Open Thread 6/19

by Carl Ballard — Tuesday, 6/19/12, 8:01 am

– I’m not sure zero tolerance is a good strategy for dealing with gun crimes. But the previous strategies clearly weren’t working.

– RIP Rodney King.

– If there is anything the Federal Reserve could be doing that it’s not doing — and there is — then they are to blame for this. For this multiplied by 14 million. For Ben Bernanke and his cohorts to be giving a single flying fig about the remote possibility of inflation right now really is obscene.

– If the Tea Party doesn’t want to be seen as racist, maybe don’t start off a rally with a racist joke.

– Lord Player says more homophobic nonsense.

– Publicola are back.

– Happy Solstice.

– This is the greatest headline in human history.

– Kill My Blues.

    Text of Obama’s new immigration policy is now available, online as a letter. He won’t even sign his name to it.

    Turns out what he said and what reality is are two different things:

    No wonder it isn’t showing up as an executive order. When it morphs into something no one wants, he’s got plausible deniability.

    It’s not about how much we like our guy. We have two needs:

    1. Our guy should be competent.
    2. Our guy should be capable of beating Obama.

    To the extent we believe Romney meets each need, yeah, we’re comfortable with it.

He’s even stupider than Sarah Palin who has an IQ of around 83, certifiably lower than George W Bush, who measured at 87. The fact that he constantly gets things flat out wrong, then doubles down on them when actual experts make a point of illustrating what was wrong about it, only bespeaks who he’s working for.

    Yeah, Harvard Law School has never been good at picking out good people. Harvard Business School had been slack at that as well, come to think of it.

    And that Baker Scholar award he earned at Harvard?

    The top academic honor at HBS is the Baker Scholar designation (High Distinction), given to the top 5% of the graduating MBA class. In a typical year a Baker Scholar will have achieved “1s” in approximately 70–75% of his or her course credits. Students receiving honors (top 20%) in both their first and second years are awarded the MBA degree with Distinction. (Wiki)

    They give that to almost all of the Harvard MBA recipients. Well, the top 5%, anyway. Any dumbfuck could earn that.

He ordered the destruction of a nearly fully-loaded 747 aircraft to kill one single person.

    An MBA is an unchallenging degree to aquire. It requires little intelligence compared to a law degree. All the work has been done, it is entirely about repeating what is already stated in the textbooks, more of a stenographers degree than anything else. You are comparing a babysitting degree that spoiled rich kids go for, to one that requires real scholarship and intelligence.

    Barack Obama has a LAW degree, not a Haahavaad MBA. I think you’re thinking of our previous President, who it may be pointed out, never received any such awards during his student years, and had to have his daddy bribe his way into the school in the first place.

    It’s hard to know where to begin. Lockerbie killed US citizens and was state-ordered murder, attributed to Libya.

    The Libyan uprising did not kill US citizens, to my knowledge. We have a history of selective involvement in other countries in which citizens are being killed. For some reason 52 Libyan deaths was a crisis but 250,000 Sudanese was not.

    Conservatives supported bombing Libya the same way a majority of Americans supported taking out the Taliban after 9/11, because they were harboring OBL. It’s what we do when our citizens are successfully attacked from abroad.

    I suppose each person who goes down that path does so for their own reasons. Perhaps it’s simple race hatred. Maybe it’s a thirst for power without regard for who gets trampled underfoot.

    Mitt does have a combined Law and MBA degree from Harvard. Quite a few universities offer such joint degrees, sometimes it requires a year more of attendance, but in many graduate schools it merely requires you to have a business “concentration” in law school elective courses – so the student can graduate within three years with both degrees.

    I won’t criticize either Romney or Obama for Harvard law degrees, both are considerable achievements which show that both are unusually intelligent. The problem is one of context. One person with a law degree can see the law in the context to which it’s benefits are made available for the rich and priviledged, whereas used against those who are poor and unrepresented. Another person can come from a background so wealthy and priviledged that he doesn’t see the problem. The President represents the former, Romney is a pefect example of the latter.

    I should also point out that the dual-degree program (JD and MBA) available at many law school precludes quite a few elective law courses which many might like to take if they were inclined to careers in litigation or other non-business aspects of the law.

    But most of those working toward the joint MBA programs don’t expect to actually practice law very much. They just want to know how to read a contract. For everything else, they anticipate that they will hire their own lawyers for the day-to-day litigation, etc.

    This has always amazed me – that someone can think of lawyers as massive labor commodities, interchangeable to a degree, which are simply an assett which they have enough capital at their disposal to hire and fire at will. Few Americans can envision having enough money to think this way.

    # PuddyFart @ 41: Thanks for acknowledging the facts of my post, while disavowing the conclusions. Typical.

    Romney’s grandfather was the immigrant (or re-immigrant, if there is such a word). Romney’s father came along and was hard-working and deserves some laurels for his efforts. Of course, Romney’s father was pushed aside from the GOP in the “Reagan Revolution”. He was too liberal to be among the Reaganites taking office in 1980. Since today’s Tea Party wouldn’t even allow Reagan into the tent with his “liberal” ideology, that just goes so far to show how far the Republicans have pushed each other off the cliff to the right side of the ideological spectrum.

    Romney, however, was born into wealth. His father was the head of what was then one of the “Big Four” auto-makers, and later governor of the state. As the “haircut” incident shows, it went to his head – he became a bully. It keeps showing up at inconvenient times – he put red lights on his car and dressed in a state trooper uniform to scare his friend’s dates. He put his dog in a cage on the top of the car, and simply hosed it down and continued when it lost control of it’s bowels out of fear. At Baine Capital he became impatient with the slow pace of venture capitalism and replaced it with “vulture capitalism” instead, buying up companies to milk the money from them and their workers, then dismantle them and outsource their contracts without concern for the average workers who built the company over their lifetimes. So far, I don’t see any change from the “bully” years – the context changes, and the number of lives affected changes, but the moral issue remains the same.

    Speaking of moral issues, Puddy, I haven’t seen that you repudiated your buddy Glenn Beck for him calling the teenage victims of a white supremecist murderer the equivilents of “Hitler Youth”, thereby implying they deserved their fate.

    Al Gore, Jr.’s father was a US Senator. Didn’t seem to hurt his candidacy for president any (perhaps because it certainly wasn’t going to be Bush bringing up the point).

    John Kerry didn’t have that luxury at birth but chose instead to marry into it. One does not choose to be born into wealth but he certainly chose to marry into it (as did his wife, with her first husband).

    Asian immigrants to U.S. surpass Hispanics for first time

    About 430,000 Asians—or 36 percent of all new immigrants—arrived in the United States in 2010, according to U.S. census data. About 370,000, or 31 percent, were Hispanic.

    The influx of Asians reflects “a slowdown in illegal immigration while American employers increase their demand for high-skilled workers,” the Associated Press said.

    “The educational credentials of these recent [Asian] arrivals are striking,” the report said. Sixty-one percent of 25-to-64-year-old Asian immigrants come with at least a bachelor’s degree—more than double non-Asian immigrants, making the recent Asian arrivals “the most highly educated cohort of immigrants in U.S. history.”

    The study also found that Asian-Americans are “more satisfied than the general public with their lives, finances and the direction of the country, and they place a greater value on marriage, parenthood, hard work and career success.”

    According to the census report, 50.4 percent of children born in a 12-month period that ended July 2011 were Hispanic, black, Asian-American or from other minority groups, while non-Hispanic whites accounted for 49.6 percent of all births in that span.

    The Mitt (R-Money) plan for education:

    Romney offers full-throated support for using taxpayer money to pay for private-school vouchers, privately-managed charters, for-profit online schools, and almost every other alternative to public schools. Like Bob Dole in 1996, Romney showers his contempt on the teachers’ unions. He takes a strong stand against certification of teachers – the minimal state-level requirement that future teachers must pass either state or national tests to demonstrate their knowledge and/or skills – which he considers an unnecessary hurdle. He believes that class size does not matter (although he and his children went to elite private schools that have small classes). Romney claims that school choice is “the civil rights issue of our era,” a familiar theme among the current crop of education reformers, who now use it to advance their efforts to privatize public education.

    alternative to public schools

    The NEA has done such a great job educating our children.

    Despite what some among us would like to believe it is not because of our creative ideas; it is not because of the merit of our positions; it is not because we care about children; and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child.

    The NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power. And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of million of dollars in dues each year because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them; the union that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees.

    This is not to say that the concern of NEA and its affiliates with closing achievement gaps, reducing drop rate rates, improving teacher quality, and the like are unimportant or inappropriate. To the contrary these are the goals that guide the work we do. But they need not and must not be achieved at the expense of due process, employee rights, or collective bargaining.

    That is simply too high a price to pay.

    Heh. Bristol Palin has a new reality show. Damn that librul lamestream media!

    From one of the kinder reviews I’ve found although, from the source, it appears that it may have been written by a commie.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....story.html

    As you might assume, being Bristol Palin means a life of continued anguish and suffering. In her somnolent Lifetime reality show, “Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp,” which premieres Tuesday night, we keep hearing about the painful glare of media attention that snapped on nearly four years ago when her ¬values-preaching mother, Sarah Palin, ran for vice president on the Republican ticket just at the time a teenage Bristol was pregnant with a son. That glare never ended, mostly because Bristol keeps reaching to turn the switch back on.

    Her intent is to volunteer at a religious-based charity called Help the Children. When she gets there, a worker gives her a Help the Children polo shirt and takes her on a tour of L.A.’s skid row, where Palin makes a lethargic attempt to appear even remotely interested. The charity work being done here is bizarrely inverse, in which a needy child of our political culture wars is helped by Help the Children to get airtime.

    It ends with Bristol weeping in the parking lot. Between sobs, she existentially wonders why she can’t escape the constant attention, criticism and sniping. The answer (to pull the plug on the hype machine) truly eludes her. Even if you have a lasting grudge against all things Palin, there’s no payoff here. It’s a new low for anyone who makes the mistake of watching.

    Perhaps one of you trolls can come up with a better review.

    Roger Rabbit’s Stock Tip Of The Day

    Investors pushed stocks higher today on hopes the Federal Reserve will debase our currency further.

    I added to my existing position in Walgreens because the company raised its dividend and bought a European pharmacy chain. Investors didn’t like the acquisition and dumped shares, causing Walgreen’s stock to plummet nearly 6% to slightly above $30. The share price decline coupled with the dividend increase caused Walgreen’s yield to jump from 2.8% to 3.6% overnight.

    This makes it a buy, because Walgreen is a quality company that reliably raises its dividend every year, and has a strong market position with good long-term business prospects. The acquisition gives the company a platform to go global. I think the stock’s a steal at 30 bucks.

    @75 “Are the Asians here legally?”

    My 18-month-old grandson says a lot, and once in a while it makes sense. Puddy almost accomplishes the same thing here.

    Thinking back, back when our adventure in Southeast Asia was unravelling, I don’t recall how much (if any) effort was being made to vet all the “boat people” who got scooped up out of the South China Sea and wound up here. I do remember a lot of Americans went to considerable effort to accommodate them, including a lot of conservatives–although just a few years later, the same people ended up taking a lot of shit from rednecks.

    I vividly remember a few years later when refugees from terror in places where America had, shall we say, “interests” (like El Salvador, for instance), were being hunted down by the INS while right wingers gasbagged about “securing our borders”…Seems some themes keep repeating themselves, eh?

    George Romney:

    Automobile industry lobbyist, eventually Managing Director of Automobile Manufacturers Association – 1939-1947

    ** Mitt born 1947 **

    Executive Vice President and protege of the Chairman, American Motors, beginning 1948, becoming Chairman of the Board, 1954

    Puddle is dishonestly (of course) being picayunish about the year of Mitt’s birth and his dad’s ascendency from executive Vice President of AMC to Chairman.

    Soros has repeatedly called 1944″the best year of his life.” 70% of Mr. Soros’s fellow Jews in Hungary, nearly a half-million human beings, were annihilated in that year, yet the gives no sign that this put any damper on his elation, either at the time or indeed in retrospect” During an interview with “Sixty Minute’s”Steve Kroft, Soros was asked about his “best year.”

    Soros on Soros (Life and Times of a Messianic Billionaire, by Michael Kaufman):

    The Jewish Council asked the little kids to hand out the deportation notices. I was told to go to the Jewish Council. And there I was given these small slips of paper … It said report to the rabbi seminary at 9 am … And I was given this list of names. I took this piece of paper to my father. He instantly recognized it. This was a list of Hungarian Jewish lawyers. He said, “You deliver the slips of paper and tell the people that if they report they will be deported.“

    more…

    Matahir (of Malasia) on Soros:

    Mahathir made specific reference to Soros’ Jewish background “It is a Jew who triggered the currency plunge”

    Later…

    Nine years later, in 2006, Mahathir met with Soros and afterwards stated that he accepted that Soros had not been responsible for the crisis.

    You do, however, agree with Krugman (from The Accidental Theorist):

    …investors who not only move money in anticipation of a currency crisis, but actually do their best to trigger that crisis for fun and profit. These new actors on the scene do not yet have a standard name; my proposed term is ‘Soroi’.”

Or was Bristol? (And why is it that nobody questions who the father is? Because, either way, Todd definitely did it.) It doesn’t matter. What matters is that we are privileged to live in a time when we can witness the greatest prop in world political history. […]

His mom went to a lot of trouble to leak amniotic fluid over 8 states to make sure that he arrived in this world somewhat alive,” writes Wonkette operative “Barbara_i,” reminding us of the occasion. “Sarah went to a whole lot of trouble to name him ‘Van Palin,’ a ‘Van Halen’ reference he will never get.” Indeed.

    Enjoy yourself today, Trig. Have fun! Get drunk (on purpose this time)! We can hardly wait for 15 years from now, when you will finally be able to vote and will be sent off by your mother’s junta to fight the Union in the Great Alaska War. It’ll be quite a loss. You’re the smartest one in that family.

    Famous uses of executive privilege:

    After Nixon, the next President to invoke executive privilege was Bill Clinton, in 1998, trying to keep aides from testifying in the Lewinsky scandal. The district court judge ruled against him. Clinton also used executive privilege to negotiate the terms of his own testimony in the scandal.

    and

    I’m going to add my “Obama is like Nixon” tag. I think a lot of Americans, when they hear “executive privilege” think of Nixon. And, unfortunately for Obama, we’ve been hearing plenty of talk about Watergate lately, what with the 40-year anniversary of the break-in.

    I initially thought there might be an eery similarity between Pat Tillman and the Border Patrol agent, Brian Terry.

    Then I rethought. Tillman’s death was accidental and the true cause was initially covered up.

    The Border Patrol agent’s death was a direct result of an Obama DOJ plan to demonize guns by intentionally giving them to criminals.

    Not so similar, I don’t think. Tillman’s death was an accident during war action. Terry’s death was the result of a political ploy conducted by DOJ, the involvement of the White House apparent by the fact that they’re hiding behind Holder rather than throwing him under the bus.

    A tight 3 round grouping to the head from an estimated range of 10 yards. Accidental. That is good.

    And

Wouldn’t the MSM, who had no reason to support Bush, blare it loudly were it true? They didn’t hold back on Abu Ghraib or the Wuterich stuff, why hold back on Tillman?

    You are straying from the point that Fast and Furious was very, very different from the Bush-era programs.

    New CIA Docs Show Bush Ignored Seven Different Warnings About Imminent Attacks

    By Susie Madrak

    Especially in light of the refusal to release the JFK assassination files, it’s mind-boggling that they’ve finally released this information. Seven different times, Bush was informed of imminent strikes by Bin Laden, and he simply ignored them? I guess they were so determined to go to war, they wanted any excuse they could get:

    Over 120 CIA documents concerning 9/11, Osama bin Laden and counterterrorism were published today for the first time, having been newly declassified and released to the National Security Archive. The documents were released after the NSA pored through the footnotes of the 9/11 Commission and sent Freedom of Information Act requests.

    The material contains much new information about the hunt before and after 9/11 for bin Laden, the development of the drone campaign in AfPak, and al-Qaida’s relationship with America’s ally, Pakistan. Perhaps most damning are the documents showing that the CIA had bin Laden in its cross hairs a full year before 9/11 — but didn’t get the funding from the Bush administration White House to take him out or even continue monitoring him. The CIA materials directly contradict the many claims of Bush officials that it was aggressively pursuing al-Qaida prior to 9/11, and that nobody could have predicted the attacks. “I don’t think the Bush administration would want to see these released, because they paint a picture of the CIA knowing something would happen before 9/11, but they didn’t get the institutional support they needed,” says Barbara Elias-Sanborn, the NSA fellow who edited the materials.

    THAT’s Rethuglicant “competence” in action.

    Five Things To Know About The Republican Witchhunt Against Attorney General Holder

    By Ian Millhiser on Jun 13, 2012 at 9:00 am

    In 2006, during the presidency of George W. Bush, the Justice Department launched the first of a series of misguided “gunrunning” schemes that eventually led to the death of federal Agent Brian Terry. Rather than look to ways to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, however, House Oversight Chair Darrell Issa’s (R-CA) spent his tenure as a committee chair trying unsuccessfully to embarrass Attorney General Eric Holder.

    I don’t know about you guys…but I’D like to know more about THIS:

    Rep. Issa hit with ethics allegations

    By Alexander Bolton – 09/13/11 05:00 AM ET

    A liberal advocacy group is filing an ethics complaint against Rep. Darrell Issa, alleging that the California Republican has repeatedly used his public office for personal gain.

    The group, American Family Voices, is planning to file the complaint with the House Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) on Tuesday.

    The five-page complaint, which was obtained by The Hill, accuses Issa of using his position as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to add to his multimillion-dollar fortune.

    But the link does say:

    The documents show that a doctor who autopsied Tillman’s body was suspicious of the three gunshot wounds to the forehead. The doctor said he took the unusual step of calling the Army’s Human Resources Command and was rebuffed. He then asked an official at the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division if the CID would consider opening a criminal case.

    “He said he talked to his higher headquarters and they had said no,” the doctor testified.

    I don’t know who killed Tillman. But what I do know is that at least one doctor tried to start a proper criminal investigation into the matter. I also know that the killing was covered up. And that the cover up was orchestrated by a 3 star general.

    So how did Tillman die? Looks like the general did a good job and we will never know.

    This shows how in the tank Andrea Mitchell and NBC are for the Chosen One. Manipulating videos to attempt to make Romney look bad Come on. Is this ‘professional” journalism?
    Even journalists from the left are critical of the lack of ethics. No wonder their rating have tanked. No one trusts them.

    Three days after one of its highest-profile news anchors played manipulated video that made Mitt Romney appear out of touch with everyday voters, NBC officials seem content to let the controversy die down without an apology or explanation.
    Other than issuing a terse, one-sentence statement late Tuesday afternoon, NBC has virtually ignored what the blogosphere dubbed “Wawagate.” The carefully-edited segment, aired on Monday’s edition of “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” spliced together a Romney speech, making it appear that he was expressing genuine amazement at a convenience store’s use of technology to take sandwich orders. In reality, he was facetiously comparing the tech-savvy private sector to the clumsy government bureaucracy.

    “All standards have gone out the window,” said Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center, which compared the edited MSNBC clip to unedited video of the rally on YouTube.
    “They are editing at will and it doesn’t matter that they are caught. My guess is that they will continue to do it,” Bozell added.
    Former MSNBC anchor David Shuster said the network should have owned up to its mistake.
    “Covering up Wawa video is bad for accuracy,” said Shuster, who was guest hosting for Bill Press on MSNBC competitor Current TV. “Digging in their heels, they have made this, instead of a one-day story, a three-day story,” he said.

    In addition to being an unprofessional journalist (ugly mentally), have you noticed how hagged out Andrea looks on the outside. How could anyone watch her. She has made a 1-day story, a 3-day story or longer. This won’t go away until she & NBC apologize. I love it when they shoot themselves in the foot.
