I think this week is an illustration of how our media is going.......I go through the [digital] New York Times every day, but have not found anything worth passing on this week, which is pretty sad. My original title for DDD was "I read the NYT, so you don't have to"......
Now it's "I read the good websites, so you don't have to".......the result is here though - some great stories for you.......
1/ An excellent look at the Southern State's right wing mentality, and how dangerous it is.......it's as if the Tea Party is the new Confederacy......
The South’s victim complex: How right-wing paranoia is driving new wave of radicals
New wingnut pols may be laughed at as they enter Washington, D.C. But here's why their anger is deadly serious
(Credit: AP/Dave Martin)
Southern voters will go to the polls in November 150 years, almost to the day, after Gen. Sherman commenced his March to the Sea, breaking the back of the Confederacy and leaving a burnt scar across the South. The wound never fully healed. Humiliation and resentment would smolder for generations. A sense of persecution has always mingled with the rebellious independence and proud notions of the South’s latent power, the promise that it “will rise again!” Congressman Paul Broun Jr., whose Georgia district spans nearly halfof Sherman’s calamitous path to Savannah, evoked the “Great War of Yankee Aggression”in a metaphor to decry the Affordable Care Act on the House floor in 2010. The war, in Broun’s formulation, was not a righteous rebellion so much as a foreign invasion whose force still acts upon the South and its ideological diaspora that increasingly forms the foundation of conservatism.
The persecution narrative deployed by Broun, so woven into Southern culture and politics, has gained national currency. Contemporary conservatism is a Southern politics. Ironically, the Southern persecution narrative, born of defeat, has spread nationwide to form the basis of Republican victories since Reagan and the conservative hegemony that moderated President Clinton, establishing through President George W. Bush nearly 40 years of rightward movement at the national level. It is the South’s principal political export, now a necessary ideological substrate in Republican rhetoric. Lee Atwater, the Karl Rove of the Reagan era, explained the nationalization of Southern politics accomplished with the 1980 campaign and election of President Reagan: “The mainstream issues in [the Reagan] campaign had been, quote, ‘Southern’ issues since way back in the Sixties,” Atwater said in 1981. Likely the foremost representative of that Southern mood was Alabama’s George Wallace, who in his 1963 gubernatorial inaugural address, the infamous “Segregation Forever” speech, invoked Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis and raged that “government has become our god.” Just months later, that omnipotent force would defeat Wallace when President Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard and forced desegregation at the University of Alabama. Wallace, though, would be rewarded for his stand, and the governor carried five Deep South states in his 1968 presidential run.
2/ There is an ad campaign running to persuade doubters that "Republicans Are People", and the one minute video is below, but the takeaway is the victim mentality that many right wingers have. A strange and kind of sad little one minute video......very defensive......
Poor babies.
Yes, after years of being forced to constantlty counter vile and often outlandish statements, batshit crazy assertions, racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, even sexophobic (like Rick Santorum’s comments about people who feel free to “do stuff in the sexual realm”) remarks, and wildly unhinged theories, it turns out that the poor widdle wepubwicans are the ones who got their widdle feewings hurt…
And that’s why one Republican strategist came up with the ad campaign titled, wait for it… “Republicans Are People Too”.
Yes, you read that right. And that sense of deja vu you have? Well, just say it like this, “Republicans ARE people, my friend.” Kinda like corporations. And with about the same moral compass.
The campaign consists of a website, a Facebook page, a Twitter account, the hashtag #imarepublican(which is hilarious reading), and a youtube video (below) that’s reminiscent of a bad sales meeting powerpoint, full of slides of stock photos of Republicans doing the kind of stuff that gets you labeled a “R.I.N.O.” (Republican In Name Only} by the right wing press and the GOP’s Tea Party base. Things like driving a Prius, or recycling, or reading the New York Times in public, or being black. OMG!
So of course some jokesters took the ad, and modified it slightly.......most amusing........
3/ Jon Stewart on a roll......hanging the politicians trying [and succeeding a lot of the time] to make you scared. Four pretty good minutes......
Jon Stewart said Thursday night Republicans want to do whatever is necessary to save American lives, except when it comes to things like heart disease or gun deaths or… you get the idea.
Stewart first tackled the media freakouts over ebola and ISIS with the very calming “you might have heard we’re all gonna die.” He mocked some of the more ridiculous theories being thrown out about how to deal with these threats.
But what really rubbed Stewart the wrong way is Republicans saying they want to do whatever it takes to save Americans… with a few exceptions. Stewart pointed to bigger killers of Americans like heart disease, gun deaths, etc. to show that Republicans won’t do “whatever it takes” to stop things that are actually killing Americans.
4/ A thoughtful, reasoned and intelligent story about the background and consequences of the breakdown in civility and reasonableness in our public life. The Fox News picture leading the article is a little misleading - Fox is part of the process, but it's much deeper than that. This is a excerpt from the new book by Joseph Heath, which needs to be read by anyone who cares about our future.....
One of the best, and smartest pieces I have read for a while, and again he does not have any easy solutions or optimistic promises for the future. We are on a path, and don't know where it's going.

An epidemic of craziness seems to have swept over the American political landscape. This is of course a problem not just for Americans, but for people all around the world. It remains the case that most people think of the United States as the world’s leading democracy. Although they may not choose to imitate many of the specific features of American democratic institutions, the prestige of democracy around the world is very much tied up with the performance of the American system. When this political system proves demonstrably incapable of keeping charlatans, conspiracy theorists, and religious fanatics out of political power, this is a huge blow to the prestige of democratic systems as a whole.
To see the problem that this creates, consider the situation in China, where plenty of people have very reasonable concerns about the possible consequences of democratization and whether it would be, on the whole, good for their country. Defenders of the existing system, such as Zhang Weiwei, put the argument in exactly these terms: “Despite its well-known strengths, liberal democracy as an institution has been seriously eroded by such persistent problems as demagoguery, short-termism, simple-minded populism, the excessive influence of money and the role played by special interests . . . the Chinese system of meritocracy makes it inconceivable that anyone as incompetent as America’s George W. Bush or Japan’s Yoshihiko Noda could ever get to the top.” The more degraded and corrupt American democracy becomes, the more difficult it becomes to argue for democracy—even if many of the conditions in the United States are a consequence of unusual features of that particular political system, which need not be imitated elsewhere.
5/ Bill Maher's "New Rules", a decent one about how even though Congress's approval rating is 9%, all of the assholes keep being reelected......four funny minutes......
Bill Maher ended his show last night going after Congress, specifically those members who have been caught up in scandal but will have no problem getting reelected. He asked, “Who do you have to blow to get thrown out of Congress?!”
Vance McAllister, the “kissing Congressman,” will likely get reelected, along with Mark Sanford,Michael Grimm, and the Tennessee pro-life congressman who pressured his mistress to get an abortion, despite their respective scandals.
Maher decided to take this to absurd heights, proposing that a member of Congress kill someone on live television and announce they did it for sexual arousal, just to see if they’ll get reelected instead.
6/ This is a perfect illustration of Floriduh aka "South Mississippi"......a cellphone video of a Tallahassee cop tasing a 62 year old woman in the back as she was walking away from him. If you don't think there's a racial problem in this country, watch this video.
Listen to the commentary from a guy on his porch videotaping the incident, and after she is tased and lying on the ground watch the cops laughing.....

A new cellphone video released by the Tallahassee Police Department shows Officer Terry Mahan tasing 62-year-old resident Viola Young on Tuesday afternoon. The police had just made arrests related to reports of drug dealing in the area when Young approached Mahan to ask about one of the men they had apprehended.
Mahan instructed her to stay back and tried to grab her arm. When she turned and walked away, Mahan fired a Taser into her back, causing her to fall face-forward onto the ground. She was subsequently taken into custody on charges of resisting an officer without violence.
7/ Another great segment from John Oliver, this one on drones......very funny, and excellent reporting too.....14 minutes......
Did you know that America recently carried out drone strikes in Waziristan and Yemen?
Don't worry if your answer is 'no' - because as John Oliver points out, you were unlikely to find out unless you were watching the Iranian government's English-language TV channel.
Check out this clip from 'Last Week Tonight', in which Oliver investigates how and why America uses its drones - including the loopholes that allow it to deploy them even if the threat isn't 'imminent' and the targets are innocent civilians. It's fascinating, funny, important and terrifying in equal measure.
8/ A controversial and excellent story from Tim Dickinson in Rolling Stone, on the Koch brothers and the nasty way they make their money.........you think you know their business, but you don't. They are like spiders with tentacles in every corner of the US economy, and screwing and poisoning all of us wherever they can......
Together, Charles and David Koch control one of the world's largest fortunes, which they are using to buy up our political system. But what they don't want you to know is how they made all that money
The enormity of the Koch fortune is no mystery. Brothers Charles and David are each worth more than $40 billion. The electoral influence of the Koch brothers is similarly well-chronicled. The Kochs are our homegrown oligarchs; they've cornered the market on Republican politics and are nakedly attempting to buy Congress and the White House. Their political network helped finance the Tea Party and powers today's GOP. Koch-affiliated organizations raised some $400 million during the 2012 election, and aim to spend another $290 million to elect Republicans in this year's midterms. So far in this cycle, Koch-backed entities have bought 44,000 political ads to boost Republican efforts to take back the Senate.
But Koch Industries is not entirely opaque. The company's troubled legal history – including a trail of congressional investigations, Department of Justice consent decrees, civil lawsuits and felony convictions – augmented by internal company documents, leaked State Department cables, Freedom of Information disclosures and company whistle-blowers, combine to cast an unwelcome spotlight on the toxic empire whose profits finance the modern GOP.
9/ Another TwisterNederland fail collection, our guy video of the week, and this one is less nasty than usual in that fewer people end up in the hospital, but there's still plenty of chaos and mayhem......12 minutes of pain for all you lads......
10/ Needless to say after the Rolling Stone story was published, the Koch industry lawyers were on it and fired off a response to Tim Dickinson who to his credit was not intimidated, and responds to their allegations......if only more people and institutions had Rolling Stone's balls......
Koch Industries has written a lengthy response to our feature story on the company in the latest issue of Rolling Stone. In tweets the company apparently paid to promote, Koch bills this write-up as a "point-by-point response to Rolling Stone writer Tim Dickinson's dishonest and misleading story." The salient feature of Koch's response is that the company does not argue the core facts of our 9,000-word expose. Instead, Koch targets the messenger. Koch's top target here is not even Rolling Stone, but me, Tim Dickinson.
I find it, frankly, amusing that a company that has been convicted of six felonies and numerous misdemeanors; paid out tens of millions of dollars in fines; traded with Iran, and been so reckless in its business practices that two innocent teenagers ended up dead, attempts to impugn my integrity, and on the basis of my association with Mother Jones — where I worked as an editor in the late 1990s and early 2000s, on a team that was twice nominated and once awarded a National Magazine Award for General Excellence.
Koch, in particular, takes umbrage with my reporting practices.
11/ Thomas Frank with another excellent article, this one on our colleges and universities, and how they have become as corrupt as the rest of American business.....he is passionate about this because the schools are predators, selling a dream to vulnerable kids, hungry for a decent future but ending up indebted and disillusioned......
College is ripping you off: Students are cash cows, and schools the predators
Higher ed is sold as the key to an affluent life. It's really a big business designed to leave you buried in debt

This essay starts with utopia—the utopia known as the American university. It is the finest educational institution in the world, everyone tells us. Indeed, to judge by the praise that is heaped upon it, the American university may be our best institution, period. With its peaceful quadrangles and prosperity-bringing innovation, the university is more spiritually satisfying than the church, more nurturing than the family, more productive than any industry.
The university deals in dreams. Like other utopias—like Walt Disney World, like the ambrosial lands shown in perfume advertisements, like the competitive Valhalla of the Olympics—the university is a place of wish fulfillment and infinite possibility. It is the four-year luxury cruise that will transport us gently across the gulf of class. It is the wrought-iron gateway to the land of lifelong affluence.
It is not the university itself that tells us these things; everyone does. It is the president of the United States. It is our most respected political commentators and economists. It is our business heroes and our sports heroes. It is our favorite teacher and our guidance counselor and maybe even our own Tiger Mom. They’ve been to the university, after all. They know.....
12/ Kings of Leon with 'Sentimental Girls"......a classic southern rock band, with a very good song played [I think] live....the video is shot in sepia, with a 50's backdrop and some sexy scenes for light relief......ooooohhhh, bubble gum!
Like it's shot through Instagram's "Nashville" filter, the visual for the Followill clan's 'Mechanical Bull' single celebrates blue jeans Americana and the "sentimental girls" who embody it - See more at: http://www.fuse.tv/videos/
13/ I have of course heard about the Common Core standards for schools, but haven't given it much thought other than to note that the Tea Party is against it, so it must be a good idea - right?
Turns out it's not as straightforward as we thought.....and the suspicion is the testing industry corporations are the beneficiaries of this program, not our youth.......
Read on........
Arne Duncan, Bill Gates (Credit: AP/Jacquelyn Martin/Mary Altaffer)
If you thought the Obamacare rollout was bad, the adoption of national education standards, known as Common Core, makes it look like another flawless iPhone launch. Led by the National Governor’s Association and Council of Chief State School Officers, the initiative to create national benchmarks in reading and math emerged from the “standards and accountability” movement of the 1990s.
But since they were released in 2010, Common Core has faced mounting opposition — and it’s coming from the left as well as the right.
“There’s been a convergence on the left and right on Common Core,” says Pedro Noguera, an education professor at New York University. “A lot of the right-wing opposition is about Obama. … On the left, it’s about standardized testing and how high-stakes tests are going to be used to hold schools accountable.”
The idea behind Common Core is straightforward. Unlike nearly every other developed nation, the United States has set no standards outlining what American students should know by the time they graduate high school. For many states, that has meant setting the bar low and patting themselves on the back about how brilliant their students are. But it turned out many kids, particularly poor and minority students, were unprepared for college. The Common Core standards were meant to make sure kids in, say, Mississippi and New York all had the same basic level of competence in reading and math.
But the implementation has been a disaster.
14/ A fascinating story, commenting on an article someone in their 50's wrote which said "I hope I die when I'm 75".
The author, Ann Brenoff, discusses something we are all going to face - dying. If you get terminally ill and are sucked into the medical system, your choices of how to die are taken away from you, so this is a good story to read because we all need to think about this.....
If you prefer "death by hospital", kept alive on machines as long as you are profitable, then skip it......
As I approach my 65th birthday -- January 25 for those wishing to send a card or Medicare application -- I find myself compulsively reading about aging. And just so you know, I'm one of those people who is aging but not getting "old" -- if you get my drift. I work hard, I play harder; I look and feel much younger than my years. And yet I am very much aware of the fact that that won't always be the case and so I like to read about what the next couple of decades might hold for me.
Which is why Ezekiel J. Emanuel's story in The Atlantic headlined "Why I Hope to Die at 75" was such an eye-opener: I have never thought of dying as something I had a say in.
Yes, I own my life. But I have long believed that our deaths belonged to the doctors. Emanuel makes the case that by age 75, we have accomplished most of what we are going to accomplish in our lives and that frankly, it's pretty much all downhill from there. Rather than become a burden to his children or loved ones, and certainly rather than bear witness to his own slow and possibly painful decline, he wrote that at age 75 he no longer plans to see doctors, have medical screenings or take medication for what ails him. He is prepared to let what will be, simply be.
15/ One of the saddest effects of climate change is that it will devastate the worlds poorest countries, who don't have the resourses to even begin to protect themselves like the Western [mostly Northern hemisphere] nations will. So for the UN climate conference last month they asked a young person to present a case for change, and this young lady from the Marshall Islands read a poem to her daughter......
A moving, powerful and incredible six minutes......
Out of more than 500 candidates, Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner was selected to present to the United Nations on Sept. 23, 2014. She *totally* nailed it with this powerful performance
16/ One of the best analyses I have yet seen of why any action to prevent climate change cannot penetrate the conservative bubble......a real world look at the issue, with no false optimism at the end of the article like a lot of climate change stories. This writer calls it like it is......
No, you actually haven’t found a way to reach conservatives on climate change
The polarized state of U.S. politics is an ongoing obsession of mine, particularly the state of the conservative movement and its implications for the climate change fight. Long story short, I argue that the contemporary U.S. right is too far gone to reach on climate change.
A few posts on the subject:
- The right’s climate denialism is part of something much larger
- Conservative hostility to science predates climate science
- Can climate science be rendered conservative-friendly?
- On climate, how far gone is the far right? (Spoiler: far)
- Polarization in America is here to stay. What now?
- Why the (awesome) climate march won’t change American politics
A couple of pieces have appeared on other sites recently that push back against my conclusion. They provide a good opportunity to clarify and reinforce a few things.
Over at Science of Us, Jesse Singal writes about new psychological research on how to appeal to conservatives on climate change. And on Huffington Post, Bill Becker — head of the Presidential Climate Action Project — argues that it’s still possible to find common ground on the issue.
Lab v. world
Singal says that reaching conservatives “has more to do with psychology than politics.” And Becker turns to poll results to bolster his case. In both cases, I am skeptical.
How much do polls and message testing tell us about people’s behavior in real-world politics? Over the years, my answer on this has drifted fromlots to little to almost nothing. In fact, over-interpreted results from polling and message testing can mislead us about politics.
17/ You may have read how FSU students have been protesting the appointment of John Thrasher, formerly a State Senator, as President of Florida State. Here's why the students don't want this worn out right wing political hack leading their college.......
From the Miami New Times.......
John Thrasher, Rick Scott's Campaign Chair, Picked as FSU's Next President: Here's Why People Are Angry

Yesterday the Florida State University Board of Trustees voted 11-2 to appoint Thrasher as the 15th president of the school. Once the state university system's board of governors approves the choice (generally seen as a formality), the 70-year-old Thrasher will resign from the senate and Scott's campaign to take over the president's office.
Supporters see him as a proven leader whose connections to Florida power will help the school raise the money that will return it to academic prominence.
Others see Thrasher as a Republican good ol' boy who is trading in his connections for a cushy job for which he has no experience.
Here's a quick rundown of why FSU is catching so much flack over the choice:
He's Not Qualified for the Job
It's difficult to separate the political from the practical in the debate, but perhaps the least political of objections is that Thrasher has no experience in higher-education administration whatsoever. He's a career politician taking a plum job normally reserved for career academics. True, Thrasher had served on FSU's Board of Trustees, but members are usually community, business, political, and alumni leaders who meet a few times a year and have little to do with the day-to-day running of the school.

Todays Duggars joke
Judy married Ted; they had 13 children. Ted died.
She married again, and she and Bob had 7 more children.
Bob was killed in a car accident 12 years later.
Judy married again, and this time, she and John had 5 children.
Judy finally died, after having 25 children.
Standing before her coffin, the preacher prayed for her.
He thanked the Lord for this very loving woman and said, "Lord, they
are finally together."
Ethel leaned over and quietly asked her best friend Margaret,
"Do you think he means her first, second, or third husband?"
Margaret replied, “I think he means her legs, Ethel!"

Todays police joke [and pretty true]
How do you tell the difference between an English Police Officer, a Canadian Police Officer, an American Police Officerand an Irish Garda
QUESTION: You're on duty by yourself (don't ask why, you just are, and your Sergeant hates you) walking on a deserted street late at night.
Suddenly, an armed man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife and lunges at you.
You are carrying your truncheon and are an expert in using it. However, you have only a split second to react before he reaches you. What do you do ?
ANSWER:
British Police Officer:
Firstly, the Officer must consider the man's human rights.
1) Does the man look poor or oppressed ?
2) Is he newly arrived in this country and does not yet understand the law ?
3) Is this really a knife or a ceremonial dagger ?
4) Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack ?
5) Am I dressed provocatively ?
6) Could I run away ?
7) Could I possibly swing my truncheon and knock the knife out of his hand ?
8) Should I try and negotiate with him to discuss his wrong-doings ?
9) Why am I carrying a truncheon anyway and what kind of message does this send to society ?
10) Does he definitely want to kill me or would he be content just to wound me ?
11) If I were to grab his knees and hold on, would he still want to stab and kill me ?
12) If I raise my truncheon and he turns and runs away, do I get blamed if he falls over, knocks his head and kills himself ?
13) If I hurt him and lose the subsequent court case, does he have the opportunity to sue me, cost me my job, my credibility and the loss of my family home ?
Canadian Police Officer:
BANG !
BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG !
'Click'...Reload...
BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG ! BANG !
Irish Garda:
" Jimmie.. Drop the knife, unless you want it stuck up yer arse!"
