Open Thread 5.6.2014

– Antonin Scalia really takes the cake.

– RIP Billy Frank Jr.

– In case you’re wondering why today you’re getting spam from every local charity that you’ve ever given any money to, oh it’s Give Big.

– But while autopsying Goldberg’s prose is fun, let’s not miss the point: while the conservative schtick-of-the-moment about liberals oppressing them is hilarious in several ways, it is useful to remember that these people are natural bullies. As in Goldberg’s case, they demonstrated this in their writing back when their tide was high — and they demonstrate it still on people over whom they still have control, namely the poor, whom they punish sadistically every chance they get. I’d say their bullshit about being oppressed is the result of guilty consciences, if I thought they had consciences.

– I’m of the opinion you can put whatever you want in your garage no judgement.

    Judge Jeanine Howard… Another DUMMOCRETIN Judge gone wild.

    State District Judge Jeanine Howard has recused herself from the case of a rapist she sentenced to five years probation.

    But yet there is more…

    In addition to the sentence, Young does not have to stay away from children, attend sex offender treatment, undergo sex offender evaluation or refrain from watching pornography.

    Seems he admitted to the rape of the 14 year old girl at the time. She illegally considered the girl’s prior sexual history which was incorrect and factually wrong. And after his 5 years on probation, his record is expunged. Can the poor woman expunge the rape from her memory?

    Hey Roger IDIOT Wabbit… another of your kind… You always claim you love your DUMMOCRETINS!

    @1 Thanks for the link. Can you point out where the article says she’s a Democrat? I couldn’t find it. Also, aren’t judgeships normally nonpartisan offices? You know, nonpartisan, like Suzie Hutch? Also, this judge’s sanctimonious moralizing about “virgins” and such sounds more like how Republicans think and talk than how Democrats think and talk. And finally, isn’t Texas a red state that generally elects Republicans to public offices? But then, I don’t expect anything but lame lies from you, putz.

    Yeah, a real one this time. But we had to wait a long time for it. Under your organ grinder monkey, the mistreatment of soldiers and veterans began almost immediately. At least Obama’s pals don’t build showers that electrocute our soldiers.

    From the Washington Post –

    If you compare the costs of the Reagan Administration’s serial security lapses in Beirut to the costs of Benghazi, it’s clear what has really deteriorated in the intervening three decades. It’s not the security of American government personnel working abroad. It’s the behavior of American congressmen at home.

    Kent officer shoots fleeing bicyclist with Taser
    The officer pulled his patrol vehicle into a parking lot to stop the two bicyclists for not wearing helmets. One of the bicyclists stopped, the other one pedaled away.
    The officer again yelled at the man to stop but the bicyclist kept going. The officer then pulled out his Taser and shot the man with a dart. The man fell off the bike. Police ordered the man to stay on the ground. A second officer arrived and the two handcuffed the man.

    The man told police he kept riding because he feared cops after police had used excessive force against him during a previous incident.

    It’s a twofer of police incidents. Guy runs from the police because he’s had previous experience with police brutality. Officer tases him for it. Officer spots cyclist violating the helmet law, causes him to crash. Way to go officer!

    The legislature released their report on education funding in regards to the McCleary decision.

    the authors said no agreement could be reached between the political parties and the two chambers on a payment plan, though several bills to get it done were introduced.”Although none of these bills passed the Legislature, they are meaningful because they show significant work is occurring and because unsuccessful bills introduced in one Legislature may lay the groundwork for successful bills in a subsequent Legislature,” they wrote.

    Nobody is surprised that they accomplished nothing.

    Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn didn’t hide his disappointment.”The 58-page document released today says very little, and is far from complete. It isn’t even a plan,” he said in a statement.”The Legislature isn’t going to take its responsibility seriously unless the Court forces it to do so,” he continued. “I urge the Court to do what it can to keep the Legislature’s feet to the fire, and keep the promises they’ve made to our students.”

    I’m not sure what powers the court has over this issue. Personally I’m hoping for charges of contempt of court and confinement to the chambers until an agreement has been reached.

    Or public whippings.

    @8 In other words, you’re in favor of privatizing street parking, and installing parking meters in front of your home?

    No. I’m in favor of the state using its land for the public good, and not focusing public policy on ensuring free car storage immediately adjacent to one’s home is a high priority in determining how to use that land.

    If I were in charge, I’d probably recommend metering on-street parking wherever it is very hard to get a spot, following the Shoup approach McGinn introduced downtown–price parking at whatever level retains a 10-15% vacancy rate during peak times (recognizing that for many streets, that rate would 0). But I also recognize this is an unpopular policy and, were I a politician, probably not a hill worth dying on.

    What I oppose rather vociferously is neighborhoods restricting development, or forcing new developments to build lots and lots of wasteful parking (thus forcing non-car owners to pay for a spot they don’t need, which is common and expensive). If we can’t be bothered to actually use the space we’ve got to store our cars, we have no business raising the cost of housing to protect our privileged access to a free public resource.

    @17 – I don’t know about that. My young Republican neighbors with two kids in school, tend to always vote for raising school budgets. And I as a Democrat with no kids, like to fuck with them and vote agains increased school budgets. If anyone is going to suffer with budget cuts, we all should suffer, even the Republican who has kids in school.

    We don’t hear much about deficits or the debt anymore. Maybe because the Treasury ran a surplus last month? Gonna be tough for the GOP to run against that. Of course, they’ll try to blame the slow recovery on Obama instead of their own austerity idiocy and fiscal obstructionism.
