Happy Tuesday.

Yesterday, the 9th Circuit upheld California Prop 209, the anti-affirmative action amendment, from an equal protection challenge brought by minority students. Lawgeeks, the decision is here (PDF).

The latest Q-poll out of Pennsylvania still has Sen. Santorum in the lead in his home state. Santorum polls at 41%; Romney has 35%; Ron Paul crazies along at 10%; and Gingrich trails at 7%. Key number: 37% of likely primary voters say they might change their minds. Pennsylvania votes April 24.

Here's a fun little story (with video) on a morning news anchor in the UK who did an Irish jig during the newscast.

12 Science-ish story on early onset puberty in females.

http://tinyurl.com/bmz69go

NYT article.

I only highlight this article for two reasons.  One, the dude that actually goes into the science of puberty is buried in the back and derided as a bomb thrower (it's the sugar is toxic guy mentioned in one of Vic's links above).  The second thing is the one thing never ever mentioned in the entire story and that's birth control.  Stuff is known to have a serious affect on ecosystems and it's polluting the drinking water n a lot of places but God forbid a lefty sacred cow is ever gored.

18 1 - Not according to the Jesse James Museum... although calling it a "museum" is a bit of a stretch. They are dedicated to the belief that James was an old man who lived into the 1930s, I think. It's been a while since I was there. Anyway, who knows. We count on the MSM to give us the whatfor on James' demise, maybe they got it all wrong back then too.

Looks like Ann Romney needs to work some magic, because Willard's boyish charm and "touch of gray" pompadour 'ain't cutting it:

Swing States Poll: A shift by women puts Obama in lead

President Obama has opened the first significant lead of the 2012 campaign in the nation's dozen top battleground states, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, boosted by a huge shift of women to his side.

In the fifth Swing States survey taken since last fall, Obama leads Republican front-runner Mitt Romney 51%-42% among registered voters just a month after the president had trailed him by two percentage points.

The biggest change came among women under 50.

Enough to hide the fact that Mittens is losing the "war on women" badly.

Willard got badly flustered yesterday when he was asked about the tenants of his Mormon faith (which disallows miscegenation) affected his views on interracial marriage. He cut off the mic and refused to reply to the question.

For a guy who has been running for president for six years, Romney is making a lot of rookie errors.

Ed,

I am not a Romney supporter but this was the exchange:

I guess my question is do you believe it's a sin for a white man to marry and procreate with a black?" asked Hatch.

"No," Romney responded sternly, before turning to face the other side of the room.

40 The current word on statins is that if you have had a previous heart attack to continue taking them.  The benefits in that case far outweigh the risks.

Posted by: Vic at April 03, 2012 03:39 AM (YdQQY)

41 I was just talking to my GP about statins last week.  I'm on 5mg Crestor which my doc thinks is a dosage with so few side effects he predicts once it goes generic in a few years nearly everyone will be on them.

I never had really high cholesterol, but with a family history he put me on it.  I'm at about 65 LDL and 60 HDL for years now.

Posted by: Chi-Town Jerry at April 03, 2012 03:39 AM (UTq/I)

42 I think "No" was a pretty good answer. It would beat my "What the fuck is wrong with you, you stupid ugly scrunt?"

See how much more professional he was?

Posted by: dagny at April 03, 2012 03:41 AM (CMM9V)

43 The supposed Paul supporter who read his scripted question was quoting from a page of Mormon doctrine that is no longer part of the church's beliefs.  Romney did cut him off and asked him if he had a question, and when the Paul supporter asked if he believed interracial marriage was a prohibition from getting to heaven,  Romney said "No."

My personal opinion is that religious questions have no place in town hall meetings,  unless we all want to discuss the historic faults of our respective faiths.  I do not want Romney proselytizing or denying his faith in a press conference.  And it seems odd to me that at this late date a Paul supporter would show up to do this odd questioning;  I tend to think it was a plant and not really a Paul voter.

44 @35: I didn't see the clip, but keeping his trap shut and not giving the MSM a controversial soundbite strikes me as a skill Santorum would have benefitted from. There has always been a "gender gap," so that's nothing new. Manipulating the sample selection to accentute it is nothing new, either. I'm sure right now there is room for improvement, but I'd say the fault lies with the Rev. Santorum, and - let's face it - Obama's skillfull creation of the non-issue of contraception. But Romney has never said a word about contraception, except to emphasize no one is talking about banning it. This too will pass. In the end, 20 somethings will care more about the fact their vajajays are unemployed, than full of free government latex.

“I guess a lot of people say that, you know, your Mormon faith may not be a concern in the election. But I think, it might be,” said Bret Hatch, a 28-year-old from Green Bay who is unemployed.

He began reading a verse he said was from Mormon scripture, prompting Mr. Romney to cut him off.

“I’m sorry, we’re just not going to have a discussion about religion in my view, but if you have a question, I’ll be happy to answer your question,” Mr. Romney said.

“I guess my question is, do you believe it’s a sin for a white man to marry and procreate with a black?” Mr. Hatch said.

“No,” Mr. Romney said tersely, “Next question.”

<snip>

After the town hall, Mr. Hatch showed members of the media a printout of the verses he was referring to and said he believes the Mormon church views blacks as an inferior race.

“I think that’s an important issue,” said Mr. Hatch, a Ron Paul supporter. “He’s going against Obama. This is a racial issue.”

Not being a Mittens guy (I'm pretty much an I don't give a shit guy at this point) I thought he handled it well.  There was no mention of the mic getting cut and he gave that little race baiting turd a better answer than he deserved (I think "go fuck yourself" would have been appropriate in this case).

Four Democratic officials in Indiana have been charged with election fraud in connection with the 2008 campaign. The scheme is said to have had the backing of the local Democratic Party.

Prosecutors in South Bend, Ind., filed charges Monday against four St. Joseph County Democratic officials and deputies as part of a multiple-felony case involving the alleged forging of Democratic presidential primary petitions in the 2008 election, which put then-candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the Indiana ballot

Either your numbers are still too high or you already have enough plaque build-up for your doctor to be very proactive. Those are the only valid reasons I can think of for you to be taking statins.

Vic: it must suck to be you right now. You have my deepest sympathy for you and your wife's medical conditions.

Luckily, with some tolerable diet changes I've brought my cholesterol levels down to the "elevated" level -- doc says they're high but nothing to freak over right now. He wants more blood work done soon so I'm on a daily regime of morning oatmeal and Metamucil 3x. On the wagon, too, to lower my triglycerides. Last time I did the oatmeal thing for a month it dropped my numbers by 40%. With some more permanent diet changes I think I can keep my numbers in the acceptable range.

Just remember: porch rocker sitting and statins don't mix well, so get your liver functions tested frequently.

Blew out my back this morning. Thankfully, I'm off to see my sister who is the victim of several botched back surgeries. She has a mini-pharmacy of back medications and pain killers that really work. Hopefully she'll have a few extra to help me through today and tomorrow.

124 Isn't the point to saying he shouted for help and getting no response just laying out that he took that additional step before shooting?

Well, it could be, but why?  With Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law, he wasn't even required to flee, let alone call for help.  Once he was on the ground being beaten, it's not even a "Stand Your Ground" case, it's good, old-fashioned, self-defense: and, again, he's not required to request assistance.

I don't think Zimmerman was thinking anything, at that point.  He was quite possibly (probably?) in shock.  I think he said it because he did it; maybe it was also to help assuage his own feelings of guilt- which I'm pretty sure I, at least, would feel even if I killed someone to defend myself.

A couple of people have mentioned that such a tactic is unlikely (at best) to work.  Including some in the media.  The best theory I've actually heard is not that he's trying to influence the vote, but he's trying to go ahead and make it a political issue prior to the campaign really warming up.

128 Obama knows the vote and is trying to get the vote changed. He's betting on Kennedy changing his mind if the vote is already casted something like 5-4.

136 Ok Ed, here ya go. (not a Romney supporter per se but I can't stand Santorum).

The Daily Caller got an advance copy of a new book co-authored by Politico writer Mike Allen. In the book, readers learn that the pro-longed GOP primary was a deliberate plan of former RNC chair Michael Steele to bring on a brokered convention. TheDC's Alex Pappas reports:

Michael Steele irked fellow GOPers while serving as chairman of the Republican National Committee by speaking excitedly about the possibility of a brokered convention. 'You know, weÂ’re going to end up with a brokered convention, a convention thatÂ’s going to mean something!' Steele reportedly told big money donors while chairman, according to the soon-to-be released book 'Inside the Circus'"

When the left can't win a case before a San Fran.-based panel of the loopy 9th Circuit it's just a bad day in leftism land. Separate but related topic: Prop. 209 is one the greatest direct referendums we've ever enacted out here on the Left Coast. Along with Prop. 187 it's a throwback to the halcyon days under Gov. Pete Wilson, before the dreaded "single-issue" brand of alleged conservatism helped to destroy this state. Regarding that poll of Pennsylvania, why pray tell are they still polling Pennsylvania? This contest has been over for quite some time but at this point if you haven't figured out that it's over then you're in the category of EEG flatliner.

They can join the UNC players there.

 

'sup jackwagons.  I've been pondering something that's mentioned in the 9th Circuit decision as well as an issue last week where students in Detroit went on strike demanding an actual education.  Part of the rationale being used by the minority students in the CA challenge was that they were unable to obtain places via merit as they received such a mediocre education in their schools.  The kids in Detroit went on strike because they claimed they were not being taught anything.  What I'm wondering is if there's going to be a rise of attempted claims against the states for gross educational malpractice.  I'm taking no position on whether those suits should be filed or should win, I'm just interested in the process itself.  Given that sovereign immunity exists at a fairly high level in most states, it would be nearly impossible to go after the teachers individually.  That leaves attacking the state itself.  I have only the most passing of acquaintances with educational law (as in I know it exists and there's the sum total of my knowledge), but I would think this would be the next step.  I would also think those suits would be tossed nearly immediately but I can see people starting to make an attempt to put forth a claim.

 

Well, okay, I think the next stop should be actual tarring and feathering of those in the various school districts who seem to think it is somehow just fine and dandy to let kids get through high school while illiterate but since that's not on the table, this may be a possible next step.

Didn't work for me, granted High Cholesterol has been in my family for generations.  Was up over 200 or something for a while (I forget the numbers but they were well over the "High."

Lost about 30lbs, numbers went up. (Also cut back considerably on my drinking as part of the diet.)  Tried more exercise, numbers moved barely.  Doc put me on Crestor and my numbers are now on the "High Side" of normal. (I lost another 10 lbs after that too, still on the diet.)

I'm still young, but I've watched several members of my family bite it due to heart attacks, and the Statins numbers (from my reading of the primary literature) appear to mostly be a problem with high doses (I'm on 10mg.) So I'll risk it.

Looking at the primarly literature I'm wondering if that's going to be the actual direction it goes, try to get people at risk on low doses early rather than higher doses later.

These kids are not maturing in College like they used to and once they get to the NBA many are not ready and never play to their full potential. They become one dimensional players. It's also another reason why no longer dominate international basketball like we used to. And of course they get NO education what so ever.

Army helicopters will receive upgrades over the next two decades, as they always have, but the austere budget environment has forced the Army to try and keep its current fleet in the air for as long as it can. Army aviation leaders have gotten the message that helicopters don't sit atop the service's modernization priority list. Any money the service has in its shrinking defense modernization budget will go to new radios, the Ground Combat Vehicle and the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle.

179 Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said Tuesday that former prime minister Ariel Sharon sent him on a secret mission ten years ago following the publication of the Saudi Peace Initiative to meet with Saudi representatives to discuss it, but they refused to meet him. Ayalon's comments came at a conference at the Foreign Ministry to announce a new ministry initiative to put the issue of Jewish refugees high on the international agenda. 'Saudi Peace Initiative would have economic benefit' Ayalon, who was Sharon's foreign policy advisor at the time, said he was sent to meet his Saudi counterpart Adel Al-Jubeir, who today is the Kingdom's ambassador to Washington. Al-Jubeir refused to meet him, Ayalon said. MEMO TO TOM FRIEDMAN AND THE NY TIMES: FUCK YOU

Actually, he does.

This morning on Fox and Friends, Simmons said that Americans tend to vote on issues and not the party, but sometimes they are wrong. “I have some real issues with the economy and how it’s being done. America should be a business and it should be run by a businessman, that’s my philosophy.”

Simmons said he is zeroing on AmericaÂ’s economy as the big issue in the next election. He revealed to Fox and Friends that his presidential pick for 2012 is Mitt Romney.

On a separate note, heÂ’s introducing a new global franchise called Rock & Brews that is hiring Vets and giving back to America.

So the State passed a new law that eliminated the school tax and raised sales tax another 2 cents on the dollar to finance schools.

Of course out county didn't agree with that so they added a new fee to the property tax that was higher than what we had before.

203 From Gene Simmons Wikipedia page, FWIW. speaking of his support for American troops in Iraq:


"I'm ashamed to be surrounded by people calling themselves liberal who are, in my opinion, spitting on the graves of brave American soldiers who gave their life to fight a war that wasn't theirs...in a country they've never been to... simply to liberate the people therein". In a follow-up, Simmons explained his position and wrote about his love and support for the United States: "I wasn't born here. But I have a love for this country and its people that knows no bounds. I will forever be grateful to America for going into World War II, when it had nothing to gain, in a country that was far away... and rescued my mother from the Nazi German concentration camps.

Yeah, unequal financing has been the proxy under which these types of suits have been filed. The thing is that it is stunningly obvious to everyone with firing synapses that throwing more money at education does not work. Thus, it may be time to go after it under some type of malpractice rubric.

 

I freely admit that this is all theoretical and there are some very significant real world drawbacks, such as where the hell is the money going to come from to a. defend the suits and b. pay if there's some type of award. I'm just trying to think of some way to make the individual administrators and teachers be held accountable in a manner that would get the attention of the educational establishment writ large.

I think there are a lot of people who, for whatever reason, gave the benefit of the doubt to Obama in the last election.  I have to always remind myself that most people aren't political junkies like I am, and don't really pay very much attention.  Some of my family members and co-workers, good people all, took a very naive look at Obama last time around and voted for him.  I think much of it boiled down to "let's give the black guy a chance".  I try not to harbor ill will, as I really believe the people I know who voted for Obama simply made a grave error in judgement.  They aren't evil, just kind of superficial.  I don't know a single person out of that group who are going to vote for him again.  I try not to call them stupid, and say I told you so.  I just smile and say, Yeah, that didn't go very well.  Well, you can correct that this time.

So Darwinism is okay.....but 'Social Darwinism' is bad? ....But then, Social Justice is 'good', as opposed to regular Justice, which is supposed to be blind, or color blind.

240 Did I misspell it?

Anthropomorphism is any attribution of human characteristics (or characteristics assumed to belong only to humans) to animals, non-living things, phenomena, material states, objects or abstract concepts, such as organizations, governments, spirits or deities.

It's used to blame humans for climate change.

Nice set of delusions you've got there. Make them yourself or buy them wholesale?

The idea that the 'GOP started demonizing Latinos' makes it clear you are either a troll or just stupid. Taking a stand on illegal immigration is not demonizing Latinos. Legal residency is not a function of ethnicity. I would be dead set against a flood of unregulated immigration from my own ancestral homeland in northern Europe. The problem set would be little different. Just a different language and a few different unacceptable behaviors than what we get now. The broader issue would be exactly the same.

Jimmah,

I've been text messaging with a friend/fellow golf geek who is one of those wishy-washy types who trends liberal just to fit in with his family, for the most part.  Even though his grandparents (only living family members who aren't in jail) are stout conservatives who fled Europe in the late 30's.  It's the passive acceptance of the narrative that is hard to get around, and frustrates the hell out of me.  I point out exactly why I define myself as conservative (not necessarily Republican), and give examples that support my positions on any topic.  Sometimes I just feel like saying, as I have to other lib acquaintances that 'you don't have the brains or the balls to endorse an idea that other liberals consider unpopular'....

You are full of it. If there was a wave of illegals from Northern Europe, most of you would support amnesty. This goes beyond illegal immigration. The Republican party demonizes Latinos for everything. You are using the illegal issue to beat up on what your side sees as an inferior people.

If the issue was just illegal immigration, why were many Republicans paranoid about Puerto Rico becoming s state? Why all this talk that Rubio is not a natural born citizen? Why the demonization of Susana Martinez, by calling her an anchor baby and saying her parents are illegals? When a German illegal was setting cars on fire in LA, why was there no Republican outrage like there would be if it was a Latino?

The beating sparked outrage in the community but there were very few that stepped up to do anything about it.

Do you know who spent tireless hours putting flyers on the cars of persons parked in the churches of the black community? Do you know who waited for the church-goers to get out of church so that he could hand them flyers in an attempt to organize the black community against this horrible miscarriage of justice? Do you know who helped organize the City Hall meeting on January 8, 2011 at Sanford City Hall??
