Hot Air: There's a New Article Up
— Ace

Well, I'm too engrossed in the comments today so I'm not really finding stuff on my own.

Chris Christie seems to have suggested he'll be attempting to decriminalize pot in New Jersey.

This is from his gubernatorial inaugural address. A cynic would imagine Christie would prefer a policy controversy to suck the oxygen away from the scandal controversy. (Even though many of the claims there seem to be total bullshit, with no evidence for them (except Mayor Zimmer's hand-scrawled notes, which could have been written at any time) and even thought Democrats are admitting their goal is to slime up Christie as they eventually did to Romney, to make him non-viable as a candidate.)

Even by the cynical interpretation, we're at the stage where a politician now proposes decriminalizing pot as a distraction from something politically damaging.)

Is Christie on the level here? I think probably yes, in the sense that this is his actual belief about the right policy.

“We will end the failed war on drugs that believes that incarceration is the cure of every ill caused by drug abuse. We will make drug treatment available to as many of our non-violent offenders as we can and we will partner with our citizens to create a society that understands this simple truth: every life has value and no life is disposable,” Christie said during his inaugural speech this morning.

The governor expressed desire to help those struggling with drug addiction in a bipartisan manner. “And, while government has a role in ensuring the opportunity to accomplish these dreams, we have now learned that we have an even bigger role to play as individual citizens. We have to be willing to play outside the red and blue boxes the media and pundits put us in; we have to be willing to reach out to others who look or speak differently than us; we have to be willing to personally reach out a helping hand to a neighbor suffering from drug addiction, depression or the dignity stripping loss of a job,” said Christie.

Everything is changing so fast. The old rules aren't the new rules. We're in "interesting times," as the Chinese curse goes.

But, you know, the Chinese word for "crisis" is actually made up for the words for "danger" and "opportunity," as Al Gore and other people who wish to appear intelligent always say, erroneously and stupidly. (It's actually composed of the words for "danger" and "critical point." You know, critical, as in "crisis.")

John Stewart Service (state dept fuckhed) actively manipulated arms  meant to be shipped to Chiang and stopped any and all support from the US.

108 Christie is just a tad to the left of JFK. That makes him a solid N/E Republican. All pols lose me when they start changing direction with the political winds. That's not a solid candidate or a solid leader. That's your prototypical 21st century pol shitbag. Tell me what you stand for, be solid. Even if I disagree I can respect a principled stance. I understand I will never agree 100% with anyone. Christie is incapable of that. He is playing the Political games.

137 I think it's a smart play for the GOP to be the Party of small government and let people make decisions like whether they want to smoke pot for themselves, and I say this as someone who doesn't like the pot culture.

We're going to let people smoke cigarettes and drink liquor that will obviously will kill you, but not marijuana?  Why?  because liberal hippies did it in the 60's?

Even people who don't smoke pot are going to not going to like the idea of a political party being moral police. 

I would argue that's the single biggest problem with the GOP right now, secular people view it as the Church Lady Party.  I could see the brand improving with a pro-legalization platform.

156 @WendyDavisTexas goes full retard: 1h ago: My story of struggle and sacrifice is not unique - it is the story of millions of Texas women. Our opponents are scared of that truth. The other side has reached a new low - attacking my family, my education and playing politics with something that is deeply personal. I share my story of being a single mother, of fighting for a chance at a better life not because my story is unique, but because it is not. Mine is the story of single mothers who feel alone in the world, searching for their chance to become something more And you're damn right it's a true story. Our stories, fighting to give our children a better future across Texas, are what drives this campaign every day The only thing Abbott & his allies have proven with these desperate attacks is that they donÂ’t understand these Texas stories of struggle. No false attack can take away my story. And no sleazy political trick will stop me from giving voice to yours.

That might be a hard sell, because there are factions of the left (I'm talking mostly liberals, not the so-called progressives) who have renamed prostitution.  It's now called human trafficking, which  sorta puts a much more  negative spin on it.

I'm not saying the case is made one way or another by the name change,  but since lefties tend to operate in the emotional realm, rather than the rational, there would be a very strong negative reaction to anyone suggesting it should now be legal.

"Wendy Davis Attacks GOP Opponent Saying He “Hasn’t Walked a Day In My Shoes” …That’s Because He’s Crippled, Wendy"

and hasn't this already been kind of shot full of holes?

"The truth is that at age 19, I was a teenage mother living alone with my daughter in a trailer and struggling to keep us afloat on my way to a divorce. And I knew then that I was going to have to work my way up and out of that life if I was going to give my daughter a better life and a better future and that’s what I’ve done. I am proud of where I came from and I am proud of what I’ve been able to achieve through hard work and perseverance. And I guarantee you that anyone who tries to say otherwise hasn’t walked a day in my shoes.”

Posted by: Mallfly at January 21, 2014 02:23 PM (bJm7W)

266 this is post worthy I think. This writer is the Morons Moron. His name is John Milius, his wiki Milius has long claimed to be an outsider in Hollywood. In 2001 he stated: I've always been considered a nut. They kind of tolerate me. It's certainly affected me. I've been blacklisted for a large part of my career because of my politics—as surely as any writer was blacklisted back in the 1950s. It's just that my politics are from the other side, and Hollywood always veers left.[31] Nonetheless, Milius has made a considerable impact as a filmmaker. He wrote a number of iconic film quotations such as "Charlie don't surf" and "I love the smell of napalm in the morning," from Apocalypse Now, and the famous Dirty Harry one-liners delivered by Clint Eastwood, including "Go ahead, make my day" and "Do you feel lucky?". Milius also had a hand in the USS Indianapolis monologue in the film Jaws,[24] however his version was rejected and the whole sequence was written and performed by Robert Shaw. When Spielberg asked him to punch up the screenplay for Saving Private Ryan, Milius suggested the Normandy cemetery bookends where Ryan, now an elderly hero of World War II, in a moment of survivor guilt, asks his wife "Did I live a good life?" After his work on Rough Riders (1997), Milius became an instrumental force in lobbying Congress to award President Theodore Roosevelt the Medal of Honor (posthumously), for acts of conspicuous gallantry while in combat on San Juan Hill.[32] Milius made two films featuring Roosevelt: The Wind and the Lion (where he was played by Brian Keith) and the made-for-TV film Rough Riders (where Tom Berenger took the role). The character of John Milner from the 1973 George Lucas film American Graffiti was inspired by Milius, who was a good friend of Lucas while they were at USC film school. Likewise, the Walter Sobchak character in the 1998 film The Big Lebowski, made by his friends the Coen Brothers, was partly based on Milius.[33] Aleksandar Hemon's novella "Blind Jozef Pronek and Dead Souls" features an episode with Milius, who is described as "sitting at a desk sucking on a cigar as long as a walking stick." Milius was also instrumental during the startup of the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) organization: it was his idea to use the octagon-shaped cage, and his association with UFC helped provide interest and investors to the startup UFC.[34] He is Walter Sobchek. I am a total fan girl now

Funny correction from the LA Times:

"A previous version of this post said the 85 richest people owned nearly half of global wealth and the same amount as the bottom half of the population. The 85 richest people are a small part of the wealthiest 1%, which owns 46% of the world's wealth. The 85 richest people own about 0.7% of the world's wealth, which is the same as the bottom half of the population."--Los Angeles Times website, Jan. 20

I suspect that the official government crime figures are coming to be as systematically gamed as are the official government economic figures.

Certainly here in San Francisco for the longest time, the basic policy at SFPD has been to do anything they possibly can to avoid taking a report. Tourist town, don't you know. Bad for business.

And possible murders that could be construed as suicides are automatically considered suicides, because SFPD really don't want to call more attention to the fact that if you're murdered in San Francisco, the odds that your killer will ever be caught and convicted are really only about 50%.  One of the worst homicide clearance rates in the country.

Hence a preference for "suicides" by SF police officialdom, as they don't further tilt that already crummy figure.

313 The 85 richest people own about 0.7% of the world's wealth, which is the same as the bottom half of the population. And? The implication is that they've stolen this amount from the bottom half. The truth is, they've amassed it. They've built that fortune. And, in doing so, guaranteed, they've enriched a pyramid of people who have provided them goods and services in doing it. The numbers are used to produce envy, to invoke hatred or disdain. But confiscating it for the mob will do nothing to create wealth, it will get eaten and evaporate. What do you do next month, when all that wealth is gone? They do the same thing when they point to some rich person's yacht, but my reaction is always 'They BOUGHT that yacht. Money went from their hand to the yacht builders, yacht salesmen, captains, crews, marina staff, support services, and tax collectors. Hate them for having something? Why? That item is the thing that moves the economy around.

Locked up for possession?

I don't know how it works where you are, but here in Commiefornia, there is a huge fuss every year at budget time about the cost of state prison.

And every year, without fail, the stoner brigade are claiming that the prisons are chock full of "nonviolent marijuana offenders" locked up for nothing more than being caught with a sandwich bag of reefer. They assert that huge budget savings will come about from outright legalization of weed.

Well, the state publishes a detailed prison census, which shows who is in stir here and for what offenses, and so I looked that up. This claim of the prisons being full of nonviolent potheads? A complete sack of bullshit from start to finish.

What people ARE in for is: Rape. Murder. Burglary. Assault. Grand theft. And, drug dealing, but the absolutely overwhelming percentage of those are non-cannabis convictions.

Money went from their hand to the yacht builders, yacht salesmen, captains, crews, marina staff, support services, and tax collectors. Hate them for having something? Why? That item is the thing that moves the economy around.'"

Old-time luminary of the Gimmedatic Party, Sen. George Mitchell of Maine (predecessor of Olympia Snowe-job) fought for years to get a federal luxury tax placed on yachts. To fund "important social services" and such things.

Finally he got his way.

Yacht sales fell through the floor.

And within months, Mitchell was totally panicked and trying desperately to get the tax rescinded. Because it turned out that Maine, as a coastal state, had a metric fuckton of ordinary working-class citizens who had actually been making a good living out of building and maintaining and crewing yachts. And Mitchell had boneheadedly ruined all of their livelihoods, and they were pissed. This is a big part of why a (notional) Republican later had his Senate seat.

As I keep saying: GIVE LIBERALS A BIG CHUNK OF WHAT THEY CLAIM TO WANT. Just with time limits to keep the damage under control.

Example: Obama claims to want a $15 minimum wage. Sure. Pass that fucker right now. Hey, make it $20. But keyed to sunset as Obama leaves office. Let the Choom Clown shoulder the responsibility as millions of more jobs evaporate on his watch.

A report from Snowmageddon. About a foot of global warming so far and it is coming down harder than it has all day. The wind has kicked up and now the temps are falling. Blowing snow is making roads all but impassable. I went out driving anyway. The weathermen underestimated this one IMHO. Central MD is getting whacked.

It's been snowing steady here in the Boston area for the last 2.5 hours.

373 After reading a little about it, I decided to break down and rent Captain Phillips. I have been clued that the movie portrays the pirates as well as the captain in a sympathetic light (hey, that's what you get with Greengrass), but that was such an interesting story I could not resist. If nothing else, Hanks's accent should be entertaining.

389 The call for freedom will go from gay marriage and pot to polygamy and harder drugs, to child sex and all manner of other indulgence...

...and all the while the state will take more and more power and take away freedoms of speech and religion and guns and property and 4th amendment rights.

They'll give you freedoms that indulge your vices and lower standards while the real goal is to begin to empower the state while the people dumb themselves down.

Jeezooey, I'm getting all depressed up in here.  There sure seems to be a hard, ugly, inescapable truth hanging in the air like stale b.o. 

And to top it off, I slaved away making homemade yeast biscuits tonight, dough stuck to my clothes, the sink, countertop, everywhere.  Made an absolute mess.  Cut those suckers out, put them on the tray to rise...beauty ensued.  Until I realized I completely forgot the sugar and salt.  They weren't even edible and I got a sad.

Speaking of Pirates...

 

That's the first thought I had, reading of Sven's plan to live on his commuter-boat for long periods of time.

What about Pirates?

 

Piracy is already a growing problem on the high seas.

If everything breaks down...Piracy will probably flourish like we've never seen before.

I heard him talking to Governor Perry on my drive home today and that's pretty much what he was saying then.  That its not going to immediate and it might take some time but he will once all their ducks are in a row.

Obama now thinks he's a medical expert on marijuana.  Oh well, I guess it's a step down from God.  The marijuana of today is not the marijuana of his college days. Better to let people think you are a fool than to open your month and remove all doubt.
