Overnight open thread – “It Feeds on Fear” (genghis)
— Open Blog

(One free month’s membership to AoSHQ to the first person who can accurately answer which band sampled that statement on one of their tracks.)

Item #1: Now that we’ve arrived on The New Frontier, Part Two, we’ll probably all need to get a job or something. We can’t just sit around gazing at the Skittle-hued sunsets every night. In the meantime, Popular Mechanics has conjured up a list of Future-Proof Jobs. With any luck, by next year, the HQ will be able to provide online courses in all of these fields, so now would be a good time to start considering which one you’re best suited for.

Seems they left out one obvious profession that’s always future and recession-proof. It’s been around for awhile. In fact, some might say it’s actually the oldest profession. Dean O’-Spades has mentioned that we may offer an Associate degree in that field on something like a “work-study” basis.

Item #2: Got kids? Or more to the point, got lazy sacks o’ shit kids who can’t be bothered to do their homework? Gizmodo may have the perfect solution for you: The Study Ball. It’s a 20 pound ball, chain and shackle with a timer that can be set for up to four hours before it unlocks. Should provide just the right amount of motivation to get Junior to finish off his algebra homework before he’s off to play with the Xbox and/or call Child Protective Services. If that’s insufficient, you’ll be pleased to know that the company who makes this item, Curiosite, is also working on development of the Study Iron Maiden and the Study Rack.

Item #3: And we wrap up with a story from Scandi-land. From ABC (Australia) comes the grim tale of a hapless driver (they still have cars there?) who was fined $143,000 for driving drunk over the distance of 400 meters. Why such a hefty fine you ask?

”Due to the man's wealth, the court in the southern Norwegian county of Aust-Agder handed down a heavier-than-usual sentence, which would normally be equivalent to a month-and-a-half's gross salary for the accused. “The principle of proportionality implies that we should take into account the entire wealth of the person in cases where the defendant is more well off than most other people," a court spokesman said. The 49-year-old man is the heir of a rich shipping family. His wealth totalled 228 million kroner ($46 million) in 2008, when he had a gross annual income of around 752,000 kroner.”

Eh, why not…serves the bastard right for daring to actually have money. However, I’m going to actually shock most of you and say that there is an argument to be made there, though I’m not totally convinced. In the case of a felony or whatnot where we’re looking at some prison time, then the punishment should be exactly the same across social strata. With a monetary penalty though, it does affect people differently. A fine of, say, $5k is going to have a vastly larger effect on someone who makes $25k than on someone who makes $500k a year. I know, I know, there’s a lot of shitty Iceback ideology and money grabbery behind the whole thing. Argue it out in the thread.

Tonight’s overnight thread is sponsored by The Blue Ringed Octopus.

Hindu ceremonial headgear or Cthuhlu precursor? You decide. Either way, this golf ball-sized little bundle of cuddliness is also considered one of the world’s most venomous animals, ranked just behind Hillary! Clinton. It’s venom is toxic enough to kill humans and currently there is no known antidote. Several specimens are currently being analyzed at the Company’s bioweapons division labs.

Obama warns Israel not to bomb Iran. He loves HIS people doesn't he?

U.S. President Barack Obama has sent a message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanding that Israel not surprise the U.S. with an Israeli military operation against Iran.

U.S. President Barack Obama has sent a message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanding that Israel not surprise the U.S. with an Israeli military operation against Iran.

I want to point out that once again, Obama demonstrates that he is against anything positive for our nation and for Western Civilization.  Any decision he makes will be guaranteed to be the WORST thing for our country.

He is not incompetent.  He is evil.

21 Alice Cooper weighs in:

Most of the crowd of 70,000 –- few of whom were alive when Cooper first played the song in 1972 –- rose to their feet as he wailed the anthem’s final lyric -– “School’s been blown to pieces.”

What songs would the Phoenix native recommend for Obama, who delivers the commencement address at ASU.

“Elected,” “No More Mr. Nice Guy” and -– wait for it -– “Welcome to my Nightmare.”

Asked how President Obama is doing, Cooper said, “I think he’s doing a great job. He’s a rock star. You go to Europe and he’s a rock star.”

Obama’s 60-Day Chrysler Bankruptcy Goal Covers Only Asset Sale

May 13 (Bloomberg) -- Chrysler LLC’s bankruptcy might take years, not the 60 days President Obama's administration has given as a target.

The two-month completion schedule suggested by the administration the day the carmaker filed for bankruptcy protection applies only to a sale of Chrysler’s best assets to a new entity to be managed by Italy’s Fiat SpA.  After the sale, creditors would still fight over unwanted factories and other assets to recover their money, bankruptcy lawyers said.

Ok, that was a pretty obscure reference so I'll narrow it down some. It was sampled by an industrial group based in Vancouver, BC on one of their CDs in the late '80's. I believe thay had some collaborative efforts with Ministry at the time and possibly even went on a joint tour with them. I don't know the source of the sample, but am guessing it's from a somewhat obscure B-level horror movie as they usually liked to include.

72 AP growing slight balls re Obama's false claims about the success of the stimulus.  Notice there is no highlighting of Obama's bald faced lie about 150K jobs already saved/created - instead it's all Biden.  Anything to spin to save the One.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In his first quarterly report on the nation's stimulus package, Vice President Joe Biden uses anecdotes to paint a glowing picture of an economy on the rebound. In reality, the picture is incomplete and the colors far more muted.

It is not disputed that Washington is spending historic amounts of money at a rate far faster than normal. Workers are getting tax breaks, Washington is picking up a greater share of state Medicaid costs and road construction projects are beginning.

Even Recovery.gov, the Web site that has yet to live up to its billing as a one-stop way to track every penny, offers more information than typical government programs, and faster.

But the effect of that spending is less clear. Many of the claims the White House is making are based on anecdotes selected to fit the Obama administration's message. For instance, the report cites a newspaper article about workers being rehired at a factory in Chicago. That account is true, but is no more an accurate snapshot of the nation's economy than a story, not cited in the report, about a Roanoke, Va., railcar factory closing.

Capturing the full effect of the stimulus at this early stage is difficult, but the administration has set high bars for success. In championing those successes, however, the White House plays a little loose with the facts.

Well, for a Sulu-octopus tie-in, "Males will attempt copulation with members of their own species regardless of sex or size, however interactions between males are most often shorter in duration and end with the mounting octopus withdrawing the hectocotylus without packet insertion or struggle." [Also applicable to Fwank and Sulli.]

137 dudes, obama just told everyone who tries to make money to support themselves and their families they are douchebags:

TEMPE, Ariz. – President Obama used his first commencement speech since taking office to implore the graduates of Arizona State University to resist the temptations of materialism and status and instead choose a life of service and commitment to help rebuild the country.

Citing the “greed and irresponsibility” exhibited by some of America’s leaders in recent years, he spoke in sober terms about the new direction that graduates and the country must now take.

“It is clear that we need to build a new foundation – a stronger foundation – for our economy and our prosperity, rethinking how we educate our children, and care for our sick, and treat our environment,” Obama told about nine-thousand graduates clad in maroon gowns on the school’s football field and thousands more in the stands of Sun Devil Stadium.

To urge graduates away from a life of mere financial gain – what he called a “me-first approach to life” — he made the case that material success alone “can’t be the central thing.”

“Just ask Bernie Madoff,” he said.

145 a little more from AP on the "150K jobs saved/created" lie from Obama.  The bottom part sounds a lot like Ace re the media not telling Americans that either higher taxes or higher interest rates on borrowing are coming because of the increased spending.  I wonder if Ace et al had an impact?

THE WHITE HOUSE SAID: The stimulus has created or saved 150,000 jobs.

THE FACTS: Since February, the nation has lost more than 1.3 million jobs, according to the Department of Labor. To make the case that the country created jobs over that same stretch, the White House has put forward a benchmark of jobs created "or saved." The argument is that the job numbers would have been even worse had it not been for the stimulus, and the difference between those numbers is a net positive.

To visualize that disconnect, consider this: The administration has promised to create or save 600,000 more jobs in the next 100 days. Even if the nation loses another 5 million jobs during that span (a highly unlikely prospect) the White House could still claim success.

There are few hard numbers when it comes to tracking stimulus jobs. The Obama administration numbers are based on estimates by the White House Council of Economic Advisers, based largely on a formula Obama's transition team put forward. It estimates the effect of tax breaks, government spending and social programs on job growth.

Spending money will put people to work. But spending has a cost. At some point, Washington will have to pay for this program, either by raising taxes or interest rates, and those policies typically hurt job growth. The Obama administration's job data do not take into consideration this back-end cost, an omission some economists, particularly conservative economists, say is a flaw in the analysis.

Establish a commission of experts. Translation: Whip it out and wank it. Hey, FT and Mr. Walker... I have news for you. Guarantees of healthcare for citizens demands, of necessity, enormous spending increases. We haven't the tax base to pay for it. Period. Walker wants a commission to recommend budget controls? Translation: Ration medicine. He wants "fiscal reform?" Translation: Senatorial circle jerks followed by increased spending. Entitlement program reforms? Ditto.

171 You guys should take the AOL hot seat polls.  A lot of questions from your friend, Andrew Sullivan and others.   Interesting how the country is for torture so far and for bristol palin.   I don't know how to link the polls you just have to go to aol and search for them.

172 George,

I sort of feel it is important to read what a lot of people are reading, it may be wrong in thinking but a lot of people are quite guillable these days.

Katya, some of these weather systems lately have bordered on bizarre.  Especially the ones generating tornadoes and seeming to just sit over an area in an oval pattern.  Makes you worry about people in the areas affected.

174 Muffy, so far the Waterloo area has been pretty mild.  At our previous residence, about 90 miles west, we seemed to be in a weather bubble.  All the bad stuff went over or around us.  Waterloo seems to be a weather magnet.

175 #173 Absolutely, muffy. I'm just amazed at the obtuseness of the paid and published pundocrat class. Apart from a handful of "right-wing haters," has anyone seen one of our elites or even a mainstreamish bloviator speak the simple truth... that you, Joe Citizen, can't have everything? That you can't expect your (insert favorite indispensable need) to be guaranteed by your gubmint and neighbors? Has any of our mainstream pundits or news analysts or comedians or academics said, baldly and uniequivocally, that Santa Claus doesn't exist? Because that is the inescapable position we have created, after decades of suspending disbelief. This nation is the last locomotive left pulling the train that feeds the world. It can bear a lot, but not an infinite weight. You can demand housing and aspirin and band-aids and bread and circuses for Teh People, but there is a very real chance that the demands will outweigh the ability to produce. In case it eludes the perspicacity of our betters, there may come a time when the people producing bread will be far outnumbered by the mouths of those who will not. Sometimes it's dangerous to promise what you cannot deliver. Madness.

178 George,

what worries me is that I think they have no idea what they don't know.  They think if you are cocky and pushy and appear like you know what you are doing that people won't see through that.  i love this country, it is concerning.

180 #179 True, and there is this... Unicorn McGuiltwhite and his slavish hordes literally, explicitly do not care if they drive the national economy into the dirt, much less the world economy. Obastard made this clear in the campaign. He is about "fairness," not prosperity. Not freedom, not liberty, not health, wealth or progeny. He, along with his commissariat, want to see humanity reduced to a cut lawn. All equal, all green, all growing... to no more than the prescribed one inch of height. The political class in power, along with the favored rump of old prosperity, will be the mighty oaks towering over the anonymity of a humanity trimmed and hedged into servile docility. If you're a Kennedy or a Clooney or a Geffen or a Buffett, you'll be like a Persian satrap of old. Otherwise, get used to the taste of dirt.

@169: I use that stuff in my uh....jerk sauce (Jamaican, that is).  Powerful.  My roommate in grad school broke a bottle of it on our counter, and it etched the surface before she could clean it up.

It also totally fucked up on of the writers over at RedState, who was also a roommate in grad school.  One bite of the stuff full strength and he was in the bathroom with his head under the faucet for a good hour.

Fun times.

Off tonight's topic, but what do moron's think about HR 1913, the new hate crime bill passed by the House in April?  'They say' it's likely to get by the Senate, too, which will add all this hate crime stuff to the federal code.

This thing seems unbelievable -- federal prosecutors can 'perceive' that someone who causes bodily injury to another had it in for some 'protected' group and add on a hate crime charge -- up to ten years if no death is involved. How does a prosecutor 'perceive' something like that? Anyway they want, or what?

And the double jeopardy thing -- federal prosecutors, if they don't like a local court decision/penalty, can re-try the case to get a stiffer penalty. Geez, are we really gonna pass this one? Surely the Supreme Court would strike it down. Wouldn't it?

Teh CNN just played a story about the Pope's visit to the Holy Land.  Tellingly of their attitudes, the lead in to the story was not what he had to say about his advocacy for peace (not that I entirely agree with him, but it's a sincere message); it was an excerpt from Jon Liebowitz's show making him out to be a fop. 

They are complete adolescents.  And not the cute kind.  The cousin Oliver kind.

Fuck Liebowitz. I'm so tired of that smug asshole. He's not worthy to carry the Pope's jockstrap. If you compared Pope Benedict's intellect to Liebowitz's, it would be like one of those Hollywood searchlights next to a half-dead firefly.
