Overnight Open Thread (3-14-2012)
— Maetenloch

Okay sure Obama may have spoken at a rally for Prof. Derrick Bell while a law student at Harvard but that was a long time ago and doesn't mean that he subscribed to his racial views or anything, right?

Well here's what Prof. Barack Obama was teaching at the University of Chicago Law School. This is his Spring Term 1994 Syllabus for his "Current Issues in Racism and the Law" seminar. And guess whose works appear in the required reading.

Okay maybe Bell wasn't just some guy in the intellectual neighborhood after all.

Real Chuck Norris Facts

Okay not as entertaining as the Internet Chuck Norris facts but ultimately more impressive.

His Real Name Isn't "Charles"
He Was Bullied As A Kid
The Air Force Made Him Who He Is
He Influenced A Lot of People You Wouldn't Expect
Before He Succeeded, He Failed - A Lot

Read the article to find out about the real Chuck Norris.

Federal Court: Quoting Newspaper Articles Online is Fair Use

The decision also clarifies that a common practice on the Internet - excerpting a few sentences and linking to interesting articles elsewhere - is a fair use, not an infringement of copyright.

Which pretty much invalidates RightHaven's former business plan - suing bloggers who use Fair Use excerpts but who can't afford to defend themselves in court.

The Fellowship of The Ring Commentary

As recorded by Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn. For some unexplained reason this was never included in the DVD.

Chomsky: ...Of course, if that happened, the entire economy would be disrupted.
Zinn: The pipe-weed-based economy.
Chomsky: And, as you pointed out earlier, the military-industrial-complex that exists in Gondor. This constant state of alertness. This constant state of fear. And here Gandalf reveals his true nature.

Double Barreled Pistols

Genius or stupidity - or a bit of both?

Take this double .45-caliber handgun to the range to attract great scorn and admiration simultaneously. To commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of John Moses Browning's model 1911, Italian gunmaker Arsenal Firearms produced a functional movie prop.

Amish Hooliganism

Authorities in western New York say they've charged four young Amish adults with illegal possession of alcohol after their buggy collided with a police car responding to a report of a drinking party under way.
...As a patrol car arrived on the scene, one of the Amish buggies changed lanes, colliding with the police vehicle. The buggy flipped onto its side, causing minor injuries to one of the people on board.

Police say several other buggies fled the scene.

Tolkien Explains To His German Publisher That He Isn't Jewish

In 1938, some months after the initial publication of The Hobbit, J. R. R. Tolkien and his British publisher, Stanley Unwin, opened talks with RÃƒÂ¼tten & Loening, a Berlin-based publishing house who were keen to translate the novel for the German market. All was going well until, in July, they wrote to Tolkien and asked for proof of his Aryan descent.

25 July 1938
20 Northmoor Road, Oxford
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for your letter. I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-Iranian; as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy, or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people. My great-great-grandfather came to England in the eighteenth century from Germany: the main part of my descent is therefore purely English, and I am an English subject - which should be sufficient. I have been accustomed, nonetheless, to regard my German name with pride, and continued to do so throughout the period of the late regrettable war, in which I served in the English army. I cannot, however, forbear to comment that if impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride.

Your enquiry is doubtless made in order to comply with the laws of your own country, but that this should be held to apply to the subjects of another state would be improper, even if it had (as it has not) any bearing whatsoever on the merits of my work or its sustainability for publication, of which you appear to have satisfied yourselves without reference to my Abstammung.

I trust you will find this reply satisfactory, and
remain yours faithfully,

J. R. R. Tolkien

The Story of Keep Calm and Carry On

The British WWII Keep Calm and Carry On poster has become iconic in recent years, but it turns out that it was never actually used during the war. The British government commissioned it in 1939 but planned to only issue it in the most dire of circumstances which luckily never came to pass. This is its story.

Meggie Mac Now in Therapy

I have large breasts. I know! They're real, I can't do anything about it and the internet just has this really weird reaction to my body . I've seen a therapist about it, if that means anything. There's like this obsession (with my body). I think people don't understand why I haven't lost a bunch of weight right now, because [sarcastic] 'all women in the media should lose a bunch of weight if they want to go on television to talk about anything.'

Well being a bit heavy is fixable, but being a vapid whiny narcissist probably isn't. And I figure as a country we're already full up on kinda chunky blond airheads.

OK, am I supposed to be in awe of the Kony video, or annoyed by it. I am asking because I thought it was resolved in the ONT last week, and now rdbrewer is linking to it in the sidebar because it is the most viral video ever. So, what's a poor conservative who doesn't want to think for herself supposed to do?

I mean, I almost egged the car in the grocery store parking lot with the enormous KONY 2012 decal taking up the entire back car window. Was that wrong?

The friends in question are generally mild liberals, those I'd say are "low information voters" (if they even vote).

78 22 and 44-- Maybe the custom varies by discipline? I'm a business professor, here we use Dr. and essentially never use Professor. We use first names amongst colleagues and most staff (admin assts, etc...) but in the interests of respect and formality, Dr. is used by students, grad assts, and those outside the college. I think the only time I can think of where Professor is used is from our Asian students, it is the custom over there I guess. Bottomline, I don't think academics get too caught up about the title, just don't use "Mr." or "Ms." if you have a PhD, that drives us nuts!

99 84 22 and 44--

Maybe the custom varies by discipline? I'm a business professor, here we use Dr. and essentially never use Professor. We use first names amongst colleagues and most staff (admin assts, etc...) but in the interests of respect and formality, Dr. is used by students, grad assts, and those outside the college.

I think the only time I can think of where Professor is used is from our Asian students, it is the custom over there I guess.

Bottomline, I don't think academics get too caught up about the title, just don't use "Mr." or "Ms." if you have a PhD, that drives us nuts!

Posted by: bobscountrybuffet at March 14, 2012 11:03 PM (8HscD)

--I speak in the general-etiquette, Miss Manners sense, as if you were introducing yourself to a layman. If students call me "Doctor," I do not go out of the way to correct them, but I always sign and introduce myself as Professor. I know that in Germany they have a much different convention, wherein for example only Full Professors are addressed as Professor.

I do not like thee, Doctor Fell,
The reason why I cannot tell;
But this I know, and know full well,
I do not like thee, Doctor Fell.

Well I started to adapt it for Obama but it kinda got out of hand --

I do not like Barack Hussein,
The reason why I canÂ’t explain;
   (But I can try -- heÂ’s hugely vain,
   And looks down with immense disdain
   On every Tom and Dick and Jane
   While pundits praise him as Â“urbaneÂ”,
   Yet any document germane
   To what is rattling in his brain
   Is under lock and key and chain
   And no one knows what they contain.
   While preaching that we must abstain
   From all excess, he sends his plane
   To MarthaÂ’s Vineyard or to Spain
   (But not to redstates drowned in rain!)
   For Â“vacayÂ” and then home again
   To party and to swill champagne
   While big-shot singers entertain,
   Yet has the chutzpah to complain
   That presidentingÂ’s such a strain
   He needs his golf to ease the pain.
   He pushes for a high-speed train
   And lemons in the diamond lane
   And energy from sun and grain
   And windmills blighting the terrain
   Regardless of what facts pertain,
   As long as cronies stand to gain.
   He lies in an unending skein
   In hopes that each lie can obtain
   A few more votes for his campaign,
   So he might win and thus retain
   A despotÂ’s hold on his domain.
   He uses press legerdemain
   To hide what quotes are too inane,
   And savage all who dare profane
   The greatness of ObamaÂ’s reign
   Though facts are twisted till they sprain!
   And meanwhile, no one dare arraign
   His minions who compound the bane,
   Like those who bear GunwalkerÂ’s stain
   Or unilaterally ordain
   The rules that idle pump and crane.
   He spends at rates we canÂ’t sustain
   As we go swirling down the drain
   And see our countryÂ’s standing wane,
   But all we hearÂ’s the same refrain ---
   Â“Bush did it!Â” and Â“OsamaÂ’s slain!Â”
   It makes you wonder if cocaine
   Or trauma rendered him insane.
   It even makes you want McCain!
   If I go on IÂ’ll burst a vein,
   IÂ’d better finish this quatrain--)
But this I know, and still maintain:
I do not like Barack Hussein.

184 Hell, given the dire economic circumstances of Europe, you can probably purchase an honorific title on the cheap.
Actually, the British government (and the Crown?) is selling honorific titles that no longer carry any special status. It allows auto-upgrading in BOAC (or whatever it is now) and some other privileges that I can't recall now. I seem to recall Thene of Cawdor (from ~~Macbeth~~ the Scottish play) was one of the titles sold.

Absolutely it is. It's written in the first person (shocka!), instead of in the third person ("the course will address ..."), as is standard. The syllabus is about the course and the students (specifically, what the course will cover, what its prerequisites are, what students need to read), not the lecturer, who is basically irrelevant to the educational mission. It's a thoroughly unprofessional document. I'd have called one of my teaching assistants onto the carpet for writing such drivel.

Poor baby. Try this on for size:

that is a rookie mistake. I did something similar the first time I taught a class, I put a book that was "recommended but not required", but I strongly urged the class to read it anyway, as it would be helpful. when they ended up not getting it, the next semester I made it required. problem solved.

Yes, it is. Any sign of uncertainty, any hesitation, any wiggle room, and undergraduates in particular smell blood in the water. Every Sgt. Bilko wannabe comes out of the woodwork to try his angle. Grad students aren't so prone to this, but undergraduate service courses are chock-a-block with jailhouse lawyers.

I looked at the twin-barreled .45. I see 2 triggers, side-by-side. It looks like 2 shots at a time are expected, or wasting ammo is assumed, since the slide looks like it is shared ... when at least one barrel is fired, the slide ejects both barrels.

The craftsmanship looks quite good, but the design ....

(I'm happy to hash out the MD vs. PhD thing if you want--my conclusion, not surprisingly, would be that the former is a tougher road to hoe than the latter.)

Conservative Crank, my point was that bang for the buck strongly disfavors the Ph.D. Sure, J.D.'s work their asses off as associates, and M.D.'s do so as residents ... but so do Ph.D's as assistant profs. The first two eventually score some bucks, but not the latter.

To your point, to get his degree I believe the average M.D. has to work harder than the average Ph.D. (even in the sciences; forget the social sciences and the humanities), but not harder than the average professor in the sciences in big league research institutions, who generally makes a lot less (but again, isn't sued, either).

341 I raised a little hell with a cop tonight. I'm driving north on I-75 and pass a cop, parked on the shoulder. The door on his black and white is open. He, dressed in black, is standing outside it (driver side) shooting radar in the dark. I called 911 which had his supervisor call me. I told him it was the stupidist thing I had seen all day and if this was dept procedure they were going to end up with a hurt or dead cop. Standing between you vehicle and a busy hughway at night dressed in black in the darkest spot you can find hoping to make a little money on tickets. This area is a well know speed trap. Duh!

That was just a syllabus in the neighborhood. I don't know anything about that. I think one of my aides filled it out ... with my handwritten notes. That's not the seminar class I knew.

The actual mechanics of our political systems are totally different. It's impossible for us to become Europe. We're just going straight to ochlocracy.

But the point is that the extreme right in America has nothing to do with monarchy. The collectivists are all on the left in America. In the rest of the world monarchists sit on the right of collectivist, party-oriented, crappy parliamentary systems. Here, they are on the left. Anarchists sit on the extreme right in America. And again, not the fake Euro-anarchists (who are just punks bent on mindless destruction and mostly anti-capitalist more than anything) but actual political anarchists.

Funny you mentioned Skyrim because I got that after I traded in a bunch of incompatible (with my PS3) PS2 games. I'm only a little bit in Skryim, but I like what I see so far. I also have to continue Arkham Asylum at some point... As for Skyrim, several people here have already played it: Alex, Buzzion, Mergovian... so you might want to relate any Skyrim-related questions to them.

Anarchists are temporary tools, always discarded after some ends have been met.

This topic isn't well served by my short out-gassing here, but there are some questions:

Does it matter to Utopians in power that they turn a blind eye to...well, anything?

Are our systems being changed, despite the attempt of the founders to keep government from becoming fickle?

Ugh, there surely are many more questions to give this topic it's due...but I'm not capable at the moment to raise them.

Can I be wrong? So long as pride comes before...something!

A brief look around the webs implies that it's a decent game, with it's sequel Witcher 2 being a critical and commercial success. But if you want something a bit different that's a known good quality, go with Mass Effect.

From somebody who played 3 elder scrolls games (morrowind, oblivion, skyrim), its just how that shit goes. There are tons and tons of side quests. You actually need to do this. The side quests boost skills and give you good ways to get loot and weapons, and in skyrim you will need it.

.. Didn't ... (I pantomimed instead)

...Say ... (I drew a picture)

....He .... (it wasn't him, it was actually Bean)

Actually, I find this tremendously amusing. To begin with, I don't watch TV. We have cable, because the BH wants it, but the only TV I see is when I'm moving through a room where she has it on. We don't go to movies -- I think the last one I saw was Harry Potter -- and the one before that was.....wait for it....Harry Potter. I rarely buy new music releases and don't listen to radio. The only way I know these people -- if I know them at all -- is because of the internet.

But it leaves me with a very curious view. I know Jennifer Anniston as the cute love-interest in Office Space, but never saw her on Friends.....and have no idea why she's so popular on the cover of supermarket checkout magazines. Anderson Cooper is some flaming guy who has something to do with CNN. I don't think I've ever seen a full episode of anything with Robert Downey, jr.

631 Actually, I find this tremendously amusing. To begin with, I don't watch TV. We have cable, because the BH wants it, but the only TV I see is when I'm moving through a room where she has it on. We don't go to movies -- I think the last one I saw was Harry Potter -- and the one before that was.....wait for it....Harry Potter. I rarely buy new music releases and don't listen to radio. The only way I know these people -- if I know them at all -- is because of the internet. But it leaves me with a very curious view. I know Jennifer Anniston as the cute love-interest in Office Space, but never saw her on Friends.....and have no idea why she's so popular on the cover of supermarket checkout magazines. Anderson Cooper is some flaming guy who has something to do with CNN. I don't think I've ever seen a full episode of anything with Robert Downey, jr. Posted by: cthulhu at March 15, 2012 03:48 AM (kaalw) similar situation. we have family visit every so often and some have their shows and they are not gonna miss them. since they are on I have some exposure to the things the cool kids are watching these days. every so often we get someone who shows up for extended stays and I really get learned. I have seen a the price is right, big bang theory, psych, and a couple of other shows lately.

I am willing to spank it off her or help he in other ways. However, if you are a television actor or actress and all you do is make 30 or so episodes of a half-hour show a year, you have a relatively low stress career and plenty of time to hit the gym.

I have no idea how she did not manage to leverage her body and her attitude into a career. she was effin hot, and as my hollywood friend assures me there was not a lot of acting in her character, mostly amplification. again, deinitely needs a spanking - and that would have only mad her madder. strong headed, hot, women, sigh. I think she swelled up after having getting married and doing the kid thing. that is a show I did watch. spanking has been too prevalent in my comments lately. I should probably talk to someone.

I am not sure what it is perhaps she is getting to that age where she is interested in those things but it is embarrassing because she is just the right height to shove her entire muzzle right into my crotch, or someone else's. it is especially awkward in the elevator. but you are right, it does provide an opening, dog looks at pretty girl, wags tail, shoves head in crotch, girl giggles and gently pushed methlab away. yankee does same thing - well I will let you know from my home computer or the one at rikers island, or her computer what happens.

I like that much better than labradoodle. I am endlessly perplexed by the way people respond to pitbulls. I never intended to have one but this one really needed rescuing. I may have bored you all with the details before but when we went to the shelter she was so sick and depressed she was the only dog that would not come to the front of her kennel to greet anyone, it took five minutes of coaxing to get her to come over and then all she did is sniff and drag herself back to her corner and lie down facing the wall. The better half decided that that dog needed some rescuing right there. and she really took some rescuing - will bore you with the details some other time. I agree that they are powerful dogs but they, as a breed, are no worse than any other. the worst dogs in our building are a couple of labs that the owners let wander around off leash.

718 I never take pictures of anything, hate to carry a camera and not satisfied with my 5mp phone cameras. she is a bout 60 pounds black with a white chest and four white feet. apparently some mad scientist was running experiments in the bronx to make pitmixes with the same color scheme all over the place. we have had problems where some fluke at the dog park accused our dog of hurting her dog. we were not even in town when it happened, but for the first few minutes everyone assumed it had to be our dog because four white feet must be a rare color scheme, then two more walked by while we were talking.

719 We had a Lab in the neighborhood that had done hospital visits and was well socialized and trained (she'd go visiting people on her walks until she got to a street crossing, then sit until she was told it was clear to cross). The only time I saw her growl was with a Pit she knew, who kept wiggling into her petting party. It was a "go away, kid, you bother me" growl -- but it was so out-of-character that it was shocking. Then, again, the Pit was really pulling out all the stops.

724 Posted by: cthulhu at March 15, 2012 05:01 AM (kaalw) oh I like labs lots, as everyone always says it is not so much the dog as the owner if you have a problem. it sounds like the labrador in this instance was "talking dog" to another dog to relax a little. my complaint bout the one in our building is that the owners assume that their dogs are not a potential problem because of the breed so they do not manage them correctly.

738 I'm an adjunct instructor, like he was. To give yourself the title "Prof" in writing is, like farting in an elevator, wrong on many levels. He might as well call himself "Doctor" or "Prince".

739 Barky's syllabus is a real lightweight -- no surprise, because so is he -- not even one hundred pages of material to read. But Professor Bell is soooooooo dreamy!

Ah, my Alma Mater. Bunch of fuckwits, for the most part. That and people who take languages. A bunch of rich liberal children. Ick.

Middlebury embarassed themselves both times we had conservative speakers on campus: Ari Fleischer (an alumnus) and Chief Justice Roberts.

Quite odd that Prof Obama told his LAW STUDENTS that they could either read the actual cases (which lawyers, ya know, do for a living) OR read a radical's interpretations ("summary") of them. Law school is nothing BUT reading the actual cases; having a really smart, arrogant, and incapable of working in the real world guy ask you questions about them (also known as the Socratic method); and attempting to figure out a rule from them. The way Obama set up his assignment - either read it yourself or have somebody else tell you what it means - defeats the purpose of law school, which is to teach you how to read a case and extract a holding from it. Now, add to that that the "somebody else" is not going to tell the student what the case ACTUALLY means, but through his "summary," what he THINKS IT SHOULD MEAN and you have ... indoctrination!

And it's "You're White," dumbass, not "Your White" (Title of the Steele piece).

Definitely not a starving aspiring actress. She'd been working regularly since she was six. She already had a hit sitcom for three seasons that was sunk by the death of John Ritter. Although she wasn't the first person cast for the role in Big Bang Theory. The unaired pilot has a very different character.
