Litmus Test
National joke Reince Priebus didn't pass. I loved the way he started: “I just wanna let you know. I’m a Christian. I’m a believer. God lives in my heart. And I’m for changing minds, not changing values. Are you with... Continue reading

The best ever, all at the same place? Sounds like a hell of a dump.
Here on the coast, of course, they come & go very quickly (also the jazz spots too) except maybe the Whisky & the Roxy.
Some Goodbyes
Maxwells is closing. These are indeed tough bananas. The best Rock Concerts Ever Seen in my personal life were at Maxwells. Shit.
Ain't that the damn truth. Take a page from the Nation of Islam & cast off your slave names!!

Didn't intend to make the screen-shot that big, but what can you do?
Total Hot Woman Babe Dep't.
Can't make the difference much clearer than this: We hope Sarah Hofmann is proud of herself. We might also ask Gawker & Raw Story what made this a national story; as soon as they can stop saying "dildo" & "sex toy" over & over w/o giggling we will. — M. Bouffant (Chez moi, aussi.)

Very interested how Moore's Law
"Moore's law is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. The period often quoted as "18 months" is due to Intel executive David House, who predicted that period for a doubling in chip performance (being a combination of the effect of more transistors and their being faster).
(actually a not very rigorous observation, nowhere near a "law") applies to on-line course costs.
Those Who Can Teach, Teach; Therefore, Rich People Who Couldn't Be Bothered to Get Work as Teachers Should Be in Charge of Teaching. Because That Makes Sense!
The Wall Street Journal has discovered a hedge fund manager arse-a-brim with brilliant ideas about how We Can Fix Our Schools. It involves MOOCs, because this is dynamic out of the box thinking that disrupts paradigms and does other horseshit probably having to do with throughput and core compet...
One of these days I am going to wander out to Venice (the Calif. one) & give Douchey Friedersdorf a pie in the face. (I understand Mickey Kaus lives in Venice as well, but giving that has-been what for would be too cruel even for me.)
Believe it or shove it, Douchey is so fucking dense he can't understand how to ride buses.
But if you're intending to visit, I'd suggest driving or biking, because every time someone has tried to explain the various bus systems that connect them, and the rules for transferring among them, I've experienced that same feeling I had in the class that convinced me to stop taking math.
Didn't believe me? Read/weep.
Those who bother to read the whole idiotic classist & racist screed can read a rebuttal here.
Bitter Dregs
For all the "scandal" garbage... there is not in fact anything happening. The "scandals" are K-Tel Soft-Rock Hits of the '90s as reimagined by a Muzak engineer functionally incapacitated by Ouzo, Nyquil, that Iron & Wine shite, a Vitamin D deficiency, & Benadryl. Experienced Wingnutologists can...
Hey, you made memeorandum, which appears to mean nothing these days, but it still beats a poke in the eye w/ a sharp stick (or virtually anything else).
Send in the Clowns - Obama's Wanker Summit
Just to add to Thers' thought about this ("Much more booze please"), please note the distinguished punditogree of the group: Thomas Friedman, the New York Times columnist and THE ONE TRUE WANKER OF THE DECADE Fred Hiatt, the editorial page editor of the Washington Post and WANKER OF THE D...
Ouch. Sounds like more than just "ringing." You could look it up.
Nuts
Phooey.
Also she was cheating on deductions:
“The IRS calls my house and says … ‘I just wanted to let you know that we’re going to be auditing your business’ and I said ‘My businesses?’ and he said, ‘You know the expenses you take off for writing,” the academic recalls.Mystic powers of the I.R.S.:
1) Invoke their name (just once even) & they appear.
While Korzen denied this on the air, Hendershott read from the [I.R.S. Form] 990 form in an effort to prove he wasn’t telling the truth. This, she believes, may have sparked — or played a role — in spawning the IRS audit.
“He was getting paid by one organization and working for another,” the professor said of Korzen. ”The IRS should have gone after them.”Uh, not as long as he declared both incomes. No wonder she was audited.
B) The Cone of Silence.Her writings for the Catholic Advocate soon ceased because, Hendershott admits, the IRS audit silenced her. If her suspicions are true, this may have been its chilling intention.A mere audit, entirely by itself, silenced her. She wasn't jailed, fined, forced to pay back taxes, denied her deductions or told to lay off George Soros by the I.R.S. But she knew, even w/o proof.
Fortunately this "chilling" effect wore off just as the I.R.S. was accused of doing its job elsewhere, so she can get in on the fun.
Every Wingnut Who Fucks up Their Taxes Is Suddenly a Crucified Martyr Now!
For fuck's sake. In the midst of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) scandal, individuals and groups, alike, are continuing to come forward with ever-startling allegations. On Wednesday, Dr. Anne Hendershott, a devout Catholic and a noted sociologist, professor and author, exclusively told TheBlaz...
So, has anyone put Mrs. Norris's book through the plagiarism detector? I suppose a bullshit-so-trite-no-one-would-bother-copyrighting-it detector would have better results.

Chuck Norris's Mom Kinda Sounds Like a Frickin' Dumbass
Not much from our new favorite TownHaller this week, though this is piquant: The only reason Obama is strolling through the Rose Garden, golfing with Tiger Woods and cracking jokes about Jay-Z is because the media is not holding him accountable. If only the gosh-darned Em-ess-Em would do its job...

Shadow of a Gun Nut
Sarah Palin is in the news because the Lame Stream Media doesn't like to be accused of bias towards carnival geeks. Sarah Palin blasted President Barack Obama and gun control advocates Friday, blaming them for "exploiting" recent mass shooting tragedies to promote their political agenda. That wo...
You should probably dump that glass on Frum's head rather than giving it to him to drink.

Not quite as crazy as some, nonetheless entirely delusional Canadian Republican & former Bush speechwriter David Frum types: Fortunately, the Republican 2016 field thus far remains mercifully free of the charlatans and crackpots who came to the fore in 2012. The early field is intelligent and ha...

Here is an even more disturbing image of "KT," via a B.J. commenter.
Also, guessing that Townhall employs someone to rewrite headlines. KT's title at her web log (many more wonderful pictures) is "Relooking [sic] at Young Hactivists."
Topical Robots
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's off to nuts we go... Oh hello there, you. What do you have for us this week? Pause and reflect on this hypocrisy: The Department of Justice prosecutes young hackers who use computers to promote free speech while highly educated adults within the DOJ threaten to use le...
KK's web log doesn't, however, feature un-registered comments. I can't imagine why. I'd think people would be dying to tell Katie how cute & just plain adorable she is.

And if the Prez tried to do anything to help African-Americans specifically, all the blather about gifts to the poor, ya-da, would, at a minimum, be quadrupled from its current dull but never-ending roar.

Did you use the Bat-net? And are you certain no bat spittle was flecked on any residents?
Moon Bat, Dogs
This bat got in the house, and eventually sought refuge under a spare bed. He/she/its/bat's voice sounded like clicking, although it was high-pitched enough to also be described as squeaking. "Get away from me, you huge, ugly, scary monster!!!," he translated. Also, d.a.w.g.s: ...
But what happened to the bat? Is s/he still there? And the species?
You're headed down the path of slacking. Like me. Watch it.

And: Does J. Rubin have young goats ("kids") or human children? Inquiring minds ...
Love the reactionaries whining about sexism (& racism) w/o understanding the concepts; I'd say Jenghazi's hubby is the "sexist pig" if he can't pick up the goats kidschildren while she's engaged in a vicious Twit-fight.

A big "ouch" for that title.
Also, are you visiting demon-spawn Twitter now?

Well, Sec. of State Kerry did say Americans have the right to be stupid.
Your Sport is Stupid
What? Since 1959, racers and fans alike have gathered at Daytona International Speedway in February for the Great American Race. On Sunday, NASCAR’s Sprint Cup competitors will race with heavy hearts in the Daytona 500 after at least 28 people — with reports of more — were injured in the fron...
Technically it was the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Dep't. that fired the canisters, not the LAPD.
Also read somewhere that they'd already tried non-pyro grenades w/ no result. Maybe Dorner was using the scuba gear he was possibly seen buying.
Added note: As we mentioned at our own dump a while ago, Memeorandum must really be over: You'd think at least one right-winger/cop-fondler would show up to complain. Have to jack up the trolling, I guess.
So. Cal. Police Terror Report
Amazing that a "tear gas" canister that won't make the structure it's fired into explode in flames hasn't been developed in the almost 40 yrs. since most of the Symbionese Liberation Army were killeddied in a fire set by the LAPD's magic tear gas canisters. A cynical America-hater (me) might th...

The Judges and the Saints and the Textbook Committee
Here's a nifty little parable about the goofball, yet linchpin, anxieties that animate Movement Conservatism. Apparently during the SOTU Jonah Goldberg got a bit snotty on the Twitter machine regarding Jill Biden being referred to as "Dr," when she is not a medical doctor and has professionally ...
