LYRICS:
Well I’ve been out walking
I don’t do too much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to

And I had a lover
It’s so hard to another these days
These days
Now if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It’s just that I’ve been losing so long

I’ll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving these days
These days
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Don’t confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them

Songwriters: Browne Jackson

Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus  Aug 17, 2022 • 11:09:16pm

Reading the NYT article on the Inflation Reduction Act:

A Detailed Picture of What’s in the Democrats’ Climate and Health Bill

… the NYT goes on about how this is short of the failed Build Back Better plan, etc.

The article makes is sound as if the Democrats just delivered something but not really what was wanted.

Yet, not once is the word “Republican” mentioned.

If only 2 GOP Senators had been onboard, the compromises that Manchin and Sinema forces, and they are compromises, so much more could have been done.

Even if the GOP Senators didn’t like the bill, they could have at least worked more in the compromise to make things work better.

Regardless, American politics never is about getting to the heart of the matter.

And frankly neither does the NYT.

The NYT is under enemy control. Mere incompetence could never be this consistently pro-Republican.

re: #3 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

if Dems hold the House and the Senate, would love to see some broadcast standards introduced regarding News, opinion should be labelled as such, facts should have the corresponding links that make them so.

If nothing else, it would put Fox and all of this both sides bullshit on notice

I’m the same way. Browne is one of the few remaining Laurel Canyon people who can still perform and whose music remains as listenable and relevant today as it did 50ish years ago. How did so much time slip away so fast?

As important as laws and regulation on media content is the idea of educating people (staring with schoolchildren) on how to consume media.

But given the current highly Balkanized and restrictive approach the GOP has to education that will be difficult.

re: #21 No Malarkey!

GOP male legislator who voted for a 6 week abortion ban in his ignorance lost sleep for a week over the damage that law is causing to a pregnant teenager.

Kneejerk reactions and moral absolutism.

Tangential anecdote:

my ex-was a big fan of contemporary country and I recall her bringing home the latest Toby Keith CD, which was dedicated to his Lord and Savior Jesus right there on the back cover, and contained a song “There Ain’t No Right Way to do the Wrong Thing”, an ode to Christian Values and Moral Absolutism…

…and ended with a song called “Running Block (The Bus Song)”, about getting drunk and having casual sex with women in motel rooms.

I honestly think he’s feeling bad for the uterus, the teenager herself is secondary. It’s possible for people to be changed by experiences, but only time really shows how profound that change is, or isn’t. Until then, I don’t give people like him the benefit of the doubt.

The Otero County Commission was also in the news when they refused to certify primary election results because voting machines were used. They had to be threatened with criminal charges before they would certify the election results.

He can get a public defender like the rest of us, and I actually hope he gets a good one, because the case seems pretty open-and-shut and I want his defense to be airtight so that the appeals get smacked down.

He can’t get a public defender in Florida. If you’ve got money in Florida, the judge will demand you make use of it. I still remember a video where a judge is telling an otherwise destitute defendant to sell her jewelry because the state wasn’t providing her with counsel.

That… actually sucks. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I want to see Trump go down in flames, but that is a fundamentally unfair approach to justice. In my American utopia, public defenders would be paid enough to retain as many as necessary, and no one would have to hire a criminal defense lawyer; the state would provide a defender for EVERYBODY, rich and poor alike.

Dan Rapoport: Who is the Putin critic found dead in Washington DC?

An investment banker and one-time nightclub impresario who left Russia after falling out with Vladimir Putin has died of a suspected suicide in Washington DC.

Latvian-American Dan Rapoport, 52, was found in front of an apartment building in Georgetown district just before 6pm on Sunday by Metropolitan Police Department by officers responding to reports of a jumper.

Mr Rapoport was given first aid at the scene by ambulance staff and taken to hospital where he was later pronounced dead, the (MPD) told The Independent in a statement.

MPD spokeswoman Brianna Burch said Mr Rapoport’s death remained under active investigation.

We do not suspect foul play at this time,” she said.

Mr Rapoport’s widow Alena had earlier denied claims that her husband’s death was a suicide.

A police report provided to The Independent showed Mr Rapoport had a cracked cellphone, eye glasses, a Florida driver’s license and $2,620 in cash on him when he died….

And lawyers would only work privately for civil cases.

The idea is that no one should have to fear being sued or charged with baseless accusations in this country, because it’s far too easy to file a SLAPP (which costs money to defend, even if the money is returned later in attorney’s fees awards) or to get someone arrested on trumped-up charges. However that goal gets accomplished, that’s my dream. “Go ahead, sue me” should be something any American can say without fear.

Meanwhile, in Turkey (or Türkiye, depending on your preference):

Turkey’s central bank shocked markets Thursday with a cut to its benchmark policy rate, despite inflation in the country sitting near 80%.

The country’s currency, the lira, slid 0.9% against the dollar, trading at more than 18.1 to the greenback following the news — near a record low.

The country’s main policy rate, which had been at 14% for the last seven months, was cut to 13% in a complete mismatch to what other central banks are doing around the world.

“Another idiotic move,” commented Timothy Ash, a senior emerging markets strategist at BlueBay Asset Management.

“Insane with inflation at 80% and still rising the CBRT cuts rates, against expectations by 100bps to just 13%,” he wrote on Twitter, referring to Turkey’s central bank by its acronym.

Well, then, many happy returns to you.

I’m living on borrowed time, since no man anyone can remember in my family has lived to be as old as me (62). The only older person alive in my family is my mother (82).

As far back as we can trace our family history on either side of my family (complicated by my grandparents and great-uncle fleeing Danzig), no man has ever been “oldest person alive in the family.”

If we go by history, my eldest first-cousin should be next in line (61).

Oh, look, the “perfect phone call” narrative returns. Apparently, his idea of a “perfect phone call” is one in which it “perfectly” stands as evidence of a crime.

The front page of the February 20, 1953 issue of the Sidney Telegraph read: “Potter Child Polio Victim”. The article began: “Cheyenne county’s first polio fatality of 1953 was a 14-year-old boy from Potter who, during the first few days of his illness, gave every indication of having the flu which has been so prevalent in this area.”

The disease, which took the life of the 14-year old youth and afflicted many other area residents in a variety of ways, was poliomyelitis. Poliomyelitis, more commonly known as infantile polio was named because it generally attacked young children and youth in their prime. The effects of the disease had a broad range, many people were not even aware that they were infected. They had few if any symptoms, meanwhile they spread the disease. Others suffered paralysis or even death. Individuals, families, and communities across the country had to face and learn to deal with the devastating emotional, physical, social and financial effects of polio. (more)

Another Time, Another Virus (Western Nebraska Observer, Kimball, April 2, 2020).

This article was written, drawing on the survivors in the family and others in the community to raise awareness about what was then the new Covid-19 pandemic, regarding disobeying public health orders and stigma attached to survivors and family members of the polio outbreak here.

A lot of what is in this article is happening now (and on top of that the antivax morons have allowed polio to return for the first time in forty years in New York).

Tuberculosis is mostly (but not completely) eradicated in First World nations. It remains a serious problem in other countries. On top of that, childhood TB often goes neglected. As such, a paediatric BCG vaccine has been made available.

The BCG vaccine against TB is not used in First World countries because it renders the Mantoux Test (the tuberculin skin test) useless.

No credible attorney would want Trump as a client. He’d refuse to listen to counsel and of course, he’d stiff them to boot. Even the fictional Saul Goodman would decline representing Trump.

The Christian right sees attacks on Trump as religious persecution (KCRW, NPR, Santa Monica, Calif.)

And they’re dragging the rest of Christianity down with them and accellerating abandonment of their faith since so-called moderate church organisations refuse to speak up against them (though individuals do).

After the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, Evangelical leader Franklin Graham appeared on the Trinity Broadcasting Network to give a full-throated defense and endorsement of Donald Trump. He detailed the search of the former president’s residence as “an attempt to keep him from running in the future.” Other leaders from the Christian right described the raid as evidence that they’ll soon be the targets of religious persecution.

Dan Rapoport: Who is the Putin critic found dead in Washington DC?

An investment banker and one-time nightclub impresario who left Russia after falling out with Vladimir Putin has died of a suspected suicide in Washington DC.

Latvian-American Dan Rapoport, 52, was found in front of an apartment building in Georgetown district just before 6pm on Sunday by Metropolitan Police Department by officers responding to reports of a jumper.

Mr Rapoport was given first aid at the scene by ambulance staff and taken to hospital where he was later pronounced dead, the (MPD) told The Independent in a statement.

MPD spokeswoman Brianna Burch said Mr Rapoport’s death remained under active investigation.

We do not suspect foul play at this time,” she said.

Mr Rapoport’s widow Alena had earlier denied claims that her husband’s death was a suicide.

A police report provided to The Independent showed Mr Rapoport had a cracked cellphone, eye glasses, a Florida driver’s license and $2,620 in cash on him when he died….

Well — who from the Russian embassy was lurking in the area? Defenestration is Putin’s favorite method of dispatching local critics. Doesn’t he usually resort to polonium for those elsewhere? Or maybe the job was contracted out to a MAGAt?

It sucks when your on-screen talent drinks their mind away, letting everyone down. It’s worse when that addled person can’t remember that they lost their job and other people’s jobs due to their drinking.

Wendy Williams often appeared incoherent in the months leading up to the cancellation of her talk show, and then had to be repeatedly reminded that the program had been axed, according to a new report that sheds light on her battle to stay on the air.

Why the 58-year-old host of The Wendy Williams Show didn’t return to her iconic purple chair last fall continues to haunt fans of the daytime gossip queen. Williams has cited complications from Grave’s disease and lymphedema, but the two conditions don’t fully explain her increasingly bizarre speech seen in several interviews over the past year.

“To this day, we don’t know truly what the issue is,” Lonnie Burstein, an executive at Debmar-Mercury, the production company behind The Wendy Williams Show, told The Hollywood Reporter.

Sources said Williams spent the summer of 2021 in and out of hospitals but continued to insist she was fine, even as it became clear to those around her that her once-sharp mind—which for 13 years kept viewers entertained every day for half an hour of unscripted shit-talking—was faltering.

Imagine a law getting abused in Oklahoma. Shocker, right? //

Under a law in Oklahoma that charges someone who knew about abuse but didn’t report it, women are getting 30 years in prison for failing to report, while the actual abuser, is getting probation:

King told the nonprofit newsroom that her ex-boyfriend, John Purdy, abused both her and her daughter, but she didn’t find out about the harm done to her child until she noticed bruises on her child’s legs that Purdy said were the result of a fall.

King said she later caught Purdy with his fingers around the child’s neck and punched him. He retaliated, slamming King’s head against a wall and forcing her to hold Lilah down to be spanked, the mother said.

King told Mother Jones she later threw her body over her daughter to protect her. “I was scared,” she said. “I didn’t know what to do.”

King was sentenced to 12 years longer than Purdy.

…

“It’s sexism,” Lambert said. “It’s the assumption that women are responsible for all the goings-on in the home.”

I agree that it sucks, but it’s not really relevant to the case, since the state of Florida isn’t going to be charging him. I don’t know how the federal government goes about providing for indigent (or in tfg’s case, undesirable) defendants.

Probably because there were only 2 weeks left in the Presidency and the legal battle over the 25th would have taken far more time than his remaining period in office. The 25th was written because of concerns about a president who has been severely disabled due to causes either natural (e.g. stroke) or external. They never considered a traitor who was behaving in a totally predictable fashion based on his psychology — even the (justly) despised Bill Maher had been saying for years that Trump would not leave the office willingly.

They’re also perverts.

These are the same thing.

All versions of the core premise “your body is not your own” lead to the same, predictable set of abuses of that premise, and all justifications of authority open the door to some version of “your body is not your own.”

Reversing the perspective, if you believe you’re entitled to one form of control over another person’s body and can construct a justification that circumvents your constraints as patriarch/spiritual leader/parent/doctor/etc, it is very easy to invent a justification for asserting ownership of their bodies in a different way.

Masculinity itself is this kind of structure: supposedly there are duties and constraints but the absolution granted by male authority—the way that the directives of masculinity are broad, and the accountability low as longer as you punch down the hierarchy—means you can probably get away with horrible abuses of power

Fetterman has confirmed the financial backing from his parents during his time as mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, and said that it allowed him to work full-time in the position for several years.

According to OpenSecrets, Fetterman’s father, Karl Fetterman, gave more than $100,000 to The 15104, the single-candidate super PAC that was backing his son’s campaign in 2016.

Fetterman was hailed by a voter as “our blue collar tough guy,” a phrase that Fetterman has used in ads and Oz claims is false advertising from the Democratic candidate.

Abortion remains illegal in Kentucky for now. Oral argument is scheduled for one week after Kentuckians vote on the Constitutional Amendment which would hold there is no right to an abortion in the Kentucky Constitution, so a Yes vote would moot the case, and a No vote would tell the Court that voters believe the Kentucky Constitution should protect abortion rights.

What’s this stuff about Fetterman talking money from his parents all about? Anyone know?

The bulk of it seems to be just political-campaign bullshit, but a quick leaf through John Fetterman’s bio shows that - despite his roughneck persona - he comes from a fairly affluent background (his father made $ in insurance), and that he did receive a sort of subsidy from his folks during his time as Mayor of Braddock (a virtually unsalaried post).

Fetterman’s story seems to me to be one that one would think to be otherwise admirable: someone from the affluent class who turned away from money-making per se to devote his life to public service (and not in the condescending noblesse-oblige style of say, a Mitt Romney) - but there we are.

re: #137 Hecuba’s daughter

Probably because there were only 2 weeks left in the Presidency and the legal battle over the 25th would have taken far more time than his remaining period in office. The 25th was written because of concerns about a president who has been severely disabled due to causes either natural (e.g. stroke) or external. They never considered a traitor who was behaving in a totally predictable fashion based on his psychology — even the (justly) despised Bill Maher had been saying for years that Trump would not leave the office willingly.

Plus the people Trump put in his cabinet put their loyalty toward Trump over their loyalty to the Constitution. It is unlikely the required number of cabinet members would have voted to impose the XXV Amendment anyway.

That is a flaw in the amendment, since it doesn’t consider craven Cabinet members.

On top of that, even if they did declare him unfit, the only requirement is to send a letter to the Speaker of the House saying from him saying he is fit, and the sanctions of the amendment are ended.

I love the idealism of this statement, but it really falls into the same category as “Why didn’t Sally Hemings just stay in France?” The man is abusive. How much do you think he abuses the wife. And, as I’ve seen living here in Texas, it can actually be hard to prove abuse in a state that thinks the family is the core and the wife must submit.

No, I’m not saying the woman should get off, but this law has been seriously abused.

Good intentions gone wrong.

BATON ROUGE (AP) — Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation and homeowners of the houses built by the program, in an area of New Orleans among the hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina, have reached a $20.5 million settlement.

The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported Wednesday that, pending approval by a judge, each of the program’s 107 homeowners will be eligible to receive $25,000 as reimbursement for previous repairs of the shoddy homes.

Under the settlement reached Tuesday evening, the remaining money is to be divided up according to the condition of each of the structures.

The settlement represents a major milestone in the long-running saga of homes beleaguered by leaks, rot and other defects.

In 2007, two years after Katrina devastated Louisiana’s most populous city, the Hollywood celebrity founded the futuristic housing development organization.

The goal was to replace lost housing in the city’s flood-ruined Lower Ninth Ward with 150 avant-garde dwellings that were storm-safe and energy-efficient. The homes were made available at an average price of $150,000 to residents who received resettlement financing, government grants and donations from the foundation itself.

The project was praised initially, but 10 years and more than $26 million later, construction had halted. Residents reported sagging porches, mildewing wood and leaky roofs.

Why didn’t you stop me them?

Somebody has to be punished severely, but it can’t be the person that has the greater power and authority, because that would suggest both that (1) there is accountability, (2) that there’s maybe something broken with the system that sustains this kind of authority.

Physical abuse flows naturally from the premise of who men are supposed to be within a family structure: the father is the disciplinarian and in charge, and therefore some amount of violence is to be expected. The same model proposes woman-as-wife-and-mother as appeaser of the husband and conscientious throttle. In this model it is a greater cultural transgression to be a woman who fails to stop her man than it is to be a man who can’t stop himself.

Here we have a referendum coming up on the November ballot to impose mandatory ID to vote by mail-in ballot (which is mandatory in the rural areas of the state). Putting that on our ballot was mostly paid for by out-of-state right-wing and libertarian outfits.

Notably, our state AG supports it. That would be the same AG who entered Nebraska in attempting to overturn elections in other states in 2020. Our state Secretary of State also support it, the same Secretary of State who said in 2020 that our mandatory mail-in system is secure, but other states are not.

I’m not sure what they hope to accomplish with a mandatory ID for mail-in ballots (presumably you’d have to photocopy the ID to include—the nearest photocopier to me is sixteen miles away). All that information is already on file with the state. It seems that it would suppress the rural vote in my state, which is overwhelmingly conservative.

That is frequently used by Evangelicals “covered in the blood of Jesus,” or “washed in the blood of Jesus,” though all other sects use it as well. The phrase refers to the alleged torture and crucifixion of Jesus as atonement for everyone’s sin (taking the Jewish idea of a scapegoat and making God a scapegoat).

Most Protestant denominations consider it a memorial or remembrance (“do this in remembrance of me”).

In the Orthodox Church it is called the “Sacred Mystery” and called trans-elementation or change.

Martin Luther wrote about transubstantiation in two books, arguing that what the Eucharist really represented was the presence of Christ with those participating, rather than literally transforming wine and bread. The clunky term “consubstantiation” was applied by other later Protestant sects to disparage Lutherans.

Under Henry VIII in England, acknowledgement of transubstantiation carried the death penalty, mixing politics and religion.

The United Kingdom passed the Test Act in 1672, which specifically required a government official to deny transubstantiation to hold office. That act was repealed in 1828.

US student makes $110m profit trading meme stock Bed Bath & Beyond (The Guardian)

A 20-year-old US university student has made a $110m (£91m) profit with a one-month bet on the meme stock Bed Bath & Beyond.

Jake Freeman and his family bought almost 5m shares in the struggling US homeware retailer at less than $5.50 a share in July for a total outlay of about $25m.

After an almost 500% increase in the shares, sparked by intense chatter about the stock on Reddit message boards, including several posts by Freeman, he sold them for more than $130m - crystallising the vast profit.

They rose as high as $28 on Tuesday, when Freeman is understood to have sold most of his stake. The Bed Bath & Beyond shares, which trade on the ticker BBBY, dropped to $23 on Wednesday, and were down a further 14% in pre-market trading on Thursday to $19.70.

(more)

Note he started with $25 million. That would mean he suckered a bunch of people with far less into essentially a pump-and-dump scheme. This is similar to the Game Stop crap from last year.

But Republicans were good people in 1865. Why won’t you give the racist Conservatives credit for what the party was when entirely different people were in charge?

And then they abandoned the blacks in the South in 1876 in order to hold on to the presidency. The dueling set of electors scheme was successful back then; all they had to do was sell their soul. And it worked out brilliantly for them, not so much for the former slaves.

re: #152 No Malarkey!

The GOP, the current home of neo-Confederates, wants credit for the last good thing it did nearly 160 years ago.

Let’s be fair. The GOP did a bunch of wonderful things during Teddy Roosevelt’s admin (national parks, FDA, trust-busting — 120 years ago) and then a bunch more under Eisenhower (interstate highways, troops to Little Rock, Earl Warren — 70 years ago). I’ll even give them credit for stuff Nixon did in between criming (EPA, OSHA, Title IX, Title X — 50 years ago).

About Weisselberg:

In a stunning turn of events, Allen Weisselberg, the loyal and years-long chief financial officer of former President Donald Trump’s family business, pleaded guilty Thursday to 15 counts of tax fraud. But that’s not the best part: He has additionally agreed, per his plea deal, to testify at trial against the very company he’d staunchly refused to testify against.

According to a press release from the District Attorney of New York’s office, Weisselberg was sentenced to five months in jail, to be served on Rikers Island, and five years probation, “contingent on his [Weisselberg’s] testifying truthfully in the upcoming criminal trial of the Trump Organization by providing truthful testimony as to the facts underlying his allocution and plea.”

The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and allow states to decide their own stances on abortion access has led 16 states to cease nearly all services. An economic fallout may come next,” ABC News reports.

“Abortion rights advocates have said that the lack of access to reproductive care can lead to poverty or debt and pregnancy can be expensive… Abortion restrictions also disproportionately affect women of color… That study also declared that ‘currently employed women aged 15 to 44 would gain $101.8 billion in higher earnings annually if all state-level abortion restrictions were eliminated.’”

They don’t want women working, certainly not earning more, or, worst if all, being independent.

I’ve got 17 years of boxer ownership under my belt. I’d show you my shocked face, but I think Boo grabbed it and is running around the backyard with it right now.
