Below is nice compared to what I was told-that the meeting was complete chaos, described as a Hatfield and McCoys without the guns a donnybrook that the testosterone level was over the top between Bowyer and Borders.
Tyler didn't follow or know "Robert's Rules of Order" tried to adjourn meeting with a motion on the floor. Took out his phone to show photo's of his children stating this is where I should be I'm going home-left came back the motion was finally voted and Tyler survived the Resolution motion by one voteBY POLITICS ARIZONA · NOVEMBER 4, 2015
Maricopa County Chairman Tyler Bowyer barely survived a vote of no confidence motion at the Maricopa County Executive meeting this evening in Phoenix, AZ, as confusion and chaos forced at least one potential voter from the proceedings. The motion would have stripped Bowyer of his handling of county money and called for an audit of county funds. The resolution also expressed disapproval about Bowyers recent misleading statements on behalf of the county to the media, as well as his "self aggrandizement" by using county party funds to promote himself on facebook with paid advertising.
County leaders meet monthly to discuss policy, party strategy, and to report the work they are doing in the county. Just days prior to the meeting, Bowyer went on news shows misrepresenting the county party members position on key education votes that many school districts were holding regarding bonds and overrides. He led opposition to the funding requests he said with unanimous support from all the Republican chairmen. On Tuesday, most Arizona school districts voted for passage of these overrides The Republican Party of Maricopa County lost, and lost convincingly, in 24 of 28 races.
While Bowyer's embarrassing interview on 12 news may have been a tipping point, his poor judgment in his first year of being chairman has been apparent for months. Read Full Article

Disadvantages of commodity telephony
I love Skype. I mean free calls, no up front cost, no obligation? What's not to like? Skype is the only way I make calls to Europe and make 3-way calls, although I use a regular (phone number-based) VoIP service for calls in "North America." I even sometimes help support their "freemium" business model.
But today Skype failed me when I most needed it — when I was trying to finalize decisions for the conference minitrack (on IT standards) that I've been running for the past 4 years. I needed to confer with my two co-chairs who are in Europe, but all I got was a Skype client that wouldn't work, and even a website that wouldn't come up.
Finally, Skype admitted to their problems on their home page:
UPDATED 16 August, 2007 14:02 GMT: Some of you may be having problems logging in to Skype. Our engineering team has determined that it's a software issue. We expect this to be resolved within 12 to 24 hours. Meanwhile, you can simply leave your Skype client running and as soon as the issue is resolved, you will be logged in. We apologize for the inconvenience.Reading between the lines, they did a planned maintenance on Wednesday, suggesting that they installed new software yesterday that doesn't work. I held off posting this waiting for a resolution, but 13 hours after the original posting they are still making excuses
Apologies for the delay, but we can now update you on the Skype sign-on issue. … This problem occurred because of a deficiency in an algorithm within Skype networking software. This controls the interaction between the user's own Skype client and the rest of the Skype network.and even more excuses
Rest assured that everyone at Skype is working around the clock — from Tallinn to Luxembourg to San Jose — to resume normal service as quickly as possible.
Everyone at Skype continues to work hard at resolving the current software issue. We are making good progress. We feel that we are on the right track to bring back services to normal.Once upon a time, people in the U.S. paid for telephone service which was probably the most reliable and dependable function of our entire industrial economy. If the power went out, if there was an earthquake or blizzard, the phones would still work. About the only thing it couldn't handle was the annual flurry of long-distance calls on Mother's Day.
We thank you for your continued support and are thinking of you every step of the way.
(Updated at 2:15am GMT)
The disadvantage was that long-distance calls were way overpriced, until 1969 and 1977 when MCI found a way to arbitrage the cross-subsidy to create America's fastest growing communications company. After that, a railroad subsidiary decided to string fiber optic lines along its right-of-way and SPrint bragged that you could hear a "pin drop."
Now VoIP is threatening the Baby Bells, because people would rather have unreliable and low-quality service that's free, than expensive reliable service. Will there be competition that makes "free" service better? Or are we doomed to have mediocre quality in the name of commoditization?

5 Steps for International Students to Take Before Studying AbroadMay 02, 2014
Studying abroad can be a great idea for international students, and it's a topic that's been covered before in the International Student Counsel blog. In addition to this previous advice, I'd like to discuss some tips on what to do before your study abroad trip to get the most out of this wonderful experience.
1. end a few years in the U.S. first: I usually advise my fellow international student friends not to study abroad until at least the second semester of their sophomore year. I chose to study abroad at the Maastricht Universit in the Netherlands during the second semester of my junior year.
As an international student, you need to settle in at your U.S. school and overcome culture shock before thinking about going somewhere else. The good news is that by then, you will have done it once before and have a much easier time adapting to another culture!
[See how you can use an exchange program to prepare for U.S. study.]
2. Solicit advice from the international student office: As soon as studying abroad becomes a real possibility, you should go talk to many people, since you will need a lot of support and advice in this process.
Your first stop should be the ternational student services office at your college, where you can find out about visa requirements should you choose to travel in different areas of the world. In many schools, the international student rvices office also serves as the study abroad office, so you can also discuss which program is most appropriate for your interests and circumstances.
3. Find out how it will affect your academics: Your next stop is your academic adviser's office. It is important for you to discuss your intentions with your adviser to ensure that studying abroad will not delay your graduation. Your adviser can also help you pick a program that can fulfill certain credits, either general ones or for your major.
4. Ask the financial aid office about funding: Finally, you should go talk to someone at the nancial aid office of your school, especially if you are on any kind of scholarship or receiving financial aid. Study abroad programs might cost more or less than tuition and room and board at your school. Talking to someone will give you a good idea of whether you will need more money, or will have extra for travelling.
I found out that the financial package I had from Colorado College not only covered my expense for my program in the Netherlands, but also gave me an extra $200 per month for other expenses. It took all I had to not hug the financial officer who delivered the good news.
5. Start application early: As an international student, you might need extra paperwork for the program, as well as extra time to obtain a visa to the destination country. In some cases, students might also need to return to their home country to obtain a visa back to the U.S.
This is why you should talk to the international student service office at your school to find out exactly what needs to be done, and start the process early to make sure that you gather everything in time to start the program.
Also, it doesn't hurt to book the flights very early. That money save could later be spent on a weekend trip to somewhere like Brussels for some unforgettably delicious chocolate.

Sienna Miller, Chloë Sevigny Join Stillman's Love and Friendship
(The Austen movie.)
So yes, in addition to the novel that Stillman announced last week, he is also continuing with the film adaptation of an early Jane Austen work — though the movie appears to be an adaptation of Lady Susan, her second novella, even though it takes its name from the first. Anyway: Miller will play the aforementioned Lady Susan, who's trying to find a husband and marry off her daughter; Sevigny will play a "close friend" and partner in scheming. Filming starts this summer.

You are here
Wedding bells in the air?
But I still haven't sorted out the lingerie I'm going to wear under my wedding dress. I've bought a gorgeous white dress with halter and open back. Do you have anything for me?
A gorgeous wedding dress obviously deserves gorgeous lingerie! The Marie Jo collection includes lots of white and off-white lingerie to ensure you look radiant on your big day! The best option under a halter dress is a strapless bra, a halter bra or a corsage. It's for you to choose what you feel most comfortable wearing.
This season, there are various Marie Jo and Marie Jo L'Aventure bras and corsages that may do the job. There's one in off-white in the Pauline series and one in white and off-white in the Jane series. Not forgetting Avero. Be sure to take a look at the Tom series, too. You might find just the bridal lingerie you are looking for. There's plenty to choose from in the Daniel series as well. And remember to choose the right briefs. One final thing: our shapewear range is ideal for radiant brides.

Chicken Pilau
Or should I call it Pilaf? Hubby thinks it tastes just like a biryani, I told him its a lazy version of Biryani,where everything is dumped into one pot. Yes ! I know! I love one pot recipes. Eid is coming up, the previous Eid or Eidhul Fithr is the Eid that celebrates the end of Ramadhan or the muslim fasting month. This upcoming Eid , Eidhul Adha is to celebrate the end of Hajj day and also known as the Festival of Sacrifice .
In Maldives Eidhul Adha is celebrated with quite the merry ment. Male city gets quite deserted as everyone heads to the islands to celebrate . So life in male city becomes quite tolerable then LOL, So I am looking forward for Eidhul Adha . Hopefully it wont be a rainy day, it has been raining a lot these past weeks, not that I am complaining, I love the rain, except the boys missed a few swim lessons. As I mentioned in an earlier post they don't go to an indoor pool, they swim in the sea. Hopefully one day they will finally make an indoor pool for regular swimmers and athletes.
Anyway, I wanted to post a recipe that is festive but still something that can be made quickly with minimum washing up afterwards. Its great served with a nice salad , some raita or Tzatziki , or even a simple Dhal curry.
Recipe: Chicken Pilau
1 kg Chicken, skinned and jointed in to large pieces.
1 medium onion, sliced thinly
4 -5 cloves garlic
1 inch ginger,
Juice of 1 lime.
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp tumeric
1 tsp garam masala, home made or store bought
1-2 green chillies, slit in two
1 pandan leaf, knotted or cut into rough strips
12 curry leaves
1 cup canned coconut milk
3 cups water
2 tomatoes, chopped
A nice bunch of coriander, leaves and stems finely chopped separately ( if unavailable use mint leaves)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup frozen green peas.
2 cups basmathi rice
2 inch cinnamon stick
6-8 cardamon pods ends snipped off
Oil, 3 tbsp or to make it more richer, 3 tbsp Ghee
Wash rice till the water runs clear, set aside.
In a blender or motor and pestle, puree the garlic and ginger with half the lime juice and a pinch of salt. Pour this onto the chicken and rub it in. Set aside.
Now, heat a large casserole or wok or any kind of cooking pot that will fit every thing in. Add oil and add the the onion slices, curry leaves , cinnamon and cardamon. Stir fry till the onions soften and starts to go translucent.
Add the tomatoes, the ground spices, tomato paste and coriander stems ( if using mint don't add it here) and stir for 1-2 mins. Add a few tablespoons of water and cook for one minute so the rawness of the spices goes off.
Carefully add the chicken pieces along with the marinade. Stir to coat well well with the spice mix and add the coconut milk , the chillies and 2 cups of water. Bring to a quick boil then lower heat to a medium heat and simmer covered till the chicken is almost done.
Now taste add salt, when you add salt you have to remember that you will be adding rice so make it slightly saltier than you normally add.
Stir in the rice, cook over a medium heat , if the water looks too little add the remaining 1 cup of water. Cook for 10 minutes,( you might need to stir now and then ), once the rice has absorbed all the liquid and looks done, bring the heat to the lowest and cover with the lid. Cook for 2 minutes or so, Then remove the lid add the chopped coriander leaves or mint. Cover again and then switch off the heat.
Let it sit for another 10 minutes, then remove the lid fluff up the rice, and serve!

President-elect George W. Bush Resigns as Governor of Texas
AUSTIN - George W. Bush officially announced his resignation as Governor of Texas at 10 a.m. today, December 21, 2000, in a brief ceremony at the State Capitol. With his successor Lieutenant Governor Rick Perry at his side, Bush said he is leaving the Governor's Mansion and Texas for the only possible reason: to become the President of the United States.
Today at 3 p.m. Perry will take the oath of office as Texas' 47th Governor.
Bush said that while he doesn't assume the office of the Presidency for 30 days, he is resigning now so that Perry can assemble his team and have a smooth transition.
During the brief address, Bush remarked that no one person can take credit for advances that the state has made while he was in office, saying that the credit must be shared equally, that it was a "true tribute to bipartisan efforts."
Bush closed by saying that while the Governor's Mansion was no longer his home, that "...Texas always will be."

Having a home with a water frontage on the Sunshine Coast, we have a lot of outdoor furniture. This furniture has many large cushions. We don't want to leave these cushions out in the weather when not being used. I looked at many storage solutions before deciding on a small shed. I searched the web and found Cheap Sheds. They offered a large range of shed sizes at the best prices. I ordered the size shed I felt was best for my requirement. Some days later I picked it up at a local depot and soon had it built. The instructions were extremely easy to follow and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of putting it together. This shed provides easy access, keeps the cushions out of all weather and out of sight. What's more it looks good. This shed is our prefect storage solution.

Inmate in strife after beer dash
AN inmate who made a mockery of the prison system by escaping from custody to go to the bottle shop has appeared in Hervey Bay Magistrates Court.
Steven Darrell Maher said he just wanted "a night off" when he and a fellow inmate escaped from a prison work camp at Blackall and walked 10km to the nearest bottle shop.
They bought several beers to drink and were later found by police in the grounds of the local school, where they were arrested and taken back into custody.
Maher, 39, pleaded guilty to escaping from lawful custody.
He was serving a six-month sentence at Capricornia Correctional Centre in Rockhampton for a drink-driving offence.
It was more than five months into his sentence when Maher decided he wanted a beer and simply "walked away" from the work camp on October 29.
Prosecutor Senior Constable Jeanette Grigoris said Maher's punishment should serve as a deterrent for other offenders with custodial sentences. It would also send a message to the public.
According to lawyer John Milburn, Maher decided to leave the work camp after being taunted by other inmates for trying to ingratiate himself with the guards.
He said this brought back memories for Maher of being teased as a child and left him feeling angry and in need of a drink.
"He just simply went and he was having a night off," Mr Milburn said. He added that Maher had always planned to return to the camp later on.
"It's just stupidity really," Magistrate Graeme Tatnell said.
"In relation to escape from custody, it would have to be the lowest on the scale," Mr Tatnell said.
"But I can't make it appear that it's okay to just walk out of a prison camp, go and have some drinks and just come back."
Maher, who works as a concreter in Mackay, was sentenced to four months' jail wholly suspended, so he walked from the court a free man.

ATHENS - There's an English bulldog puppy waiting for Michael Phelps and a week at a Wyoming time share.
Whether simple or elaborate, Phelps denied himself pleasure in many aspects of his life as he built the strength and mental resolve that resulted in Olympic history.
But now it's time to absorb his accomplishment, promote his corporate backers, see some ancient marvels and take a bow a week from today. How can the second half of the Athens Olympics produce a more worthy candidate to carry the American flag in the closing ceremony?

CNN's Howard Kurtz questioned what he described as Al Sharpton's conflicting roles in covering the story of Trayvon Martin's killing.
Martin was shot and killed in late February by a self-appointed neighborhood watchman volunteer, who claimed the teenager looked suspicious. Martin was walking home from his father's house in a gated community of Sanford, Florida. He was carrying a pack of Skittles and iced tea.
News of Martin's death exploded into the headlines when it became known that George Zimmerman, the man who shot Martin, was not arrested or even thoroughly investigated after his actions. Public figures and supporters of Martin's family called out for justice, alleging that Martin was a victim of racial profiling.
Sharpton has been one of the most outspoken activists in the Martin case. On Thursday, he participated in a rally in Sanford, Florida with Martin's family and friends. Between speeches, he taped his MSNBC show "PoliticsNation," and devoted coverage to the rally and shooting of Martin.
Kurtz wondered how MSNBC could allow Sharpton to participate in the rally and subsequently cover the event for his MSNBC show. "How on earth can Al Sharpton go there, be an activist, stand with the parents, and he asks people to contribute money, and he went to the Justice Department with the parents of Trayvon Martin. And then he does his [MSNBC] show, and then he speaks at the rally again. He's covering himself," Kurtz said. "How can MSNBC allow that?"
MSNBC, for its part, would seem to have planned for this kind of role for Sharpton from the start of his career there.
"We are breaking the mold," president Phil Griffin told the New York Times in September. "Anything he does on the streets, he can talk about on air — we won't hide anything."
Sharpton has also said that combining the show and his activism is an integral part of his hosting duties.

Evi Nemeth
|Evi Nemeth
|June 7, 1940
June 4, 2013 (aged 72)
Tasman Sea
|Missing for 5 years, 2 months and 12 days
|Author, retired professor
|Known for
|Lead author of "bibles" of system administration
Evi Nemeth (born June 7, 1940 – missing-at-sea June or July, 2013) was an engineer, author, and teacher known for her expertise in computer system administration and networks. She was the lead author of the "bibles" of system administration: UNIX System Administration Handbook (1989, 1995, 2000), Linux Administration Handbook (2002, 2006), and UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook (2010). Evi Nemeth was known in technology circles as the matriarch of system administration.[1][2]
Nemeth was best known in mathematical circles for originally identifying inadequacies in the "Diffie–Hellman problem", the basis for a large portion of modern network cryptography.[3]
Nemeth received her bachelor's degree in mathematics from Penn State in 1961 and her PhD in mathematics from the University of Waterloo, Ontario in 1971. She taught at Florida Atlantic University and the State University of New York at Utica (SUNY Tech) before joining the computer science department at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU-Boulder) in 1980. She served as manager of the college's computing facility from 1982 to 1986. She also was a visiting Associate Professor at Dartmouth College in 1990, and at UC San Diego in 1998, while on sabbatical from CU-Boulder.[4][5]
While at CU-Boulder, Nemeth was well known for her undergraduate systems administration activity, in which students over the years had the opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge and skills in Unix system administration. Together with Steve Wozniak, Nemeth established the Woz scholarship program at CU-Boulder which funded inquisitive undergraduates for many years. Nemeth also had a special talent for inspiring and teaching young people. She mentored numerous middle- and high-school students, who worked with her to support computing in the college and came to be known as "the munchkins". She also mentored talented young undergraduates, taking them to national meetings where they installed networks and broadcast the meetings' sessions on the Internet on the multicast backbone. She coached the university's student programming teams in the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest.[6]
From 1998 to 2006, Nemeth worked with Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) at the University of California, San Diego, on various Internet measurement and visualization projects.[5]
Outside the United States, Nemeth helped bring Internet technology to the developing world through her involvement with programs of the Internet Society and the United Nations Development Programme.[6]
Later life[edit]
After her retirement, Nemeth sailed her 40-foot sailboat Wonderland around various parts of the world, including a circuit of the Atlantic; the Panama Canal; and across the Pacific to New Zealand.[4] She, along with the other crew aboard the vintage yacht Niña, disappeared en route between New Zealand and Australia, on June 4, 2013.[7] On July 5, 2013, New Zealand authorities officially ended the search for the Niña,[8] however relatives of the crew of Niña have continued to search.[9]

"Early ethernet developers... objected to a roundoff error that exceeded the ARPANET's entire bandwidth, but marketing won out."[12]
"Many people equate the word 'daemon' with the word 'demon', implying some kind of Satanic connection between Unix and the underworld. This is an egregious misunderstanding. 'Daemon' is actually a much older form of 'demon'; daemons have no particular bias towards good or evil, but rather serve to help define a person's character or personality. The ancient Greeks' concept of a 'personal daemon' was similar to the modern concept of a 'guardian angel' – 'eudaemonia' is the state of being helped or protected by a kindly spirit. As a rule, Unix systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons." (p. 403, USAH)

Charlotte isn't the only city with traffic problems. In Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, two affiliates of I-77 Mobility Partners are working with state and local officials through two public-private partnerships to help reduce congestion in the Dallas/Fort Worth corridor and give drivers on such corridors choices about their commute through the use of managed lanes.
These projects have employed thousands of workers through the use of more than 200 regional and local companies. Both projects opened months ahead of schedule and on budget.
Now, NCDOT and I-77 Mobility Partners are helping commuters in the Charlotte region by working to reduce congestion on portions of the I-77 highway between Charlotte and Lake Norman through the use of express lanes. Watch the video below to see just how much things changed for drivers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area after the implementation of the projects, and the potential benefits for commuters using portions of I-77.

A few years ago, the Occupy movement appropriated Guy Fawkes masks as a symbol of resistance against an all-seeing state. The masks served two purposes – to anonymize participants in protests that were being filmed and shared around the internet, and to create an image of solidarity. While Guy Fawkes has been a symbol of resisting authority for hundreds of years (ever since his attempt to blow up the houses of Parliament), the mask that was used had been popularized by Alan Moore's graphic novel, "V for Vendetta," which was later made into a film of the same name.
Now, it looks like Thai protesters against the military coup have taken on a symbol from another film: the three-fingered salute from The Hunger Games franchise. While the exact meaning of the salute (in the context of Thai political protesters) isn't precisely clear, its use as a symbol of resistance to authority is. So much so that the military has made statements saying they will arrest any group of more than five people using the sign if those people refuse to disperse and desist.
The Guardian published an article deriding the appropriation of mass-culture symbols as displays of political protest, finding the gestures "intellectually bankrupt" as compared to the gestures of the past, and this seems unfair. Isn't the point of a political hand gesture that it requires no outside resources and can be performed by anyone wishing to take part in resisting authority? That it's widely recognizable by members of society, while perhaps escaping the notice of authorities? Reading from the Canadian Globe & Mail, it would seem that the junta isn't even sure of what the protesters are symbolizing when they use The Hunger Games' three-fingered salute.
While I'm no fan of The Hunger Games novels, finding fault with a mode of expression available to those under military rule seems petty and unnecessary. If The Guardian finds the Thai protesters' use of Suzanne Collins' fictional gesture, like that of Occupy's use of the Fawkes mask, to be intellectually bankrupt, their insistence is intellectual naval-gazing:
Images have meaning. The clenched fist of Marxist revolutionaries was not just a gesture. Behind it lay a history of revolution going back to 1789 and a huge body of serious political thought from The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte to the writings of Antonio Gramsci. But what does it actually mean to claim allegiance to The Hunger Games?
Whatever its literary quality, The Hunger Games enjoys widespread recognition thanks to its blockbuster success as a film, and the gesture adopted by these protesters is instantly recognizable to teens and young adults bound up in the franchise, around the world. If the writer of this article thinks the Thai protesters are "claim[ing] allegiance" to the franchise, they're either being deliberately derogatory or else unprofessionally obtuse. With limited resources and few opportunities for group gatherings, what better way to get a message out about how the protesters feel their rights are being trampled on than to use a pop-culture gesture that's loaded with weight and meaning?
The hand-gesture symbols of the 20th century were just as manufactured and have gained widespread respect over time. From Wikipedia, regarding the "V-for-victory" sign that gained popularity during WWII:
On January 14, 1941, Victor de Laveleye, former Belgian Minister of Justice and director of the Belgian French-speaking broadcasts on the BBC (1940–1944), suggested in a broadcast that Belgians use a V for victoire (French: "victory") and vrijheid (Dutch: "freedom") as a rallying emblem during World War II. In the BBC broadcast, de Laveleye said that "the occupier, by seeing this sign, always the same, infinitely repeated, [would] understand that he is surrounded, encircled by an immense crowd of citizens eagerly awaiting his first moment of weakness, watching for his first failure." Within weeks chalked up Vs began appearing on walls throughout Belgium, the Netherlands, and northern France.[24]
Buoyed by this success, the BBC started the "V for Victory" campaign, for which they put in charge the assistant news editor Douglas Ritchie posing as "Colonel Britton". Ritchie suggested an audible V using its Morse code rhythm (three dots and a dash). As the rousing opening bars of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony had the same rhythm, the BBC used this as its call-sign in its foreign language programmes to occupied Europe for the rest of the war. The more musically educated also understood that it was the Fate motif "knocking on the door" of the Third Reich. ( Listen to this call-sign. (help·info)).[24][25] The BBC also encouraged the use of the V gesture introduced by de Laveleye.[26]
Using pop culture, art and the will of the people to manufacture ways to express dissatisfaction with political leadership is a technique that's been used through the ages, around the world.
By criticizing Thai protesters for using the methods of protest readily available to them and insisting they adopt an intellectually-sanctioned (Western) gesture of political protest instead, the Guardian article only demonstrates its own ethnocentrism and ivory-tower intellectualism, showing its own irrelevance when it comes to commenting on the right of oppressed people to choose their own method of showing dissatisfaction with their ruling over-class.

they teach people different down in texasFrom ThinkProgress, let this be an example of what I was screeding about as far as public education functioning as a tool and dye that turns young minds into uniformly-shaped widgets -- Texas State Board of Education has decided to rewrite history in situ:
The Texas State Board of Education review committee is preparing to vote on a draft of proposed standards for history textbooks. Noting that the draft has "nothing about liberals," the Houston Chronicle reported:The first draft for proposed standards in United States History Studies Since Reconstruction says students should be expected "to identify significant conservative advocacy organizations and individuals, such as Newt Gingrich, Phyllis Schlafly and the Moral Majority." [...] Others have proposed adding talk show host Rush Limbaugh and the National Rifle Association.
Venal assholes, and fingers are crossed that it won't work, but if it does how can you reasonably expect someone raised in Texas not to assume as fact that the Moral Majority was a patriotic and wise force for all that is good and right in America?
And fighting fire with fire could be an appropriate response, but frankly it's a game I don't want to play. I know that history is intrinsically subjective (visiting an East German WWII museum taught me that pretty fast), but I wouldn't want to stress progressives and ignore conservatives as some kind of sick sport. It just doesn't seem fair. And further, I have no desire to indoctrinate anyone -- give them the facts and let them make up their own minds.
Ultimately I am naive and do not understand why a grown-up with any concern about education would entertain such a thing but for cynical "profit" or "victory". If you don't believe that there is a culture war going on but what you'd call "the other side" does, then at what point are you forced to fight a culture war?
Also, have a good weekend? urgh.

abe sauer on zero-sum gamesAnother excellent piece of reportage from Abe Sauer in The Awl concerning our Heartland and those people who are free to attend healthcare reform events on workday afternoons. Though there is a bit more seepage of cynicism in this one:
This whole "debate" [yeah, that one] proves we're a nation of suckers and rubes, teetering, one Nigerian email or Willie Horton ad away from economic and moral bankruptcy. Yes, corporate interests are to blame; but so are we. All of us.
To which I say, "Huzzah!" A pox on all the damn houses including the one whose roof is right up there over my head. Even to stretch Sauer's point (outcome of health care reform is predetermined and loud debate is just a buncha sound and fury) a bit sideways, "corporate interests" is actually just a small greedy subset of humanity, and at a certain point, no matter how you protest or what you read and write and how much you are not the Man, you gotta fess up and realize that the subset is indistinguishable from your own little subset, in the eyes of a god or a dog. I'm not giving up and will still fervently believe in what I believe in, but it is very depressing and meaningless and frequently hopeless, to live in this age of unapologetic oligarchy and the feedback loop that is the well-intentioned.
Of course, if corporations have actually reached sentience, then I take that all back. (And who says they haven't?)

a post about hewlett-packard?Further to this story of Hewlett-Packard's gloomy forecast based on decreasing demand for printer ink cartridges:
First, really? Softness in the ink cartridge market could bring down HP? That'd be kind of terrible, I guess, but also kind of interesting, in a don't-that-take-all sense.
But overall (and this is a point not made in the source article), is maybe the fact that HP has stood astride the printer-ink market like a cross between the Colossus of Rhodes and a loan shark not affected demand? Dunno if this is a universal consumer response, but every time I've had to pick up more ink I've felt like I'm knowingly walking into a dark alley to meet some large gentlemen who mean me harm. Just the fact that ink costs exceed the cost of a printer in the time that it takes to grow a full beard should be a big tip-off.
Maybe this will be a learning moment for retail: corner a market with luxury prices and shoppers will start treating the product like it's a luxury.

ray lahoodI'm not sure what this is apropos of (aha! nothing!), but I while I was whipping up some awesome white chili for the wife and dog last night I had NPR on the headphones and caught a longish interview with the Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, and he was a total pip. He was engaged and sharp, and came off as committed to transportation as Mike and Mike in the Morning are committed to football. He hit all the points that prick up my ears -- system-wide overhaul and repair of Interstate system, high-speed rail, intra-city light rail, rural mass transit and increased fuel efficiency. He even took some calls. Granted, these were NPR callers, but he did field a question about egregious gasoline tax with an explanation that said tax exclusively funds the Interstates, which are pretty awesome if you've ever driven halfway across the country without bothering to look at a map.
And Secretary LaHood is formerly a Republican representative from the state of Illinois, which you never would have guessed because he did not have that don't-piss-off-the-boss air of tentativeness that even party loyalists get when tapped as Secretary.
So good morning to you, and keep kicking the good ass, Secretary LaHood.

socialismusI forget which professor it was -- it must've been one of the Lefties -- but this one dude explained (in a sort of unrelated context -- philosophy 101?) that American public education was as much an economic ploy as it was a social boon. A hundred and something years ago, when education was de-centralized and a function of either home or community, youth would grow up to form a workforce with no through-line, no unifying characteristic. And as industrialization progressed, industry needed employees whose skills were primarily showing up on time and doing what one is told. Enter public education, with its soft propaganda and its bells and late slips. Think of them, the professor said, not as halls of education but as drone factories.
I don't entirely buy into that -- it seems a bit reductive -- but then again it's not that preposterous at all.
I'm reminded of this perspective by a snippet from a Town Hall I heard on NPR, held by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), in which an older gentleman reacted to the senator's opinion that a high-risk pool might reform he could support with a near-blubbering, "But that's socialized medicine!"
Yeah, well, so is Medicare, whatever. And a big fucking whatever, because, thinking about the indoctrinating qualities of a good old fashioned American education, there is as much of a chance that this older gentleman will cease seeing socialized medicine as something un-American as there is that he will join the Communist Party. Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris and the ghost of Ronald Reagan could all visit each such older gentleman and personally vouch for socialized medicine, and the older gentleman will still think of socialized medicine as something that is against God's Own Constitution. Twelve years of teaching pounded that into their heads.
This revelation is not so much of a wringing of the hands for me. I'm still ungenerously inclined towards the stupid, but on the other hand, I had my own personal public education, and if I only believed everything that was taught from textbooks, I'd probably see socialism as one of the things our boys fought and died over in the Big One too.
Thinking about the heavy lifting required to get anything resembling "for the common good" done is enervating.

nyt: what actually happens when it's time to dieSo many of you are not fans of the New York Times, be it for their ideological orientation, their licking of the boots of power, their typos -- ultimately we should thank the NYT for bringing so many different people together.
But as one who is a fan of the NYT (and believe me, I don't see this as a binary choice), I give enormous credit to the paper for this ginormous feature that is so depressing that you will not read it even if you want to. It's about palliative care, and if you don't know yet that palliative care is the care that a terminal patient is given, you're lucky. But this is why everybody should read it:
Palliative care has become a recognized subspecialty, with fellowships, hospital departments and medical school courses aimed at managing patients' last months. It has also become a focus of attacks on plans to overhaul the nation's medical system, with false but persistent rumors that the government will set up "death panels" to decide who deserves treatment. Many physicians dismiss these complaints as an absurd caricature of what palliative medicine is all about.
And then the next couple thousand words describe what palliative care is actually all about. Sadly, most of you are the choir, but it's still some good wrenching stuff. Even more sadly is that it's too long by a factor of ten to change the minds of the average American hiding under the bed because of the Death Panels.
Overall: "Show don't tell" still works.

91 was a long time agoSo yeah I got the headphones plugged into the work computer and the browser pointed at some Internet radio station playing the "music of the 90s" and I am lapping that shit up like it was money.
And before I go off on yet another block of "I'm old" verbiage, dig this -- a list of truths concerning the incoming college class of 2013 (who would've been born in '91 or whereabouts), including the following:
10. Rap music has always been main stream.
17. They have never had to "shake down" an oral thermometer.
73. Nobody has ever responded to "Help, I've fallen and I can't get up."
See? You're old too.

good morning 8.19.09There are many Things The Internet Are Good For -- they are known mostly in hindsight or by neologists who get published in the New Yorker. But one Thing The Internet Is Good For that I know is this: accountability to the randoms who most deserve it.
It's a self-correction to the size of the soapbox the Internet gives, well, everyone. Someone non-famous does something heinous in public, something that a generation ago would not be reported on and therefor pass unmentioned to the public at large. But now, with the Internet, the offending behavior is not only noticed but popularized as novelty-starved content-providers all latch on, and the links are passed around by novelty-starved end-users. And then someone enterprising actually digs up all available information on the offender -- past associations, criminal record, unwise commenting -- and then all of a sudden it's, "Hey, asshole, the whole world is watching."
The perfect example, and what brought this to mind, is Pamela Pilger, who will become today the "Heil Hitler Lady". And deservedly so. Maybe the next time someone wants to taunt a Jew at a political event with, "Heil Hitler!" they'll think of Pamela Pilger and refrain.
It's the converse of Warhol's Fifteen Minutes of Fame (which, by the way, is now over forty years old).
Good morning, and may you never see the business end of this mechanism.

more on the armedHmm. I can't pull myself away from the armed-protesters story. It is fundamentally beyond the pale, and the undercurrent of "concerned citizens exercising their Second Amendment Rights" is a bit infuriating.
It isn't illegal, purely on paper, for these folk to carry guns, but then neither is standing outside a political function with a baseball bat in one hand that you slowly, rhythmically slap into the other hand. For that matter, neither is cracking your knuckles and leering. It's cutesy fun and games for the armed to claim that they're not doing nuthin' wrong, and even worse it's of the "they think they're so smart" variety of cutesy.
Josh Marshall spells out the actual history of right-wing violence and intimidation in American politics. It ain't pretty, and you're probably familiar with it (i.e., civil rights activists didn't exactly lynch any southern sheriffs). If you're not, give it a read. But the salient paragraph is this:
Now, I know we'll likely get emails from right-wingers pointing out some animal rights activists who freed a bunch of gerbils, another fellow whose tires got slashed and no doubt a host of people with backwards Bs scrawled on their cheeks. But I think we all know the story here.
Equivalency is an easy trap to get caught into (at least if you write for a living), but it is a fact that skull-cracking is perpetrated by exactly one side of the great American Left vs. Right dispute, and it isn't the Left. And the willingness of the deranged to display arms (over health care) is a bad moon rising.

favre steals novak's thunderI like to think it happened like this.
Brett Favre, retired and happy, sits in his living room after a light breakfast of grapefruit and a soft-boiled egg. He fires up the flatscreen, and as he changes channels to "The View" he notices a CNN update that Robert Novak has passed away.
"Now wait one minute," Brett thinks to himself, "Bob Novak was as dirty as they come. He'd give up a source with one hand and promulgate the party line with the other, all while protecting his access to the corridors of power. And now there's gonna be all kinds of people saying this nice thing or that nice thing about him just 'cause he died."
Brett opens a can of Diet Sprite. "There's got to be some way, some simple way, to push Novak out of the headlines."
He stares at "The View" without even seeing it, and takes a pull of Diet Sprite. "There must be some way -- I feel like it's starin' right at me."
Brett had an idea. "Maybe -- just maybe -- that'll work."

my guy lost an election once, and i totally didn't arm myselfFurther to news of more weapons at Obama town halls, how heartening is it that, each time we cross some line in the sand beyond which political events are purely absurb, a new line appears just over yonder. Of all of the issues for the right wing to mobilize over, the issue that inspires them so is the possibility of health insurers losing a bit of their market share. And by "so inspire" I mean tote around loaded firearms in public like they were binkies.
Imagine yourself reading some dystopian novel about an evil encroaching despotic government and the brave citizenry that rises up -- the ominous intro of this novel is totally filled with scenes of taciturn weapon-bearers amassing around public sites, like silent watchmen, defending liberty against a creeping enemy.
It's just like that right now, except for "silent watchmen" you have "delusional idiots", and for "creeping enemy" you have "the guy they didn't vote for"
The despotism they imagine they are witnessing is nothing but a shadow thrown by their desperate need for heroic wish-fulfillment. Which means more and more guns (stretched to the logical conclusion) now that that horse is out of the barn.
But on the good side: "Red Dawn" is being remade!

splcenter's triptych of places to avoidMaybe you like me are fatigued by the endless stories concerning the bright new future for America's hate groups and how they're not your father's Oldsmobile -- I mean who has the time to learn how to read in today's go-go world of talking moving pictures? Not this guy, that's for sure. I'd love to keep myself informed on hate groups -- who wouldn't? -- but I'm busy writing "Mad Men" recaps. Hopefully I won't go to any cocktail parties anytime soon, where opportunities for social embarrassment over ignorance of hate groups abound.
Well stop right there, brother, because I have the answer and it is a righteous answer indeed. The Southern Poverty Law Center (which forgot to change its name somewhere down the line) understands the situation, and has made this map, which is "interactive" (i.e., it moves, just like a comic book does when no one's looking) and shows how our proud strong American hate groups are scattered across the map like overused commas. The hate groups even have little icons to tell you what kind of hate group each one is: a Doc Marten for racist skins, a wine glass for radical Catholics, and an asshole wearing a bedsheet (kind of obvious).
Check your own neighborhood to see what's lurking in the shadows, or just check shopping malls you visited and wonder which one of those fine American shoppers at the Limited with you has a dirty little secret.

thanks for nothing, mazdaSo yeah the weekend was supposed to be chill and productive but it was not, predicated by an episode captured in this photo, which was taken in the looming shadow of a Perkins in a town called Stroudsburg, just off the Interstate. And what is that parking lot that we spent a couple hot hours in close to? Why, neither our place of departure or our destination.
And so the wife and the dog are still out that way, waiting for vehicle to be repaired (and the subsequent walletectomy), and I hopped an east-bound bus to get to work, where the story that Tom DeLay will be a contestant on some game show that masquerades as a reality show was waiting for me. Oh sure it's chock full of zeitgeist, that one, but still, in the words of The Awl, that's when I clicked "close tab". Because somewhere an ex-governor of Alaska is slapping her forehead.
