John McCain's temper in action. Elizabeth's sin was that she wrote an article in a newspaper that has been tremendously helpful to Republicans over the years - The Wall Street Journal - that was slightly critical of John McCain. Look at the steel in his eyes and the vindictiveness in his actions. Do you believe this man should be trusted with the most terrible weapons ever produced? Do you believe our enemies will never snub him? McCain, more dangerous than you can ever imagine. Look again
from dead thread:
billy b: well, that's my point. If Republicans were simply wrong on some facts, or conclusions drawn from facts, but still within the category of those who recognize reality and deal with it, and who recognize the common humanity of others, one could imagine a Republican who was, if someone you could disagree with, a recognizable, honest human being. It's become more and more clear that such beasts are rare to the extent that one must wonder about deeper issues.
baba: yup: see the Wombat Unified Bushist Theory...
underwhelm: yup: 'phony' is another way to say divorced from reality.
Meanwhile, the notion that the media report reality is increasingly absurd. Now, there's a fair amount of respectable philosophizing about reality and truth being social constructions, and about their relationship to power. Lots of lefties buy into this. There's a half-truth to it, and the left has been too slow, in my opinion (RMJ disagrees with me) in reconsidering this. But fact is, reality is, in fact, out there, and, eventually, will bite your ass if you're not nice to it.
Did they have an actual piece of accurate information?

Sparkle: you raise an interesting point. Religion's central element, some might say, is faith, which is to say the holding of beliefs for which there is no compelling evidence. This need not be destructive, and a lot of very bright folk, religious or not, have addressed the question of how faith can be consistent with good work in the real world. Not at all a trivial issue, and not one which I myself resolve by simply saying there's no place for faith, as some do. But the Republicans seem to have faith in some things--the 'free market', for instance--which reality directly contradicts, to use faith not in a manner which can coexist with reality, but which in fact is often in opposition to it...

Helicopter parents in NYT:
Norman E. Friedman, a consultant who conducts training at 44 camps, said parents also take up valuable camp resources by breaking the rules they have tacitly agreed to.
“They’ll give their child two cellphones, so if they get caught with the first one, ‘Just give it up and you’ll have the second one to talk to me,’ “ he said. “That’s widespread, not isolated. I call it fading parental morality. What they’re doing is entering into delinquent behaviors with their children. And what kind of statement is that to a child?”
He and others said parents also frequently send children away without packing their prescribed medication for attention deficits or psychological problems — and without letting camp staff know.

ProfWombat,
That WAS their story but then they came back and wanted concessions - actually demanded and took concessions - forcing the union to strike to enforce their contract. They finally capitulated and gave the company most of what they wanted. The company repaid them by voting the CEO an $8,000,000 bonus and firing the rest of the stupid motherfuckers.

John McCain reminds me of Cotton Hill, Hank Hill's dad on King of the Hill. Crochety, irrationally mean, bull-headedly stupid, and old as dust.
We sent our kids to camp one time only for two weeks. They came back and announced, "We did it. Now don't make us do it again." But their regular life looked kinda like summer camp to me- hanging with friends, biking, skiing, swimming, music and sports.
And yet, MoDo is feverishly searching for bad things to say about Obama.

Oh, and we had a summer camp a quarter of a mile from one of those elite girls all-summer camps with horses and everything, so they could canoe over and chat up the young lasses, so long as they did not leave the canoe and the girls did not enter it. Or so we were told.
Oh, sure; Gromit.

I remember the look of glee on my parents' faces as I boarded the New Haven Railroad car to go off to summer camp for two months. The subsequent non-existent to perfunctory correspondence. The total lack of visiting. The return to NYC and parents' reaction: a moment of non-recognition, then, "Huh? Back already?"
Gromit: the camp I mentioned was co-ed, with no restrictions on fraternization, though the camp director, by common understanding, was cloned into dozens of androids patrolling the grounds with flashlights, so ubiquitous and ill-timed were his appearances...

Seriously. My only conclusion is that the Democrats were complicit in his crimes.

Good morning everyone.
Check out the poem of the week, Home is so Sad by Philip Larkin. We're told "It's quiet, clever and intense." And, it is. This is another poem of few words, but much intensity. Writing on the blog has taught me the value of using fewer words to make the point. It's hard and takes true talent to do it well. The poet Philip Larkin does it. In the world of blogs, the master of that skill is Atrios.
Anyway, that's our little break from the rough and tumble world of politics. Thread away."

ABC News Officially Endorses John McCain For President
After tonight’s broadcast of ABC News with Charlie Gibson, ABC might as well openly declare its support for John McCain.
Hours after first watching it, I’m still stunned at just how blatant its bias was. About the only good thing I can say about it is that at this point Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos are so confident that they won’t be held accountable that they are getting arrogant and sloppy. As a result, tonight they made some glaring mistakes that make it easy to prove their bias towards McCain.
Here’s a video from the broadcast, followed by a writeup documenting the many ways in which it was biased.

Gimlet - The Paypal Has Been Limited e-mail is a variant of one that was much more general.

The problem was that all these e-mails referenced the address belonging to the domain that I own, and the e-mail account that I set up and the ISP facility which consists of exactly one member - me. And I was pretty sure that I wasn't threatening myself.....

R McG: if you hung on and joined the staff, as I did, you got to see Ernst Bulova--the camp director, a child psychologist and brilliant humanist--in a startling light. He knew, to a remarkable extent, the kids in the camp as individuals, and was thoroughly conscious of the tension between freedom and the illusion of freedom.
He once, in a staff meeting, started talking about AS Neill's 'Summerhill', then in vogue, a story of a school with no rules in which kids flourished. He said that what Neill and his acolytes never acknowledged was Neill's own towering personality, and that once Neill left Summerhill, the place fell apart. He didn't say so, but I watched as he tried to balance his own personality in the life of the camp, sometimes doing flashlight duty as well as quoting Goethe and Fromm. The place persists and prospers to this day. When he died, over a hundred, Buck's Rock avoided Summerhill's fate.

ProfWombat -- Yeah, I think that's what I was trying to get at much less articulately.
It's not the faith that's the problem. It's the specificity -- and the dogma. A particular god with particular rules, a particular economic system, social construct etc., that it's sacrilegious to challenge or test in any way.
Seems like there's so much contradiction in those kinds of closed belief systems. Their deadening and yet their ostensible purpose is to ward off death.

GWPDA: I've fallen in with this wonderful couple who, in their eighties, are still active, working all over the world. It's unbelievably fortuitous. We've sort of adopted each other, professionally and personally. And life holds few pleasures grander than sailing in Maine with people who, after fifty years of marriage and working together, sail a boat, hauling lines and talking to each other, coordinating their actions, bantering, with unrestrained joie de vivre.
Oh, for God's sake...if there is still a breathing human out there who actually believes ANYTHING coming through our MSM (and isn't suspect of other sources unless they do some digging)then we are surely DOOMED!!! Our media is constructed for people who tune in and out (short attention span) and don't think critically or question contradictions when they arise. I'd like to know WHY nothing is being said or reported about the House Judiciary committee hearings that were on C-span yesterday????? Once again Bruce Fein is the most articulate and well-prepared on these matters...it was laughable having to listen to the pandering by those few REPUGS who were present and stayed towards the two "witnesses" they had apparently put on the panel...One of them had ADHD it seemed and the other could barely sit up straight or answer questions. These hearings should be ALL OVER the media and I'm betting few people even knew they took place...SHAME

One story you're told as a kid
Benedict wrote his doctoral thesis on a legend attributed to St. Augustine.
The story goes that Augustine, walking along the beach, met a child who was using a scallop shell to scoop up the sea into a hole in the sand.
This revealed to Augustine the futility of trying to encompass the infinity of God within the confines of the limited human mind.
When I questioned an otherwise intelligent winger about the inconsistencies in the run-up to the Iraq invasion he responded that he thought the government had a lot more information on it that they couldn't release and we should give them the benefit of the doubt.
Sparkle: an instructive example is 'abstinence training'. It's been shown unambiguously not to work. People who are nominally opposed to abortion would, you'd think, note that more abortions result, and, appalled, look for other methods of addressing the problem. But they don't. Their faith doesn't allow them to question their preconceptions. And, of course, their entire agenda is in part about limiting the autonomy and sexual freedom of women, which the policy serves to do; they can't outright say that.
The DOD played politics with Obama. Now they'll run with the RNC talking points. Shame on them!!

He's rich now.
R McG: a remarkable character. He demythologized himself repeatedly. But you hung on into high school with him, he'd teach you effortlessly. I recall him talking about Fromm's 'Escape From Freedom' to me, at length, a book about the psychology of the Germans and others turning to Naziism in the chaos of Weimar. Stuff, I might add, he lived through. And he's doing it, weaving history, memoir, and the then-current issues of youth in the sixties, the war in Vietnam, and how he organized his summer camp. Extraordinary.
It was a grand place. The theatre program, for instance, produced four plays a year--serious plays: 'Antigone', 'Peer Gynt', 'Rhinoceros', 'The Adding Machine', 'Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme', 'The Trojan Women', like that. Over the seven summers I was there, I saW, maybe, 30 plays, and the whole camp talked about them. Heady wine for a kid who spent most of his time reading science fiction...

The time I visited there was a concert with four flautists playing Quantz. Even then I thought it was pretty remarkable that a summer camp could have four flautists.
Just in time too because our WACHOVIA stock is in the toilet! Shall I tell you where to send the check? As to the $50 Novak was ticked for (cheap for leaving the scene of an accident he caused, I'd say)...our son in Seattle got a $75 ticket for not putting his foot down when he stopped at a STOP sign in the pouring rain when no one else was coming either way...seems fair, non?
OOPS, perhaps I should have mentioned he was riding his bicycle...not in a FRED FLINTSTONE automobile...

R McG: different cast of characters every year. One year, they had a red-hot MIT grad running their electronics shop; he and I homebrewed a CW (Morse Code only) ham radio transmitter from spare parts.
A great place for me to have spent my time.

I got one of those. I only saw it because I clicked on the "junk mail" link, rather than my "inbox"
ProfWombat -- Oh, yes, definitely. A classic example. Such spiritual death in pro-life's name. Sad irony . . .
God, have I been out of touch. Didn't even know about the Novak accident thing.

Cooling stations are in place for street folks, plantsman. But from my observations, there's lots more people on the street than have been.

One of the reasons I posted it here was to see if others got similar e-mails and to warn them.
Gimlet, I immediately foward any questionable emails to spoof@paypal.com. Many sites such, as Paypal, will let you know if the email is legit or not. NEVER open any questionable emails.
