I've got a ridiculous political theory paper to do about three commie ass philosophers that my ACORNista professor loves to talk about.

If you read my notes document on my computer, you'd think I'm sitting in on discussions for revolution.

re: #41 TheMatrix31

Hope...change...blah blah blah...

re: #42 Fenway_Nation

Taken from my notes;

Democratic political change – overcoming the relations of domination requires the creation of a new culture and the transformation in the consciousness and the masses.

Well, they're certainly doing well with the change bit. The hope is proving to be more of a sales pitch.

Once they get their programs in place, the real chaos will occur as things follow their natural course. The next step will be to propose to "fix" or "reform" that massive change that they always knew was problematic.

The reform will, of course, involve more change, never a rollback of the prior change that caused the problems.

No doubt your Professor will send you for remedial education should you suggest any of this. Better to just show up to class in a Che shirt and fawn over his drivel. That way you get the diploma and a chance at a real job, unlike the Professor you leave behind.

re: #44 Bagua

Yeah right. The other day, he said something and I was just like "That was so fucking stupid", and just started shaking my head. I hope he saw or heard me.

re: #43 TheMatrix31

Ugh...does that come with or without the cyaide Flavor-Aid?

re: #43 TheMatrix31

Taken from my notes;

Ah yes, good old Gramsci;

The popular political struggle should thus, in part, be waged on the ideological level, with people rejecting the dominant culture's ideology in which they were immersed and embracing an ideology of social liberation.

Nothing like a new culture to liberate the masses from that nasty, failed capitalism of the last 8 years.

re: #47 Bagua

That's the asshole we're studying!

re: #45 TheMatrix31

Yeah right. The other day, he said something and I was just like "That was so fucking stupid", and just started shaking my head. I hope he saw or heard me.

I feel your pain, but you don’t win that way. Your Professor will see that as your cultural consent to the hegemonic role of the dominant culture. The truly subversive act is to participate non-judgmentally and allow yourself to play the role of embracing the counter-hegemonic vision of a non-economistic, democratized state centered on universal values of social justice, human rights, and popular participation in the reformulation of the meanings attached to culture, authority, work, gender, family, community, and consumption.

With your passing grade you can move on to embrace the dominant culture and your career, leaving your Professor none the wiser, it’s the path of less resistance. Think of it as a game and look on it with curiosity, it's easier that way and more fun.

O'Reilly interviews Palin, I think she responded in english but I'm having a hard time understanding it.

I believe that I am [qualified to be president] because I have common sense, and I have, I believe, the values that are reflective of so many other American values. And I believe that what Americans are seeking is not the elitism, the kind of a spinelessness that perhaps is made up for that with some kind of elite Ivy League education and a fact resume that's based on anything but hard work and private sector, free enterprise principles.

Maybe my babelfish needs replacing or something.

re: #50 ausador

Regarding Palin's interview with Bill O, came across this at (the admittedly partisan) Lawyers, Guns, and Money blog:

Literal Symbolism: The Commonsense Conservative History of American Idiocy, from Reagan to the Politics of Nonsense

As to the first embarrassment—her insistence that symbolic gestures are literal—all I can say is that I believe her. She honestly has no idea that she literalized a cliché and then condemned Obama on account of it. She honestly believes that Obama can no longer exert political pressure on reluctant allies because he bowed to the Japanese emperor. She sees not symbolism but causality there. That symbolic gesture is literal proof that Obama is not "exert[ing] the pressure that America can put on our allies and on those who are not so friendly." The mind boggles.

He then goes on to critique here misunderstanding of "history", which is even more damaging.

re: #53 freetoken

Obama's an expert on history, so anyone else pales in comparison I guess.

re: #54 TheMatrix31

He could probably tell all of us what year all 57 states were admitted into the union.

When we all start living to be over one hundred thanks to ObamaCare, will we also get a free Camaro SS? I haven't read all of the Bill, but, the provision may be in there under "Associated Economic Stimulus Effects" or something similar. Anyway, this early adopter's already got his Yellow Unicorn:

I found it humorous the he claimed to be agnostic on AGW but then termed his article Global Warming SCAM - a closer look.

Further, I want to note that my interest in this has absolutely nothing to do with the underlying claim - "Is Man-Made Global Warming Real?" Rather, my interest in this is whether or not the alleged scientific process has been followed - or subverted.

And yet he certainly gave the impression that he was a sceptic.

His IT details came across as knowledgeable though.

re: #80 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Good morning!

re: #82 MandyManners

I can't believe that folks were screaming at each other last night on a Tiny Tim thread. Tiny Tim was about interesting music and happiness, not about butt-hurt.

I am not a skeptic (except for when it comes to the "we're all gonna die!" hyperbole some use) or a denier, warming and the climatic changes from it are occuring and I firmly believe that man is somewhat to fully responsible.

I would love nothing more than good reliable and quantifiable data, the more the better. What should we change, how quickly do we need to do it, what methods will get the best results? These are all questions that we need to come up with answers to and we need good info to base those answers on. Again just how urgent is it, must we do this as a crash program that eats away at our coffers or do we have a little more time to allow an "enhanced" market driven transition?

What I have read in those emails tells me that some of the people involved are not doing good science, they are doing politics. They are partisan and openly biased in favor of making sure their results match the Idea they wish to convey. This is antithetical to the scientific method regardles of what branch of science you are in.

Again let me repeat, I am not against AGW, I am against people doing bad science in the belief that they are helping to promote AGW to the masses. I want objectively peer reviewed and accurate information, not data that has been manipulated to reflect what a small group of people think it should be.

And... Left the thread last night when people showed up... went back and looked at it for a few minutes... glad I left when I did.

Just took a look. Ewww. Seems to be an unpleasant pattern developing. One or two posters might benefit from an extended time-out.

On another topic: we watched a show on Food Network last night where four families competed to produce a Thanksgiving dinner. One family had a single vegetarian member, so out of deference to her they made what they called an all-vegetarian meal, which inexplicably included turkey, and oyster stuffing, but never mind. The vegetarian centerpiece was the dreaded tofurkey loaf, the remaining sides were just the ordinary sides you see anyway - sweet potatoes, green beans and what not. They lost.

My contention was that if you're going to be a vegetarian, you have to own it, and 1) lost the turkey, because it's meat, and 2) don't try to create some hideous, synthetic Franken-turkey out of bean curd. Make vegetarian dishes that stand on their own, without trying to be something else.

So the question is: what would you do in such a case? In particular, what would be your main dish, and where does your protein come from?

re: #85 SixDegrees

I do eat Tofurkey... doesn't really taste like turkey, but takes me back to the days of my youth... I am a veggie burger kind of guy, too.

But, I appreciate your point. I don't disagree... but keep in mind, I went veggie at the age of 38... I do miss the textures are meats, but, not tastes.

ToFurkey has the texture of turkey (not as dry as turkey, though).

Most veggies who eat the fake stuff'll tell you the same thing. All about texture.

The people who went veggie earlier in life, don't miss the textures so much.

It is one of those powered recliners (not a lift chair) and everything works fine except one small detail. When it is fully reclined the chair has moved so far forward on it's base that if you shift your weight even a little forward the whole chair tips over forward onto the floor.

Their past history indicates they have nothing to contribute other than mean-spirited, hate-filled attacks, which is not why I come here.

At least here, it's confined to less than a handful of posters. And, I'm beginning to suspect, to what may be an even fewer number of actual typists.

re: #184 Fenway_Nation

Northeast about 100 miles. Cairo's where the Ohio meets the Mississippi (or close enough). Go along the southeastern edge of Illinois, along the Ohio, up the Wabash, past Vincennes, Ind. (where Louis and Clark crossed the Wabash) and your almost there. 40 miles south of I-70. Really about as close to nowhere in the Midwest a one can be these days. My mom lives not to far from there.

Cafe Press Bans All ‘Pray For Obama: Psalm 109:8′ Merchandise

Glad to see this. There ought to be a special place in hell for the people who like to hide behind their pious displays of religion and pretend to be 'Christian' while promoting this sort of evil crap.

This week, both the websites of CafePress.com and Zazzle.com decided to stop selling merchandise that featured the latest right-wing craze: the slogan “Pray for Obama: Psalm 109:8.” However, Cafe Press then changed its mind and told ThinkProgress that it was reinstating the merchandise, which fell within “fair political commentary.”

Whether it’s “fair political commentary” was quickly questioned. While 109:8 reads, “Let his days be few; and let another take his office,” the next line is, “Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow,” suggesting far more violent rhetoric than simple criticism. Diana Butler Bass at Beliefnet has explained that Psalm 109 is “considered one of the most difficult of all the psalms — full of violent images of vengeance and death.”

Yesterday, Cafe Press announced that it was again reversing itself and removing all the merchandise in response to strong public pressure

Yes I have, when it tipped on dad he was trapped, he is too heavy and too frail to get up out of it with it tipped, if I wasn't still there watching football with him he would have been screwed. At least with the leg rest extended it doesn't completely flip forward, just tips till the leg rest is on the ground. I figured maybe it was just his bulk and maybe he wasn't scooted far enough back or something. But then when I tried it all I had to do was scoot my butt forward about three inches to make it tip and I weigh about 120 pounds less than he does.

re: #234 Jeff In Ohio

You still sing around cincy? Most of my family is scattered around the area.

Hmmm... in a state where it's been impossible to carry out a death penalty sentence since 1963, New Yorkers seem to have no problem doing it for KSM and the other terrorists that are expected to go on trial in NYC.

An exclusive Daily News/Marist poll found that 77% of New Yorkers agree with President Obama that alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and his four cowardly cohorts will be found guilty in a Manhattan federal courtroom.

"If I'm on that jury, there's no doubt they get a conviction - no doubt," said Larry Amandola, 48, an electrician from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, and one of a dozen regular New Yorkers interviewed separately by The News. "I had a few friends who died on Sept. 11 and I worked [at Ground Zero] immediately after. The people that suffered through this have a right to judge them."

The poll of 811 city residents, conducted Wednesday and Thursday by The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion for The News, did find New Yorkers more evenly split on some underlying policy issues.

For instance, 47% of New Yorkers said they agreed with Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to try the 9/11 plotters in a civilian court here rather than a military court. Nearly as many - 41% - disagreed with Holder, and 12% said they were unsure. The poll's margin of error was 3.5 percentage points.

That pretty well jibes with my take that the City could handle the trial, though I still believe that since the Administration was pursuing tribunals for some of the terrorists detained that it could have done so for all. Since the tribunal was going to be a planned part of the Administration's proposed way of dealing with detainees, KSM and the rest should have gone that route.

Mind you, this poll also could be spun by KSM's defense team by claiming that the jury pool is prejudiced and that he can't find a fair trial (here, or anywhere else, based on the President's prejudicial statements and those of media outlets, etc.). That too should have played into the role of the tribunals, rather than the federal court trial.

The Administration's statements that regardless of outcome, KSM will never see light of day are the ones that should trouble civil libertarians, since it shows that this Administration is paying lip service to the judicial process and is instead going through the motions to appear as though they're doing something different than the prior administration.

Moroever, Obama's promise to close Gitmo will not happen anytime soon since no country will take in the detainees held there that the US doesn't want to hold on to. The mess with Bermuda and Palau show the limits of which nations are willing to take in detainees, and what could happen down the road (as does the fact that all too many detainees that were released have gone back to the jihad).
