There is no penalty for being second. Only ignominious obscurity.

OK, over in the Wall Street Urinal's Oppinion section, in the article titled, "The Europeanization of America"

A nice, well meaning person, with whom I have no umbrage, but with whose ideas one must absolutely insist on correcting -- for the sanity of all logic-minded mankind, writes that"

"Barack Obama is likely to become the next president of the United States. Six weeks ago John McCain was leading Mr. Obama. But [ed: emphasis mine] according to RealClearPolitics, as of yesterday Mr. Obama led in the national polls ..."

OK, STOP. Just stop with the G*d Damned references to the "Real Clear Politics" aka RCP polls -- especially the "RCP National Average" numbers.

The RCP average is mathematically meaningless. It is a morass of meaningless data that people everywhere appear to be accepting as meaningful -- to the determent of all.

For any given individual "poll" result mentioned by RCP, one can say that one can take a measure of the amount of bias in the poll; e.g., establish a degree to which sample selection bias and push-polling play a role; then one can make rational decisions based upon focusing on that poll.

However, when one takes a group of poll results, without their similar associated measurements of individual poll-bias, and just throws the numbers together in an average, then since the information about the bias is absent -- information without which the poll results have no meaning -- THE AVERAGE HAS NO MEANING.

Anyone who tries to sell you on the validity of meta-poll results, like (but not necessarily limited to) results like the RCP National Average, are intellectual dog poop mongers.

Now, some of those people are well-meaning intellectual dog poop mongers, and you and I can certainly forgive them -- but a correction must occur.

So, let's please take our heritage of logic and intellectual development a little more seriously, seriously.

and forget it if you are third in line. At least there's still a fresh thread smell.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

Understand this, barry. Our rights do not come from the government. The government's rights come from us.

Charles,

I want to point your attention to an ugly fact: Obama's official site now has a section explicitly targeting kids age 12 and under, urging them to persuade their parents and grandparents to vote for him. The same age group is protected by regulations even when it comes to marketing of products like candies and cereal. The site also offers a "kit" for people who want to orgnanize Obama events for kids. Here're a few quotes to give you feel of it:

For the first time in campaign history, children ages 12 and under, have a place to go and actually vote—through their voice. What a great way to be introduced to politics and to express your support for Senator Obama.

Implement T-Shirt Thursday. Get friends to wear an official Obama for America T-Shirt to school. Take an adult (voting age) to the polls on Election Day and encourage them to vote for you, by voting for Senator Obama.

...your grandma and grandpa love you and have faith in you.
That is your weapon! “Precious” needs to get on the phone and say, “Grandpa, Grandma, I am asking you to vote for Barack Obama. This is really important to me. It’s about my future. It’s about the world I will be living in. It’s about the world I want for my future children. (They will love that one!) Please! Do it for me!”

I've written a post that walks through the site; feel free to use it the way you see fit. It'd be great if you could highlight this issue on LGF. I think some parents can still change their opinion of Obama once they hear this.

Hi, y'all!

Here's what I wrote to Barbara West and WFTV on the Joe Blatherin interview:

Ms. West,

I am not a resident of your fair city, nor even of your state, and therefore am not privy to daily access to your local station.

But I did, however, view your excellent interview of Joe Biden. As a third generation newspaper brat (The Commercial Appeal in Memphis), I want to tell you how you have lifted my spirits considerably . You have shown that honest journalism is not dead. You have displayed an enviable abundance of gumption and professionalism in the conduct and content of the challenging questions you proposed to Mr. Biden. I commend you, and it is not without great pride of heart and soul that I join my father and my grandfather and all who’ve gone before them in praising you for an unprecedented (in the current timbre) job well done!

Stand tall. You have acquired a vast audience! And we are not backing down.

Most sincerely,
Lee Alley P_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

^{_{/click. powering down now.}}

re: #101 Gus 802

That's really out there to tell kids to encourage their parents to vote for Ohmbama.

A major research institution (MRI) has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest chemical element yet known to science. The new element has been tentatively named Governmentium. Governmentium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of governmentium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would normally take less than a second. Governmentium has a normal half-life of three years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause some morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to speculate that governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass.

Another point: Americans whose forefathers FOUGHT or DIED for the Union and for abolition of slavery WOULD CONSIDER THEMSELVES EXEMPT from double indemnity!

'Reparations'... a very bad idea

re: #153 Gus 802

So if the mass and/or energy of Govenmentium reaches a critical point what happens? Atomic? Hydrogen? A black hole?

/Oops I used the "B" phrase. Here comes the PC police!

Don't laugh, some one got in trouble for using that phrase. And yes the charge was racism.

/can't remember when but it was a few months ago.

If, after the dust settles for the coming storm, we ever end up adopting the system Heinlein described in STARSHIP TROOPERS we should make certain taht not only the police have to qualify as citizens (I would use the title "elector") but the teachers in all schools, private and public, was well.

Just a thought.

I remember in San Francisco all of the bike messengers thought they were writers, actors, and artists. They had a habit of reminding everyone they met. They were wrong actually because they were bike messengers.

Is there really ever any good ideas that come from Government?

This latest Obama audio clip is a bombshell.

I hope it goes viral and then nuclear.

re: #171 BlueCanuck

I remember that. Was it a city council meeting? Could easily google it.

re: #164 buzzsawmonkey

Do you remember a few years ago some Einstein(s) in Egypt decided they'd like to sue Israel for "gold that was stolen" during the Exodus? Israel shot back threatening to sue for reparations for slavery?

I love that story... ;-)

That was back in early July, at a Dallas County (Texas) commision meeting. Michelle Malkin still has details about it, including a video.

Reality has been repealed in San Francisco.

re: #183 buzzsawmonkey

MAN! You can pun this early?!

/I'm impress! :-)

re: #185 The Other Les

Reality has been repealed in San Francisco.

Reality was never enacted there in the first place.

In San Francisco, reality is just a crutch for those who can't handle drugs.

Wait - "repealed" implies that reality was, at some point, in San Francisco. I was previously unaware of this.

Yes, I remember this!

Israeli lawyers responded that Egypt should take out money for the "stolen gold" from the back wages of hundreds of years of Hebrew forced labor and send the change to Israel!

re: #183 buzzsawmonkey

Guess the Egyptians never heard of Pharaoh Use.

What about the Egyptian Army officers that installed plumbing in the pyramids?

They were the Pharaoh Faucet Majors.

Maybe she's just in De Nile.

Here's the thing about "reparations."

See, yes we're a nation of immigrants. My Great-Grandma came over from Finland in 1908. She married an Aleut who was never educated past 7th grade because it wasn't worth it to educate a "stupid indian"

I'll leave that as stated. But Damned if I'm gonna feel some collective guilt about stuff that's effed up and that I have nothing to do with, yet BObama was only 8 years old yet still associates with unrepentant terrorists/communists.

No problem - we'll simply bully banks into requiring "affordable loans" for all these things, every if you're not traditionally creditworthy. After all, what could happen?

A good pun is its own reword!

Besides, I'm not that good with puns. I once sent in 10 different puns into a "best pun" contest, hoping at least one of them would win a prize. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

re: #215 gmsc

Yep, cradle to grave. And if they can't get it blame it on a personal characteristic or something like an external political or social force.

If that doesn't work they and they can afford it they go Jungian.

All my ancestors who immigrated to America did so in the great Jewish wave of immigrants at the beginning of the 20th Century.

Well, maybe I can reparations from Russia, Poland and Lithuania to be sent to Obama's administration and they can take out U.S. slavery reparations and then send me the change.
