Overnight Open Thread (5-1-2014)

Michael Barone on All the Things Wrong with Thomas Piketty's Inequality Thesis

He starts with these.

But is his picture of current trends complete? The Manhattan Institute's Scott Winship points out that relying, as Piketty does, on tax returns for the U.S. statistics means omitting income from Social Security, food stamps, public housing, Medicare and Medicaid.
Tax returns count roommates and unmarried partners as separate units when they are part of a larger household.

They don't include employer-paid health insurance -- an increasing share of employee compensation in recent decades.

Including these factors, Winship notes, means that incomes below the top 10 percent have not stagnated but have risen significantly since the 1970s. Increasing inequality is compatible with increases in ordinary people's incomes.
Economist Tyler Cowen takes issue with another of Piketty's assumptions, that the rich can earn 4 to 5 percent on their wealth "automatically, with the mere passage of time, rather than as the result of strategic risk taking."

And here's why the 'moderate' MSM/Left's sudden Piketty-driven obsession with inequality may not amount to much politically:

Respondents were not particularly worried about income inequality, which President Obama identified in December as the "defining challenge of our time." Just five percent said that inequality was a major problem needing attention. And nearly all - 93 percent - of those who listed inequality as a problem said they were not at all or only slightly confident that the government could make real progress in addressing inequality in 2014.

Rich Owens: Oklahoma's Official Executioner

From a fascinating 1948 newspaper article on Rich Owens who executed condemned men for over three decades while serving as a guard at Oklahoma's McAlester State Penitentiary. In his life he killed 75 men: 65 by electrocution, one by the gallows, two with a knife, six with a gun and one with a shovel, not counting 'peckerwoods'.

And he took his job very seriously - studying techniques and learning from the failures of others as well as running execution rehearsals beforehand - in order to guarantee a smooth quick death with a minimum of pain, mess, or fuss.

Which leads to his story of how he once executed a friend of his who had raped and killed a girl while drunk. He spent the evening praying with the man in his cell and when the time came he walked him to the electric chair, prepped him, and then pulled the switch himself. Afterwards he gave his executioner's fee ($100) to the man's wife.

Given the in-artful demise of Clayton Lockett on Thursday perhaps it's time for Oklahoma to bring back a professional like Owens.

Retro-Ace: Enough with the Gay Shit

However, if full and unblemished record of lifelong heterosexuality is now, according to lefties, some sort of requirement for reliability, well, it seems Scott Beauchamp's got a whole new credibility problem.
I'm so sick of the fucking left. If someone says something they don't like, they just bleat over and over "FAG! FAG! FAG! FAG!"
Well, fuck self-restraint. If that's the game we're playing, then game on.

Democrat Clinton Appointee Strikes Down Wisconsin Voter ID Law

I have read the opinion (.pdf), and, shockingly, it is nonsense. In a nutshell, the judge finds that 1) there ain't no such thing as voter fraud, and 2) obtaining a photo ID is second in difficulty only to scaling Mount Everest.

NJ "Smart" Gun Seller Gets the Wrong Kind of Online Attention

"[Armatrix employee] Belinda Padilla does not pick up unknown calls anymore, not since someone posted her cellphone number on an online forum for gun enthusiasts. Then someone snapped pictures of the address where she has a P.O. box and put those online, too. In a crude, cartoonish scrawl, this person drew an arrow to the blurred image of a woman passing through the photo frame. 'Belinda?" the person wrote. "Is that you?" ... "I have no qualms with the idea of personally and professionally leveling the life of someone who has attempted to profit from disarming me and my fellow Americans," one commenter wrote."

So, so much ignorance in the comments. The larger context is that just by selling a single 'smart' .22 gun in the US Armatrix will effectively eliminate the ability of people in several states to buy any existing guns. Yes they have the right (and incentive) to develop smart guns but thanks to dumbass laws their exercising of this right will eliminate the rights of others to buy a gun of their choice.

Report: 70% of Shootings in Chicago Happen Within a Single Isolated Group

Papachristos constructs a social network-not a virtual one in the Facebook sense, but a real one of social connections between people-by looking at arrestees who have been arrested together. That turns out to be a lot of people in raw numbers, almost 170,000 people with a "co-offending tie" to one another, with an average age of 25.7 years, 78.6 percent male and 69.5 percent black. It's also a large percentage of all the individuals arrested: 40 percent of all the individuals arrested during that period.
Within the entire group, the largest component of that whole co-offender group has 107,740 people.
Within the timeframe-from 2006 to 2010-70 percent of all shootings in Chicago, or about 7,500 out of over 10,000, are contained within all the co-offending networks. And 89 percent of those shootings are within the largest component.

If you run the numbers, it turns out that a mere 6% of Chicago's population account for the vast majority of all shootings. Which most people have long believed but it's nice to see it shown in an actual study.

Random Wikipedia Factoid I Encountered While Browsing

Sadly I couldn't find any video of this.

The song Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man details a moderately unpleasant on-air exchange between Emery and Roger McGuinn, the lead singer of the 1960s rock group The Byrds, concerning their 1968 appearance at The Grand Ole Opry. In that performance, the Byrds attempted unsuccessfully to convince traditional country music fans that their developing country rock sound was a legitimate part of the tradition. They were met with jeers and catcalls, in what may be interpreted as a sign of the increasing animosity at the time between rural or working-class (mostly Southern) whites (represented by Opry attendees and Emery's listeners) and young devotees of the counterculture (represented by the Byrds, with their long hair and "hippie" attire). Years later, though, there would be some reconciliation and even convergence of the opposing lifestyles in the "Outlaw" movement, popularized by the likes of Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.

Kate Upton: My Butt Deserves More Attention!

Challenge accepted.

Man Has Stereo Confiscated By Authorities For Playing "My Heart Will Go On" Over And Over

To serve and protect:

Gareth Davies, a 47-year-old resident of Kent County in southeast England, ignored noise complaints from his neighbors, repeatedly breaking a noise abatement notice by blasting Celine Dion's Titanic anthem "My Heart Will Go On" repeatedly. After the sixth violation, Medway Council officers seized all of Davies' possessions that could be used to play Dion's music, including his iPod, speakers, 3D TV and PlayStation. Davies also reportedly has a fondness for blasting the Toy Story theme song, "You've Got A Friend in Me."

Yahoo group. That is all.

74 Money can buy tons of happiness. Just because some miserable fuck died rich and miserable is no reason to say that money can't buy happiness. That is complete nonsense. This happens all the time in the English language. The saying "Things aren't always as they appear" gets misconstrued to mean "Things are never as they appear". Which is also nonsense. Most of the time things are jolly well as they appear. 99% or more of the time.

I had my car ('97 T-bird) here in Louisiana. Drove it home for Easter. It broke. She said I could drive "her" Jeep back instead.

Ft Polk sucks, but there are lots of woods and lots of little trails. Been exploring a little. Got a little carried away today. Pic linked in nick.

I sent her that pic. That's why she's pissed. That's still her baby. I say it's a Jeep and should be driven as such. Might need to put better tires on it. She didn't like that suggestion either.

139 "I say it's a Jeep and should be driven as such. Might need to put better tires on it."

After Chrysler bought them out, certain things went all to heck at Jeep, including any sense of suitability of tires. I remember looking at one guy's newly bought Grand Cherokee and saying, "Um, these are Eagle GA touring tires. Okay on the highway. You better go turn these in on something heavy duty if you plan to actually go off road."

The guy's wife, later, was not best pleased when they were up at the absolute remotest ass end of a trail later on with THREE popped tires. A full size spare isn't going to solve that problem.

I recall that they had to pay some local kid a ton of money for him to portage in a couple of replacement tires pre-mounted to wheels, one per trip, bungeed on the back of his dirt bike.

Yeah. Homer was at some animation festival and he watched a short scene there that had one or the other bombing an abortion clinic--I think the boy with the dog trying to stop him.

It was the later season (10? 12?) that alot of people think was the turning point for the series although other opinions as I recall from Jump The Shark are for the following season.

I only watched intermittently for the rest of that season and wasn't impressed with what followed; and a couple of nonreligious friends (who didn't care about that issue) gave up on the show about 4 or 5 episodes later too so it wasn't just me.

I made the point that they couldn't even write good Halloween shows any more (I tried giving the next several seasons' Halloween specials a try at least) and that was only one freakin' episode a year so how could they not come up with something good for it that they agreed with.

Down here it had been in the 50s for a day since the last snow but up there they still had ice all over the roads.

Got that fixed no charge with a new coupling, but looking at several thousand in mitigation costs again, and hadn't even settled the claim from January because no one could reach the adjuster the past 6 weeks. Now I'm assigned the same adjuster again and he's questioning why carpets and baseboards had to be ripped up again. I'd like to lock him in a basement with black mold for a week and see if he changes his tune.

Posted by: Peaches at May 01, 2014 10:59 PM (8lmkt) What makes the people happy or unhappy is the quality of their relationships and attitude toward life. If you have good relationships and a good attitude, lots of money will only make your life better. If you have miserable relationships and a crummy attitude, you'll be miserable whether rich or poor. I think that a lot of extremely rich celebrities have severe dysfunction in their lives in spite of their wealth because they have crummy attitudes.

In the UK now, as a taxpayer, you are sent a yearly statement of what your annual cheque to the Inland Revenue actually pays for, broken out in a pie chart for various government functions.

Welfare is the single largest category of expense.

I'd like to see that system adopted here in the States. I'd also like to see withholding done away with, so all the pain happens at once and people actually see just how big the bill is for government. No chance of either, of course.

284 After the sixth violation, Medway Council officers seized all of Davies' possessions that could be used to play Dion's music, including his iPod, speakers, 3D TV and PlayStation. I once lived in a small apartment and had a software monkey move in next door. One night really really loud music came on and didn't stop for hours. after the second time this happened I banged on the door but no one answered. Then one evening I heard the guy at his door, opened mine to say something and startled him and his heroin connection in the process of a deal. The next time the music started up I left, went to a friend's house and borrowed his Bass guitar amp, took it back to my place, hooked up my stereo to it, leaned it against the common wall turned it up and went to my girlfriend's house for the night. Never happened again.

I remember watching it before Hogan showed up there and thought that it could end up being a nice little company. They had the lucha libre guys, some up and comers that could really go, and some older guys that could actually work with the younger guys. Then, Hogan. He brings in his family and buddies and sucks all the money out of the place and they lose all the young guys, so now you get these kinds of bumps. I hope that Jarrett can get his new promotion going because for how average he is as an in-ring performer, he really knows how to set up and run a promotion.

Democrat Clinton Appointee Strikes Down Wisconsin Voter ID Law
Posted by: Maetenloch

Slight rewrite:

Appointee Unanimously Supported by Senate Republicans Strikes Down Wisconsin Voter ID Law

Because:

Lynn Adelman was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as a federal trial judge for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. The 58-year-old lawyer and legislator was confirmed without debate or a roll-call vote on the Senate's last day of business in 1997.

Republicans back home such as Gov. Tommy Thompson lobbied Republicans in the U.S. Senate to confirm Adelman, even though Adelman has taken votes and positions in his long legislative career that have drawn fire from GOP opponents. Thompson has said he contacted Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch of Utah and other Senate Republicans on Adelman's behalf, but he would not detail the extent of his lobbying.

By all indications, it helped. Adelman's nomination advanced in a relatively short time, and he drew only two negative votes from GOP senators on the Judiciary Committee last week.

His confirmation Thursday was done, along with a good deal of other business, by unanimous consent a common procedure for non-controversial items. The objection of any senator could have held up confirmation. That didn't happen.

So could we please stop with the "Whaa Clinton!: bellyaching of the last few days?

Last guy I met who lived (part of the year) in Salmon said he absolutely loved the place, would live there full time if he could, intended to hopefully retire there.

He had to keep his Commiefornia business going and spend part of the year out here overseeing it, as he couldn't afford yet to move full time to Salmon on what he could make locally there. (CA alimony situation, I believe.)

Why no "unswitchoffable" technology to record remotely (i.e., from the cockpit to the airport or some other entity)??? After all, if the NSA can remotely record our cell phone conversations... I'm sure a number of in-the-know folks here will know the answer. Still, just wondering.

348 Infidel, I wish you had asked question two weeks ago. Lord & Taylor had Friends & Family 25% off. It's over now, Saks & Bloomingdale's have had it in past few weeks. I have a gorgeous dark blue sleeveless dress by Elie Tahari in size 4. I bought it last summer on their website in a final sale. It's pleated & I love it. It will not zip past waist. They changed size standards last year. It's has been hanging in closet & I don't know what I can do with it. It's too tight to zip because I'm small but have 36C chest. If you are smaller on top you van have it. BC1981 has everyone in Yahoo Group email. Send him one if you think it will fit.

376 Yeah, my Dad didn't like Polk, and he was there when it was brand new. According to his buddies, the whole point of the Louisiana and Texas maneuvers was to make you glad to go to war wherever they ended up sending you. And it has served that function admirably for over 70 years.

But, my mother's brother married the daughter of the leading Leesville citizen who formed the citizens' committee that sold the idea of the place to the government. He (and quite a few others) did quite well by the deal; he left his car dealership and pulpwood holdings to my uncle (The Colonel, they called him in town). A good number of his brother officers retired to Leesville for its pleasant social scene. So, somebody liked it.

Milton talked about the mind making its own Heaven and Hell. I've known people who enjoyed their time at Loring and Minot. Anybody hate Ft Sill? An old boss of mine married (late in life, after long widowhood) a retiring Warrant Officer, and they moved to the retirement colony there. She thought it a paradise.

The private, internal communication directly contradicts the message that President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.

They often maintained that an anti-Islamic YouTube video inspired a spontaneous demonstration that escalated into violence. The email is entitled Â“Libya update from Beth Jones.

There is no uncertainty assigned to the assessment, which does not mention a video or a protest. The State Department provided the email to Congress in Aug. of 2013 under special conditions that it not be publicly released at that time. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) sought and received permission to release it Thursday. Â“If the video was a cause, why did Beth Jones of the State Department tell the Libyan Ambassador that Ansar Al Sharia was responsible for the attack?Â” said Chaffetz.

421 414 Human rights organizations report that the kidnappped girls are being forced to marry the leaders of the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram in mass weddings, and some fear that they "could become the latest sex slaves of the insurgents."

1. Mass weddings is a cult behavior
2. "kidnapped girls"
3. "forced to marry"

459 Max Power, I know of several men that had more money than they could ever spend. One got ALS & his money couldn't help him. It may have lead to a better treatment at nursing home, but I doubt it. He probably paid for private room. From too much experience with nursing homes, most of the people that take care of patients started for money, but they get attached to patients. There isn't enough money in the world to make me go to one,except when members of my family are at one.

464 Well, it's quarter after 10 here at Casa de Cthulhu, and the thermostat is saying 69, the whole house fan is on, and the breeze coming in the patio sidelight feels cool. Weather Underground has it hitting the magic 65 (where I find it easy to get to sleep) around midnight....but the accumulated heat of the stuff in the house generally causes it to rebound 2 degrees from when I close it up....and it won't get to 63 outside until 1 am.

So it's run the whole-house fan for another hour, button the place up, and use the AC again. I keep expecting some crazed local to pop up and scream about my sin against Mother Gaia when I do, but -- so far -- I've been lucky.

495 Fuck Fort Polk. It's good for thirty days of mission rehearsal, but Vernon Parish is a shithole and there are places in that backwater of a state that are worse than it is. The roads suck, the schools suck, the only local industry for seventy years has been leeching off the post, the training area is full of unexploded ordnance including four Davy Crockett "trainers", and the weather is like a prison sentence.

I did two years there as a support contractor after the Army, where I had visited there four times for JRTC rehearsals. I never want to go back.

Correct me if I am wrong, but back in the 'oughts of the twentieth century, horse thieving was serious business, and shooting a horse thief was of no great import, inasmuch as he would surely be hanged if he went to trial.

I could easily visualize an execution chamber -- prisoner is taken inside, put in a chair, restrained, attached to monitoring devices. Chamber then sealed. Sentence read, restraints fall away, nitrogen feed started into chamber. Exhaust from chamber channeled to small compartment where a candle is lit. Nitrogen level displayed -- 78%, then 79, then 80...

About 95%, condemned prisoner sags and flatlines....at about 97%, candle goes out.

In all seriousness, if you are going to put criminals to death, do like China does, and shoot them in the back of the head with a pistol. No muss, no fuss, and the round only costs about 50 cents. Which you bill the perp's family for, anyway. Why spend thousands and thousands of dollars on elaborate "execution theater", when a bullet gets the job done, quickly and painlessly? And pistols are already in inventory at any prison.

This lethal injection fad is a crock of shit. All it does is slander medical personnel who have to give injections to people to SAVE their life, while they are lying on a gurney, even. The process of killing should not bear any resemblance to a medical procedure.

The great majority of this BS is from activists attempting to backdoor an end to the death penalty.....but I'm willing to go along to a point. The fact is that continued living is a bit of a wonder -- and that there are a whole lot of ways to end up outside the "continued living" envelope. Helping people understand this might serve other purposes than efficiently removing miscreants from the public sphere.

IIRC, there was a SF story where the condemned was ushered into a room and shown a video of his "parole hearing", which seemed to go very well for him. At the end of this, he was told that he was free to go through an exit to the outside.

Thing was, if the ACTUAL parole hearing hadn't gone all that well, the doorknob was wired to 60,000 volts. But the condemned man would reach for and grab the doorknob with a song in his heart, thinking he'd gotten off.
