You know how it’s always been, “those are just political differences”.
No longer. Destroying democracy is more than just a political difference.

This organization has much to teach the rest of us how to solve our hunger problems. And points out where the food deserts are. Getting food that will be tossed away to hungry humans is a problem our system has to figure out. Food is a human right, anyone who says otherwise is a monster.

I was just breezing through a few of the comments in the last thread and saw that Nyet posted something about Russian workers/gangsters who sit on their heels. That’s called “unko-zuwari” in Japan, or “poop squat.” It’s a definite identifier of membership in what used to be called “yankii” (Yankee) culture. These were the men and women from lower economic means who liked shitting on cultural mores of the elite classes through dress, defiant language and acts, and squatting. I need to look up how they came up with “Yankee” because they tend to be uninformed ultra-nationalists who don’t much care for foreigners. I’m guessing it goes back to a kind of 1950’s Rebel without a Cause aesthetic they used to mimic (see also bōsōzoku), but I don’t know.

JFC. We have a new TV line up somehow, we have an Amazon Fire Stick thing, and there’s a bunch of apps and crap on it, don’t ask, The Husband figured this out, not me. Anyhow, the app we use for regular network and various cable channels has Info Wars. I was looking for something to watch scrolling through channels and fucking Roger Stone was on, wearing an Info Wars T-shirt. That’s someone else I wish was rotting in a dirty prison cell. He’s a toxic waste dump with feet.

re: #186 Barefoot Grin

When Limbaugh dies I guarantee his obits will be filled with words like “divisive” and “controversial” and “firebrand.” But you won’t see “racist” or “fabulist.”

One thing about Limbaugh that I personally think should have gotten more attention: He is practically a poster-child for what I call the hinterland gentry, the class of hereditary elitists who control business and politics at the local level. These people, aka the local elites, are the heart and soul of the Republican Party, and the source of much, if not most, of the injustice and abuse in this country, from front-line racism to the careful manipulation of the white working class.
Rush comes from a distinguished family in Missouri, known as the “first family of Cape Girardeau.”
His grandfather, Rush Limbaugh Sr., was a lawyer and judge and at one time was the oldest practicing attorney in the US. His father, Rush II, was also a judge and lawyer, as are many of his cousins and uncles. Rush III was initially something of a black sheep for pursuing a media career, but he has devoted himself ever since to the preservation of hereditary class privilege, which is perfectly in keeping with his lineage and family status.

It has occurred to me that liberals and reformers may have concentrated too much on billionaires and Wall Street elitists as enemies of the people (though they truly are such), and not enough on the much more numerous and influential “hinterland gentry” who bring privilege and the destruction of potential competitors right down to the personal level. Their effective control of education is a massive source of national grief by itself.
They certainly have an alliance of convenience with Wall Street and the billionaire class, but it is just a convenience and the two groups truly despise each other.

Every community has its local bosses and, unlike the Wall Streeters, they are under desperate pressure and have been since the 1960s.
Equality affects them personally and brings in competitors who could previously have been disregarded, federal regulation inhibits their exploitative business practices, affecting the bottom line in ways that a billionaire can shrug off but that might cost a lower level fatcat his business and all important local status. Generational decay is also a very real issue in this demographic, highlighted by the influx of formerly suppressed competition. We all know the crooked but smart local boss whose children turned out to be drooling idiots or navel-gazing dilettantes.

There may be an illuminating example in the French Revolution. National figures like Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette went to the guillotine in some numbers to be sure, but it was the local and regional aristocracy and its stooges who provided the bulk of the headcount. They were the main targets and it was the massive and permanent damage to their status that turned a bloody uprising into a true revolution.

I’ll look. I haven’t lived there since 2002 (though I’ve been back several times with students). I lived in a town where the bosozoku motorcycle gangs rode through past my apartment several nights a week in Nara Prefecture, so it was still a kind of social issue back then; and there were even magazines dedicated to the concerns of yankiis, their fashions, etc. There’s a great but way too old book called Speedtribes that covered all of the fringe communities in the 1980s and early 90s.

In any other decade, shit like this would be the death of a political party:

Bits like this always get me:

Most people calling the Post said that they are “not political,” and they can’t understand how elected officials could celebrate the holidays while 14 million Americans are about to lose unemployment and millions more will lose their homes after the first of the year.

Perhaps if you got “political” and started voting like your livelihood depends upon it, then you wouldn’t find yourself shocked that the people everybody else voted for don’t give a fuck about you.

Nope. They’re getting angry at the wrong people. They should be storming the GOP offices nationwide, since it was the GOP that refused to act. They’re the obstructionists.

And the WaPo and other media outlets still both sides the fuck out of everything because they’ll say Congress failed, when it was GOP that refused to act or blocked action or blocked action for almost 6 months.

Democrats did their part. The GOP didn’t care. They never have.

And that media obfuscation is the reason that we’re so truly fucked going forward.

No. Allegations of fraud have been specifically confined to media appearances, the legislative non-sworn-testimony circuses, and Twitter. Every legal appearance has refused to allege fraud, and in fact, when directly asked, Trump attorneys have specifically *denied* allegations of fraud.

Just want to say Merry Christmas and/or whatever you might be celebrating.

My holiday tradition is watching Sports Night. This time of year, there are articles about “what’s the best Christmas episode” on various tv shows. I’ll put up “Six Southern Gentlemen from Tennessee” as a clear favorite. It’s not really “Christmassy,” but it’s powerful and touching and damn, Aaron Sorkin can write.

Have a good one, everybody. And can 2020 be over already?

Meanwhile, while nobody was watching, one or more Secret Santa(s) contributed enough for ELEVEN one year ad-free subscriptions. I didn’t want to play favorites with these gifts, so I scanned the DB for the users who were not subscribed or had a manual subscription (not Paypal) running out soon, then ran a short script on it to pick 11 users at random. And here’s the list of our lucky ad-free winners:

gocart mozart
A Three Hour Tour
danarchy
oaktree
Cheechako
efuseakay
Unabogie
decatur deb
mracb
IngisKahn

Please enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

And Merry yourself! Though “while no one was watching” - there are actually twelve names on the 2020 LGFSS list: did Rudolf sneak one in on the sly…?

hi

Messiah Lutheran Church (the church across the side street from me) did their annual Christmas Eve church dinner as a drive-through pick-up due to the pandemic this year.

For such a small town there was a lot of traffic today; I would estimate about 250 cars came through the line. A traffic jam is a rare sight in our village.

While they were doing their best for disease control (masks, gloves, sanitiser, &c), I really hope someone didn’t bring Covid-19 into town. I guess we’ll find out in a couple weeks.

Reading over the last few threads, I see lots of people encountered long waits for Chinese take-away today. I’m not sure what the waits would have been like at the three Chinese restaurants today in the Panhandle (they are all sixty miles away and I’m not driving that far to check).

The diner here in town is doing a burger, fries, and booze takeaway this evening.

Pence is in Vail right now skiing, then he goes to the Middle East for a “avoid the shitstorm, PT II” junket.

And yes we’re all shocked that Trump is in fact not making lots of calls and holding lots of meetings today.

Good thing the wind is from the north here, so we don’t have to smell the stench of evil.

David Schuler’s online Christmas card, an homage to the health care industry, involves a drone photograph of 600 head of cattle lined up in the shape of an electrocardiogram readout and a heart.

Watch Now: Western Nebraska rancher sends season’s greetings to health care workers — with help from cows (Goes to the Scottsbluff, Nebr. Star-Herald)

The article also includes journalist picks for interesting Christmas displays in Scottsbluff, Gering, and Torrington)

Nebraska rancher David Schuler says he has always been bored with straight lines and by coloring inside those lines, so to speak.

Suffice it to say, he’s creative — even if he’d never dare call himself artistic.

“If I took a pencil to a piece of paper and tried to draw something, it would come out as chicken scratch,” said the 25-year-old Bridgeport native with a laugh. “I’m just not blessed in that area.”

Many would argue that point.

His online Christmas card, an homage to the health care industry — a drone video of 600 head of red Angus lined up in the shape of an electrocardiogram readout and a heart — has gone viral after being posted on Facebook on Wednesday night.
