Overnight Open Thread (5-20-2015)

Quote of the Day I

Only under the peculiarities of America's mainstream media could you have an interviewer interviewing a man who has written a book disclosing the dodgy donations to the Clinton Foundation without the interviewer disclosing that he himself is a donor to the foundation.

-- Mark Steyn

Quote of the Day II

No, members of the mainstream media are presumptively hacks, and the pain and misery they endure as their organizations convulse and die should inspire laughter and joy. Sure, there are honest reporters out there, but that's only a fluke of statistics. There have to be some, if only because of the random vagaries of chance. They can get real jobs with the new media. But in general, MSM members' pain is our gain.

Remember, they hate us. Hate us. They don't merely not care about us. They don't simply misunderstand us. They hate what we think. They hate how we live. They hate what we believe. They hate us.

-- Kurt Schlichter

Quote of the Day III

What doesn't kill me, makes me sadder.

-- Victor Davis Hanson in Pathei Mathos

Quote of the Day IV

"Fancy a rump?"

-- The irresistible pick-up line of Welsh ladiesman, Mike Holpin, who's managed to father 'around 40' children, support none of them, and avoid having to have a jay-oh-bee for 13 years running. His secret weapons? Plenty of Fish, lowered standards, Costanza-ism, and an utter lack of shame.

William Saletan at Slate Has Perhaps Written the Most Idiotic Piece on ISIS That I Have Ever Read

I thought this might be a bit of hyperbole until I read the piece - and holy crap - Saletan really has managed to achieve a new density of general dumbness, logic FAIL, stolen rhetorical bases, strawmen, and deliberate, dishonest conflation within a single article.

In short his argument is that ISIS and the GOP say (and believe) in the same things. To wit:

  1. This is a war between Muslims and non-Muslims.
  2. Coexistence is impossible.
  3. Islam is a religion of war.

There's so much stupid thinking crammed into this one post that it could take a week of blogging to unpack it all but I'll just point out two problems with his argument to start you off with: 1) he takes it as a given that these statements could not possibly be true and 2) he can't seem to produce any actual quotes by GOP politicians or leaders making any of the above statements. And it goes downhill from there.

So What Now?

mattressgirlgraduates

Meanwhile there's a new twist to the whole 'mattress girl' saga: there was fourth allegation of sexual assault  - on a man - against Nungesser that was only dismissed this April.

But as in the other cases the complainant's own Facebook postings from the time severely undermined his story - to the point that investigators found his claims 'hyperbolic and illogical' and concluded that he was simply 'unreliable'. Nungesser seems to have had the misfortune of falling into a pit of vipers his freshman year, where members of the shared social circle were totally wiling to collaborate and concoct claims of sexual assault against him in order to show support for the victim of a rape that never occurred.

Now if this were a movie, Nungesser would get a law degree and then spend the next twenty years making all of his accusers' lives hell. Extra twist: He becomes a top defense attorney and has the guilty clients he gets off do all the dirty work for him. But in the real world the best he can probably hope for is to get some kind of settlement from Columbia and making sure that Google never ever forgets the accusers' names.

60 Regarding WeirdDave's headline about Vox:

I don't think this is blind pigs and acorns at all. Rather, I think that this is an opening shot towards a push for single payer.

Note that Vox doesn't connect the crumminess of health plans to ObamaCare (not that one would expect them to). Instead, they carefully connect increasing deductibles for employees to shrinking deductibles for employers, so, once again, the underlying problem is corporate greed. And what's the cure for corporate greed? No, no, not less corporate welfare; it's more government.

148 I want to talk to someone who might either care or understand.

Having read Genesis by H. Beam Piper, which is a sci-fi story about an almost failed attempt to colonize earth from Mars, and thinking about the Denisovian genes showing up in Siberia and being found in Nepal as a survival for altitude adaption...

(http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/18105?)

I was thinking: If you were moving from a dying, cold, thin aired, sea-less planet, where would you land at? Siberia? Kazakhstan? Where it was like home and had more brackish shallow lakes than you have ever seen in anyone's life and away from those scary jungles and violent seas?

I think modern science had a bad effect on pulp sci-fi.

I understand you personally are getting killed with this crap, and, I in no way approve of or agree with that.

I was simply trying to explain what I understand to be the cause of the movement to tax the 1%ers more. They, as a class, are calling for higher taxes on all of us to pay for their idealistic programs. As this class is advocating for all this spending and getting it through by their donation power, this class should pay more as well. It is about the only way that this class will STFD and STFU about the fact that I need to pay more for their ideals.

You are a friendly fire casualty using this argument, which absolutely sucks for you as an individual, agreed.

Until it hurts the rest of the class, how do we get them to stop?

I wonder if it pisses ISIS off that Obama is taking credit for all of their success?

196 If you are subject to AMT, the absolute worst case scenario is 28% tax on all income. And that's if you can't deduct anything, which wile technically possible under AMT is highly unlikely.

198 Big stretch of AMT eliminates $0.25 of your deduction for each additional dollar of income. So 35% in that long stretch. Between that and other deductions you lose the rates for the upper brackets are a lie. I feel blessed to know about such things but it doesn't make them fair or honest.

209 This is a stab from the past -- Rush Limbaugh in the bear pit of national television, in the 1980s, guest-hosting the Pat Sajak show.

An utterly feral audience of slavering leftwing nutjobs showed up in the studio audience and went absolutely apeshit. What an ugly spectacle:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/l6by4zh

I will say this: think what you like about Limbaugh, but he doesn't lack courage. Not many could face a slavering mob like that. On the good side -- most of the audience agreed with Rush and gave him a standing O.

But the end of the clip was poignant.

What I'm really hoping for is President Perry or Cruz implements a flat tax, so I only need a single card and a check to do this in the future...because a 20% flat tax (still too high, but a start until some of the debt is paid down) would have me happily standing in the rain like Tim Robbins after crawling through hundreds of yards of sh*t in Shawshank Redemption

245 Somebody sent me this the other day. It's a promotional film about Willow Grove Park in 1956.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfQedCO5izk


This is local to me. I was born after the film was made, but before the park was torn down to make way for a shopping mall in the late 70s. I don't know whether I went to the park myself, but I vaguely remember the sign at the entrance.

This was a famous amusement park in its time. It predated the big chain parks like Disney and Six Flags. John Phillip Sousa and his band regularly played concerts there in the early years of the 20th century.

America in 1956 was a little before my time. But I grew up in an America that was still recognizable.

246 60 Regarding WeirdDave's headline about Vox:

I don't think this is blind pigs and acorns at all. Rather, I think that this is an opening shot towards a push for single payer.

Note that Vox doesn't connect the crumminess of health plans to ObamaCare (not that one would expect them to). Instead, they carefully connect increasing deductibles for employees to shrinking deductibles for employers, so, once again, the underlying problem is corporate greed. And what's the cure for corporate greed? No, no, not less corporate welfare; it's more government.

280 At one point, an ex-boss who was pissed about something regarding our lease directed me to write a complaint letter every day about our facilities. So I filled letter-after-letter about their staff gardeners planting flowers and removing them two weeks later before they'd bloomed, and the painted stripes in the parking lot alternating between bicycles and Sherman tanks....but IMHO my crowning achievement came on a day they'd overwatered the lawn and one of our gals had lost a heel, there was a spotting of a mouse near one-end of the building (not our end) and a cockroach spotted next to a common-area bathroom: ".....but, other than working in a vermin-filled cockroach-infested swamp, we're doing fine."

320 I was simply trying to explain what I understand to be the cause of the movement to tax the 1%ers more. They, as a class, are calling for higher taxes on all of us to pay for their idealistic programs. As this class is advocating for all this spending and getting it through by their donation power, this class should pay more as well. It is about the only way that this class will STFD and STFU about the fact that I need to pay more for their ideals.

You are a friendly fire casualty using this argument, which absolutely sucks for you as an individual, agreed.

Until it hurts the rest of the class, how do we get them to stop?


It's a dumb argument because those you are targeting - the limousine libs, the Warren Buffets, the Matt Damons - don't pay income tax like the rest of us. Matt Damon doesn't get a check for $10 million to make a movie, MatDaCo Inc. does, which then distributes the money to him, if at all, under a more favorable tax structure (say as a qualified dividend which has a max rate of 20%). Raise the tax rate to 95% and it won't effect those people.

It will effect the doctors (Crank), the business owners (me) and a lot of other people, many of who are the actual producers in this economy, and are thus conservative.

I realize that it's "too late" at this point, and not to critique the entire concept of "adoption," but....

Generally, on average, the kind of people who do the adopting are responsible, intelligent, stable, foresightful, empathetic.

Generally, on average, the kind of people who give their natural-born birth children up for adoption are more irresponsible, shortsighted, lunk-headed, flighty, and emotionally disconnected.

If you think about it, it necessarily must be a self-selection process that leads to this tendency on either side. What in the world would cause a woman to voluntarily just give away her baby?

Well, she generally has some combination of:
- Can't bond with it (emotional problems)
- Didn't want it (irresponsible)
- Doesn't know how to take care of it (lunk-headed)
- Can't visualize a future with it (shortsighted)
- etc. etc.

And the kind of people who qualify for becoming adoptive parents generally are the opposite in all those categories.

Now, obviously there will be exceptions, and not everyone giving up their baby has all of those attributes, nor has them to the extreme, or has them at all. But on average, the self-selection process will inevitably tend to the stereotypes described above.

Now, we don't know to what extent these personality traits are heritable, or merely caused by environment. Adoptive parents are operating on the principle that the antisocial traits of the biological parents are all (or almost all) due to bad nurture/environment, which can be completely turned around if the offspring gets raised in a good environment.

But that assumption may be a bit naive. As with everything we've discovered to far with humans, it's probably a 50-50 proposition -- personality traits are half caused by environment, and half caused by genetics.

Which means that there is a good chance that any adoptive baby is going to have some dysfunctional or antisocial trait which has a genetic basis, and which will therefore be very difficult to overcome with good parenting.

Example: Some nearby neighbors of mine adopted a baby girl about 15 years ago. They purposely chose a baby from a birth mother who was physically attractive. And the biological father was a hunk too.

So they reasoned that they were getting a daughter who was going to grow up gorgeous, with all the attendant life-advantages that might bring to her.

Guess what? They were right. By five she was "cute," by ten she was unarguably "pretty," and by 15 she was smokin'.

But my neighbors didn't really seem to care much that the biological father was, basically, a moronic blockhead (with rippling muscles and a symmetrical square jaw) who just knocked people up and forgot about them. And that the mother, while gorgeous, didn't really know how to live life or make a dime, and was unemployed, uneducated, had no plans, no man, and didn't really seem to care about her baby much. She just wanted to "have a good time" and "party."

So that, despite what they thought was the best parenting humanly possible from the moment they brought her home...their 15-year adoptive daughter has become the bitch from hell, screaming abuse at them constantly, demanding everything, disappearing with boys, you name it. Also: terrible grades at school, and constant fights with girls in rival cliques (over sexual intrigue, usually).

It's pretty obvious to those who know the family that her behavior is NOT the result of anything they did "wrong," but instead is the result of the genetically-influenced personality traits she inherited from her biological parents.

I know that is just one anecdote, but it meshes with the averages cited above.

Basically: Adopting a child (at least in our current system) is a risky proposition, because as good as the nurture you give it, you may not be able to overcome the nature.

386 Yup. Ace nailed the David Letterman thing. I was a huge fan in the 80s....went to see him live at the Chicago Theater and that was a really fun night. But over the years I followed pretty much the same path as Ace, to the point where you would have to pay me to watch his television show. Glad his BitterFest is over, give zero shits as to what happens to him now, but I assume this will just free up more time to bang the help.

I still watch Conan every once in a while, and while his schtick seems a bit tired now, he is a genuinely funny comedic writer. Craig Ferguson was my recent favorite. He genuinely seemed to like people, in an egalitarian way, quirks, foibles and all. I watch him on Celebrity Name Game now and find it amusing that he went from talk show host to game show host in a reverse of the usual pattern.

I'm getting too old to be lugging a mattress around, and too in love with my wife to want to.

But, I always like to look at proffered logical arguments from the left, and see how they could play out if used across the board.

And I'm thinking that if every guy who never gets a second date from a woman, and every guy who is supporting his ex wife in the alimony provided manner in which she wishes to become accustomed to starts squawking about rape, someone might take notice.
