Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Bark louder, little dog.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Republicans do not trust women.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

According to multiple sources, Jason Richwine has resigned from Heritage, presumably after it was discovered he was approaching white nationalist groups with his “research.” My absolutely favorite wingnut response comes from Malkin:

No researcher or academic institution is safe if this smear campaign succeeds.

Holy loads of self-awareness fail, batman.

    Good to see the racist ass decided to ‘spend more time with his family’. At Wikipedia I saw this quote about some of his earlier work:

    An article by American Enterprise Institute researcher Jason Richwine states that while earlier European immigrants were often poor when they arrived, by the third generation they had economically assimilated to be indistinguishable from the general population. However, for the Hispanics immigrants the process stalls at the second generation and the third generation continues to be substantially poorer than whites.[118]

    This turd likes to float in conservative punch bowls.

    I haven’t read what Richwine wrote, but I’m curious as to how he reached the conclusion that Hispanics have a lower IQ. From a biological point of view, nobody even knows what genes are responsible for “intelligence”, or even how they interact with the environment. For example if Einstein was born in Ethiopia during a famine he most probably would not have come up with the theory of relativity. Even if the “intelligence” genes were identified they’d have to be shown to somehow be linked to skin color (which was a protective response to ultraviolet light). Also Hispanics are not a race. Is he talking about Mexicans, or Argentinians or European Spaniards? I have never understood how anyone who does not even have a basic biology background is ever taken seriously when they talk about race and intelligence, much less given a stamp of approval from so called elite schools. This sort of explosive claim about IQ needs to be submitted to a peer reviewed journal of biology (where I’m sure it’ll be promptly thrown into the trash).

    I can’t see the whole dissertation, even though the library at my work claims it has a subscription to the online dissertation archive (so I should be able to, right?) , but that online subscription stuff doesn’t work half the time anyway, seems like.

    I think people shouldn’t slam the dissertation unless they are willing to plunk down the 40 bucks and at least read it.

    A student can do a good dissertation, and then make the advisers look bad by misusing or misstating the results after graduation, or using the dissertation as a credential to get weird gigs and say all sorts of crazy stuff.

    The part I could read in the preview was pretty careful to treat IQ and the factor analysis gimcrack ‘g’ it is based on carefully as a statistical construct that was merely correlated with other measures of productivity. I didn’t see any genetic determinism goofballery.

    One of the reviewers on Google books who had read it, slammed it as barely masters level work: literature review, summary statistics and a few regressions. Maybe so, I haven’t read it. But Richwine’s field was ‘Public Policy’ or some ‘Policy’ thing. Not economics, or sociology or political science. And, for better or worse, a lot of PhD dissertations in ‘Policy’ fields are just that, or look like that.

    I’m not defending the dissertation, since I haven’t read it. But I don’t think people can know what was going on until they actually read the thing.

    I suppose for the same reason “scientists” who have absolutely no background in biology are cited by conservatives as creationists in order to create the illusion of a controversy – or “scientists” with no background in climate research, for the same reason. Namely, important people like what they hear and don’t really care where it came from.

    Not to mention the encouragement & mentorship of Murray, mentioned in the Acknowledgements. I don’t know why Harvard didn’t just drop the facade and award the PhD to AEI directly.

    Thank God I was working for Chris DeMuth and AEI, not Jim DeMint and Heritage, when The Bell Curve was published. Integrity. Loyalty. Balls.
    — @charlesmurray via web

    An interesting admission that “loyalty” is more important than accuracy.
    But it was Heritage and deMint who were keeping a job warm for Richwine as soon as he finished his thesis, to spin the interns’ research into a Study (before they discovered that the person providing them with white-supremacist boilerplate for the puke funnel was himself a white supremacist). If Murray feels so strongly about keeping his protege on Wingnut Welfare, he should have arranged the job himself.

I didn’t see any genetic determinism goofballery. One of the reviewers on Google books who had read it, slammed it as barely masters level work: literature review, summary statistics and a few regressions.

    The genetic argument he makes is based on studies of twins and statements by the American Psychological Association about IQ heritability being around 0.45 for children. For longitudinal analysis he uses the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. I don’t know this area, so I can’t judge the dissertation in context, but the summary above seems about right to me. As for the problem of causation versus correlation, there’s a lot of handwaving that I find completely unconvincing. Finally, I suppose because this comes from the Department of Public Policy, he ends with a proposal for “IQ selection” in U.S. immigration policy. If I remember correctly, this was also proposed in the early part of the 20th century by people we now consider flat-out racists. Richwine and his advisors really shouldn’t be surprised about the reaction to his work.

    (I’ve spent maybe an hour browsing through the dissertation, out of curiosity, though I haven’t read it in detail.)

    I have worked quite a bit with the NLSY79 (the data set he uses). I would just like to point out that the data set does not contain an IQ test, rather it uses the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT). As far as I can tell (with a quick literature search), there is little proof that this correlates with intelligence, especially in the general population. The only citation he gives for this conversion is Herrnstein and Murray’s “The Bell Curve”, a book which argues for, you guessed it, racial differences in IQ. As far as peer reviewed studies showing that AFQT is synonymous with IQ, I cannot find anything.

    In short, Malkin’s main defense of “but he has a PhD from Harvard” does not seem as impressive once you read the actual dissertation. I am honestly surprised his committee signed off on that one. It has holes in it you could drive a truck through.

    @WereBear:

    Gee, I don’t know, because you are actually a coddled and protected subgroup in our society?

    Who? Lesbians? Gay people? Women?

    By the way, I worked at AEI in the late 90s, during Clinton’s 2nd term. I worked in the department that handled letters to the donors and thanking them, getting rooms ready for the speakers conferences and panels and sending out the “scholar’s” newsletters and other propaganda. At the time I was working there, it was more Libertarian, more in the middle with Brookings on its left and Heritage on its right. Everyone of us (and we were all women) were either liberal or independent. We worked for Chris DeMuth of course but not as acolytes.

    I worked there from fall 1996 to spring 1998. I was at that event where Greenspan claimed “Irrational exuberance.” I knew all about Scaife and the right wing conspiracy because they were some of our biggest donors at the time.

    I had no loyalty. I just needed a job.

    @PeorgieTirebiter:

    Unfortunately, HF has a deep bench when it comes to sociopaths. They’re distraction team is already hitting the airwaves waving the bloody Benghazi flag.

    Congressional Republicans?
