Overnight Open Thread (9-24-2014)
Dinesh D'Souza Gets Sent to Reeducation Camp
No prison time for Dinesh but...
I was horrified to read the following: "As part of his probation, Mr. D'Souza . . . will also be required to undergo therapeutic counseling." Assuming this to be an accurate report, one can only conclude that America is undergoing a gentle but nonetheless sinister cultural revolution.
True, therapeutic counseling is not hideously cruel, though it is likely to be agonizingly idiotic for any intelligent person. Moreover, it is also likely to invite dishonesty on the part of the "treated," who will be expected to accept the counselor's point of view without demur, however ludicrous or demeaning it may be. Contestation will be taken as a sign that the patient-criminal is not cured and therefore in need of yet more therapeutic counseling. To enforce therapeutic counseling as "treatment" for a criminal act is a violation of the integrity of the human personality. There are worse violations no doubt, but it is the beginning of a descent down a slippery slope.
Punishment is not therapy; crime is not disease. The Soviets thought that dissent was crime and crime was disease: therefore, with them, dissent was disease. We have not yet reached that point, but "therapy" for illegal campaign contributions is coming uncomfortably close to it.
And what was D'Souza's great depraved crime that requires on-going mental re-adjustment? He couldn't give $20,000 directly to a friend's election campaign because of federal election laws so he had two associates give $10,000 each and then reimbursed them.
Megan McArdle's Rules For Appearing on the Daily Show
- Don't.
- If you must, bring two tape recorders, a video camera and a witness. Announce at the beginning that you are going to record this and reserve the right to release the entire recording to the public. When they tell you that they will not do the interview under those conditions, prepare to leave. There is no ethical reason that a reporter requires the ability to ask you questions without having those questions recorded. The reason they don't want unedited audio is that you might release it and be revealed as a normal decent person, rather than a horrible fool.
- They may attempt to get you to stay by explaining that recording will interfere with their equipment. This is the point where you whip the video camera out of your bag and helpfully offer to videotape the interview instead. Do not, under any circumstances, allow yourself to be alone in a room with the producers and no recording device.
- Don't release all the 'good faith' hostages until you see your interview appear on a live unedited feed of the show. And never fall for the 'I have a serious medical condition' ploy.
- Only bring a caliber that begins with a 4.
I may have added one or two rules that Megan implied but didn't state outright.
Also the one time Mike Wallace apologized to one of his victims. But only because the victim, Rep. Bob Livingston (R-LA), had the legal goods on him.

The Secret Service and the M1 Pencil
When it comes to firearms requalification and physical fitness, the Secret Service either doesn't allow agents time to fulfill the requirements or asks agents to fill out their own test scores.
I could overlook some peccadillos if I thought the Secret Service was rock-solid in their competency and mission focus. But I no longer believe that.
US Forest Service: You Need a Permit to Photograph the Wilderness
The U.S. Forest Service has tightened restrictions on media coverage in vast swaths of the country's wild lands, requiring reporters to pay for a permit and get permission before shooting a photo or video in federally designated wilderness areas.Under rules being finalized in November, a reporter who met a biologist, wildlife advocate or whistleblower alleging neglect in any of the nation's 100 million acres of wilderness would first need special approval to shoot photos or videos even on an iPhone.
Permits cost up to $1,500, says Forest Service spokesman Larry Chambers, and reporters who don't get a permit could face fines up to $1,000.
...Liz Close, the Forest Service's acting wilderness director, says the restrictions have been in place on a temporary basis for four years and are meant to preserve the untamed character of the country's wilderness.
Close didn't cite any real-life examples of why the policy is needed or what problems it's addressing. She didn't know whether any media outlets had applied for permits in the last four years.
And don't think I haven't forgotten what thugs the NPS workers were during the government shutdown.
The F-5s is a 12 ton fighter roughly similar to the 1950s era MiG-21, and is a contemporary of that Russian fighter. The F-5 was built mainly for export to nations that could not afford the top-line Western fighters, but did not want the MiG-21s. The F-5 is normally armed with two 20mm cannon, and three tons of missiles and bombs. Introduced in 1962, over 2,200 were built before production ended in 1987.
...India, the last major user of the MiG-21, is in the process of retiring them as well. The F-5, however, continues in active service in several air forces. Unlike the MiG-21, which was built to be used little in peace time and then employed vigorously, if briefly, in wartime, the F-5 was built to be used a lot for training in peace time. This was, until the MiG-29 and Su-27 came along in the 1980s, a major difference between Western and Russian warplanes.

Just to clarify, that [is a crime. The author's argument appears to be with the imposition of "theraputic counseling", as opposed to "mere" punishment, perhaps attempting to conflate the legal issues and the political ones. D'Souza was convicted of violating a law, not of "thought crimes". I am pretty sure that D'Souza's prison sentence was reduced in exchange for the agreement to counseling, in which case this trade-off actually worked to his benefit. Also perhaps he could use a little counseling in regards to the question of why he thought/thinks he should be above the law.

You are correct - it is a crime. But it's a bullshit crime that's rarely enforced and that criminalizes something that was perfectly legal and traditional in American politics right up until the 1970s.
A fine and some community service would have been sufficient punishment. But requiring psychological therapy for a campaign finance law violation reeks of Soviet style justice.

During the sentencing hearing, Berman read from a blistering letter submitted to the court by DSouzas estranged wife. In the missive, Dixie DSouza alleged that her ex-spouse forged her signature on one campaign contribution form, and that he had an abusive nature.
DSouza, who was married to the defendant for 20 years, wrote, In one instance, it was my husband who physically abused me in April 2012 when he, using his purple belt karate skills, kicked me in the head and shoulder, knocking me to the ground and creating injuries that pain me to this day.

Did she report this to the police at the time of the alleged crime? Was it properly investigated? Was he convicted or is this a story put together to make him appear to be an asshole?

So today I went into a little sandwich shop for lunch. I had ordered
roast beef, and as was waiting, I started to notice some odd things. In
the meat case was a ham that appeared to be.....melting. I had thought
that there was a turkey breast on the slicer, but when I looked from
another angle I could swear that it wasn't on the slicer, but floating
next to it. Pepperoni was "hatching" from an egg. I mean, the sandwich
was good, but I don't think I'll be going back to the Salvador Deli

If you read the letter over at thesmokinggun, looks like her letter was in response to a stack of documents DD submitted as part of his sentencing, about her, her involvement in his crime and so on. Since he brought her into it, seems fair she gets to tell the judge her side of the story.

Before we get to the she said/he "crane beak strike", his issue is, with knowledge of campaign laws, he engaged in a conspiracy to violate those laws, to give money to a doomed campaign. Then, when caught, and I'm paraphrasing, said "Well, guess I went a little funny in the head".
Saying that he isn't utterly Machiavellian, but needs help dealing with some stuff seems -- accurate.

I understand the problem with these is a lack of manufacturer support.
Maybe if you could find some third tier air force that was retiring their frames and buy a few shipping containers full of spares.
By the way, the people who have gotten the really sweet deal out of the F-5 family have been NASA astronauts. They insisted starting back in the Project Mercury days that they needed regular access to high performance jets.
Ostensibly to "keep their flying skills sharp" even though spaceflight wasn't anything like normal aviation. It was all a brazen hustle, but one they got away with. So, NASA lined them up with T-38 Talon trainers, the F-5 without weapons mounts.
It actually worked out well for 1960s NASA, because the astronauts in that breakneck era of the Space Race were constantly having to scoot back and forth between Houston, the Cape, and manufacturing facilities in St. Louis and Los Angeles. The fast jets always at hand were a huge aid in covering all those bases.
Although a couple of guys who would have flown in space eventually did get killed in the process. Dangerous line of work.

Well, Obamacare hasn't pushed those prices down, as it was purported that it would do, but those prices weren't low even before Obamacare.

The problem isn't the desserts. It's the sizes of portions, the amounts of crap that parents let their kids eat at home (read: instant gratification, extreme over-indulgence), and lack of exercise.
I've said this before. When I was growing up in the fifties and sixties we had desserts 2 meals a day.
In a school of 200 kids there might be 2 or 3 overweight kids.Obese kids were even rarer.
Kids aren't fat because of what they eat at school. They're fat because of what goes on at home.
People like Bloomberg and Michelle and other nanny staters come up with food nazi crap because they don't have the balls to just deal with people who have the actual problem. So they inflict their fascist rules on everyone.

Spun up the mill today and made some chips. Not too many because I
got a later start than anticipated, then ran into a few difficulties
with reassembly.....and, being that my garage is so stuffed with crap
that I actually have to run the mill with the door open, standing
outside, I did a chunk of the assembly standing in the sun and got
cooked. But I made a cute little staircase out of the corner of a piece
of scrap aluminum.

The journey is finally making some lurching forward progress! Besides just random "getting the feel" exercises, the first "production projects" will be milling some door strike plates.
The deal is, this house was built in 1955, and the builder used metal door frames on the interior doors -- don't know where the hell he got 'em, people have speculated that they were from a hotel that didn't get built. But they're solid steel.....really makes you confident about the ol' earthquake advice to stand under a doorframe -- in this house, that will still be standing when the rest of the house is reduced to matchsticks....but I digress.
So the interior doors have these spaces for strike plates, but they're all whack. Compared to standard strike plates sold today, they're T-shaped, with a little tongue for the bent part that engages the bolt. They're also a bit large and the screw holes are in the wrong place.
So I need to take a readily available Home Depot strike plate, mill the tongue, then drill and countersink new mounting holes. And then, the annoying lack of strike plates on 4 interior doors will come to an end! [If you're wondering how we got on without....look back up there, the damned frames are solid steel. The latch has been eroding away on the exposed edge of the steel frame for God knows how many decades and you'd need a microscope to find any erosion.]
If I'm really tricksy, I'm going to mount a ball-catch on the hall entrance coat-closet. It will require milling the receptacle side to fit the tongue slot.

Well having some legal evidence and actually litigating and winning a libel suit against CBS when you're a public figure are two different things. You could easily win the case and yet still be bankrupted.
The takeaway for me is to always act as if members of the media are dishonest lying hacks who are conspiring to set you up. Which means recording and documenting everything and having witnesses to back you up. You may be pleasantly surprised on occasion but that's not the way to bet.

In libel, one has to prove damages, and as long as Livingston keeps winning reelection, there are no provable damages. So the best he could hope for is a 1$ judgment.
But he pays no legal fees, just flows a portion of the normal course of the legal business going through his office to a new firm and:
Through leaking things learned in discovery and cross examining Mike Wallace on the stand in public, he ruins Mike Wallace's reputation, renders him unemployable, and sends a warning shot across the bow of every other reporter who wants to slander/libel a Republican. (It should be noted that it is an ethical breach for the lawyer to leak things learned in discovery, but the client is free to do so.)
But that would require a fighting instinct. (Shrug.)

The tone wasn't the best.
I started out defending him against the charge of manufacturing evidence, but some of these "tricks" could definitely get someone who was overly chatty, or scared, or just drunk (picked off the street at 1:30 AM waddling back home) in serious trouble.
I mean, suppose someone said "dude, I met this blonde b!tch at the club and I was hoping to HIT THAT SH!T" to the cop and then, some blonde prostitute was found beaten to death that night.
Case closed, muthafuckaz! The Boulder Blonde Basher! Soon to be in the annals with ol' Jack from London. Especially if that unlucky sod had a history of "toilet hobo" comments in a site like this.
Yeah. Real life kind of stinks.

1) "Admit to X or else we'll write more tickets"
2) "Oh c'mon, just admit to it and we'll go easy on you in court"
With #1, they might in fact write more tickets, but if you admit to the larger offense, you're pretty much dead in the water at that point. I'd rather be charged with the lesser "contempt of cop" type offenses.
#2 rarely works out for suspect. Once the tickets/complaints are written, it goes to the DA/prosecutor who decides what to do with it. Maybe the cop gives the prosecutor the heads up to go easy, maybe he/she doesn't. So it's better to admit nothing and let them write you up for whatever little they have to go on.

No he said 'set up' which implies fraud on the police's side. However the tactic he described is really letting the suspect talk too much and implicate himself.
But it's the casual admission of setting up people that concerns me.
Now I know that NCJ was just trying to stir up shit and so I'm just having some fun with him.
However.....given his background I do take his allegations of rampant and routine police abuse of people seriously. He was in a position to know so we shouldn't just dismiss his claims. :-)

I'm in the Medical biz, and much focus is on the treatment of cancer rather than the cure of cancer. There is work being done on cures, don't get me wrong. Let me just say it would not surprise me to see a scenario like amclinical scientist coming up with a new and exciting treatment for the cure of cancer. Hypothetically, this man may be made a very, very wealthy person by having this new and exciting treatment purchased by a big ass Pharma company. Then, the treatment will run into snags in the approval process and eventually get shelved permanently. Meanwhile, treatment drugs fly out the door. I may or may not have seen this a time or 3 in the last 24 years.

That's true of anyone
It has to be the result of questioning
Civilian or military
There was a famous case where two cops were transporting a guy back to the station for questioning in a murder
It was Christmas Eve
The two cops started talking to each other about how it would mean so much to the family to get the body back for Christmas
All in front of the perp
All to elicit a confession
It worked
All perfectly legal, because they weren't asking him anything

It's also the way that the media gets idiots to sound like idiots on camera.
When a reporter asks you a question, answer it in the most concise way possible. When the reporter just sits there holding the mic up waiting for more is when people blurt out the stupid shit because they think they just need to keep adding more so that the interview goes "well". What they need to do is just look at the reporter and say "do you have any more questions, because if not, I have a very busy schedule today". Usually, that gets them to ask another question because they didn't get the "gotcha".
This is how they "got" Todd Akin, instead of just saying "next", he had to add more to his response. Short and concise is how to deal with the media.

What Akin illustrates is that the best possible way to deal with the media is not to deal with the media AT ALL.
Akin had a double digit lead in the polls over Claire McCaskill, who was a deeply unpopular incumbent.
All he had to do was sit back and smile and wave, decline all interviews and debates, and let third-party intermediaries savage Air Claire for him.
But no! Akin _actively sought out_ the media. He asked his staff to aggressively schedule press interviews.
(And, inter alia, a genuinely professional staff would have smiled and nodded and beaten him up and chloroformed him and put him in a car trunk to keep him from talking to the media. But he didn't have a professional staff. He had enthusiastic-amateur family members running his campaign.)
And why did Akin seek out the media? Because he had a Very Important Message To Convey To The Public. About magic rape sperm detectors.
Akin got his way. He conveyed his very important message to the public. And his double-digit lead turned into double digits down in about eight hours' time. Oh boy.

Yep.
Although there are multitudes of different cancers, there are certain semi-generic biological mechanisms that many of them exploit. So, statistically, finding a mechanism interrupt is a good play.
Angiogenesis in solid tumor cancers would be an example.
It may not necessarily kill the tumor, but the tumor will grow much more slowly and give time for various other therapeutics to get traction. Lots of cancer patients die simply because the clock ran out. Change the time curve and more of them will survive.

So--can only find a still photo of that on one search engine.

In a sense, we're both right. You are correct that OJ didn't go to jail for murder, which was wrong. But there was something definitely wrong with him (which would my point regarding D'Souza), that turned out to be the source of a pattern of behavior which caused him to be caught and convicted the second time. If the guilty plea and therapy helps D'Souza avoid that fate, it will actually have worked to his benefit.

Quayle and Palin were painted as "not ready", even though both had more experience than Obama. The problem they ran into is that the GOP doesn't do anything to try to help their candidates become more media savvy. When Katie Couric asked Palin what news sources she reads, Palin should have just chuckled and said "Katie, we get the same newspapers and magazines that you get in New York, this is the 21st century and technology has made information and news easy to get even in remote areas". That answer serves 2 purposes, answers the question and second it makes Couric look like an ass.
Akin, well he was just one of those candidates that implodes every election. They take a slam dunk and bang it off the back of the rim causing 1/2 the audience to groan and the other 1/2 to cheer. Plus, it always makes the highlight reel.

Yes.
And perhaps even asking Couric, "Gee, Katie, have you asked anyone on the Democratic ticket what _they_ read? You haven't? Why not?"
But, after Couric's infamous previous "ambush interview" with G.H.W. Bush, no one on the McCain-Palin campaign staff should have approved anything at all having to do with Couric.
Sorry. Would love to chat. Can't fit it into the schedule.
Note that the single individual who was the most keen to plug Palin in with Couric, Nicolle Wallace, is now on _The View_. That pretty much tells you all you need to know about Wallace, and about how incredibly foolish it was for a campaign to hire Wallace and to take media advice from Wallace.

And given how seldom these kind of campaign finance laws are enforced it's actually a rational belief to think that you're unlikely to be caught much less prosecuted.
And note less than ideal behavior is not necessarily the same as pathological behavior that requires psychological treatment. Lots of people fuck up and learn from the consequences of their actions without needing mental help. Now if D'Souza were on his third divorce for the same reasons, then yeah some therapy might be warranted.

Not exactly. What I believe I was saying was that it was the two separate infractions, taken together, that could indicate there was a problem that therapy might help. As far as the DSM-5 is concerned, I would suggest that you wouldn't have to look much further than Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Also, it helps to remember that this judge actually let him off easy. He did not get the prison sentence that the prosecutor was asking for. It may be, in fact, that had he gone to prison he would have gotten exactly the same sort of counseling, just in a less congenial environment. And it wouldn't have had anything to do with "re-education camps" or treating his politics as a disease.

Not exactly. What I believe I was saying was that it was the two separate infractions, taken together, that could indicate there was a problem that therapy might help. As far as the DSM-5 is concerned, I would suggest that you wouldn't have to look much further than Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Also, it helps to remember that this judge actually let him off easy. He did not get the prison sentence that the prosecutor was asking for. It may be, in fact, that had he gone to prison he would have gotten exactly the same sort of counseling, just in a less congenial environment. And it wouldn't have had anything to do with "re-education camps" or treating his politics as a disease.

It is not a question of what he did or did not do.
It is a question of the punishment being "unusual"... at least as far as the common law is concerned...

cthulhu: For your files, if you're still around.
Machinery (mills, lathes, etc.) are usually made from cast iron, partly because it can be cast into complex forms very economically, partly because it has good wear properties (like for ways), and also because it is easy to stress-relieve ... meaning it will expand due to temperature changes, as all metals do, but it is unlikely to twist or warp. This is very important, when things like flatness, parallelism and such are needed. Getting a welded steel structure to NOT warp, twist, etc., due to temperature changes is much tougher. It can be done, but it costs money. And then heat-treated steel ... the act of heat-treating frequently induces warping. If the end result is then to be annealed, there's no point in using heat-treatable steel. Stainless shows little or no advantage over cast iron given that the assembly is normally covered in oil.
I recently saw a mill, about the same size as the one you have, but the column, base and table were made of granite ... finished as you might expect. The base model was about $15k.
I also ran across a link (Practical Machinist, IIRC) comparing light mills. Yours is rated a Best Buy, partly because there is enough quality, partly because there is plenty of inexpensive tooling for it, partly because with a bit of work it can be CNC'd (and cheaply ... and it will cut steel plate - see YouTube) ... , but mainly for the price.

Eh. So far I haven't seen anything that suggests NPD. Sadly his behavior is well within normal human bounds. And there's no need to pathologize normal human misbehavior.
And IMO it would been ludicrous for him to have gotten *any* prison time given the small amounts of money and it being his first offense. The real question is whether people convicted of similar offenses were also required to get therapy. My suspicion is that they were not.

First concert- Iron Maiden "Powerslave" tour in '84 at the Long Beach Arena- they were recording that night for their live album.
First album- "The Empire Strikes Back" soundtrack.
First album by a band- "Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol.
Berlin- saw them at the Hollywood Palladium on their "Count Three and Pray" tour. Teri Nunn was quit attractive.

Then I got the 4 CD "Another Self-Portrait" which has been out since last year.
I added the 1964 and 1975 live sets, each 2 discs, which have been out for many years but which I inexplicably never got around to buying.
I finally rounded it off with the 3 disc "Bootleg Series Vol. 1-3" collection of unreleased recordings and outtakes, which was released in 1991 and which I have on vinyl, but since I don't have a turntable hooked up, I haven't heard in years.
Then after I placed my order, I noticed the DVD set of his appearances at the Newport Folk Festival in 1963, 64, and 65. And the 2 DVD version of the 1965 documentary "Don't Look Back" which contains a whole disc of outtakes from that movie. *groan*
I'll leave you with his 1969 recording of "Pretty Saro", which is from the "Another Self-Portrait" collection. This was when everybody else was dropping acid, protesting, and going to Woodstock. Meanwhile Bob was exploring traditional folk and country music. No wonder he had fans and critics alike scratching their heads in bewilderment.

The ATF sure has a LOT of power lately that congress did not give them. Now they want people's race and ethnicity on the forms. But this little statement is a real indicator of what they have been doing and want to step up.
Sen Roy Blunt, R-Mo., sent a letter to ATF Director Todd Jones asking why the information was being collected and whether the data had ever been used to restrict someone's ability to purchase a firearm.
"What does that possibly have to do with whether you would pass the background check for a firearm or not?" Blunt asked."
In a response to Blunt, the ATF said Wednesday it has been collecting some type of race information on Form 4473 since 1968, but that it has never compiled or maintained it in any database.
So they are now going to put all the form 4473 stuff in an ATF database. Those forms and the data were never supposed to be kept beyond a certain time frame. And the data on them were never supposed to be collected by the ATF at all. When the gun control bullshit was passed people were rightfully scared that the government would want to make a gun registry. The proponents of this unconstitutional law said oh no we would never do that. We will protect the forms, the dealers will be the only ones who see them then they will be destroyed after a period of time. Well guess what people; the ATF is illegally creating a federal gun registry now. And I notice that Shannon Bream did not even pick up on this, or she decided not to say anything about it.
Read this entire article, and I would assume that the MFM will ignore this story. Read the entire article.

Journalists who cover the White House say Obama's press aides have demanded, and received, changes in press-pool reports before the reports have been disseminated to other journalists. They say the White House has used its unusual role as the distributor of the reports as leverage to steer coverage in a more favorable direction.
Question is, why are they not suing under the first amendment? I'm sure that if this was Bush it would be in court already with 24/7 coverage.

President Obama on Wednesday delivered a speech at the United Nations filled with his usual soaring rhetoric of global collectivism and the importance of international norms. But the president also displayed a shocking naivete about global affairs, religion, Islam, a Pollyannaish interpretation on the state of the world and America's role in it.
IOW, it was the usual Obama crap.

having their accounts drained. So if you have
bought anything at Home Depot with a credit
card or especially a debit card, get your
account stuff changed ASAP . Remember, with
a debit card there is no $50 limit on your
liability.
They looked at mine, felt sorry, and deposited some money.

I wish. The bank sent me the notification yesterday, that they're changing out my debit card (great!) and that my current card is shut off as of today (fuuuuuhk.....). Oh well...c'mon, Post Office!
I know, I know.....
I believe there was some shenanigans on my account for about $550 bucks. Not sure yet. At least they are very proactive, which is all you can really ask for.
Sadly, I now have to go to the County Accessor and do a tap dance and try to get the interest and fines waived because the second half is now late.

Back up. Dinesh D'Souza is the one committing felonies and then begging to be spared the prison term specified by the legislature. He wasn't -required- to do anything but go to prison. He wasn't required to accept the deal; he could have told the judge he wouldn't do the counseling, so there. Somehow he feels that being locked up with a toilet and a criminal for a roommate is worse than describing his feelings on an outpatient basis. If he can make that choice I'll abide it. The Soviet dissents you mentioned had no choice about being incarcerated and poisoned with mood-altering drugs.
If you're going to start arguing that equal justice starts with the other team, and your boys deserve a break until Democrats start getting prosecuted as often, you're a Republican Al Sharpton.
