Even If Pat Lynched A Black Man On Morning Joe, MSNBC Still Wouldn’t Fire Him

Shorter Pat Buchanan, WingNutDaily
The Racial Gap in Education

  • America will never be able to eliminate the educational disparity between whites and blacks because blacks are genetically stupid and lazy.

‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™

Second! Also, linky no worky.

 
 

Oh, HELL NO I am not getting out of this boat, even if it was on fire.

 
 

Pat covered smothered in mango chutney…

 
 

The gap between the test scores of East Asian and European nations and those of Latin America and African nations mirrors the gap between Asian and white students in the U.S. and black and Hispanic students in the U.S.

And the only possible answer Pat sees is that dark skin = stupid.

There’s more starvation in Africa than in Europe too. By Buchanan’s Jesuitical logic, that means black people don’t know how to eat.

 
 

Can’t ACORN just rig the SATs so that the darkies get higher scores, like they did to “elect” the lazy, shiftless welfare thug in the “White” House?

And if Pat was on fire on Morning Joe a black man wouldn’t pee on him. He’d have to rely on cream pies or whatever that is.

 
 

Roy for the win.

 
 

What do you have to do to be called a racist? Shoot Medgar Evers?

 
 

What do you have to do to spell your first name correctly?

Actually, the author he quotes does seem to advocate bringing African and Caribbean students in to bring up our collective scores…but these two assclowns do seem to advocate letting minority/poor/troubled/disadvantaged children fall through the cracks, which is plenty disturbing on its own.

 
 

Always. Trust. The. Shorter.™

Hey, um, Pat? There was a time, not long ago, when the Irish were shifty and lazy…and drunk hooligans hellbent on destroying American society.

Just a thought.

Pat Bukkake…I mean, Buchanan and sex go together like a sweater and a camel.

 
 

Steve Sailer of VDARE.com got the full list of 65 nations, broke down U.S. reading scores by race, then measured Americans with the countries and continents whence their families originated. What he found was surprising.

When you have an honest broker like Steve Sailer you know his conclusions are trustworthy.

 
 

We couldn’t make it to 25 without resorting to Bukkake.

Well, you asked for tha funnay.

 
 

African-American kids would have outscored the students of any sub-Saharan African country that took the test (none did)

But isn’t it ALSO true that the descendants of white kids who were enslaved and transported to Gliese 581 c would have outperformed the earthbound descendants of survivors of the Gliesian genocide, at least according to Gliesian standardized testing?

Hey, there are plenty of hypothetical facts where that came from!

 
 

a ski resort in Osaka….
is it on Hokkaido then?

From Snort’s link:

The conservative worldview managed to twist the Evangelical Christian notions of individual sin and salvation into the “wealth gospel” of, “if you aren’t rich, it’s your own damned fault.” That is insidious enough, but it gets really bizarre when it is applied to race issues.

For these people, racism is an individual sin that exists independently of history or cultural context. Since a racist is defined as evil, a good person cannot be racist. The idea that decent people could perpetuate structures of institutional racism makes as little sense to them as a virtuous non-Christian, or someone who is poor due to no fault of their own.

 
 

Above was me. I blame my genetic inferiority.

GOVERNMENTAL DEATH PANELS!!!!11!!!

Hm, well, gee, that’s what happens when public services are overstretched and underfunded.

BTW, Americans need to start learning that health care is A FUCKING FINITE RESOURCE. It’s either going to be managed responsibly with a concentration on the best outcomes for everyone, no matter their socioeconomic circumstances, or it’s going to be “managed” by a bizarre set of rules stitched together based on profit motive. People who can pay not only get more care than people who can’t, but that they also get unnecessary care.

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately? I don’t know), I was already aware of their existence.

I didn’t really finish my thought there, which was that, as a society, wouldn’t we want to focus on getting the best outcomes in the most efficient manner while spending the least amount of money possible? Or is spite more important than saving money in the long run?

 
 

The idea that decent people could perpetuate structures of institutional racism makes as little sense to them as a virtuous non-Christian, or someone who is poor due to no fault of their own.

See, that’s just it. In viewing the world as either/or, you set yourself up that you have to be perfect, or you are automatically “bad”.

Rather than just say, “You know, I know I’m not perfect, and sometimes I have bad thoughts. But I try to remain aware of them and if you point them out to me, I’ll correct my behavior in the future,” it’s all about “Who? Me? Racist? Never!”

I’m a liberal. I try not to have bigoted thoughts, but you know, sometimes I have to catch myself out and remind myself that I wouldn’t want someone saying that about me. Bigotry infests our personalities and none of us is ever truly free of them, even if publicly we can mask them better than most.

 
 

I’m pretty sure you guys are the real racists.

Exactly. And not only is it either/or thinking, it’s also self-centered and a complete product of privilege, because they are ultimately saying that There Is an Objective Truth About Racism and It Is Mine.

From an “On the Home Page” post at NRO:

Dennis Prager reveals what women want.

I haven’t clicked the link yet; anyone wanna bet the answer’s something other than “obnoxious fat guys who blow cigar smoke in their wives’ faces while watching The Expendables and talking about how his grandfather was just like the guys in Band of Brothers“?

 
 

or it’s going to be “managed” by a bizarre set of rules stitched together based on profit motive

This one.

 
 

Women are drawn to strong men. Though many men, when asked the secret to their long marriage, answer, “I learned to always say, ‘Yes, dear,’” the truth is that most women are not attracted to “Yes, dear” men. They are attracted to a man who exhibits strength in the outer world and at home as husband and father.

Shorter Prager: “I’ll give you something to cry about, bitch!”

 
 

Turns out his answer is pretty much “women want to be picked by the quarterback.”

 
 

Two off the boat!

What a woman most wants is to be loved by a man she admires.

Poor T&U, won’t have much to puke after today.

 
 

Hmmm. What about women who would also enjoy being admired? Guess we don’t exist.

That is why when married women get together, they don’t talk about their jobs nearly as much as men do.

Jane Austin famously said that she never wrote a dialogue between two men without a lady present because that was outside of her experience. Prager should probably do the same and not assume that real life fails the Bechdel test as hard as the movies do.

 
 

“Well, how would you know you were admired if Prager did not ogle your tits?”

Whenever Amory was submerged, his vanity was the last part to go below the surface, so he could still enjoy a comfortable glow when “Wookey-wookey,” the deaf old housekeeper, told him that he was the best-looking boy she had ever seen. It had pleased him to be the lightest and youngest man on the first football squad; it pleased him when Doctor Dougall told him at the end of a heated conference that he could, if he wished, get the best marks in school.

Good Luck With That
By Jonah Goldberg

“Christopher Beam has written a long essay on Libertarianism and its (alleged) problems.

I have a pretty strong suspicion he’s not having a great time opening his email today. I suspect he feels a bit like he went to Costco, bought one of those big industrial size jars of honey, open it, poured it over his head and then went to sit on a libertarian anthill.”

COMMENTS 2

Sott Wilson
“One thing I’ve noticed (and Balko touches on this in his piece) is the free rein “journalists” exercise when assailing libertarianism. In many ways, libertarians are ridiculed by the traditional press in the same demeaning way that Scientologists are ridiculed; They’re lampooned with an overt intellectual smugness. Perhaps it’s deserved (for both groups), perhaps not. But, there are other political groups and religious ideologies that heartily deserve derision – derision that is almost always absent from the traditional media essays on those subjects.
I have my own problems with libertarianism, but I wouldn’t mock them and their principles. Of course, I don’t write for the New Yorker. It’s amazing that sarcasm and flippancy passes so freely today as serious, scholarly exploration of political ideas. Mr. Beam (I understand) is a young man. Perhaps one day his writing will reflect a more mature patina.”

“of course, now you’ve done it to yourself . . .
I’m a conservative because I am not a libertarian, as i understand libertarianism. We are different ideologies for a reason, and it is not that libertarianism is just further along the spectrum than conservatives are willing to go on the way to Perfection. Conservative principles (as i understand them) are about as close to perfect as we can achieve. Libertarians are less wrong that liberals, but still wrong on many issues.”

Libertarians are less wrong that liberals, but still wrong on many issues.

It astounds me what passes for libertarian thought on the right wing.

A libertarian, like me, who is truly interested in the rights of the individual understands that it was individuals who created the representative form of democracy, acknowledging that government is not the problem so long as it remains accountable to the collection of individuals (who each hold an equal share in selecting that government).

It is those things that the individual does NOT hold in accountability that are the greatest threat to my freedom: corporations, other governments and nations, and nature. I, as an individual, cannot protect myself from those forces, so with my nation, I form a government sufficiently large that it might help protect me.

What part of this is too elegant for these cave dwellers to understand? One man pissing does not put out a fire!

I agree, but how does that distinguish you from a liberal Democrat? I would like to believe that “true libertarianism” is compatible with my beliefs and contrary to those of most self-identified libertarians, but I’m not sure how to make that claim without veering off into “no true Scotsman” territory. I dabbled in libertarianism for a few years, but it was ultimately a stop-off on my way to liberal. I believe my exact route was:

I’d settle for an ICBM silo, too, but I’ll admit the Channel coast is a (slightly) nicer location than the Great Plains.

I think the deepest fear most “libertarians” have is they realize that to achieve the kind of freedom they long for, they’re going to have to toss out a lot of their cherished beliefs.

Like liberals are for Big Government. We’re not. We’re for Big ENOUGH Government.

People have bought former ICBM silos to live in. One advantage of living in a hobbit warren over a stone tower on the Channel/Canadian coast is that it’s warm in the winter & cool in the summer. As an agoraphobic I probably shouldn’t be overly concerned w/ the world outside my bunker anyway.

Not very original column from Buchanan.

Back in his college days (circa 1970), my dad had to write a short paper with his opinion of… the latest birdbrain theory that was being popularized that explained black people were inherently less capable than white ones. Dad’s very basic point was that it was a self-fulfilling prophecy; people accept this as fact, therefore they don’t “waste” resources educating blacks that would be “better” spent educating whites, therefore black people never get the chance to shine, therefore… you get the picture.

The same argument’s been made and remade tirelessly since then, of course, but the fallacy refuses to die.

Course, Pat Buchanan wouldn’t give up even if it did… this guy still believes Britain and America should’ve let Hitler take on the Sovs and just, IDK, hoped they didn’t come for us next.

My dream house just came on the market. It is not fortified to withstand a Napoleonic invasion, but since he’s dead, there isn’t much of anything that will withstand a Nazombleonic invasion. It is (I hope) here, at the low low price of only $949,000. It is a beautiful Victorian. Pat Buchanan will not buy it for me, as it is in a neighborhood in which one can often hear people speaking Spanish, and now and then one can see people walking around who are definitely not white.

So one of y’all has to buy it for me. Come on, it’s real estate. What could go wrong?

Valerie Wigglesworth would like to share w/ you:

The Dallas pastor facing felony charges of burglarizing a church member’s home on Christmas Eve said Monday she had no criminal intent.

Pastor accused of burglary tells her side of the story
Pastor Sandy McGriff is accused of burglary and resisting arrest after she was discovered exiting the home of one of her parishioners on Christmas Eve.
Published: 12/27/2010 02:42 PM

Sandy McGriff, 52, said she was trying to protect valuables at the home of her longtime friend Serita Agnew and made a horrible mistake.

Police accuse McGriff of stealing more than $10,000 worth of fur coats, designer purses and electronics from a home in the 2200 block of Village Way near Kiest Boulevard and Lancaster Road. She was also charged with resisting arrest.

McGriff spent most of Christmas Day in jail and was released on $26,000 bail in time for Sunday morning services at The Church of the Living God. The sanctuary is in the back of her husband’s furniture store on Lancaster Road in east Oak Cliff.

Hold up. San Rafael? In Marin County? If Pat Buchanan isn’t happy with 80% white (and 0% black) in a major metropolitan area, he… well, what am I saying, he’s Pat Buchanan.

…Hold up. San Rafael? In Marin County?….

No, no, and no. There are many places in this locale, usually behind large secure gates, in which Pat Buchanan could exist in perfect whiteytude, but the Gerstle Park area near downtown San Rafael would not be a happy place for him. It is not bracingly multi-cultural in the way of some big cities, but it is by no means lily-white Anglo upper-income. Big expensive restored Victorians sit next door to tiny old bungalows, rental units of various sizes, not to mention schools and businesses. I could be happy there. Pat Buchanan would have a stroke and die. So please buy the house for Pat, and I will arrange for a tenants-in-common scam or something.

not so perfect. He is, after all, Irish. Also Catholic.

Both have been part of the Plot against America, in their times.

 
 

Off-topic, the fez or tarboosh is a type of hat, once ubiquitous on male heads in the Ottoman Empire. It is traditionally a red, truncated cone or cylinder with a decorative tassel depending from its apex. The fez is inedible and cannot be used as currency.

 
 

What were we talking about? Pat Buchanan covered in elephant cum? At least it’s white.

 
 

If being ensconced in a gated Dwelling of Whiteness would keep Pat happy, off the streets, and off the airwaves, now that would be perfect. Can we somehow convince him that the mere fact that he might be listened to by Undesirables taints him, so he should STFU?

 
 

All those Wright deals fall apart after a while.

Does this have something to do w/ DADT repeal?

“You’d be surprised, the soldiers that we get today,” says Frank Palkoska, who directs the Army’s fitness school. “They can’t do simple motor function movements, like a shoulder roll, the ability to skip — so we’ve got to lay a base of foundational fitness, without injuring them.”

‘Cause, you know, all the “Nancy-boys are skipping to the recruiting station,” per Bryan Fischer or someone.

 
 

Actor: Re: libertarianism

At one time, I was quasi-libertarian. I even voted Libertarian once–for crazy old Harold Browne, even though I though getting rid of Social Security and abolishing the Postal Service seemed sorta wacko. But as Harry was not in the Plague Party or the Leprosy Party, it seemed like the best ballot option I had. (I’ve since gone to casting write-in votes.)

I very much like about some of what might be called Movement Libertarianism:

(1) I want the widest possible personal liberty for people. I’m a big Bill- of-Rights guy; I’ve carried an ACLU card for decades. Libertarians are not squishy on personal liberty, and I’ve always admired that.

(2) I want to see the American Empire dismantled accompanied with radical cuts in the DOD budget. I want the US to abandon American ‘exceptionalism’ and engage the world as a responsible and humane international actor. All good things.

(3) But I part ways on the economic dimension of libertarianism, which is sort of Milton Friedman on steroids: Business and capital must be absolutely unfettered and unregulated; taxes are utter anathema.

(4) And I strongly disagree with the Movement Libertarian view of the proper role of government. I want a much better social safety net–especially for the poorest and most vulnerable people. I want the government to provide strong protection of the environment, air and water quality. (Hell, this paragraph could on a long time! And all of it would be incompatible with the libertarian view of the proper role of government.)

Full disclosure: I am way, way out on the far fringe of politics. I mean, I want to nationalize defense industries, oil-and-gas resources, and utterly eradicate the ‘Health Insurance’ industry. Also call a constitutional convention and shift to a parliamentary system. So I my politics are insane.

Sorry for the length.

Does this have something to do w/ DADT repeal?

Yeah, the military has a big recruiting problem, and the recruits they get are marshmallows, to point that it’s a crisis. They kinda hadta repeal any policy that reduced the recruiting pool.

I very much like about some of what might be called Movement Libertarianism:

Most Libertarians (so called- Glibertarian is a more apropos term) are authoritarians at heart. Does anyone with two brain cells to rub together really think that Ron and Rand Paul are really concerned with personal liberty?

Martello Towers — ICBM bunkers — Fortifications turned into residences:

I’ve always wanted to live in such a place, repurposes and modified on the interior to my own idiosyncratic whims. Subterreanean is great: I don’t need or like windows. (I keep all my window blinds down all the time, every window.) I like the sense of ‘enclosure within a secure place’. I even call my current residence ‘the Festung Thurstonhaus’.

Artillery embrasures in the Martello tower? Hell, I would prefer arrow slits! I’m a castle junkie….

((Odd aside. I once built an elaborate and intricate Lego castle that covered 33 square feet and used 39,600+ pieces. (The highest pennant was 83 bricks above the baseplate.) Batterstone Castle took 11 months to design and build. All four Ballmer TV stations brought crews to the house; Batterstone appeared as a front-page story in the WaPo’s ‘Metro’ section.))

A little late to the party, but I will add that one of the most disturbing things about Pat B is that every time he opens his mouth about the war in Iraq, these incredibly smart, cogent arguments come out.

If he’s on the TV talking about foreign policy, I have to turn it off. There’s too great a chance I’ll find myself nodding in agreement with Pat Fucking Buchanan.

One of the problems is that Daddy P., at least, is a “True Believer” in that Jeeziz gobbitch.

 
 

So this guy just admits that he makes shit up?

All that he’d established was that white people are doing comparatively well in America. If he didn’t go on to add that the inferior position of Black Americans is their own damned fault and they’re just lucky we didn’t leave them in Africa – well, it wouldn’t be much of a racist diatribe, would it?

If he’s on the TV talking about foreign policy, I have to turn it off. There’s too great a chance I’ll find myself nodding in agreement with Pat Fucking Buchanan.

Stopped clock, and all that… I imagine, though, that Buchanan arrives at a similar conclusion through a radically different thought process.

 
 

Bx4: he seems to vote that way

Mainly I was thinking about his opposition to the Patriot Act, the so-called FISA ‘compromise’, and the AUMF. He bucked against his own Plague Party and didn’t roll over in the war-hysteria. I give him props for that. I would never vote for Ron Paul. I think he’s delusional, but he seems sincerely delusional. Sometime I might tell the story of my brief on-line brouhaha with the elder Mr. Paul.

Right now, however, I’m going to bail for Season Four of The Wire. I meant to do so well over an hour ago, but the thread was too interesting to break from. Back in a few hours. Have fun!

What’s always struck me as crazy about Buchanan, is I think is probably one of the smartest (IQ-wise) talking heads out there. I mean, he’s plenty xenophobic and a bit bat-shit crazy about the Jews, but, you know, he has arguments and stuff.

His premises may be false, but he actually has fucking premises. And furthermore, his conclusions often follow from his premises. Goddamn that’s lightyears ahead of Sarah Palin.

Yes, you’re right. Pat B, evil, but not stupid.

relatively.

 
 

remember he is being stacked up against Bill Kristol and Jonah. THOSE are the ones being presented as Right Intellectualamists.

 
 

Maddow likes Unka Pat, because he is just stupid enough to think he can’t lose against her because she is a woman.

 
 

Buchanan: evil, not as stupid as others, and ALREADY DAMNED TO A HELL I DO NOT BELIEVE IN BUT HE DOES for his crimes serving that Toad Nixon.

 
 

I hope he dies in a horrible Chris Matthews spittle accident.

 
 

comments, mostly zombie.

heh. you’ve seen this movie.

 
 

Heh. I’m still here.

 
 

At least Buchanan gets only minor chickenhawk points. He had a bad knee, that’s why (sniff) he just couldn’t serve in uniform during Vietnam. He was an avid jogger later in life. I’m sure he was an avid proponent of some war or another, probably pre-9/11.

9/11 changed everything. It made a lot of people flip the fuck out. Just wait until the next such incident. We’re going to have serious problems not going full retard. In a fascist kinda way.

Jonah?

 
 

I’m sure he was an avid proponent of some war or another, probably pre-9/11.

I’m not at all sure that’s true. Pat Buchanan is about the only well-known Republican isolationist left in the world. He regrets American involvement in WWII, for Christ’s sake. He may be a chicken, but it isn’t fair to call him a hawk.

 
 

At least Buchanan gets only minor chickenhawk points. He had a bad knee,

good to know. So when I see this fascist bastard on the street, my first strike is to the knee to drop him to the ground.

then, it’s the axe kick to the rib cage, to impact the lungs.

Normally, at that point I would just let the cops take over, and since Pat’s lungs don’t seem to be up to it, I would, regrettably, leave him to find his imaginary Big Sky Daddy was illusory. Of course, I will video that moment.

Well, I saw that Ronald Reagan had a significant budget for transvestite pigs.

 
 

let me see what I’m doing…

And just what are you doing that needs light? You can’t relax in the tub w/o seeing what you’re doing?

 
The Tragically Flip
 

The one thing I will say for Buchanan is that he is the rarest species of right winger on TV: the mostly honest type, who actually doesn’t reflexively spin everything and take all talking points from the same source the rest of them do. I feel icky even praising him this faintly for his many other vile qualities, but I can’t deny the man has some intellectual coherence and willingness to call things as he actually sees them.

No this shouldn’t be enough to justify keeping him on TV.

 
 

e may be a chicken, but it isn’t fair to call him a hawk.

Can we call him a sallow reprehensible aged chicken-fucking pustule on history’s ear canal? Is that fair?

Because fuck it if that’s not fair. I can come up with worse.

Sometime I might tell the story of my brief on-line brouhaha with the elder Mr. Paul.

Putting on kettle… do tell!

Okay, here goes: During 2008, I used to visit McClatchy’s ‘Inside Iraq’ blog fairly regularly–at least weekly. I was in Standard Lurker Mode most of the time: rarely posted a comment, but read them all. I noticed that Ron Paul His Own Self visited and commented from time to time.

I wondered for a month or three, if his posts were real. It was the election season; Ron is running in primaries, doing his Moneybomb thang. The really convincing moment came in a thread where he was Explaining The World to another commenter who has tossed out some open-ended question to the thread. (I forget what subject.)

The Elder Mr. Paul weighed in with about three good-sized paragraphs. In the last one, he brought it around to Ayn Rand and praised Atlas Shrugged as magnificent novel and highly recommended it.

I stepped out of the Lurker shadow and posted a polite–but truly drythree paragraphs in response, aimed specifically at the novel. The gist of my reply was the Atlas Shrugged was a political manifesto masquerading as fiction. I said I didn’t propose to critique Rand’s philosophy, though I disagreed strongly with it.

Instead, I excoriated Atlas Shrugged as weak fiction with cardboard characters, hackneyed dialogue, wooden style, and overwrought writing. My closer was something on the order of…”However one evaluates the Rand’s philosophy, it’s an inferior work of fiction.”

I kept going back to the McClatchy blog regularly for several months. I never saw another post from the Elder Mr. Paul, nor did he respond to my comment. My brush with greatness.

My other brush with (true) greatness was when Roy Orbison bummed a cigarette from me in Independence, Kansas. We lit up and chatted until we finished our smokes.

I swear that everything I’ve written above is honest-to-God true.

What I meant was that if you like a FLW, it’s pretty much a given that you’re overlooking structural and waterproofing issues. I stayed in the Price Tower last winter, which was nice, but also cold. And leaky. Heated bathroom floor, though!

I fucking missed the zombie-proofing part of the thread. Dammit. I design theme parks, urban centers, planned communities, and all that crap — and nevar, evar mention zombie-resistant space is part of my thinking. But it is. I found “Zombieland” hard to watch for this reason. 1. improbable park layout; 2. theme parks inherently totes zombie-proof because also totes stupid-proof.

Favorite movie about architecture, at this moment: Japanese version of “Pulse,” ostensibly about ghosts draining the living from the world through digital portals, but really about the way in which built space ceases to be shelter and instead becomes isolated wells of decay and loneliness in a geometric matrix of empty transitional passages. Or at least that’s what Grandma always told me.

I’m just curious what Mali: Land of Gold and Glory is like, considering that it is by the same author and publisher who claim that thousands of black soldiers fought for the South.

Bart: Stampeding cattle.
Hedley Lamarr: That’s not much of a crime.
Bart: Through the Vatican?
Hedley Lamarr: [smiling] Kinky. Sign here.

 
 

I can’t be arsed to look it up, but I’m guessing there were occasions when slaves were used to build defenses and do other manual labor in connection to the war effort for the Confederates. In the wingnut world view this equates to signing up in droves and volounteering to fight the Yankee devils because they loved the South so much.

 
 

Thread Bear, you are right and in fact the first slaves freed by the Union were not actually freed, but held as “contraband of war” so that they could not be used to dig ditches and build defenses for the Confederacy.

What this textbook claims is that thousands of slaves fought as soldiers, an interpretation that no reputable historian backs, but a favorite of Neo-Confederate groups. It turns out that the author, who is not a historian, did most of her research on the internet.

It’s exciting to various left-wing web sites, apparently, but the “correlation” identified by these scientists is absurd on its face.

In all likelihood, nothing.

I notice Assrocket didn’t dwell to much on this.

The results, which will be published next year, back up a study that showed that some people were born with a “Liberal Gene” that makes people more likely to seek out less conventional political views.

 
 

Yes, well, Hinderaker is the same guy who thinks Paul Krugman is a “former” “bad”* economist because Krugman now advocates political positions that do not match Hinderaker’s.

By that logic, because Hinderaker blogs he is a former bad lawyer, whatever professional recognition and compensation he may have previously received and still get.

*Not scare quotes; actual words Hinderaker has used to describe Krugman.

PUBLIC HEALTH PRIZE: Manuel Barbeito, Charles Mathews, and Larry Taylor of the Industrial Health and Safety Office, Fort Detrick, Maryland, USA, for determining by experiment that microbes cling to bearded scientists.
WHO ATTENDED THE CEREMONY: Manuel S. Barbeito was unable to travel, due to health reasons. A representative read his acceptance speech for him.

Ha fucking ha. In about 1968 a teacher (bearded) told a class I was in about an Army study that claimed beards were dirty, & used it as an example of how you had to consider the source of studies & so on, as obviously the military would be against beards. Looks as if the military-industrial complex decided they should repeat the study.

WASTE, FRAUD & ABUSE!!!

The gap between the test scores of East Asian and European nations and those of Latin America and African nations mirrors the gap between Asian and white students in the U.S. and black and Hispanic students in the U.S.

“See? They really ARE inferior! Geniuses are white born, not colored made! Pay no attention to the decades of Western support for fascist kleptocrats creating a pandemic of childhood malnutrition behind the curtain!”

Nifty little circular argument when you think about it: all you have to do is systematically starve non-whites in the Third World for the first three years of their lives, so when they can’t measure up in later years you “prove” your point about how lame they are at the whole thinking thing. QED, libtards! Also helps to “prove” your case if you let them keep buying leaded gas & lead-based paint long after you’ve banned them – mmm, delicious lead.

The mountain of contrary evidence – that Arabs & Aztecs were living in clean well-regulated metropoles while honkies were living in mud huts, dying from famine while trying to invent written language, or that the original birthplace of caucasians is now a war-torn basket-case surrounded by more prosperous Asian countries – is merely an externality & thus belongs down the Memory Hole.

The gap between the test scores of …

This all seems to be a kerfluffle smoke screen to find a scapegoat to the fact that the US as a whole is losing ground to Asia and Europe. Years and years of cutting services to feed children, cuts to middle schools, constant tuition increases due to funding cuts, all to the tune of the right wing screeching of cutting taxes apparently has nothing to do with it. Must be skin color, can’t be anything else.

What’s even more maddening to them is that Asia and Europe don’t seem to care that we’re pulling up the rear.

 
 

My other brush with (true) greatness was when Roy Orbison bummed a cigarette from me in Independence, Kansas. We lit up and chatted until we finished our smokes.

Yeah, but did you go see the Little House on the Prairie?

Nope, not my style. I did, however, see the Dalton Gang museum in Coffeyville. The tried to simultaneously hit two banks and got massacred. That’s more my style…including getting massacred.

I was a disc jockey in Independence before and after I was in the Army; DJ’d in Coffeyville before grad school. My encounter with Orbison, however, had nothing to do with the jock jobs.

If we started outsourcing blog commentary to India maybe the USA could get more productive shit done. That’s certainly the case in my personal economic microcosm, at least.

On second thought, China might be a better outsourcing option due to its relative lack of fluent English speakers. If all blog comments read like a spectacularly English-mangled Chinese menu we’d have infinite entertainment value.

“Not sure I agree that celibacy is impossible (some of us manage it at times, whether we want to or not). But even conceding that point, so what? You don’t have a normal mating instinct? Tough. You’re SOL. Just like the woman who wants to be in a marine infantry unit, or the man who wants to work at Hooters. To ask that society re-define itself to accommodate your condition, consequences to society be damned, is outrageously self-centered. And to claim it as a matter of right is beyond the pale.”

Oh my. You hear that gays? Because you mate queerly, you have no right to any sort of romantic or erotic life.

 
 

” Because you mate queerly”

Heh heh heh. You have no idea….

Oh, yes: our most deeply ingrained, hardwired psycho-sexual traits are exactly equivalent to quirky notions like a dude’s aspiring to sling chicken wings at Hooter’s.

 
 

I can’t believe you don’t find his logic sound. I think he makes an airtight case for denying gays an essential part of the human existence.

 
 

Bull: SNAP!

Damn, can’t believe I stuck that apostrophe into Hooters up there. Generally take pride in not abusing them, but that was an unforgivable lapse. And I’ve only had a coupla beers so far!

That’s a cue to slink off, shamefully traumatized, and not show up here again for a couple of weeks or so. Productive shit, here I come!

Oh, fuck me. I’m forever hearing my lefty straight and radical queer friends bitch on this topic, and now Jonah has stumbled into the same shit pie and thinks he invented chocolate cake.

Plenty of militant left-wing queers are still for overthrowing capitalism and abolishing marriage. Just because bougie straight people associate gayness with the cultural fringe, that doesn’t mean that all gay people choose that role for themselves. The gay folk who want to get married at the Episcopal church and enroll their kids in prep schools, or enlist in the military and go to fight in Afghanistan are typically not repentant revolutionaries. They are the people who until quite recently were forced deep, deep into the closet because there was no way to be openly gay and participate in much of American life. As wild and kinky as gay sex may sound, there are lots of bland, ordinary people out there doing it, and always have been. All that has changed is their visibility and freedom of movement.

Gay people didn’t become bourgeois, the bourgeoisie have learned to be mildly tolerant of gays ( in their own social class). And by the way, WHAT do rich kids have to do with the military? How is that a bourgeois institution?

There are more Chinese learning to speak English in China right now than there are UK residents.
