Okay somehow I managed to get this far in life without ever being arrested or knowing about this 1969 musical (it was made into a movie in 1972).
Written by Sherman Edwards and Peter Stone, it ran for 1,217 performances. It's hard to believe that forty-three years ago, it was still popular to write an unabashedly patriotic musical that openly celebrated American exceptionalism and painted the founding fathers not just as humans but as the intellectual and moral giants that they were. Because the 1972 film version is tantamount to a filmed version of the play rather than a Hollywood re-interpretation, its original intent and form is easily accessible to today's audience. It deserves a good look and therefore, on this July 4th, let's take some time exploring and enjoying this American musical about America:
...The brilliance of the drama in this show is not "will they do it?" since everyone in the audience knows they will. The drama lies in "how are they gonna pull this off?" The show uses a simple but very theatrical and dramatic device by showing a giant day calendar on the wall above John Hancock's desk. Each new scene shows the calendar page ripped away revealing what day we are witnessing.
Ah Those Dishonest Human Rights Hypocrites
IT'S AS IF ALL THAT HUMAN-RIGHTS CONCERN WAS JUST PARTISAN HACKERY: Liberals ignore Obama's Guantanamos: The same people who excoriated Bush's war on terror are letting Obama do as he pleases.
Let me be clear: All you people who were playing the have-you-no-decency card under Bush, but who aren't screaming just as loud now - which is pretty much all of you people who were playing the have-you-no-decency card under Bush - were and are miserable lying hacks. And I thank Obama for making that perfectly clear, at least.
Thomas Jefferson: Scientist, Inventor, Gadgeteer, and Politician
We were truly blessed that the political leaders of the US at the founding were men who were classically educated, curious and knowledgeable about the world, and had politics as just one of their many interests:
There is a story that on one occasion, while stopping at an inn, Jefferson spent the evening with an educated stranger from the North who was so charmed with his conversation and amazed at his learning that he inquired of the innkeeper who his companion might be.
"When he spoke law, I thought he was a lawyer; when he talked about mechanics, I was sure he was an engineer; when he got into medicine, it was evident he was a physician; when he discussed theology, I was convinced he must be a clergyman; when he talked of literature, I made up my mind that I had run against a college professor who knew everything." (Curtis, 1901)
Monticello, Jefferson's home, was filled with examples of his scientific philosophy. An inventor and gadgeteer of great ingenuity, Jefferson's practical innovations or improvements on others inventions included: the swivel chair, the polygraph, letter press, hemp break. pedometer, mouldboard plow, sulky, folding chair, dumb-waiter, double acting doors, a seven day clock, and a wind vane on the eastern portico of Monticello that enabled him to see which way the wind was blowing on a raining day without getting wet. The entry hall at Monticello was made by Jefferson into a museum to display his many scientific interests. The displays included fossils and specimens from the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
The Florida Policeman Who Can Not Be Fired
He has been investigated by police 40 times; has been accused of battery, car theft, boarding a plane with a loaded gun, and carrying drugs.German Bosque is likely one of the worst repeat offenders in Opa-Locka, Florida - and he's a police officer.
Sgt Bosque, 48, who joined the force in 1993, has been arrested and jailed three times.
Sgt German Bosque has been arrested and jailed three times and has been disciplined, suspended, fined and sent home on full pay more than any other officer operating in the state
He has been accused of beating and stealing from suspects, ignoring direct orders and writing out false police reports, including one in which he hit himself to make an alleged fight appear genuine.
Bosque has been found driving with a suspended licence, with counterfeit money, and in possession of cocaine and crack pipes in his car. Girlfriends allege he has been violent.
Yet Bosque, who lives with his fiancée in North Miami, still manages to keep his job in one of the most notorious police departments in the state.
Well where there's this much smoke, I always figure there's a whole lotta fire that they just didn't have proof for. On the other hand: it's Florida.
Bosque must have friends on high and/or some amazing FOP Jedi powers.

Dr. Rob Schneider Compares Vaccinations to Nuremberg Laws
So California has a proposed bill, AB 2109, which requires parents to obtain a note from their doctor before they can refuse to vaccinate their children. The purpose is to guarantee that they at least hear the benefits and true risks of the shots. But according to noted medical researcher Rob Schneider this is just like the Nazi laws:
"My wife is 5 months pregnant, and I'm for parent's rights, not government coercion to tell us what we can and can't do with our kids. There is no other mandated procedure. It's illegal. You can't make people do procedures that they don't want. The parents have to be the ones who make the decisions for what's best for our kids. It can't be the government saying that. It's against the Nuremberg Laws."
Oh well Rob's movies are still a guilty pleasure of mine but when it comes to anything other than making me laugh, he's a retard.
Study Says Women Don't Date Unemployed Men
As if losing your job doesn't suck enough, a recent survey conducted by online dating site It's Just Lunch found that 75 percent of women wouldn't even go on a date with an unemployed man. Well, 42 percent of women would consider it. But 33 percent said there was no chance, while the other 25 percent said they would go on a date with a jobless guy.
Well ladies do prefer a guy with a jay-oh-bee but on the other hand I've always had the best success at meeting and dating women while between jobs or contracts. But I suspect that's mostly because I had more time than usual plus plenty of irons in the fire besides a job.
Yahoo group. That is all.

This is what pisses me off about the vaccination issue. The anti-vaccination crowd does not have the facts, yet they insist upon claiming that it is a private matter between them, their children and their physicians.
Fucking idiots.

A guy i roomed with in college has a tradition of watching 1776 every July 4th. I saw it with him for the first time last year, and I think it's a tradition i'll take up, too. And agreed, "Momma Look Sharp" is one of the saddest, most wrenching songs i've ever heard.

My side of the argument: The "anti-war" Left will go silent with Obama in office.
***
The left has only one moral principle - that which empowers the left is good, that which weakens it is bad.
Attacking Bush 43 for being mean to jihadis? Weakens a moderate president and conservatism as a whole.
Attacking Obama for summarily executing them? Weakens a hard core leftist and liberalism in general.
I do have to say, if I was that soldier who just got court martialed for summarily executing a jihadi bomb maker in Iraq, I might ask how what I did is different from what Obama is doing..

@CBD,
I'm presuming he means the "Nuremberg Code." Which only dealt with research. The ability of the governments to legislate public health issues is well established. (Although the WHO expansion of public health to include fricking everything is another story entirely.)
In either case, I've done some thinking about the vaccination issue and I'm convinced that what we have here an interesting case of overcompensation for the madate of vaccines. When mixed with the american standard of rugged individualism, the backlash becomes extreme. The very fact that government mandates vaccines becomes evidence that they're harmful. Of course if I'm right then the answer is to remove that bullet from the anti-vax moment's chamber, which would likely result in immediately fewer vaccines (but a huge outbreak of formerly contained diseases would end that shit really fast.)
The poli vaccine had actual risks (not 1 in a million risks or completely made up risks) but it didn't need no stinking laws, because polio was bad.

I hate flying to begin with, so I read reports like the above with horror. It amazes me that Airbus could manufacture an aircraft where two pilots can be doing opposite actions on the yoke and not be aware of it.

When my oldest sibling picked up chicken pox the pediatrician recommended letting her infect the rest of us and getting it over with. The first vaccine was still over 20 years away from use and it was considered inconvenient but harmless for small children.
I was so young I have no real memory of it.
But in 1991 I'd been working in a Crown books store for just a few months when we heard the guy who left the Assistant Manager position I filled to take over as Manager of the Ventura store died of complications of chicken pox. He'd been to the ER but was told to tough it out and sent home. A few hours later he started coughing up blood and died before his wife could get him help. He was 28.
A few years later and he might have been vaccinated. A doctor would likely have strongly urged it for an adult who had never been exposed as a child.

Pitot tubes froze up and the computers passed the buck to the pilots. Thus removing many limits on the flight controls. But the captain might have been in the rear cabin getting some nooky while the two co-pilots had no idea the stall alarm was actually a different alarm and the computers had gone on strike. And when the captain got back into the cockpit he did not assert his authority so the co-pilots fought each other without knowing it because of an Airbus design oversight that allowed each pilot to yank on his side controller without any indication the other controller might be being yanked in a different direction.
And thus Flt 447 belly flopped into the Atlantic Ocean killing everyone.

Really? Proof?
The truth is that there really isn't that much profit in vaccine manufacture due to regulatory hurdles and liability issues. That's why a few years ago we had a severe shortage of influenza vaccine because there was a problem at the London plant which produced a great deal of the flu vaccine.
While you bring up a good point concerning strain specificity of the influenza vaccine, getting a flu vaccine is still a good idea because of cross-protection.
Posted by: Kratos at July 06, 2012 12:02 AM (c1WVm)
I might also add that there are two flu vaccinations -- the shot and the snort. Quite apart from my phobia about being punctured, I've supported the flu snort as long as its been available because it is produced in a different fashion than the shot and in a much shorter timeframe -- making it much more accurate in the flavors of flu it protects against.

I don't think so, I looked up that boat on the interwebs. It's a 1984 34' silverton. Sits very high out of the water freeboard is probably 6' with a cabin and flybridge on top of that. It looks like it could tip over sitting at the dock. I used to own a 45' gulfstar sailboat and there is no way I would have put 27 people on it and the only way you could tip it over is cut off the keel or roll it in a 30' wave.

A friend of mine from work had a 48' Sea Ray and the most I ever remember being aboard, while at the dock, was perhaps 15, and that felt tight. He never, ever drank so much that he would have let 27 people aboard. If nothing else, he would have been embarrassed about all the finger-pointing and laughing as he moved about the river.

--
Even Palin beat Slow Joe.
To Condi's credit, she could wipe the floor with Hillary, Jarrett and Pelosi in trio. She could face off Raum.
That Condi said "absolutely not" better mean that, or her word's worth no more than another convenience lie. She might truly prefer her role as Sec. of State, or UN Ambassador.
Obviously, Ms. Rice would provide Mitt's deck with the "woman" and "black" cards for obnoxious bets based on identity politics. For the intellectuals, she speaks Russian and wouldn't repeat the Hillary/Barack "reset" faux pas wrong choice of word.
But admit, she would ensure the Bush III 2012 administration. Given that the Republican Leadership and RNC want more Big Government, eschewing truly constitutional governance, trampling (Tea Party) "vigilantes" under federal abuse, white washing themselves with kinder-gentler lip service, the Bush endorsement carries weight, and matters to Romney who supposedly has a choice.
On "absolutely not" -- Christie changing his lyrics illustrates the Republican Leadership meaning of "Just Say No" until you give it up.
