What is Eric Cantor up to? UPDATE II
A bit off the well-trod path, but I found this post by Patrick Lang thought provoking. It takes a look at Virginia's 7th District, which Cantor "represents." Looking at the district, Lang asks how well he really represents them, and what are his real political goals."Do people in Eric Cantor's district really want him as their congressman? It seems like a mis-match. Cantor is a very smooth Richmond lawyer type. As the saying goes, "butter wouldn't melt in his mouth." He is always well spoken and eloquent, well dressed and is well heeled."The district is not like that. It stretches from the northern and western exurbs of Richmond far to the northwest through farm country, up through the Piedmont and over the Blue Ridge to include Page County in the Luray arm of the Shenandoah Valley....The district is 80% white. Incomes are modest. The population is mainly people whose ancestors have lived there for a long time. Typically, they live in small, well kept houses sited for a view of the countryside. The houses average around $130,000 in price. This is the heartland of the country of Jefferson's Virginia yeomen."UPDATE: TPM: "Behind the scenes, leading members of both parties have concluded that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) is an impediment to resolving the debt limit standoff, and should back down. Now, Democrats are publicly calling for him to get real or go home."UPDATE !!: Glenn Thrush of Politico has this run-down of the debt wreck's major players, including Cantor, etc. Wonkies will enjoy reading it: "Debt Limit Talks: Reading Their Minds" Tom Stoppard might do justice to this after it's over and if the world is still solvent.

What is Canter up too? Have you watched him lurking in the rear over Boenher's shoulder? Have you noted Boenher's strained look lately? "Yon Cassius has that lean and hungry look'... Boenher out by 9-1-11
OK - he's elected by 60% plus every time in an area that was previously a dem stronghold.Well, it's obvious - those morons are being fooled by this slick lawyer!Did it ever occur to NYC sophisticates that all those benighted yokels in fly-over country think the same thing about you when they listen to the likes of Anthony Weiner, Charles Rangle, and Jerry Nadler?
Read the post. The question is raised by Pat Lang, a Virginian.
Jerry Nadler is my congressman, and I couldn't be happier.Sean, do you know any jokes or anything? What makes you smile? Do you ever listen to music? Are you irritated all the time, or just when you write here?
Never ascribe to malice what can be sufficiently explained by stupidity. Mark TwainNever attribute to conspiracy that which can be explained by incompetence. Napolean Bonaparte
True enuf, Jimmy Mac; but there is some evidence that Cantor is neither stupid nor incompetent. Just very wrong. Have you an epigraph for that?
It is highly advantageous for a district to be represented by a senior congressman, who chairs important committees or holds a leadership position. It helps, not to put too fine a point on it, with getting pork shoveled into the district's trough. Voters are pretty good at recognizing the value of an incumbent. In the Senate, Tom Daschle and Robert Byrd held onto seats that would otherwise have been Republican long ago; Snowe and Collins' seats in Maine will go to Democrats when they retire.
What exactly is Cantor delivering to his constituents because of his seniority?
The district is 80% white. Incomes are modest. The population is mainly people whose ancestors have lived there for a long time.

Odd article - very class-conscious: people should stay in their places - black with black, white with white, rich with rich, and poor with poor.
"What exactly is Cantor delivering ... " I don't know, specifically. Aren't all but the grossest pork projects usually disguised in the budget? I am going on the assumption that all politicians funnel benefits (legally, even when distastefully) toward their own districts and powerful politicians do it more effectively. It seems the obvious answer to "why don't his constituents dump him in favor of someone more like themselves?"Is the question whether he has higher aspirations? Of course he does. Do you know a lot of politicians who look in the mirror in the morning and say to themselves, "Well, I think I've risen to the level of my competence. Now I should just concentrate on doing my job well."

All worth contemplating and, of course, diagramming.
i've been thinking bad thoughs about the US voter but the JFK qoute by Jimmy Mac says it all. Thank you, JM
It says leading members of both parties, but both quotes are from leading Democrats, or has Schumer recently switched parties?
I know what made me smile, this: Jerry Nadler is my congressman, and I couldnt be happier.
What I know about VA 7th district is what I read in Pat Lang's post (by the way, like you he is former military (retired), a graduate of VMI, and from time to time refers to himself as a redneck); he lives in Virginia--a tad closer to DC. I was intrigued by Lang's implicit question: exactly how does Cantor represent long-settled people in Western Virginia (part of the Appalachians it appears), of modest means, some of them certainly retired. Like many New Yorkers they would likely suffer badly from another economic shock, if there is one. I guess that was what Lang was getting at. As far as I can tell, Cantor is not a member of the Tea Party, but closely allied and a man intent on becoming speaker of the house. If Boehner were more inclined to the Tea Party, would Cantor be more moderate? So maybe the question might be: what happens when one's ambitions outrun the needs of the district you represent?Here is the wikipedia description of the 7th district: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia%27s_7th_congressional_district
Gasoline prices skyrocketed in the Chicago area over the last 24 hours - close to, or over, $4/gallon. From what I understand, the market fundamentals - supply and demand - indicate that prices should be holding steady or even declining modestly. The reason given for the leap in prices? Market jitters over the possibility that a deal will not get done. It's July 15, and the two sides seem farther apart than when they started these daily negotiations.I heard someone opine recently that this is all political theater, and a deal will get done. About now would be a good time, istm.
David,You assume far too much. I actually am an amateur musician - so I do listen to music. And I am generally a very happy guy. The fact that I am sometimes annoyed by these posts doesn't mean squat about my general personality or philosophy of life. In fact, aside from irritation, I think my posts point at the humor of things - your problem is that I might be laughing at you.In this case, I am pointing out something that I see time and again from the dotcommonweal posters - their complete and utter inability to understand how other people might perceive something and the implicit assumption that they are confused, duped, or just stupid if they disagree with their point of view. Because I spent 24 years travelling the world in uniform, I have lived in small southern towns, large east coast cities, Western Europe, war-torn Bosnia, an ivy league college town, and more. Beside meeting people myself, I have dozens of friends who have lived everywhere from Malaysia to Russia who share their experiences with me. I have to say the most narrow-minded people (outside the Islamic world) I have met or heard of are east/west coast American progressives - particularly those in academia. I saw more intollerance, snobbery, and downright nastiness in two major east coast universities than I ever did in the rural South.MargaretAh someone else wrote the article. So you disagree with him then?
I think Pat Lang's implicit question was "If I ran against him would I have a chance?" And the answer is probably "No way."Maybe it's because I went to school back in the days when Soviet Communism was still taken seriously, but this budget fight looks pretty simple to me. People who have wealth want to keep it. They want low taxes and small government. People who do not have wealth want to tax the people who have it and spend it on social programs that benefit themselves.Why do Western Virginians of modest means stick with the former instead of going over to the latter. Is it (1) because they are philosophically convinced that the best way to get wealthy is not to tax people who have it, but to let the people who have it invest it and make jobs? Or is it because (2) a lot of white people consider themselves honorary Haves, whether or not they really have?Opinions differ. I estimate it's mostly (1) and a little of (2)
Felapton: "(1) because they are philosophically convinced that the best way to get wealthy is not to tax people who have it, but to let the people who have it invest it and make jobs? Or is it because (2) a lot of white people consider themselves honorary Haves, whether or not they really have?"Number 1 may be convincing to some, but making jobs has not been what happens certainly in the last decade. In this case people's convictions are not supported by the facts. Number 2 seems possible, even probable. Mary Jo Bane at a Fordham conference once discussed this phenomenon of people voting against their "class" interests. Her speculation was that in the U.S. (unlike many European countries) the system of upward mobility is sufficiently fluid that many people of few or moderate means vote for the candidates of the well-off because they think that's where they're headed, economically speaking. How about Number 3: many/most people don't pay close attention to what their elected representatives are up to?
So what are the implications of this economic crisis?Short term -- *Obama will cave? If so, what will he grant? *The Republican leadership will cave? If so what will they grant? *Neither will cave? *They will somehow compromise? If so, how?Short term worst case if neither caves -- * The bond market will collapse sending the world economy into the feared depression?* Congress will shortly thereafter come to its senses and extend the debt limit enough the pay our bills until after the next election?* Other? What?
Obama, Boehner, McConnell, Reid, and Pelosi will come to some agreement, which passes--mostly with Dems in the House, and a mixed vote in the Senate. But what do I know except that they all appear to be adults who know what will happen if they don't reach an agreement. They'll all lose their next election except for Pelosi.Coming to an agreement doesn't mean there won't be trouble with U.S. credit worthiness. Foreigners (govt. corp., and individuals) are being exposed to the nuttiness of our politics. It should frighten them; it should frighten us! Krugman this morning: "Getting to Crazy"; http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/15/opinion/15krugman.html?hp
Thanks for the Krugman article, Ms. S. The question I ask is: why has The Republican Party produced so few capable leaders in the last few decades? Mitt Romney is the strongest of the declared would be candidates, and he's no prize. A survey of the others running is scary. Where, for instance, are the Tafts, the Rockefellers, the Jerry Fords , the Doles, the other Republicans of stature?What in the philosophy of the GOP has led to its current state?
I tried to answer this question in a column last October and began with homage to Bob O'Rourke the Moderate Republican precinct captain in our neighborhood and counterpart to my Aunt Ann O'Brien, Moderate Democratic precinct captain (when I was a child in Chicago). Conclusion: "The party of probity and gravitas has become the party of duplicity and triviality. Where are the Bob ORourkes of this world when we really need them?" Along the way in the column I took several stabs at trying to figure out what happened to the Moderate Republicans. Here: http://commonwealmagazine.org/trivial-pursuits
I try to avoid the political blogs these days as the same old suspects keep firing away with no chance of real dialogue.Last night AC 360 opened with a montage of GOP leaders saying repeatedly "the American people don't want taxes raised."Cooper than cites six or seven polls showing the opposite is true (in spades.)But, as in blogging, political honesty doesn't matter -only ideology that worships at the Norquist altar where the first commandment is never compromise.BLECH
Bob N. --I saw some of that AC 360 spot too. The resistance of those GOP politicians to the results of those polls is frightening. It's not a matter of one or two of them being wrong about one or two polls -- it's a matter of ALL of them wrong about ALL of those major polls that is insane. Krugman is right. They're bonkers. What has happened to the GOP?
The NYT has an editorial supporting the Irish government. It ends:"With the pedophilia scandal under investigation worldwide, Vatican officials point to new, tougher rules. But the rules, which do not require dioceses to report allegations of crimes to the police, are considered only advisory guidelines to bishops. The Dublin government has enacted a new law making it a crime for anyone, church officials included, to fail to report child abuse to civil authorities. The Vatican has a valuable lesson to learn in Ireland."When was the last time the Vatican learned anything?
Oops --.sorry. I posted that on the wrong thread.
Ameica has a piece on Catholic Social Justice Leaders call on the President and Congress to protect the poor in debt reduction talks.Among the signees was America"s Editor, Fr. Christiansen; I would have liked to see Commonweal's editors names prominently included.Of course ur friends on the right wil lsay who are thesx people and what do they know about ecomics or politics or , really., MY IDEOLOGY?Tome Friedman's piece in the Sunday NYT shows how the boomers will kill the America they inherited.Another NYT news piece shows how intransigent they are: not caring iif they get reelcted, they are there to insist on ideology - a bunch of twinkies IMO with no insight into how to govern, and at the top of this group as the now emerged spokesperson -Mr. Cantor.
"a bunch of twinkies IMO with no insight into how to govern"...perhaps the people who elected them should be the first to have cutbacks on all the things govt. does for them. If that's how they voted, they should take responsibility for their choice.Yes, yes, I'm sure it's unconstitutional and immoral, but what the hell we're they thinking.

Early mistakes doom Rams in loss to Fairfield Prep
CHESHIRE — The best thing the Cheshire football team can do is forget about Friday's game against Fairfield Prep as qiuickly as possible.
Prep turned two of three Cheshire fumbles into touchdowns and dominated upfront on both sides of the ball in a 39-6 victory over the Rams in a SCC interdivisional contest.
"You can't make mistakes early on and get backed into the corner against a good football team," Cheshire coach Don Drust said. "They just kept swinging and swinging and you have to go punch for punch for them. We dug ourselves a hole."
Prep (4-1) started quickly, stopping Cheshire without a first down before going on a 33-yard drive that culminated in a 1-yard TD dive by quarterback Strecker Backe and a 7-0 lead just 5:11 into the game.
Cheshire (3-2) was able to keep the Jesuits from scoring following its first turnover, but was unable to repeat the result on its second giveaway. Starting at the Rams' 14, Prep doubled its lead when Dillon Ryan scored on an 11-yard run with 3:52 still left in the opening quarter.
"You have to get momentum going early," Drust said. "High school football is all about emotion. The first time that something doesn't go right hurts a little bit and you have to find ways to dig out."
After stopping Prep on a three-and-out early in the second quarter, Cheshire was able to briefly get untracked offensively. A 26-yard completion from Vin Sansone to Jack Cunningham was the big play in a 54-yard drive that ended in an 8-yard TD run by Cunningham as Cheshire cut the Prep lead to 14-6 with 8:01 left in the first half.
The Rams then needed to make a statement on defense, but Prep made one of its own. A 32-yard run by Joseph Ganim and a 10-yard run by Backe preceded a 6-yard TD pass from Backe to Chris Golger that put Prep ahead, 21-6, with 3:50 remaining in the second quarter.
"This was just like the Hand game [a 35-7 Cheshire loss] when you make mistakes against a good football team and this is what happens," Drust said. "Prep is a good football team and I think we are too - when we don't make mistakes. We have to find a way to be more consistent."
Prep's initial second-half drive ended at the Cheshire 27. The Rams then took a chance on a fourth-and-1 from their 36, but Sam Pascale lost a yard to give the ball back to the Jesuits. After two plays gained nine yards, John Moten ran untouched for 26 yards and a touchdown that extended Prep's lead to 27-6 midway through the third quarter.
"I was trying to find anything and get the ball rolling in the right direction," Drust said. "Things just weren't bouncing our way and I was trying anything I could. You make decisions to try to light a fire and I could see it in our kids' eyes that we needed a jolt."
In the final quarter, Prep just kept doing what it had been doing the previous three - winning the battle on the lines. A 76-yard drive that took almost seven minutes ended in a 3-yard TD run by Ryan with 8:15 to play. After the Rams turned the ball over on their first play following the kickoff, Nicholas Crowle capped the scoring with an 11-yard run with 6:15 remaining.
"We came in and did a good job," Prep coach Tom Shea said. "We are satisfied tonight. I'm very proud of them and they are starting to believe in themselves."

6 Ways Your Office Is Literally Killing You
Statistically, most of you either work in an office, or will at some point. Hell, most of you are probably in an office right now.
So how are you feeling today? A little run-down maybe? Feel a headache coming on? Maybe a little congested? Would you believe us if we told you it's the office itself that's making you sick?
Because that's what the scientists are saying. You can thank...
#6. Sick Buildings
We're not even going to discuss how encrusted with germs your keyboard and desk phone are (we already wrote an entire separate article on that). But don't worry, that's just the beginning.
They call it Sick Building Syndrome--that's even what the EPA calls it. The thing is, once upon a time office buildings were built to let in a certain amount of fresh air. Since, you know, it's widely thought that air is something you need to live.
But then the 1970s hit and suddenly energy conservation was all the rage. That's why the windows in your office probably don't open, and why every crack and gap is sealed so tight you could probably set the building on the ocean floor and everybody would stay dry. The result is buildings that are great about keeping their temperature stable, but horrible at recycling air. They inhale pollutants via the air conditioning systems, but don't let them back out--to the point that the air inside that building can be up to 100 times dirtier than what you breathe outside.
If you're wondering how OSHA and other agencies let this go on, it's because all of their rules were written for shops that work with dangerous, smelly chemicals, rather than offices. There are no real standards to protect the cubicle-dwellers. As a result, for years office workers were coming down with strange symptoms no one could pin down to any actual illness. In 1984 no less than the freaking World Health Organization determined that at least 30 percent of buildings in the world were subject to "excessive complaints" about air quality. What kind of complaints?
Look up. See that ventilation duct? That most likely ends up over your parking lot. The lot that a whole bunch of cars drove into this morning. Now all that lovely, poisonous carbon monoxide they produced is slowly making its way into your lungs.
Is the building you work in more than 10 years old? Then the chances are there is black mold somewhere in the place, especially if you live in a very wet or humid area. Black mold releases Volatile Organic Chemicals which are toxic to humans. Thousands of people suffer from black mold poisoning every year. Symptoms range from coughing to memory loss to infertility. Again, if you find it in your house, you can scrub it with Pine-Sol and open up a window. If it's growing within the walls of your air-tight office? Good luck.
Of course, even if they clean up the mold, you still have to contend with...
#5. Gadget Pollution
Did you ever notice that funny smell that comes from the photocopier? That's ozone and the EPA warns that even inhaling small amounts can lead to "chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath and throat irritation." Don't worry though, because the manufactures know this and your ancient photocopier was built with a filter to deal with the ozone it produces and... when was the last time someone changed that filter? Because they deteriorate over time and become useless. So all that deadly ozone is slowly filling up the copy room.
They are coming for you.
Your laser printer is no better. It emits ozone as well, but more importantly most laser printers give off tiny particles of toner. And just because they are tiny doesn't mean there aren't dangerous. Their size means they can make their way into the deepest parts of the lungs and can even enter the blood stream, possibly increasing your chances of cancer and heart disease.
The air you are breathing right now is seriously inundated with toner. A study found that one office had five times as many particles in the air during work hours as opposed to off hours.
So how bad is it, really? Well, at best it's like smoking a few cigarettes. Yes, that's the best case scenario. The worst case: You might as well be working in a coal mine. Excessive exposure to toner dust from printers and copiers can lead to siderosilicosis, a lung disease commonly found in miners.
"Can you have that report done after lunch?"
#4. Lighting
Have you ever walked into your office (or a shopping mall) and blinked because it was actually brighter in there than outside in the sunlight? That's due to an incredibly common problem called "over-illumination." That's basically any time artificial light is brighter than it needs to be to do a given task. And if your task is sitting at a computer all day, the chances are you don't need your surroundings to be brighter than your computer screen or, say, the surface of the sun.
Another lovely day at the office.
We assume you don't sit at home with your laptop under a police spotlight so why do you need to feel like that at work? The answer is you don't, and moreover the over-illumination is making you feel like shit.
If you come home from work most days with a headache it might not be due to the stench of microwave popcorn and the lite rock on the muzak. It might simply come down to the lighting. Almost all office buildings built before the mid-1990s are designed to be too bright, possibly because architects wanted to make sure people could really see the exquisite detail on your piano key necktie.
The use of florescent lights and/or over-illumination can cause health concerns including headache, fatigue, stress, anxiety, cardiovascular disease and, wait for it, erectile dysfunction.
That's right, not only could those annoying lights that eventually start blinking and buzzing yet maintenance never fucking changes them no matter how many times you ask give you a heart attack, but they could also affect your performance in bed. Which will in turn add to your stress level making it a vicious, deadly cycle.
Apparently this happens because our bodies are designed to respond to sunlight. Anything brighter than that our bodies don't really understand so for some reason they decide to react as if we're in total darkness. This in turn messes up our natural sleep cycle, leading to a myriad of health problems. All because of some stupid light bulbs.

4:12 PM: FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - The soldier convicted of killing 13 people in 2009 at Fort Hood says he will continue to represent himself during sentencing.
A military jury found Maj. Nidal Hasan guilty of murder on Friday. The trial now moves into the sentencing phase, which begins Monday. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Hasan.
Prosecutors say they will call at least 19 witnesses during sentencing. It is not clear if Hasan will call any witnesses.
During the trial, Hasan gave a brief opening statement but called no witnesses in his defense and did not give a closing argument.
The military judge, Col. Tara Osborn, told Hasan Friday that she thought it was unwise for him to be his own attorney. But Hasan said he still wanted to do it.
FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - Maj. Nidal Hasan has been convicted of premeditated murder for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood. That means he's now eligible for the death penalty.
Military jurors found the Army psychiatrist guilty on Friday for the attack that killed 13 people and injured more than 30 others at the Texas military base.
The trial now enters a penalty phase, where prosecutors will ask jurors to sentence Hasan to death.
Hasan is acting as his own attorney. But he didn't call witnesses or testify, and he questioned only three of prosecutors' nearly 90 witnesses.
Through media leaks and statements to the judge, the American-born Muslim signaled that he believed the attack was justified as a way to protect Islamic and Taliban leaders from U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Is there a way to add callbacks for when an item is added to a habtm relationship?
For example, I have the following two models,
User and
# user.rb
class User; has_and_belongs_to_many :roles; end
# role.rb
class Role; has_and_belongs_to_many :users; end
I want to add a callback to the
<< method (
@user << @role), but I can't seem to find an ActiveRecord callback because there is no model for the join table (because its a true habtm).
I'm aware that I could write a method like
add_to_role(role), and define everything in there, but I'd prefer to use a callback. Is this possible?
