Overnight Open Thread (12-17-2014)
"When I started playing Bond it became apparent, in 1977, that I would have to leave the UK if I wasn't to pay ninety-eight per cent tax on my salary: an actor's life in the spotlight is short, so we need to look after our pennies, and that's why I decamped to Switzerland with its lovely snow-capped tax benefits."
-- Roger Moore
Dishonest Politifact Announces Its Lie of the Year: Claims About the Threat of Ebola
Only they actually aren't a lie and in fact are generally true. So here are some examples of their choice of 'lie' of the year:
Fox News analyst George Will claimed Ebola could be spread into the general population through a sneeze or a cough, saying the conventional wisdom that Ebola spreads only through direct contact with bodily fluids was wrong."The problem is the original assumption, said with great certitude if not certainty, was that you need to have direct contact, meaning with bodily fluids from someone, because it's not airborne," Will said. "There are doctors who are saying that in a sneeze or some cough, some of the airborne particles can be infectious." False.
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., described Ebola as "incredibly contagious," "very transmissible" and "easy to catch." Mostly False.
Except that as Patterico points out that the CDC published this poster in October which makes the very same claim that George Will was making:
And in regards to Rand's statement of opinion about Ebola Patterico makes this note:
Looking at it another way, "at least anecdotally" (and, let's face it: fact-checkers around the globe universally agree that anecdotal evidence is the Gold Standard for fact-checking), one might anecdotally observe that health-care workers who believed they were taking every precaution and yet inexplicably ended up contracting the disease might come away from that experience saying: gee, it seems like Ebola is easier to catch than I realized!! Why, one might even call it "incredibly contagious" or "easy to catch"!
Because if Paul's statement were in fact truly false, then there would absolutely no reason to wear these kinds of suits when working with ebola patients.
Meanwhile Don Surber points out the REAL lie of the year which alone has caused untold amounts of national harm:
The lie of the year is Dorian Johnson's statement to Wolf Blitzer about the shooting and death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, last August: "I saw the officer proceeding after my friend Big Mike with his gun drawn, and he fired a second shot and that struck my friend Big Mike. And at that time, he turned around with his hands up, beginning to tell the officer that he was unarmed and to tell him to stop shooting. But at that time, the officer firing several more shots into my friend, and he hit the ground and died."
That was a lie. The autopsy and testimony from at least a half-dozen witnesses confirm that Dorian Johnson lied through his teeth.
No Free Speech at Marquette University
The campus Cultural Revolutionaries have now made discussion of forbidden topics and disagreement a crime. And a crime to be dealt with via a Kafkaesque mockery of due process.
Marquette University, the Jesuit school in Milwaukee, has shot itself in the foot again. Weeks ago in a "Theory of Ethics" class, philosophy instructor Cheryl Abbate listed several possible topics of discussion, but said one of them -gay marriage-could not be addressed because any opposition argument would offend homosexual students, and besides society has already agreed that gays can marry. This is a strong pattern for the campus left: topics they want to talk about (e.g., the Keystone pipeline, abolishing fraternities) are discussed endlessly, even in classes where the topics have little or no relevance. But topics they don'twant discussed are banned as "already settled" or as harassment.
Did Marquette overrule Abbate and say that gay marriage can certainly be discussed in class? Or that Catholic doctrine cannot be off limits at a Catholic university? Well, no. Like so many other universities, Marquette passed on the free speech issue and went after a lone professor-John McAdams-who had criticized Marquette's woeful reaction to Abbate in his blog, "Marquette Warrior." The next step was very predictable: Marquette suspended McAdams, said he is under investigation and banned him from the campus, without listing any charges against him. Presumably the unannouced charge is harassment, since the letter from Dean Richard Holz to McAdams ended with a sentence saying "I am enclosing with this letter Marquette's harassment policy..:"
I used to think of universities as loony playgrounds for a few professors (while most did actual work) that ultimately had little impact on the rest of society. But now the toxic insanity is spreading outside of its campus incubators and so I'm now actively rooting for the downfall of modern universities - which is sad because I love learning and intellectual pursuits and hate to see it get torn down along with the circus of dangerous fools that most campuses have become.
Do Voters Actually Hate Gridlock?
Voters are tired of a dysfunctional Washington and want leaders who can make the government work.
But Moe Lane says no way:
...and yet, every trend in American politics since November 5th, 2008 has been in support of a dysfunctional Washington. I know that the Beltway hates hearing this, but the voters keep telling us at the ballot box that they never want to see the horrors of the 111th Congress - the mutant, deranged poster-child for 'functional' government - ever again. That's why we flipped the House in 2010, and the Senate in 2014. That's why we took so many governorships in 2010 and managed to keep them in 2014.
Meet Bill Nye The Anti-Science Guy
I've never been a fan of Bill Nye "the Science Guy." Partly it's because I'm from a different generation. I grew up with Isaac Asimov and Carl Sagan as my introduction to science, and Nye always struck me as a cheap substitute. I find something condescending in his hyperkinetic manner, as if science couldn't actually be interesting and exciting in its own right, as if it could only be interesting if the guy trying to explain it to us is bouncing off the walls. It all seems like Science for People with Attention Deficit Disorder. So you get travesties like Bill Nye supposedly explaining evolution using emojis. It's as dumb as it sounds, which is a shame given how important the theory of evolution is.All of that is harmless enough, I suppose-more a waste of an opportunity than any active kind of evil. If not for the fact that the "science guy" is out undermining the basic creed of science.
Nye has joined with 47 "scientists, science writers, and other experts" who issued a statement "taking the media to task for using the phrase 'climate skeptic,' saying that the word 'denier' is more accurate."
Nye was a little after my time and I've never been a fan of his frenetic style either. Which as Tracinski points out seems to reflect a lack of faith on Nye's part that science is interesting by itself. And then you have the lecturing...
Apparently Enjoying the 'You Had One Job' Meme Means You're A Bad Person Now
And guilty of classism and privilege.
Of course, if you laughed at that little sight, you're probably a bad person. At the very least, you're engaging in some "casual classism." Here's Bovy:"The question is, why this mean-spirited (if sometimes quite funny) meme, and why now? Aren't we supposed to be living in an era of hypersensitivity? Why hasn't the privilege of users of this hashtag been called out? (According to a few minutes of Googling, it has not.) [Emp. mine]"
This is a rather glaring example of one of the Internet's least attractive qualities: grievance hunting. Consider that second parenthetical: Bovy has literally gone looking for outrage about this thing, found none, and told you that you should, in fact, be outraged by it. Or, at the very least, made to feel shame for chuckling about it.
A-10s are now back in the fight. Again.
'Carry That Weight' Activists Get Fined For Dumping Mattresses
This is supposed to be an outrage or something but last I checked dumping soiled mattresses on someone's front door was considered harassment and likely to get you charged with littering among other charges.
In October, Carry That Weight activists - who are helping Columbia University student Emma Sulkowicz carry a mattress similar to the one on which she was raped in order to bring attention to the university's negligence of rape victims - staged a protest in which they left 28 mattresses at the doorstep of university President Lee Bollinger, one for each of the students who had signed a Title IX complaint against the university. In a breathtaking and unintentionally meaningful move, the university promptly threw the 28 mattresses in a dumpster and fined the activists $471 for damaging the mattresses.
In response, the activists left a mattress-sized check (well, OK, it was a check painted onto a mattress) for Bollinger at his doorstep again, asking Bollinger to support the activists. The actual fine has been covered by women's rights nonprofit Ultraviolet, who may have another few dollars to pay out, now.
Guns and the 1965 Boy's Life Ads
Ignore the snark about shooting stuff and marvel over what boy's magazines used to look like. What I remember most about reading Boy's Life occasionally in the middle to late 70s was that its blend of articles on shooting/hunting/sports, biographies, history, stupid jokes, and a bit of man etiquette along with self-improvement was precisely tuned to the exact things that boys would be interested in reading about. I don't think anything like that exists today.
Can you tell the difference?
The Group knows what you did.

Guess I'll commence to burn the last of my "contraband" in the olde humidor. Last few sticks have been in there a full decade, and are in absolutely perfect condition.
They'll go well with breaking the seal on a bottle of Rebecca's Creek Bourbon.
So, once again, the Feckless Fcukwad in D.C. stomps on the lives and sacrifices of those who fought and died for freedom.
Nothing is sacred, and just simply won't be again, until January 2017. And that's only if we're spectacularly lucky and blessed.

Learning and intellectual pursuits are fine and are not going away even if universities are decimated tomorrow.
Realistically, governments should only help fund the STEM subjects and leave everything else to the free market. High school children should be steered into trades and work placement programs designed by business and industry. Those students interested in the STEM subjects should be encouraged to go to university.
For the rest of the children, let the free market decide what an English degree is really worth.
Back to studying...math.

Right. He's an engineer.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Nye's biggest problem, the real fault in his scientist act, is he rejects skepticism and blurts out dogma.

came out and handed me their car keys and a big bag of money. They said
keep it as a gift. Being a person of whiteness rocks balls!"
It's like when I'm out driving, and I get pulled over for speeding, and the cop asks to see my license, and I say, "Oh, my *license*, right?" with a big broad wink.
And then I instead quietly pull out my White Guy Card.
At which point he decides to "let me off with a warning".
And calls me "Sir," of course. I love that part.
Sometimes I'll quietly ask how he intends to make his ticket quota without me, and he'll confide that he'll just go pull someone over for driving while black, and write them up for everything he can find. Haw! Haw!
White Guy Card. Don't leave home without it.

No worries:
Born in Waconia, Minnesota, Herbert was a general science and English major at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse (then called La Crosse State Normal College) who was interested in drama. His career as an actor was interrupted by World War II when he enlisted in the United States Army as a Private. Herbert later joined the United States Army Air Forces, took pilot training, and became a B-24 bomber pilot who flew 56 combat missions from Italy with the 767th Bomb Squadron, 461st Bomb Group of the Fifteenth Air Force. When Herbert was discharged in 1945 he was a Captain and had earned the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal with three oak leaf clusters.

to late 70s was that its blend of articles on shooting/hunting/sports,
biographies, history, stupid jokes, and a bit of man etiquette along
with self-improvement was precisely tuned to the exact things that boys
would be interested in reading about."
As I noted on one of the recent weekend book threads, boys today are absolutely fleeing from reading faster than Dracula fleeing a vial of holy water, and you don't have to look for long to find the cause.
Every bit of reading material which might appeal to boys -- with action, adventure, risk, challenge, and determined male protagonists who square their jaws instead of flapping their gums -- has been purged by educrats in the now ultra-feminized school system.
Replaced with a force-fed diet of introspective talkative pastel chick lit where nothing much happens other than various characters chatting about their feelings. Utterly and appallingly boring to any honest red-blooded young male. Makes reading into a dreadful chore rather than an enjoyable pastime.
I chose not to delve into the question whether this change was deliberately inflicted, or rather just collateral damage courtesy of the Girls Rule, Boys Drool movement.
I continue to decline to do so. As one fictional male protagonist once said, it is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.

Gingy didn't really like the Shadow, she felt it didn't "fit" her right. It was supposed to be ultimately her bike. I can tell you this, I don't think she's going to be much more than a backseat rider on the Hog, that thing is to the Honda what a race car is to a Cavalier.

The New York Times reported this evening that North Korea is "centrally involved" in the hack, citing unnamed U.S. intelligence officials. It's unclear from the Times
report what "centrally involved" means and whether the intelligence
officials are saying the hackers were state-sponsored or actually agents
of the state. The Times also notes that "It is not clear how
the United States came to its determination that the North Korean regime
played a central role in the Sony attacks." The public evidence
pointing at the Hermit Kingdom is flimsy.

Eh, shonen doesn't really appeal to me, and the whole Arthurian-style knights and castles thing has been done to death (Fate series, Dragonar, Familiar of Zero). Even deconstructed (Mayou).
This year's new anime has been really disappointing in my opinion. The only series I even remotely liked were No Game No Life and The Irregular at Magic High School, and neither one had a proper ending.

To the latter, "Team America" and the "Red Dawn" remake and "Olympus Has Fallen", and several other movies (and books), have cast the Norks as the baddies. The Japanese who run Sony had a reasonable expectation that the Norks were fair-game over here.
To the former, well, at a $42m budget, they likely figured they'd get that back over a Dec / Jan release schedule. Not *much* gets put out over January. Might as well watch the latest Rogan flick.

If memory serves, in the Eighth Air Force in the same theater of operations, you'd have been sent home before the 56-mission mark.
The kicker is that nearly no one made that mark.
Likewise in Vietnam. 100 missions north to Hanoi in the F-105 and you had your ticket back to the States and safety.
Except that for a big chunk of the war, it was close to mathematically impossible to do 100 missions without either dying or ending up as a long term guest in the Hanoi Hilton.

It's very shonen, generally lighthearted atmosphere and the main hero is (or appears to be) a young boy. Although when I say Arthurian, I literally mean Arthurian. A young new king of the small kingdom Camelot, Arthur war recently introduced. His advisory is one of the Nanatsu no Taizai, Merlin.

The Norks are Korean separatists; "the cleanest race" as one book puts it. But they just can't seem to keep themselves from fucking with other races, starting with the Japanese and other Koreans, and moving outward from there.
A white separatist nation might also start out asserting its unique identity but then go look outward... for "strategic concerns", or whatever.

[But how is that possible BurtTC, you're never wrong!]
If only that were true, imaginary responder, but alas, I did say the ebola story would no longer be a national story, and I said that sometime in August or September, I believe.
Obviously it lasted up until, and maybe slight after, the election in November.
Still, I was right about essentially everything else regarding ebola (although some objected to my statement that if you were NOT having sex with a Liberian you really had nothing to worry about). That was a bit harsh. And slightly exaggerated.

None of these AGW hystericists actually has a degree in climatology.
Meanwhile Dr. David Legates - someone with, you know, a real degree in climatology - got booted as the Director for the Center for Climate Research at the University of Deleware and subsequently shunned by all right-thinking people for his apostasy complaining that he was wrongly grouped in with the 97% in the IPCC report.

There're some great books out there for kids. One of my favorites is "Hatchet" by Paulsen.
When I was in school my favorite books were the Walter Farley books, the most well known of which is "The Black Stallion." Kids need to be taken to book stores and the library. I wouldn't leave children's literature up to the people teaching in our schools.
Once kids get interested in a genre, like science fiction, they'll read.

As a geologist, Mike Mann should know better. After even a cursory study of historical geology it becomes blinding obvious that the climate of the Earth has bounced between very warm and very cold many times over the span of its existence, and none of those prior changes in climate was caused by humans, by simple virtue of the fact that there weren't any around.
And the other blindingly obvious conclusion is that the warm periods were times when Earth was teeming with life of all kinds, and the cold periods saw a huge drop in abundance and diversity of life of all kinds.

Now, let us examine your motivations. (Stay with me, cuz the ride is gonna get bumpy). You want us to capitulate to what amounts to an attack on our very Country by NK, or a proxy, by just....giving up and saying we should not offend any other Country, ever, with our policies?

You prepare them with bacon, brown sugar, and vinegar. It's similar
to German red cabbage, or German potato salad. It's a good way to use up
cheap, canned green beans.
Bacon - check
Brown sugar - hmm... maybe, maybe not
Vinegar - white, cider, or red wine vinegar?
My variant: garlic and onion (powder), slivered mushrooms, bacon.
German red cabbage -- bacon and apples
German potato salad -- just add mustard (dark-coarse grind / horseradish-based optional)

471 Just cause real diversity exists here. My job wants to send me to train our lab in Germany. To do all the things similar to how we have been doing them here in the US for continuity. The plan is 6 months of me training them. Does anyone have input on how to get up to speed on the german language quick especially technical terms. I know some basics of German vocabulary and am way better at understanding than speaking. I probably have 6 months to lay a decent groundwork of the language.

You've got a pretty good chance that a lot of them speak English. And you could always pick up Rosetta stone and do some of that stuff. Hell see if your company will buy it for you. Maybe even doing that "Talk to a native speaker" stuff ace mentioned and asking them about the technical terms.

Well if you only saw it in theaters then you didn't see the full sex scene that is on the unrated dvd.
The doll sex scene in the theaters was pretty bad. I thought it was supposed to be a little kid's movie that had puppets in it. So, I took my kids to see it in the theater. I remember noticing that my kids - and one lone man with his little boy - were the only kids in the theater. That was the first "hint" that this was not a puppet movie for kids....

Ecofeminism is struck dumb with fear when asked to contemplate whether Gaia would be inflicted with toxic shock syndrome if one were to bury a soiled tampon in one's otherwise Gaia-friendly cathole after pooping in it.

Ironically ( I know, I know), neither of those two are explicitly Christmas songs. They are seasonal songs, that tend to get played at that time of year.

"It is thought that the mummies were buried around 1,500 years ago, between the 1st and 7th Century AD, when Egypt was controlled by the Roman and Byzantine Empire."
Egypt was a crossroads and probably a place of genetic intermingling for millennia.

You start with salt pork. You chop it into little pieces. You add an onion or so. You fry them til you get the Menard reaction.
You throw in green beans, and cook slowly, oh, so slowly, for about 4 hours.
You eat til you fall down.

Collapsed during a matinee performance of the Broadway comedy "The Play What I Wrote", but finished the show after a 10-minute break. Roger was playing the part of the mystery guest star, which the cameo role is filled by celebrities, when he fainted toward the end of the second act. He was taken to the hospital after the show. The following day he was fitted with a pacemaker - something he had been previously told he would eventually have to get. (May 2003)
It seems as if Moore had a bad heart for some time, so maybe that's why he didn't run in movies.

Well within range of NK missiles.
Seeing Hollywood spanked is lots of fun ... and I think that EVERYONE sees their absolute lack of huevos rancheros ...
... but, at some point, we need to stand up to "Chubby Boy" Kim. When? Tokyo will always be in range, there's no getting around that fact.
Whomever is really behind this, and I think it's Kim, has seen that this sort of threat pays off. Civilians are targets now, and the first target. Will the threat(s) really be executed?
