To America’s hot-to-protest college students
- STFU, you DFHs!!
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
Dude shouldn’t be pulling out Dunning-Kruger to pontificate. Effect meet example!
and, most important, when you’ve actually like spent some time on your own like earning your own living, taking care of your own needs, filing out your own tax forms, and living free of the parental and academic umbilical cord
Hm, I did all that shit when I was in college. And I’d assume most of these students would have some understanding of economic privation, given the fact that they saw preserving unions to be important.
You really need to – like — get a grip on your bad selves.
Wait. What year is it, again?
I came to this thread for the promise of mammaries. My disappointment is boundless.
Oh, and incidentally, all my friends in college had jobs. Some of them had a couple, and that was just for living expenses. Most of us also had to rack up a fair amount of debt to actually pay for tuition and books and fees. And this was about 10 years ago.
Of course, I also didn’t waste my time with privileged, selfish, stupid assholes like Boortz.
Ouch, the disembark was far worse than the soundbite.
OK … now for the college students. Surely you saw them at the protests last week. For the most part their more cogent moments were spent standing in the Wisconsin Capital waving their fists in the air and screaming “Shame! Shame! Shame!” Now you gotta love a bunch of college students yelling “shame.” The benefits of higher education on display. Shame? Just how much under-age drinking, bong hits and Gawd-knows-what-else went on in Madison the night before
Mister Yuck!

Why did I read the comments? The hangover wasn’t enough headache? Ugh.

ATTS.
Has he boarded the “young people shouldn’t be allowed to vote” bandwagon yet?
“BamaBoySlim” is a real winner, isn’t he.
I bet chicks dig ’em.

Getchyer Mangoes here:
the more these government employee unions get slapped around by reality, the happier I am.
Something tells me Neal Boortz has never gotten slapped around by reality, unless “reality” is the name of a $500/session prostitute and Neal’s been payin’ for a little S&M action.
The real foreign object in the punch bowl for the unions and for Democrats was the end of dues check-off; the end of the union’s ability to have dues deducted from member’s paychecks rather than relying on the members to pay those dues voluntarily
The REAL foreign object in the punch Boratz and his kind won’t talk about is that elected public officials took away the rights of in state union members at the bidding of an out of state pair of billionaire brothers.
Boortz:
Golly. This effect applies only to college students or what?
Sadly, No! Unions may not use dues for political purposes. They have PACS for that. Depending on the state, members must explicitly agree or opt out of contributing and in some (many?) states PAC donations can’t be automatically deducted from payroll.
How are the mangoes? Worth it?
.
It’s funny, because the experience I’ve had with American students is that the binge drinkers and partyers tended to be the MBA students and the frat boys who parroted right-wing talking points at us while we were protesting.
I’ll admit we had a few occasional partakers of the devil’s weed on our side, though.
Also too, please insert a D-K (but not W) syndrome reference in my previous comment.
Shortier Boratz:
Turn that music down! In my day we went to college from 7 am to 5 am. Get a haircut! You young people have no manners!
GET OFFA MY LAWN!!!
Um. Where would you like that inserted, Pup?
To paraphrase Nicholson as Joker:
“This clown needs an enema!”
Okay Boortz, let’s do some thinking. We’ll go slow so you have time. Ready? OK, let’s ask ouselves a question. Just why were these college students calling out “Shame,shame!”?
Just how much under-age drinking, bong hits and Gawd-knows-what-else went on in Madison the night before
Damn punks didn’t invite me.
Typical. I’m still in the last thread talkin’ about fucking watermelons.

Listen…young people are too influenced by their feelings. Unlike teabaggers, who are ruled by unimpeachable logic.
“the more these government employee unions get slapped around by reality, the happier I am.”
See the violence inherent in the system!
And this would discount the protests how exactly?
The projection is strong with this one.

Not.
Fer sher, just a grumpy old man being grumpy.

Most watermelons are too big to microwave. Solar heating, then?

Reminds me of one of my favorite games, called “Time Traveler”. To play, just run breathlessly up to a total stranger and demand to know what the date is. When they answer, you shout, “No! the year! What year is it?” Then when they tell you, look off into the distance and whisper “Then there’s still time…”, then run off with a look of intense purpose.
Wouldn’t work with this jive turkey…
Union members pay taxes too, fucktard.

Donald Douglas, does he look good in a suit?
“Separately, Righthaven filed three more lawsuits in federal court in Denver this week, all alleging the same Denver Post TSA pat-down photo was re-posted without authorization.
The latest website operators to be sued are:

• Donald Douglas, americanpowerblog.blogspot.com.”

Good question. Here’s another one: how many of these guys will be able to completely erase their questionable past just by claiming that they’ve “found the Lord” and all these past activities don’t count? You know the type. Nixon, Wallace, Gingrich, Bush…

don’t be so hard on ya’seff. To be clear, you were talking about Smut fucking watermelons. A mental image you should be sorry for infling upon us. Bitch.
What? There’s melon molesting going on in the last thread? Remember, still legal in most states. IT’S NOT A BEAST.

My guess is he was only counting white union members. Or do the others suddenly count too?
“Shame? Just how much under-age drinking, bong hits and Gawd-knows-what-else went on in Madison the night before?”
Ask Rand Paul – he might have some idea.
Union members pay taxes too, fucktard.
Yeah, and if they’re as lucky and overprivileged and rich as they keep bitching about, they’re likely part of the taxpaying 47% that they always harp on about as carrying the rest of the country on their backs. (Including the many, many overweight asshole on Medicare scooter whose treatments are paid for with their tax dollars).
I’ll take smut and any sort of melon over that lingerie-clad truck-fucker any day of the week.
If I had to kill a thread, I’m happy to have done it with that.

Silly me. I should know better than to think a whinger like Booratz would consult an actual expert.
The more these government employee unions get slapped around by reality, the happier I am.
I feel that way about brainless radio meatsacks. Especially who say “some pay” or “some surveys show” or “about such and such percentage” etc without a single link.
Have you ever heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect? …. Dunning-Kruger is about illusory superiority … illusory because a person rates their ability much higher than it actually is. …. You, and only you, had all the answers to the union vs. the taxpayers impasse in Wisconsin. Congratulations.
EARLIER THAT DAY *wavy lines*
Not sure about you, but I was absolutely thrilled last week when Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signed the legislation ending most collective bargaining rights for government worker unions. The more these government employee unions get slapped around by reality, the happier I am.
I want to talk about the college students we saw protesting in Wisconsin … but first, let me remind you that this whole stink wasn’t really about collective bargaining rights.
Fucking ignorant students need to shut up and he’ll tell them what it’s about and how great it is.
A mental image you should be sorry for infling upon us.
Yeah, well, wait until you see the stereoscopic woodcuts he commissioned.
whinger like Booratz would consult an actual expert
They are all actual experts already. Just ask them.
I’m certain Mr Blartz would approve polling shareholders before a corporation could make political contributions, right? Right?

Sort of like the illusory superiority that you get by association from the fact that you’re American, Christian, white or God knows what the fuck.
Hell, you don’t even have to work for it. You’re born with it.
or God knows what the fuck.
You forgot the Holy Schwanger.

Matt, she’s talking to me.
The funny thing about Dunning-Kruger (buncha pointy-headed liberal-artsy-fartsy elitist social “science” that it is), is that the more convinced one is of one’s own competence, the less competent he or she is likely to be viewed by others, and vice-versa. Mr. Bloortz appears to be quite sure of his own competence–I wonder if his co-workers will catch the irony here, even if he doesn’t.
From Sourcewatch, a Boortz wisdom:
In an interview about the book on Fox News’ Hannity & Colmes said: “Look, Al Qaeda, they could bring in a nuke into this country and kill 100,000 people with a well-placed nuke somewhere. Ok. We would recover from that. It would be a terrible tragedy, but the teachers unions in this country can destroy a generation.”[7]
In 2006, Boortz “referred to a black congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney: ‘She looks like a ghetto slut. It looks like an explosion in a Brillo pad factory.’
“Look, Al Qaeda, they could bring in a nuke into this country and kill 100,000 people with a well-placed nuke somewhere. Ok. We would recover from that. It would be a terrible tragedy, but the teachers unions in this country can destroy a generation.”

The worst part, because of the lack of resources today’s teachers have at their disposal, a lot of kids may turn out like Boortz.
Similar to yahoo, the comments section of Clown Hall are filled with… well… clowns.

They don’t know the difference? What the fuck is that all about? How come when they were young it was cool to protest? But now, after they’ve sucked the economy and environment dry by voting for GOPers, they say that today’s young don’t know shit.
Aw man I killed the thread. Fuck me.
Shhh. Is Esteev still here?
Nope
Like the two kids pictured here.
Er. Umm.
Walker got about 37% of the union vote and Feingold’s opponent about 40%
Think they learned their lesson?
Do I have to beg, Pupienus?
Might be best. He’s a maximi dude.
Full name Marcus Clodius Pupienus Maximus
(from birth to accession);
Imperator Caesar Marcus Clodius Pupienus Maximus Augustus (as emperor)
Sometimes the Emperor posts only as Pupenius not as P Maximus I geuss it’s if you rub him the wron…or right…um..oh never mind.
Some teachers have it RUFF
Can’t you just BUY a dog and fuck it? Or head down to the shelter and get your dog whore for free-ish?
Asking for a friend.
Esteev, I’ve noticed that you tend to post in the 5:00 pm+ time period. That tends to be when a lot of people are heading home from working or doing some sort of family and/or transitional thing. You don’t have B.O., I promise.
Good call, VS. I have no concept of time.
“Look, Al Qaeda, they could bring in a nuke into this country and kill 100,000 people with a well-placed nuke somewhere. Ok. We would recover from that. It would be a terrible tragedy, but the teachers unions in this country can destroy a generation.”
He’s channeling Barry Goldwater.
“Walter Reuther is a more dangerous menace than the Sputnik or anything Soviet Russia might do to America.”
Refocusing war hysteria onto domestic political adversaries and away from actual enemies is a time-honored Republican tactic. Goes back to Joe McCarthy.

Ya know, with all the ways there are to get off in this fine nation, I will NEVER understand stuff like this.

Why by the dog when you can just borrow your neighbor’s? Besides, I would presume that there would be some…um…careful training rquired. I mean, dogs have teeth y’know. It ain’t like fuckin’ a sheep.
..or so I’ve heard.
Mordor doesn’t have daylight savings time. Mordor legislates it’s own time.
Why BUY the dog…
Just I keed alert:
“The bitch asked for it.”
Do I have to beg, Pupienus?
No. But I like it better that way.
I noticed just today that I have Pupienus only on my iPhone but PMax on the iPad and PC.
Hmmm, Pupienus on my iPhone… have at it kids
“Some teachers have it RUFF”
Should have moved to FL.
Look, Al Qaeda, they could bring in a nuke into this country and kill 100,000 people with a well-placed nuke somewhere.
I just finished watching Brian Williams read the news about the disaster in Japan. I’m concerned that the news is only dominated by a few things: Muslim extremism in the US (despite a larger threat from right-wing extremists), the distraction named Charlie Sheen, and (now) Japan. Meanwhile, a 100,000 people protested in Wisconsin with little-to-no coverage.
I am by no means belittling the tragedy in Japan. I just find the wall-to-wall coverage as nothing more than disaster-porn and a type of how-does-this-tragedy-affect-America (specifically the financial markets) craziness.
What is going on?
Do I have to beg, Pupienus?
DO NOT roll over and play dead.
“the teachers unions in this country can destroy a generation.”
Evidently there is no down-side in US political discourse from sounding like Pol Pot.
” When they answer, you shout, “No! the year! What year is it?” Then when they tell you, look off into the distance and whisper “Then there’s still time…”, then run off with a look of intense purpose.”

How does one run with a halting, over-enunciated monotone?
On another topic, I’ve moved from blog-whoring to blog-pimping: Willy has left some really good explanations of the Japan nukeular situation at my place.
“How does one run with a halting, over-enunciated monotone?”
It takes talent.
Esteev, I’ve noticed that you tend to post in the 5:00 pm+ time period.
This makes me nervous. Is VS assembling a flow-chart or something?
Also, which time zone? The United Snakes has nine. (Our hoser friends only have five, but I doubt if any one from the Maritimes has a computer, so we needn’t worry.)

Eggs fucking Ackley. Terrible thing in Japan (Really, it isn’t: You are all going to die anyway, & it makes no fucking difference whether you go at four or 40, so stop whining!) but there is little to nothing anyone not in Japan can do, & all we here can do is send money. So throw up a slide w/ the Red Cross # & website on it at the end of the newscast,* but focus on what is actually affecting people here (IMPENDING FEUDALISM!!!) & tell people how to stop it.
*If people can’t figure out the Red Cross # or website w/o prompting, they won’t have any money to give anyway, so don’t even bother.

I disagree. Some people are that lazy but still have a sense of guilt.

Why? Did you vote or something?
Who is victimized by conservatives? TRUE CONSERVATIVES.
Does voting effect menses?

Criminy, don’t let Slayer know.
Well, it’s the womenses who their uteruseses legislated upon.
Some people are that lazy but still have a sense of guilt.
Survivor’s guilt? Does that even apply?
I’m certainly the laziest, but guilt is a bourgeois emotion, & I’ll have none of it.

I think the implication was that it affected womenses.
That’s true, sub.
I read your linked page. I LOVE how he works in references to both The Sex Pistols and The Ramones. Good lawd.
Fuck you. Just fuck you. And not in the nice way like I’m fucking Esteev.
Some people are that lazy but still have a sense of guilt.
I’m lazy and have no guilt.
M., I assure you I’m far too lazy to engage in any sort of stalkeresque behavior.
And yet, this piece of human shit does not even understand the concept of guilt. Or thought.
I’m certainly the laziest, but guilt is a bourgeois emotion, & I’ll have none of it.

Menstruation is a part of the natural self-cleaning process of the body, and even though they claim to make you feel “springtime fresh” politicians are a completely unnecessary addition.
Ha! Yup, they just make me feel dirtier.

Whoa…as I started watching I didn’t find much wrong with it… then… wow.

More on conservo-divisions, from Substantial’s link:
I really do not want to know what an “LA cavalryman” is. Maybe he means Louisiana & I shouldn’t worry. (Also note that not even I, a semi-Luddite, use a CD player anymore, even though I have several devices that could play a CD.)
And more on the same sort of thing:
I’m sure those true conservatives were rocking “Bonzo Goes to Bitburg”.
What’d I do to that second blockquote?
Must be the semi-Luddite.
BTW, if that vile, deluded girl’s god is real, I’d rather spend eternity in hell than hang out with that evil, abusive asshole.
Also, “Lentil season”. Heh.
The real conservative today is aggressive, outspoken and (worst of all for the Conservanerds) cares nothing for the approval of the elite.
Cares nothing for the approval of the elite? So they fellate the Kochs for pleasure?
That makes us anathema.
He misspelled “an enema”.
Now I am forced to watch all of that for the “lentil season” part.
Kansas doesn’t have grizzlies…

I cant get over the PUNK cred that guy so DESPERATELY craves. Um, how many NASCAR dads do you think choose punk over country?
The fact is, liberals, don’t bother with the protests. We win. Freedom wins. Free markets win. And hippys who hate America should get teargassed and clubbed. So happy that liberalism has been fooly repfudiated.
I think crazy girl is a Poe. If so, her latest is pushing the boundaries, but I think her schtick is Poe’s Law in action.

OK, not much for the “you win” bit, but YEZZZZZZ!!
WTF, “I prayed for God to open the eyes of atheists and then a lot of innocent people (some of whom were undoubtedly Christians anyway) died horribly in a natural disaster so YAY GOD!” “Good” means something very different in their dictionary I suppose.
I hope so, B4, it’s just too horrible otherwise. Not that I haven’t heard similar from people who meant it.
I don’t know what all this fuss is about the Diane Kruger Effect. She’s slender, blonde, and German, for sure, but she seems like a nice person, and Pacey loves her, so it looks like a win-win to me.
This is not a new phenomenon. Starting with Goldwater and up through the Reagan years, a bunch of new folks flooded into the Conservative movement, folks that were less William F. Buckley and more John Wayne – or even Johnny Rotten.
Umm, William F. Buckley was one of them too. The first seed in modern movement conservatism was probably him, actually.
I think crazy girl is a Poe. If so, her latest is pushing the boundaries, but I think her schtick is Poe’s Law in action.
Awwwww. You’ve obviously never met anyone like this before. Lucky you!
She has the glassy-eyed look of a True Believer. If it’s a Poe, it’s fucking briliant.

Blah blah blah.

True that. I actually felt a little sorry for her for being such a brainwashed freak when I thought she was a brainwashed freak, especially since she’s so young.
And, why is it “trolling?” It doesn’t qualify as satire, lampoon or parody?
I suppose it’s a parody but she’s just trying to incite a negative response and, if you look at the comments, she succeeded. Sadly, she doesn’t know the rules of the internet: don’t piss people off or they will find out your address and phone number.
It doesn’t qualify as satire, lampoon or parody?
Well, at least for me, it feels like trolling because she played it sooo straight, and because I’ve met people who have acted like that and said that same kind of vile shit. Seriously, when I said that she had the glassy-eyed look of a True Believer, I meant it. And I guess I don’t see the value in that last video, at least. Does anyone think it’s funny or amusing at all now that they know it’s fake? I don’t. She’s just trying to get people angry.
4 chan has her
She’s practicing cuz she doesn’t want to be a Handmaid when Gilead is formed.
4 chan has her
Of course she’s a /b/tard.
Obligatory
I love fry.
Bit of a ratfuck element involved too. And such as.
I love fry.
Then you’ll love this!
It’s spreading.
It’s spreading.
NOooooo! PZ has fed the tro//!1! Someone has to tell him that she’s just a dick.
She has a video where she claims that world of warcraft was evil and that you’re bringing out real demons into the world by playing it. I am not joking when I say I wet myself.

I guess I have known far too many fundies, because it really doesn’t seem that farfetched (I almost wrote “fartfetched”) to me that someone would believe that.
Is it possible to know too few fundies?
(I almost wrote “fartfetched”)
Aw man, I had just changed my pants from the WoW/demons expulsion! C’mon!
I see what you did there.
Is it possible to know too few fundies?
No. No it is not.
Is it possible to know too few fundies?
How come there are so few fundies on the coasts?
People moving away from fundies.
Because they want to keep away from all the gays and libtards. Duh.
Who wants to make a hot toddy for me? It’ll probably be my last of the lentil season.
I had seasoned lentils for lunch, that’s how devout I am.
Fine. I made one myself. I had much less Maker’s than I thought…
“I am not joking when I say I wet myself.”
Let the record show that I was done with Esteev some while ago. I wasn’t even there.
Whose crazy uncle did this thing come from? I on a more serious note, WTF are we dealing with? [From the comments]

Subject: Atten: Death threat!!!! Bomb!!!!
Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your familes will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks. Please explain to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell. Read below for more information on possible scenarios in which you will die.
WE want to make this perfectly clear. Because of your actions today and in the past couple of weeks I and the group of people that are working with me have decided that we’ve had enough. We feel that you and the people that support the dictator have to die. We have tried many other ways of dealing with your corruption but you have taken things too far and we will not stand for it any longer. So, this is how it’s going to happen: I as well as many others know where you and your family live, it’s a matter of public records. We have all planned to assult you by arriving at your house and putting a nice little bullet in your head. However, we decided that we wouldn’t leave it there. We also have decided that this may not be enough to send the message to you since you are so “high” on Koch and have decided that you are now going to single handedly make this a dictatorship instead of a demorcratic process. So we have also built several bombs that we have placed in various locations around the areas in which we know that you frequent.
This includes, your house, your car, the state capitol, and well I won’t tell you all of them because that’s just no fun. Since we know that you are not smart enough to figure out why this is happening to you we have decided to make it perfectly clear to you. If you and your goonies feel that it’s necessary to strip the rights of 300,000 people and ruin their lives, making them unable to feed, clothe, and provide the necessities to their families and themselves then We Will “get rid of” (in which I mean kill) you. Please understand that this does not include the heroic Rep. Senator that risked everything to go aganist what you and your goonies wanted him to do. We feel that it’s worth our lives to do this, because we would be saving the lives of 300,000 people. Please make your peace with God as soon as possible and say goodbye to your loved ones we will not wait any longer. YOU WILL DIE!!!!”

Surely you saw them at the protests last week. For the most part their more cogent moments were spent standing in the Wisconsin Capital waving their fists in the air and screaming “Shame! Shame! Shame!”
yes. I long for the Teabaggers,who comport themselves with grace and dignity.
Okay, this is just some intern being a smartass. HAS to be.

I merely told a manager I had to “get out of this place before I kill someone,” but they were too chicken to immediately fire me, instead suspending me until they could get firing approval from corporate HQ.
And I wasn’t really that appalling. I really should’ve tried to kill that fuck-head. Ahhh, regrets.

Good news from Japan on the feline front.
Even if it takes a while for more relief to get there, the cats can eat the elderly humans.
I think I’m going to hang it up, maybe forever. Being here isn’t helping me or anyone else. I don’t plan on being DED or anything, oh jeebus, no. Do not worry. I like the world far too much. But as much as I love all of y’all, this is not good for me.
Larkspur, you are funny. That is helpful.
this is not good for me
Huh? Whatchoo talkin’ ’bout, Larkspur?
On the feline front, Maru is safe.
Of course. Maru was safe in a box when it happened, n’est-ce pas?
“it also mentioned that the cherry blossoms would be blooming from March 29. Lasting only a single day, they are seen as a poignant symbol of the impermanence of things.”
Cherry blossoms in Japan last about two weeks – not a single day – and Japanese people will be sitting under the blossoms on blue tarps getting shitfaced the whole time. Cherry blossoms are a poignant symbol of alcohol abuse.
Sorry, I missed the reference, where did this come from?
Article in the Daily Torygraph, found by Substance:
The bright side:
The author claims to have trained as a geisha, has written a couple of orientalising sub-Clavell novels about the exotic mysterious East, and is the Torygraph’s on-call expert for feeding back to their readership all the things they already believe about Japan.
missed the reference, where did this come from?
From The Torygraph, as did this lovely item, which of course led to this sort of thing.
(Now I’m thinking Larkspur, amusing as she is, just may not have the stomach/bizarre appetite for rolling in reactionary dog-shit that some of us do.)
That’s just as condescending a piece of shit as that Keith Morrison Dateline photo essay the other night.
It’s as condescending as saying black folks have “natural rhythm.”
fuck me. These people are suffering, and it’s bullshit to say that somehow, culturally, their suffering is unimportant. Even if you think its a good thing.
“Why is there no looting in Japan?”
Well, because they don’t have to loot. Like white folks, they just “gather supplies.”
Of course. Maru was safe in a box when it happened, n’est-ce pas?
“Like, ah, snatch, box and pussy all have other meanings, man. Even in a Walt Disney movie, you can say, We’re going to snatch that pussy and put him in a box and bring him on the airplane.”

These people are suffering, and it’s bullshit to say that somehow, culturally, their suffering is unimportant.
It’s more a case that the Torygraph’s editors are worried that the disaster news will spook elderly Brits, to the point of withdrawing their investments & pension funds with too much exposure to the Japanese economy. So the word came down: “Write 2000 soothing ameliorative words about the capacity of the Japanese to pick themselves up off the ground and keep the world economy stable.”
This is the Torygraph. Its mission statement is all about “comforting the comfortable”.
“Why is there no looting in Japan?”
I for one am impressed by the ability of a columnist in the UK to watch the aerial footage of disaster in a foreign country and tell whether or not people at ground level are looting.
I suspect that the author of M. Bouffant’s “Why is there no looting in Japan?” link was aware of the weakness of his thesis, i.e. his absence of any observations (leaving him to form expectations of what was happening in Japan on the basis of his stereotypes, and report them as fact). Because he presents a Google search to show that “I’m not the only one curious about this”.
Ladies and gentlemen, the intellectual courage of a tory columnist. “My opinions may have no basis outside stupidity and racism, but they are shared by many other people.”

Sen. Fitzgerald: Email re: Senate Democrat voting privileges in standing committees
3/14/2011
From: Sen.Fitzgerald
Sent: Monday, March 14, 2011 3:52 PM
To: *Legislative Senate Republicans
Subject: Senate Democrat voting privileges in standing committees
Dear Members,
With the return of the Senate Democrats this weekend, questions have arisen regarding Democrat members’ participation in Senate standing committee public hearings and executive sessions.
Please note that all 14 Democrat senators are still in contempt of the Senate. Therefore, when taking roll call votes on amendments and bills during executive sessions, Senate Democrats’ votes will not be reflected in the Records of Committee Proceedings or the Senate Journal. They are free to attend hearings, listen to testimony, debate legislation, introduce amendments, and cast votes to signal their support/opposition, but those votes will not count, and will not be recorded.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact my office.
Thank you,
Scott Fitzgerald
Senate Majority Leader
13th Senate District
“Why is there no looting in Japan?”
I live in Tokyo so all my relatives have been phoning and emailing and all my right-wing family members keep telling me how impressed they are with the Japanese. “If this happened in America, there would be looting everywhere!”, “It’s the way things used to be here!” and “I am afraid of black people!”
A couple of points:
1. The store shelves in Tokyo are empty. Restaurants are closig because they have no supplies. Water, bread, milk are all gone – but there has been no price gouging. That’s the difference between Japan and the right wing dream of America.
2. There would not be looting in America. This event hit small towns and wiped them off the map. Where would the survivors be looting from? Tokyo and other major cities weren’t severly damaged and there is still a cop on every corner.
3. Having said that, in three years I’ve never seen a Japanese homeless person (and they exist in significant numbers) ask for change so there are indeed some cultural differences that may be in play here.
4. This isn’t really related to anything but we watched on TV the rescue workers handing out plain onigiri to the survivors (sticky white rice made into a ball) my girlfriend says “Oh, yummy!”. So the Japanese are maybe better equipped to deal with something like this than North Americans.
I was able to tie in vaginas, a cat, the Japan tragedy and the SCOTUS in one comment using only my copy/pasta powers.and still remain on topic. Is there some kind of Sadly, No! award for this or something? The Golden _________ perhaps?
Well, because they don’t have to loot. Like white folks, they just “gather supplies.”
Much of the footage I’ve seen indicates there’s not much to loot.
And the Japanese gov’t. may actually be helping people, unlike recent American “You’re on your own, loser!” disasters.
I for one am impressed by the ability of a columnist in the UK to watch the aerial footage of disaster in a foreign country and tell whether or not people at ground level are looting.

in three years I’ve never seen a Japanese homeless person (and they exist in significant numbers) ask for change so there are indeed some cultural differences that may be in play here.
As a once homeless person, my curiosity is piqued. And as someone who’s lived in another country (‘though not as other to me as Japan would be) I realize you may not be completely up on what they’re up to, but would you guesstimate that most of the Tokyo homeless are mentally ill who no longer have a family to take care of them?
Any idea how they survive w/o begging?
The Golden _________ perhaps?

When your state’s new laws endeavor to create their own personal self-appointed Committees Of Public Safety (see: The Terror, 1790) it might just be time to seriously contemplate orchestrating some kind of meaningful negative reinforcement for the perpetrators of such epic fuckery. Some might argue that giving appointed regional officials actual warlord status could have very unfortunate short-term & long-term consequences for the residents of said regions who differ with their ideology.
What’s going down in Michigan right now would have folks in most countries unleashing serious levels of BURN DOWN FUCKING EVERYTHING NOW.
Results are in: America is now officially the most mellow country ever. Eat your hearts out, Bhutan!

Sort of like this, but as a dildo.
“It’s only a problem if they’re called ‘czars’.”
That’s why we need more communists in office. You know, to get rid of all the czars.
The fickle finger of Fate diddles, & having diddled, moves on.
I think that a portion of the homeless population are mentally ill obviously.
I think the majority are societal drop-outs who got fucked over in the Japanese economic crash in the 90’s and never recovered.
Japanese companies hire once a year. If you came out of school or got laid off during the crash, you had to compete with the new graduates when companies started hiring again a couple of years later. There is a name for these people but I can’t remember it.
Tokyo’s homeless sleep hidden away in parks (sometimes in shanty towns) or in major train stations. All of their belongings are packed neatly on wheeled carts and wrapped in blue tarps. They seem to spend their days reading newspapers. Public bathing is traditional and popular and cheap so homeless people tend to be cleaner in Japan and so don’t always stand out.
Honestly the only homeless person I have talked to here told me in perfect English that my marriage was an abomination and that my wife (girlfriend actually) had been brainwashed by Hollywood. He seemed more like a standard racist than a mentally ill person.
I have been in Ueno park one afternoon when they had a couple of hundred homeless people sitting in rows and volunteers were distributing hot food and some performers were singing bad western folk music. I get the feeling that most are supported by family or private charity – my company has onigiri making events to help feed the homeless several times a year. Possibly they are getting some money from the government each month as well. It is possible to eat extremely cheaply in Tokyo if you try.
Most Japanese pretend the homeless don’t exist and might even tell you that they don’t. I think some have convinced themselves.
Thanks for the info, Shaun.
All of their belongings are packed neatly on wheeled carts and wrapped in blue tarps.
The blue tarp seems to be international. (Do they make no other colors, anywhere?)
And that hiring deal sounds like grim shit. Falling through the cracks & all.

Well, much as I’d like to take credit for that, sadly, no!
Snyder’s law gives the state government the power not only to break up unions, but to dissolve entire local governments and place appointed “Emergency Managers” in their stead. But that’s not all — whole cities could be eliminated if Emergency Managers and the governor choose to do so. And Snyder can fire elected officials unilaterally, without any input from voters. It doesn’t get much more anti-Democratic than that.
This easily dwarfs anyone’s concerns about “czars,” and it reinforces once again the problem with libertarianism – it’s not pro-individual-liberty, it’s anti-federal-government. They don’t give a damn if anyone gives himself the right to abolish local government, rule by decree and turn over public government to his cronies, just so it’s not someone from the federal government that does it. By this logic was slavery upheld in the name of precious, precious states’ “rights.”
Except it does. The governor simply has to declare a financial emergency to invoke these powers — or he can hire a private company to declare financial emergency and take over oversight of the city. That’s right, a private corporation can declare your city in a state of financial emergency and send in its Emergency Manager, fire your elected officials, and reap the benefits of the ensuing state contracts….
Much as I hate steampunk, I’ve never gotten into cyberpunk. That’s my tough luck, because the future it describes (a recurring feature of which is big corporations literally controlling everything) appears to be more and more like the world we’re living in.
I suppose the good news is that this will likely fuel a voter backlash… let’s hope said backlash actually goes somewhere.
Larkspur, I know those Streisand jokes were appallingly stoopit, but that is no reason to go.
I was actually gonna make the Mentl joke last night before Sub did…but I couldn’t remember if the actual movie was “Mental” or something else. I was wracking my brain…NUTS!!!!
Reminds me of one of my favorite games, called “Time Traveler”. To play, just run breathlessly up to a total stranger and demand to know what the date is. When they answer, you shout, “No! the year! What year is it?” Then when they tell you, look off into the distance and whisper “Then there’s still time…”, then run off with a look of intense purpose.
I do this all the time. The sad part of it is that I’m not doing it as a game, I’m just terribly bad at keeping track of time and frequently forget where in a month I am, or what month it is, and as a result can occasionally get confused as to what year it is.
I like to imagine that that freaks people out more, since I’m acting remarkably sincere about asking what year it is.
This easily dwarfs anyone’s concerns about “czars,” and it reinforces once again the problem with libertarianism – it’s not pro-individual-liberty, it’s anti-federal-government.
Well, here’s the rub… liberty’s on a sliding scale. Those Americans with ladyparts should get none, those without ladyparts, but without boucoup bucks should get some, but a captain of industry should not be fettered in any manner, even if he wants to infringe on your liberty.

Getting back to this topic, these farms dump cheap corn on the Mexican market, causing small farms to go under, and driving the campesinos to migrate to America, because they can’t make a living at home anymore.
GO GO GATT!!!
I was actually going to type “don’t they use combine harvesters?” but I got lazy.
Yeah, I mean, the idea of a hardworking farmer is pretty much bullshit these days, given that most farms are corporations and their owners sit on their asses for most of the year until it’s time to get that sweet government money. (BTW, I have the utmost respect for people who are trying to get by in an economy that is totally fucked and a system that is completely dysfunctional).
So, they’re stealing low paying, extremely dangerous jobs from Americans who want dirt cheap, E. coli laden meat? THIS IS SPARTA MURDER BURGER COUNTRY!!!!
Commercial meat processing does have an extremely depressing effect on wages overall; as meat is processed more and more plant-side and presented to us in perfectly wrapped, tri-gassed packages (look it up, people–EWWWW), skilled laborers who used to be assured of solid, working-class jobs are being put out of work.
That’s not the immigrants’ fault, though. It’s the fault of businesses that are looking for ways to save money no matter how many lives they ruin, as well as the American consumers’ refusal to pay for safe, quality food*, and lack of examination of where their food comes from.
*We spend a smaller percentage of our incomes on food than we ever have in the history of the US. I realize that a lot of people don’t have any choice but to buy cheap food due to the other economic pressures (ironically created by the same types of people who have remade the meat processing industry) that are exerted on them from other areas. However, it irritates me when people demand quality and safety in their food, but don’t want to ensure that it happens by spending more on it and don’t examine the reasons why food is unsafe in general. The only thing worse is to complain about illegal immigrants AND the price of food. Do you want your cheap-ass, mealy, nasty tomato from California, or do you want the Messicans to go back? Because you can’t have both. Assholes.
Getting back to this topic, these farms dump cheap corn on the Mexican market, causing small farms to go under, and driving the campesinos to migrate to America, because they can’t make a living at home anymore.
YUP.
God, our food system is so, so fucked.
Let’s not even get started on how reliant we are on fossil fuels to keep it running. I don’t think people realize that when the price of oil goes up, it doesn’t just affect their budgets for gas, but that EVERYTHING gets more expensive.
That’s not the immigrants’ fault, though. It’s the fault of businesses that are looking for ways to save money no matter how many lives they ruin, as well as the American consumers’ refusal to pay for safe, quality food*, and lack of examination of where their food comes from.
The same businesses have ruined the Mexican farms, forcing Mexicans off the land and into maquiladoras, which close when the corporations seek even cheaper labor in China, then the poor peasants are forced to seek subsistence elsewhere, typically El Norte. Of course, this only accelerates the race to the bottom.
Yet, nobody’s got the stones to talk about repealing NAFTA or GATT. Even the anti-immigration forces love the cheap labor (that farcical Texas law exempting rich folks from paying fines for hiring illegal domestics comes to mind)- they just want to get Joe Whitey all angried up so he’ll blame the campesinos instead of the real villains. Divide and conquer, baby!
Not OT, becuz there is no T, upthread, Esteev wrote that Brian Williams just reported yadda yadda. This was clearly written yesterday afternoon, but I digress. The point I wish to make is that no lefty should be watching Brian fucking Williams. This a-hole has taken it upon himself to balance MSNBC by parroting right wing talking points. Two examples: he has crusaded against the “light-bulb police” and three weeks ago, he stated, on-air, that Gov. Walker had “campaigned on” destroying public-sector unions.
That is all. Carry on.
LAAAAAAARKSPUUUUUUUUR! Noooooooooo!

Typical upper class twit.
Holy crap, I just noticed Larkspur’s comment upthread. I really hope she’ll be back. Sometimes it’s tough to read what these morons have to write, but it’s crucial to know what they’re saying and to attempt to counter the flow of B.S.
I hope she’ll stop by from time to time, even though I understand the idea of washing off the sewage, and helicoptering off the boat to take refuge on higher ground in better climes.
Feral hogs are doing pretty well everywhere (including Kansas) and not just in the USA. France and Germany have both introduced new hunting programs and are still behind the curve. They are a constant problem in the barrier islands of the Southeast here (GA) and there’s a guy up in Ossabaw marketing acorn fed ham. Restoring top tier predators would help a lot. They’re supposed to stock Okefenokee with Florida panthers this year which would make me happy; I suppose wolves are too much to hope for.
Wild hog is delicious, lean and dark. The fifty pounders are perfect for cue, I’ve got half a one in the freezer for a party in a couple of weeks.
This guy Peck is odious all right, it’s surprising he didn’t get in a dig about roasting those Messicans he wants to hunt.
That’s not the immigrants’ fault, though. It’s the fault of businesses that are looking for ways to save money no matter how many lives they ruin, as well as the American consumers’ refusal to pay for safe, quality food*, and lack of examination of where their food comes from.
Right, but like you pointed out lower, a lot of people just can’t afford to be picky about the quality and origin of their food. (Not just an effect of Recession 2008: income stagnating for decades while cost of living continues to go up will do that to you).
IOW, it’s the effects of the Reagan Revolution. Since 1980, money just doesn’t trickle down anymore, which means eighty to ninety percent of the country is having to live on the cheap, more and more cheaply. Get the money flowing downwards again and you’ll fix a ton of our economic problems. But that means reversing thirty years of Reaganism, and among other things bringing back a strong union movement.
B^4, you have to admire their sheer evil. Almost.
The secondary effect of all this shit is that the American people are like the frogs boiling in the pot or whatever. Sure, we’re not getting paid shit and we have no manufacturing base, but our ability to buy cheap-ass shit masks how badly off we truly are. And when we finally realize it, the system’s already almost impossible to dismantle and propaganda about the Brown Menace has been accepted as fact.

Chalk another one up for projection, because that’s a favorite metaphor of theirs (the creeping welfare state will be imposed conspiratorialy one little bit at a time and you won’t feel it just like a frog boiling in a pot).

I totally agree. But there are also people who refuse to pay more for food even when they have the money. I agree that we’re all being fucked, but it would be nice to see American consumers use their buying powers. I’m certainly no saint at ALL, but I try to make ethical choices. Most people don’t care.
There is a growing locavore movement, and it’s slowly gaining ground. I just wish that people would think about what they eat more.
Since 1980, money just doesn’t trickle down anymore, which means eighty to ninety percent of the country is having to live on the cheap, more and more cheaply.
The rub is, they haven’t been living on the cheap, they’ve been living on the Credit Card.

I agree. Smug people are smug. I’m ready to nuke the term “foodie,” too, but I can’t seem to come up with a good alternative.
Are you talking about Barbara Kingsolver? If so, I’d have to disagree in this particular instance, as that book was more about having a small working farm to feed a family supplemented with local foods. In other words, it was more about growing stuff than buying stuff.

Fluevog shoes are certainly fetish items for the ladies around here. The gossip has it that the owner is a pretty nice guy, although the stuff about “resisting Satan” on the shoes may not be wholly ironic.

Old Fluevog interview. Maybe not that Christian, but kooky.
I preface this OT by saying that normally, I never get my news from TV (I prefer written format on the Interwebs – no paper to get rid of and the commercials don’t require you to sit through them).
But I was in line at my bank just now and the TV was showing the news. In the five minutes I was in line, I first saw images of Japan, with the commenter making amazed statements about how “my God, there’s no looting in Japan! These people just have such strong moral values!” as mentioned above.
Then, there was a car commercial. (Something yellow and sporty, but I can’t remember the brand, so I guess the commercial failed. I’m sorry, that’s neither here nor there).
Then, there was a political commercial against unions and Obama asking me if I was tired of paying for the lazy unionized government employees (e.g. my coworkers since October and until the end of this month).
It’s not that any of it surprises, me, it’s just that this… was CNN. It’s kind of depressing to know that this is what passes as “the liberal media establishment.”

Never work too hard, never feel bad, and never worry.
Can anyone say “turn on, tune in, drop out?” How about “if it feels good, do it?”
We’d NEED to chip in to get her some o’ those shoes. Some of them are 300+. We’re getting into almost hoity-toity designer shoes territory there.
I will happily get her a pair from here, though.

Eel is excellent food but we might be the last generation to know it, they’re nearly gone. All that eel in sushi joints is farm raised in China from elvers caught in Maine and northern Europe (mostly France IIRC). The world wide eel population crash is a bummer and unlikely to turn around anytime soon.
Bunkers will always be with us it seems. Can’t imagine eating one, maybe they’d make decent nuoc mam, usually made from a smaller relative of theirs.

When “intelligent design” was being proposed as a Trojan Horse to get creationism into the schools, the book “Of Pandas and People” a creationist screed, received a poor “secular makeover”- the word “creationist” was swapped out for “design proponent”, but the printer screwed up. Yeah, “intelligent design” is secular, with no mention of who the “designer” may be…
Yeah, Scott Adams is a creationist.

“If the screenplay remains as it is, suffice it to say that Thor’s efforts to retrieve the hammer will provide movie goers with an excellent display of things like focused aggression, righteous indignation, and a proper use of one’s fists”
Thanks, B^4.
Don’t you find it interesting that having hip/rock/punk cred is deeply important to conservatives?
Variably important. It’s still very popular among conservatives to attack hip, rock, punk and pop culture in general as crude, obscene, degenerate, shallow, oversexualized, antipatriotic, and populated by DFHs. At the same time, whenever a pop culture icon turns out to be conservative, they do indeed go fucking wild.
It’s the same logic as being a misfit in middle school who turns his nose up at the popular kids (“fine, I never liked you anyway“) when they reject him, but will still leap at the chance to be their friend should it ever present itself.
Or what T&U said. Vast inferiority complex.

My browser is wonky (Verizon “upgraded” our T00bz at work)- but in the original Norse myths, Thor’s hammer was stolen by the jotun Thrymir, who wanted to marry the goddess Freyja- Thor dressed up as the goddess (bridal veil and all) to retrieve it. Once again, the bleepin’ rightards don’t know what the hell they’re talking about.
Of course, once he got his hammer back, Asa-Thor kicked some major ass.
Sub, I had that exact convo with the missus just two weeks ago!! I said, you know, the way to shut up these idiots claiming MLK was a Rep is to ask them what he was doing in Memphis on April 4, 1968. Sure ’nuff, the comments over there are staggeringly stupid.

EdSki, BreitBart Commenter:
“I refuse to allow cheap thug unions sully my memory and ideals of who Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was and stood for.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, talking about what he stood for:
“In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as ‘right to work.’ It is a law to rob us of our civil rights and job rights. It is supported by Southern segregationists who are trying to keep us from achieving our civil rights and our right of equal job opportunity. Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining by which unions have improved wages and working conditions of everyone. Wherever these laws have been passed, wages are lower, job opportunities are fewer and there are no civil rights. We do not intend to let them do this to us. We demand this fraud be stopped. Our weapon is our vote.”
I’m sorry asshole, if you’re looking for union-busting inspiration, you’re going to have to look somewhere other than MLK.

Anybody got a Big Ho account? I’ll be goddamned if I’ll sign up, even to kick sand in this whiny assed insecure boy:
Not surprisingly, big screen super heroes and mythic figures of valor – male figures – have been among the hardest hit by this revisionism. As a result, the mighty have learned to cry, the powerful to admit vulnerability, and the brave to second-guess themselves, all in an effort to win over the effeminized masses. And this is what makes the screenplay for the upcoming feature film, “THOR,” so wonderful: not because it carries on the ridiculous revisionism, but because it shatters it with a hammer blow from Thor himself.
Thor dressing up as a woman to retrieve his hammer- not revisionism.
Uh, in his face…

Bob” and “Beth” wanted to hang out, so I invited them to Doug Giles’ church. They could get a twofer: spy on the Gileses and me at the same time. They attended. When I whispered to a friend that I thought they were spies, my friend said, “Shake ’em off!”
We lunched again. Still, I know nothing about them, and they know everything about me. As I got in my car to leave, I realized I’d invited “Beth” to the W.I.N. meeting at my new home! Yikes! How did that happen? What if she puts bugs in my house? We have nothing to hide, but just the fact that I think she’s a spy, makes me feel spooky, like I can’t relax and be myself. I also don’t have the time or the energy to spy on a spy.
Several of my military friends agree there might be a file on me, on anyone who disagrees with this government, especially so publicly. “It might not be you they are spying on, but who you know; Breitbart, Hannah Giles, Farah, etc.” I was supposed to text “Beth” my address; instead I texted her, “You are really sweet, but since I think you’re a spy, I can’t hang out with you. It’s too weird. If you’re not a spy, sorry, you’re really sweet.” She never responded or called again.
My husband says I want them to be spies because it’s “drama” and I’m a bored housewife.

“Alberto had been trained by the Jesuits to be an under-cover agent. He had been assigned to infiltrate and destroy Protestant churches and even their seminaries! To his shock, he discovered that, according to the Bible, Roman Catholics are not saved even though many of them are very devout, very religious: they were devout, but lost!
