Midday Dump
— Ace

Sean Trende estimates an 80% chance that the GOP will take the Senate.

The CIA allegedly spied on Congress' viewing of documents.

That leftist Frank Thomas I mentioned earlier marks the passing of Harold Ramis by calling his comedies some sort of crypto-fascist Reaganite propaganda or something.

This is part of the reason I try to put the brakes on going too far with cultural rejectivism. At some point, one just sounds absurd. No one listens to anything someone says once the speaker has been characterized as "just plain ol' silly."

Obama is appearing on every tv outlet he can. Alas, he even showed up to introduce Cosmos, thus immediately politicizing the very thing (science) which the show is attempting to depoliticize.

Obama talked a good game about our shared national commitment to exploring the planets, to fulfilling our deepest dreams as humans. I guess he forgot to mention he's cutting funding for that. Of course, when the government spending is now up to 70% direct wealth transfers -- that is, 70% of its spending is just taking income from one citizen and writing a check to another -- you're just not going to have very much money for those shared national commitments to fulfill our deepest dreams as humans.

Mostly you're just going to be arguing about expanding the "risk corridors" for socialized insurance corporations.

Finally, Nancy Pelosi has a Republican "friend" (or "colleague") who tells her secrets.

I asked a Republican friend why his party remains so opposed to extending the vital lifelines for struggling families and really hungry children. This colleagueÂ’s response was telling in its blunt nature and itÂ’s stunning in its honestly. What he said was to the Republican caucus, these people you are talking about are invisible, and the Republican caucus is indifferent to them. Invisible and indifferent. This is just plain wrong. That is not the leadership the American people deserve and it is up to us to demonstrate clearly how Democrats are different.

@ConArtCritic will be starting his election coverage a little later for the Florida 13th special election between Alex Sink (D) and David Jolly (R). It's viewed as a bellwether, an early indicator of each party's relative strength going into November.

So he'll be on later to cover that, with some new bells and whistles.

Until then, Open Thread.

11 "Sean Trende estimates an 80% chance that the GOP will take the Senate."

In 2012, I was dour about the Presidential prospects for the Mittbot, but I had high hopes for several Senate races.

Then? Akin. Mourdock. And a long cascade of smaller disasters. I figure as many as five Senate seats got handed over to Democrats that cycle. All for absolutely no good reason.

I'll believe in the ability of the GOP to avoid snatching defeat from the jaws of victory once that actually stops happening.

Plus, if any of the upstart conservatives actually win any primaries, the wrath of the RINO establishment will once again be a factor. You think Dick Lugar was a pissy little bitch after being primaried out? Ain't seen nuthin yet.

16 I have a high-ranking Democrat friend. I asked why his party keeps punishing the Middle Class. His response was stunning -- Mostly because the middle class is mainly white and we, the Democratic Party, just hate white people. Like really, really hate 'em. A lot. Like, oh boy, do we hate them. I wish I could say it's because we are motivated by our marxist, socialist, fascist belief system -- but it's mainly cause of our burning hated of anyone with white skin.

Either the Satellites are already up there and just being harnessed to do that (in which case we now know about them) or something got lost in translation. No one would launch 10 satellites for this, and even if it were a ploy, a 10 satellite launch is one hell of a coordinated thing to pull off. As for repositioning, that's a PITA, China wouldn't do that, hell the US wouldn't do that.

I'll let you gentle folk look it up in the dictionary, but imagine me in my batman thong racing across a 37 acre lot gathering up trash that was "strewn" from my manly grip. It was an innocent trip to the trash can than went horribly wrong, and the next thing I knew I was in one bunny slipper and an ill-fitting overcoat screaming profanities as I chased down Carl's Jr. bags that I don't want my wife to find. Strewn. I have new respect for that word.

53 CIA 'spying on congress'.
They way I heard it, congressional staffers were worried that documents they wanted would disappear, so they copied documents they were not supposed to copy.

So is it a leak investigation? Congress taking documents they were not supposed to take?

Who can you trust; the democrats, CIA, Obama, or the news media?

To me, it looks like a repeat of the '70's and a demand that the CIA stop 'spying on' anti war protestors which resulted in the Church Commission and stopped the CIA from 'operating' within the US.

Of course we now know that North Vietnam appreciated all the help they were getting from the anti war protestors so it looks like the unamerican activities of the progressives is going to work for them yet again, (McCarthy, the Church Commission, and Feinstein's allegation. Why stop doing it, if it works for you?)

58 Pelosi's comment is one of a billion examples of people (not just on the left but Oh Boy is it common there) just making an Affirming Statement That Affirms Their Prejudices. Whether she made it up or someone actually told her something vaguely like that or she just wildly reinterpreted something, she was going to say that, because It's What She Believes. And it will echo throughout the left just like racist TEA Party rallies that didn't happen, or that the Mission Accomplished banner wasn't actually for the ship's crew instead of the whole war, or that Iraq never had or tried to get WMDs... because the alternative is that they're wrong about something, and They Can Never Be Wrong. Frankly, the only way to deal with this situation is strict limits on how much power any person or group can have, and that's the *first* thing people like this try to undo - because They're So Right and If They Only Get A Chance to fix everything, It Will Really Work This Time! In other words, they're kookoobananas.

Yeah, this pissed me off. I was already not going to watch Cosmos because I saw it pushing evolution crap, but Obama as intro? Fuck that. Then the host attacks the Bible, too. Screw Fox and its pro-Obama/anti-Christian propaganda. And yes, FOX is pro-Obama, I'm not talking Fox NEWS Network here.

If this were 2007, would they ask George W Bush to intro? Of course not. They're brown-nosing Obama and it's sick.

But then, Obama believes the unscientific hoax of Global Warming so I guess it's appropriate for him to intro a show with evolution in it.

98 Vietnam might have splashed the airliner.
Reason ? Unknown but in self interest would be stupid since they share a border with the PRC and already involved with the PRC in the Spratley Islands dispute.

So for the sake of argument, Vietnam does order a shoot down.
Method of shoot down? Guns or IR missile or SARH missile?

Guns would give time for a Mayday. Same for an IR missile that strikes the engine. A SARH would aim for biggest radar return - the fuselage which would preclude most likely the crew getting a Mayday off.

Where they fight the cultural side by using a dude who isn't a scientist by the longest shot. Rather a dude who was basically modern version of a dirty Haight Ashbury Hippie that was not only into denial of the 17th Century church but a man who was pushing a voices in his head from some panotheism for why the church doctrine was wrong. The issue was that if you actually look at his writings you see is that he a complete loon, but only tangential touched on how heliocentric idea of the universe existed. So as those who Dr. Tyson derided as "flat earthers" for cherry picking science; it seems hypocritical to have him cherry pick history to find basically a nobody believer in mysticism to help "prove" the evils of religion.

145 thunderb, reading page 19 of the forum. The DHL/Russian airliner merge is very unlikely as a scenario.

The ATC center controlling both flights, one of the controllers on duty decided to take a break leaving one guy covering their area. So one guy was trying to monitor two scopes. And there were contractors in the center who had temporarily knocked out the main phone line.

Meanwhile on both planes TCAS did sound when they were on collision. However the reaction of the two crews to the warning was not good. Their actions ensured a collision would happen.

And as a final grim post script, the father of one of the Russian children killed in the crash later murdered the controller who was on the scopes.

I never found out but I assumed it was true.
