Checkin' In With the #SalonHot25

Max Boot, a totally solid conservative or something, tells us he's transitioning into a feminist concerned about white male privilege.



Tom Nichols, a totally solid Republican who only registered as a Republican to vote against Trump, tweeted that people who think Trump is a Christian are "stupid."

And he said this on Christmas.

Which, as everyone knows, is the best day to attack large swaths of strangers.


He didn't spend all of Christmas Day attacking people, though.

He spent part of Christmas on the most important virtue of all -- shameless self-promotion.




He didn't always tweet out his self-promotions. In some cases, he gave other people a voice, and retweeted their promotions of him.

Again, on Christmas. As the Wise Man said, go forth and spread the joyous news of this day, and that joyous news is that Tom Nichols' snoozer self-wank is still available.





Oh, he had a fire or something at his house recently, and took the opportunity to tell us that the firemen and plumbers who fixed stuff were "experts."

Which I guess that means we should defer to this absolute moron, because he calls himself an expert.



By the way, he keeps saying it was his cat who awoke him and warned him of the fire.

Our old pal spongeworthy remarks:



Do experts really have this much time for tweeting?

And finally, John "Master of OPSEC" Schindler talked up 1865, the year a controversial president was assassinated, as a potential reckoning for "traitors."



And -- apropos of nothing, I assure you:

I really appreciate expertise. Anything done well looks easier but is much harder than the non-expert thinks.

But appreciation of expertise comes from either tangible results or a consistent record of success. Can the Boots, Nichols or Schindlers point to either of these? Or are they "thought leaders" who keep their gigs regardless of how dismally wrong they've been?

Well, being somewhat of an expert on this topic, there is no mucus gland per se. Virtually all of the epithelial cells of the nose and sinuses can produce mucus. So removing it would not really be practical.

Schindler is an asshole, and a careless one. He is going round the bend slowly but surely. He can be safely ignored.

Nichols...Nichols teaches a subject that requires a considerable depth of scholarship. I have no doubt about the depth of his scholarship because otherwise he wouldn't be teaching at the NWC.

Nichols's problem is that he can't distinguish between "scholarship" and "smartness". Scholarship is a depth of knowledge about a single subject or a group of related subjects. Some of the most learned scholars I've ever met couldn't wield a hammer without hurting themselves.

374 The U.S. may yet become another Turkey or Hungary -- a state that preserves the forms of democracy but has become an authoritarian regime in practice. But it won't happen as easily or as quickly as many of us had feared....What we've seen instead is the emergence of a highly energized resistance. That resistance made itself visible literally the day after Trump took office, with the huge women's marches that took place on Jan. 21, dwarfing the thin crowds at the inauguration. If American democracy survives this terrible episode, I vote that we make pink pussy hats the symbol of our delivery from evil.

403 Here's the deal ... if you'll read Paul Krugman, and understand his projection, he tells us all we need to know. Just like a Hitler. A Stalin. Hell - a Roosevelt or a Wilson. A Churchill.

Paul was hoping for an Authoritarian Regime with the superficial trappings of Democracy ... but it back-fired. And Easy ? Hell - he thought the job was already done.

The pain in the ass, for him, is that him and those like him thought they had this shit cod-locked just by winning at the ballot-box. And then they lost that.

All this other "resistance" ... well shit. He thought that was only in their playbook.

The "I just don't give a damn" attitude that elected Trump scares the shit out of the Krugmans. And the Bushes. And the Obamas. And the Clintons. And those that support them ... and/or the primacy of the State over the Citizen.

430 This is the kind of argument that drives me apoplectic about global warming enthusiasts. We must defer to the scientists! Yes, naturally, I cannot debate the scientists in their area of expertise. The problem is that the scientists are morphing into political instruments and facilitating policy recommendations. Policy recommendations that affect me, as a citizen, directly. Policy recommendations that facilitate the ability of statists to seize control of every aspect of our lives. And at that point I WILL debate the Experts.
