, not less.
“Decisive” leadership also means just that. Troops cannot be left circling in the air, or waiting on the tarmac - Go! Stay!

Operation Eagle Claw. Two of the rescue helicopters collided in the desert, killing 8.
As for the 'holier than thou': I distinctly remember this at the time because . . . alcohol. Jimmy was a 'Southern Baptist' and as such did not consume alcohol. Now Jimmy just couldn't not drink himself like Bush did later, no, Jimmy banned alcohol at the White House, including State Dinners. A ticket to a White House State Dinner became worthless under Carter as there were no selections of wine with each course. Because Jimmy didn't drink, neither will you. I call that "holier than thou."

Then, everybody who was “antiwar” all of a sudden got a real hard on for the Ukraine. WTF?
My leftist buddies, in a dissonance so un-cognitive I was left speechless, said we owed it to the guys who fought in Viet Nam to support the Ukraine and rally round the flag, boys.

I wish he would have wimped. He ran away, like Brave Sir Robin.
I agree with the Act of War in taking our Embassy. That is cut and dried diplomatic law. A B-52 special delivery over Qom and other 'religious' cities would have worked wonders.
Oh, and I still hate Shrub when he said 'islam is the religion of peace'. When did Bush get his religious studies degree again? We'll be paying for that deliberate verbal fuckup for decades to come. Hopefully we won't end up in the same place as England, Ireland, hell, Europe overall.

Update: That went both better and worse than Werner had expected. This Herr Anka survived the drop, and lies some forty-six feet below the windowsill. He is currently demanding that all the guys get shirts, and keeps threatening to bring in somebody called Vinny Falcone. This seems to have some meaning beyond Werner's reckoning.
