Theodore Roosevelt's Citizenship in a Republic Speech
He gave this speech in 1910 and it's best known for his 'Man in the Arena' passage:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
But there's a whole bunch of goodness in the rest of the speech as well including this:
The very last thing an intelligent and self-respecting member of a democratic community should do is to reward any public man because that public man says that he will get the private citizen something to which this private citizen is not entitled, or will gratify some emotion or animosity which this private citizen ought not to possess. Let me illustrate this by one anecdote from my own experience. A number of years ago I was engaged in cattle-ranching on the great plains of the western Unite States. There were no fences. The cattle wandered free, the ownership of each one was determined by the brand; the calves were branded with the brand of the cows they followed. If on a round-up and animal was passed by, the following year it would appear as an unbranded yearling, and was then called a maverick. By the custom of the country these mavericks were branded with the brand of the man on whose range they were found. One day I was riding the range with a newly hired cowboy, and we came upon a maverick. We roped and threw it; then we built a fire, took out a cinch-ring, heated it in the fire; and then the cowboy started to put on the brand. I said to him, "It So-and-so's brand," naming the man on whose range we happened to be. He answered: "That's all right, boss; I know my business." In another moment I said to him: "Hold on, you are putting on my brand!" To which he answered: "That's all right; I always put on the boss's brand." I answered: "Oh, very well. Now you go straight back to the ranch and get whatever is owing to you; I don't need you any longer." He jumped up and said: "Why, what's the matter? I was putting on your brand." And I answered: "Yes, my friend, and if you will steal for me then you will steal from me."
He gave the speech to a French audience so the first few paragraphs are a review of American history but after that he really gets rolling.
Sorry for the Trayvonapalooza below but there's been so much stupid in such a short time:
The Meme That Won't Die: 'Zimmerman Followed Trayvon Martin'
If you think Zimmerman pursued Trayvon on foot you simply don't know the facts of the case. Sadly even the WSJ gets this wrong.
My Brother Wears A Hoodie Every Day, So I Am Afraid
How Racist Can 'the System' Be When It's Run by Blacks Themselves
The left wants to blame these outcomes on racial animus and "the system," but blacks have long been part of running that system. Black crime and incarceration rates spiked in the 1970s and '80s in cities such as Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and Philadelphia, under black mayors and black police chiefs. Some of the most violent cities in the U.S. today are run by blacks.
Trayvon's Father Was a Member of the Crips and He Was Buddy Buddy with the Sanford Police
I suppose both could be true at the same time but I'm skeptical.
The Last Race Riots Were Over 20 Years Ago
So why is the media so convinced that they're always on the cusp of breaking out?
The EU Arbitrarily Redefines Israel's Borders
The EU directive, sent out on June 30 and set to take effect on Friday, extends to "all funding, cooperation, and the granting of scholarships, research grants and prizes" to Israeli entities in East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and the West Bank.
It also requires that any contracts between EU member countries and Israel henceforth include a clause stating that East Jerusalem and the West Bank are not part of the state of Israel.
Thought question - If the West Bank doesn't belong to Israel, then who would be the legal owner? Hint: Look towards the EU.
Scenery Over Choreography: Why This Summer's Action Films Have Kinda Sucked
It's more than "Check yr brain at the door, artfag!".
Movies have been breaking the first rule of the human interest story, so brilliantly outlined in Billy Wilder's Ace in the Hole (1951) : That people care more about one guy trapped in a mine than a hundred, more about 50 rattlesnakes on the loose than 1000 being slaughtered. All of this summer's action movies seem to be based on the faulty idea that people care more when the scale is bigger, which we've known isn't true for at least 60 years. Maybe the excitement of what could be done with CGI made us forget.
Wait - Jack Handey Is a Real Guy?
Yep.
Jack Handey is a solidly built man of 64 with a swoop of graying hair; when he smiles, his teeth are blindingly white. We were sitting around the island in Handey's Santa Fe kitchen as his wife, Marta, made huevos rancheros for breakfast. Jack and Marta have been together for 36 years. I asked if he helped out around the kitchen, and he said, "I can cook Cheerios."
"For a lot of us, he was our favorite writer, and the one we were most in awe of," said James Downey, who wrote for "S.N.L." "When I was head writer there, my policy was just to let him do his thing and to make sure that nothing got in the way of him creating."
"He was the purest writer," Franken said. "It was pure humor, it wasn't topical at all. It was Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer."
Why Are Some People Mosquito Magnets?
"Both your metabolism and your unique body chemistry-which is as distinctive as a fingerprint-play an important role in determining whether or not you're a mosquito magnet," says University of Florida entomology professor Dr. Phil Koehler. "Also, there's evidence that your degree of attractiveness to mosquitoes can change over time."
Luckily for me I apparently reek to mosquitos so I can walk through a cloud of them unscathed.
Woman Rebuts Boyfriend's Argument With Fire
Mattel's He-Man's Stinkor figure still stinks even 30 years later. So you definitely got your money's worth.
If you pick up a vintage Strawberry Shortcake today, she'll just smell like a doll. Stinkor? Kids today are still marveling at his stench. He'll smell for decades yet.

The story about the woman who set fire to the building after an argument reminds me of that movie "Waiting to Exhale".
Which also reminds me of what I did with the Ex's golf clubs. He left me and the forgot to get his golf clubs in his haste to run off and join the circus.
He also had a fondness for small kitchen appliances. The man had three juicers.
I donated all his stuff to a garage sale to benefit breast cancer research.
A few years later, he finally remembered his clubs, and had my daughter ask if I still had them. I told her to tell her father about the garage sale, but I still had our wedding photo album if he wanted it.
That was fun.

At the risk of asking a personal question... Where did your hair go?
Down the drain in the shower mostly; combs, pillows, into huge piles on the carpet behind my desk at work. Oh, look, there goes a hank right now. Just started falling out in 2011. Battery of blood tests...scalp biopsy...nothing wrong but alopecia.
I can't even joke about making Democrat Senatrices look like Playboy bunnies anymore...they have more hair than me.
It's all good though, cause as a general rule they have a higher tolerance for pain as well.
By the time we realize it hurts, it's too far gone to fix.

My technique was: bait hook, throw in water, read book for about 15 minutes, reel in hook, remove fish from hook if present, repeat as necessary. It had to work for me sometime.

More of a "wilding" but yeah. The violent mob destroying property in a mall was dismissed as "you white people are racist", then beating white people after the July 3 fireworks got excused by the media and police as "youthful hijinks", so a bigger mob beat more white people, including cops, at the State Fair a month later.

I've posted this before but your post reminded me of a vet that comes to the VA hospital quite often. He has two prosthetic legs and one prosthetic arm courtesy of an IED in Iraq. He greets everyone he sees with a big smile on his face as warm as the sun. He is happy to be home and alive and his attitude is infectious.
I try to remember him whenever I am bitching about some petty bullshit that is absolutely meaningless in the whole scheme of things.

OTOH, he's never had to decrypt an undocumented makefile someone else wrote before leaving the company, so, you know. Heh.

For Pete's sake. Even one of the jurors (B-37) gave an interview in which she opined that Zimmerman "did not show good judgment and should have stayed in his car when asked to do so by a police dispatcher rather than following Trayvon."
It should be utterly impossible for any human being with a functioning brain and an understanding of the English language to have read the 9-1-1 transcript and still believe that Zimmerman was asked by the dispatcher to stay in his car.
That same damn juror was right there in court when the dispatcher who had been on the phone with Zimmerman gave sworn testimony from the stand that dispatchers DO NOT EVER tell citizens what to do or what not to do, because of the potential liability of the practice.

Saw her new look when she went on Pier's show. Just goes to show you that you can slap on all of the make up you want, have your hair waved to the max but the stupid will always shine through. A full scholarship? I think that she'll still be working on getting a HS diploma well into her 20's.

Just got through watching Greta, and she made a devasting point about Holder's criticism of Stand Your Ground laws. Apparently, the AG of the US is not aware that stand your ground has been a part of *federal case law* for over 100 years.
That is, if a homicide comes under a federal case (the original case involved something on an Indian reservation, IIIRC), and self-defense is asserted as a defense, there is no duty to retreat imposed on a person on his "own premises". That goes back to 1895, and has been affirmed a couple of times since.
So there you go, idiot Holder doesn't even know federal law.

"...in the long run, success or failure will be conditioned upon the way in which the average man, the average women, does his or her duty, first in the ordinary, every-day affairs of life, and next in those great occasional cries which call for heroic virtues. The average citizen must be a good citizen if our republics are to succeed. The stream will not permanently rise higher than the main source; and the main source of national power and national greatness is found in the average citizenship of the nation. Therefore it behooves us to do our best to see that the standard of the average citizen is kept high; and the average cannot be kept high unless the standard of the leaders is very much higher."
We seem to have a big problem today. Too many are not "good citizens". Maybe that is just a false impression from the media, but I fear it is not false.

From what I have seen of HBCUs, the Michelin Tire Girl will fit right in.
There was just a scandal at one of them reported a few days ago, wherein faculty defectors revealed that the university administration had been systematically going in and doctoring up the grades of AfAm students, and threatening faculty to keep silent about these adjustments.
I don't see why this procedure should be invidious at the college level, given that the illiterate Michelin Tire Girl couldn't possibly have gotten through high school without the same artificial methods being applied.
Geez, let's just give the entire socially promoted cohort their doctorates as soon as they're popped out of the birth canal. Save time.

Instead of stopping once he realized that he hit the car he continued from the front bumper all the way down the length of the car to the rear quarter panel. Just got the estimate to fix their car today. $5500 dollars. Makes me wish he was 3 again.

Today's "Progressives" are deluded/depraved souls who are pretty much through-and-through, garden-variety Marxists (of the Leninist variety, mostly, but with a heaping helping of Maoists and leavened by a bunch of purist Marxists who are as weird on the left as True Believer Libertarians are on the Right).
They have pretty much completely detached from reality, and now diligently seek to impose "How I Think It Should Work" upon the universe in general, and upon their fellow human beings in particular.
This rarely ends well--for anybody concerned.

Because they're liberals. And they don't want to put that anger to bed. Not a bit. They want to fan the flames and use it for their own purposes. Cynically and deliberately.
I had a kid (a genuine small kid, not a full grown Trayvon Martin looming-threateningly "kid") come to the door the other day pitching subscriptions to our local librag to help him earn college money.
Stage One for me was when I would have taken the subscription even if I didn't care for it, just to help the kid get a step up the ladder. I was in his shoes once.
Stage Two came a few years ago. That was the polite demurral.
Now we are to Stage Three, which was my saying brusquely while pointing, "No. My lawn. Get off it."
Beyond being polite now.

I also just remembered that he was also the Commissioner for the Lincoln Memorial (his name is inscribed on the memorial). He actually knew Lincoln - who helped him win one of his first court cases when he was a young Lawyer studying under a judge in Chicago. Lincoln was observing - and stood up in the back of the court room and asked the judge if he could help my ggg make his excellent point. The judge allowed this and my ggg won. This is a true documented event.

Dad was a cop who, for a while at least, drove a pickup truck (his beat at the time was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Mile_Canyon ). One day he comes home with the rear panel of his truck peeled back from the tire to the bumper, just as neatly as if it had been folded by an origami superhero.
They'd set up a road block using his vehicle and another. The perp, seeing the road block, gunned it and aimed between the vehicles, because "it always works on Dukes of Hazzard!"
Doesn't work so hot in real life.

" in the eighties when i was in high school, Social Security was in crisis and was "saved" by some legislation. 60% of young people polled at the time stated belief that the system would not be around for their retirement. in 2010 the same poll found 50% of kids had that attitude. so we've lost ground on the subject. people like to believe in mana and free cookies forever. but it's a Ponzi, and the dearth of young earners compared to the number of boomer beneficiaries is going to doom it (and much else)."

Excellent ONT Maet; I'm still reading the links.
As to mosquitoes, there's the Northern kind and the Southern kind. The northerners have a short period of time to do their business, and they work hard at it. Trying to work on my car at dusk, outside, in Chicago, was a most humbling experience as I had to ignobly retreat. They won. I carried deet in my golf bag for early morning or late afternoon rounds.
Southern skeeters are more laid back. That said, the ex-wife and I have many times in the past been out around dusk; inevitably it was her getting bitten at a 10:1 rate or higher. Here's where I have to question the whole 'attracted to beer drinkers' thing -- that's me, not her. Same blood type too, so that's out.
It must have something to do with that scent thing about emitting a smell of your blood type. That at least makes sense to me, and explains my experiences.

I'm not even of that crowd and we didn't have AC until I was in Junior High or High School. I remember what I did a lot. Outside in the shade, or going to the town swimming pool almost every day.

First chest hair, or first grey chest hair? I actually didn't have all that much chest hair for almost a decade after I graduated college.....but had barbers telling me that my hairline was receding almost immediately afterward. I'm thinking, maybe, that it was migrating.

Night Cthulhu
Posted by: lou's a girl at July 17, 2013 02:34 AM (vgd4f)
Y'know, I've been "Cthulhu" on various computer systems since about 1980. I was taking some programming classes at the university, and classmates would submit jobs and get no output, and I'd joke that Cthulhu took their output to another dimension. The next course, you actually chose your userID, so I chose "Cthulhu". By the time I graduated, in 1983, I was "cthulhu" full time. I was "cthulhu" on Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link; I've been "cthulhu" on Tepid Whiff; I'm "cthulhu" just about everywhere (though I was briefly "cthulhu77" on aol until I ##### my #####.). I've sometimes had to be "kthulhut" when "cthulhu" was taken, or some other variation.
But I still get a chuckle out of silly things like LaG's "Night Cthulhu" or when Hearts says, "Cthulhu shot the moon!" It just appeals to the cosmic monstrosity in me, I guess.

He said it was “hard to arrest” some of the people suspected of participating in the vandalism because they blended into large groups of people.

I had an opportunity to chat briefly with a fellow who emigrated from South Africa at a time when the apartheid riots were happening. The US media usually reported that South African police often bludgeoned 'innocent bystanders' when attempting to end the riots. So I ask this fellow about those 'innocent bystanders', and he said, when a riot starts innocent people leave the area so there are no innocent bystanders. If you are innocent, you leave the area, otherwise, you are a participant. In the case above in Oakland, giving aid and cover to the vandals and hindering the police in their attempt to apprehend the law breakers.

down. I'll go over to the person's house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o'-lantern with a knife in the side of its head with a note that says "You." After that, I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done."
