Poirot


From Sherlock to Poirot


“



After I mentioned my addiction to Sherlock Holmes, I started to (mini) panic.  I was down to the last 10 episodes, and required a back-up series, stat! After trying several  "Like Sherlock Holmes" recommendations, I found Agatha Christie's Poirot.  Never read a Poirot book, nor watched any of the Masterpiece Theater (PBS) episodes.  Horry Clap!  If anything, I like these better  than Sherlock;  and I love Sherlock.  But now I'm down to the last 5 of these on NetFlix (who offer only season one from 1989).  HA! Amazon Instant Watch has them all! (and a ROKU connection)  The first time Amazon has anything I can't get on NetFlix.  I can now Poirot myself to death.

In his new book on President Obama's economic policies (co-authored with Grover Norquist), economist John Lott discusses his interactions with then-future President Obama at the University of Chicago. He doesn't paint a pretty picture. TheDC's Jamie Weinstein reports:

"Economist John Lott, noted for his academic advocacy of gun rights, says that when Barack Obama was his colleague at the University of Chicago, the future president treated him as if he were 'evil.' 'He wouldn’t shake hands. It was very clear that Obama disagreed on the gun issue and acted as if he believed that people who he disagreed with were not just wrong, but evil. Unlike other liberal academics who usually enjoyed discussing opposing ideas, Obama simply showed disdain.'" [Full]

It's a round world





Who's stupid? Whose Racist?

Racial Politics
The Talk: Nonblack Version


“

Res Ipsa Loquitur
.John Derbyshire, who wrote for the National Review, penned a column that criticized blacks and accused them of being dangerous generally. It also advised readers to stay away from (some) blacks. (National Review)
 
There is much talk about “the talk.”

“Sean O’Reilly was 16 when his mother gave him the talk that most black parents give their teenage sons,”
Denisa R. Superville of the Hackensack (NJ) Record tells us. Meanwhile, down in Atlanta: “Her sons were 12 and 8 when Marlyn Tillman realized it was time for her to have the talk,” Gracie Bonds Staples writes in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Leonard Greene  talks about the talk in the New York Post. Someone bylined as KJ Dell’Antonia talks about the talk in The New York Times. Darryl Owens talks about the talk in the Orlando Sentinel.

Yes, talk about the talk is all over. [...]



I'll leave it to you to agree, or not, on the points Derbyshire  made to his kids.  We never had any "talk" with our own kids'   Most parenting, I think, is by "conveyance."  Kids watch how parents react in certain situations.  Our kids certainly sensed when the wife and me were uneasy, and sensed danger. Lion cubs do that too.  What really doomed Derbyshire though,  was the same thing that doomed Charles Murray for writing The Bell Curve,  or Nobel Prize Winner and DNA pioneer Dr.  James Watson, for their findings about genetics and intelligence.

“ .(11) The mean intelligence of blacks is much lower than for whites. The least intelligent ten percent of whites have IQs below 81; forty percent of blacks have IQs that low. Only one black in six is more intelligent than the average white; five whites out of six are more intelligent than the average black. These differences show in every test of general cognitive ability that anyone, of any race or nationality, has yet been able to devise. They are reflected in countless everyday situations. “Life is an IQ test.” [Derbyshire]
”

We were at a dear friend's home, very, very Liberal friends,  for a family affair once.  I found myself introducing the subject of the Bell Curve.  Nobody in the room knew what the hell I was talking about, so I explained that Charles Murray found evidence that the Negro race were, on the whole, less intelligent than other races.  Holy crap!  The words  "you racist asshole" went bouncing off  every wall.  One of the sons, then a Peace Corp worker, and normally very mild mannered,  was particularly agitated  (did I say we were all drinking?). Race has nothing to do with intelligence levels!  he demanded.  I asked— wait, weren't we just just talking about how Blacks, by virtue of unusual tendon and muscle genetics (or some-such) were vastly superior in sports?  Especially where speed and jumping ability are involved?  Hmmmm?  Would you be upset if I commented on the vaunted large genetically endowed Black penis (not supported in my years of taking showers in gyms and barracks, btw)?  How come genetics can be discussed in good humor if they indicate superiority, but not  shortfall?"  I was literally asked to leave their home.  Who was being the racist  here?

By the by, when Murray died, his wife said she was flooded with calls from his erstwhile associates.  They, who had  abandoned him when he came under Liberal attack,    apologizing for their cowardice., and agreeing Murray's work followed sound scientific discipline and norms.  Rich Lowry  (who fired Derbyshire) may be calling Mrs. Derbyshire with his mea culpas one day.

What this is really all about,  is that since Obama has been on the national scene, race relations are worse than they have been at any time in our history. They are toxic!  And it is not any accident.

I don't think he ever rode the AGW bandwagon either, which makes him smartest.

The Livermore Light Bulb



“

Res Ipsa Loquitur

The world's oldest light bulb has been burning for 111 years - so little wonder it has a fan club with thousands of members and its own website. The so-called 'Centennial Light' has been on almost constantly since 1901. It holds pride of place in Fire Station 6, in Livermore, northern California.

The longest time the Guinness World Record-holding bulb has ever been turned off for is just a week. Dangling above the fire engines, people come for hundreds and thousands of miles to see the diminutive symbol. The bulb was designed by Adolphe Chailet, who competed with the likes of the world-famous Thomas Edison to make the best bulb. [site]


I saw this on ACE a few weeks ago,  and it lit a light bulb.  And then, another one.

I have mentioned before that when I was a lad in Chicago you took your burned out light bulbs to Commonwealth Edison and got  free replacements. Years later I asked my dad about that during a reminiscence.  His explanation—  and he was never wrong about anything in his entire life, was that Com Edison's bulbs were made with extra heavy filaments, which served two purposes.  They seldom burned out, and they used twice as much electricity as bulbs we use today.  And  Com Edison was selling the juice. The free Gillette razor, you buy the blades gambit.  Looking up that reference led me to The Light Bulb Conspiracy – The Untold Story of Planned Obsolescence, which I haven't read, nor watched, but it looks like that other bulb I mentioned.

The Answer is John R. Bolton

Coulter vs. Malkin: Female conservatives clash over Palin
NO
While I've  noticed some leftward drift from Ann Coulter, I will for now side with the argument that Michelle Malkin (whom I also love) is making a bit much her statement "that the eventual Republican candidate shouldn’t pick “a novelty candidate” as their vice presidential nominee because it “would ring too much like Sarah Palin.”  In fact, and without knowing about this kerfluffle, I had exactly the same thought when I saw that Romney had South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley on his "short list."  It would be exactly what some (ahem) would expect from Romney,  whose campaign ideology seems to be one of meeting perceived  expectations of a group he really doesn't understand.  Conservatives. The answer, Mitt, is John R. Bolton.

The most interesting recent political phenomenon, after the Teaparty, was the emergence of the PUMA (Party Unity My Ass) movement in 2008.  These were hard (HARD) core Hillary supporters; stunned by what they (accurately) believed was the Democrat Party's betrayal of their goddess Hillary.  When the SIEU pulled off a massive voter fraud to give Obama a critical western primary win in Nevada, they flipped.

From my vantage point, everything they railed about were the very things we put up with the Clinton's Democrat Party.  Illegal fundraising; vote fraud; baldfaced lies, etc.  Still, I welcomed them, their fervor, and their knowledge of how the left operates.  I believed there were enough of them to deny Obama's election in November, alas.

My favorite of the PUMA blogger was Texas Darlin' (TD Blog).  When she and her blog archives disappeared after the election, I entertained the thought  that her efforts against Obama had allowed her to also see how filthy the Democrat Party, and by extension the Clintons, had always been, which epiphany caused her to commit ritual Seppukblog.  Too bad.  She was sharp as a tack.

So I wrote on Tuesday,  November 02, 2010.  When I say disappeared, I mean bulldozer-leveled. Her archives, containing some of the best insights, documents and sleuthing went up in smoke. Not even  Google cache could produce an archived word.  Very strange.  Here today, erased from history in a heartbeat.  That light bulb lit last night when I read this:

“ .Michele Thomas, a professional photographer in Hollywood, told WND in an exclusive interview that her resistance to the Obama campaign made her a target of intimidation.

“I have received death threats from Obama’s people,” she said. “I think I was called a ‘racist’ a thousand times. If you didn’t stand for Obama, you were a racist. It was a way to intimidate you.”

[...]

Res Ipsa Loquitur
Thomas’ charges were affirmed by a Hollywood producer who spoke to WND, Bettina Viviano, who claims that it was a common belief inside Hillary Clinton’s campaign that Obama was not eligible to be president and that she heard Bill Clinton say it in a telephone conference call.

[...]

What she witnessed while volunteering for Hillary in the Nevada Democratic Party caucuses eventually turned her into an activist.

“The Obama campaign people were stealing the caucuses – throwing away votes, intimidating people from entering the caucus locations,” she said. “It was very systematic. The Obama supporters got control over the caucus packages and they manipulated the vote.”

She said she was astounded that the media was not interested in covering the alleged abuses.

“Everyone knew the Obama people were stealing the election,” she charged.  .... [Horror stories]
”

Now, I have more than once had my own finger on a Kevorkian style Blogicide button, so that could explain TD's action.  Just fed up with the whole deal.  She did, evidently, make a brief reappearance, so I don't make too much of it, at least in the context of Obamunist thuggery charges.  We know with certainty that threats and intimidation are his style. We knew at the time that SEIU engineered his crucial Nevada primary win over Hillary in 2008.  We know that SEIU have emerged as his "Brown Shirts."

(Pop-up thought - Hitler had his ancestral home leveled after taking power.  Destroying all traces of his ancestry)

Imagine for a minute that your phone rang, and you were threatened ... your family threatened?  That's how easy it is to silence a nation when nobody dares, or wants to put a stop to it. 


Disclaimer:  I believe Obama is a very bad man.  I think he's worse than Hitler,  who at least loved the country  he ruled over.

Seeds and Hammer times



Not all nostalgia is happy nostalgia


“
I used to maintain a blog called "Seeds and Hammers*."  It was during a time when this blogspot (C&S) was under attack, and meant to be a parallel blog escape hatch when I was shut down.   Linda SOG did the programming (I sent her a check for $20,000 but she never cashed it), and I was off and running.  Like most of my projects, I soon tired of it. Anyway—  Juice just e-mailed me.  In her  search for my famous rub recipe (which I reposted in comments here), she came across this bit of Juice nostalgia.  Just below that  is a post titled—

They're Smug, Smarmy, and Everywhere
And people will hate them

What recommends this  (evidently the spell checker had not been inveneed yet) post to you is the inclusion of the audio from a caller to Rush

“ This program caller to Rush yesterday is another on my list of reasons Democrats will alienate most of America this year (2008-ahem) ,  causing Democrats  biggest political defeat since 1980.  Listen to yesterday's call from "Robert from New Jersey."  You will almost certainly find yourself associating Robert with someone in your life; these supercilious asses are that abundant.  USA-UAS-USA!  ”

So much for my prognostications. However, two posts down from this (By Their Turds Ye Shall Know Them) I address some reasons for my miscalculation. 


* To accommodate the new blog I purchased a new Domain.  I was actually startled when my request for USA USA USA was accepted.  Later I discovered why.  I had inadvertently requested USA-UAS-USA.  The source of much derision and jokery, mostly from the SondraKs.

Coke caves in face of Democratic boycott threat



“

Res Ipsa Loquitur

Democratic officials Wednesday launched a two-pronged attack on states with new laws requiring identification before voting, the highlight being a call to boycott Coke, Walmart and others that back a leading organization pushing for voter ID laws.

Coke was quick to react to the political boycott threat, pulling support from the targeted group just five hours after it was called. [You can't handle the truth; Democrats live by voter fraud]


I lost my will to Blog  after seeing this story yesterday. I watched 5 Sherlocks in a row.  Yes,  I do have a guy in my chariot who whispers in my ear "do not rise above your natural limit of cockiness.  Remember, you once had a boner for Jane Fonda," but still. How can I not feel superior in every way to anyone (anyone!) who votes for democrats?  Because, either they are so recklessly tuned out of hearing anything that screams "The Democrat Party is and evil entity;" or they don't care.  So. I am the better person. Yet, I have to live under the rule of these noxious people. Does this make me a bad person?  And fuck Coke.
