Open Thread 1/14

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 1/14/15, 7:56 am

– What could go wrong with catastrophic failure?

– I think we can all agree that when a celebrity talks about her abortion, the important thing to do is to talk about how sad they must be.

– Heads up, Burke-Gilman trail users, there will be closures under I-5 starting in mid-January, so be prepared for the detour.

– A Balloon Juice meetup would be fun.

This moron took the informants out of the Brooklyn Mosque because we can’t “watch them”. Puddy hopes there is no NYC attack otherwise DeBlasio will really pay the price for left wrong looooonacy!

    Worth noting: Aetna’s stock price rose (by more than the S&P 500) after announcing higher wages for low-paid workers:

    Yeah, that must be it. Aetna moves to increase its labor costs by around $40M/yr or so and is rewarded for higher expenses by capitalists. ’cause that’s how markets work.

    Probably has absolutely nothing to do with, um, this:

    Aetna Inc. expects to add more Medicare and public-exchange members in its current quarter than it had previously projected, as the insurer continues to benefit from the new health-care law.

    Ahead of a presentation at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on Tuesday, Aetna backed its per-share earnings outlook for the current year of at least $6.90 a share and its revenue guidance of at least $62 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters are expecting $7.15 a share in earnings on $62.5 billion in revenue.
    …
    Aetna said Tuesday that it expects its overall membership for 2014 will exceed its previous projection of 23.4 million members.

    or this:

    Revenue guidance just missed Wall Street’s $57.7 billion target, which would be a 22.4% increase over 2013’s $47.2 billion.

    Lack of Professional Judgment, Not Religion, Led to Atlanta Fire Chief’s Termination
    January 13, 2015 by HRC staff

    HRC supports Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed’s decision to terminate controversial fire department chief Kelvin Cochran. As extreme anti-LGBT activists attempt to turn Cochran’s case into a rallying cry for religious freedom, let there be no mistaking that the fire chief was fired for poor judgment, insubordination and, according to the final report of the city’s investigation, “erod[ing] trust and […] compromis[ing] the ability of the chief to provide leadership in the future.”

    By the way…Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed is a Christian. Just not a bigoted hyper-religious pinhead like the Atlanta Fire Chief and the puddyfuckwad.

    So let’s identify the hypocrisy of rujaxoffallthetimebuttnuthinappears:

    If the Atlanta Police Chief was Muslim and did this where would your mouth be? SILENT!

    Seems to you libtards you can’t be a Christian at work. So men and women of faith have no place in public management of any kind. That’s a no no! Butt, you can be an atheist and that’s no problem!

    When you read the NY Slimes editorial they claim

    he called homosexuality a “perversion,” compared it to bestiality and pedophilia, and said homosexual acts are “vile, vulgar and inappropriate.”

    That’s not what is book said. He didn’t compare homos to any of those other acts. FACTS are ignored by libtards! From the Slimes editorial

    The First Amendment already protects religious freedom. Nobody can tell Mr. Cochran what he can or cannot believe. If he wants to work as a public official, however, he may not foist his religious views on other city employees who have the right to a boss who does not speak of them as second-class citizens.

    Handing out the book at church is wrong per the Slimes!

    From the investigation

    Union president [Stephen] Borders was unable to offer any examples of maltreatment. He echoed the sentiment of distrust and disgust created by the contents of the book with the representation in the book that Chief Cochran is speaking in his capacity as AFRD Chief. He cited to an example wherein firefighters were disciplined for expressing support of Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy’s stance on homosexuality. In that case, during the height of the controversy, a squad of AFRD firefighters took a group picture showing them in uniform at one of Cathy’s restaurants. One of the firefighters then posted the picture on Facebook expressing support for Cathy’s religious beliefs and his opinion of homosexuality and gay marriage. When a citizen complained, Chief Cochran directed the captain of the squad to initiate an OPS complaint. The complaint was sustained for a work rule violation and the firefighters were given thirty day suspensions. Borders’ opinion was that Chief Cochran should be held to the same standard.

    Except for the virulent DUMMOCRETINS the chief needed to be fired instead!

    Your religious freedom doesn’t give you the right to discriminate.

    Say what you want but it is your actions that are different.

    And own up to and be accountable for the consequences of your freedom of speeck (or hate), such as when someone beats or kills a person (or acts badly) because of your free speech.

    I’m not free to yell fire in a theater – and even if I were, there are consequences that I have to own, like a trampling of people, because of it.

    You are a fucking moron! I have a religion of my own – and you wouldn’t like too much about what my religion has to say about heterosexuals and black people. You wouldn’t allow me to say it, as my religious freedom. Main stream society wouldn’t put up with my relgion’s beliefs.

    The Coming College Decline
    “Frey has calculated that if the U.S. does not improve its college completion rates for young people, the share of Americans holding at least a four-year degree will start to decline as soon as 2020. After that, his model forecasts that the share of college-educated Americans will not climb back to its level in 2015 (just under one-third) at least through 2050.”

    “The reason the U.S. faces the risk of declining educational achievement is its failure to sufficiently respond to the profound demographic change reshaping society. The current school year marks the first time in American history when a majority of all K-12 public school students nationwide are minorities. Minority students already comprise nearly two-fifths of high-school graduates and will reach about half by 2023, the Education Department projects.”

    http://www.nationaljournal.com.....e-20150114

    Poking around on this issue, it seems to be a resources issue, the white kids go to better schools and have more time and money for education, the minority kids get less education and are less ready for college and cannot afford it.

    Speaking of Starbucks cutting back:

    Starbucks lays off undisclosed number of employees at Seattle HQ

    Spokeswoman Linda Mills would not disclose how many people were affected, but said that it was a small portion of the 3,500 employees based in the office. The layoffs started at the beginning of the year and will continue to take place through February.

    Starbucks is targeting jobs “that are no longer aligned to our growth strategy or that have become redundant with other roles,” she said, adding that the layoffs are taking place across the board.

    @53. Only a cheap labor conservative would take joy in the fact that a company is able to hire someone at below a living wage.

    As I have talked about endlessly, the ability to automate jobs, even yours, is coming, and we need to find a way to train people in new needed skills (how are all those loggers doing as VCR repairmen?) or support them if they are unteachable or just simply unneeded.

    It won’t be enough. It’s really scary how fast robotic technology is progressing..

    The profits that will be reaped from practically zero cost labor will just force people and politicians to buckle down and guarantee a livable minimum income for all people.. Better that than social chaos that not even a police state can tamp down.

    LOL! Which happens to be something that more than a couple of klownservative economist heroes have advocated.

    Apart from lifting millions out of poverty, the plans promote efficiency and a shrinking of the federal bureaucracy. No more “79 means-tested programs.” Creating a single point of access would also make many recipients’ lives easier. If they knew they had something to fall back on, workers could negotiate better wages and conditions, or go back to school, or quit a low-paying job to care for a child or aging relative. And with an unconditional basic income, workers wouldn’t have to worry about how making more money might lead to the loss of crucial benefits.

    Strange. At least Ted is trying to emulate the USMC as heroes now, if not back in the day by, you know, by actually serving instead of living with shit in his pants in order to dodge the draft.

    I’m sure Palin will ignore all this and won’t find it “unacceptable and heartbreaking”, just as Ted’s other friend Huckabee ignores his lyrics, somehow not finding them to be “obnoxious and toxic mental poison”.

    “I use the language of USMC heroes,” Nugent wrote back. “you clean it up & call me. till then, STFU & eat your crayons, plz”

    “And if this offends you, then you’re exactly who he’s talking about,” someone else wrote.

    “bingo” Nugent answered.

    Nugent is scheduled to appear on Sarah Palin’s Sportsman Channel show, “Amazing America,” on Jan. 29. Palin, who has a son with Down syndrome, has in the past attacked people for using the slur.

    As Raw Story points out, Palin called for Rahm Emanuel to be fired from his job as White House chief of staff when he reportedly used the phrase “fucking retarded.”

    “Just as we’d be appalled if any public figure of Rahm’s stature ever used the ‘N-word’ or other such inappropriate language, Rahm’s slur on all God’s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities –- and the people who love them -– is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking,” Palin wrote on Facebook at the time.”

    Huckabee’s kids grew up listening to Ted’s lyrics and look at how swell they turned out!

    Puddy,
    Reading up on it, DC experiment is a mixed result, not a glowing example.
    Yes the graduation rate is 12% higher but that’s not saying much, of the 1,000 kids who took advantage of the vouchers, only 500 graduated. The voucher system systemically weeded out the kids with special needs the regular schools have to take and accommodate.
    “students in the voucher program were less likely to have access to special needs services and counselors”
    So the pool of kids in the statics is skewed to the the better performers.
    Also
    “The study concluded that there was no difference in standardized test scores in math and reading between the voucher students and those who applied but didn’t get voucher money.”
    So that’s NOT a conservative success story.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....d-to-know/
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....r-program/

    Vouchers *DO* seem to be cheaper, in the same way that Uber is cheaper, Vouchers avoid all the “costly” regulations and controls that have evolved for regular schools to try to create a level playing field of quality and safety.

    “Hundreds of students use their voucher dollars to attend schools that are unaccredited or are in unconventional settings, such as a family-run K-12 school operating out of a storefront, a Nation of Islam school based in a converted residence, and a school built around the philosophy of a Bulgarian psychotherapist. At a time when public schools face increasing demands for accountability and transparency, the 52 D.C. private schools that receive millions of federal voucher dollars are subject to few quality controls and offer widely disparate experiences.”

    If regular schools would be called failures for that behavior, you can’t then claim voucher schools a success for that behavior without being a hypocrite.

    Better,

    Part of the problem was as soon as DUMMOCRETINS took over the House in 2007, the NEA backed House DUMMOCRETINS wanted the plan immediately killed. So you had families with children in the program and then younger siblings in the worst school district in America Wa DC United School System. Children gravitated down to the least common denominator knowing the program was ending! Did you read the link Puddy supplied? Did you read what some people claimed the reason why the program began to have problems? The standard public school system problem is you can’t get rid of bad teachers because of union protection for sucky teachers!

    Up here our second son had a failure teacher as his first grade teacher. She was a failure as a teacher. He was much further behind his brother who had a great first grade teacher and had her again in third grade. When we saw her in a PTA conference she told us son #2’s teacher was known as a failure throughout the school system but because she had tenure they could not get rid of her even when parents complained. This is why Puddy dislikes unions!

    NY Cops Face Public Backlash For Disrespecting Mayor

    A new poll shows New Yorkers, by a 69-27 percent margin, disapprove of the police unions and police for turning their backs on Mayor DeBlasio.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....d%3D599648

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: While the cops’ action of turning their backs on the mayor is, on a superficial level, just harmless symbolism, in a very real way it’s dangerous insubordination because it’s meant to communicate that the cops disrespect the civilian authority over them. What that implies is they won’t follow the orders of their civilian superiors; they will police New York’s streets in their own way, and become a law unto themselves, answerable to no one. If I were Mayor DeBlasio, I would respond to this with the Reagan treatment, which works like this: “I’m the boss, and you’re fired.”

    One of the biggest, more well known foreign policy libtards has spoken. Will HA DUMMOCRETINS listen? Puddy remembers that lone wolf HA’s crazed databaze buttspigot put forth whom had no gravitas. This guy has DUMMOCRETIN bona fides and well known libtard gravitas. This guy is a well known left wrong member from back in the 1960s with Robert McNamara! http://www.thedailybeast.com/a.....hance.html Wow, the first two paragraphs kick ASS here…

    Here’s why America’s failure to be represented at the Paris unity march was so profoundly disturbing. It wasn’t just because President Obama’s or Vice President Biden’s absence was a horrendous gaffe. More than this, it demonstrated beyond argument that the Obama team lacks the basic instincts and judgment necessary to conduct U.S. national security policy in the next two years. It’s simply too dangerous to let Mr. Obama continue as is—with his current team and his way of making decisions. America, its allies, and friends could be heading into one of the most dangerous periods since the height of the Cold War.

    Mr. Obama will have to excuse most of his inner core, especially in the White House. He will have to replace them with strong and strategic people of proven foreign policy experience. He’ll also need to seed the Defense and State Departments with new top people serving directly as senior advisers to the secretaries. And he also will need to set up regular consultations—not the usual phony ones—with the two key Senate leaders in this field, Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker and Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain, two people who can really improve his decisions and bolster his credibility. Many will be tempted to dismiss these crash solutions as several bridges too far, as simply unrealistic. But hear me out. It can be made much more plausible than it seems at first blush. What’s more, if Mr. Obama doesn’t do something along the lines of what’s proposed here, he and we are in for unmanageable trouble. – PuddyEMPHASIS

    Imagine Obummer without NSA and now UN ambassador Susan Rice, Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, Valerie Rasputin Jarrett or Ben Rhodes or John Effin Kerry or Marie Harf? Replace them with Republicans whom have foreign policy gravitas? Wow! Google “Valerie Jarrett Rasputin” and it’s an interesting read! Gelb has FINALLY seen the light!

    Will the Friday Night Comix dare to place this as the lead lede? Puddy doubts it as truth doesn’t appear around midnight on Friday Nights on HA DUMMOCRETINS! Just some third and fourth tier toilet bowl flushers and morons from the lowest rated cable comedy channel appear each week!

    Six years Real Americans have dealt with the Obummer sadministration (or as some call regime) and it’s change no one can fathom foreign or domestic, eh libtards. Ain’t it great y’all voted for a community organizer whom clearly has Gelb worried? Gelb can’t believe Obummeror Joe BiteME didn’t show up in France! HAHAHAHA! Meanwhile, the rest of the world is on high alert. We just witnessed Belgium take down some of your friends who hate Israel as much as most HA DUMMOCRETINS do! We watched the Charlie Hebdo attack from your friends who hate Israel as much as most HA DUMMOCRETINS do! And Obummer was watching football games in the whitey house! Even Josh Earnest has problems with this one all this week with the stuttering and looking down at his notes at the lectern! What we’ve gotten so far for Obummer’s change has come at a dear cost, and we’re not done paying per Gelb! Wow this is blistering!

    Gelb received his PhD from Harvard so he and Obummer have something in common. While working for McNamara, the Pentagon Papers appeard. Hmmm…? Gelb worked for the NY Slimes so you know he’s a real libtard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_H._Gelb Look at all those libtard awards and groups he belongs to. It’s a long grocery list!

    Remember HA DUMMOCRETINS, Gelb is probably best known for his 10 years as president of the Council on Foreign Relations; that dreaded CFR. CFR publishes Foreign Affairs Magazine, one of the widely read American magazines of the for libtard left wrong DUMMOCRETINS. Gelb has real gravitas!

    Then Gelb has the libtard audacity to name Republican names! “Republicans with sterling records…” as he said! But his coup de grace was Gelb’s inference SoS John Effin Kerry should seek other guvmint work ASAP! Called Effin Kerry quixotic! Wonderful assessment! This guy has some potential here!

    Then Gelb said talk to these gents… Henry Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and James Baker. Oh my people HA DUMMOCRETINS hate with a passion!

    In the end Obummer doesn’t care about the survival of America. He’s transforming America into a third world nation. Libtards scream America is too strong. Should not be the world’s super power. Should not be recognized as the leader of the world. That beacon of light everyone emigrates to for opportunity! He’s destroying that dream and ideal and a real deep seated libtard has finally woken up and said ENOUGH!

    Gelb is now against everything you HA DUMMOCRETINS hold dear! Sadly Gelb took six years to finally ralize what Puddy has been saying for these same six years!

    @97 – regardless of whether christians ever committed any atrocities, it is a stupid argument to say that ISIS is killing gays, but hey we Christians just don’t believe in thier existence and/or happiness, or in their morality. Like that makes everything better. And therefore we our religion is better because we treat them better, but still not equal.

    Like I said, I never committed any atrocities against black people like murder, so I guess I can say for me to call one a nigger or fire them, or discrimnate against them, then that is acceptable.

    Puffy’s brain is his ass – its got shit in it, that he hasn’t shit out in years.

    @89 (continued) Note the lunatic called me a “racist” for posting that NY cops were disrespectful to civilian authority by turning their backs on their (wildly popular) mayor. I don’t get the connection, but won’t ask him to explain it, because I don’t want to get drenched in slobber.

    IDIOT Wabbit misses the point @89! Now why is that? Maybe the FACTS scramble his alzheimer laden brain so bad the fingers type something so strange it’s unbelievable. Those Garner FACTS were proven even by the NY Slimes IDIOT Wabbit. It’s just too bad you are too much of a moron to admit to those FACTS.

    Eric Garner was 6′ 3″ and over 350. FACT! A little black female sergeant gonna get into the mix? FACT! She could have told them to cease and desist with the take down. FACT! She didn’t. FACT!

    Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh you are worse off in 2015 than Puddy originally thought!

    The NYC PoPo Police Force has more minorities on it that whitey. FACT. NY Slimes sez so! Sux to be the continually senile IDIOT Wabbit!

    @106 and calling them disrespectful is being racist, because you know the majority of them are minorities, so therefor you are being a racist.

    Exactly. When he knows he is starting to lose, he doesn’t want to talk. But then can’t resist later to bring up something even more stupid than his original post. But can never defend what he says.

    Again, I never committed atrocities or death to black, so low an behold I can be a racist, so long as no death to them. What a fucking moron he is.

    And to Bob, accusing me of being a sheep. Well, being a sheep isn’t that bad, sometimes you need guidance in this world. The problem is when you are a sheep to the GOP and being mis-guided versus when you are actually being guided.

    Notice the sheep are free to roam when there is no sheep dogs or shepard, but when the Nazis (GOP) are present then the sheep become herded an no longer free.

    Memo Details Objections to Command Center Site

    By WILLIAM K. RASHBAUM
    Published: January 26, 2008

    The New York Police Department produced a detailed analysis in 1998 opposing plans by the city to locate its emergency command center at the World Trade Center, but the Giuliani administration overrode those objections. The command center later collapsed from damage in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.

    “Seven World Trade Center is a poor choice for the site of a crucial command center for the top leadership of the City of New York,” a panel of police experts, which was aided by the Secret Service, concluded in a confidential Police Department memorandum.

    The memorandum, which has not been previously disclosed, cited a number of “significant points of vulnerability.” Those included: the building’s public access, the center’s location on the 23rd floor, a 1,200-gallon diesel fuel supply for its generator, a large garage and delivery bays, the building’s history as a terrorist target, and its placement above and adjacent to a Consolidated Edison substation that provided much of the power for Lower Manhattan.
