Instant Fap Hit
— CAC

Step one, grab lotion.
Step two, click Intrade's current contract on Scott Walker winning.

You're welcome.

If you really believe Barrett pulls this off, jump on in. You can make a killing right now. Or, you know, just go suck it.

There's no reason to get cocky. But enjoying the moaning of the other side's eeyores right now? Relishing in their angst?

Enjoy it.

28 I have lived in Wisconsin for waaaaaay too long to get cocky about this yet.  I have seen too many homeless people bribed to vote for democrats in exchange for cigarettes.  I have seen too many old folks emptied out of the nursing homes and shuttled onto buses by the MoveOn crowd.  We have an uncomfortably close proximity to Chicago, and their style of politics has leeched in through osmosis.  Nobody knows how many votes will be manufactured for the libtards. 

 I will never forget Tommy Thompson going on national TV during the 2000 election as the meat of the results started coming in, and proclaiming that he was proud to deliver Wisconsin's whatever-it-was-then electoral votes for George Bush.  And then by the time all the votes were counted, Gore had won Wisconsin.  Whoopths.

33 Caveats about chickens, bags, and cocks aside...

If Walker pulls it off, that's when the creeping dispair of the Left begins, the moment where the everything  'unprecedented,' 'historic,' and exciting they've relied upon the last 3 years turns to ashes in their mouths.

The wailing and gnashing of teeth will be like a symphony of Schadenfreude.

That's the election the J-S ran an article (my bf at the time lived in MKE and got the paper) where they had interviewed Marquette and UW-M students who admitted to voting for Gore two, three, and four times.  The majority of fraudsters voted once absentee at their parents' address and once on campus.

Yeah, nomination for US Senate candidate.  The candidate is an actual state legislator so he's not just a random Paultard picked out of a crowd, but the obnoxious Paultards did show up get him nominated.

It's more or less meaningless though, there's little chance the GOP will win that Senate race with any of the mostly unknown candidates that were up for nomination.

68 i have some gay friends from wisconsin. they're rich, white-collar workers, and yet being Terminally Liberal, all they can do is bemoan the "loss" of unions -- naturally, they had trouble offering why they predicted a "loss" of unions with the absence of pretty clear-cut intimidating tactics -- and the "american ideal", which, apparently, is i brought up that even the milwaukee journal-sentinel, a bastion of left-leaning ideological opinion, offered an argument (which i first learned about here, iirc) AGAINST the recall as being a rather shamefully belligerent and largely unpolitical expression of policy disagreement, given the lack of any criminality on walker's part. their answer to that revelation hovered somewhere between "walker is a criminal for ruining so many people's LIVES" and "romney paid for that op-ed". natch, i was done with the conversation at that point, but i'll have to say they didn't take kindly to my suggestion that wisconsin's economic woes might have been best served by a diversification away from Only Cheese, All The Time, as cheese is kind of nasty and puts ugly fat rolls on the midsections of aging homosexuals. as an aside, i pretty much love the concept of intrade. it inadvertently exposes that stock exchange trading, and really investment in general, is nothing more than glorified, often-high-stakes gambling on the movement of markets, market sectors, or particular ventures.

Perhaps said Harvard researcher couldn't understand the big words the "most conservative Republicans" were using, so the MCR had to revert to words the HR could understand.

 

I wonder how this researcher "grades" such "complex speech" as "Guam will tip over if there are too many people at one end" or "Now show us where the American flag is that the astronauts put up (on Mars)".....

Effective speech is that which is adjusted for the audience to convey the greatest understanding of the subject.

Intellectuals and academics, also wish to convey a particular understanding.... that they possess an impressive vocabulary. They could give a shit less whether any other message is conveyed.

221 The earnings on the wealth (So, far a massive loss) and anything else he earns IS Community Property.

"We begin by noting that in California, property acquired prior to marriage is separate, while property acquired during the marriage is presumed community property. (Civ.Code, §§ 5107, 5108, 5110.) Income from separate property is separate, the intrinsic increase of separate property is separate, but the fruits of the community's expenditures of time, talent, and labor are community property. (Civ.Code, §§ 5107, 5108; Perkins, Appreciation of the Separately Owned, Closely Held Business (1987) 14 Comm.Prop.J. 62, 64.)"  (In re Marriage of Dekker (1993) 17 Cal.App.4th 842, 850 [21 Cal.Rptr.2d 642, 646-47])

Issue resolved, at least under CA law.

222 Zombie found documentation of WI union tactics of the '50s and the similarities to the modern day WI union tactics.

From their beginnings, unions have really only had one tool in their people skills kit - intimidation and violence.

If their value add was as sweet as they claim, gaining new members would not be a problem, nor would there be any problems convincing corporations that it was somehow desirable to run a union shop.

The truth is, there's almost no value add.  They tried to unionize IBM many times and fail in the votes each time because IBM employees realized the union had nothing to offer them other than a less responsive management chain than IBM's own, and less money in their paychecks because of exorbitant dues.

The move concentrates power over the use of lethal U.S. force outside war zones at the White House. ????Because that worked SO WELL during the Vietnam War?

342 C. S. Lewis on Liberal Arts Education
On Principle, v7n2
April 1999

by: Gregory Dunn


When I received my Master of Arts degree, as a gift I was given a T-shirt that read, "Liberal Arts Major: Will Think for Food." The gift drew a smile then, and the phrase draws a smile now, for it is a common sentiment that those who pursue what is called a "liberal arts education" may have refined intellects but may also have difficulty paying the bills once out of school. In truth, it is a widely held perception that such an education is, at best, impractical and unnecessary and that it is preferable to obtain a more useful degree, such as accounting, nursing, or engineering. After all, with the time and expense of college education today, what use is it to leave school without developing any marketable skills? In short, what good are the liberal arts?

In answering this question, we will find it helpful to look to C. S. Lewis for insight. Although best known in his roles as imaginative writer, Christian apologist, and literary critic, we should not forget that his profession was first an Oxford tutor and later a Cambridge professor and that he spent the balance of his life--nearly forty years--in the academy teaching literature. As such, Lewis wrote many incisive essays offering a number of reasons why the pursuit of a liberal education is truly indispensable.

To Preserve Civilization

The first reason we study the liberal arts has to do with freedom. That freedom is an integral part of the liberal arts is borne out in LewisÂ’s observation that, "liberal comes of course from the Latin, liber, and means free." Such an education makes one free, according to Lewis, because it transforms the pupil from "an unregenerate little bundle of appetites" into "the good man and the good citizen." We act most human when we are reasonable, both in thought and deed. Animals, on the other hand, act wholly out of appetite. When hungry, they eat; when tired, they rest. Man is different. Rather than follow our appetites blindly we can be deliberate about what we do and when we do it. The ability to rule ourselves frees us from the tyranny of our appetites, and the liberal arts disciplines this self-rule. In other words, this sort of education teaches us to be most fully human and, thereby, to fulfill our human duties, both public and privat e.

Lewis contrasts liberal arts education with what he calls "vocational training," the sort that prepares one for employment. Such training, he writes, "aims at making not a good man but a good banker, a good electrician, . . . or a good surgeon." Lewis does admit the importance of such training--for we cannot do without bankers and electricians and surgeons--but the danger, as he sees it, is the pursuit of training at the expense of education. "If education is beaten by training, civilization dies," he writes, for "the lesson of history" is that "civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost." It is the liberal arts, not vocational training, that preserves civilization by producing reasonable men and responsible citizens.

To Avoid the Errors of Our Times

A second reason we study the liberal arts is to avoid the prejudices of our age. "Every age," Lewis writes, "has its own outlook. It is specially good at seeing certain truths and specially liable to make certain mistakes." The way to avoid being ensnared by the popular errors of our day, then, is to rub minds with the great men of the past, and the only way to do that is to read books.

But they must be the right sort of books. Lewis is adamant that a diet of contemporary books will not do the trick. "All contemporary writers share to some extent the contemporary outlook," he writes, and this outlook brings with it a "great mass of common assumptions" that conceal a pervasive "characteristic blindness." Even those writers who seem most opposed to each other will share this intellectual blind spot and will thus make similar mistakes. "Where they are true they will give us truths which we half knew already," Lewis writes. "Where they are false they will aggravate the error with which we are already dangerously ill."

The only remedy is to cultivate a discipline of carefully reading old books. His advice: "It is a good rule, after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between." In this way, we are able to identify and correct those misperceptions that prevent our seeing the truth.

Lewis makes clear that the reason we consult the minds of the past is not because they were perfect; in truth, they were as subject to their own blind spots as we are to ours. The crucial difference is that they did not have the same blind spots. Such writers will not likely affirm the errors we now make. We will now not likely make the same errors they did. As Lewis writes, "two heads are better than one, not because either is infallible, but because they are unlikely to go wrong in the same direction."

To Pursue Our Vocation

A third reason we study the liberal arts is because it is simply our nature and duty. Man has a natural thirst for knowledge of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, and men and women of the past have made great sacrifices to pursue it in spite of the fact that, as Lewis puts it, "human life has always been lived on the edge of a precipice." In his words, "they propound mathematical theorems in beleaguered cities, conduct metaphysical arguments in condemned cells, make jokes on scaffolds." So, finding in the soul an appetite for such things, and knowing no appetite is made by God in vain, Lewis concludes that the pursuit of the liberal arts is pleasing to God and is possibly, for some, a God-given vocation.

Everyone is called by God to do some work, yet each calling is different for each person, and part of the art of Life consists in finding and fulfilling this calling. As Lewis writes, "a mole must dig to the glory of God and a cock must crow." Further, those who pursue a life of learning perform a valuable service for those who do not. "Good philosophy must exist," Lewis writes, "if for no other reason, because bad philosophy must be answered." If those who possess the inclination and leisure for the life of the mind refuse to enter the arena of ideas--"not to be able to meet the enemies on their own ground"--then they will place those who have no such inclination and leisure at the mercy of proponents of bad ideas. In LewisÂ’s words, "nonsense draws evil after it." As Lewis concludes, "we can therefore pursue knowledge as such, in the sure confidence that by so doing we are either advancing to the vision of God ourselves or indirectly helping others to do so. . . . The intellectual life is not the only road to God, nor the safest, but we find it to be a road, and it may be the appointed road for us."

Last year marked the centenary of C. S. LewisÂ’s birth. He was a good man and a rigorous thinker, and he has changed the lives of many through his insightful writings. We are fully justified in honoring his life. Further, we will honor his legacy by remembering the indispensable nature of a liberal arts education. Truly, we ignore the liberal arts only at our peril. Without them we will find ourselves increasingly unable to preserve a civilized society, to escape from the errors and prejudices of our day, and to struggle in the arena of ideas to the glory of God.

372 'Donkey rape' sparks tribal massacre in Yemen By Staff Published Monday, May 21, 2012 Fifteen people were killed or injured in tribal fighting in Yemen after a male donkey chased an ass and raped it just near the house of its owner. Newspapers in Yemen said the owner of the ass got mad after he saw the donkey attacking his animal, prompting him to chase the donkey and hit it. The attack infuriated the donkey owner, who called his armed tribe men and asked them to take revenge. “The problem snowballed into an armed fight between Makabis tribe, which owns the donkey, and Bani Abbas which owns the ass…15 people were either killed or injured in the battle,” the Saudi Arabic language daily Aleqtisadiah said, quoting newspapers in Yemen. What was that 'Country Joe" song: Something about "what are we fighting for, I don't know, I don't damn"?

377 Drove from northern suburbs of Chicago to Madison, like I do most weeks. There is no doubt that the signage is changing. The "I Support Scott Walker" signs are coming out of the woodwork, while the Recall Walker signs are pretty much only seen within commuting distance to Madison.

The oddest thing is that it seems like they never thought to create any Tom Barrett signs. Either folks are making their own (fairly pathetic actually), or are resigned to stick with the Recall Walker signs--signifying what they are voting against rather than what they are voting for.

This is the first week when I became sure that Walker is going to win unless something really odd happens. I think we are outside the fraud zone.

Thats something I wouldn't regret. In my senior year of high school, "Carter" sent me a letter reminding me to register for the selective service. I brushed it off, they sent another, brushed that off and they sent me a last chance letter, a form already filled out, and a little tiny  red pencil. So I signed it. But I regret THAT.

I hit *3, but I didn't get to ask my questions, which were:

1) What's your specific plan to keep the state in the black without raising taxes, you cockweasel?

2)  Are you planning on prosecuting your wife for her violations of campaign law in the state for her campaigning for you on state equipment as a teacher?

Maybe.  I had selfish reasons -- I wanted to see the world, and the Army was only offering one small square.  The Navy took me as an E-2 (had a year of college).

I did volunteer for "West Coast Sea Duty", got it, and saw and walked over everything except Vietnam and Cambodia.  We just bombed the shit out of those a lot, but I never saw them.  I got medals and ribbons for bombing shit I never saw.

And I'm a shellback!

410 WH Committed to TRICARE Fee Hikes Week of May 21, 2012 The House Armed Services Committee recently forwarded the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2013 (HR4310) to the full House for a vote. The bill omitted many of the TRICARE Fee increases proposed by the White House. The Office of Management and Budget issued a response in which they stated that senior advisors would recommend that President would veto the bill if it passed Congress. But he loves the Military?

I was on the USS Hancock (CVA-19), Fighter Squadron (VF-24).
It still had a "bent" prop shaft from a Kamikaze in the battle of Leyte Gulf.  Every time we hit 27+ knots the ship rattled.
We routinely did that between Hawaii and the Philippines -- for days on end.

At the last second it passed over his head and scored a direct hit on the gun emplacement aft of him, killing dozens of Marines who were manning it.

426 412 Lexington was one of the most orderly abandonings in WW2,I think just about everyone got off in time.Some guys had served aboard her since the 20's and wept when she sank.Lady Lex was beloved. That is true. Not a man was lost during the abandonment, not counting those who were lost during the battle and the subsequent fires and explosions. And the men wept when she was scuttled. She was beloved by all of them. I saw a recent article in the Wall Street Journal where the Australian government has given the ships sunk during that battle protected historical site status. Australians remember the Battle of the Coral Sea much more than Americans do.

The majority of fraudsters voted once absentee at their parents' address and once on campus." HEY, I REMEMBER THAT STORY, TOO!! So WTF didn't new Prez Bush do a goddam thing about it once he controlled the USAG office?

431 For the last 2 days, I have been reading the comments on the MJS editorial that back handedly endorsed Walker. The editorial in itself is funny in a unintentional way. They go on about how he should have not been so pushy and explained his intentions more, blah blah. But the comments are a gold mine of primal screaming prog/libs. Trying to say the election was about everything but collective bargaining. Bitter predictions of doom. Walker is a criminal, and a liar, and he didn't Tell Us Exactly What He Was Going To Do when he got elected!!!1! And Koch Brothers OH NOES!! You rethuglicans are controlling the media!!$$! And you don't want roads and schools and firefighters at ALL! I'm telling you it is a schadenfest with pitchers full of democrat tears and back hand sandwiches all day long. The conservatives wit is nearly up to moron standard, and they are running out of fresh forks to stick in 'em. Absolutely too much fun.
