There’s something great, or at least stereotype challenging, about the fact that Seattle’s Marxist City Council member organized a meeting for business owners to complain about city government. Specifically figuring out construction mitigation on 23rd Ave. I know, I know, it’s for small businesses, and representatives of the 23rd Ave Starbucks, for example, probably wouldn’t be welcomed.

There is nothing contrary to socialism in helping businesses. The way I see it, socialism is a fair blend of healthy business and healthy public. Each benefiting from the other. It’s not some competition. It’s not about state control of everything. It’s about the state as arbitrator for the health of all. The system we have is unbalanced. The people do not get a fair shake under our system. The rich are literally getting away with murder by undermining our people’s well being.

Dissecting the Scalia conspiracy theories …
1. An autopsy wasn’t done at the family’s request.
2. Texas law allows a judge to declare a person dead over the phone.
3. The ranch owner has clarified that “pillow over his head” means “pillow above his head against the headboard,” not “pillow over his face.”
4. Local law enforcement officials say there was no evidence of foul play.
5. “Scalia kept his health issues private. ‘By the time you’re 79, most people will have some degree of heart disease,’ said Dr. Barron Lerner of the Langone Medical Center at New York University. ‘It’s rumored that he did not have shoulder surgery because it would have been too risky, which suggested he might have more severe heart disease than what was thought before.'” Scalia, in fact, died of a heart attack.
6. He was 16 days away from his 80th birthday for chrissakes.

I’ve always thought the typical right wing, knee jerk criticism of socialism was fundamentally off base, and generally missing the point.
In our economic system that the right clings to, all claims to private property rights arise from the state and depend entirely upon the state for their protection. Of course having established a private property right through the state, any owner is free to defend it by their own private means. And in many cases they are wise to do so (I know I’ve got locks on my doors). Moreover, a pretty considerable portion of the infrastructure necessary to production is owned by the state. The state owns the airports, sea ports, roadways, lots of utilities, the courts, and the civil law making authority. Try to employ a privately owned means of production without those things and you probably won’t get very far.
As any good capitalist will be happy to remind us, ownership entails risk. Too many capitalists are happy to externalize the riskier elements of private production onto the state and society. Only to turn around and demand that society forfeit any claim to social reward arising from shouldering that externalized risk. Fuck that. Every member of society should see that for what it is, and reject it without serious consideration. But capitalists are very good at making threats and buying influence.
So our system shares ownership of the means of production between the state and private citizens cooperatively. The debate concerns the point of balance and the obligations of cooperation. But since the state, representing the collective wishes of the governed, gets to decide the limits of how private property is employed, those limits should be set to ensure that society benefits. And so long as that is the objective, there’s nothing contradictory about a socialist cooperating with private capital.

In Oklahoma, all gun sales are limited to 18 and older. But minors are probably permitted to possess. I’m just too lazy to check about OK.

Rubio, irrespective of his positions, has many things going for him:
1. He’s Floridian. As long as he stays relevant, even if he doesn’t win, he could carry Florida. Think VP. Someone from FL needs to be on the ticket (see my previous mentions) and Jeb! won’t be in the second spot.
2. He’s Hispanic, and bilingual without having to crash-course it a la Julian Castro. It would be quite memorable to see Rubio switch from English to effortless Spanish mid-sentence in his acceptance speech, and again in his closing remarks during the third debate.
3. Because he’s Floridian, he’s about the only candidate other than Jeb! who can pick a woman for the VP slot without risking Florida’s electoral votes (right now I cannot come up with a noteworthy national GOP figure who is female and is from FL). So Rubio could pick a Nikki Haley (see today’s news item from SC), or any of the other competent GOP women I’ve mentioned previously. An Hispanic candidate in the top spot and a woman in the second slot for the GOP isn’t a whole lot different than a Hillary/Castro ticket.
4. He is a good-looking and young individual. That seemed to have some appeal in the 2008 election, as I recall.
5. He has a very good-looking family. First Lady.
6. If he’s relatively inexperienced, that deficit may be at least partly neutralized if Julian Castro is the Democrats’ VP pick. It’s harder to trash Rubio as inexperienced without implicitly trashing Castro at the same time and for the same reason.
Those are reasons for the GOP to be interested in Rubio, and they don’t have anything to do with his political positions in contrast with those of other primary GOP candidates.

With the tables turned, Obama now ‘regrets’ his 2006 Alito filibuster
“What the president regrets is that Senate Democrats didn’t focus more on making an effective public case about those substantive objections,” Earnest said. “Instead, some Democrats engaged in a process of throwing sand in the gears of the confirmation process. And that’s an approach that the president regrets.”
At the time, Obama told ABC News that he supported the filibuster “because I think Judge Alito, in fact, is somebody who is contrary to core American values, not just liberal values.” Obama said the court needed to “provide some check on the executive branch, and he has not shown himself willing to do that repeatedly.”
http://www.usatoday.com/story/...../80514152/
So the door is open for the GOP to object to Obama’s eventual nominee based upon lack of core American values, not just conservative values. And to the nominee’s inability to provide a check on the executive branch.
Well, that should be simple enough.

@18,
looks like very good tactics to me. Since the President and Senate Democrats have no legal leverage, the strategy has to be incremental political embarrassment. One smart move in such a case would be to publicly express remorse for your own past transgressions. This costs the President nothing. But puts the ball in Grassley/McConnell’s court (no pun intended). If the President gets voters and teevee idiots agreeing with him that “obstructionism” is regrettable bad form, then the onus is on Senate Republicans to explain themselves. Again and again. They’d rather not have to do that. For Senate Republicans, the less they talk about any nominee, the better. Either they soften and give the nominee a hearing, or they dig in and look like assholes.
Much of the punditry around this kind of thing is bound to be flawed. Modern political pundits (those that aren’t themselves former politicians) have some key traits in common with politicians. One of those traits is an inability to experience humiliation or embarrassment. Politicians, and media attention seekers find it easy to bounce back and keep going after humiliating setbacks that would paralyze mere mortals. Ask David Vitter. But shame is something regular folks swim around in every day. They grew up with it, at home, at school, in church. They get it. Embarrassment resonates with voters. Pundits, jornos, and politicos usually tend to under-measure in real time the impact of embarrassment or humiliation.
Of course Senate Republicans don’t want to allow Obama to make another Court nomination. They’ve undoubtedly game planned all this. And they stand to bring in tons of money from it. But what they may not have a good grasp of is how it will make them look to voters in November.

“On the fourth of August 2010,” the manager continues, as the beautiful young reporter walks around the luxurious and spacious rooms, “the U.S. president celebrated his 49th birthday, and the very same day his spouse, Michelle Obama, arrived for her vacation in Spain. Here is her room.” Not ceremoniously, the reporter touches the silk sheets and very rare travertine marble. “Here are the official numbers: for the week starting August 4, 131,000 Americans were fired, losing their incomes and jobs. At that moment, Michelle Obama was on vacation, and the taxpayers were paying $6,000 a night for this hotel suit.”

Omaha Deputy Police Chief Dave Baker: As a local law enforcement agency, we’re not empowered to enforce federal immigration laws however, we do work with the immigration authorities on a federal level. In this case, the individual, Mr. Mejia, was in our country illegally. He was from Honduras. We do attempt to make sure the judge is aware the individual is in the country illegally, not on the basis of whether the individual is guilty or not guilty. It does not effect what charges they are charged with on a local or a state basis. It has to do with whether or not there is a flight risk. Our accident investigator did request a detainer; however, one was not issued or granted prior to him bonding out. His brother did bond him out before the detainer was issued. My understanding was that he was bonded out fairly quickly.

Looks like the Democratic nomination contest is turning into a genuine horse race:
“U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the self-described ‘democratic socialist,’ has drawn within striking distance of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the national race for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. The survey, taken after Sanders ran even with Clinton in the Iowa caucuses and then routed her in the New Hampshire primary, shows Clinton with a 53 percent lead among Democratic primary voters to 42 percent for Sanders. She held a 25 percentage point lead a month ago.”
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/02/18.....-poll.html
Roger Rabbit Commentary: I believe what this reflects is that Bernie is likable and Hillary isn’t, and Democratic voters don’t care all that much about ideology. It’s really beginning to appear Sanders could actually be the Democratic nominee.

Deep down you know it sucks, butt being the lemmings y’all are you keep your mouths shut. Typical! And Europeans have a much different view of the human body and sex. That’s why the age of consent n many countries is low.
In Europe, the Netherlands has no sodomy laws, the age of sexual consent is 16 for all, sex between an adult and a young person between the ages of 12 and 16 is permitted by law, as long as the young person consents. Other countries who have the age of consent set at 16 include Cyprus, Finland, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland. For Austria, Germany, Portugal and Italy it is 14, and in France, the Czech Republic, Denmark, and Greece it is 15. Spain did have one of the lowest ages of consent on the continent at just 13, but recently agreed to raise this to 16.
Meanwhile The Philippines has the lowest age of consent in Asia at just 12 years old – an age shared by Angola, Mexico and Zimbabwe. A Japanese law allows for consent at age 12, but this only applies to metro Tokyo.

What we did was wrong and we belatedly acknowledged it was. Our government deprived them of freedom and property and that was wrong and the victims received compensation. The Supreme Court and Congress made amends. Still those amends are small in light of the wrong done needlessly out of misplaced fear and racism. Seems we keep having to relearn the same lesson a little common sense, respect for others, and actually applying State Constitutions and the US Constitution….but we can’t seem to do that so business is good for the ACLU.
