Utah: Online Porn Capital of America?
One key finding: The biggest consumers of online adult entertainment live in the great state of Utah. An average of 5.47 people per 1000 broadband subscribers pay for porn in Orrin Hatch's home state. (Utah also leads in porn consumption among the general population and dial-up users, in case you're wondering.)

Deception at Core of Obama Plans
WASHINGTON -- Forget the pork. Forget the waste. Forget the 8,570 earmarks in a bill supported by a president who poses as the scourge of earmarks. Forget the "$2 trillion dollars in savings" that "we have already identified," $1.6 trillion of which President Obama's budget director later admits is the "savings" of not continuing the surge in Iraq until 2019 -- 11 years after George Bush ended it, and eight years after even Bush would have had us out of Iraq completely.Forget all of this. This is run-of-the-mill budget trickery. True, Obama's tricks come festooned with strings of zeros tacked onto the end. But that's a matter of scale, not principle.
All presidents do that. But few undertake the kind of brazen deception at the heart of Obama's radically transformative economic plan, a rhetorical sleight of hand so smoothly offered that few noticed.
The logic of Obama's address to Congress went like this:
"Our economy did not fall into decline overnight," he averred. Indeed, it all began before the housing crisis. What did we do wrong? We are paying for past sins in three principal areas: energy, health care, and education -- importing too much oil and not finding new sources of energy (as in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Outer Continental Shelf?), not reforming health care, and tolerating too many bad schools.
The "day of reckoning" has now arrived. And because "it is only by understanding how we arrived at this moment that we'll be able to lift ourselves out of this predicament," Obama has come to redeem us with his far-seeing program of universal, heavily nationalized health care; a cap-and-trade tax on energy; and a major federalization of education with universal access to college as the goal.
Amazing. As an explanation of our current economic difficulties, this is total fantasy. As a cure for rapidly growing joblessness, a massive destruction of wealth, a deepening worldwide recession, this is perhaps the greatest non sequitur ever foisted upon the American people. ...

...Increasing the top tax rates on earnings to 39.6% and on capital gains and dividends to 20% will reduce incentives for our most productive citizens and small businesses to work, save and invest -- with effective rates higher still because of restrictions on itemized deductions and raising the Social Security cap. As every economics student learns, high marginal rates distort economic decisions, the damage from which rises with the square of the rates (doubling the rates quadruples the harm). The president claims he is only hitting 2% of the population, but many more will at some point be in these brackets.As for energy policy, the president's cap-and-trade plan for CO2 would ensnare a vast network of covered sources, opening up countless opportunities for political manipulation, bureaucracy, or worse. It would likely exacerbate volatility in energy prices, as permit prices soar in booms and collapse in busts. The European emissions trading system has been a dismal failure. A direct, transparent carbon tax would be far better.
Moreover, the president's energy proposals radically underestimate the time frame for bringing alternatives plausibly to scale. His own Energy Department estimates we will need a lot more oil and gas in the meantime, necessitating $11 trillion in capital investment to avoid permanently higher prices.
The president proposes a large defense drawdown to pay for exploding nondefense outlays -- similar to those of Presidents Carter and Clinton -- which were widely perceived by both Republicans and Democrats as having gone too far, leaving large holes in our military. We paid a high price for those mistakes and should not repeat them.
The president's proposed limitations on the value of itemized deductions for those in the top tax brackets would clobber itemized charitable contributions, half of which are by those at the top. This change effectively increases the cost to the donor by roughly 20% (to just over 72 cents from 60 cents per dollar donated). Estimates of the responsiveness of giving to after-tax prices range from a bit above to a little below proportionate, so reductions in giving will be large and permanent, even after the recession ends and the financial markets rebound. ...
...The pervasive government subsidies and mandates -- in health, pharmaceuticals, energy and the like -- will do a poor job of picking winners and losers (ask the Japanese or Europeans) and will be difficult to unwind as recipients lobby for continuation and expansion. Expanding the scale and scope of government largess means that more and more of our best entrepreneurs, managers and workers will spend their time and talent chasing handouts subject to bureaucratic diktats, not the marketplace needs and wants of consumers.
Our competitors have lower corporate tax rates and tax only domestic earnings, yet the budget seeks to restrict deferral of taxes on overseas earnings, arguing it drives jobs overseas. But the academic research (most notably by Mihir Desai, C. Fritz Foley and James Hines Jr.) reveals the opposite: American firms' overseas investments strengthen their domestic operations and employee compensation.
New and expanded refundable tax credits would raise the fraction of taxpayers paying no income taxes to almost 50% from 38%. This is potentially the most pernicious feature of the president's budget, because it would cement a permanent voting majority with no stake in controlling the cost of general government.
From the poorly designed stimulus bill and vague new financial rescue plan, to the enormous expansion of government spending, taxes and debt somehow permanently strengthening economic growth, the assumptions underlying the president's economic program seem bereft of rigorous analysis and a careful reading of history. ...

The Straw That Broke... (a poem)
Russ Vaughn (Americanthinker.com)
A plodding camel all these years,
I strode, I served like all my peers.
Conserving what I knew I'd need,
I paid no heed to others' greed.
My thirst for excess I suppressed,
Believing so of all the rest;
Just trekking on to greener dreams,
Of green oases with clear streams.
With little warning came the cry,
Your oases died, the streams run dry.
Far too old for further treks,
My oasis gone, my green dreams wrecks,
I stand bewildered, old heart grieving,
Mad at those whose greedy thieving,
Led me down this waterless track,
And dropped the straw that broke my back.

Yes, but I also remember him using the word "eloquent" after one of Obama's primary "performances", a characterization that disturbed me (especially when delivered with what I saw as admiration, ala Noonan.) He nearly lost me then, but he seems to have righted his course.

gmsc's money tips #17:
I mentioned some blogs that are a good source of financial advice in money tips #8.
Here are a few more that I really should've mentioned earlier, but didn't do so for one reason or another:
Consumerist's Personal Finance Category – I mentioned Consumerist, but wanted to put special attention to their Personal Finance category. It usually has more current event-related finance information (free goodies, special deals, and so on) than its sibling blog (siblog?) Lifehacker and its Personal Finance category
Coyote Blog's Economics Category – I've also mentioned Coyote Blog before, but you should pay special attention to the Economic section in the current climate, as Coyote seems to have a very clear head and the ability to convey his perception just as clearly.
The Objective American – Alas, the writer of this excellent blog, Ernie Ross, died back in 2003 (The blog itself is only available via the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine). However, he wrote about principles, so a large percentage of his entries still ring true today. The economic posts are especially interesting, both as a view from the past, and their relevancy to today's climate. If you enjoy Bill Whittle's work, I know you'll enjoy Ernie Ross' work, as well.

Good morning, newbie ...Your second post!
You know, this is the third UK article I've read today that contains the snark re WAB. I'm rubbing my hands in anticipation of the Brits getting a really good head of steam going and then proceed to skewer her in their unique and deadly (but oh-so-polite) manner. It's already a joy to see.
/Welcome!
Not only did she demonstrate that she spent approximately three seconds contemplating the needs of the Brown boys (having an aide pop to the White House gift shop for a piece of merchandising does not imply a great deal of thought), she appeared to show a most uncharacteristic lapse of judgment.It might have been possible to overlook the incident were it not for the official photograph.
The White House released one picture of the two women and it does not appear to have been selected with any kind of special relationship in mind. There is a menacing bunch of pink peonies in the foreground and the angle is most unflattering to Mrs Brown, who has the air of a woman very much in need of a stiff drink.
Whether deliberate or not, the whole thing feels like a snub.
As for Fraser and John, their parents’ trip to America will always be remembered as the time that “Mum and Dad went to see the President, and all we got was this lousy plastic helicopter”.

...Diplomats were at first reluctant to discuss the whereabouts of the Churchill bronze, after its ejection from the seat of American power. But the British Embassy in Washington has now confirmed that it sits in the palatial residence of ambassador Sir Nigel Sheinwald, just down the road from Vice President Joe Biden's official residence. It is not clear whether the ambassador plans to keep it in Washington or send it back to London.
American politicians have made quoting Churchill, whose mother was American, something of an art form, but not Mr Obama, who prefers to cite the words and works of his hero Abraham Lincoln. Indeed a bust of Mr Lincoln now sits in the Oval Office where Epstein's Churchill once ruled the roost.
Churchill has less happy connotations for Mr Obama than those American politicians who celebrate his wartime leadership. It was during Churchill's second premiership that Britain suppressed Kenya's Mau Mau rebellion. Among Kenyans allegedly tortured by the colonial regime included one Hussein Onyango Obama, the President's grandfather. ...

Just send this.
Dear IRS,I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to pay taxes owed April 15, but all is not lost.
I have paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax, building permit tax, CDL tax, cigarette tax, corporate income tax, dog license tax, federal income tax, unemployment tax, gasoline tax, hunting license tax, fishing license tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax, inventory tax, liquor tax, luxury tax, Medicare tax, city, school and county property tax (up 33 percent last 4 years), real estate tax, social security tax, road usage tax, toll road tax, state and city sales tax, recreational vehicle tax, state franchise tax, state unemployment tax, telephone federal excise tax, telephone federal state and local surcharge tax, telephone minimum usage surcharge tax, telephone state and local tax, utility tax, vehicle license registration tax, capitol gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas assessment tax, Colorado property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming,
Oklahoma and New Mexico sales tax, and many more that I can't recall but I have run out of space and money.When you do not receive my check April 15, just know that it is an honest mistake. Please treat me the same way you treated Congressmen Charles Rangle, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and ex-Congressman Tom Daschle and, of course, your boss Timothy Geithner.
No penalties and no interest.Sincerely,
gmsc

I think our agenda is clear. We are opposed to: government spending, Kennedy kids, seat-belt laws, being a pussy about nuclear power, busing our children anywhere other than Yale, trailer courts near our vacation homes, Gary Hart, all tiny Third World countries that don't have banking secrecy laws, aerobics, the UN, taxation without tax loopholes, and jewelry on men. We are in favor of: guns, drugs, fast cars, free love (if our wives don't find out) a sound dollar, a cleaner environment (poor people should cut it out with the graffiti), a strong military with spiffy uniforms, Natassia Kinski, Star Wars (and anything else that scares the Russkis), and a firm stand on the Middle East (raze buildings, burn crops, plow the earth with salt, and sell the population into bondage).

Crush depth for US Stock Market is probably when you can buy the Dow 30 for 1 ounce of gold. I don't see it getting there without a civil war happening first.
After the 29 crash, the market lost 50%+, then totally recovered and rallied in 36-37. The "economy" was still totally in the crapper the whole time. In 37 the Dow crashed hard again, but no one noticed because we had soup lines, New Deal make work-do nothing projects, and 25% unemployment regardless.

Awww...those who spend their life advocating things are not feeling a sense of adulthood!
Little Miss Perky Nose and Silk Blouse is not making mad benjamins
And I’m not saying that little-miss-perky-nose-and-silk-blouse is a bad person.
But, aside from her own sense of self worth, what has she accomplished in the last decade?
Pretty much zero.
Numerous young Washingtonians bemoan the improvisational and protracted career track of the area’s public interest profession. They say the high competition for comparatively low-paying jobs saps their sense of adulthood, forcing them to spend their 20s or early 30s moving from college to work to graduate school and back…
Many globally minded people choose to work for nongovernmental organizations, or NGOs, that advocate certain causes…
So the best they can imagine doing is “advocating”.
Here’s a hint: maybe the reason that your “sense of adulthood” is “sapped” is because you haven’t been doing anything at all adult.
Adults accomplish things.

J.D. Fri, Mar 6, 2009 2:26:23am |
Jonah, there are two possible explanations for the humiliations inflicted by the Obama Administration on Mr Brown:One is that (as several alleged experts have told me) in this area the president genuinely differs from his predecessors. Take that Martin Gilbert biography of Churchill the Prime Minister gave him: I'll wager Obama will never read a word of it. To him, Sir Winston is not the great wartime leader, the indispensable man in civilization's darkest hour (1940-41), but the post-war leader responsible for the ruthless suppression of the Mau-Mau rebellion in his father's Kenya. Churchill is not the way to Obama's heart.
And, in a broader sense, he has no particular attachment to "the west" - to the transatlantic partnership, the Anglo-American relationship, any of it. As I touched on in NR the other week, to his admirers he represents a cooler post-western "hybridity". And, given where he chose to spend his entire adult life, that seems entirely likely.
The simpler explanation, which I find more persuasive, is that he's just too narcissistic: He's the star and these foreign prime ministers are rather dreary extras. And unfortunately he's not a good enough actor to conceal his lack of interest in them. And his courtiers take pretty much the same line, which is why it never occurred to them that some no-name Brit would be insulted at not getting the multi-flagged joint presser.
(For what it's worth, I heard similar reports of the president's remoteness on his flying visit to Ottawa, where the only person he seemed to get any kind of kick out of was Her Majesty's vicereine, Michaelle Jean, who happens to be a fine-looking woman, if you're into leftie babes.)

Random thought of the evening: Hussein Dolt has a knack for bringing exceptionally inept wanna-be assassins out of the woodwork. I mean for all the concerns I heard about his safety, the only two known 'plots' on his life amounted to some unemployable losers saying in a chatroom 'I'm gonna kill him- it has to be done. Can anyone here provide me with a gun and bus fare to D.C.?'
Or the 'We're gonna go on a killing spree as soon as we rob a gun store with a machete' neo-nazis from during the election.

Apparently there's all kinds of jobs available in Saskatchewan right now...altho' I think for us Americans it would require a work permit and/or getting paid under the table in a currency that's only worth 3/4 to 2/3rds the value of the US$.
Still, the premier of Saskatchewan seems to be in favor of low taxes and appreciates the results of keeping the cost of living and doing business in his province down.

Good Morning LGF.
The writing is on the wall today for John Tory, the leader of the Ontario Conservative Party, who yesterday failed yet again to secure a seat in the Provincial Legislature, when he lost a byelection in a supposedly "safe" Conservative riding.
Watch for Tory to step down as leader in the next few days. That is, unless he once again refuses to look in the mirror and recognize himself for what he really is - a perpetual loser lacking in sufficient self-respect to step aside for the good of his party.

Good morning.
Looks like the market will open down (notice a pattern here folks?) as the new unemployment data is due out. They anticipate more unemployed in the 650,000 range and for the unemployment rate to rise to 8%.
Get ready for another large sell off in the next few days. There is a growing sense of futility for those still in the market, and we are likely approaching the point of "capitulation", which is what the technicians call the point where investors throw in the towel, give up on the market, and sell out at any price they can get. The technicians believe that you can't start rebuilding the market until you hit the point of capitulation. The market is now down over 20% since the Messiah was sworn in and over 30% since he was elected. Private investors have lost trillions in wealth during Obama's War on Wealth.
Tim Geithner can not get anybody to work for him. Many of his appointees are now withdrawing their applications to work for him.
Treasury secretary's choice for deputy withdraws
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The person Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner wanted as his chief deputy has withdrawn from consideration, dealing a setback to the understaffed agency as it struggles to address the worst financial crisis in decades.Annette Nazareth, a former senior staffer and commissioner with the Securities and Exchange Commission, made "a personal decision" to withdraw from the process, according to a person familiar with her decision.
The decision followed more than a month of intense scrutiny of her taxes and multiple interviews. No tax problems or other issues arose during Nazareth's vetting, said the person, who requested anonymity because Geithner's choice of Nazareth was never announced officially.
Obama's new FDIC chair, Sheila Bair, caused a major run on the banks by talking openly that the FDIC might run out of of money. Rather than quietly deal with any funding issues behind the scenes and then announce the result when the funding was tied down, she comes out publicly with the problem and causes another panic. Bair could not have said anything more damaging to the financial system at this time.
And then there is the Messiah himself, who is now getting caught just outright lying. Yesterday he said that someone goes bankrupt every 30 seconds over medical bills. The 2001 survey that this stat was taken from has since been determined to be false and unsupportable by multiple unbiased reviewers. Basically, Obama is making it up as he goes along now.
I hope those who voted for Obama are happy now.

A Ditch, Not a Summit
When President Obama opened today’s summit on health care reform at the White House, he said:
In this effort, every voice has to be heard. Every idea must be considered.
Of course, he spoke those words to a room that contained not a single advocate of free-market health care reform.
* No one from the American Enterprise Institute (ranked the #5 think tank in the world for health policy)
* No one from the Cato Institute (ranked #7)
* No one from the National Center for Policy Analysis (ranked #10)
* No one from the Manhattan Institute
* No one from the Pacific Research Institute
* No one from the Galen Institute
* No one from the Heritage Foundation
* The list goes on…Obama did, however, invite people from left-wing think tanks, including avowed advocates of socialized medicine. That makes Obama’s pledge of openness a farce, and today’s event a charade.
Or as my colleague Wayne Crews puts it: it’s a ditch, not a summit.

Debating Health-Care [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Another common argument for more government insurance is that the uninsured shift costs to private payers when they avail themselves of the health-care safety net — thus jacking up health-care premiums in the private sector. Many reform advocates make this claim, including Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D., Mass.) and Sen. Baucus in an op-ed in this newspaper.This is not the case. In the first place, a recent CBO report ("Key Issues in Analyzing Major Health Insurance Proposals, " December 2008) is clear on one issue: Working to achieve universal coverage through expanding government's role in health care will increase total costs and therefore either increase premiums or taxes, not reduce them. As for the argument that the uninsured shift costs, Mr. Elmendorf was quite direct dispelling this myth in his testimony before Mr. Baucus's committee. "Overall," he said, "the effect of uncompensated care on private-sector payment rates appears to be limited."
In fact, insofar as there is a cost shift, it derives from the government programs Medicare and Medicaid, which reimburse providers at rates roughly 20% to 40% lower than the private providers. This has been detailed by the widely used and quoted health consultant firm, the Lewin Group. But this is conveniently ignored by those who want to expand government health care.
Preventative care, disease management and electronic medical records are also constantly cited as big cost-savers. The idea here is that if our health-care system was set up to prevent disease rather than just treat it, and could do so without duplicative paper records, it could save money. It's a great hypothesis, but research does not indicate it amounts to much. "In many cases," as Mr. Elmendorf testified regarding such initiatives, "those studies do not support claims of reductions in health spending or budgetary reductions."
Americans like their current health care, its plethora of choice and its intensive, high tech approach to fixing our ailments. A Gallup survey in December reported that "on balance, Americans still favor maintaining the current system, 49% to 41%." But the CBO is very clear that saving money on health care involves doing less of the very things Americans like the most.
"Studies attribute the bulk of the cost of growth to the development of new treatments and other medical technologies," the CBO notes in a report issued last December, later adding, "Given the central role of medical technology in cost growth, reducing or slowing spending over the long term would probably require decreasing the pace of adopting new treatments and procedures or limiting the breadth of their application."
In other words, reducing costs means rationing the care of those who currently have private insurance and Medicare.

After the 29 crash, the market lost 50%+, then totally recovered and rallied in 36-37. The "economy" was still totally in the crapper the whole time. In 37 the Dow crashed hard again, but no one noticed because we had soup lines, New Deal make work-do nothing projects, and 25% unemployment regardless.
FYI- The Dow bottomed in 1932 having lost 89% from the peak. It did recover sharply to 1937 but did not get back to the pre-crash peak until 1954

Health 'Reformers' Ignore Facts
Debunking the Democratic argument for government-run health care.
The Democrats' case to expand government health care is so full of holes that passing it quickly is their only hope. If Americans slow down and ask questions, they will be hard-put to come up with answers.In fact, if members of Congress slow down long enough to read the detailed reports of their own Congressional Budget Office (CBO) -- or even its director's recent Senate testimony -- they will understand that many of the slogans they use to justify government intervention are false.
Statist health-care reform, for example, is said to be needed to help the economy recover in a period of deepening gloom. The president has made this argument on numerous occasions, such as earlier this week when he announced Kathleen Sebelius as his pick for Secretary of Health and Human Resources. So too has Henry Waxman (D., Calif.), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. "The costly failure of our health care system affects the financial health of our businesses," Mr. Waxman said at a conference at Families USA, the national nonprofit dedicated to health care for all Americans. "It affects our competitiveness in the world . . . This isn't something to put off; this is something to do right now to help fix our economy."
Health care certainly plays a major role in the U.S. economy, and by almost any objective account a highly positive role. It employs 13 million Americans and accounts for one out of 10 jobs. But the assertion that the costs of providing health insurance cripples American corporations in the global economy is simply wrong. ...

I posted about this on a late thread the other day, so I thought I'd mention it on a morning thread...
I was playing around on the internet a couple of weeks ago and looking up my lineage. I found out the name of my great-great-great granfather, who had died in the Civil War (he had been in a Confederate POW camp) but I had no idea where. So, I sent off to NY for a copy of his military service record. The indicated that he died in New Orleans in 1864.
I did more searching and, after an e-mail, was able to find out that he is buried at the Chalmette National Cemetary. The nice lady (a park ranger, I believe) who pointed me to the list of the 14,000 Union dead buried there was very helpful. In fact, I e-mailed her and asked if I could get a digital pic of his headstone. She indicated that the cemetary and national park it is in is under repair at the moment (Katrina damage) but that when she can, she will go snap one and e-mail it to me...

Sharia's Inroads in Europe - Italian Court: 'Beaten Up for "Her Own Good"'
the corner, again...
Muslim women were quick to denounce the supreme court's decision. Among them, Souad Sbai, president of the Organization of Moroccan Women in Italy.
But on appeal, the family was acquitted because the court deemed that the young woman was beaten up for "her own good." The Bologna public prosecutor's office then disputed the acquittal of the three accused parties, but the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed it and ruled in favor of the charged parties.
SNIP
Muslim women were quick to denounce the supreme court's decision. Among them, Souad Sbai, president of the Organization of Moroccan Women in Italy.
She said, "It is a shame, this verdict is worthy of an Arab country where the Sharia would be in vigor. In the name of multiculturalism and respect of traditions, the judges apply two kinds of rules: one for the Italians and one for the immigrants. A Catholic father that would have acted this way would have been severely sentenced."
SNIP
But the United Kingdom is a different story, indeed there close to 40 percent of young Muslims are in favor of Sharia law being implemented in Britain. The idea seems to be also making headway among non-Muslims. So, last year, Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, gave his support for the courts in Britain, saying that the legal recognition of them "seems unavoidable." He added, the United Kingdom has to "face up to the fact" that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system.
Williams argued that adopting parts of Islamic Sharia law would help maintain social cohesion. For example, Muslims could choose to have marital disputes or financial matters dealt within a Sharia court.

So true. A few weeks before that I found a scanned copy of the 1920 census paperwork that had my grandfather and grandmother listed. In fact, it had my grandfather at 26 and my grandmother at 16 -- my grandfather was actually older (I believe 29 or so) but he had lied about his age because my grandmother's parents refused to let her marry him if he was more that 10 years older than she.

'Joe the Plumber' sues over Ohio records probe
17 hours ago
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — "Joe the Plumber" is suing three former state officials in Ohio, saying they violated his privacy when they gathered his personal information in a records search.
Samuel J. Wurzelbacher says in the federal lawsuit filed Thursday that he suffered emotional distress, harassment, humiliation and embarrassment as a result of their actions. He's seeking unspecified punitive damages.
The lawsuit names Helen Jones-Kelley, who resigned in December as director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, and two assistants.
Ohio's inspector general found that Jones-Kelley improperly used state computers to find personal information on Wurzelbacher, a Toledo-area man who rose to fame during the presidential campaign after asking Barack Obama about his tax plan.

"If Iran is allowed to go forward, in self-defense or for a variety of reasons we could have half-a-dozen countries in the region and 20 or 30 more around the world, doing the same thing, just in case," he told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Advertisement
But Scowcroft and another former U.S. national security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, counseled against using military force to try to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

It seems like he is focused on his agenda in a vacuum, not even looking at the walls falling down around him. Unreal.
He wants the walls to fall down (just as the Dems in Congress wanted us to lose in Iraq). He talks down the economy every chance he gets, repeatedly using the word crisis.
After we crash and burn, he can, with the help of his lefty Congress, impose the socialist utopia they've dreamed of for decades (actually, they've already started)...

The Structural Relationships between the Body of Man and the Anthropoid Ape 1699
English Physician and comparative anatomist Edward Tyson publishes Orang-Outang, sive Homo Sylvestris; or, the Anatomy of a Pygmie Compared with that of a Monkey, an Ape and a Man, including 8 folding plates engraved by Michael Vandergucht after drawings bythe artist and anatomist, William Cowper.
Tyson's anatomy of the "orang-outang" was the first work to demonstrate scientifically the structural relationships between the anatomy of man and the anthropoid ape, in Tyson's case a chimpanzee. For Tyson the term Orang-Outang meant "man of the woods." The Dutch surgeon and anatomist Nicholas (or Nicolaes) Tulp had used the same words to describe a chimpanzee, which he illustrated in his Observationum medicarum (1641). The application of the phrase in its modern sense to the Pongo family had not yet occurred.
Perhaps with some humor , but also to confirm the anatomical similarities, Tyson had Cowper draw the standing dissected figures of chimpanzees in the style of the famous Vesalian musclemen. A believer in the "Great Chain of Being," Tyson identified the chimpanzee as the link directly below mankind, stating in his "Epistle Dedicatory" that it "seems the Nexus of the Animal and Rational." Tyson's anatomical study-- the first conducted of a great ape-- had a powerful influence on all subsequent thought on man's place in nature. The last section of Orang-Outang is devoted to "A philological essay concerning the pygmies of the ancients," an early and major contribution to the study of primate-oriented folklore.

Two weeks ago an El Al captain of a Boeing 757 flying from a European destination to Israel ordered the removal of a number of passengers' suitcases from the plane to allow two El Al employees to get on the flight.
[Link: www.haaretz.com...]
In this case, the plane had reached its weight limit and the pilot decided to leave some luggage behind.
If you are very familiar with Israel Society and El Al, this story is very believable and kind of funny. Not if it was your luggage, but hey, ya got to have a sense of humor.

nationalledger.com — A nice-sounding bill called the "Global Poverty Act," sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States. The bill makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.

From one of my employees...
AN IRISH BLONDE IN A CASINO
An attractive blonde from Cork , Ireland arrived at the casino.She seemed a little intoxicated and bet twenty-thousand Euros on a single roll
of the dice.
She said, 'I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm completely nude'.
With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and with an Irish brogueyelled, 'Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!'
As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed..'YES! YES! I WON, I WON!'
She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and
her clothes and quickly departed.
The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded.
Finally, one of them asked, 'What did she roll?'
The other answered, 'I don't know - I thought you were watching.'
MORAL OF THE STORY -
Not all Irish are drunks,
not all blondes are dumb,
but all men...are men.

Kenneth Fri, Mar 6, 2009 6:08:55am |
Good morning folks. A startlingly frank report about the Obamas from a UK journalist reveals something troubling in Obamaland,
Was 'Lady Macbeth' behind Barack Obama's snub of Gordon Brown?
On US radio's Garrison show today, I was asked for my reaction as a true born Englishman to President Obama's double insult - first the sending back of the Winston Churchill bust, then his snub to Gordon Brown. "Tough one. Really tough one," I said, torn - as most of surely are - between delight at seeing Brown roundly humiliated, and dismay at having the special relationship so peremptorily, cruelly and bafflingly ruptured.
What was the guy thinking? In researching my new book Welcome to Obamaland, I discovered that Obama's judgment is pretty dreadful - but this? My favourite theory so far - suggested by presenter Greg Garrison - was that it was a move calculated to please his Lady Macbeth. At the moment in Britain, we're still in the "Doesn't she look fabulous in a designer frock" stage of understanding of Michelle Obama. Gradually, though, we'll begin to realise that she is every bit the terrifying executive's wife that Hillary Clinton was. Or, shudder, Cherie Blair.
...no matter how utterly rubbish we have become as a nation in the Blair/Brown years, Britain's friendship is something Obama will come to regret having dispensed with so lightly. This was not the act of a global statesman, but of a hormonal teenager dismissing her bestest of best BFs for no other reason than that she felt like it and she can, so there.
RTWT!

The President and Congress are an embarrassment. Obama can't get enough of Hollywood and musicians. Pitt has superpowers so no need to worry about the economy.
Capitol Hill goes gaga over Brad Pitt
From the moment he stepped into the Capitol on Thursday, sunglassed and goateed, Pitt's star power transformed congressional business-as-usual in a way any lawmaker or new president might envy.Pitt's superpowers are such that he and President Barack Obama pulled off an improbably secret meeting on the same topic earlier in the day, White House spokesman Thomas F. Vietor confirmed.

Speaking of C-P, has anyone ever found (online) a copy of the original 1966 "The Nation" article that is mentioned in just about every analysis/review/critique of Cloward-Piven?
I've read a bunch of pieces on the topic, and I can say that it is definitely not a "conspiracy theory", as many of the proposals put forward have already been enacted and have had the desired result.
I've not found it. The other day, someone (you?) suggested that it's probably archived on-line but costs to get it.
And, no. It's not a conspiracy theory. It's a fact.

re: #669 lincolntf
I just searched The Nation archives online and found this list:
A Strategy to End Poverty
Cloward, Richard A. %P% May 2, 1966 issue
The article focuses on a strategy which affords the basis for a convergence of civil rights organizations, militant anti-poverty groups and the poor. If this strategy were implemented, a political crisis would result that could lead to legislation for a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty. The distribution of public assistance has been a local and state responsibility, and that accounts in large part for the abysmal character of welfare practices. Despite the growing involvement of federal agencies in supervisory and reimbursement arrangements, state and local community forces are still decisive.
The archives are pay-per-view. It will cost you $2.95 to read the whole thing.

Netanyahu gets asked a question by British TV:
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU INTERVIEW WITH BRITISH TELEVISION THIS PAST WEEK. The interviewer asked him: "How come so many more Palestinians have been killed in this conflict than Israelis?" (A nasty question if there ever was one!)
Netanyahu: "Are you sure that you want to start asking in that direction?"
Interviewer: Why not?
Netanyahu: "Because in World War II more Germans were killed than British and Americans combined, but there is no doubt in anyone's mind that the war was caused by Germany 's aggression. And in response to the German blitz on London , the British wiped out the entire city of Dresden , burning to death more German civilians than the number of people killed in Hiroshima. Moreover, I could remind you that in 1944, when the R.A.F. tried to bomb the Gestapo Headquarters in Copenhagen , some of the bombs missed their target and fell on a Danish children's hospital, killing 83 little children . Perhaps you have another question?"

re: #692 Vet_Missing_Parts (1LT, Ret)
If we still have the stomach to do so.
It's all part of the master plan...
1) Ruin the economy and make people helpless.
2) Make people count on the government for their every need, under the threat that if they don't do things the way the Messiah wants, they are left out in the cold.
3) Implement a National ID card that is needed to do _anything_, work, buy, sell, whatever, so you can be monitored and your consumption taxed and "illegal" behaviors punished.
One way to do that is to eliminate/reduce charitable deductions for those deemed "rich".
Now, here's something that's been poking around my mind lately. Moonbats might claim that giving people deductions for charitable donations prove that people are greedy, that if they really cared, they'd just give with no expectation of a reduction in taxes.

The Cloward-Piven strategy is real and well known to community organizers and leftists militants. It's a given Obama learned about it at college and during his work with ACORN & etc. The speculation is about whether the Obama administration is currently following a C-P strategy.
There are 2 ways to know for sure if Obama is following a C-P strategy.
1. Either Obama or one of his aids comes out and says so, or,
2. A sufficient number of his policies are so disastrous, and in the particular ways defined by the C-P strategy, that it becomes not only highly likely that he is doing a C-P, but also statistically unlikely he could be screwing up so badly by accident.

1. Either Obama or one of his aids comes out and says so, or,
2. A sufficient number of his policies are so disastrous, and in the particular ways defined by the C-P strategy, that it becomes not only highly likely that he is doing a C-P, but also statistically unlikely he could be screwing up so badly by accident.

Nonprofits fret over Obama’s plan to tax wealthy.
“We are generally supportive of health-care reform and working with the administration toward this goal, but I don’t see it as my job to find the money for this," said William Daroff, UJC’s vice president for public policy and the director of its Washington office, which lobbies for hundreds of millions of dollars annually in federal money for social services.
"It is my job to say this is the wrong place to get it because you are hurting those you are attempting to help -- average folks in need of the services of charities. Beyond that there are over 15 million people who work for nonprofits, and any decrease in contributions will exacerbate the tough times that many charities are already going through. In fact, many charities, and many federations, are already laying off people."

The proposed budget includes military cuts the size of Texas and deficits large enough for our children and their grand children to suffer through.

Memo to barry: US Companies Pay the Highest Taxes in the World
It may come as a surprise that US companies pay the highest taxes in the world. Yes, you read that right. American businesses, large and small and across all industries pay from 35% to 41.6% of their income in combined state and federal taxes. The 41.6% maximum rate is scheduled to rise to 46.2% in 2010 when President Obama's promised tax increases are implemented. Compare that to socialist France where companies pay only 34.4% in taxes, to China where the rate is 25%, or Russia which levies a mere 24%. Corporations in Ireland, Europe's fastest growing economy for the
last 18 years, pay just 12.5% in taxes.
Because of its dual taxation system, US businesses and individuals are required to pay both state and federal taxes on their income. When combined both these taxes range from a minimum of 35% in states like Nevada, South Dakota, and Wyoming that do not tax business income, to a maximum of 41.6% in Iowa, the state with the highest corporate tax rate of 12%.

re: #823 Kenneth
"The key to sparking this rebellion would be to expose the inadequacy of the welfare state. Cloward-Piven's early promoters cited radical organizer Saul Alinsky as their inspiration. "Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules," Alinsky wrote in his 1972 book Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judaeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system's failure to "live up" to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist "rule book" with a socialist one."
I think the reason that many still see this as a conspiracy theory is that the language and intent are so blunt. Nowadays, pols say/do the exact thing C-P lays out, but they couch it in terms of "giving a voice to the voiceless" and "getting back to fairness".

Buy for the kids now, on sale or at the Goodwil. Things they might need next year....get them less expensively now, ahead of time.
Prepare for the worse and hope for the best.
We've been doing these things for years (lots of kids one income) and we are learning to cut back even more now. In a way its good life skills for the kids, but when I see their savings sucked dry it worries me. 18 months a go my sons mission fund was enough to get him through two years, buy his clothing and perhaps have some left over for his first year of college. Now I'm afraid there isn't enough to pay for the mission without the clothes and school. He departs in 3 weeks and we may have to end up supplementing his funds by the time his two years are up.
We do enjoy gardening. (We'll I enjoy it, the kids tolerate it). By the time we pay for the seeds, fertilizer and gas for the tiller the tomatoes are probably $5 each, but they are soooooo good off the vine. We've had lots of luck with beans and squash too. I can't wait to get out there tomorrow and till. 75 degrees in Atlanta!

I was having numbness/swelling in left jaw. Dr.'s first thought was heart (did you know that women more often have jaw trouble when having a heart attack, where men have the arm problem? I didn't!) After lots of tests, they ruled that out fortunately. Might be TMJ, might not. Numbness gone and now it just hurts. Need to see another dr. for that.
But it's a beautiful day here as well, and I think I'll spend the day welcoming spring in the park across the street!

Theres a whole laundry list of things that are fun that I can't do now. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on your POV) I joined up with the Mormons when I was 21 and haven't been doing them for a long time. Probably saved my life a few times already.

Oh, the jihadi's he'll welcome. Remember, he said the call to prayer is a sweet sound. He'll probably try to have a mosque built around the Washington Monument, and turn the monument into the minaret.
He is far worse than I thought he'd be. We got a recap of the Carter administration in a month; that leaves 47 months to do more damage.
They used to say a president would get at least a 60 day honeymoon; his was over at 30.

GOP Forces Senate to Delay Vote on $410B Spending Bill
Senate Democratic leaders are still coming up short as they work furiously behind the scenes to gather up 60 votes to pass a $410 billion spending bill that funds the government through September.
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said Thursday night that he was one vote short of the votes needed despite calling Senate Appropriations Committee Republicans to try to secure support from about six of them. A vote had been scheduled for Thursday evening, but now the bill is on hold at least until Monday, meaning that for now most government departments will have to continue operating at 2008 spending levels.
Earlier Thursday, Reid said he had only three solid "yes" votes from the GOP: Sens. Thad Cochran of Mississippi, Richard Shelby of Alabama and Olympia Snowe of Maine.
Concern is high enough that the leadership team canceled a weekly background briefing with reporters in order to shore up the vote.
Among the targeted committee Republicans: Sens. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Bob Bennett of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Arkansas and Kit Bond of Missouri.
If they don't pass this bloated swine carcass, they'll have to pass a stop gap bill, without earmarks and freezing the spending at previous 2008 levels.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. The Port Authority says that Ground Zero construction will create thousands of jobs over the next few years, but that's exactly what they've been saying for years now as construction was delayed. It's good that they're finally building - and the Freedom Tower is rising slowly but steadily - 10+ stories now. It's just that the wait was intolerable.
Meanwhile, the economic mess on Wall Street is making it tough to lease space around Lower Manhattan. Merill Lynch is consolidating with Bank of America and that means that the World Financial Center is losing a major tenant.
The economic mess also means that Tim Geithner is going to continue to have problems filling slots at Treasury. His choice for deputy, Annette Nazareth withdrew because of her prior experience. She was at the SEC and failed to pick up on the Wall Street excessive risk taking that led to the toxic paper crisis. Her job? Heading market regulation division, where she put in an "oversight" regime that was insufficient to the task.
It also means that filling other slots is going to be exceedingly difficult because the pool of people from whom Obama and Geithner can fill Treasury positions is going to come from the same bunch of people responsible for the melt-down in the first place.

Never. gonna. happen.
The democrats live and breathe to raise taxes. They are constantly dreaming of new and creative ways to raise taxes. It's not just about money - it's about control. Taxing this, subsidizing that re-distributing and destroying - Taxing is like a drug - The corruptocrats are addicted to the control.
My son suggested doing away with terms limits for President, give the Prez $170 trillion and tell him he's out on his ear when it's gone.

Then just before quitting time HR tells me I'm being forced to lay off one of my guys by the 12'th, this has me really stressing. Finally when I get home and tell the turnwife my sad story she tells me she had to go pick up turnspawn at the county jail because he got picked up for a 502 the night before.

Morning lizards,
Boy yesterday was one f$%^'d up day for turn, and this has nothing to do with my 101k. First off my father passed away 19 years ago on that day so I was down from the start. Then just before quitting time HR tells me I'm being forced to lay off one of my guys by the 12'th, this has me really stressing. Finally when I get home and tell the turnwife my sad story she tells me she had to go pick up turnspawn at the county jail because he got picked up for a 502 the night before. I've learned life goes in cycles, you know peaks and valleys of happiness and contentment. My only hope is that this valley doesn't get any deeper.

Bedtime, so goodnight {everyone} and have a wonderful yesterday!
Tonight's view of OZ gives a glimpse of a lovely part of our Outback, and a favourite place for me
The pub there had a resident horse (now buried out the back in the beer garden) which used to drink at the bar - the place is quite small so the horse's behind was outside while drinking beer inside with all the locals and visitors
One of the Mad Max movies was filmed nearby...

Then just before quitting time HR tells me I'm being forced to lay off one of my guys by the 12'th, this has me really stressing. Finally when I get home and tell the turnwife my sad story she tells me she had to go pick up turnspawn at the county jail because he got picked up for a 502 the night before. I've learned life goes in cycles, you know peaks and valleys of happiness and contentment. My only hope is that this valley doesn't get any deeper.
It could be worse.
Your dad is peaceful now.
It could be you who is laid off by the 12th (condolences to your colleague - my neighbor works for the largest contstruction company in town, the company laid of about 50 people - dont expect rehires for at least a year.)
Turnspawn could have come home pregnant (or with a girl who is pregnant) and have a bazillion (or even 10,000,000 piercings.)

I doubt it. They are so full of themselves that they probably just want to go look down on her and let her know that there is new royalty on the world stage and she is on her way out.
I'd agree if this was your usual head-of-state.
The Queen however has been at this job for over 50 years - she has seen them come, and has seen them go, especially those who felt ever so high-and-mighty.
Thing is - the Queen has far too good and polished manners, so the 0s will probably not notice a thing.

True.
And regardless of how on reagdrs Monarchy anyway - the Queen is surely not just the longest-reigning, but the most constitutional of all of them.
She has never put a foot wrong, and plain duty for her country is what it is all about, for her.
Thats what she vowed at her coronation - and boy has she kept that vow! She has never interfered with any government, strikes, war, whatever. She is always ready to give the Prime Minister of the day her advice - and after over fifty years that advice must be priceless.

She's not alone.
Anyone with the necessary experience to work at Treasury is likely to be the same pool of people who got us into this mess in the first place. And Sumner, Geithner, and Volcker aren't on the same page either - and those people must get on the same page.

Kenneth Fri, Mar 6, 2009 8:12:03am |
The strategy is based on the fact that a vast discrepancy
exists between the benefits to which people are entitled under
public welfare programs and the sums which they actually
receive. This gulf is not recognized in a society that is
wholly and self-righteously oriented toward getting people
off the welfare rolls. It is widely known, for example, that
nearly 8 million persons (half of them white) now subsist on
welfare, but it is not generally known that for every person
on the rolls at least one more probably meets existing criteria
of eligibillty but is not obtaining assistance.
The discrepancy is not an accident stemming from bureaucratic
inefficiency; rather, it is an integral feature of the
welfare system which, if challenged, would precipitate a
profound financial and political crisis. The force for that
challenge, and the strategy we propose, is a massive drive
to recruit the poor onto the welfare rolls.
Of course, on great way to get more people on the welfare rolls is to crash the economy and through millions out of work.

Our breakfast table newspaper says: "The bus, which was parked, was empty."
The video on Carl in Jerusalem's post shows the bus coming to a stop at a red traffic light, not parked, so already the widely spewed breakfast table newspaper is wrong. Now, was the bus empty? or did it have kids in it? And if it wasn't empty, do we think the paper will issue a correction and that the correction will counter the false perception generated worldwide by their incompetent (or worse) reporting?

But that is not the Cloward-Piven strategy. The idea is to overload the welfare system thereby causing an economic & political crisis which will force a change to the capitalist system, ushering in socialism. This appears to be the Obama admin economic policy.

Question for the lizard army:
IsraelMatzav says: It tried to push the police car into the bus sitting at the traffic light (which was full of kids), but a light pole got in the way.
Our breakfast table newspaper says: "The bus, which was parked, was empty."
The video on Carl in Jerusalem's post shows the bus coming to a stop at a red traffic light, not parked, so already the widely spewed breakfast table newspaper is wrong. Now, was the bus empty? or did it have kids in it? And if it wasn't empty, do we think the paper will issue a correction and that the correction will counter the false perception generated worldwide by their incompetent (or worse) reporting?

Many of the same people at CNBC were those who didn't even pick up on the problems with CDOs and the toxic paper spewed as part of the subprime collateralization. Neither did they see the problems associated with the incredibly low interest rates proffered by the Fed following 9/11 to spur the economy, which was coupled with an unshackling of responsible lending - throwing money at everyone with a pulse (and I'm sure a few without a pulse also got loans).

These disruptions would generate severe political strains, and
deepen existing divisions among elements in the bigcity
Democratic coalition: the remaining white middle class, the
white working-class ethnic groups and the growing minority
poor. To avoid a further weakening of that historic coalition,
a national Democratic administration would be constrained
to advance a federal solution to poverty that would
override local welfare failures, local class and racial conflicts
and local revenue dilemmas. By the internal disruption
of local bureaucratic practices, by the furor over public
welfare poverty, and by the collapse of current financing
arrangements, powerful forces can be generated for major 4
economic reforms at the national level.

In order to generate a crisis, the poor must obtain
benefits which they have forfeited. Until now, they have
been inhibited from asserting claims by self-protective devices
within the welfare system: its capacity to limit information,
to intimidate applicants, to demoralize recipients,
and arbitrarily to deny lawful claims.
Ignorance of welfare rights can be attacked through a
massive educational campaign. Brochures describing benefits
in simple, clear language, and urging people to seek their
full entitlements, should be distributed door to door in tenements
and public housing projects, and deposited in stores,
schools, churches and civic centers.
That is where the Stimulus Bill earmark for ACORN is going: to fund the education & organization drive necessary to overload the system.

re: #1281 Honorary Yooper
They may want this to be the crisis, but if world events go their usual way, this administration will be woefully unprepared for other crises as they come up as a result of this. Obama and company may view this as a time to create the global dependencies, but these other crises would blow that apart in no time.
In addition, whatever he does is reversible with time.
Yep, 2010 cannot come quick enough.

'Dinochicken' scheme puts evolution in reverse
Some of the world's leading paleontologists are attempting to recreate a dinosaur — or something a lot like a dinosaur — by starting with a chicken embryo and working backward to engineer a "chickenosaurus" or "dinochicken," project leader Jack Horner told Discovery News.
Such "reverse evolution" has been successfully performed in mice and flies, but those studies focused on re-introducing just a few bygone traits. The dinochicken project instead has the goal of bringing back multiple dinosaur characteristics, such as a tail, teeth and forearms, by changing the levels of regulatory proteins that have evolved to suppress these characteristics in birds.
"Birds are dinosaurs, so technically we're making a dinosaur out of a dinosaur," said Horner, a professor of paleontology at Montana State University and curator of paleontology at the Museum of the Rockies.
"The only reason we're using chickens, instead of some other bird, is that the chicken genome has been mapped, and chickens have already been exhaustively studied," added Horner.
Hey, it couldn't hurt.

re: #1261 Walter L. Newton
It's not going to happen. This time they are playing for keeps. You can already see how Obama is planing future schemes that will help involve us in a global dependence.
If we end up with a mess, it's not going to be the sort of mess you're talking about.
I've got more optimism than that. At this rate the '10 mid-terms will be the watershed IMHO. BHO keeps this up, and (R)s pull their heads out of their asses and nationalize the mid-terms. A veto proof congress is possible, making BHO irrelevant for the last two years.
However if the '10 midterms end up with the same old butts in the same old seats, all bets are off.

The truly sad part about this crisis is that it is almost completely artificial. There was no dust bowl that ruined our crops, or a terrible world war or influenza epidemic. Nope - this one was caused by meddling with the markets in the name of "fairness" and even today is being made worse by restrictions and needless regulation of our own natural resources, innovantions and talents.

lawhawk, someone posted a couple of weeks ago, I guess Limbaugh, or another talking head making reference to 550 billion being taken out of the stock market, and the feds reacting to it.
I know 3wood had referenced to naked short selling, etc.
I have tried to look for this, but I can't seem to dig anything in reference to validate that sum of money was pulled out, albeit nefariously.
Are you aware of anything like this?
September 18, 2008. I have been researching this event. There is not much to be found, but it clear that something happened and i suspect it may be at least partly responsible for the bailout emergency panic last fall.

Kenneth Fri, Mar 6, 2009 8:40:11am |
The media's role:
Advocacy must be supplemented by organized demonstrations to create a cllmate of militancy that wlll overcome
the invidious and immobillzing attitudes which many potential
recipients hold toward being “on welfare.” In such a
climate, many more poor people are likely to become their
own advocates and will not need to rely on aid from organizers.As the crisis develops, it will be important to use the
mass media to inform the broader liberal community about
the inefficiencies and injustices of welfare. For example, the
system will not be able to process many new applicants
because of cumbersome and often unconstitutional investigatory
procedures (which cost 20c for every dollar disbursed).
As delays mount, so should the public demand that
a simplified affidavit supplant these procedures, so that the
poor may certify to their condition. If the system reacts by
making the proof of eligibility difficult, the demand
should be made that the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare dispatch “eligibility registrars” to enforce federal
statutes governing local programs. And throughout the
crisis, the mass media should be used to advance arguments
for a new federal income distribution program.

To generate an expressly political movement, cadres of
aggressive organizers would have to come from the civil
rights movement and the churches, from militant low income
organizations like those formed by the Industrial
Areas Foundation (that is, by Saul Alinsky), and from other
groups on the Left.

By crisis, we mean a publicly visible disruption in some
institutional sphere Crisis can occur spontaneously (e.g.,
riots) or as the Intended result of tactics of demonstration
and protest which either generate institutional disruption or
bring unrecognized disruption to pubic attention. Public
trouble IS a political liability, it calls for action by political
leaders to stabilize the situation. Because crisis usually creates
or exposes conflict, it threatens to produce cleavages
in a political consensus which politicians would ordinarily
act to avert.
| 1309 |
Kenneth Fri, Mar 6, 2009 9:19:39am |
We suggest, in short, that if pervasive institutional reforms
are not yet possible, requiring as they do expanded
Negro political power and the development of new political
alliances, crisis tactics can nevertheless be employed to
secure particular reforms in the short run by exploiting
weaknesses in current political alignments. Because the
urban coalition stands weakened by group conflict today,
disruption and threats of disaffection will count powerfully?
provided that national leaders can respond with
solutions which retain the support of ghetto constituencies
while avoiding new group antagonisms and bolstering the
urban party apparatus. These are the conditions, then, for
an effective crisis strategy in the cities to secure an end to
poverty.

"The world, unfortunately, rarely matches our hopes and consistently refuses to behave in a reasonable manner.
— Stephen Jay Gould"
Gould must be indulging in some whimsy. Why, indeed should the world match our hopes? What do our hopes have to do with the way the world runs? How is the mismatch between our hopes and the the world's behavior unfortunate? And as to behaving in a reasonable manner, if it didn't so behave, science could never have developed at all. Gould, as a scientist, ought to know that.
