Shame On You, Congress, Shame, Shame.

The Mound of Sound at The Disaffected Lib - 1 minute ago
America's "bought and paid for" Congress is notorious for obstructing any meaningful action to respond to climate change. Now a group, "Organizing for Action", is preparing a campaign to target climate change denialists on Capital Hill. People like these guys: *Until Thursday, the group had focused on gun control, immigration and the budget. Climate change did not even rate its own heading on the OFA website. But Thursday's video and an accompanying petition campaign suggest that Obama's allies have now decided that climate change is a mainline political issue.* Good luck, OFA... more »

The Latest in School Fashion - Body Armour

The Mound of Sound at The Disaffected Lib - 12 minutes ago
What's next, Kevlar helmets? The latest sign of America's worsening dysfunction is ballistic armour for school kids. Send your child to school with a bulletproof backpack so when the rounds start flying, and you know they will, the kid has a chance to take cover in the shelter of her rucksack.

A prisoner stands before a court and is told to make a decision between execution and amputation. The prison chooses amputation.

Chalk Face, PhD at @ THE CHALK FACE knows SCHOOLS MATTER - 36 minutes ago
It has always been remarkable to me why we don’t see a prevalence of charter schools and other hallmarks of school choice in rural communities. There is just as much poverty, neglect, abuse, and family discord in these areas. We don’t see “no excuses” approaches or an intense push for universal college participation. I’m perfectly [...]

RED AND BLUE WITH RACE ALL OVER: Our blue tribe develop its own tribal culture!

bob somerby at the daily howler - 41 minutes ago
*FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 2013* *Part 4—Walsh nut-picks:* In 1861, it was blue versus gray. Today, it’s increasingly red versus blue. To watch the way our own blue tribe has been inventing its own private tribal culture, you should consider David Sirota’s now-famous piece for Salon. When the column appeared on April 16, no one knew who would emerge as the Boston bomber. Sensibly enough, Sirota was worried about what could happen “if the bomber ends up being a Muslim and/or a foreigner from the developing world.” This was a perfectly valid concern—and the concern is easy to state. But how... more »

The Return of Lazy Mendacity

Jonathan Bernstein at A plain blog about politics - 47 minutes ago
Oliver Willis yesterday asked: what is it with cons[ervatives] who provide links to stories that disprove their accusations? Hey, I know that one! It's lazy mendacity. On a totally different substantive topic, Conor Friedersdorf had a great example of lazy mendacity, also yesterday -- conservatives linking to a NYT story about Boston and quoting something from mid-story to support a claim that the press was ignoring the bombers' religion, when in fact the headline and the lead (yeah, I spell it that way usually) were about "Islamic Extremist Beliefs As Motive." In other words, whil... more »

Corn and Black Bean Salsa

Debra Hawkins at Housewife Eclectic - 1 hour ago
[image: Bean and Corn Salsa] When I left for college when I was 18, I had a goal. To never eat beans again, ever. I decided I was an adult and nobody could force me to eat them. I quickly found myself on dates where I had to eat beans or look foolish, so I ate them. When I got married, I reaffirmed my desire to never eat a bean again...then we moved to South Texas where beans are a food group. The first time I ordered a plate with no beans, the waiter acted like I shot him. So I started taking slow nibbles and I discovered that I actually love black beans. I still never want to eat... more »

Afterburner: Bill Whittle: Are you being demonized by this administration?...

Adrienne at Adrienne's Corner - 1 hour ago
From YouTube: Bill Whittle walks viewers through the efforts by liberals to politicize murder and terror. Why does the left advance their paranoid mythologies about race and conservatism even when it is irrelevant to the issue at hand? Whether its the Newtown mass murder, or the Boston Marathon terror attacks by radical muslims, liberals always target America and forgive the real enemies. Hear why liberals and the mainstream media love to blame the Tea Party movement and the right for every wrong in America, on this Afterburner.

Hyundai ix35 unfit for suicide by CO2

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 2 hours ago
All the media have informed about the following Hyundai ad that was quickly suspended: The man tries to commit suicide by inhaling the gases from the exhaust pipe. But Hyundai ix35 only has "water emissions", whatever it exactly means, so he fails. Understandably, some people – including surviving dependants of people who did commit suicide in a car – were upset. Well, suicides are present on the maternal side of my DNA chain but I wasn't offended. Instead, the video looks boring to me. It had to be very cheap to shoot it, too. Also, it seems clear to me that well over 99 perc... more »

So you're called into the back room. It's a tiny one with no windows and only one door. In the room is someone who identifies himself as being from Loss Prevention. He seems so nice. He tells you he's there to help you save your job. If you only tell him what he wants to hear, you can go back to work. He's lying! Don't fall for it. Everything you say can and will be held against you. Be careful. He asks you some questions that make it clear you're being accused of doing something wrong. Maybe it's stealing from the company. Maybe just punching in wrong. Maybe a violation of some po... more »

Lack of TCE Warning Has Residents Steamed

By: Nathan Lamb A recently discovered cluster of contaminated wells has residents of Wake Forest, North Carolina asking why they weren’t warned about the problem in 2005, according to this NBC news story. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) testing over the past year has discovered the carcinogen trichloroethylene (TCE) in 21 wells across a 500-acre area around Stony Hill Road in the town of Wake Forest. While the EPA has installed water filters to alleviate the problem, several residents were outraged to learn that the state discovered TCE contamination in a neighborhood well i... more »

Senate committee representative: CISPA will almost certainly be shelved due to privacy concerns

Madison Ruppert The highly controversial Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), which passed the House last week, will “almost certainly be shelved by the Senate,” according to a representative of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. This comes the day after it was revealed that the government is already carrying out activities like those legitimized under CISPA by issuing so-called 2511 letters.

Outside of 1975-2000, the up-and-down global temperature record does not correlate with the level of CO2 in the air (but it does correlate, quite well, with the multidecadal ocean oscillations, on top of a presumed half-degree-per-century of warming since the Little Ice Age--so why bother with CO2 at all, why treat the CO2 "greenhouse" theory as sound and settled, is the proper scientific question).

Piri Reis Reinterpreted

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 8 hours ago
I spotted this first on Dale Drinnon's Blog and it provides a valuable re thinking of the much referenced Piri Reis Map. The key take home is that the southern portion of the map is not Antarctica but the deliberate shifting of the south american coastline to the East for rather pressing political reasons of the day. Even better they tried also to place the known geography of the Chinese coast in the Caribbean. Understanding both easily clarifies the real anomalies in the map. A lot of inference has been drawn from the Antarctic assumption that can all now be simply dismis... more »

Creation Without GOD

In my own work, I have reduced the moment of creation to the simple decision to be. Thereafter the mathematica alone imposes the world we know and if another creation is initiated, it is the same laws and generally convergent to any sister universe. What remains to be discussed is the nature of the decision itself. The mathematica that I have laid out shows us that it is immensely simple and thereafter entirely inevitable. Simple as creation is, it is also clear that GOD is naturally post creation, claims to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition time as we under... more »

Much of what passes for interpretation here is rather thin on the ground, but what is extremely important is that we are dealing with a nocturnal hunting life way. That alone explains everything.

This means that our Neanderthals were largely designed for small group stalking and hunting at night which is a generally easy life way. The Sasquatch or Bigfoot and most other carnivores continue this life way. Humanity learned instead to build out in a larger community and operated as both hunte... more »

Small Footprints at Reduce Footprints - 12 hours ago
When I first considered the idea of switching to a plant-based diet, I envisioned a life of rabbit food ... raw carrots and celery ... morning, noon and night.

Will Her Fealty To The NRA Cost Kelly Ayotte A New Hampshire Senate Seat?

Will McCain & Lindsey be able to find a third Stooge in 2016? Half the voters in New Hampshire are telling pollsters they are less likely to vote to reelect Kelly Ayotte because she voted against the bipartisan background check amendment last week.

How Coincidental: Canada's Foiled "Terrorist Attempt" Coincides With Debate Of Intrusive Anti-Terrorism Bill

My position on this, as I've said many times, is that I've heard him speak on baseball and he sounded sharp enough; I attributed the evidence of his presidency not as a lack of innate intelligence, but as a consequence of his lack of interest in the world of public affairs and policy. Two new contributions worth looking at. Kevin Drum looks at Keith Hennessey's anecdotes intended to show Bush's smarts and sees, instead, impatience and lack of interest in details.

Why Does the F-35 Have Just One Engine? Blame It On Those Damned JarHeads.

A huge limiting factor of the F-35 is that it has just one engine. In a vast, sparsely populated country with extreme weather (yes, that would be Canada), twin-engine reliability is a huge bonus. One engine goes out - from a bird strike or mechanical failure, whatever - and you've still got one to let you limp back to the barn. The F-35's vastly more capable big brother, the F-22, has twin engines. So why just a single, massive jet engine for the F-35? There is an answer. When the F-35 was conceived it had to be designed to suit a lot of potential users. It was supposed to re... more »

Right now the money creation is flooding the top end of society which merely promotes gross speculation. This is surely a repeat of the South Seas Bubble. Smarter is to subsidize credit throughout to massively increase demand. That has yet to happen and it should have happened four years ago. The bull is satiated and needs to rest a long time in order to digest its excess. In the meantime gro... more »

Driverless Cars Imminent

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 22 hours ago
What is truly eminent is the capacity to step out of your door and have an automated electric vehicle immediately pick you up and then travel at a rapid clip to your destination. Freeways will naturally operate at close to one hundred miles per hour. Better yet, roads will become lanes and street parking will evaporate as the vehicles will rarely park there except to pick up and drop off. It will be valet service 24/7. Our urban space can become vastly more civilized and generally comfortable. Fumes will become a distant memory. There will certainly remain a culture deter... more »

Crunching the F-35 Numbers. It's Anything You Want.

The Mound of Sound at The Disaffected Lib - 22 hours ago
There's one thing F-35 pilots won't be seeing as much as they'd like - the inside of an F-35. Instead they'll be spending a good deal more time pretending to be inside an F-35, in a simulator inside some cavernous hangar. Now how the balance between actual stick and rudder time and simulator time is struck will depend on a lot of factors, some of them political. One of the big political issues of the day, at least to prospective purchasers and operators of the F-35 light attack bomber, is the cost of operating the warplanes. Some critics seem to think they'll be very expensive ... more »

What Has The Republican Party Done To The American Economy

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 23 hours ago
Is this just too simplistic? The Republican Party nihilists crashed the economy with their ideologically and greed-driven Austerity Agenda under Bush and then obstructed every effort President Obama and the Democrats have made to fix it. I mean, there are nuances-- like Obama's own inherent conservatism and misplaced belief in Austerity and compromise-- but, in effect, that sentence describes what's happened to the American economy since 2000. Yesterday the *NY Times* editorial board took a shot at focusing in on one catch-all aspect-- sequestration-- and explaining why it's a dis... more »

Purple Library Guy spaketh thusly: If I thought that the collaboration thing was both necessary and sufficient to get proportional representation, I'd certainly support it. I'm skeptical for tactical reasons. At a minimum, I'd like to see non-Conservative parties get together in a sort of joint policy development process and come up with an electoral system they all support, up front, and craft a bill that they all will commit to. Then maybe it might be worth talking about collaborating in the election to get in and pass that bill. Until you've got at least that, there are some se... more »

da Vinci

Oberon at GlobaLove Think Tank - 23 hours ago
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519) was an Italian Renaissance polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. His genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance Man, a man of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination". He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talen... more »

*THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 2013* *We survey The One True Channel and the public schools:* What will MSNBC be like in the coming years? How about Salon? We think it’s important for liberals to badger the news orgs which are starting to define the liberal world. We’re going to try to be more polite about the work we see at such outposts.

Every Thursday on Twitter, there's a popular hashtag, #throwbackthursday, in which users are encouraged to do a little time warp and bring attention to people, fashions and events from a bygone era. Since right wingers keep colliding with irony and bathos, it should come as no surprise to anyone that one of the biggest news items of today happens to be George W. Bush opening the doors of his presidential library at Southern Methodist University in Texas. Therefore in the spirit of #throwbackthursday, let's do a little time warp of our own and pretend we're in the salad day... more »

The Importance of Carbon Capture to the Climate Debate

*UPDATE: The journal Climatic Change has a special issue on this subject just out, it is open access and can be found here. * Dan Sarewitz and I have a piece just out in The Atlantic on the importance of carbon capture to the debate over climate change. Here is how the short piece starts out: Today, more than 85 percent of the world’s energy still comes from fossil fuels. Despite centuries of growing use, these fuels remain abundant. Powerful economic and political interests are organized around the fossil-energy system, as are complex social arrangements (consider, for example... more »

Breaking: A striking report from Dagestan!

*THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 2013* *A portrait of life lived in tribes:* A few days ago, we read something which almost made us feel sorry for poor Joseph Stalin. How many different peoples can one man be asked to subjugate? That was our question after reading a detailed Wall Street Journal profile of the Tsarnaev family. Anzor Tsarnaev is the father of the alleged Boston bombers. As it turns out, he crossed an ethnic line when he married his wife: CULLISON (4/22/13): Back in the 1940s, Anzor Tsarnaev's parents were deported to Kyrgyzstan from their native Chechnya after Josef Stalin's re... more »

RED AND BLUE WITH RACE ALL OVER: Sirota’s point was easy to state!

bob somerby at the daily howler - 1 day ago
*THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 2013* *Part 3—Why did he state it so strangely:* Shortly after the Boston bombing, David Sirota wrote a column at Salon with a slightly peculiar headline: “Let's hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American,” that slightly odd headline said. Sirota’s piece is still being mocked on Fox. But in its essence, his column was built around an obvious and simple idea—an idea which is easy to state. It’s easy to express the concern which lay at the heart of Sirota’s column. In today’s Washington Post, E. J. Dionne describes a basic concern he felt when he lear... more »
