Evening Open Thread: Things Which Are Awful Edition
Pretty much that just means "here's the usual."
Things that are awful: Hillary Clinton, and establishment White Woman feminists' insistence that you only don't like her because she's a woman, rather than because she's awful. Wendy Davis says you can't give Sanders credit as a revolutionary, and deny that credit to Hillary, because Hillary can't call for revolution. Men just can't get behind a woman calling for revolution.

1. Jeb Bush, the anointed Republican nominee, was laughed out of the race and then curb-stomped into toothless irrelevance by media and voters both right and left, dashing the dreams of the Establishment.
2. Ted Cruz is not only still in the running, he's moved to the front of the pack and now has a good chance at winning.
3. Hillary has become so morally damaged that even if she wins the nomination she will limp into the general election permanently hobbled by the highest negatives and the general disapproval of almost everyone except hardcore Democrat diehards.
4. Sanders has made no attempt to hide his communist past, so that he will be easy pickin's to destroy if he wins the nomination.
Bad News Regarding the Presidential Election Thus Far:
1. Trump is such a loose cannon that if he wins the nomination, it's possible he could implode in a blinding fireball of self-imposed gaffetastic oafishness, and in the process hand the election to the Dem candidate, however damaged and/or "unelectable" they may be.
2. Sanders is, incredibly, still a viable candidate, with the highest "enthusiasm rating."
3. The GOP field is an embarrassing circular firing squad. By the time nomination day rolls around, there may be no one left standing.
4. Leftists still dominate the media and "the national zeitgeist," so we'll have to spend the next 10 months arguing about Stupid Shit.
All in all, "good" and "bad" are about tied.

Is it time to go gutter? OK, I'm totally going gutter.
There's a controversy over whether this guy's dick is real or prosthetic. It's in a music video. Scroll all the way to like the 3:00 mark because for the rest of the time he's just standing in front of the water and seen from the waist up.
Then the camera pans. And keeps panning. And it defies expectations.
So this is all the NSFW.
The link is in Krautish but the video is just a video so you can figure it out.

She adamantly maintained the "right of asylum" in Sweden. When asked if asylum meant the destruction of Sweden by the imposition of Sharia by the refugees, would that be enough to deny asylum. That minister said, "the right of asylum is very strong". And added she was only telling what the rules were. She had no opinion on anything else.

There was a fucking grammatical error in a dismissal brief I just got through filing with the court. I didn't even realize it was there until I was looking over a PDF of the brief later. It doesn't affect the substance, but it sure as shit looks embarrassing. That's awful.

For the past 10 years or so, EWF used to tour with Chicago and at the end of the show, they would join each other onstage and do a super jam of all their tunes.
I regret not going to see that one, but I did see EWF back in '88 at Radio City Music Hall and it was a superb show - one of the best I ever saw of any genre of music.

You know, activist types out in the grassroots and on the Internet blogs often grab the bit in their teeth and go off aggressively, without bothering to get the details first about what's really going on.
It's a good thing we have sober voices like Mr. Medved to help hold our conservative movement together behind bold young leaders like Marco.

Bertram, thanks for the Medved Update. He really has passed into unserious territory. Somewhat puzzling, why mass illegal migration, with all its pernicious consequences, is an IQ test that so many otherwise non-cretinous people consistently fail.
And it is an IQ test, policy-wise. Anything remotely resembling amnesty - no, anything NOT constituting a straightforward return to normal rule of law in this area - is simply idiotic.
Sure, the infantile moral narcissism of amnesty types is pathetic and repulsive, and is the sort of thing that has given us the catastrophic "War on Poverty" and other policy calamities. But it's the stupidity, the unworkability, of the idea that stands out (even assuming, absurdly, that the Rube Goldberg design would actually be enforced, unlike all current law).
There isn't the slightest question that anything other than return to rule of law will guarantee - guarantee - massive, probably indefinite, continuation of mass illegal migration. There will be no credible path of return to normal, lawful, intelligent practices, as the illegals are rational actors, and after observing/experiencing the last 30 years' debate, will rightly conclude that de facto open borders are permanent.

He was a camp cook and had to cut a guy to establish his bonafides. And this was after he shot and killed 2 other guys, which first got him prison and then the gang. My blood kin that went to prison or the gang was just run-of-the-mill moonshiners. Not a killer in the whole bunch. Unless you count WW II.

The left is willing to do that because they know immigration trumps other issues (so to speak). Bring in another 20 million yearning socialists and the left locks itself in power permanently...

Short synopsis: 10 episodes. Russia initiates a 'silk glove' (non-violent) invasion of Norway.
Swap out the Ruskies for Syrians, etc. (like the new version of 'Red Dawn' did with the Chinese becoming Norks) and then watch it with an eye toward how the Norwegians react.
One downside - have to watch it with subtitles when they start doing the herbda berbda flookinloosa scandi talk.

Is it time to go gutter? OK, I'm totally going gutter.
There's a controversy over whether this guy's dick is real or prosthetic. It's in a music video. Scroll all the way to like the 3:00 mark because for the rest of the time he's just standing in front of the water and seen from the waist up.
Then the camera pans. And keeps panning. And it defies expectations.
So this is all the NSFW.
The link is in Krautish but the video is just a video so you can figure it out.

She was a young folk singer in Portland in '64 but couldn't find many gigs there so moved down to San Francisco where all the action was. She still couldn't find any paying gigs, so she was at an open mike night in early '65 at a folkie club in the Marina District where she knew the bartender. After her set, she went back to the bar and her friend pointed to some long-haired dude standing off to the side and said, "That guy liked your singing and wants to meet you."
So she went over to shake the guy's hand and he said, "Hi, my name is Paul. Me and a buddy want to start a band but neither of us can really sing, so we were looking for a lead singer. Wanna be our frontwoman?"
So of course she said yes, and they soon after got a gig promoting the opening of a new coffee shop/nightclub. The band didn't even have a name -- the flyer just said "Come to the grand opening of [coffee shop] -- with LIVE MUSIC!"
She said the people at the opening cared more about the band than the did about the dumb cafe, and due to popular demand they kept playing there night after night.
Eventually people kept asking what the name of the band was (they still didn't have one), so after one show they all sat around brainstorming for a name. One of the band members (I forget who) had a cat named Jefferson, so he blurted out, randomly, "Jefferson!" Moments later, Kantner, also blurted out a random name suggestion, "Airplane!"
Everyone looking at each other and laughed -- and they agreed that the randomly assembled (and meaningless) name "jefferson Airplane was to be their new name.
Within weeks they got a record contact, released their first album, went on national tour, and became quite famous.
But then Anderson became pregnant in '66 and after almost two years with the band decided it wouldn't be healthy to raise a baby on tour. So she decided to bow out and quit the band, and devote time to her family instead.
There was a rival band in SF at the time called The Great Society, who had two local hits called "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit, written by their lead singer Grace Slick and her husband Darby Slick. After Signe announced she planned to quit, the Airplane poached grace Slick from the less-successful Great Society, and she not only abruptly switched bands, but she brought her to minor hits songs with her, infuriating her original band!
Nothing they could do -- she had co-written them, so they were her songs.
Now with Grace on lead vocals, they re-recorded both songs and put them on the second album, and the rest is history. Both became top ten national hits and instant classics, and based on them JA was invited to headline Monterey Pop.
The rest of the story is well-known.

Pitiable, really. He's trapped in that he has a profound need to be seen as an equal within his own family and can't figure out a way to bow out gracefully now. So its going to be hella damaging to him as he gets ground down to nothing.

And since #2 is a consequence of #1, in the end, there can be only one.

After my initial tepid response to the first episode, I settled in and began to really enjoy it. I haven't read the books so I can't say if it is a faithful adaptation, but I do like the clash of cultures between Belters and the folks who live in the Gravity Well -- though C. J. Cherryh did it better IMO.
Do the books get into the history of expansion through the solar system? Who settled Mars? Is Mars martial, and if so why?

Lessee . . . fat has 9 kcal/gm; alcohol 7 kcal/gm; 1 pound = 453.59 gm.
Now, I been drinkin', but that comes out that 5 pounds of fat is 583 grams of pure, 200-proof alcohol.
At .789 gm/cm3, that's 739 cc of alcohol.
Let's call it 24 ounces of pure grain alcohol.
That should make you happy. Or dead. Depends on your tolerance.
