    Ok, in an attempt to understand whatever the hell that was–just tried to break down the first paragraph/sentence.

    He starts with the strawman argument that liberals want an unlimited federal government. Obviously we want unlimited government because we keep trying to defend speech, privacy rights, equal protection under the law, and the right of women to have autonomy over their private, medical decisions. The proof of our desire for unlimited federal government is apparently a desire to take away the freedom of all white men.

    This, he finds amusing–because he is insane!!

    Not to Gryffindor. To Slytherin.

    Since open thread has been declared, I want to warn everybody to avoid seeing The Host. It’s got Saoirse Ronan, whose first name I somehow managed to spell correctly; whom I find impossible to look away from; and who very, very nearly manages the impossible-to-perform title role: two squabbling teenage girls trapped in one body. Alas, neither she nor Lotus Evoras wrapped in silver vinyl can make up for the movie being based on a Stephenie Meyer novel. (Which of course gives away what the girls are squabbling about.)

That we are flooded by goods produced by a communist regime (China) but can’t even visit Cuba. And here comes Rubio being predictable trying to give Jay-Z a history lesson about Che from the 60s.

He himself said in an interview awhile back that he is just a radio clown. He knows better but does it for big bucks.

    I think he has always been a scumbag. Back when he was a morning-zoo shock jock, he called (on-air) his big rival DJ and “joked” that the guy couldn’t do anything right, including making a baby. The hee-larious part is that the guy’s wife had just suffered a miscarriage (which Beck knew.) I wonder if being reminded of that would turn off any of his current fans.

    The 27% Crazification Factor is real:

    http://kfmonkey.blogspot.com/2005/10/lunch-discussions-145-crazification.html

    John: Hey, Bush is now at 37% approval. I feel much less like Kevin McCarthy screaming in traffic. But I wonder what his base is —

    Tyrone: 27%.

    John: … you said that immmediately, and with some authority.

    Tyrone: Obama vs. Alan Keyes. Keyes was from out of state, so you can eliminate any established political base; both candidates were black, so you can factor out racism; and Keyes was plainly, obviously, completely crazy. Batshit crazy. Head-trauma crazy. But 27% of the population of Illinois voted for him. They put party identification, personal prejudice, whatever ahead of rational judgement. Hell, even like 5% of Democrats voted for him. That’s crazy behaviour. I think you have to assume a 27% Crazification Factor in any population.

    John: Objectively crazy or crazy vis-a-vis my own inertial reference frame for rational behaviour? I mean, are you creating the Theory of Special Crazification or General Crazification?

    Tyrone: Hadn’t thought about it. Let’s split the difference. Half just have worldviews which lead them to disagree with what you consider rationality even though they arrive at their positions through rational means, and the other half are the core of the Crazification — either genuinely crazy; or so woefully misinformed about how the world works, the bases for their decision making is so flawed they may as well be crazy.

    John: You realize this leads to there being over 30 million crazy people in the US?

    Tyrone: Does that seem wrong?

    John: … a bit low, actually.

    @Yutsano: It’s ok to be wrong about God if you’re right about hating the same folks and openly expressing it.

    “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” and all that. Rmoney convinced the red-staters that if anything, he might hate and be willing to punish poor people (read: dark) even more than they hate them or have been able to punish them. So what if he was a follower of a wackaloon religion? God will take care of that in all due time and send his infidel ass to hell; in the meantime, he’s willing to put some serious hurt on all the folks we hate, so no need to let the opportunity pass! Plus, he’s not black.

    On second thought, that last one was the only thing he needed to curry favor with the Christianist base; the whole “enemy of my enemy” stuff just helped them rationalize it.

Who then set out once again to create the human species – a species still wicked with Original Sin, since they were the descendents of that wicked Eve.

    @Davis X. Machina:

    Before the big meeting someone should check the county or town/city zoning ordinance. I’ll bet there is already law on the books that requires a developer to include open space when planning a development. Open space requirements and clustering to create walkable neighborhoods/save land have been around for a long time. Most planning commissions, which are appointed by local govt, have embraced this. It ain’t a international conspiracy, it’s a damned local govt plot! Loudoun Co Va is very republican and it’s in the zoning, because locals don’t want what’s left of the rural western part to be paved over.

    @Violet: The dog whistle I think is a dog whistle (unlike the open racism we’ve seen recently) and I would guess that a lot of the (young) people lol’ing at her FAIL missed it because they miss the context.

    I remember, though. I thought her plausible-deniability comments about rap being a complex genre were sick and wanted to punch her in the face. Then to do such a horrible job… yeah… yeah I guess it is a complex genre YOU FAILTURD.

    @Citizen Alan: Depends how slick they are and what kind of goals the PD was setting with their screening.

    You probably have to refresh your tests and approach every 5 years because the really determined social dominators will find out how to psych out the test once it becomes familiar and known. Generally, though, the young social dominator will badly misjudge how different their attitudes are from 98% of the population and this can be used to smoke them out.
