Monday Mid-Morning Open Thread
Mr. CBD is still under the weather. He asked me if I knew anything about art. I said sure, once upon a time my favorite show on PBS was The Joy of Painting with some guy named Bob Ross.
I heard there was consoling taking place over the weekend.

The Toulemouche is interesting. I wish it were larger. There's real emotion going on.
As for consolation and this weekend...nearly all my friends are liberals, especially my ex-girlfriends. So it wasn't a surprise that the black girl went to the thing in Philly, the Scandi girl went to DC, the Japanese girl's son went to DC, the local hippie girl went to Hartford. Fine.
(And this may be an argument to get off facebook because othwerise I wouldn't know these things).
You know what surprised me? The other girl who went to DC? My actual ex-wife and mother of my children.

The sooner studio executives realize that movie stars don't sell tickets like they used to (if they ever actually did) the better.
Will Smith might be the only man in Hollywood that people go to the movies purely because he's in a film, but even then, he does have After Earth in his credits.

WASHINGTON (WTHR) - Dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster posted the definition of "facts" after the counselor to President Donald Trump used the phrase "alternative facts" in an interview on Meet the Press.
The dictionary company noticed searches for the word "facts" spiked after Kellyanne Conway's appearance on Sunday's Meet the Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- A "sister rally" that patterned the Women's March in Washington D.C., across the country, and even worldwide, also happened in downtown Indianapolis Saturday, on the lawn of the Indiana State Capitol.
Indiana State Police said they estimated around 4,000 to 5,000 people turned out to stand in solidarity in support for women's rights, civil rights and everyone's rights. It wasn't a protest, but rather a peaceful demonstration for the people by the people.
For Josh of Indianapolis, he says he was there to support his girlfriend and her reproductive rights. "I support her and her healthcare needs and any rights that are taken away from her is the same as being taken away from a man with the same mindset," he said. "I'm out here trying to inspire other men to join the cause."

The best part is the scroungy bit of gristle that is her husband.
He's such a whipped dog that all he can do is stay very, very still and stare at his hands clasped in his lap,
while his wife screeches out the lie (IMHO) about his mother dying.
At no point, does he ever acknowledge what she is saying or try to get her to calm down.
He probably knows how this ends-
with her berating his ass for 5 hours and then another hour or so with the dog leash and strap-on.

Nice painting - hate to link it to the loons this weekend.
Speaking of loons, Instapundit had a few nice links about Hollywood, one, very eye-opening about their accounting practices, and creating separate "companies" for each film to basically embezzle money back to the studios but still saying they didn't make a "profit" on the film.
https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/
How Hollywood Accounting Can Make a $450 Million Movie 'Unprofitable'
Here is an amazing glimpse into the dark side of the force that is Hollywood economics. The actor who played Darth Vader still has not received residuals from the 1983 film "Return of the Jedi" because the movie, which ranks 15th in U.S. box office history, still has no technical profits to distribute.
other headlines he links

====================
An interesting question is:
Will the Democratic Party be able to reorient their grassroots to taking local races with the same energy that they take national races?
I get the feeling that the activist left is very much tied to the idea of federal power, and most of the younger generation has been convinced that the federal government is the only one that really matters.
Can they be moved to have the patience to fight for county seats, spend years building, and then taking state governments?
If you had asked me in about 2010 if I thought the right could do it, I'd have said "probably not" because I wouldn't have believed that we would have had enough patience.

Heh, that only scratches the surface...
My first job out of college was as a National Bank Examiner for the US Treasury. I was working in Los Angeles and one of the banks in my portfolio had done some financing for a studio. Had, past tense, because their analysts couldn't figure out the nonsense that the studio was sending them inre financials for their movies. This forced them to classify the loans per federal regulations, which required the bank to reserve against the value of the loans, which impacted the bank's profitability.
And as a NBE, I was required to go over the loan files of all classified loans, and I gotta tell you...nonsense is the polite term.

As long as the GOP runs congress, I'm not worried.

Thanks bluebell.
He's still in the hospital, with some precarious problems. He's come through a lot (a Code B, multiple heart failures) but he is still fighting.
My biggest concern is that he's been in ICU for so long he cannot swallow anymore, and is still being fed by tube/fluids. The latest throat swallow test failed again. Somehow he needs to strengthen it.
Tough going, but he's so much better than 2 months ago.
Thanks again.

I honestly don't think anything Trump is doing with respect to his businesses crosses any ethical line, I will say though that I think he should simply sell any property that gets a check from the government or simply buy out the lease, just for the optics.

I don't live in Indiana, but it's my understanding that the changes made to the RFRA actually makes things worse for those it's supposed to help. I.e., the legal situation was better before the initial passage.

Gleaning from my FB feed, many of the Lefties
fear Pence more than Trump since he is more politically adept (?) and actually has conservative principles on such things as SSM and abortion etc..
Posted by: McCool at January 23, 2017 11:03 AM (lWCRE)
======================
Maybe the hope is that the taint of a successful impeachment would color the Republican Party for a generation, much like Watergate did.
Pence as President could be an acceptable risk if Republicans are all seen as corrupt and untrustworthy, limiting their ability to win down ticket races and implementing agendas.

I'd be interested to see what a real review of the voter roles in California would uncover.
Does the federal government have any power into forcing such an action of a state run election? I get the feeling that it would be a no because the constitution is pretty explicit about letting states run them, but then again, we have the VRA.

I pointed out that our By-laws stated that we conducted all meetings in accordance with Roberts Rules.
Then I asked if she had read our By-Laws now that she is a named Officer of our legally corporation.

The Electoral College tends to somewhat offset the effect of a State loading their voting rolls with millions of illegal votes.
You may lose that State, but the overall effect of the extra millions of illegal votes is somewhat mitigated at the national level.

Since you brought up the Packers...
Did McCarthy even game plan for the Falcons? Seriously, the offense was out of sorts (hey, maybe we should pick up the blitzing linebacker coming straight up the middle). The defense was, well, it was the same smoke and mirrors that finally got exposed. I think Capers' plan for each game is - get 3 or 4 timely sacks, one timely fumble recovery, and one timely interception - and hope that the opposing receivers drop the ball and that the RB runs into his O-line.
BLAH.

Had a friend who was up in park city Saturday to see a Sundance film. Had no clue that there would be a protest. Apparently it was a complete and utter crapfest. They encourage parking far away from downtown in set parking areas and using shuttles to get around. But between the snow and the protestor crazy they shut the shuttles down! So to get around your options we're taking the city buses, running every half hour, and walking. Three miles between the parking area and park city Main Street. She made it to her film but it was insane.

"Every action we take will be designed to ensure our military is ready to fight today and in the future.

Further, we are devoted to gaining full value from every taxpayer dollar spent on defense, thereby earning the trust of Congress and the American people."

If he gets three or four seats, look for Roe to go bye bye.
I found an article containing a constellation of liberal legal scholars who blasted Roe as horrible law written on unsound principles.
One went so far as to say the best thing that could happen to the judiciary is its repeal.

I'm neutral on abortion, but Roe is bad law. It's also one of the cornerstones of where we are now with SCOTUS intervening in all sorts of social issues it has no right overseeing.

BUT... if everyone has birth control, then we won't NEED abortion will we....
So, we'll give you free birth control, as soon as you agree to stop killing children.

Yeah, let's see that hold up in court.
This is Cheney 2.0. Remember the leftist court battles and chants of impeachment, and calls for war crimes trials(that goes on even today) because Cheney had been on the BOD of Haliburton prior to his running for VP. He left his position with Halliburton two years before becoming VP, had sold a lot of his shares of Halliburton stock, and put the rest in a blind trust.
But all we have heard forever from the leftists is that we went to Iraq for the oil and to enrich Halliburton and Cheney. I also recall everytime Halliburton won a bid from the US government to restore infrastructure in Iraq because they were the only company with the ability to do some of the projects, a zillion lawsuits from these sham leftists organizations would clog the courts screaming about war profiteering.

Local news did a story on it. I went after work to buy one and they were all sold out. This was on Thursday Jan. 19. Counter girl told me they were taking orders for Saturday. That means they were 100% booked for Friday.

Abortion is not a form of birth control, and nobody is banning the sale
of contraceptives, so I don't understand.
Their logic is: Access = Rights, so if you hinder their "access"" to birth control (by making them pay for it) or abortion (by regulating it, limiting by gestational age of baby) you are denying them their "rights".
Yeah, it's BS, but they have to characterize anything that isn't 100% in line with their demands as OMG!scary! to get women marching, voting for Dems.

"I don't get why health insurance should pay for birth control,unless you are taking them for medical reasons."
A lot of doctors were "finding" "medical reasons" for birth control prescriptions other than contraception so that they would be covered under health care plans. Expect this to continue.

First, leftists do not agree with the actual definition of a right.
The conservative definition is that a a right is something given by God that man cannot take away. Right to life is an example. No human can give you life, once there is a meeting of egg and sperm, life will commence. Man cannot simply take ingredient a and ingredient b and create life.
Actual rights are not to be given nor taken by government or another man. Such as your life.
(Let's not get into death penalty, etc.)
Leftists believe that a right is anything they want the government to do for you. So therefore, anything they say is a right , is a right. Right to abortion, right to contraception, right to marriage, right to health care, etc.
So to them, reproductive rights means that whatever they choose to do to determine whether they reproduce or not is a right. They have a right to contraception, they have a right to abortion to remove what they have started to reproduce. And because in their mind it's a right, they are to be supported in those choices which means if they can't or won't pay for it, they are to be given their "right" by the government and be provided those rights financially.
Never mind that they had a free choice from the get go to not have sex and therefore, exercise their "right" to not reproduce. So in essence, they have turned having sex into a right.
You could drive yourself nuts trying to understand their thinking. But what it boils down to is a juvenile line of thinking that they have no responsibility for anything they want to do and the rest of society must pay and support them in their decisions. It is socialistic thinking from immature and inexperienced children.

I think McCarthy is a good coach who is prone to brain farts when it matters most and it has cost the Packers playoff games in the past.
This wasn't one of them.
They were running on vapors and heart going into the game, so many not just hurt but injured players suiting up...Rodgers didn't even sound like himself, so his "bug" was in full effect still. Secondary in tatters, blah blah blah.
They would have had a hard time against Atlanta at full strength, so I take nothing away from their win.
Packers need to find out why they are always injured.
Fix that and let the rest sort itself out.
