Happy Monday.

Donald Trump was on ABC's "This Week" yesterday, where he flirted with birtherism again, suggesting that maybe President Obama's birth certificate was fake and, oh, that Sen. Cruz is ineligible for the presidency because he was born in Canada. Trump was in Iowa over the weekend at the invitation of the Family Leadership Summit, along with Cruz and Rick Santorum. Trump gave the keynote.

The Obama Administration is ordering prosecutors to omit listing quantities of illegal substances in indictments for drug cases so as to avoid mandatory minimum sentencing laws.

2 Good Morning Morons.  Today is Monday, August 12, 2013.  On this day in 1851 Isaac Singer patented the sewing machine.  My great grandmother had one very similar to the one he patented except that it was mounted on a wooden cabinet with a folding sideboard.  It was operated by a foot treadle at the base.

13 Trump is such a maddening person. Here is someone whose celebrity attracts great attention. And instead of using that to ask questions like "where did the president disappear to for 8 hours when Benghazi was under attack" he continues to ask "was Obama really born in the USA?" Un-fucking real. He needs to go away. Just go away.

Morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes.  Hope you all had a great weekend.  Thanks for the morning briefing, Gabe and Vic.

 

 

Turner Classic Movies has a wonderful 3-volume DVD set out called Forbidden Hollywood, a collection of pre-Code movies including Night Nurse, Three On A Match and one of my faves, Barbara StanwyckÂ’s gleefully immoral Baby Face.  Once the Production Code (also known as the Hays Code) came in, writers and directors had to be more circumspect in what they showed, in order not to have their films chopped to pieces by various state censorship boards. 

 

 

After the “sexual revolution” of the 1960s, where every bare ass and every “fuck” found a home in movies, many of the older directors and actors insisted that the Code made for better movies – suggestion being more satisfying than display.  But while the Code was in use, their attitudes were a little different. 

 

 

For example, in Bette DavisÂ’ 1949 film Beyond the Forest, the script called for her to visit an abortion clinic to get rid of her unwanted baby.  But the censors insisted that the clinic sign in the scene be replaced with a sign reading PSYCHIATRIST.  Both Davis and director King Vidor were disgusted by the change.  “I donÂ’t think that fooled anybody,” said Vidor.  “It was still obvious that she was trying to get rid of her baby.”

 

 

Then there was the experience of Rex Harrison and Lilli Palmer, performing in the film adaptation of their stage hit The Four Poster.  Like Rob and Laura Petrie, the stars were forbidden to appear in a double bed together, and if one was in bed, the other had to have one foot on the floor.  Harrison and Palmer put up with that, but the censors cut one exchange that had always gone over big with live audiences: after Palmer (on her wedding night) is in bed watching new husband Harrison take off his slippers, she says nervously, “IÂ’ve never seen a man. . .uh, completely. . .”  “Well,” Harrison replies calmly, “you havenÂ’t missed much.” 

 

 

The two stars protested to Motion Picture Code chief Eric Johnston.  “ThereÂ’s nothing immoral about that!” they cried.  “YouÂ’re right,” Johnston agreed.  “On moral grounds, we wouldnÂ’t have touched it.”

 

 

“Then why on earth was it cut?” Harrison asked.

 

 

“We had to cut it on religious grounds,” answered the censor.  “Because man is made in the LordÂ’s image, you understand?”

 

 

And thatÂ’s it for today.  Hope you all have a wonderful day.

1. Why are his children home-schooled instead of in a Catholic school?
2. Why did he skip mass several times during the primary to speak at Baptist churches?
3. Where did he get the money for that huge house he lives in?
4. How much time has he spent with Bella since the primaries ended?

If you are going to go around being a professional Catholic candidate,  I am going to ask these questions.

But they have to propose the amendments at the convention.  The legislature has to ratify. That IS an Art V convention.   However, it depends on the Red States sending "Red" delegates which I believe they would.  I think it would work because there are more Red States than Blue and each State only gets one vote.



The problem will come later when it takes 3/4 of the State to ratify any changes.

I don't know if the major leagues are dying.  I don't think it is going to be the national sport ever again.  It does seem to be turning in the white guy sport.  Plus they need to shorten the season so that the playoffs start in August with the World Series starting/ending the first week of October.

103 Wicked shitstorm yesterday at AT over the Clarice Feldman's condemnation of Diana West's book American Betrayal after admitting that she hadn't even read it.

I was really surprised at her attempt to invoke Credentialism on behalf of Radosh and Horowitz, who basically reverted to Alinsky smears against West.

The comments were well worth the read unlike the piece by the normally reasonable Feldman.

Rethinking my opinion of her and the other "recovered" Leftys mentioned above.

The stir West's book has caused seems more a case of flak over target area than any real point by point refutation of a shoddy book.

The book had been a 5 part preview last week in Breitbart.

108 The only way to help the middle class is for massive tax breaks and reducing the size, scope and reach of the federal government. The middle class pays an average of 25% of their income to the federal government alone. If you happen to live in the garden state you pay an additional 7% to the state in income taxes. You pay some the highest property taxes in the country which averages out to $7,800 dollars a year. Throw on top of that a 7% sales tax, tolls and fees for every god damned thing and between the fed and the state 50% of your income goes up in a puff of smoke to our betters. Its time for a flat tax now!

The idea behind an Article V convention is that amendments are immediately ratified by the States without them having to go through Congressional/Presidential approval.  It's not rewriting the entire Constitution, but rather a means to amend the Constitution without going through the entity charged with abiding by it.

 

I have my own doubts on the idea - for instance, I don't think the problem is our Constitution but the people we send to Washington.  If we have to idiot-proof the Constitution from our own elected people then we're too far gone for a raft of amendments to make much difference anyway.

Posted by: mindful webworker, citizen, autodidact at August 12, 2013 07:57 AM (X66C/) If you somehow amend the Constitution to repeal the 17th Amendment, then it is repealed. That said, you have to have ethical men and women who will abide by the outcome. If, like prop 8, it somehow winds up at the SCOTUS and someone like Roberts overturns it, then you will have a violent revolution. I still say, Levin's purpose aside from actually succeeding in this process is to at least TALK about the process and more importantly WHY we have arrived at this point in the first place.

Posted by: real joe at August 12, 2013 08:02 AM (5wsCu) It presupposes elected officials willing to abide by its rules and constraints. This is why the Article V process was put in by George Mason (I think), as a last firewall to go over the head of the Congress to use the Constitution to save the Constitution. You are right that you have to have people who will abide by the laws. If they are lawless AFTER we go through this long and winding road, then let there be blood. BUt we have to go the extra mile and at least try.

Being well into my 6th decade, I was not at all shocked by West's assertians or suggestions.

One of which I believe was that not only secrets were passed, but also processed uranium.

However, the book can stand or fall on it's own merits.

169 Miss Marple, the materials if they ever did ship were not needed by the Soviets.  They reversed engineered the B-29 from three that landed and made the Tu-4.  Britain honored a promise and shipped a Nene engine to the USSR, it was also reverse engineered and installed in the MiG-15. 

To actually ship nuclear materials and equipment, after the USSR vetoed at Dunbar Oaks the joint US/UK proposal of turning all nuclear technology to UN control, it would seem too grave a risk at exposing their spy network.

Of course, since I have not read her reports except for excerpts, I could be barking up a tree.  Though with the Verona stuff being out in the public for years this would have been broken sooner.

The take I had from the excerpts (have only read THEM so far), was that she raised questions based on documented revelations of infiltration of FDR's crew.

Some of Breitbart's headlines may have been interpreted as statements by West.

But again, what really got my attention was the reaction, tactics and people involved in the attempted take down, which arguably would be unnecessary if the book was pure fantasy.

She also draws parallels to the tactics used by the MB today.

177 #150  No,  that isn't what I meant.  I am all for home schooling.  I do not think teachers are the only qualified teachers;  far from it.

Most people home school to give their kids a chance at a better education than the public schools,  and in many cases to also include moral and religious teaching.  Catholic parents in our parish sometimes home school because they cannot afford the school fees.

The Santorums are apparently wealthy,  since they live in that huge house in Fairfax.  There is no shortage of Catholic schools in the area.  Karen Santorum is not a teacher who would be thinking "I am trained to do this". SO I do not understand why they do not send their kids to Catholic schools.

This is a legitimate question.  Are they really cash-strapped and that is why she does it?   Does Santorum insist she home schools the children so as to build up cred with the home school voters?

This is not a criticism of home schoolers.  It is the flat-out statement that there is something odd in the whole family dynamic.

179 Guy who moves pianos.  Exactly right on the US Navy.

BuShips designed the Essex class before WWII for mass-production.  But none would reach the fleet before 1943.  Hence they cranked out CV-8 USS Hornet as a modified Yorktown class carrier to bridge the gap.  USS Hornet, commissioned November 1941, was when the US Navy actively violated the tonnage limitations of the London and Washington treaties.

As for "why" they'd home school their kids, rather than send them to Catholic Schools as "good Catholics do"? Because they don't NEED Catholic voter support. That's all they have. Rick wants to use his kids as propaganda pawns to attract a larger voter base on the platform of "home schooling". It isn't as if homeschooling isn't a most worthy platform, because it most certainly is. And Santorum is the opportunistic player who'd sell his own mother would that win him the presidency.

187 @Miss Marple, I can't speak for the Santorums but as a Catholic who home schools I can say that while our choice to keep our kids hone versus putting them in the parish school was initially based on money, I have since found that the education I am providing a home is, frankly, a much better one than my eldest (who was in Catholic school for one year) received at the parish school. Liberalism has infected even the Catholic schools. And it is especially so in the area of religion. Most Catholic schools are still pretty decent in the academics, although that can vary between parishes. But unless you're going to a parish school that is hard-core ultra-traditionalist the religious I structure your child is going to get there is likely to be lacking. It was certainly not what I was expecting my son to receive and I'm much happier with what he's learning in our home program.

189 "Because I don't think I've ever been in a church that would deny communion to a Catholic. " Speaking from personal experience, the Church of Christ does not allow communion for anyone who is not an active member of the same denomination. Also, the Southern Baptist church I attended refused communion to non-members of their specific building and my mother's former Presbyterian congregation announced before every communion that, out of respect for their beliefs, only confessing Presbyterians should receive. In the Protestant churches I've been to, reception to members only is something done out of a respect for their respective beliefs. Reception of communion is, in addition to the Last Supper significance, an outward sign that you assent to whatever the congregation or denomination believes. Since I am Catholic, and thus do not assent to non- Catholic beliefs, I would abstain from communion in non-Catholic services I have visited out of respect for that group even if communion outside a Catholic or Orthodox Church were not forbidden.

Precedence: all the many baby boys names "Jesus" -- she'd change their names, too, if she could. Not smart to say what she did out loud from her bench. LOL, the parents went to court themselves, asking the judge to side with one or the other re: surname. That tells volumes, unwed most likely, and sucking the taxpayer tit via judicial system, trusting big bro. And when big sis changes the kid's first name, hullabaloo. WHY SHOULD TAX PAYERS fund this legal contest? Regardless of the judge's decision, or the next court's decision, parents or even the child (of age) can process paperwork altering the legal name. Don't need to waste US taxpayer funds, just "Because I Could" lamebrain parents /who watch too much "idiot box" tv.

193 In my experience, the quality of Catholic school education can be uneven although probably better than public schools in many places.

Many of the expensive private Catholic schools are very progressive and heavily into social justice (Merion Mercy Academy - Educating Young Women to Live Mercy and Seek Justice - bleh). As to the local parish schools & high schools, I guess it depends on the diocese and the neighborhood but I would never question any parents that would choose home-schooling over local Catholic schools.

Without which it is just a piece of paper and not a valid legal document. Obama cannot even use his "birth certificate" to get a U.S. passport. The state department requires a certified birth certificate. Here is there standard: *A certified birth certificate has a registrar's raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal, registrar's signature, and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar's office, which must be within 1 year of your birth.

195 189. "is something done out of a respect for their respective beliefs. Reception of communion is, in addition to the Last Supper significance, an outward sign that you assent to whatever the congregation or denomination believes. " Rather, communion is between the person and the Lord/God. All else is politics. Yes, politics in religion. Nothing new there. After all, the Priests and Pharisees plotted and insisted on Jesus' assassination, unwittingly playing out what was determined originally between Jesus and God, His Father in Heaven, the purpose of life as sacrifice through Love. And those who would place themselves as more righteous than the next person have the Lord's rebuke on their conscience, wittingly or not. If indeed a Christian prays for his enemy, why ever would said Christian deny a fellow human seeking God communion through unity in the Holy Spirit? You can't hold out on "as we forgive those who trespass against us" in God's Spirit.
