So what kind of timeline did Chris Matthews give because he could be right if you extend that out far enough. There’s plenty of room in Central Park to bury the wreckers and saboteurs, well most of them anyway.
I enjoyed that clip of Mathews laying it down about socialism at the debate – but that is absolutely not the role of a debate moderator. It was revealing of how the media views themselves, and how the DNC views the media and their debates.
Wake up you hungover degenerates!
No.

“Pete’s no Barack Obama. He likes to be on top every once in a while. Barack never did that!”
Seriously, are Americans really looking for experience? Doesn’t seem that way given Obama and Trump won.
Looking at Buttgieg and his husband I would guess that Pete is the consistent top.

AOC mixes up two ‘very different’ economists in Instagram post about 4-day workweek
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/aoc-mixes-up-two-very-different-economists-during-4-day-workweek-discussion-on-instagram
Milton Keynes?
Jane, you ignorant slut…
Milton Keynes
Oh dear Lord. My sides. I suppose this isn’t necessarily that funny to people previously unaware of Milton Keynes (a place made up almost entirely of roundabouts*).
*”traffic circles” if you didn’t pass third grade.
I know it’s a planned city and as such has some connotations within British culture, but as an American I don’t quite get those.
I like to call them ‘low speed collision magnets because half the people in them at any given time are too dense to figure out which lane they’re supposed to be in circles’.
Well, while there are of course errant car pilots everywhere, this probably is a bigger problem in the US where roundabouts are less common, generally speaking, as I understand it.
They’re becoming more common in the midwest, but still rare enough to mentally pollaxe a lot of people when they spring up unexpectedly.
We have them popping up all over the place here in N. Utah. I like how they keep traffic moving. That is until some idiot yields inside the roundabout. Also, people not staying in their lanes is a problem.
Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman had some choice remarks about Milton Keynes.
Meh, understandable slip up.
For someone with a college degree in economics?
Yep, mixing up similar names isn’t that uncommon of a slip of the tongue/post.
Exactly what Adolph Stalin would say.
He said it in Brave New World too, didn’t he.
No, I think it was in The Doors of Inception.
I think that was Aldous F. Buckley
Yeah, I don’t read anything into these slip-ups. Even I have been known to misspeak on occasion. Even Obama’s famous 57 states I am perfectly willing to chalk up to exhaustion from campaigning.
A good natured chuckle is a bout all they rate, IMO.
The reason why many people have fun with this is that if a Republican said something like this AOC and her fellow travelers in the Democratic party and the MSM would be publicizing this to the hilt saying this proves how dumb the Republican (and the Republican party) is.
Well, somebody with a degree in economics and her demonstrated understanding of the subject, sure.
Damn it I am forced to agree with Hyp and defend AOC in the same post. Everyone has slips of the tongue and this gotcha game that jumped in popularity when they gotcha’d Quayle so successfully is silly.
There is only one thing to say about this, covfefe.
Now quit calling Alfredo sauce with bacon ‘carbonara’.

I actually enjoyed sardines in chili sauce when camping. Not only were they a great source of protein, they drew the bears in.
Was STEVE SMITH also drawn in?
I eat tuna packs every single work day for lunch. Some great flavor packs – they just added some new Korean spices, ginger and other flavors. I take a multivitamin daily either way.
Some years ago, I noticed a lot of canned fish, fish oil capsules, and related products, would advertise as high in omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, but then I seem to recall some scienticious scare pieces in the press about omega 6 and cancer. Perhaps I’m mistaken but I had the impression that product labeling started to omit any obvious reference to the omega 6 and just played up the omega 3 instead. Was that a thing in the USA? Did it even happen here? I’m pretty sure that’s all blown over now and it’s back to 3 + 6.
I think if you skip the processed vegetable oils, your Omega 3 and 6 balance should be fine. It’s a diet heavy in 6 and light in 3 that can be a problem.
What say you?
Yes, please.
I just had some for breakfast. Delicious!

The phrase ‘Congress shall make no law’ gets more ambiguous by the day, it seems.
It’s totes cool as long as it’s done through an intermediary…I guess…
I suppose one could go total pedant and portend that congress didn’t “make” a law, they wrote up a bill and sent it to the chief executive for his approval. It didn’t become law until he signed it so you could say they didn’t “make” it. And I’m sure these disingenuous fux would be happy to go along with that logic.
Absolutely. Add in Cruz and company miss the benefit of letting the Iranian regime speak. I want to hear what they say. It almost always confirms how evil and dishonest they are.

But the chaos of caucus night in Iowa has reminded us again of the country’s democratic decay. Even the mechanics of democracy no longer seem to work any more, a problem highlighted in the disputed 2000 election that has not yet been fixed.

“I was just reading today about how in 1930, famed economist Milton Keynes predicted that by 2030 GDP and technology would have advanced so much that it would allow everyday people to work as little as FIFTEEN HOURS a week and provide for their families,” Ocasio-Cortez said while discussing the benefits of a four-day workweek with her Instagram followers.
That wasn’t Milton Keynes, it was H G Wells.
Why is it assumed that working the fewest hours is a good thing and man’s desired state? I’d go freaking nuts.

“Democrats demand Facebook and Twitter won’t take down video posted by Donald Trump that was edited to show Nancy Pelosi repeatedly ripping up State of The Union speech to disrespect heroes
Democrats are furious with Facebook and Twitter for refusing to remove a doctored video posted by President Trump showing Nancy Pelosi ripping up his speech while a black World War Two veteran was being honored by Congress.
The president on Thursday posted a video to his tens of millions of followers on social media splicing in footage of the House speaker tearing up his State of the Union speech on Tuesday.
The altered video, titled ‘Powerful American stories ripped to shreds by Nancy Pelosi,’ makes it appear as though Pelosi tore up the speech just as the president was introducing Charles McGee.”

No idea. Say they didn’t, okay the Dems are worse than the R’s by some degree. I still don’t get the constant ‘hypocrisy’ change, of course their side was okay with what their side did, and vice versa. It’s like listening to people argue about pass interference calls, yes your team gets screwed, wah wah wah.
I don’t have any issue with Pelosi being pissed and complaining. Why wouldn’t she?
The line gets drawn at demanding takedowns from the platforms. It’s too close to what Warren wants, which is a national arbiter of what should be free speech and what shouldn’t.
If she considers it defamation, she can sue the producers of the content.
Basically this. Both parties use symbolism in advertisements. Both parties are (or at least claim to be) offended by the symbolism members of the other party choose to use. So far, only one party is demanding that the media censor itself to their party’s benefit.
That’s a fair point, just one that (in my opinion) is made better without the finger-pointing/tu quoque/whataboutism/whatever you call it stuff.

That BBC article was a perfect encapsulation of what is wrong with the media. Even when they try to write a straight news story, they can’t help but spin, spin, spin.
They complain about partisanship in the Impeachment, but start with Mitch McConnell’s “parlimentarianism” preventing witnesses and the house democrats merely seeking to avoid a lengthy court battle.
Come on, guys… the freaking democrats used the FBI, CIA, DOJ and IRS to attack the presidential candidate, president elect and president… then they attempted to use a bunch of faked-up charges about Russia to impeach the president. And when that didn’t work, did they stop? No, they continued impeachment investigations until they found a stooge inside the administration that they could use to pretend that they had found some terrible smoking gun.
Complaining that the republicans didn’t go along with their partisan efforts to abuse the powers of government is really disingenuous.

LA=Learning Assistant, which is a position that works a lot like a teaching assistant except they rarely do any grading and spend most of their time as a sort of supplemental tutor. It doesn’t say which course, but it could well be some “physics for poets” variant, which doesn’t require a great deal of actual physics. For instance, the PHYS 1310 course description says in part: “A non-mathematical survey of mechanics, properties of matter, heat and sound. These topics are described in a conceptual way with applications relating to the world around us.” I don’t think they are going to be building bridges any time soon.
Most likely the graduate programs she is applying to are in science education rather than physics proper, because I know lots of physics programs and I cannot think of a single one that would be impressed by this sort of research. Sometimes this kind of study can be useful at the margins in identifying factors (not related to ability and which can be fixed) that discourage minorities from pursuing science careers, but most times the study design is so corrupted by ideology that it isn’t useful.
This student will easily get some sort of prestigious fellowship at some graduate school of education, but I would be very surprised if she gets admitted into any any actual science grad programs based on the kind of record presented here. She may not even be a physics major.
So in layman’s terms she’s a bullshit artist who’ll get paid to wax philosophical, got it.
Indelible stain on the Presidency
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) lambasted President Trump over his ousting of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, calling it a “brazen act of retaliation.”

“History will remember Lieutenant Colonel Vindman as an American hero,” she added.
Some day he will be immortalized on the Mall.

Dispatch from the “Fools and Their Money” desk
A 21,750-mile 1971 Datsun 240Z Series I sold for $310,000 today on Bring a Trailer, establishing a new highwater mark for the beloved Japanese sports car.
The sale easily eclipsed the previous record of $124,240 paid for a 33,000-mile Franklin Mint 1970 Datsun 240Z, also sold on Bring a Trailer (BaT) in June 2019. Wednesday’s sale was five times the average value of a 1971 240Z in #1 (Concours) condition: $61,900.
“Buyers continue to pay top dollar for low-mile, impressively original, top-condition cars,” says Brian Rabold, Hagerty vice president of valuation services, “and this Z qualified on all accounts.”
Hagerty valuation information analyst James Hewitt wholeheartedly agrees. “It’s the most original Datsun 240Z in existence.”
I’d rather have the one the Mighty Car Mods guys built.
Sure, and I’d rather have an old Aston. That’s the beauty of it, Brooksie. Everyone’s got different tastes. Good for the seller and good for the buyer.
Buddy of mine bought a 70’s something 240Z his first year at University. He paid for it with his student loan. Those were the days. His first summer home we road tripped that baby to CA.
“Somebody’s gonna get the nomination.”
That is some incisive analysis, Chuck.

Ya’ll can have all of the big butts, and I’ll take #22.
He’s more about big fronts. 8 looks fun, but I’ll take 9.
I’ll take top heavy over big back porch any day of the week; but I gotta mix it up for my audience every once in a while.
Thanks, but I like thin. 30 wins.
Everyone’s got different tastes. Good for the seller and good for the buyer.
I’m not saying it’s wrong.
Some people’s tastes (and willingness to throw money at them) are more surprising to me than others’.
Sanders versus Trump will be interesting. Rather than spin it as wealth creating Capitalism vs poverty creating Socialism, it will be greedy Boomers vs compassionate Millenials. Never mind it’s the Bernie Bros who just want free stuff paid for with OP money. That’s not selfish at all.
Bernie would be absolute poison to the Suburban soccer mom contingent. Keep an eye out for the DNC to start pulling some truly Soviet shit to sink Grandpa Gulag. It’s ironic really; he’s gonna be brought down by electoral tactics he has revered most of his life.
I’m looking forward to the mercy killing of the Biden campaign. I wonder how they’ll do it – suddenly “discover” all the corruption his family has committed? Abruptly highlight his obvious senility? Get Obama to publicly shiv him?
The Bernie Bro handlers (public sector unions) have more to gain than the Millennial Bros. Sadly, no politician is brave enough to touch the Boomers or their free crap bonanza.

$300k for a car you’ll never drive? Fuck that.
I’d respect him if he filmed himself doing donuts in it and put it on youtube.
Like buying guns and never shooting them. I don’t get it. Old sports cars are fun to look at, sure, but they are meant to be experienced.
Cyberpunk 2077 release date got pushed back AGAIN.
FUCK
Fifty-seven years does seem absurd.
Never mind it’s the Bernie Bros who just want free stuff paid for with OP money. That’s not selfish at all.
What could be more generous than robbing Peter to pay off Paul’s college loans? And subsidize his artsy loft in East L A?
Her body, her choice… unless she chooses to use it for profit.

Back in my day we took it to the streets, performed sit-ins and bombed government buildings, while these clams whine online anonymously.

Yikes.
He opted out of that sweet, sweet Canadian health care ?
I wonder if his family figured out how to give bribes to all doctors and nurses in a Russian hospital.

Professor Allan J. Lichtman published his book, Repeal the Second Amendment: The Case for a Safer America, in January. It focuses on the perceived need to abolish the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Lichtman’s book acknowledges gun violence in America and asserts that “the real problem is that which gun control advocates fear to name: the Second Amendment.”
In an excerpt of the book published by MSNBC, the professor writes, “Repeal of the Second Amendment is not only right, but realistic.” He argues that the gun control movement would have an easier path were the Second Amendment repealed.
***
Were you up all night thinking up that one, per-fess-er?
***
Lichtman has been named a Distinguished Professor of History by American University and has published other books, including The Case for Impeachment in 2017, which laid out Lichtman’s various arguments for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
He was also a consultant for Sen. Ted Kennedy and presidential candidate Al Gore.

Well knock me over with a feather.
“All right! Crime spree!“
Tenure isn’t even enshrined in the constitution.
At least a gun-grabber is acknowledging that 2A means citizens have a right to own/use firearms.
“Repeal of the Second Amendment is not only right, but realistic.”
I contend that it is not. Even if you somehow got a repeal by going through the constitutional process the change would be, well, contested to say the least. Someone has not considered the current paradigm where there are more guns in private hands than there are private hands.
They’re going to get 39 states to go along with repeal. Totally realistic.
For you (us), restomod fans.
Too bad it’s not a station wagon.
Cool. I’ll bet it scoots.
I figured you would be all over this one.
“I’ll bet it scoots.”

As Ricky Ly says, “This is America. This is the richest nation in the world, and the system is rigged, you know, and no matter how hard some people will work, it’s not enough. Why do people go hungry when Jeff Bezos is making billions of dollars?”

The honesty is kind of refreshing.
Interestingly enough, there are billionaires (eg Phạm Nhật Vượng) in Vietnam too. Whodathunkit?
“Why do people go hungry when Jeff Bezos is making billions of dollars?”
Yes comrade, it would be so much better if we were all equally hungry and poor!

listening to Elizabeth Warren makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.
She fills me with dread.
It is terrifying. People who just want to get rich and famous are far less scary than True Believers (TM).
That trembly “concern” voice drives me nuts.
She really has perfected the concerned school marm schtick.

It’s fun to imagine her talking like Mom from Futurama when the cameras are off.

I always did that with Hillary.
Aren’t you proud that she’s from your home state, Hayek? ?
Ugh, she would know if she were a GD injun. She would have tribal plates and know about the Dawes Rolls.
Pork chops and veggies done in the skillet, beer biscuit batter ready for the oven when the kids wake up. Our last morning with them. I will miss them.
I was thinking about the Holmes story “Scandal in Bohemia” and wondering what I would grab from the house if it were on fire.
I settled on my 3 ring binder of recipes collected, curated, hand written, and annotated over decades. I should scan that sucker so that it’s never lost to the ages. I have won a few good men with those kitchen ninja skills.
“I should scan that sucker so that it’s never lost to the ages.”
Yes you should.
Hayek, with that Avatar, you look very much like my Wife, it freaks me out,
It also means you are both Gorgeous,

TY
And then you should put it online like I did!

Health issues, and a long, much needed rest. We all thank him for his selfless dedication to the betterment of the American people.

So in a fit of nostalgia, I decided to bring back an old tradition. Sunday morning with some good coffee, a danish from a local bakery, some jazz and a copy of the New York Times. This must have been my Sunday ritual for over a decade. I stopped getting the Times about ten years ago.
The paper is unreadable now. There’s not a single article that doesn’t find a way to shoehorn Trump into it. Nonsense about the “problems” of writing fiction in the midst of global climate catastrophe. The evil Trump money machine. The wailing and gnashing of teeth over the dumb voters in meaningless flyover states. How hard it is to be a woman of color in hollywood.
Then the coverage of the news itself. It’s like reading dispatches from a bizarre alternative reality.
At least the crossword puzzle is still good.
I came from a family of journalists. We used to have four or five newspapers in our house every day. I did some time in J school, of the old school variety. I know newspaper writing.
The level of editorializing in every single god damned article would never have been allowed thirty years ago. Yeah, the media always leaned left, but there was a clear delineation between reporting facts and standing on a soap box.
Some Arts articles? Recipes? (Same as with the Grauniad.)
At least the crossword puzzle is still good. — Will Shortz is a blight on humanity, and an embarrassment to the international ping-pong community.
Interesting perspective. I’d to subscribe to your newsletter. Er, follow your twitter I guess.
A follow up on my post from last night: “Max” from Warren for President responded back to me trying to garner sympathy for trying to “connect with voters to talk about this important election.” Screw him for tomahawking Fauxcahantas.
