Shorter Mark W. Hendrickson, Clown Hall:
A Tale of Two Union Disputes: NFL vs. Wisconsin Teachers

  • I am less troubled by the NFL players’ union demand for even higher salaries than I am by the Wisconsin school teachers demand to keep collective bargaining rights, because NFL football players are highly skilled at what they do and teachers are not.

The NFL is highly competitive. Those who don’t perform at a very high level are quickly replaced. Superior performance is rewarded and underachievers are pink-slipped. The NFL is a meritocracy, and that commands respect.

There are no crap players with overgenerous multi-year contracts, ask any fan!

The teachers union, by contrast, is anticompetitive. The NEA and its affiliates have squandered much public goodwill by routinely protecting inferior teachers and resisting all efforts to reward exceptional performance.

They always assert this, yet the rare occasions anyone has supplied “evidence” it’s always turned out to be more full of poop than Rand Paul’s newfangled terlet. Somebody linked a rebuttal of this a couple days ago, anyone still have it?

 
 

Might want to add to the shorter for extra stupidlicious.

Today, the relative scarcity of men able to compete at the NFL level is why they get paid so much more than teachers, the latter of whom are far more abundant.

Does this jackass realize some of the Packer players have sided with the public employees? If it would have been Aaron Rogers half the state of Wisconsin would have marched on Madison to tar-and-feather Walker.

The NFL is the most socialist organization in the country. Collective braining, splitting revenues between the owners and the players, the lowest ranked team gets first draft pick (to make things more fair!). And Jeebus, what about the Packers?!?,? Why does Mark “Yellowteeth” Hendrickson hate America?

Fuck you autocorrect. Though “collective braining” does seem to have possibilities.

I should add, for those not familiar with the NFL and shit, _all_ the teams share _equally_ in the TV revenues. It should be renamed the National Football Collective.

Of course this assumes that we can actually have a fair method for evaluating teacher performance.

I am actually the assessment chair for my department (at a college level, so YMMV as to how this applies at the secondary or primary school level) and we assess performance all the time. But the fact is that, other than teacher enthusiasm about the subject and basic competence at teaching/knowing the subject (we’ve had a few adjuncts who’ve turned out to be, shall we say, interesting in terms of their abilities), there seems to be little difference in student outcomes from one teacher to another. Essentially any teacher who knows the subject, knows some pedagogy and is enthusiastic about the material and about teaching will do as well as any other teacher.

This is not to say any of us do well at all. Our students, thanks to broken curriculum standards that force teachers to teach to tests that really have no bearing on actual attainment of long-term learning outcomes and that ignore any connections between subjects (for example, students do math in math courses and science in science courses but are not taught, e.g. via word problems, how to apply math anywhere, even in the context of a scientific calculation — because it’s not in the curriculum standards and teachers only have time to teach what is in the curriculum due to time wasted on high stakes testing), by and large cannot learn.

But what we teachers do in class (e.g. whether we take a “problem solving approach” or a “traditional lecture approach” or what have you) seems to make little difference in student outcomes.

So if teachers are forced by curriculum standards (many of which are associated with testing fads pushed strongly by the kinds of people who spend all their time hating on teachers’ unions and don’t even notice that teachers’ unions are pushing a uniform curriculum that will actually allow for meaningful evaluation of teacher performance!) to teach material in such a way that students cannot actually learn no matter how exceptional the teacher is, what does it even mean to reward exceptional teachers?

You notice at the college level where faculty are rewarded for exceptional performance, the evaluation of said performance is based primarily on research/scholarship (even at a “teaching oriented” school like mine) in large part because that is what can be evaluated in a reasonably fair manner. It doesn’t make a lick of sense to really even try to incorporate teaching performance into evaluations for promotion when anyone who knows the material and is a good enough communicator that they don’t suck at teaching (which is anyone who would actually be hired as a full time faculty member at an institution such as the one where I work) does as well as any other generally qualified person. You can reward people for exceptional performance but it’s not generally fair to say “unless you can work a miracle, you are not considered exceptional enough to get a promotion or even tenure”.

 
 

Well, PM, this is just Phase One…ultimately Yellowteeth wants those nis to make minimum wage (until Phase Three eliminates the Minimum Wage, anyway) to shorten their lives by a decade for his viewing pleasure (if you know what I mean, and I think that you do), with the Owners keeping ALL the money, just as Gawd intended.

Management holding all the cards = Paradise

p.s. not only do the lower teams get the first draft picks, the crappier teams in a given year get easier schedules (e.g. if you’re 3-13, the next season you play many more non-conference under-.500 teams than the Super Bowl Champ). How un-Wingnut is *that*? Gawd! It’s like those “everyone gets a trophy for showing up” things they hate so much.

Appropo of nothing; When the Packers won the Super Bowl in 99, one of their stars, Mark Chmura, pillar of the yada yada, Athletes for Jeebus, etc, refused to meet Pres. Bill, making a whole dog-and-pony show about how moral he (Marky-Mark) was.

2 years later, he got caught playing hide-the-smokie-link in a hot tub with some of his daughters friends.

I love my team, but I do wish Aaron would come out vocally*, though, those players talking about it now are, while of course worshipped in Cheddarland (aaaigh, I miss it!), are not the big names.

*Pick yer veiled reference – he won the Super Bowl, and if I have to I will have his man babies.

In fairness, it appear that in his case, the teachers were not sufficiently skilled. Of course, I think they would have to have Einstein/Da Vinci level skills to make an impression on that putrid lump of shit.

 
 

I’m amazed to hear so many co-workers spouting “We don’t even get those kinds of benefits, etc!!!, why should the teachers?”

Yeah, that too!

 
 

The very idea of people making such high salaries possibly striking for more irked her.

As well it should. Except that NFL players aren’t striking. They are fine with their current situation. The Plutocrat owners are demanding MORE work for LESS pay.

I thought maybe you did something with his hair. But no.

 
 

I’m tired of getting taxed to pay for two wars for plutocrats.

The NFL is totally free market. Its just a coincidence that their revenues depend on anti-trust exemptions, use of the public airwaves, and billions in public funds for stadium construction.

Totally free market.

 
 

Hey, here’s another idea that is probably considered too radical these days: Let the teachers choose their students! It’ll be just like the NFL Draft! Those that don’t get chosen will have to be home-schooled by Hendrickson and his wives*.

*Big Love reference

Yo, Hendrickson! Stop trying to blame the teachers. Your st00pidness is why you didn’t learn anything in school.

 
 

Stop enlarging Hendricksons pupils! Those poor kids did nothing to you!

To finance the Cowboys stadium in Arlington, “City sales tax increased by one-half of a percent, the hotel occupancy tax by 2 percent, and car rental tax by 5 percent. The City of Arlington provided $325 million in funding.”

From the Cowboys Stadium website, minimal Google skills were required.

 
 

But what about High School football coaches?

Yeah; that just happened.

 
Spanky the invisible SUPER MONKEY
 

…minimal Google skills were required.

Ain’t it great?

 
 

Ha! I’ll see your Cowboys and raise you the NHL Coyotes stadium over in Glenhole. Dumbasses raised millions in taxes to build a rink for a shitty team that went bankrupt and now is on the verge of going back to Canadah. Of course there are multiple lawsuits funded by taxpayers.

Free market!

 
 

Every one of the fans in that stadium makes more than the players.

Yeah, the “owners make more than players but some parents make less than teachers” thing seemed some pretty damn sloppy thinking on his part. That’s probably true at the sad city college on whose president he has some dirt, too, what does it matter? Lots of people make less than lots of other people who work for the government, so what?

 
 

“…minimal Google skills were required.

Ain’t it great?”

Yes, but unfortunately for some, tools must be utilized before their worth can be appreciated.

To be fair, governments are always willing to go to these kind of lengths for any big corporation. It just gets more notice when they do it for sports teams.

The real issue of course is that the NFL players union helps the rich get richer, while the NEA and AFT just keep the middle class from faller further. I mean priorities people. That income equality ain’t gonna keep itself going.

Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson is a faculty member, economist, and contributing scholar with the Center for Vision and Values at Grove City College.
I’ve never heard of Grove City college, but I did some research on Wikipedia and looky here:

Since 1963, the American Association of University Professors has placed Grove City under censure for violations of tenure and academic freedom. In fact, Grove City has the distinction of having been on the AAUP’s list of censured administrations longer than any other college that is currently censured. In its report, the AAUP Investigative Committee at Grove City concluded that “the absence of due process [in the dismissal of professors at Grove City] raises…doubts regarding the academic security of any persons who may hold appointment at Grove City College under existing administrative practice. These doubts are of an order of magnitude which obliges us to report them to the academic profession at large.”[10][11]

Grove City was ranked as the nation’s second most politically conservative college by US News and World Report
It is considered one of the most home school friendly colleges in the Northeast.

and some people on Faculty:

Guillermo Gonzalez – astrophysicist and notable proponent of Intelligent Design
# Warren Throckmorton – professor of psychology often cited by advocates of conversion therapy


to be fair, it is alleged to be one of the best christian universities in the country.
It also doesn’t allow students to take federal student aid as that would expose the university to title IX federal regulations.

 
 

rather longish, but it really sums up our politics and underscores what a douchehole hendrickson is…from teh wiki:

A state law passed in 1997 requires that anytime a county seeks to raise its sales tax, the question needs to be put before the voters. The law also allows a county to seek permission from the state to enact the tax without a voters’ referendum. The Minnesota Legislature did not act on the bill during the 2005 session.

On April 26, 2005, the Twins and Hennepin County announced that a deal had been reached, in which the Twins would pay roughly 1/3 of the stadium’s cost ($125 million), with the rest being paid for by a 0.15% Hennepin County sales tax. The deal would need to be approved by the Hennepin County Board. After delaying the vote one week, on May 3 the Board voted 4–3 in favor of the stadium deal. Minneapolis mayor R. T. Rybak (DFL) had already weighed in favor of the stadium. The plan passed its second hurdle on May 9, 2005, when a House committee of the Minnesota Legislature approved a bill to get around the referendum to be sent to the floor on a 17–5 vote. This legislation languished before the full legislature, during a particularly gridlocked session, and was placed on the back burner, pending resolution of “more pressing” legislation. Naming rights belong to the Minnesota Twins.

In the 2006 session, the Minnesota House of Representatives passed the bill that would allow the team and county to go around the referendum. The Minnesota Senate also passed a version of the bill, but their version would also build a stadium for the Minnesota Vikings and fund transit projects. The two bills spent most of the legislative session in conference committee. The bill was passed by a 71–61 vote in the House[23] and a 34–32 vote in the Senate.[24] A ballot referendum, called for by many Hennepin County residents, was deemed infeasible due to the time-critical nature of the bill (a referendum would have to wait until the November general election, while dates for the Twins to play in the Metrodome in 2007 needed to be applied for by July 1). Under the legislation, $392 million in public subsidy is provided through the Hennepin County sales tax increase for the $522 million project. The ballpark opened for the 2010 baseball season, the Twins’ 50th season in Minnesota. The final bill was approved on May 21, and was signed into law by Governor Tim Pawlenty, as part of a pre-game ceremony before the Twins’ May 26 home game against the Seattle Mariners.

And the world screams “Kiss Me, Son of God.”

I’ve destroyed the bonds of freindship
and respect between the only people left
Who’d even look me in the eye.
Now I laugh and nake a fortune
Off the same ones that I torture
And the world screams “Kiss Me, Son of God.”

What is always amazing is that these windbags always seem to see the unions as the villian, being uncivil. What they conveniently care to ignore is that in this instance the union gave Walker everything he asked for except the bargaining. Who behaved badly? Why of course the unions did! No mention is made of Walkers refusal to deal or bargain, plus the unethical if unlawful passing of this “law” with his Republican cronies skulking around in the middle of the night and breaking their own word. This Republican version of democracy is not critiqued, but fellow Americans fighting for their rights is bullying.

 
 

I think this privatization stuff is great. I can’t wait for the day when the little transponder in my car beeps every couple of miles to let me know that my account is being sucked dry by the corporation that bought all the taxpayer built roads that my government sold off when they disbanded the DOT. I can laugh all the way to the bank over all the tax money that will save me and cry all the way to poorhouse when the bill from the private toll booths comes in. Fortunately the new owners of the roads had to agree to meet minimum safety and upkeep requirements before the purchase. However, since we will not waste taxpayer funds enforcing these silly ideas everybody’s auto and health insurance will now have to go up dramitically to cover the severe increase in traffic accidents and fatalities. Oh, and if you think the DMV is crazy now, just wait till Bechtel is in charge of it.

Not. Worth. It.

The NFL is highly competitive. Those who don’t perform at a very high level are quickly replaced. Superior performance is rewarded and underachievers are pink-slipped. The NFL is a meritocracy, and that commands respect.

Yes, because no player has ever been given millions, despite the fact he sucks. Nope, never ever happened in the NFL.

The teachers union, by contrast, is anticompetitive. The NEA and its affiliates have squandered much public goodwill by routinely protecting inferior teachers and resisting all efforts to reward exceptional performance.

So if we strip away their collective bargaining rights, lower their pay, and remove their benefits, that will … magically create a meritocracy?

I haz a confoosed.

The NFLPA is negotiating directly with those who pay their salaries—the team owners. The WEAC, by contrast, uses every political tactic it can think of to induce the Wisconsin governor and legislature to transfer money that isn’t even their own (it’s citizens’ money) into their bank accounts.

Because legislators don’t pay taxes, and no one the teachers have talked to do, either, and agreeing to a pay cut = inducing people to give you money that’s not your own.

Um … wait. What?

Finally, the NFL negotiations have not become a divisive partisan phenomenon in an age when too many issues have […] Indeed, don’t expect to see any of your favorite pro-football players carrying posters of Hitler or trying to shut down lawful government.

Unless those players are members of the Tea Party. Then it’s apparently a requirement.

He does, however, have a point in that some teachers really do suck.

Just look at whichever ones he had in school.

Sometimes it’s the teachers’ fault, but plenty of other influences exist too. If the student’s addlebrained enough, there ain’t much the teacher can do.

 
 

I posted this over there, but doubt it’ll make it on/last the next 20 seconds:

Someone please explain this to me

Some teachers suck and, due to the union, can’t be fired.

Okay, fine. Say that’s the case.

So we change that part of the agreement in every teacher’s union across the nation, followed by mass firings of bad teachers. Great. Terrific. Wonderful. The right gets its prize and is all happy.

Then what?

Seriously. We’d need to replace that teacher, wouldn’t we? So we’d still be paying a salary, correct? How does that save money?

In fact, under a true meritocracy, wouldn’t the better teacher be paid MORE than the one just fired? Wouldn’t that INCREASE the costs to taxpayers?

You know, it’s almost as if you didn’t think things all the way through … again.

Maybe y’all should have listened to your teachers more …

I always like the argument of “teachers’ unions only bargain for higher wages … if they really care about students as much as they claim to, how come they don’t bargain for things that would directly help students” when in many cases, when teachers’ union locals have tried to bargain for such things they have found that they are rebuffed (and in some cases prohibited by law) for bargaining about anything other than teacher compensation!

We rarely scrub stuff, and at the very least, when a comment is moderated or corrected or in any other way stepped on, we leave notes or markers to that effect. Why do they hate the First Amendment or whatever, especially since Sarah Palin herself is such a champion of it, as it relates to herself, even when it doesn’t actually apply, shut up, freedom of speech freedom of fucking speech la la la shut up.

Furthermore, my teeth, though healthy, are not dazzling, and whitestrips will not work because some are crowns, and others need all the enamel they can keep, so I am not looksist. But I have often wondered why, for example, GWB’s teeth look so funky when he has tons of money and it would not be hard for him to spruce up a little. And this Mark “Big Love” Hendrickson – can he not open a can of wingnut welfare and pay for a little dental upgrade, and if he can, but won’t, could he please send the money to me so I can? Putz.

You know, I heard that Elena Kagan…”plays softball.”

And Chris Matthews… “plays hardball.”

 
 

From Wiki-

One meaning of the word lesbian derives from the poems of Sappho, who was born in Lesbos and who wrote with powerful emotional content directed toward other women. It is due to this association that Lesbos and especially the town of Eresos, her birthplace, are visited frequently by lesbian tourists,[4] much to the chagrin of the deeply conservative and traditionalist Greek Orthodox population of the island.[5] In 2008, the Lesbian islanders lost a court case against the Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece. The Lesbian islanders had requested a legal injunction to bar homosexual groups from using the word “lesbian” in their names, which the Lesbian islander petitioners claim violates their human rights as it is “insulting” and disgraces them around the world

I’m soooooooo confused.

Yup. I shower at night and let my hair air dry for a while and then flat iron it the rest of the way. That way I only have to touch it up in the morning because I am lazy as hell and don’t get out of bed until the last minute.

I get a hair cut about once a year wether I need it or not. I keep it fairly long and unless it’s bitterly cold or sweltering hot I drive around with the windows and sunroof open. So I am generally an unruly mess. I’m not a confirmed bachelor, but I’ve been baptised.

Barrington Republican Martin Harty told Sharon Omand, a Strafford resident who manages a community mental health program, that “the world is too populated” and there are “too many defective people,” according to an e-mail account of the conversation by Omand. […]

Harty confirmed to the Monitor that he made the comments to Omand. […]

Omand says Harty then stated, “I wish we had a Siberia so we could ship them all off to freeze to death and die and clean up the population.” Omand said Harty appeared to be serious. After Omand responded that his idea sounded like what Adolf Hitler did in World War II, Omand said Harty responded, “Hitler did something right, and I agree with (it).”

MARKEY TAKES A STAND FOR SCIENCE (AND SARCASM)…. A House Energy and Commerce Committee panel met yesterday to approve a ridiculous measure: members were asked, as Brad Johnson explained, to “overturn the scientific finding that fossil fuel pollution is causing dangerous climate change.”

But before the vote was held, Rep. Ed Markey (D) of Massachusetts explained why his colleagues were making a mistake.

“I rise in opposition to a bill that overturns the scientific finding that pollution is harming our people and our planet,” the Democrat said. “However, I won’t rise physically, because I’m worried that Republicans will overturn the law of gravity, sending us floating about the room.

“I won’t call for the sunlight of additional hearings, for fear that Republicans might excommunicate the finding that the Earth revolves around the sun. Instead, we will embody Newton’s third law of motion and be an equal and opposing force against this attack on science and on laws that will reduce America’s importation of foreign oil.

“This bill will live in the House while simultaneously being dead in the Senate. It will be a legislative Schrodinger’s cat killed by the quantum mechanics of the legislative process. Arbitrary rejection of scientific fact will not cause us to rise from our seats today. But with this bill, pollution levels will rise. Oil imports will rise. Temperatures will rise.

“And with that, I yield back the balance of my time. That is, unless a rejection of Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity is somewhere in the chair’s amendment pile.”

Soon after, the subcommittee’s Republicans approved the measure. Markey probably talked over their heads.

 
 

That Markey’s a dern snooty elitist, but Gawd will burn him in science hell w/ the other pointy-heads.

Um, unless he somehow manages to connect those two thoughts, like saying there are no tops and no bottoms in Smurfland, I can’t imagine how this makes any sense.

I’ve actually seen an interesting bit of theory on how same sex relationships reflect the social order in their various cultures. In hierarchical societies, pederasty is common. More recently, romantic love was the basis of gay relationships but the rigid gender roles of society were carefully maintained with strict tops and bottoms, femmes and “stone cold butches”. Now versatility is becoming much more typical.

I’m sure that is an oversimplification, but I think it’s interesting. Probably not where the writer was going with that.

All: Good morning. It’s been an interesting thread so far. I liked the wimmin’s hair care and style discussion. (Does that make me gay?)

If I ever get the Duchy of Grand Fenwick running–and I shall–there will probably be a post sometime about caring for a really, really l-o-n-g beard. (A recent pluck measured 16 inches.)

Vaguely related to the blog…

I am working on a longish comment for S,N about Libya. It will be clearly labelled so that non-interested folks can simply scroll past it. Mostly it will be hard data, and I’ll include a link to Google Earth. And I promise there won’t be a single mention of the No-Fly Zone! (The perspective is ground operations, which I have more background in than naval and/or air.)

Who might be interested? Well, anyone familiar with the North African theater in WWII … or with curiosity about military analysis…or with having a short sketch of strategic changes since the start of the Libyan rebellion (and the current situation.)

I’m writing it mostly as an ‘educational’ piece, sort of like N_B explaining earthquakes and seismic-resistant construction. This is the sort of piece I would publish in the Duchy, rather than an S,N thread. I appreciate your indulgence….and hope you find it interesting.

BREAKING:

Arab League unanimously requests UN to authorize NFZ.

 
 

Will China or Russia block it?

 
 

vs — Very nice lookin’ web site thingy!
.

 
 

I can’t help but be cynical. The Arab League, many members of which are dealing with their domestic unrest, may expect the measure to fail in the security council.

 
 

More Texture:

Arab League hedges;
(1) NFZ must cease when current crisis is over.
(2) Opposes any foreign intervention; ‘The Libyan people must resolve this.’

[Is that only boots-on-the-ground? Excludes air support? Does it leave a gray area for weapons-supply and logistics-only support for rebel forces? (In any event, there seems to be a loophole for giving intelligence to National Council. Which would help them if they are forced to fight Gaddafi unaided.)]

AJ speculation: Arab League’s hedges may have been at insistence of Syria and Algeria, who resisted NFZ.

So the EU and AJ hurdles have been cleared; the final NFZ hurdle is the UN Security Council. My guess is that the unanimous Arab League approval will be enough to bring over Russia and China.

Correction: “…the NATO (not EU) hurdle…”

Japan update: The casualties will be horrendous. In only ONE tsunami-devastated town (pop 17,0000) 10,000 missing. The containment structure of a nuclear reactor has been destroyed; evacuation radius expanded to 20 km (so far). [3-Mile never lost containment, btw]

Over 60 recorded aftershocks so far, the largest of which (7.1) was much stronger than the recent Christchurch quake. After the monster 8.9 quake, the instability has been transferred all along the fault line (and to a another unstable fault on the east side of the islands). Major aftershocks might go on for days.

This looks just awful.

Hey! Wisconsin makes the global news! Also the mass teacher pink-slips in Providence. So US disasters are also getting some international coverage.

Your brain writes new memories over old ones by default – but the memories it values (& reminisces over or contemplates) enough endure. Brains also play a cornucopia of funny tricks with the memories it DOES keep. I have heard of no drawbacks or ill-effects from exploiting association to develop prodigal mnemonic ability (“Mega-Memory”). What INTENTIONAL forgetfulness entails is another kettle of sharks altogether.

Yes, shoo-fly pie is basically restructured molasses. There are in fact any number of versions but they all fit into either the wet-bottom or dry-bottom categories. It is ungodly sweet, one teensy sliver is all I can manage. It’s more of a nostalgia thing for me than a real hankering for it. It is similar to my penchant for fish on Friday – it’s just an inculturated thing despite The Ho’s accusations of closet Catholicism.

Word from an insider is that the stations are pee eye ess ess ee dee that NPR, despite having a huge number of FUCKING JOURNALISTS on staff, instead of HAVING THEM DO THE SAME THING BECK’s MINIONS DID just rolled over thereby implicitly endorsing O’Keefie and Breitblart’s tactics. Did no one learn from the Shirley Sherrod fiasco? Did they ask John Kerry how to handle it?

Anyway, the fringe idea is that Beck is prepping for Faux dropping him (you’ve all heard about that, yes?) and may want to do a reverse Juan Wiliams. Not that it would ever happen. BTW, it is inductive and very amusing to read the Beckoid’s commentary on that anomalous piece of journalism. Strike ‘amusing’, there be sweet sweet tropical fruits there.

What Josh Marshall said, below a link to the Times’s thing:

I hadn’t heard that take on it. But I’ve heard something else from within the Fox-associated, right-wing-mediasphere. Basically a lot of chatter to the effect that as great as Beck has been in business terms, there’s a pretty total appreciation at Fox corporate at this point that he’s completely crazy — as in more than the normal run of Fox News personalities — and that they know that something either really awful or incredibly embarrassing will inevitably happen … and probably in the pretty near future.

Right, and he’s there to sell ad space. If you’ve got an audience as dumb as that you should be able to sell ‘em shit sandwiches.

Beck’s ratings are down, his FOX contract is up at the end of the yr., his radio show’s off the air in Philly & NY, & unless a caliphate from Indonesia to Iberia comes into being pretty soon, the only conspiracy angle he’ll have to go w/ is alien lizard people, because he’s painted himself into a conspiratorial corner.

Also read somewhere this wk. that Beck has no national advertisers, just the gold & survival food scams. And I suspect most of that is “per-inquiry”, i.e., FOX gets a nickel or something for each call the advertiser actually receives.

Even the manufacturers of shit sandwiches may be a little nervous about being associated w/ him.

Also, Beck’s audience skews old & reitred. Little disposable income; not very likely to try anything new.

Any word on the front lines Fenwick? I heard that the rebels took a big hit yesterday.

You’re right, gocart: Zawiya–the fourth largest city, and a hugely important oil port–fell testerday after a heroic 20-day siege. Two other major oil ports–though tiny towns–have fallen: Ras Lanuf on Thursday, and Brega today. (Thus, Libya’s three largest oil ports are now in Gaddafi’s hands.)

Rebels have retreated to the small city of Ajdabiya, a vital forward base for the rebels. It is now under ‘heavy attack’. (I believe they are only probing, staging, and softening the rebels for a major attack tomorrow.

Bad shit is going down right now. The Council is going to have a damn long row to hoe if they are to overthrow Gaddafi without any outside help, and relying only on poorly-trained and poorly-armed militia.

A lot of blood has been spilled in the last three weeks (and widespread destruction). I fear that buckets more will be shed before Gaddafi falls. (FWIW, I suspect there are serious reprisals going in right now in Zawiyah.)

By the way, WordPress ate my tag-rich post. I’m going to take a break then try again. FYWP. With radioactive fuel rod.

Which reminds me: US sending 60 nuclear specialists to Japan. Japanese authorities claim the reactor core is still intact, even though the containment structure appears to have blown to smithereens. Reports that another reactor is in trouble, too.

That’s “please-don’t-let-him-meet-with-anyone-under-age-of-15-with-the-door-closed” hair.

An open door policy.

Very strict.

“Uh, Looch, please step into my office, and bring that Hummel with you, while you’re at it.”

 
 

Nononono.

I was, to be clear, speaking of the hair on the fella who is pictured at the top of this here post.

The blond with the rack? And the lizard/alien fixation?

That’s weapons-grade crazy. Underneath the “sexy suburban housewife” guise is pure, uncut, fresh-off-the-boat whack.

Government-funded mental health care.

Now, more than ever.

Looch, it’s a trap!

 
 

Whaaa?

*gurk*

 
 

Kinda gal give a d00d wet screaming, shrieking nightmares.

YMMV.

But, no.

No.

 
 

Apparently my brain has outrun my memory or something, only to be expected when one mistakes quantity for quality.

I assume that MB was still talking about breasticles.

Jawohl, mein Mistress!

Hummel

Wait. Is that what you did with those Hummel figurines I sent you? BASTARD!
Nah, I used them in a weird ritualistic sex game a figurine fetishist.

This is the Internizzle so there are pictures.

Want it.

 
 

The fact is, what has happened in Wisconsin and Ohio practically gives me a boner for freedom.

 
 

Not Heartlandy enough, Gary- I give it a 2/10. Please try again, and spell Boehner correctly.

 
 

Freedom Boners aren’t free!

Cut. Print. Bumper sticker. BOOM.

 
 

The fact is, you liberals are tryeing to make fun of me and the silent majority of hardworking heartlanders here in the heartland, but you are failing.

 
 

*VPR

Of course there is.

There always is.

Always.

 
 

Gary, that’s a retread complaint, bud.

 
 

You know what’s sad? Now I really really want my nym to be “FreedomBoners”

Shit, I may sign up at Wonkette just to see that foine name in action. I should be sharing my FreedomBoners with the world!!

 
 

Shit, I may sign up at Wonkette

You grow up and you calm down
You’re working for the clampdown
You start wearing the blue and brown
You’re working for the clampdown
So you got someone to boss around
It makes you feel big now
You drift until you brutalize
You made your first kill now

Only practically? What, not enough child-filled playgrounds for you?

This is the hard-data set-up for an analytic / speculative piece coming later tonight. Interested Sadlies might wish to copy the text for future reference.

The Coastal Road

The three strip-maps below show Libya’s high-capacity Coastal Road from the Tunisian border to the Egyptian border. Each segment is shown West-to-East. Let’s assume that NO Western boots will be deployed on the ground. Thus, Gaddafi must be overthrown solely by the National Council’s militia forces…which are only capable of ground operations. The Coastal Road, therefore, is the most vital component of the strategic situation.

KEY:
—140— Coastal Road, intervals in miles [route distance (not air)]
major city
(lost)……….controlled by rebels @20 Feb, since captured by Gaddafi
((resists))…Mistrata still holds out
O …. key oil port
II…….branch highway into Sahara
Air….Sirte’s vital military airfield: Three double-runways in triangular layout; protected individual shelters for 80 fighter-bombers. Suppression of Sirte will be a major objective of the NFZ (if there is one).

Tripolitania [Gaddafi]: Northwestern and most populous area of Libya: Zawiya, Tripoli (the capital), and Misrata are the 4th, 1st, and 3rd largest Libyan cities. Most of the area is now largely under Gaddafi’s control (though tenuous in places). Zawiya, which fell Friday, is the key oil port in Tripolitania; it handles production from large offshore drilling sites. Sirte–Gaddafi’s place of birth–is his vital forward base for striking west against the Council’s forces.

[Tunisia]—140—(Zawiya-O)—30—Tripoli || —110—((Misrata)) || —150— Sirte || Air

Gulf of Sirte [the ‘front’]: The 200 miles between Sirte [Gaddafi] and Ajdabiya constitute the main front of the military struggle so far; almost all of it is now under Gaddafi’s control. The Sirte-Ajdabiya route is nearly unpopulated, only a few very small towns laced along the Coastal Highway. The highway runs quite close to the coast (generally within three miles), with only a few poor roads or tracks branching inland. Most of the ground fighting has flowed between Bin Jawad and Ajdabiya, the National Council’s key forward military base. The rebels have pulled back to there; Ajdabiya is reportedly under ‘fierce attack’. There are reports of stay-behind rebel forces attacking the oil ports of Ras Lanuf and Brega.

Sirte || Air —110—(Jawad)—10—(Lanuf-O)—25—(Brega-O)—50—Ajdabiya ||

Cyrenaica [National Council]: Eastern Libya is the stronghold of National Council. Benghazi, Libya’s 2nd largest city, is the Council’s seat-of-government. No major oil ports. Ajdabiya, the rebels forward base is a vital road junction: An inland highway [@ 260 miles, secondary-quality] cuts across the ‘bulge’ of Cyrenaica, linking Ajdabiya and Tobruk. Ajadabia also has the only rebel-held highway into the Sahara.

Ajdabiya ||—95—Benghazi—320—Tobruk—80—[Egypt]

[Military history footnote: The most important WWII campaigns in North Africa flowed back and forth across Cyrenaica; Ajdabiya was Rommel’s key base of operations.]

Ladies and Gents, that was some nasty-ass tag problem! Now I’m going to cross my fingers and click on Submit Comment….

That ain’t nothing- I was washed in the blood of the Lambeosaurus!

 
 

All: Terriffic thread ya got goin’ here. I really needed some larfs and I larfed aplenty getting caught up!

B^4: You’ve been on some kinda roll this evening. Special Fenwickian applause for the Wehrmacht SPA joke.

In my first, WordPress-eated attempt, I had an important reference link. But I forget to slip it in when I re-keyed it. So here is the Google map of Libya. [Can’t get tags to work. Sorry.]

On-Topic! Does that guy in Tintin’s photoshop look like a creeped-out Stuart Smalley?

I believe that was exford. Are you ready to roll out your blog? You can Google “html tags” to find lists of tags- I typically cut and paste them from a “clipboard” file.

The fact is,

 
 

Its kind of fucked up how these anti-union bills keep getting shoved down our throats state by state by newly empowered gop shitstains

 
 

My throat is getting annoyed. I mean, there’s only so much shoving that can get shoved before there is an extinction-level shoving back event. O how them what shoves will rue the shoving.

 
 

I’ll save the rest of the Libya stuff until tomorrow (after which I’ll work on the Duchy). Thanks to all for letting me use S,N as an ersatz blog.

I was born 13 March 1949, so this is only two years away. Been workin’ on my beard to get ready, though it’s not nearly white enough yet.

I’m thoroughly stoned.

*steps back into the shadows*

 
 

The shoving I have suffered today will not be soon forgotten. I will not be forgetting, (pause) the shoving. No it won’t be forgotten, not the shoving.

 
 

With apologies to pedestrian, of course.

 
 

Ooh, damn you Fenwick. Had I gotten notice of your birthday a tiny bit earlier, I coulda organized a special team, and we’d have requisitioned choppers and/or limousines and gotten to you at daybreak with breakfast in bed, a set of soft restraints, and the most gentle but thoroughly exquisite state-of-the-art straight razor shave. Yes, you might have initially felt some apprehension, but by noon, I swear you’d have been feeling profoundly satisfied, and cute as a button and worthy of a cascade of bubbly sincere SQUEES.

Happy b-day, dude.

 
 

Hmmmmmm…………..sez here that another sagacious fellow born on this day

Now what the hell did people useta breathe before that???

Anyhow, cheers.

It’s my brother’s birthday, too. He’s probably thoroughly stoned, as well, lucky bastard.

I was just sitting here enjoying my half-28-year-old, and now I’m laughing.

 
 

Ha. Someone even older dropping in to wish you a Happy Birthday, ya whippersnapper.
Oh, and where’s the damn blog, huh?

 
 

Hey! Bowties are cool!
