That title either needs some splainin' or it reinforces one of my favorite movies, Mediterraneo.
Our hero is a deserter from the Italian army in WWII. He runs all around the Med saying una faccia una razza, one face one race. We all look alike all around the Med because basically people have had sailboats for a long time and sailor things happen. Of course, everywhere in his journeys he says that, people agree with him, and then fuck him over.

There's a Doctor Who episode on PlutoTV right now. The Doctor (Tom Baker) is accused of killing the Time Lord President, and he stops his trial by declaring himself a candidate for the office, which gives him protected status.

It wasn't really safe to be Jewish in Algeria once the French left and the Muzzies took over. Most of them went to France, but I guess this lady ended up in Italy. Now that the rest of Algeria is following them to France, it's becoming pretty unsafe to be Jewish in France.

The scene of this painting doesn't do much for me. It's not bad but it's not that interesting. However, the colors are restful and I like the way they blend and contrast. The clothing seems to be more important than the woman who is almost generic.

Some furher context on PA: Trump won the commonwealth by about 45k votes (0.72%) - total vote share: 48.18%. Here's Trump's vote share in various "Republican Strongholds" (according to yesterday's media) in 2016 (difference from Felonious' totals in that county)...
Bucks: 47.74% (-0.78%) Chester: 43.20% (-9.51%) Delaware: 37.18% (22.42%) So Bucks is closest to a bellwether from that measure, but got the eventual winner wrong. The closest actual bellwether is Erie County. Posted by: DocJ at November 07, 2019 09:47 AM (77WPm) 92
Willowed, but too interesting to let it get away:
446 Wisconsin did not make all margarine illegal. They just made the sale of YELLOW colored margarine unlawful. Most of you won't remember, but margarine used to come in plastic bags and it was white. Included in the bag was a little capsule of yellow food coloring which you squoze until it popped open. Then you kneeded the bag of margarine to distribute color. That kneeding was impossible for a four year old girl but she had to try. I grew up in Iowa and those bags of margarine made their way across the river from Wisconsin. Most of the country probably never even saw them.

No it's not. It's presuming that you know better than other parents what they should do with their spawn. Now this girl is sort of like Monday's girl. Not exactly impressionistic, but done with little painterliness. I love how you can do that with oils.

Wisconsin did not make all margarine illegal. They just made the sale of
YELLOW colored margarine unlawful. Most of you won't remember, but margarine used to come in plastic bags and it was white. Included in the bag was a little capsule of yellow food coloring which you squoze until it popped open. Then you kneeded the bag of margarine to distribute color. That kneeding was impossible for a four year old girl but she had to try. And that little girl was ME! Posted by: Kamala at November 07, 2019 09:58 AM (88+cf) 168

In the first election, the two Republican candidates together got 51% (iirc) and Democrat Edwards got 48% or so. If all Republican voters come back and vote Republican, they've got it, BUT the Republican who won did a lot to aggravate his losing opponents supporters, and if they're still pissed off and stay home on runoff day then the Democrat wins re-election easily. so like I said, it all comes down to turnout, and that's almost impossible to poll.

grammie, rolling over an IRA can be simple or complicated, depending on what kind of IRA you're rolling it from (regular, Roth) and what kind of IRA you're rolling it to (same examples). I rolled over a few when my hubby died. I don't recall it being difficult but the banks and Prudential did most of the paperwork for me. I would think if someone wanted your money they'd be willing to help you.
Just remember, if you're rolling it from a regular IRA to a Roth you'll have to pay income taxes upfront on the entire amount but it will then be shielded from taxes forever. Posted by: creeper at November 07, 2019 10:05 AM (fE1wp) 208

I have. Filling out some paperwork is all. The receiving IRA institution will have to fill out & return part of it to you, to include a signature from a representative of the receiving institution. Iy's not too burdensome. It can take two weeks or so to process after you send in the paperwork to your existing IRA.

Something you can do that makes Madeline Kahn's performance even more enjoyable - watch a clip of her doing her piece in Blazing Saddles, and then cue up Marlene Dietrich singing "The laziest Girl in Town" (From Hitchcock's "Stage Fright"), which is the performance that Khan was doing a direct parody of.

No it isn't. You're discussing other people's money and other people's children, both of which are tacky to do unless someone has asked.
-- I'm not discussing anyone else's children beyond a vague "children" in the same way we talk about free lunches and Tide Pods, and I apologize if it seems as though I was directing it at someone personally. I'm merely pointing out $5000 a year for ten years is likely going to yield $80K, and that's not a bad plan, either.

Posted by: grammie winger at November 07, 2019 09:59 AM (lwiT4) I fe done many rollovers of qualified accounts. The biggest problem I've had is that the original institution often characterizes the rollover as a distribution, and that results in a letter of inquiry (which looks very threatening) from the IRS. I always write a letter of instruction, specifying its a rollover, and instructing the original institution to classify it as such and to withhold NO taxes.

Posted by: Lizzie Warren's wet dream at November 07, 2019 10:09 AM (T6t7i) +++++++++++++ What I don't get about her "wealth tax" (read: outright asset expropriation) scheme is how she expects it to work. The people with assets at that scale don't have vaults full of gold and jewels like Scrooge McDuck. They have stocks, bonds, etc. To turn those into money, they have to be liquidated and you have to be careful at that scale not to crash the asset. This gets even worse when the voracious government sets its sites lower and goes after the regular rich and then the middle class. They can't liquidate it without driving the prices somewhere into the fifth sub-basement. They could expropriate a billion dollars worth of wealth and, through the magic of government efficiency, turn it into half of that much money. Warren is more than smart enough to know this. The big reason I hate Warren is because she *is* smart enough, she does know enough, she does understand these things. During the Financial Crisis, she did very well in analysis - probably better than any other elected official. She's a sharp woman. Then she made the CFPB and floats this kind of nonsense.

Julian Castro's family is big in San Antonio Mexican politics, so he got made ceremonial mayor in a town with a City Manager style government, which means all he ever did was attend ribbon cutting ceremonies and free luncheons. Then, Clinton Inc. got him appointed as HUD secretary for 3 years under Obama where again, he never actually did anything. and that is his sum total "experience".

Sounds simply awful. Who thinks of such a thing, DIY margarine coloring? Thankfully, never saw anything like that on the East Coast.
Posted by: Count de Monet at November 07, 2019 10:02 AM (q1Pj5) -------------------------------------- Selling margarine in dairy country was a very bad thing once upon a time. In order to make the buying of margarine unappealing, it could only be sold in its natural color, and the yellow coloring was sold separately in a little packet. Margarine was a good deal cheaper than butter so this seemed like a good way to slow down the sale of margarine. My mother remembers her mother buying margarine and having to knead it before using it, because nobody wanted to eat it when it was that industrial white color straight out of the package. I guess it looked like caulk or something. Posted by: Boots at November 07, 2019 10:17 AM (oGBso) 271

Thanks. I see a lot of complaints about GopE and thought that some background might help. Some folks know party histories but a lot do not and the past does help predict current behavior. If VA Republicans do not want to live in California East, the power is in their hands and that means changing the party from the bottom first. I grew up in the party system and have worked in campaigns at the local, state, and on one national campaign in a small way. You want political change or even the status quo, you have to work for it, politics cannot be done alone and by oneself. Posted by: whig at November 07, 2019 10:18 AM (MItID) 276

Margarine was a good deal cheaper than butter so this seemed like a good way to slow down the sale of margarine. My mother remembers her mother buying margarine and having to knead it before using it, because nobody wanted to eat it when it was that industrial white color straight out of the package. I guess it looked like caulk or something.

I'm merely pointing out $5000 a year for ten years is likely going to yield $80K, and that's not a bad plan, either.
That's not a plan, that's a wish. You posited an 8% return. How to achieve an 8% return is a plan. You posited a wish. Also you said that parents shouldn't spend $5K a year on traveling teams for their kids. That's where this started. Also, the reason it took a minute here is that I went away to do the math. Your $5K a year at 8% yields $72,433 at the end of ten years. So your math is wrong. Your idea is without foundation. You should not be telling art threadists how to spend money on their own spawn.

The Jordanian government announced that as of Sunday, Israeli farmers will be banned from entering the Naharayim enclave, Jordan Valley Council head Idan Greenbaum said Thursday.
Under the 1994 peace agreement with Jordan, the Naharayim enclave and the Tzofar enclave were leased to Israel for 25 years, allowing the Israeli farmers living in the enclave to continue managing their farms. About a year ago, the Hashemite Kingdom announced that it wanted to terminate the lease agreement and take over the two enclaves. Those areas will die and become non-useful land.

"Wisconsin did not make all margarine illegal. They just made the sale of
YELLOW colored margarine unlawful. Most of you won't remember, but margarine used to come in plastic bags and it was white. Included in the bag was a little capsule of yellow food coloring which you squoze until it popped open. Then you kneeded the bag of margarine to distribute color." Back in the 1950s, when I was a shaver growing up in Chicago, my Wisconsin uncle would visit us from time to time, and he always stocked up on colored margarine. I guess he liked the stuff; though why anyone would prefer it to butter is beyond me. By the way, I love Corot's paintings. He was dissed for painting the deplorables of his day - peasants and other such riff-raff - and for painting them more or less as they were, rather than making them picturesque.

508, DocJ, you are correct and part of the issue in VA was the fed court mandated redistricting. VA Republicans at the last account actually had 60,000 more votes than Dems statewide but the Dems have rotten boroughs with low levels of voting. Republicans or leaners often simply sit out these elections because there is no Rep. candidate.
PA had a similar redistricting and KY was a governor that was trying tough love regarding pensions and Medicaid which the fiscons promote. He lost, in part, because people value losses higher than potential gains. Pissing off the teachers which are everywhere in the state is dangerous politically but was the right thing to do for the state's fiscal health. Ditto with charges and work requirements on Medicaid but also a downer in E. Kentucky which is getting hit hard by the decline in coal. Posted by: whig at November 07, 2019 11:03 AM (MItID) 533

>>What's the Biden or Clinton connection? From roughly 2007 through 2015 over $220 billion, with a "b" was laundered through one small branch of Danske Bank in Estonia.

It is the biggest money laundering scandal ever by orders of magnitude. It was uncovered in 2014 and has been under investigation ever since. Rudy Giuliani has said he has proof of payments from Burisma to Hunter Biden totaling over $3 million that went from Ukraine to Latvia to Cyprus to Biden. Incidentally, Danske is a Danish bank and this scandal has rocked the Danish economy. Denmark owns Greenland. Just throwing that out there for no particular reason.

I think we partially agree. This was Benin's race to lose. But I believe the trends with suburban voters still hold irrespective. Just the reasoning is different. Posted by: Marcus T, Not Eric Ciaramella at November 07, 2019 11:09 AM (LQM+C) 542
grammie, Pentecostals were one of the very few small groups allowed to emigrate - with great difficulty, usually - from the USSR. Armenians and Jews, the others [sometimes]. Never understood why. Maybe the KGB just wanted such troublemakers gone. Met with some Pentecostal activists there a few years before the collapse. "Intense" kinda sorta begins to capture the vibe there. Whoa.

Wow. That is one nice Endangered Species poster. Although, it may be too late to save the native population of Algerian Jews.

My mom's b-day was Sept. 22. Nobody, including her brother and sister, could remember the exact day, because the autumn equinox can vary from one year to the next. I had the same problem. After I read Lord of the Rings and found Frodo and Bilbo also had that birthday, I had a mnemonic I could use.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at November 07, 2019 11:00 AM (Ejm1K) That's also my mom's birthday. I wonder why Tolkien chose that date for their birthdays? Dates in LOTR meant things - for instance, the Nine left Rivendell on December 25th, and the Ring is destroyed on March 25th, which is the Feast of the Annunciation.

Are there good data on "suburban" voters from this off-cycle?
VA is entirely 1] NOVA/swamp voters 2] immigrants 3] redistricting - right or wrong? KY was a GOP romp, apart from gov, where the troubling thing is the stranglehold that greed and ignorance and lack of public service mindset have over unionized govt. workers, and the pernicious strength of the teachers' union in particular - right or wrong? PA - who knows. The state-level stuff there has always been weird and even extreme, even though the state is not, overall. Note the last AG, for example.

Brother Maynard on man hugs:
Man hugs, Chapter two, Verses nine through twenty-one- And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou hug whilst firmly patting the man's shoulder blade. Then shalt thou pat to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt pat, and the number of the pats shall be three. Four shalt thou not pat, neither pat thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then break from the hug and stepest back. Posted by: Count de Monet at November 07, 2019 11:19 AM (q1Pj5) 549
475 Good oped in the WSJ. It would be foolish for the GOP to ignore these trends. If we start losing enough state legislatures, governorships and House seats, everything else follows down the drain. Virginia, Kentucky and Pennsylvania are warnings. I see a lot of people writing off the trends with suburban voters, that were natural Republican supporters. That's whistling past the graveyard and a huge mistake.
Posted by: Marcus T, Not Eric Ciaramella at November 07, 2019 10:52 AM (LQM+C) I agree with this. In my Pennsylvania county and township, the Democrats practically ran the table. They were very aggressive in sending flyers and mailers criticizing Republican incumbents and saying, "It's time for change." The result did not surprise me.

Posted by: rhomboid at November 07, 2019 11:17 AM (QDnY+) rhomboid, the PA elections were county and municipal level. the Philly collar counties stayed in GOP control through many cycles due to demunist voter apathy in off-year elections, especially during the Obama years. They figured they had the White House and all the federal agencies, who cares about a stupid county council election? The Hillary defeat woke them up. They came out in strength in 2018 and this year as well. It's definitely an anti-Trump effect. Also, the local GOP did not mount a very good GOTV effort, since they had enjoyed control for so many years. I don't know why they didn't see the writing on the wall, considering what happened in 2018 and that the demunists enjoy a 30,000 registered voter advantage.

If smacking Jesus across the face is your way of
getting back at a troll, perhaps the troll isn't the problem? The Lord very well knows you, but it is very apparent you don't know Him at all. You certainly don't fear Him.
