Skip to comments.There IS a link between genius and madness - but we don't know why we evolved this 'gift'
Posted on 06/04/2012 6:33:40 AM PDT by C19fan
There IS a link between creative genius and madness - with both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder frequent in highly creative and intelligent people. The idea was investigated by a panel of scientists who had all suffered some form of mental disorder. Kay Redfield Jamison of John Hopkins school of Medicine, who suffers from bipolar disorder, said that intelligence tests on Swedish 16-year-olds had shown that highly intelligent children were most likely to go on to develop the disorder.

I call Bullsh!t.
It was a bunch of intellectual liberals who did the study.
Sorry, I don't get it. Sounds like a reasonable idea. Smarter kids are more prone to psychological issues. What are you calling BS on?
Nikola Tesla was probably the greatest inventor the world has ever known and completely nuts. I suppose you could consider Howard Hughes to be a genius as well.
I'd like to see a study on the link between intelligence and aspergers, which is now said NOT to be linked to autism
(Autism has language issues and aspergers does not)
John Nash is another example of a nutty genius.
Anything your biology does it does at the cost of what else it could be doing.
Genes that could contribute to high intelligence could also contribute to mental insanity, autism, or any number of other negative things.
If there was no "cost" to a gene that unambiguously made people more intelligent - it would rapidly reach 100% penetrance in human populations.
As it is generally assumed that there is an unequal distribution of intelligence genes in human populations - it seems obvious that higher intelligence comes at a cost that would counteract the tendency for such a gene to reach 100% penetrance in human populations.
Certainly not all highly intelligent people are crazy, but it may be higher concentration there.
Einstein wasn't crazy. Edison was a jerk, but not crazy. Da Vinci was mentally sound.... So was Newton, Hawkings, Bohr, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Mozart...
I would think art/creative people would be most prone to issues. Some of the issues may be the cause for being interpreted as being so creative, due to their very different way of thinking.
Why haven't murderers reached 100% penetrance of the human population?
Most people who are not genius do consider highly intelligent individuals to be strange, insane, or a little weird.
Very smart people tend to be different and very independent. They do not fall into a cookie cutter idea of a normal person. That's not a bad thing but it does color the view of the average Joe.
Do you think there is a "murder" gene? Or genes that make people prone to violence?
As far as being prone to violence I would say there is no human population that hasn't demonstrated this tendency.
Some have, historically, been better at it than others; but the tendency to violence, and organized violence - is a human universal.
Do you think people who kill people against the laws and customs of their people tended to have higher or lower reproductive success? Usually the penalty for such is death, exile, or imprisonment - all three which tend to curtail reproductive activity.
Leave Obama alone. He's halfway to being an idiot savant.
Uuum no.. these people who are genius are many times suffering mental illness. John Nash (A Beautiful Mind) among other other posters have mentioned.
Science is now showing people who have murdered people or have very violent outburst tend to not have a certain part of the brain working that produces a chemicals inhibiting such violence as normal people have.
Not letting these people off the hook..they should be in jail but one day medical science will be able to diagnose, then cure through an operation or drugs this inactive chemical condition before they do kill somebody.
>>There IS a link between creative genius and madness - with both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder frequent in highly creative and intelligent people.<
Every highly intelligent person I have ever met was bipolar ... living in a world of continuous deep thought and high imagination while at the same time attempting to slow down enough to fit into the common world of insane laws and rules forced upon society by incompetent bureaucrats and managers who long since should have retired or been fired.
The reason genius often leads to madness is because it's maddening living in a world run by people stupider than you.
As a nurse and an EMT I've dealt with a fair number of patients with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.
I've seen a few smart people, but no one who impressed me as brilliant. Schizophrenia usually leads to a poverty of thought, so if you met someone who was schizophrenic they would not likely appear very intelligent, but they might have before the disease began. I've seen more people with diagnosed developmental disabilities.
It is true that intelligent people are more likely to be able to manage their illness, and stay out of the hospital. Some of the medications are sedating, dulling, even stupefying. It's one reason why people stop taking them.
-—Do you think there is a murder gene? Or genes that make people prone to violence?
Not anymore than I think there's an intelligence gene. Intelligence is hard to define.
Intelligence IS hard to define and different people have various types of intelligence - but there is certainly a degree of intelligence that is heritable - and thus based upon genetics.
So why would you presume that if there WAS a "murderer gene" that it would lead to disproportionate reproductive success?
And there IS a link between being born female, the moon, and bouts of temporary insanity.
We intelligent types do suffer! Sigh!
I always found John Nash to be a particularly interesting case because so much of his treatment was willpower to acknowledge his delusions as such. From there he was able to ignore them and they began to fade.
The intellect, like the will, is essentially spiritual, yet associated with the brain. If the intellect was purely material, it would reduce to a machine, capable of error, placing all thought in fundamental doubt. But since we can know some things with certainty, this premise must be false.
My point regarding the "murder gene" was meant to highlight the problem of reducing the mind and will to material phenomena.
Those who are truly smart do end up damaged. Mostly by having to deal with the utter idiocy of the rest of Humanity.
We devote a huge amount of resources to our brain because of the physical necessity of a larger brain to conduct higher cognitive function. If humans had "spirit" brains - why the associated physical cost in birthing and maintaining our large brains?
If someone gets a spike through the speech forming part of their brain and can no longer form words - is it a mechanical or a spiritual defect?
Not true.
There has to be some environmental pressure which causes those people with the gene to be more successful at breeding than those without the gene. If a gene does not provide a dramatic increase in an organism's chance of breeding (or surviving to breed) then there's no reason for that gene to increase in the gene pool.
I don't see many examples of hyper-intelligence granting people increased breeding opportunities.
So in a society where intelligence was not valued - yes there would be less environmental pressure favoring greater intelligence.
But in general and in most human societies - intelligence is valued and intelligent people are favored by sexual selection - as well as general run of the mill selection - intelligence also contributing to affluence - which is also highly favored by sexual selection.
And there need not be a "dramatic increase" in reproductive success for a favored gene to reach penetrance in a population - just a minor incremental difference over many generations.
——Well any premise that intelligence or will is essentially spiritual is useless. Whereas any premise that it is a function of physical processes will be of use in terms of diagnosis, understanding, and further study.——
Truth trumps utility.
It's not wise to base empirical sciences on false premises.
—— We devote a huge amount of resources to our brain because of the physical necessity of a larger brain to conduct higher cognitive function. If humans had spirit brains - why the associated physical cost in birthing and maintaining our large brains?——
Does anyone know? How could we know?
Because thought is associated with brain activity, we can't necessarily conclude that thought is brain activity.
Again, if the brain is simply a complex machine, then it can malfunction. Therefore, any assertion can be doubted. All knowledge would be probable, at best. But since we know some things with certainty, I.e., truth exists, the premise that the mind is a machine must be false.
Or look at it another way. If thought reduces to a material phenomenon, then one arrangement of molecules in the brain would have no more intrinsic worth than any other arrangement. So my idea that "thought is essentially spiritual" has no more or less value than your idea that "thought is essentially material." Yet we know with certainty that one of these ideas must be superior to the other. So the premise of a purely material intellect must be false.
-—If someone gets a spike through the speech forming part of their brain and can no longer form words - is it a mechanical or a spiritual defect?-—
Mechanical. But this is lower order brain activity, beneath the level of the intellect, which deals with universals.
This highlights another conundrum created by materialist epistemology. How can anyone know whether one's thoughts conform with reality, if man is a machine? How can anyone know that an external reality even exists?
Aristotle answered these questions long ago. But the rigorous, commonsensical answer is very lengthy, and requires an understanding of his notion of matter and form.
This link provides an overview:
The following will only be of interest to anyone deeply interested in the subject.
There is disagreement between Aristoteleans and Thomists regarding "sense impressions" (phantasms in Thomism.) I prefer Aristotle's brilliant solution to this problem, with his theory regarding "cognoscitive matter."
This article by Mortimer Adler explains:
Gary Habermas and —IIRC— David Moreland are exploring this issue via studying near death and death experiences. Most folks do not realize to what extent these studies have discovered an awareness that person can have while their brain is not showing ANY activity, yet the patient has memories when brought back that they could not have based on purely a physical brain phenomenon.
The truth is generally of use - while specious theological musings are generally useless - despite how "true" the formulator of such thinks it is.
What do you think you know of a certainty such that mind couldn't possibly be a machine?
You claim that if truth exists then the mind cannot be a machine? One does not logically follow from the other - despite how much you think it does or how many times you repeat it.
Taller people with larger brains tend to have higher intelligence. Do they have a better "spirit" brain or a better "physical" brain?
An arrangement of molecules and cells where cognitive function is achieved has more intrinsic worth (as far as cognitive function) than one where cognitive function cannot be achieved.
Someone who induced brain damage through regular excessive alcohol consumption does suffer a defect in 'higher order' brain function. Do they suffer from a "spiritual" defect or a "physical" defect?
When cognitive function is reduced after eating a large meal due to reduced blood flow to the brain - is the person suffering from a "physical" defect or a "spiritual" defect?
I believe there is measurable mate-selection preference between the profoundly stupid and the moderately intelligent, but in regards to mate-selection I believe that the average male is intelligent 'enough.' Additionally, it's only been fairly recent (in terms of human history) that hyper-intelligence has translated to much greater wealth than the moderately intelligent. A moderately intelligent hunter/gatherer could produce as much food and acquire as much wealth as a hyper intelligent hunter/gatherer. Neither the (hypothetical) hyper-intelligent hunter/gatherer nor his off spring gained any reproductive edge from the increase in intelligence.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that there haven't been enough generations of humans, during which hyper-intelligence would make a reproductive difference, for selection to occur and make an impact on the gene pool. The fact is that the opportunity for this type of selection to occur is passed: we pay the least capable among us to reproduce, which in turn causes the capable to have fewer children due to the lack of resources (taxes for socialism). Sure, it's possible that we may witness an increase in the number of geniuses but they'll be swamped by the moderate and low intelligent.
It didn't evolve. It's a natural result of being as much higher in intelligence as the average person is higher in intelligence than a moron with an IQ of 50. Imagine living in a world like that and you will understand the link between genius and madness.
There are countless things that are true that aren't useful. Or, the uselessness of a thing does not affect its truth.
Regarding the intellect, like the will, it's an aspect of the soul, or "form," of the body, in the Aristotelean sense. That is, the soul is the organizing principle of the material body. It is a simple spiritual substance —it has no parts.
In life, the soul is united to the body, causing the body to act coherently as an organism. When the soul is separated from the body at death, the body breaks down into its constitutive components —it decomposes.
The difference in bodily functions in the moments before and after death are incrementally different —no different in degree from the incremental bodily changes leading up to death. Yet something radical happens at death. The body ceases to act as a whole —even while components of the body may continue to live for a time.
If the soul is the organizing principle of the body, it is fully integrated with the body, and changes to the body will affect the soul (while not decomposing it), and changes to the soul will affect the body.
Finally, the idea of the soul accounts for the experience of self, which atomistic materialism cannot explain in a noncontradictory manner.
Let me know if you have any links. I've heard contradictory reports about the subject.
A more intelligent human can out hunt, out trade, out farm, out fight and out plan a less intelligent human of otherwise equal ability.
Intelligence has always been correlated with wealth, for as long as there has been wealth. Every human invention and innovation has as its author - a highly successful and intelligent individual. The inventor of the spear thrower - as just one example - no doubt had great reproductive success.
There have been at least 100,000 years worth of human generations of fully modern humans - plenty of time for a gene for greater intelligence that had no associated drawback to be favored.
My point is that almost everything has a drawback - there is no such thing as a free lunch.
As far as socialism encouraging layabouts to reproduce - thankfully that is a very recent 'innovation' and a symptom of how little scarcity of resources is a problem in the modern industrialized world.
Is the person born with dwarfism because the organizing principle of their material body is a defective "soul" - or is it that the organizing principle of their material body is DNA with a defective bone elongation factor?
Certainly in our past that sort of superstitious and primitive thinking prevailed - and anyone born with dwarfism was reviled as having a stunted soul.
Does someone born with Down syndrome has less of a soul than most people? They are certainly less intelligent than most people. Do they also therefore have less of a soul, or do they have more DNA than was optimal?
I think we're spinning wheels at this point. Best to you.
Well yes, because your formulation is absolutely useless and renders you unable to answer even the simplest questions about it, you are "spinning wheels" stuck in the mud of your own devising - and you will stay there - because you will not avail yourself of the physical understanding that would pull you out of the mud.
That is the fate of all who seek to explain physical phenomena via mystical means. It is useless and lead nowhere to no further understanding or discovery or application.
The truth is useful. Your theological musing that the brain is "spiritual" is useless.
Absolutely, no argument there.
My argument is simply that hyper-intelligence (as opposed to moderate-intelligence) hasn't really given humans a reproductive edge. Sure, the inventor of the spear, or wheel, or whatever was a lot smarter than his rivals, but using those inventions didn't require hyper-intelligence. The use of these inventions granted great reproduction advantage, but the invention of these things did not.
There are, to be sure, testimonies from persons who experience an 'out of body' phenomenon, which are fascinating stories and many times include evidentiary data. But the more 'dead' a person is, medically, and yet they recover and relate experiences while in that 'deadness' are the real clues to a brain/soul-spirit connection.
A farmer who knows what seeds to use and which to discontinue - what crosses will be favorable - when to plant - how to deal with disease or overburdened branches - will have a huge reproductive advantage over a farmer of moderate intelligence who plods along doing what he has always done.
A more intelligent hunter is a more successful hunter and a more successful hunter generally has better reproductive success.
A more intelligent mason is a more successful mason and a more successful mason generally has better reproductive success.
A more intelligent war leader is a more successful war leader, and a more successful war leader generally has better reproductive success.
A more intelligent person is more likely to achieve higher rank in society, and one with higher rank in society is generally has better reproductive success.
Any human endeavor conducted by a human of demonstrable higher intelligence will be done better than a human of moderate intelligence. When you do things better you generally have better reproductive success.
Can't wait to check it out! Thank you
Just finished listening. Amazing evidence. Thanks again.

CHANNAHON, Ill. (AP) — The husband of a victim of a crash on Interstate 55 south of Chicago has filed a lawsuit against the driver of the truck that plowed into several slowly moving vehicles, killing five.
The Joliet Herald-News reports Moses Blopleh of Channahon is seeking more than $50,000 in damages from Francisco Espinal-Quiroz and Espinal Trucking.
Espinal-Quiroz of Leesburg, Indiana is charged with reckless homicide in connection with the July 22 crash near Channahon. Espinal-Quiroz's truck struck several vehicles stopped in a construction zone, including that of Ulrike Blopleh.
The lawsuit claims Espinal-Quiroz was speeding, failed to reduce speed and didn't safely change lanes. It also asserts the driver appeared to have impaired vision, which may have been a factor in the crash.
The lawsuit is the second filed against Espinal-Quiroz.

Merlin Ray Buddy' MaGouirk
Durango resident Merlin Ray MaGouirk died of cancer Sunday, March 17, 2013, in Durango. He was 76.
Known as Buddy, he was born to Harold and Leota MaGouirk on Aug. 28, 1936, in Dallas. After his graduating from Adamson High School in Dallas, he later graduated from Fort Lewis College.
Mr. MaGouirk then joined the Navy. He was stationed in Long Beach, Calif., and spent four years on a destroyer, the USS Mansfield. He was awarded a China Service Medal and a Good Conduct Medal, and he completed the Radio A School during his military service.
After his discharge in 1959, he returned to Dallas, where he spent many years in the food business. After holding the position of vice president with Pizza Inn Inc., Mr. MaGouirk founded Southwest Pizza in San Antonio, where he eventually had 11 stores.
On Dec. 20, 1955, he married Patricia Ann Mauzy in Albuquerque, and they raised four children together. The marriage later ended in divorce.
When Mr. MaGouirk returned to Durango, he met Barbara Beard. The family said they were inseparable until the time of his death 21 years later.
Mr. MaGouirk enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping in the mountains around Durango. His son said his love of fishing will be commemorated on his headstone, which is decorated with a trout fisherman.
Mr. MaGouirk was a Baptist.
He was very outgoing and never met a stranger, his family said.
Mr. MaGouirk was preceded in death by his son Gary V. MaGouirk.
He is survived by his wife of 21 years, Barbara Beard of Durango; daughter, Brenda Sue Loar of Rowlett, Texas; sons Steven Ray MaGouirk and Kevin Lee MaGouirk, both of Dallas; sister, Margaret Josephine Snow, of Maybank, Texas; stepchildren Joan Manchester of Farmington, Wesley Miller of Montrose, Douglas Miller of Houston and Carla Miller of Yuma, Ariz.; former wife, Patricia Ann MaGouirk, of Dallas; and four grandchildren and numerous stepgrandchildren.

Abraham Lincoln, then 47, came to Sterling to speak at a rally for presidential candidate, John C. Fremont. On July 18, 1856, a twist of fate brought Mr. Lincoln to the home of Sheriff William Manahan to spend the night. He slept on a sofa with two chairs placed at its end to accommodate his long legs. In the morning he graciously thanked his host and left Sterling and the rest is history! The home has been restored and its interior, furnishings, and facade reflect the time when Lincoln visited in the late 1850s.

Kenya lies across the equator in east-central Africa, on the coast of the Indian Ocean. It is twice the size of Nevada. Kenya borders Somalia to the east, Ethiopia to the north, Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, and Sudan to the northwest. In the north, the land is arid; the southwest corner is in the fertile Lake Victoria Basin; and a length of the eastern depression of the Great Rift Valley separates western highlands from those that rise from the lowland coastal strip.
Paleontologists believe people may first have inhabited Kenya about 2 million years ago. In the 700s, Arab seafarers established settlements along the coast, and the Portuguese took control of the area in the early 1500s. More than 40 ethnic groups reside in Kenya. Its largest group, the Kikuyu, migrated to the region at the beginning of the 18th century.
The land became a British protectorate in 1890 and a Crown colony in 1920, called British East Africa. Nationalist stirrings began in the 1940s, and in 1952 the Mau Mau movement, made up of Kikuyu militants, rebelled against the government. The fighting lasted until 1956.

Posted on 05/10/2013 7:26:49 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
The top-ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee said President Barack Obama could possibly be impeached over what happened in Benghazi.
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) said in a radio interview Thursday that of all the great cover-ups in history including the Pentagon papers, Iran-Contra and Watergate Benghazi is going to go down as most serious, most egregious cover-up in American history.
We may be starting to use the I-word before too long, Inhofe said on the Las Vegas-based Rusty Humphries Show.
The I-word meaning impeachment? Humphries asked.
Yeah, Inhofe confirmed.
When Humphries questioned the likelihood of impeachment, Inhofe said it wouldnt be immediate.....
(Excerpt) Read more at theblaze.com ...
Impeached? I want him deported with the rest of the illegals.
Just in time for the summer riot season.
The way the 'Rats figure it — the bigger their wrong-doing, the more likely they are to get away with it.
Who is Inhofe kidding, the chances of impeaching Obama are a million to one.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it.
But Republicans haven't got the stomach for it and Boehner isn't the man to pull it off.
I couldn't care less. Maybe that's why people bought 80 million firearms since 2008.
"Could" be??????
Should be, or should have been, by now!
Most Egregious Cover-Up in American History
Are we talking about his elligibility or the Benghazi affair?
It is okay for Obama to lie and cover up. It is part of his culture and thus totally excusable.
The Senator must know something we do not. Needs to be more than what we know thus far. Darned serious if a Senator is talking impeachment.
Its a sorry day when you'd be happy for Crazy Joe to take over.
"Bring it On"
Good! Let's get this thing going
I have nothing to lose but my 3 beautiful granddaughters entire future.
4 dead and how many seriously wounded, saved only because the Libyan government (which little barry bastard boy threw under the bus as soon as he could get his female black mouthpiece onto network Sunday shows) stepped in and evaced the wounded. Yet the media, anti-American vermin that they are, are spinning as afst as they can to try and make US believe any lie the regime feeds them 'off the record'!
Just an observation. ;-)
Good grief, Inhofe! Talk about out-kicking your coverage! The Republicans still don't understand how the media will protect Obama. I like the tenacity, but it's way too early to start that kind of talk. Focus! Focus! Focus!
I heard on talk radio today that it took two years of talks about impeaching Nixon before he resigned.
Impeachment isn't good enough. He needs to be removed from office! The whole bunch should be up on charges.
Hicks: Special Forces Furious Upon Being Told to Stand Down video at link
"According to Benghazi whistleblower Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission in Libya, special forces were furious when they were told to stand down during the Benghazi attack. I will quote Lieutenant Colonel Gibson, Hicks told the House Oversight Committee in hearings today, He said, This is the first time in my career that a diplomat has more balls than somebody in the military."
This might be considered a stand down too.
Whistle-blower: Botched talking points hurt FBI probe of Benghazi attack
"Another whistle-blower questioned Wednesday why more military assets were not deployed sooner during the Benghazi terror attack. Mark Thompson, a former Marine and official with the State Department's Counterterrorism Bureau, said he was rebuffed by the White House when he asked for a specialized team -- known as a FEST team -- to be deployed. This is a unit made of special operations personnel, diplomatic security, intelligence and other officers."
Here is a third way a "stand down" policy was implemented IMO.
Blow-by-Blow: How Obama & Hillary Left Americans to Die
"Nordstrom further testified in writing that Hillary Clinton waived security requirements for the Benghazi consulate despite high and critical threat levels in the six categories of security standards established under the Overseas Security Policy Board and the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999. The waiver can only be authorized by the Secretary of State, who cannot delegate that responsibility to someone else. If the Secretary of State did not waive these requirements, who did so by ordering occupancy of the facilities in Benghazi and Tripoli? Nordstrom wrote."
I'm all in for a good game of Cowboys and Parasites.
-— Its a sorry day when youd be happy for Crazy Joe to take over.——
I say, bring on Captain Gravitas. He can't be worse.
As I'm sure you know, impeachment is racist.
And I could get implants and start a Burlesque Review...which is far more likely than Bhoner conducting an impeachment.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
june is trayvon zimmerman trial. i get my CW mid june.
"Top GOP Senator Says Obama Could Be Impeached Over Most Egregious Cover-Up in American History"
Oh wow I've really got my hopes up now. Don't disappoint me now GOP senator, okay?
So the good Senator will be filing Articles when exactly?
Not much to fear ... they will just be after the latest in consumer electronics. After their TV upgrades and the burning down of their own neighborhoods all will be calm.
<..."could possibly be impeached"....>
Riiighhht!....key words 'could' and 'possibly' are 'safe' to say for a politician....these guys will never stick their neck out...just suck air out of the room.
you got that right....
Its a sorry day when youd be happy for Crazy Joe to take over.
I'll take a million Bidens over one Evil bastard 0bama.
Being a senator on the arms services committee I am sure he is talking to unnamed military who know what you know that jets could have been on station in under two hours out of Italy . We had NATO assets within 450 miles and the French had assets able to respond. All of these options could have been utilized but only by the President of the United States. He was unavailable and people died.
Then like all juveniles he lied and got others to lie to cover it up.
Pathetic .
...when he becomes a House member.....
Criminally negligent homicide at the least!
Help never came. With the words "stand down" Obama abandoned the ambassador and the Seals and the CIA people. A rescue attempt was called for. Obama and Hillary left them to die.
Obama could have killed the ambassador himself, and not be impeached.
<....."These politicians just want face time or their names in print"....>
They'll all have something to say that's "safe"...this will then keep their phones and e-mails empty of the peoples demanding action.
We've been down this road many times before...so I won't buy what any of them say til I see something actually taking place.
Besides that...any impeachment will simply be stalled until Obama is done with his term...then he'll retreat abroad to outstretched arms willing to make him king.
Most Egregious Cover-Up in American History
***Not really. That coverup was Certifigate. Obama will skate on Benghazi just like Nixon skated on "Checkers". Maybe history will catch up to him, maybe it won't. But with a complicit media, the chances are very slim. Nixon had an adversarial media.
You know what? I am SICK AND TIRED of this defeatist attitude. MANY of us having been praying for an end to this evil crap for so long.
EVERYTHING is possible with the Lord. If enough of us keep praying and BEGGING for forgiveness, it will come.
I see a lot of negative attitudes here because they entrust the good of light unto men....NOT the Lord.
STOP waiting for mere men to do something. Instead PRAY for His intervention. He is the ONLY one who may change ones heart.
Ewww... Not to suggest that your wrong there Norm, but didn't need that mental picture.
Now where was that Miley Cyrus post....must reset ;- )
I want his whole cabal exhiled to some pis ant island with one knife for all of the traitors.
I want vengeance and I want them to suffer.
Probably but BOs massive but fragile ego won't be able to handle it.
You are correct, of course. But you get my drift.
Heard on the news on way home from work tonight that Kerry said he'd been "briefed" on the hearings and "frankly didn't learn anything new". ((dah)) many times over.

When it comes to Springsteen pedigrees, you don�t get much more, well, pedigree-able: Christopher Phillips is the editor of Backstreets magazine and webmaster of go-to fansite Backstreets.com, and his collaborator Louis P. Masur is an American Studies professor at Rutgers (that�s in Jersey!) and author of Runaway Dream, one of the best of the recent slew of Springsteen books.
If only they�d collaborated a little faster: Talk About A Dream, their collection of interviews with Bruce Springsteen drawn from throughout his four-decade career, arrives on the heels of Jeff Burger�s Springsteen on Springsteen, which has a similar (well, OK, identical) concept. Does the world really need two Springsteen interview collections in the same year?
Turns out, well, yes. Even though the two overlap a bit — notably including Springsteen�s daring 1996 interview with the Advocate, in which he made an argument for marriage equality 15 years before it was fashionable — most of Talk�s 428 pages contain material unique to the new volume, all of revealing, much of it absolutely essential.
You don�t have to get further than page 30 for evidence: That�s where you�ll find �The Lost Interviews� from 1975, a series of sit-downs with European press that were locked in a vault for years; they were excerpted in Backstreets magazine in the �90s but never published in full, until now. It�s a loss that needed to be rectified: Catching Springsteen on the cusp of his first major success, it cements themes and attitudes he would go back to again and again during his career.
In particular, he�s candid about the almost pathological drive that propels him to the stage night after night. �I don�t know if it's fate or what it is, but I go out there every night feeling that way: �Tonight, I gotta prove myself�,� he says. �It never was to anybody, it was always to myself.�
The voice of Bruce
Phillips and Masur stay mostly focused on Q&A�s and direct transcripts, bringing Springsteen�s own words to the fore — a wise choice, since the prose pieces tend to seem dated or downright cheesy. (�The chance of a meal at the hotel was as unlikely as a Reagan insight,� writes Roger Scott in a 1984 Hot Press feature, apropos of nothing.)
Using primarily Springsteen�s own words pays big dividends, and not just because fans will be able to hear his Jersey cadences and full-throated laugh in their heads as they go. He�s remarkably open and thoughtful, and you can see him gradually building and shaping the themes and concerns that have marked his career: his responsibility to the audience, the forces that drive his writing — from the psychological to the sociological — and the fact that he takes his job deadly seriously, no matter how much fun it is.
�I could make a commitment to [a luxurious lifestyle] for a certain amount of time, but after that I just had to get my feet back into what felt like real life,� he tells Ken Tucker in a 2003 Entertainment Weekly interview. �I always come back to the same thing: It�s about work — the work, working, working.�
Talk also has an edge over Springsteen on Springsteen with its inclusion of higher-profile pieces like Tucker�s and an incisive 1992 Rolling Stone interview by James Henke, which shed light on what many fans considered a fallow period for Springsteen as a songwriter. It may have been Springsteen�s most candid interview up until that time as far as laying out his own personal foibles, and how wife Patti pulled him up by his black-leather bootstraps: ��She had a very sure eye for all of my bullshit,� he tells Henke.
Springsteen�s political world
The book also has Springsteen�s 2000s interviews with Backstreets, which helped define the motivations behind his late-career forays into electoral politics. �I believe that my ideas and the beliefs that our band has stood for over the years are an integral part of our work, and we have a duty to make those ideas as clear as possible,� he told Phillips in 2004. �You also figure, these are the times we're working in. And I think you�ve got to take your stand in them.�
It�s an idea that threads itself through several of Springsteen�s later interviews. �In the course of your lifetime how your country steers itself is under your stewardship. So what did you do?� he asks Phil Sutcliffe of Mojo in 2006. �That was an interesting idea to me in terms of how to look at your life, your work and your place.� If there�s a more eloquent smackdown of the �shut up and sing� faction, I haven�t heard it.
And with this many interviews collected, there are bound to be tidbits new to even the most ardent fans — �like the one about Springsteen�s aborted plan to put out a series of 4-song EPs in the late �70s, or his call, while writing �Nebraska,� to a reporter who had originally covered the Starkweather murders 25 years earlier. (You can imagine the conversation: �No, who is this, really?�)
It also features this telling reveal made to EW�s Tucker: Asked about his current cultural hero, Springsteen points to the author Philip Roth. �To be [in his 60s] making work that strong and so full of revelations about love and emotional pain,� Springsteen says. �Man, that�s the way to live your artistic life: Sustain, sustain, sustain.�
It�s nuggets like that which help Talk About a Dream build a three-dimensional picture of Springsteen as an artist, a performer and as a man: Complex, intensely devoted to his craft and his country, and — despite some early protestations to the contrary — eager to explain what music, his and others�, has meant to him, to his audience and to the world around him. It�s an impressive portrait of an important, devoted artist who�s lived up to Roth�s example, and then some.

Skip to comments.Journalists react in shock to Drudge Report header featuring Hitler and Stalin
Posted on 01/09/2013 11:02:05 PM PST by Impala64ssa
Shocked journalists this afternoon were quick to react to the Drudge Reports controversial header photo comparing President Obama to Hitler and Stalin. The item linked to a Weekly Standard article reporting that President Obama was willing to address the gun issue with an executive order.
Hitler and Stalin! exclaimed BuzzFeed Editor Ben Smith on Twitter alerting most of his followers by linking directly to the Drudge Report.
Drudge rules our world, responded Slate journalist David Weigel to Smiths post on Twitter, later adding sarcastically, SOMETHING SHOCKING HAS BEEN POSTED ON THE INTERNET.
Our right is nuttier than your right (US to 193 countries), wrote the Al-Monitors Laura Rozen.
The Washington Posts Greg Sargent begged his followers not to talk about or visit the Drudge Report.
Dear everyone: Talking about how Drudges visuals are ruse to get attention = giving Drudge attention, he wrote.
Also, dont link to Drudge link to twitpic, the Washington Posts James Downie added.
Why didnt @Drudge just go all the way and put Obamas photo between Adolph and Josef? asked Michael Rosten, a social media editor for the New York Times.
The new gold standard in Godwins Law violations, wrote Business Insiders Joseph Weisenthal in reaction to the picture.
Seriously Drudge? asked Newsweeks Michael Moynihan who added a link to one of his own columns, Someone needs to read my @tabletmag column.
Yep, Obama is just like Hitler and Stalin by trying to clean up databases on gun purchases and violence, Sam Stein from the Huffington Post tweeted sarcastically.
Has the Drudge Report ever been Drudgier than it is right now? tweeted The Washington City Papers Mike Madden.
Drudge thinks that there hasnt been enough Drudge talk lately, surmised Mike Memoli a reporter in the Tribune/LA Times DC Bureau.
Really? Drudge is shocking people? asked Roll Calls David Drucker sarcastically. Cmon.
Whoa. Drudge sending a message today. Wow, tweeted Breitbart.coms Matthew Boyle.
So Drudge is right now comparing President Obama to Hitler and Stalin on his homepage, reported John Avlon, a Senior Columnist for Newsweek & The Daily Beast.
Current splash on Drudge Report should satisfy the entirety of their mouthbreather audience, tweeted the Huffington Posts Drew Guarini.
Disgusting, tweeted The Huffington Posts Amanda Terkel retweeting a Teletubbies parody of the controversial headline tweeted by the @HuffPostHill account. The message read: Drudge has crossed the line: pic.twitter.com/BYCn6MPE
After years of similar accusations against Bush that they ignored, suddenly they are shocked — shocked, I tell you!
Consequences of having a foreigner in the White House.
Well, there is an old saw about cooking a frog.
Put it in boiling water and it immediatly knows it is in trouble (e.g. conservatives) and jumps out vs putting it in a pot of cool water and slowly turning up the heat (liberals).
By the time liberals- and the frog - finds it's being cooked, it will be too late.
Drudge did good, when he ran those two pics.
it's shocking to msm journalists becuase someone actually published the truth for a change.
The image doesn't work.
One puppet master with two puppets makes sense. Two puppet masters with one puppet does not.
Too bad he forgot Mao.
I am currently reading "The Roosevelt Myth" by John T. Flynn, (originally published in 19480 and I am horrified by the parallels between their political careers, their economic illiteracy, their self-importance, and their overall incompetence/naivete'.
When Archie Bunker sang about how "We could use a man like Hoiboit Hoover again", you have NO idea how correct he was!
The press has been in the dimrats' pockets FAR longer than you realize.
Oh PLEASE, America, WAKE UP!
Those snots are so out of touch.
Nothing shocking at all.
Drudge was right on!
And how exactly can the GOP combat that? I have no idea.
So, when the Hollywood crowd made a Movie about assassinating President Bush, a sitting President at the time, all these "Journalists" rose up in outrage?
I must have missed that.
Well, at least he hasn't gotten us into a big war yet. I will be so glad when my son gets home from Afghanistan.
Bush loved America. The Obama communist monster dictator hates America and wants America destroyed
there is a stranger in our house.
Good for Drudge. Finally someone says the truth
How fun— the metrosexuals are all weighing in.
Lol, these Leftists don't like history!
Good for you Drudge. Good to see someone willing to tell it like it is. It would be nice if the spineless and gutless Republicans would sit up and take notice instead of cringing like wilting pansies under their rocks.
Puh-leeze. If Bush loved America, why did he do so much for Mexican illegal aliens?
Every time they publish a half-truth or an outright falsehood, they need to be sued.
Hold them accountable financially. Tie them up in court for years. Bankrupt them until they're too frightened to do anything but report the bare facts.
He was wrong on that and the GOP congress slapped him down on that (Amnesty). Bush still loved America.
focus, your rights are being taken away by a communist monster named Obama Bush is no longer president . I know you may be liberal but you are wrong too as all democrats want to do is take away individual rights like gun ownership rights and freedom.
I can't believe this nightmare . The greatest society ever ( the U.S.) and the news media gets a piece of crap , communist, anti-American ,monster elected dictator for life.
Sometimes I feel like is this real, is this piece of crap really president? and then I feel like after waking up from a nightmare and you say "oh it was only a nightmare" but you then realize you are in the nightmare. the horror. All I want is secession.
Left-wing journalists evidently are mentally retarded.
Or Maybe Drudge Report should put Obama's photo between Idi Amin and Robert Mugabe
Yes, and that is exactly why we can never give up our firearms. I do not trust the community organizer from Chicago as far as I can throw him.
They media people that tweeted in a his sy miss the point. I viewed Drudge today as saying Obama's actions on guns are the same as those of Stalin and Hitler. The context the twits miss is the discussion is about taking away guns.
Are the policies of the three men the same when it comes to guns?
Community organizer = communist agitator
The excruciating pain of the truth.
Obama's face framed between a couple of Chicago gang bangers.
The definitive argument to my mind is in this video:
I agree with Whittle. I don't like people comparing the President of the USA to either Josef Stalin or Adolf Hitler, but what I really detest is the selective outrage.
No one seems to have noticed that last week Obama gave "Executive Order" Amnesty to 1 million MORE illegal immigrants.
In 2012, he gave "Executive Order" Amnesty to 1.8 million illegal DREAM Act immigrants.
Just 8.2 million more illegals to go!
You mean, the liberal pom-pom wearing MSM jornOlists are shocked about their god being compared to their other heroes in Stalin? I'm shocked ..s/
Exactly. People need a history lesson. When will they wake up?
So, to the leftist chattering class, the shocking thing is not behaving like a dictator, it's being called out for it. I get it.
Who cares what the journo-lists think.
They conspired to install this puke, they own it. F em. Let's make a map with their names and addresses.
'W's sister in law is Mexican ~ allegedly here legally (married to the fat Bush). She had undue and unfair influence on him.
That's mostly because they are ~
The Leftwing faction in media is the Country's greatest threat.
This reminds me of an old saying. Not sure who said it.
If you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that yells the loudest is the one that got hit
Hoover was a disaster on fiscal matters similar to Bush. What we need is another Calvin Coolidge.

Skip to comments.Obama doesn't need Congress to intervene in Syria
Posted on 08/26/2013 5:01:56 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer
US President Barack Obama has the authority to launch air strikes against Syria. But he has to notify lawmakers in Congress -- a process which has begun, according to both sides.
"The administration is actively consulting with members of Congress, and we will continue to have these conversations in the days ahead," Kerry said Monday in a strongly-worded statement on Syria.
(Excerpt) Read more at france24.com ...
Illegal war for oil!
Air strikes for what? To oust Assad so Al Qaeda can take his place?
You mean John "...in the manner of Genghis Khan...." Kerry? The guy with that piece of NVA rice in his brain?
No Americans have been attacked in Syria so any war by this president is lawless.
They're one of the few remaining places we haven't bombed yet?
Presidents can now fund/give arms to foreigners to overthrow other governments and air strike against foreign nations is not really war?
We are so, SO screwed.
What a disaster this guy has brought to us.
Now that's just scary.
Or a drug test
I take it that this means Egypt and Libyan are Utopian paradises now?
This guy is like a bull in a china shop.
LBJ went from being a so called great liberal president with the liberals with his war on poverty, which is still being lost, to one of the worse presidents ever after he deepened the Nam War.
Now, Obozoliar appears to be following in the footsteps of LBJ with his lies about Assad and Syria, while covering for the Muslim Brotherhood Thugs and al Queda in Syria.
Yup. Notify. He has a certain amount of time to notify and can conduct a war pretty much unilaterally until then. I want to say its 60 days under the war powers act.
Not that notifying congress would much matter. With congressional "leaders" like boehner, owebama can do pretty much whatever he wants.
Zero going to bomb an aspirin factory?
The drone king says Obey...
Obama doesn't need Congress to intervene in Syria
No , he's using Kerry ,LOL
Congress declares war, not the President.
There is no imminent threat to the US by Syria.
Congress needs to perform their mandate and impeach this lawless person Obama.
Comrade Presidente Al Hussein Obama don't need no steenking congress.
yes, but the Clown ignored that with Libya, and he'll ignore this too...because there are so few real men left in the D.C. establishment.
we are a Kakistocracy.
It's not war if they don't fight back.
This time, though, I believe they will.
Fixed it. He's got the checkbook and a stack of EO forms.
If I were a SEAL group scheduled for Syria, I'd be tempted to suggest buying my own helicopter, or at least scheduling my own tasks, or maybe even having a SEAL buddy be the traffic controller, or, well, hell, maybe sit this one out.
Imagine if North Korea was firing ICBM at the US
North Korea: Calm down man, its not an act of war. Its only a war if US respond
Probably doesn't have a valid photo ID
Legally by 2 days notice.
60 days...
Resident's do list:
1. Golf
2. Bomb Syria
3. Lie
$. Golf
"Cowboy Obama" and his sidekick cowboy John F. "I was for it before I was against it" Kerry will send some missiles, claim they destroyed chemical weapons storage, "declare victory and go home".
"Obama's cowgirls" Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and Samantha Powers have already been responsible for several failed "Arab Springs" in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Tunisia etc.
Nobel Peace Prize laureate "Cowboy Obama" - sounds oxymoronic, doesn't it?
Yes, what else?
Hope, this time around he will have their take out some high value Islamic Brothas goat brothels.
Long enough to ensnare us in someone else's mess and start screaming about the GOP wanting to cut funding to the troops if we want out.
He can't wait to help his Muslim buddies massacre Christian children.
Why Liberals Kill
President Obama to exit Afghanistan. But their heroesfrom FDR to JFKpromoted U.S. involvement in more wars than all modern GOP presidents combined.
It is WAY past time to impeach the entire District of Columbia.
I hope when Syria shoots back, they realize that there are only 9% of us that want war. Please adjust the counterattack towards them.
Another unpaid for war? Over fake WMD's?
Just wait until Iran and Russia start defending Syria. This is going to get ugly real fast. Do you really trust Bathouse Barry's Rainbow warriors to succeed?
Wait tell it comes out that syria's WMD used to be saddam's WMD ... But the Iraqis snuck 'em over the border while the French dry humped us in the security council.
We don't know who brought in Chemicals and until we do, we should do nothing.
Let them kill each other off until only the peaceful ones are left standing,
only because there are no peaceful Muslims in the world. And the ones hiding who are
in silence are the fifth column of Islam who will step up when the time is right to
Kill us again. BAH!
I may be alone here, but I am backing this approach. We cannot allow WMDs to be used against the innocent. I don't care what the left said about W and Iraq. Bush was right, and this is right.
History will call out Obama as a hypocrite over his infamous condemnation of the Iraq invasion.

Human domination of the biosphere: Rapid discharge of the earth-space battery foretells the future of humankind
Earth is a chemical battery where, over evolutionary time with a trickle-charge of photosynthesis using solar energy, billions of tons of living biomass were stored in forests and other ecosystems and in vast reserves of fossil fuels. In just the last few hundred years, humans extracted exploitable energy from these living and fossilized biomass fuels to build the modern industrial-technological-informational economy, to grow our population to more than 7 billion, and to transform the biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity of the earth. This rapid discharge of the earth's store of organic energy fuels the human domination of the biosphere, including conversion of natural habitats to agricultural fields and the resulting loss of native species, emission of carbon dioxide and the resulting climate and sea level change, and use of supplemental nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar energy sources. The laws of thermodynamics governing the trickle-charge and rapid discharge of the earth's battery are universal and absolute; the earth is only temporarily poised a quantifiable distance from the thermodynamic equilibrium of outer space. Although this distance from equilibrium is comprised of all energy types, most critical for humans is the store of living biomass. With the rapid depletion of this chemical energy, the earth is shifting back toward the inhospitable equilibrium of outer space with fundamental ramifications for the biosphere and humanity. Because there is no substitute or replacement energy for living biomass, the remaining distance from equilibrium that will be required to support human life is unknown.
