Latest (angry) McCain ad: (Black guy) Obama doesn't care about hispanics.
portia linked to this in previous thread.
Obama did mention Spain which, if memory serves, is full of Hispanics.
This was dead-threaded, and so here's my summary of McCain's Spanish latest ad:
"See...these clips we put together?! Of Obama saying the names of different countries?! He doesn't mention Latinos!"

Hey Virgotex,
I remember seeing that written up before. Great place for an arachnophobic. 
NTodd, let's see, 1986...we had an infant in the house, and she was ours. So of course no rest for the wicked.
Looking back on it, I don't know how we did it, but when I see the photos from that time, we're all smiling. Which mystifies me because we were constantly exhausted.
forget about Miltie. I heard that Jerry Lewis was the biggest of all, if you're only counting white boys.
But, I heard, and I am sure Simels will back me up on this, that Sammy Davis Jr. had the biggest of all. That's why he got into the white boys gang.

However now I think I'm going to try to attract the buzzards I've seen in the area. Put out some gobbets of raw flesh. Have buzzards nesting on my roof.
NTodd, I was with Maddy and Mlle all day Thursday. We were in Vroman's Books, a Real Bookstore (Diane can attest to this), and in the children's reading area, there's a wooden train set, with lots of cars and track. For about an hour, Maddy walked around the train table, pushing the train cars and going "choo choo!" the entire time, but when she passed her mom, she'd interrupt the sound effects and say "hi Mama!" Then back to train sound effects--lather, rinse, repeat
When we're walking, she tells her mom, "Mama hand," and then she'd tell me, "Nana hand." That way she's got an adult on either side of her.
Okay, okay, I know, I'm being a silly grandma here

NTodd, she also understands when restaurant servers ask her what she wants. Our server asked her what she wanted to drink, and she said, "Wawa!" Mlle asked her if she'd rather have soy milk or juice, and Maddy shook her head and said, "No! Wawa!"
lot of buzzards in my area Doug, because of the wildlife roadkill.
Buzzards are funny animals. Though, they do essential work.
I love to see them on damp mornings- they sit on the radio towers or on top of phone pole, with their wings raised to dry out.

Is that ok?
Of course it's okay. But why do you think we need to focus on demographics, instead of being Americans who support candidates?
This is how they control us: divide and conquer, convince us that we all have unique needs, and play us against each other. Mayhaps if we refused their framing, we might fight them better and achieve all our interests that much more effectively.
Are hispanics somehow more for war, or more against healthcare than the rest of the folks here? The majority of Americans want to end the war and take the monies to pay for healthcare. That's not a demographic issue. Etc.

Is it about treatment, really? I don't think the political polling is. It's about convincing us that we have differences, and microcontrolling us.
Poverty is not unique to a demographic, nor hunger, nor violence, nor the need to have shelter. Certainly when government and/or society addresses those needs/issues, they might have to come up with solutions that will be weighted toward one community or another, but the problems are universal.
The more we accept the demographic breakdowns that marketers have foisted upon us, the more we accept the consumerism and political divisions that enable the status quo. We might consider rejecting them and addressing electoral politics as progressives, not hispanic progressives, or black progressives, or anything else.
I like Montreal as well.

Those fries look delish too, Jeffraham.
I always thought In and Out Burger was a sexual euphemism.
It's a tricky question: When does empowerment become estrangement?
If you accept empowerment as an individual thing, then it's less tricky. I have power as a person. Sure, I can identify with my family, my girlfriend, my Pack, my town, my race, my religion, my nation, my whatever. But I am empowered to act as a moral agent.
That will definitely estrange me from some people who don't want me to act. But that's generally an interpersonal thing, not really based on a particular demographic.
What if the larger society says that it's okay to engage in slavery? Racism? Sexism? Should the empowered individual conform? That's an individual choice, of course.
So here we are, accepting the media and polling firms' frame, that there are specific groups of people that Obama somehow needs to court, with specifically tailored words, and if he misses one (hey, he didn't mention Latinos in his Berlin speech!), he can be excoriated. Perhaps we should work to destroy THAT tendency as part of our efforts to get him elected.
That said, I do understand that no matter what I say there are some folks here who will reject it because of how they feel about me. That's not a demographic thing. That's an interpersonal thing, too. Ah, well...
That will definitely estrange me from some people who don't want me to act.

NTodd believes that societies are formed by individuals. He is mistaken. Individuals are formed by society -- the group comes first -- relationship creates individuals -- Descartes was before the horse (I know it is tiresome to blame Descartes for everything, but sometimes it is true).

I'd say it goes both ways, nature vs nurture. And an individual still has a moral agency independent of that society, which is why we can engage in antithesis and eventually synthesis (Hegel, I presume?).

I'm disagreeing back. If individuals are only formed by society, then there'd never be revolution, let alone individual rebellion. People can see that their society lacks something and try to effect change. Sure, they're going against said society, but they clearly can be exposed to ideas from outside that society and even come up with ideas of their own, unless you subscribe solely to an Humean notion of where ideas come from...

But race had nothing to do with it, McCain's staff assures us. Really. Some of McCain's best reporters are black. Well, no they're not. The only black one just got asked to leave. And lots of other white reporters were in the same "restricted" zone but they weren't asked to leave. Only the black one. Well that's not really true.

Dunno who started Head Start, but I know there weren't very white people working there & even fewer males -- when I went to a major workshop for Southwestern Ohio, the number of white males participating were two (& I don't know who the other guy was).
American society (especially then) indicated the value it placed on things by the number of white males involved -- Head Start was a sop to the bleeding hearts & my heart still breaks when I think about how hard we worked to accomplish so little -- Uncle Blodge still around?

mer, I worked Kids Day at the Zoo yesterday. It's great exposure.
The number one question we encountered was:
Do you guys take Priority Health Medicaid?
There is not a single doctor's practice in this region that is open to ANY Medicaid right now, including the group for whom I work. We still have some family prac/internists who do accept Medicaid. But we're few and far between.
Very telling. It's in my report to the execs.
I work for a GREAT corp. I love my job. Our docs take plenty of Medicaid patients. But some practices are full to the point that they can't take any more patients.
We, as a nation, are almost at the point where single payor will become the reality out of necessity.
When it comes down to it, I don't give a shit whether there's free will or not, or if it's nature or nurture. It's all rather an adolescent argument, and completely beside the point of living in the real world.
Plus there's a whole section about how I fucked around with a bunch of atriots. Personally, I think I came close to screwing mimi.
Hey, wasn't this supposed to be the vaginaey thread, since the previous one was so prickish?
stupid. it is actually common to tell Ntodd he is full of it.
It's quite the popular sport, in fact!
It's also quite popular to think that when *I* disagree, that somehow I'm not allowing people to disagree with me. I find that intriguing...
Uncle Blodge -- it was just that feeling of simultaneous hope & helplessness when working with the kids -- I got 'em long before they got to you & i was feeling like it was already too late -- I was the closest thing to a father most of those kids & sharing some guy with a roomful of other kids for half a day is no father (not that a lesbian couple can't raise children ... I'll come in again ...)
OK -- bats -- for me it is late & so good night!
NTodd and I can disagree and we don't tell each other to go fuck ourselves. I find that admirable. Matter of fact I like NTodd very much.
Oh, yeah baby, it turns me on when you're being so cold and distant.
There should have been a comma in there.
Damn Simels.

How gaii.
Do you object to framing itself, or accepting the framing from others?
Both. My original point was that I don't like how we all talk of the demographic polling. "They" pushed that on us, and we continue to parrot it instead of saying, "stop this nonsense, we're Americans and the majority want out of Iraq..."
Everything else is trickery to get Obama et al to say an introduction in Spanish when speaking to the Germans or whatever. Fundamentally, it was a bit of a throw away comment indicating some discomfort I have with the notion that we must needs be divided by the artifice of race in a national race (ahem), and I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition...
simels is commatose
I agree with what NTodd said. I am afraid to disagree with him to be honest.
Now uncle, may I call you uncle, when did you call out our NTodd? I thought only Simels ever did that. And Simels was always wrong. This is our very fine boy we are talking about. I mean, the young man waves a dildo around in public for goodness sake. And to this day he is proud of it. Let's allow him to grow up. He's a cute kid.
mer is what's wrong with this country. And Moe is what's wrong with Canada.
Disgusting show on MSNBC: a homosexual in prison is talking about how he's in trouble again and how this happens regularly, in fact it seems to happen trhe same time every year. After a while it becomes clear he is talking about blowing a guy and getting caught (while ostensible watching religious tapes). He isn't allowed to blow people in prison and get caught. For sixty days he has what little activities and possessions he is already allowed taken away. At the point where we changed the channel he says "given what I am this will probably happen again." Prison's in Iowa by the way, we're sure that isn't playing a role.
How stupid and evil is this?

"I was the closest thing to a father most of those kids & sharing some guy with a roomful of other kids for half a day is no father"
I had a student in summer school who had issues.
he accidentally shot and killed his brother - and was still in legal trouble over it (his mom said it was going to be ok but...)
he was kind of crazy. don't ask how I managed to get him to work enough to pass but i did - and part of it was by telling him he was too going to get his ass to school and do the goddamn work.
I don't know what effect 3 weeks will have but hopefully someone later will be able to reach the kid.

The latest follies in CA
---
California's Medi-Cal program, which funds health care for 6.6 million low-income people, is being hit with a double whammy.
Starting next week, Medi-Cal payments will cease for about 4,700 hospitals, clinics, adult day care centers, convalescent homes and other institutions until the state's budget deadlock ends.
And last month, a 10 percent fee cut took effect for the large network of doctors, pharmacists, dentists and other health care professionals who serve Medi-Cal patients around the state. The cut is expected to save $610 million a year for Medi-Cal, the state's second largest program covered by the general fund.
-----
Essentially, this is the handiwork of 10 'Thuglicans in the State Senate who are blocking the budget from passing. (2/3 majority in both Houses required).
I would guess that if WGG were a resident of this state, he would have plenty to say about 'Thuglican State Senators and the appropriatness of their acquiring personalized DSHs. This is, of course, only conjecture on my part, but in this circumstance it would be entirely irresponsible not to speculate.

Uncle, I think you are not thinking clearly. Didn't you hear NTodd's reply to you. Please answer the young man's question.
NYT:
WASHINGTON — Until the anthrax attacks of 2001, Bruce E. Ivins was one of just a few dozen American bioterrorism researchers working with the most lethal biological pathogens, almost all at high-security military laboratories.
Today, there are hundreds of such researchers in scores of laboratories at universities and other institutions around the United States, preparing for the next bioattack.
But the revelation that F.B.I. investigators believe that the anthrax attacks were carried out by Dr. Ivins, an Army biodefense scientist who committed suicide last week after he learned that he was about to be indicted for murder, has already re-ignited a debate: Has the unprecedented boom in biodefense research made the country less secure by multiplying the places and people with access to dangerous germs?
We still don't really know those anthrax attacks didn't originate from somewhere in the Islamic world.
Except for the crude death threats written by someone who assumed that Arabs can't spell or speak in complete sentences, and the fact that the letters targeted "liberals," who are supposedly on the side of Islamofascism, and the fact that the anthrax was a domestic strain, you're might be right...except that there's no evidence at all for your nonsense.

Jonathan Alter:
Where Have You Gone, John?
In the middle of John McCain's dopey Britney & Paris attack ad, the announcer gravely asks of Barack Obama: "Is He Ready to Lead?" An equally good question is whether McCain is ready to lead. For a man who will turn 72 this month, he's a surprisingly immature politician—erratic, impulsive and subject to peer pressure from the last knucklehead who offers him advice. The youthful insouciance that for many years has helped McCain charm reporters like me is now channeled into an ad that one GOP strategist labeled "juvenile," another termed "childish" and McCain's own mother called "stupid." The Obama campaign's new mantra is that McCain is "an honorable man running a dishonorable campaign." Lame is more like it. And out of sync with the real guy".
So true, but I disagree that last sentence it's "out of sync with the real guy - this is the real "straight talker"!
John McCain hasn't been a "maverick" since he was trying to woo Dems and Independents in 2000!
This is the true John McCain.
and Alter says this:
That's because McCain is patently insincere when his heart's not in it, like a little boy who eats his peas when his parents tell him to but remains transparently unhappy about the experience. It's not clear how committed McCain himself is to this latest assault on Obama. Does he genuinely believe that Obama is an out-of-control egomaniac who thinks he's Moses? McCain no doubt comforts himself that the ad making that argument—an argument that is beneath a major-party candidate for president—was not part of a big media buy but just chum thrown to the media piranhas via the Drudge Report.
He'll do anything - say anything to get elected, Jon!

I'm gonna go out on a limb, and say that it was an American with access to weaponized anthrax from a domestic lab, and a fairly solid grasp of American politics and media.
Then who was actually responsible for the anthrax attacks?
It has been pretty much understood for years now that whoever mailed the anthrax was almost certainly an American right-wing extremist who hated the media, and had access to Army bioweapons, and that the real effect of the attacks was to clear away rational thought for the rape of Iraq (which was quite brainlessly blamed by the respectable sources that are so quick to lecture about conspiracy throry). From a TV justice perspective the question has no answer. You know what would bring us closer to an answer would be a new approach to government transparency in the investigation of this administration.
Phila: hard to credit a foreigner with the impulse to send anthrax to, of all places, the National Enquirer building.
A foreign terrorist likely wouldn't have chosen, say, Oklahoma City either...

The number of Americans infected by the AIDS virus each year is much higher than the government has been estimating, U.S. health officials reported, acknowledging that their numbers have understated the level of the epidemic.
The country had roughly 56,300 new HIV infections in 2006 — about a 40 percent increase from the 40,000 annual estimate used for the past dozen years. The new figure is due to a better blood test and new statistical methods, and not a worsening of the epidemic, officials said.

The graph does not say that adopted children necessarily have low income. On the contrary, some have high and some have low income and the same is true of biological children. What the graph says is that higher parental income predicts higher child income but only for biological children and not for adoptees.
What do parents transmit to their biological children but not to their adopted children? Genes. When we observe, as we do, that low-income parents tend to have low-income children and high-income parents tend to have high-income children we should not bemoan the inequities of nurture but rather the inequities of nature.
I bet you say that to all the able-bodied seamen...

hmmm: your cite takes a long, long leap, well in advance of the available facts. Among obvious flaws in the study is that when white folk adopt Korean children, there are differences in how those kids are accepted. The conclusion, that gene transmission is the only difference between biological and adopted kids, is absurd on its face. (I speak here as the parent of both biological and adopted children.) The graph demonstrates that non-adoptees in general earn more than adoptees, and could as easily be interpreted as demonstrating that adoptees--for a host of reasons, many of which have nothing to do with genetics--are at a disadvantage.
Then, how do you get policy out of it? You don't, for the reason the paper itself cites, that, even if you accept the conclusions at face value, there's enough variability in both cohorts such that policy must be made in order to offer equality of educational and professional opportunity to all, regardless of status.
Genes are no more the whole story than the New Socialist Man after the Revolution finally came would have been.

Hmmmmm: not so. A common sense view suggests that one is dealt a hand, by genetics and environment, internal and external, and then plays it as best one can. Given the view, again consistent with common sense and experience, that human destiny is multifactorial, one is obligated to lead one's own life as decently as possible, and to help others do the same. Insisting on the primacy of either nature or nurture is a fool's game, diversionary and usually self-serving.

Positively worthy of Azathoth.
George Will is, on the other hand, about to see a new burst of well-placed howling that things have evolved to their current parlous state not through the magic of historical mechanism but because of actual malfeasance in the conduct of government, and that things can, should and damn well must be done better.
This isn't fine tuning, George, and has nothing to do with fine tuning. Your seeking subtlety here is like looking for gold in a coal mine.
How can anyone hate well-played keyboard percussion... marimba, glockenspiel, vibes...

So are the asian nazis going to educate me a little more about the Mothers?
The idiot bastard son
The father's a Nazi in Congress today
The mother's a hooker somewhere in LA
The idiot boy
Abandoned to perish in back of a car
Kenny will stash him away in a jar
Those Mothers?
Will Brett Favre be a Rough Rider or a Alouette next year???
Brett Favre - yes, I can see him in Edmonton. Prolly warmer than Green Bay.
Put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up.
Heh. Indeed!

They will pay to keep him away.
3rd and two.
Blocking from the rear.
Watch it D.
Sheets, jackel.
12 seconds.
So if we can't afford to buy Chinese goods anymore because transportation costs are skyrocketing will they dump our T-Bills?
George Johnston
Like, overboard? To lighten the ship?
We're watching dude.
George Will says we're about to see a new burst of misplaced confidence in the ability of government to fine tune society.
Well, Will can eat my shorts if he thinks what's needed is "fine tuning."
It's been really, truly broken for at least thirty-five years, and has been getting worse over time--and particularly over the last eight. These bozos have been out to prove to the public--right from the start--that the government is incapable of helping ordinary people (although it's done right well by the wealthy in society), starting with the events of 9/11.
The most expensive and extensive early warning system in the world was utterly thwarted by less than two dozen people equipped with Bronze Age tools--knives.
They wanted government to fail, and dramatically.
Therefore, what's required, for many years to come, are people who want government to succeed on behalf of all the people, are smart enough to do it, and are aware enough to see the wreckage for what it is and begin to clear it away and rebuild.
George Will willfully ignores the immensity of the task, because he's hoping society stays pretty much as it is, which is good for him.
