She’s a Republican and in my experience Republicans tend to be conservatives and conservatives tend to be authoritarians. Studies back this up. And Conservatives, Authoritarians and Republican all tend to be racists. Especially the ones who love guns.
Peak Republican. Three.

"authoritarianism requires a ruthless sort of competence that Trump cannot attain." - It sounds like Msgr. Douthat actually wants Mussolini. "I knew Mussolini and you're no Mussolini". And the racism is so glossed over. I submit that John Rogers' 27% Crazification factor is actually those single issue voters for which White Supremacy is the issue. Obama vs Keyes? What possible issue could Keyes be better on than Obama? Only 1 - white supremacy. 27% thought Trump "won" the debate? How? I rest my case

**Live from the Journamalists' and the Republicans' Self-Made Gehenna:** Ross Douthat rejects Trump but endorses Trumpism, saying that the idea that Trump is either "a typical Republican... [or] the scourge our rotten system needs" is "a plausible argument". No, Ross, that's wrong: misogynist whi...

Rosé Vermouth
Food & Wine (April 2016) We first wrote about vermouth after our trip to Spain last year. It was the first time we'd ever seen people drinking it as a standalone beverage rather than as an ingredient in a more complicated cocktail. We loved the vermouth we drank in Spain: Bitter and herbal an...
He hasn’t yet, that I can think of, played a doctor or a teacher.
In Saving Private Ryan, Capt Miller "had been employed at Thomas Alva Edison High School in Addley, Pennsylvania. He then taught English composition since 1933. Miller was married and was also the coach of the local baseball team in the Spring."

So he is a teacher who is currently a soldier???
Bridge of Spies: The lawyerly intelligence of Tom Hanks and how being able to tell a good story won the Cold War
Oscar Weekend continues in Mannionville. Posted February 27, 2016. Tom Hanks as James B. Donovan in Bridge of Spies. Of course I knew the story going in. Thought I did, anyway. May, 1960. Height of the Cold War. American U-2 spy plane pilot Gary Powers shot down on a mission over the Soviet Un...
The responses are incredibly dumb ( I'm not really into the Twitter). The right wingers are really angry about poor people being able to go to the doctor. Like so angry they should see a mental health professional.

Like a low rent medium.com. More like a small.
No RSS feed for feedly.
So no, probably not for me anyways.

The GOP are just shitty, racist, hypocrites. They love *their* children, but hate the poor, hate brown people. Immigration will hasten the day that they lose power for good ( civil war part 2 ).
More Immigration Please
What I don't get about the anti-immigration fervor, is this: if we are the great and fantastic nation we claim to be, we would welcome all these children. What I love about America: children will risk death and injury, travelling thousands of miles, because of a dream of what the United States o...
So could there be a citizen-led referendum to amend the constitution to allow citizen-led referendums? That would be structural and procedural, yes?
ZORN REPLY -- First, no, it would be beyond the scope of the provision which specifies "limited." Second, I'm not so sure opening things up to a California-style referendum system is all that great an idea.
'Yes for Independent Maps' folds its tent
Rick Pearson reports that the "group pushing a constitutional amendment to create a more independent way to draw legislative districts pulled the plug on the effort today, hours after a Cook County judge tossed the proposal from the Nov. 4 ballot." That same jurist, Cook County Judge Mary Mikva...
I always use this recipe from cooking for engineers - http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/132/Gravlax. We usually buy salmon from costco and grill it. We cut off the small, thin end because it would get overcooked anyway. The recipe from the site above has always worked well - sometime the real thin parts get harder like salmon jerky - but always delicious. Give it a shot!
Kitchen Fail: Gravlax
Food Network Magazine (April 2014) Bittens, would you like a little foreign-language lesson? Let's learn a new word together, shall we? The word is katastrof. It's Swedish for "disaster" or (obviously) "catastrophe." And it's important for this little story about making gravlax. Because the...
#Occupy was all about inequality. But it too often ended in arrests and pepper spray. It did change the subject away from "entitlement reform (i.e. granny starving cuts), but what else did it achieve?
The Right wing has done a masterful job of using religion and racism to get people to vote against their own interests and/or to get people to believe that they shouldn't bother (although Third-Way Democrats have helped a LOT with the latter).
What do we need? Pitchforks??
DeLong/Equitable Growth Smackdown Watch: Thomas Frank on How he Doesn't Want to Be Lectured by Paul Krugman or Joe Stiglize Anymore: Monday Focus: March 3, 2014
Thomas Frank: Paul Krugman won’t save us: "When President Obama declared in December that gross inequality is the 'defining challenge of our time', he was right, and resoundingly so.... However, he quickly backed away... at the urging of pollsters and various Democratic grandees. I can understa...
Dubious? I can live with that.
Technological Marvels of Our Age
Real Life, and Time, continues to take its crazy toll. The pressures should ease a bit in a few. Hope so, anyway, for a number of reasons, one of which, the MOSTEST IMPORTANT, is that Whiskey Fire has as of nowish 3,988,676 visits. Sometime in the next couple weeks or so we will hit FOUR MILLIO...
Scouts ( and leaders ) are all trained in "Leave No Trace" - https://www.google.com/search?q=bsa+leave+no+trace - these guys are a disgrace. They are poster children for the "Ugly Americans" who treat the world as their garbage can. Blame these idiots, not the scouts.
I especially like that he is filing lawsuits for disability, while still able to climb rock formations - and destroy them.
It's a horrible shame because the rock formations are incredible.

There are "low-information" voters ( aka idiots ) who need to know who is going to win because they don't want to vote for the loser - and thus be tainted by the loser-ish-ness. So to them, the horserace is really all there is.
The Storm and the Horse-Race
by Doctor Science Or, Why is an election 4 months away more newsworthy than a crisis right now? My parents, who live in Connecticut, recently got back from a trip to the Midwest for a family reunion. They left on Thursday, June 29, and came back on Tuesday July 3. This past Friday my mother calle...
