The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
Nine whales -- including two sperm whales and seven humpback whales -- have been found dead off the coasts of four East Coast states in less than two months, according to federal environmental officials. The discovery of the whales, five of which were beached in New Jersey, sparked calls from environmentalists to halt offshore wind development until more information was known about their deaths.
Of course the assumption that the deaths of these whales* are caused by the wind farms is nonsense, just as the assumption that there has been an increase in whale deaths is also nonsense. There are multiple other explanations for the appearance of these dead whales on the coast, and it could be as benign as the concomitant increase in their population! Yup...humpback whale populations have been increasing. But the correlation between an increase in whale carcasses on our beaches and the wind farms is just too delicious to discard because of logic and rational analysis of the issue. It is my fervent desire that the rabid environmentalists, who seem to crawl out from under their rocks whenever some obviously benign project is proposed, will lose their minds over this one. I want MUSE (Musicians United for Safe Energy) to be reconstituted! Does anyone remember the anti-nuclear power movement? Let's have Jackson Browne back for an encore! And maybe Graham Nash can blabber on about giant sponges and Bruce Springsteen can yell at us for a set or two. Seriously...there is so little research on the long-term effects of these machines that building them in the oceans off our coasts is profoundly irresponsible. We simply don't know what will happen, and until there is enough data to make an informed decision about the net effects it makes much more sense to go slowly and build small pilot projects that will test for environmental safety and economic viability. Or...you know...open Shoreham and reopen Indian Point...two nuclear power plants that could generate far more electricity than all of these wind farms combined. *As for disposal? Well...duh!

They'll blame it on the Russians. Their submarines in the area put out SONAR that confuses the whales and makes them die.

That's possible, but not likely in this case.
The whale deaths started shortly after they started using SONAR to determine which areas of the ocean floor are better suited for the wind turbines.

Mmmm. You know another thing: I love dirty blonde FAR more than platinum blonde.
Example. Six in Battlestar. Now Tricia Helfer is smoking hot. She has an awesome voice. But her completely tarted up look for most of the series did not do as much for me. It was almost too much. Then there was the episode where she is supposed to be mimicking starbuck in Baltar's head and she goes down to sweats, less make up and darker shade of blonde.

In my small town sort of on the east coast (we are way inland) we had a "debate" on banning plastic bags.
The pro-ban people got a teenage girl to read a poem on some whale that chocked on a plastic bag in the Philippines.
And that got them to approve the ban.

The RNC can't control shit.
It's going to be Trump vs. the host of establishment figures, each getting their week in the sun as the "Trump killer" where they raise tens of millions of dollars each, getting a slight bump in the mid-2023 polls that gets them within 35 points of Trump, before fading and another one takes the mantle for a week.
At least half of the "Trump killers" won't even make it to Iowa, and the rest will be so easily destroyed through the first three races that he'll be the de facto nominee by SC. De Santis won't even run because he'll be fighting in the same political space as Trump, and Trump won't be nearly weak enough to justify the risk.

It's odd how the environmentalists never talk about the real reason for the catastrophic decline in whale populations. It wasn't Japanese whalers or American industry or sportsmen.
It was the Soviets. They had absurd, stupid and pointless quotas on whale production in the five-year plans all the way into the early 70s IIRC and they achieved their quotas. They also pointlessly hunted whales nearly to extinction to accomplish it and tick the boxes in Moscow.

When our Coast Guard cutters used to travel off the North Fork of Long Island near the sub base at Groton CT, we knew that when we would see Right whales that we would soon get a call from a submarine (departing or arriving) requesting our intentions. The subs would use their sonar upon entering or departing and it would drive the whales to the surface.

Speaking of Whataburger -
The movie "Vengeance"(now streaming), which I would recommend in general, has a NYC guy going to West Texas for a funeral.
There's a lot of fun regarding cultural differences. Some in ways you would not expect, others in stupid stereotype eye-rollers. YMMV.
Anyway...the script uses Whataburger in a few ways, but, but ,but their main Whataburger joke is just a "Texans are just dumb hicks" joke.
When asked why Whataburger is so popular and why it's considered the best, every single Texan replies "cuz it's there".
No research at all was done on this bit of Texass lore. And is a HUGE false note in the middle of the Movie.
Probably every single person you'd ask why you love Whataburger in Texas could give you a logical considered explanation, with examples, personal or otherwise, if not an actual exegesis on the topic of Whataburger.
What you absolutely would not hear is - "Because it's there."
Character and Script Fail! Esp because Whataburger kinda sorta provides the main clue that solves the mystery.

I had that on a multi-party call once. Customer was southern (not sure where) and had a thick accent. The other vendor was a king-sized dick from Boston who as really talking down to the customer.
Eventually, the customer had enough. He said, "I may talk slow but that doesn't mean I think slow. You can speak to me with respect or I can find another vendor."
Mr. Boston found someone else to take over, and that was the right move. He lost the customer's confidence and willingness to help.

On which important policies/general approaches (relevant at the presidential, not state, level) do Trump and Heavy D differ? That's all that matters. Including for many voters who simply must be delivered in a few states.
How did Trump, by the skin of his teeth, win in 2016? What were the primary drivers of his historic incumbent's increased votes in 2020? On these policies, I am unaware of any meaningful daylight between them (on some, understandably, DeSantis has little profile, having been a congresscritter and now governor).
That's the essential paradox and weakness of a DeSantis run in 2024. "Oh, I'll do everything the same on the big issues that he did and would, but, but ..... well, .....". Huh? Please ID what campaign strategerists call "differentiation" issues between Trump and Heavy D. I know of no significant ones. Personality "issues"? Good luck winning an already long-shot general if you manage to take out Trump on personality issues.

This is a classwide phenomenon in the younger parts of the judiciary. People who occasionally smoked weed in college think marijuana should not be taken seriously in criminal and child welfare cases. You know, because the drug habits of habitual criminals and child abusers are just like those of college kids and with the same consequences. That fact that marijuana is the drug of choice for a lot of black folks plays into it too.

Not directed at you, but I have always suspected there are few things more disarming than growing up knowing nothing but stereotypes and then finding yourself in a conversation with an intelligent, well spoken, almost genteel Southerner that you'd assumed was just a hick. And they're everywhere, which is great.

Disagree completely. At this point what Trump is engaged in is fratricide- and that doesn't serve anyone but his ego. Trump was good with actions, terrible with expressing direction and objectives. He was also terrible at trusting people and truly accomplishing all that was possible because of the distractions- which were purposefully consuming Trump's time. That's not what people are any or need in our country. Not will this garbage win an election. That's not to say I trust DeSantis either. I would like to see him held up to true scrutiny, not this rock throwing character assassination juvenile crap that Trump is engaging in. Irrespective they have different ideas about how to get things done and I for one would like to see them debate those differences, and expose any character flaws and weaknesses up front.

The only serious impediment to Democrats getting power as they want it is the primary schedule. Having SC early and CA late is a killer because SC is actually pretty secure in its vote mechanics, and it does end up reflecting the will of the Democrat electorate (hence, Biden wiping the floor with the coterie of woke nutjobs in 2020 by more than 30 points).
I expect that after 2024, when Biden wins the Democrat primary despite the different leftist factions throwing everything at it to win, there will be a renewed effort to revamp the primary schedule and push the cheating states up more.

As far as public personality, the miracle of the Rio Grande Valley needs to be confronted, and the likelihood that Trump won Clark County and thus NV - a ridiculous farce of zero election integrity that receives no attention for some reason. Both cases of a combined personality/policy appeal.

I caught a sea gull with a 'Rebel' lure once. Damn thing put up a helluva fight. Fortunately, when he got within 10 feet of the boat he got loose. Or maybe he was convinced the lure was the real thing and only let loose when he saw the danger he was in if he didn't give it up.

I keep a photo of half a dozen bloody polar bears eating a whale on my desktop, to post when people argue that we should be saving the polar bears.
Some years back there was a massive epidemic of sick/dying sea turtles alll through the Gulf and Caribbean, investigation and study determined that the ailment was Herpes...given to the initial turtles at a turtle rescue operation by "Turtle Savers" who swam in the rescue pools with turtles before their release/stocking into areas where they were "endangered". The disease spread to many many more turtles, affecting their nasal passages and lungs, creating pneumonia in thousands.
