Even beyond that, he’s just lying, not caring about facts that don’t fit his narrative, he’s just trying to create chaos, which is oddly what he now accuses Trump critics of doing. Although anti-administration agitation was OK just a few months ago.

Francis really is one of the best things to happen to Catholicism. Didn’t like Benedict much at all- never called him a Nazi but wasn’t a fan. I admired John Paul II more or less due to his experience in WWII and the Cold War.

It has more to do with my weird hangups about numbers and not liking the fact that there is a 3 in my age and it won’t go away for another 8 years than anything else.

I mean, if I had my way I would have just stayed 24 forever. But with the added knowledge and maturity and all that. But just keep the number 24.

27 for me. I was in my best shape that year. I’ve gained some weight back. But then again, this year I’ve felt the best emotionally since I’ve started taking anti-depressants. The Trump stuff would really mess with my anxiety if I weren’t.

1. His budget, according to my Republican Senator (John Cornyn) is “dead on arrival.” This piece of evil offal isn’t going to get anywhere. But the fact that the Trump White House is this sickeningly cruel is disgusting.
2. I am willing to claim Cornyn as my Senator because he is not a moron. I do not agree with him on almost anything but I respect him. He’s a dignified human on the opposite side of a debate we could have over beers one night.
3. Ted Cruz is also a Senator. I do not claim him. I’d say he’s a minion of Cthulhu but i respect Cthulhu. He’s more of a minion of Satan’s personal ass-wiper.
4. I know at night, when the Pope says his prayers, he asks God to help him forgive his enemies and love everyone. And i know, I KNOW, Donald Trump’s face flashes before him, every night, as his greatest challenge to living that faith.
5. I’d have given a year’s salary to watch Pope Francis overturn his desk and yell, “Hypocrites! Moneylenders in the Temple! I will purge this holy place of your filth!”

Didn’t happen, but his facial expressions sure looked like he was thinking about it.

Onward.

I am, perhaps unsurprisingly, in the best shape of my life right now.

I’m running 5 days a week, with my short days being a 5k. Working up to a half for my long day, and 10k for my mids, but not quite there yet.

It’s still a really weird and different thing and there’s a lot I haven’t processed about it yet, not really.

Francis has the easiest smile of any Pope of my life time. How fucking terrible do you have to be to cause him to not smile at all?

Also, can’t wait for all the American (conservative) Catholics to scream about what a heretic Francis is… again.

I think it is a bit of confirmation bias to make judgements based on a snapshot. While I think it is highly likely the Pope finds Trump to be odious and distasteful, I think it would be feeding my own bias to believe a couple of photos the press pool that has a pretty antagonistic relationship with Trump decided to release confirmed that.

It has more to do with my weird hangups about numbers and not liking the fact that there is a 3 in my age and it won’t go away for another 8 years than anything else.

I mean, if I had my way I would have just stayed 24 forever. But with the added knowledge and maturity and all that. But just keep the number 24.

That’s probably true. Just the first few photos I saw made it appear that his Holiness was not particularly happy to be there. I’m sure Francis is a better person than I am, or would be in that situation, so I’m also sure that there will be at least a few photos of him smiling with Trump.

The borders on generations are usually kind of fuzzy. And the experiences of older members of a generation vs younger members of a generation can vary rather dramatically. I was born in ‘78, and my experience as a GenXer is probably vastly different than someone born in ‘65 which is one of the border points between Boomers and Xers (after all, someone born in ‘65 would have been graduating high school when I was 5).

When I reconnected with some of my old camp counselors who I knew when they were young college kids, I was in my mid 20’s, quite a bit older than they were. Now I’m around the same age when we reconnected.

Don’t recall that. We went to the movies on Saturdays a lot, but don’t remember serials.

I do remember that when the Mickey Mouse Show debuted, my brother had Hebrew school at the time it was on, and I tormented him daily because he had to miss it.

And I remember watching the Andy Devine show on Saturdays and running to hide in the kitchen cabinets when Midnight the Cat came on, because that cat freaked me out.

re: #154 KGxvi

The borders on generations are usually kind of fuzzy. And the experiences of older members of a generation vs younger members of a generation can vary rather dramatically. I was born in ‘78, and my experience as a GenXer is probably vastly different than someone born in ‘65 which is one of the border points between Boomers and Xers (after all, someone born in ‘65 would have been graduating high school when I was 5).

Yeah, there is only 6 years between me and my younger brother, but there are certain experiences he won’t ever be able to relate to. Like getting up to change the channel, or having to play with the stupid bunny ears to get a TV signal. Running to the store to pick up a pack of cigarettes for my dad when I was hardly tall enough to see over the counter, piling a bunch of kids in the back of a pickup and taking a ride to the beach. Things that are almost unthinkable now but were pretty commonplace in the 70’s.

It’s good to hear that many LGF members are saying they are growing more liberal as they age.

I think a lot of people think you get more conservative as you get older. Maybe that was true years ago, but since Reagan I think maybe it has changed.

What I do not get is all the college age conservatives. The old cliche was kids in college were always “wet behind the ears” liberals because they haven’t learned anything yet and don’t have ‘stuff’ to protect, etc.

Maybe the fundamental Religious teachings has something to do with it.

One more age-related thought before I actually do some work.

Then it hits me that he’s only one year older than I am and I am gobsmacked. I still work—much of my work involves coast-to-coast travelling and working 17 hour days on the road. And every story I read about his “grueling” 9-day overseas trip just makes me laugh…and then cringe.

I have to admit. I’ve always been more or less liberal but I did want to try to understand conservative ideology but conservative ideology which I’ve never liked has grown more and more ugly. George W. Bush who I never was a fan can speak more candidly about racism and confronting our past than any sitting Republican office holder can. Now, maybe that’s in part because he’s out of office but that also speaks to where the GOP has gone. When i was really young, you had people like Bachmann, Steve King, and others on the local level. They existed in the GOP but they were a small potato. And gradually they started sending tehse folks to the House. Now they’re in the Senate and WH.

You know, I will say this, as much as I get frustrated that my brother doesn’t share my exact views, I’m also glad he’s carved out his own worldview through his own observations. Now, I think he’s wrong on some of this but at the same time, I appreciate that despite being surrounded by left liberals like me, our parents, my other brother and grandmother, he’s more or less found his own belief system. For all their shiting on liberals for being “intolerant”, I never ever see conservatives have any real tolerance for people of differing beliefs. And I mean real tolerance as in acknowledging they have a right to exist, as toxic as I find Milo, I don’t think he should be banned from entry to the US, ditto the Tea Party, these people on the other hand do want to ban thigns they don’t like.

Francis really is one of the best things to happen to Catholicism. Didn’t like Benedict much at all- never called him a Nazi but wasn’t a fan. I admired John Paul II more or less due to his experience in WWII and the Cold War.

I absolutely hated JP2. I watched him speak in Ethiopia about the evils of birth control when kids were literally starving to death hourly (in the 80s). I hated the church until Francis came to be.

I’m really floored by women who make those arguments. Next time, suggest that we go back to a time when women had to get permission from either their husband, or if they weren’t married their father, in order to get credit or a loan, you know, the 1970s.

I’d like to think that us olds here at LGF remember enough of the 50s and 60s (and in some cases the 40s) and then what happened in the Reagan and Bush years…and the truly dreadful shit happening right now.

There’s a legitimate discussion to be had for compromise between liberal and conservative. That is NOT what we have now…now we have dystopia on our doorstep the likes of which we’ve only had hints of before.

Let me add (as I continue to avoid working) that with all the ragging done about selfish/horrible Boomers, the old (like me) Dems I know are all really active, engaged, liberal and compassionate. Yes, there are a whole lot of old conservative assholes, but the old libs are still fighting the good fight.

We have one woman in our Dem women’s group who is 92 and is working this week to organize a Dem group in her retirement community. She is about as feisty and liberal as they come. When we did our women’s history month program last year, she waxed nostalgic about meeting Frances Perkins back in the day!

re: #225 Belafon

My dad is getting more liberal as he gets older.

As for kids getting more conservative, I think what is happening is that the reactionary ones are getting more vocal because they’re not getting to be just rude to minorities or women. They have been energized by Trump’s election, but they’re just more out in the open.

My Michigan uncle was very Republican; he eventually moved to Illinois in 2002 at the age of 80 to live with my mother who was a Democrat. They disagreed on every topic including gay marriage; within a couple years he decided to move out to a nearby retirement community. By the time 2008 came around, he was supporting Obama and this past year, at the age of 94, he was ranting about how anyone could possible vote for Trump. In his case, he would still be Republican if it had remained the party of Rockefeller, John Linsdsay, and the other moderates who cared about people. As has often been said, he didn’t leave the party; the party left him.

They do hate the poor. It’s wanting them to suffer that is the thing. Saw my one SiL do something pretty nice though when we were out having lunch together. We had a leftover taco and she gave it to the first homeless guy she saw. I really like talking to her. I could just see how interested she was (she came over here when she was in high school from Peru) how interested she was in learning more about the Lincoln assassination. She had no idea about the complex plot Booth had planned to create chaos by assassinating Secretary Seward, VP Johnson, and General Grant.

Panera Mac & Cheese tastes fantastic, but a small container is 600 calories with 300 calories from fat, and 1.5g of trans fat. Prego Alfredo rotini has less calories, and a lower fat %, but has a gram of trans fat.

Hmmm… I had the over/under at 22.5 million. What do I win.

The craven fuckers in the GOP will ignore this? You betcha. How could they not?

Or, will they hope Trump screws something else up to take the heat off their continuing failure to do basic math.

Every iteration of Trumpcare is as bad or worse than Obamacare. They cannot provide equivalent coverage to the equivalent number of people. Each GOP version means more people lose coverage, the coverage they have is worse, and the costs are shifted on to those least able to afford them.

That’s exactly what the GOP wants - to get health care off the federal/state/local books, but it means that a lot more people end up dead. And for the GOP that too isn’t a bad thing. That’s a feature, not a bug.

It’s also a recurring feature that the Trumpcare serves more as a tax scheme than a health care program, because none of the GOP seems to know how insurance actually works, let alone health insurance.

Are 12 Step programs considered faith-based? I know there’s the whole “higher power” thing, but I don’t know what that actually means. I do know quite a few people that have worked the steps over the years and most (if not all) have come through clean.

I honestly don’t know a lot about detox programs, but I’m guessing there’s probably a combination of medication and counseling involved in any good rehab program.

Knowing how batshit Price and all the rest of the yam’s posse is, he’s probably talking about the scientology fraud, narcanon or something similar.

Followup on his comments—

The secretary’s comments directly oppose literature from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, a division of HHS. “The goal of medication-assisted treatment is to recover from addiction,” reads “Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opioid Addiction: Facts for Families and Friends.” The literature goes on: “It does NOT replace one addictive drug with another. It provides a safe, controlled level of medication to overcome the use of a problem opioid.”

motherjones.com

and

medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs Price rejects are the “gold standard” for overcoming opioid addiction:
Considered by many experts to be the “gold standard” for overcoming opioid addiction, MAT uses prescription medications like buprenorphine or methadone to reduce cravings, allowing patients to work on the underlying issues leading to their substance use, without the constant pressure of withdrawal.

They might have started as faith-based, but I know a lot of people in 12-step programs who are non-believers and manage to keep their addictions under control for much better reasons than god. It’s a constant fight/struggle, but it’s more actual physical support, and the need/want to be free than any supposed higher power.

Really hard to explain, but essentially it’s that hitting rock bottom thing and where do you want to go from there: just give up or pull yourself out.

“Bulk” at Whole Foods refers to items bought not in a pre-sized container. (They do flours, grains, dried beans, trail mix, etc., as well as grinding peanut butter, etc. in the store, bulk spices, various oils, the works.)

They are expensive. They’re also the place I can reliably find certain types of food and at very good quality, so… every week sees two grocery trips. One to Whole Foods (done for today) and one to Safeway (for everything else, still to be done).

I bought a two wheel recumbent that I cannot learn to ride (selling it now). I need training wheels. Hubby fell off of it the other day. So, while my engineer husband and I were discussing making training wheels I looked at these guys instead.

I rode a delta style (two rear wheels) trike by this company (so comfy!) And a similar recumbent tadpole (two wheels front) and liked the tadpole better. It’s really responsive. But the seat in the Sunseeker is better than any of the others. And I’m not lying down to peddle.

This is another interesting one: are you optimistic or pessimistic with Trump as president? 45% optimistic, 52% pessimistic. Again, to be optimistic, you need to be a Republican (88%), white male (55%) over the age of 50 (49%) with no college education (59%).

No — it’s not Trump. It’s the entire Republican party. After all, it was the Ryan plan, not a plan created by the Trump team. They are going to kill millions of people and they DON’T CARE.

Part of the problem is there are a whole bunch of people who fall in the group of people who will die because of this but don’t realize it and so are cheering the whole thing on.

And some of that is willful ignorance.

I don’t have a solution but I do have a prescription I have to go pick up and another round of grocery shopping to do.

A few years ago there was a study (the seriousness of which I have no idea) that indicates the average MB buyer was 55 years old. It was not the brand with the oldest demographics, but it was high on the list.

Personally, I think Benz is junk. I drove one and was less than impressed. I got a BMW and have only had BMW’s ever since. I was happy to see BMW wasn’t on their list. I’d have called them in a heartbeat. I call companies where I have weight. Having bought five of their vehicles gives me weight. Like canceling the NYT. They tend to listen more when they have money on the line.

re: #362 Hecuba’s daughter

I’ve mentioned previously on this site — the pharmaceutical companies have a lot to answer for; it’s unfortunate that, apparently, the corporate CEO’s and their employees who promote these drugs cannot be held responsible for the crimes they have committed and are continuing to commit against the people of this country.

Not specifically related to opioids, but startling, nonetheless (from last year)

…the pharmaceutical industry is pouring billions into new TV and print campaigns. Ad spending soared more than 60 percent in the last four years, hitting $5.2 billion last year.

…Prescription drugs accounted for nearly 17 percent of total health care spending in 2015, up from about 7 percent in the 1990s

statnews.com

The whole article is mind-blowing. I have kept notes on direct-to-consumer drug advertising over the years, and it is absolutely unfathomable. And remember, the US and New Zealand are the only two countries in the world that allow it.

I have a creeping suspicion that Price isn’t pushing 12-step.

It’s likely “faith-based” is going to mean in a church, with an emphasis on prayer. I suspect this because it’s another method of funneling government cash to religious institutions, which is pretty damn high on the GOP agenda.

It’s not just about Marxist power dynamics and the means of production; this is about a post-Marxist grasping of the cultural narrative, where you render people compliant and participant in their own control. Meiji-Showa Japan, as opposed to Industrial Revolution Europe.

Cutting out secular social institutions makes people desperate and vulnerable; specifically channeling them to get help at religious institutions positions them to experience thought reform. And since they believe the soul is the only important part of a person, it’s not a mark in the “loss” column if people keep suffering or die.

They both have deals right now, looks like the digital edition runs about $100 for the year. Which isn’t terrible, I suppose. I mean, that’s basically in line with the quarter a day I paid in high school/college for the LA Times (who have a deal for about a dollar a week on digital).

And Mark Sanford is feeling his oats (he has actually been pretty sane and outspoken lately. Came out strong against offshore drilling and some other stuff—I’m sure it won’t last, but…)

The most withering criticism came from Representative Mark Sanford, who served in the South Carolina delegation with Mulvaney but rejected the plan’s rosy economic scenarios. “This budget presumes a Goldilocks economy,” Sanford said. “It assumes that the stars perfectly align with regard to economic drivers. Can you guess the last time we had an unemployment rate of 4.8 percent, growth of 3 percent and inflation held at 2 percent?” Sanford informed Mulvaney that it had never happened. He said of 3 percent growth: “It’s frankly not only a myth. It’s a lie.”

Scantily clad? Melania is out and out naked.

Yeah—that was too easy anyway. But as Ivanka is held up as the “classy” one, that cover seemed appropriate—there are others as well, but I’m sick of looking at her insipid face.

re: #428 KGxvi

I keep thinking that I need to spring for a digital subscription to at least one paper. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet, but it’s tempting. Doesn’t seem that expensive, all things considered.

I pay for WaPo & I’m glad.
LGF & Wonkette also.

Going to join TPM soon.

It is not much & we need to support these places, especially in this time.

and I’m sorry…Melania and Ivanka look like they are attending a vampire wedding…

Someone told them it was Goth Week at the Vatican.

re: #277 A wild WITHAK appeared!

I kinda figured that; never shopped there myself, and with those prices, likely never will…

Oh … but … the breakfast buffet, for only $8.49 a pound here in Ann Arbor, contains thick sliced, quality, well cooked, crispy bacon. A product worth far, far more than the price charged. It’s one way you can visit Whole Paycheck and come out thinking you are definitely ahead. Be sure to go right when they open which, here, is eight am.

Before I retired I would buy a box full and be the Bacon Fairy all morning at work.

I well remember (fairly well; at least vaguely, no matter how I try to suppress it) when young women started to call me “sir.” On the bright side, they now feel so safe I can sometimes converse with them.

bumpy night…

[Embedded content]

I wonder if that came from the stripe of garbage weather that passed through the Low Country last night. My little island was under tornado warning (after getting a real tornado earlier in the evening). I spent half an hour waiting out the warning in the downstairs bathroom with an annoyed cat.

I think this crap followed me from Texas… It’s my fault, folks.

Sorry, sorry, only meant to blow up that one thing, sorry

That graphic actually underplays just how bad things are with the GOP plans.

For one thing, the ACA rate after 2016 would have been even lower had the GOP expanded Medicaid instead of fighting it all the way to the Supreme Court and refusing to expand it at the state level. States like TX that refused to expand are states with the highest uninsured rates in the nation.

In other words, the spread would be even greater than it already is because the GOP has actively raised the uninsured rates under the ACA. They want to see the rate rise far higher than it was before the ACA. At the same time, everyone will pay more through higher premiums and costs due to the uncertainties the GOP is inserting into the marketplace, and the GOP simply doesn’t care because it delivers an investment tax cut for the high income earners - aka millionaires like Trump.

Late comment on the age thingie.
61.
18-year-old son WHO GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL TODAY (huge sigh of relief) was appalled, at the age of eight, when I explained to him that in my childhood days we didn’t have computers on our desks, DVDs, VCRs, cell phones, digital cameras, etc. We had to wait till the TV station showed a re-run to watch a particular show or movie. When you took a picture you had to get the film developed to see how it came out. Our phones were hooked into the wall. There was this thing called long-distance rates. There was no such thing as a video game (gasps of horror). There was no such thing as ‘the internet’ (stark incredulity)
“What did you do all day,” asked the little smartass, “play in the cave mud?”
