Scotland Yard confirms that police officers have responded to distress calls from at least four supermarkets across London to control crowds of shoppers gone feral on Black Friday. But at the Museum of London all's quiet, we are relieved to report. A spokeswoman says: "There has been no-nonsense," or untoward incidents this morning even though the institution in the heart of the City of London offered a two-for-one deal until noon for tickets to its exhibition about the capital's most famous fictional detective. "Sherlock Holmes: the Man Who Never Lived And Will Never Die" (until 12 April 2015) chronicles the adventures of the opium-swigging super sleuth in literature, on stage and screen.

Hans Ulrich Obrist, the co-director of London's Serpentine Galleries, is in talks with curators at La Monnaie de Paris (The Mint) about re-creating his exhibition "Take me (I'm Yours)" at the historic Parisian site. The show, which opened at the Serpentine Gallery in 1995, encouraged visitors to take home works of art: the French artist Christian Boltanski filled a gallery with used clothing which people could pick up in carrier bags emblazoned with the word "Dispersal". Gilbert & George distributed badges, and dinner with Douglas Gordon was first prize in a competition devised by the Scottish artist. Obrist told ArtForum that "visitors could touch, use, test, buy, or take away" the exhibits. La Monnaie has been based at the Quai de Conti since 1775.

An 83-year-old flasher—that's what Finnish police saw in Dries Verhoeven's performance piece Ceci n'est pas mon corps (This is not my body), which came to Helsinki earlier this month. For the work, part of the Baltic Circle International Theatre Festival from 9 to 16 November, a different scene was played out each day in a transparent cube installed in the city centre. One scene, about the aging body, features an older woman sitting naked on a chair wearing a mask of a younger woman's face. Since public obscenity is outlawed in Finland, the performance was only allowed to continue after the woman put on underwear. Police were alerted to the work following calls from the public about another scene, in which a half-naked girl sat on an older man's lap—although this was allowed to go ahead unchanged. The full piece was previously shown in eight European cities without incident, including Hamburg, Strasbourg and Basel, leading the festival's director, Eva Neklyaeva, to say she was "ashamed" about the censorship, and a legal complaint has been filed against the city.

No museum is an island—except for the Arken Museum of Modern Art in Ishøj, Denmark. Next autumn, the institution will be based on an island designed by the architects Møller & Grønborg; three bridges will lead visitors over a lagoon from the mainland to the existing museum site. "The initial concept called for locating the museum on the beach in [nearby] Køge Bay, but this had to be abandoned, partly because of the planning conditions for the area around Ishøj Harbour," says a spokeswoman for the museum, who adds that visitors will have better access to the beach. "Instead of the current parking lot, a wide sweep of dunes will seamlessly link the museum to the sea."

For enthusiasts of Britain's Georgian period—and a good cup of tea—the London dealer Philip Mould has a treat in store. He is selling a collection of 45 works by the 18th-century miniaturist John Smart (1741-1811). Smart was working at the same time as Thomas Gainsborough and Joshua Reynolds and displays the same skills in bringing the contemporaneous merchant class to life—on a much smaller scale. Mould and his team have worked hard to dig out more details on both Smart and his sitters to pull together the exhibition, "A Genius Magnified" (until 9 December). Their research has unearthed that Smart, who is recorded as being from Norfolk, was in fact from the Soho area of London. Among his sitters are Richard Twining, who entered his family's tea business at only 16. Prices for the pieces from the collection, which was amassed in Germany over the past 30 years, begin at £4,000 (for Smart's preparatory drawings) to £55,000.
Questions have been asked about a piece of public sculpture commemorating the victims of the 9/11 attacks in New York that was due to be installed permanently in London's Olympic Park in Stratford. Last year, we reported that After 9/11 by the US-based artist Miya Ando, which incorporates a twisted steel column from the World Trade Center, was destined for the East End of the capital but the project seemed to have stalled. A spokesman for Ando's dealer, Sundaram Tagore gallery in New York, tells us, however, that "the actual installation and the ceremony will be taking place spring of 2015".

Spain's Queen Letizia is getting major kudos from the Spanish press after she gave a speech presenting the Velazquez Visual Art Prize, worth €100,000, to the Catalan sculptor Jaume Plensa. "Queen Letizia has embraced the new fondness for the invention of language," begins a report in El Mundo. The former journalist turned royal said of Plensa: "I admire an artist that uses ideas as raw material, that achieves powerful works with approachable content, that captures the essence of humanity by bringing thought and—allow me the neologism—physicality [fisicalidad] together." It's not always easy to translate a neologism but those familiar with English artspeak get the point.

The Whitney Museum for American Art said goodbye—or maybe just see you later—to its Marcel Breuer-designed building on Wednesday with a blowout gala that raised $4.3m. Although the space was emptied of all art ahead of its move to its new Meatpacking District facility, due to open on 1 May, the Whitney made sure to leave its mark on its long-time home. Event organisers screenprinted the signature of every artist in the museum's collection—more than 3,000 names—on the walls and hung paper lanterns from the ceiling inscribed with the names of each artist who had had a solo show at the Breuer. "I found this space wonderful to work in, but I'm not saying goodbye to anything, since the building will still be used for contemporary art," said the artist Lawrence Weiner, referring to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's move into the building. The party's décor also suggested that the Whitney might not be saying a permanent goodbye. Lengthy power chords on the walls spelled out phrases including, "goodbye for now", "stay tuned" and "see you later". A spokeswoman confirms the museum hopes to operate both the downtown and uptown spaces after the Met's eight-year lease of the Breuer ends, but says, "the decision will be made in future years". If the Whitney's goodbye party was this intricate, just imagine the housewarming.

Dedicated patrons of the arts will need to put on their dancing shoes and their good pyjamas for this weekend's Fall Ball, a fundraiser for Creative Time at the NeueHouse in New York. The fun begins on Friday evening for the more zealous revellers with a dinner and "participatory slumber party". Everything but a good night's sleep seems to be on the menu, from nail art by Will Cotton and Rob Pruitt to early-morning yoga to whatever a "porn puzzle corner" might be. Those who prefer the comfort of their own beds—or aren't up for "full body exams" with David Colman—can join the fun on Saturday night, with an artsy dance party from nine to midnight.

The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) in Richmond is hosting a show of prints by the Japanese artist Kawase Hasui and the backer of the exhibition is an unlikely source: René Balcer, a longtime writer and showrunner of the television programme "Law & Order", and his wife Carolyn. "Water and Shadow: Kawase Hasui and Japanese Landscape Prints" (until 29 March 2015) includes more than 100 of the artist's prints, screens and fan paintings, and is drawn largely from the collection of the Balcers, who donated their holdings to the VMFA in 2006. René Balcer has a history with the museum. In 2011, he collaborated with the Chinese artist Xu Bing on the Tobacco Project, in which the artist explored issues related to tobacco production, which included a sculpture made of 500,000 cigarettes laid out to resemble a tiger skin rug.
The Wellcome Collection opens "The Institute of Sexology" on Thursday, 20 November, the inaugural long-format exhibition in Gallery 2 of London's medical-history-meets-art venue (until September 2015). Displays about the pioneers of sex research include Sigmund Freud, Marie Stopes, William Masters and Virginia Johnson and, of course, Alfred Kinsey. The good doctor's famous institute in Indiana is among the many lenders. Besides the complex sex-questionnaires that Kinsey devised, there's a burgeoning collection of erotica donated by experimental filmmaker and author of Hollywood Babylon, Kenneth Anger, in the Kinsey Institute. Anger and Kinsey's friendship began in the 1950s. They met in the Coronet Theatre in Los Angeles, the city's hottest spot for avant-garde cinema. (Ed Keinholz made a work for the foyer). "Doctor Kinsey interviewed me when a teenager for his book, so I'm actually part of the statistics," Anger tells Extra Extra, the self-styled publication for erotic encounters. After a screening of Anger's 1947 experimental film "Fireworks", Kinsey said he'd like to purchase a print for his institute. "That was my first sale," Anger says, who is now represented by Sprüeth Magers of Berlin and London.

The Magnum photographer Michael Christopher Brown, known for taking most of his on-the-ground images using his iPhone, spent a week last August in the Za'atari refugee camp in Jordan teaching Syrian refugee teenagers how to take and manipulate photos with mobile phones for a programme organised with the charity Save the Children. "I asked the group to show me their daily reality," Brown said. A young participant called Samar expressed her enthusiasm for the project, saying her dream since childhood has been to travel the world as a photojournalist. An online gallery on Tumblr will chronicle the work of Samar and her peers over the next year. The director for Save the Children in Jordan, Saba Mobsalat, explains that the pictures "remind us that behind all of the numbers, each Syrian child is an individual with a life and a voice… just like any teenager in any country".

Virginia Woolf said that for a woman to be a successful writer she required two deceptively simple things: money and a room of one's own. While this might be easier to achieve nowadays, it's still impressive to see how much women writers were able to produce in a pre-feminist age, when social and economic constraints often kept the pen out of their hands. Some of this output can be seen at the Paris auction house Ader, where a unique collection of 1,500 letters and documents, written by women over more than 600 years from the 14th century to the present, is due to be sold on 18 and 19 November. The top lot, estimated at €35,000-€40,000, is a letter dated 1529 from Catherine of Aragon to a representative of the pope, contesting Henry VIII 's demand to annul their marriage. Other royal documents include a rare letter from Mary, Queen of Scots, mourning the 1563 assassination of her uncle, the French Duc de Guise, and two secret letters from Catherine the Great of Russia to a former lover. The collection includes the complete manuscript of a novella by George Sand, the nom de plume of the French writer Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin. Other writers represented include Virginia Woolf herself, Anaïs Nin and Agatha Christie, but there are also letters from singers and actresses such as Edith Piaf and Brigitte Bardot and artists like Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassat and Sonia Delaunay.

The M25 is one of the modern miseries of London, as any commuter who has to use the motorway that circles the capital can tell you. Friday was especially hellish as heavy rain caused part of the carriageway to collapse in Surrey, resulting in a 16-mile tailback. Spare a thought for the dancers due to perform Megan Saunders' large-scale performance piece I've Been Going Round in Circles Since 1986, which is part of the Hayward Gallery's "Mirrorcity" show (until 4 January 2015). On Saturday, 15 November, a group of 15 dancers is due to navigate sections of the motorway on foot, collectively circling the orbital motorway. (Thundery showers are forecast.) On Sunday at London's Royal Festival Hall on London's Southbank they are due to recreate the choreographic piece and regale their audience with tales of the M25.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Lacma) is holding auditions for a role in the Pierre Huyghe retrospective, which opens on 23 November. Lacma seeks an "Announcer" who will take part in a forthcoming exhibition, which a museum spokeswoman confirms is, indeed, the Pierre Huyghe show. It's a male role that requires standing for extended periods of time and the ability to speak clearly and project your voice, states the job ad on the museum website. "Excellent command of the English language is essential." Suitable attire is also specified, which the successful applicant has to provide. "The performer must wear his own black suit with white collared shirt and black shoes (no sneakers)," it says. Should any aspiring, out-of-work actor think they'll have to channel their inner Blues Brother for Pierre, think again. "The exhibition of contemporary artwork references the royal courts and male court heralds," the ad states. Sounds as if Huyghe has something Alice in Wonderlandish in mind for his off-Hollywood debut. Anyone interested in the role (part-time, temporary, $14/hour, up to 29 hours a week) needs to send their résumé right away. "Pierre Huyghe" (until 22 February 2015) is organised by the Centre Pompidou in Paris, in association with Lacma and the Museum Ludwig, Cologne.

Any ill-timed bouts of insomnia could kibosh a show that is due to open later this month at Gallery Different in Bloomsbury, London. The fetchingly titled "Ibis Sleep Art" show has been organised by the eponymous economy hotel chain. Twelve artists, including London-based Carne Griffiths, will spend the night slumbering in a bed designed by Ibis engineers. On waking up, the suitably refreshed aesthetes will create a new work based on their shuteye (new works inspired by the land of nod will be added throughout the show). Let's hope it doesn't send us off to sleep too.
For all those lovers of literature out there, the artist and Yale professor Sam Messer will debut several new collaborations with novelists Jonathan Safran Foer (Everything Is Illuminated) and Denis Johnson (Jesus' Son) next year. Beginning at Fredericks & Freiser in early January, Messer will show an animation based on a children's book that Johnson wrote for Messer's daughter (who is also Johnson's goddaughter) as well as a collection of text and image "scraps" that the pair have been collecting since 1981. For his part, Safran Foer will create texts and collages to paste atop Messer's drawings of the writer. Later in the spring, Garth Greenan Gallery in New York will exhibit a return to one of Messer's favourite subjects: the Brooklyn novelist Paul Auster, with a show of both old and new paintings of the writer and his typewriters.

The German artist Gregor Schneider makes waves (again) with the news that he has taken over the childhood home of Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda. Schneider tells us that he bought the former Goebbels residence in 2013, which is located in Rheydt in north-west Germany. The property is 100 metres from "Haus U R", the artist's family home-cum-art project which he has relentlessly reconfigured since 1985. "Nobody told me about the history of [the Goebbels] house, I found out by accident. People in the city have known but not talked about it. I want to work against history and displacement… the silent victims must be heard again," he says. Schneider took photos of himself eating and sleeping in the space, but has since gutted the property, removing the walls and ceilings beginning with Goebbels' old bedroom; the house is now an empty shell, but the artist may transport the rubble to Berlin and park the truck filled with the demolition debris outside the Volksbühne theatre. Schneider is no stranger to controversy. In 2008, we reported his plans to show a person dying as part of an exhibition.

The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a little help from some very creative friends. To mark the occasion, the Connecticut museum is due to hold a benefit auction featuring works by artists including Cindy Sherman, Bruce Nauman, Elizabeth Peyton, Olafur Eliasson and Martin Creed. Also on the block are a handful of one-of-a-kind experiences, including a ceramics lesson and tea ceremony with the artist Tom Sachs. Those who like their art with a side of drama can bid on a tour of the "Law & Order: SVU" set at Chelsea Piers in New York with the artist Michael Zansky, who has moonlighted as a production designer for the programme. Tickets to the live auction, which is also accessible online at Paddle8, start at $175. The event is scheduled for 10 November at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in New York.
Julian Siggers is the proud director of the Penn Museum, and understandably so. The head of the 125-year-old University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has good reason to toot the institution's trumpet in the latest issue of Almanac the college's journal. He makes a special point of mentioning the illustrated History of the World in 1,000 Objects, published by Dorling Kindersley last month, which is "now being translated into a myriad of languages". The book includes 212 objects from the Penn Museum's vast collection, he reveals. "So 20% of the world's history" is in the Philadelphia institution, Siggers writes, "mostly on display". Even more gratifying for the director is the fact that the Penn's contribution is greater than the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Louvre in Paris and the British Museum in London. Topping the BM makes Siggers "particularly happy". Who knew that anything Blighty can do in 100 objects, the City of Brotherly Love can do better?

While Germans prepare to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the end of the Berlin Wall on 9 November, artist activists from the Zentrum für Politische Schönheit (Center for Political Beauty) plan to tear down the walls separating Europe. "Let us not commemorate the past, but the present—and demolish the illegal external borders of the EU. Not with warm words, but with bolt-cutters," said Philipp Ruch, the artistic director of the group. On Friday, buses will bring volunteers from Berlin to unspecified points along the European border where they will try to cut down the razor wire fences that are meant to keep out refugees from the Middle East and North Africa, in order to "unite humanity". The group of political artists has become known for its high-profile actions. In 2012, it highlighted the history of Kassel, the city that hosts the major art exhibition Documenta, as a centre for German weapons manufacturing during the Second World War. More recently it created a fake advertisement campaign that said the German government would seek out families housing Syrian refugee kids. A crowd funding campaign on Indiegogo to finance the €5,900 in transportation costs has already raised more than €25,000.

Ed Vaizey has been surfing Trip Advisor. The UK culture minister admitted his online habit in his speech at a dinner at Blenheim to celebrate the Treasure Houses of England, a group of nine major stately homes. His exploration of the travel site had shown that their mansions usually win four or five stars, but he then went on to look at some of the other major heritage destinations. Vaizey found a reviewer had awarded London's National Gallery only a single star, saying "this was really boring—why can't they get some new stuff in?" As for Stonehenge, another commented: "Yawn... It was the biggest waste of time I've ever experienced." Maybe they should have gone to Legoland instead.
It appears as if ancient artisans had some, ahem, help in creating the abstract paintings found at dozens of rock art sites in Dripping Springs, New Mexico. Archaeologists have noticed a correlation between rocks embellished with red, yellow and black triangle motifs and the plants with hallucinogenic properties that grow beneath them, reports the Western Digs blog. Scholars believe that shamans smoked the particularly strong variety of wild tobacco and datura before they set to work on their paintings. "I think almost certainly that they're trancing on this stuff," says Lawrence Loendorf, the president of the Sacred Sites Research archaeological firm. Around 24 drawings have been found so far in an area of southern New Mexico once occupied by the Jornada Mogollon culture.
No one could ever accuse Charles Ray of being impatient. It took more than four years and a complicated fabrication process for the artist to create his latest work, which debuted at Matthew Marks Gallery in Los Angeles this weekend as part of his latest solo show "Charles Ray", until 20 December. Baled Truck, 2014—a compressed version of Ray's own Chevy pickup truck—was the first work Ray conceived in a series of representational stainless steel sculptures, but it was the final one to be completed, with the artist putting the final touches on the work days before the opening. He employed cutting-edge technology, using a 3D scanner to create a digital model of his crushed car out of what Ray calls "virtual clay". A fabrication company that specialises in producing airplane parts carved each component out of blocks of solid stainless steel. Ray then had the parts welded back together like puzzle pieces and resurfaced. The final product is nine feet by four feet, but weighs 12 tons. The sculpture is inspired by Ray's memories of his first car—and how he lost it. "I have a lifelong guilt over abandoning my first set of wheels," Ray tells The Art Newspaper. "I thought I was being chased by UFOs, and I fled out of a swamp and it took me four hours to get away. I abandoned my truck and I never got it again."

A St Petersburg businessman has dismantled a monument to Apple founder Steve Jobs in the form of a gigantic iPhone after the computer company's chief executive Tim Cook came out as gay last week. Maksim Dolgopolov, who paid for the monument to go up in front of St Petersburg's University of Information Technologies in 2013, ordered it removed due to Russia's controversial law against "gay propaganda" according to reports citing a statement by his company, ZEFS. "Now, when it's clear that iPhones are more dangerous than cigarettes or drugs, when in addition to its technology this brand becomes a symbol for sodomistic sin, reasonable people in the world will start rejecting Apple products en masse," Dolgopolov said. Somehow, we doubt that. A spokesman for the university, however, told a local news site Fontanka.ru that the company had in fact planned to remove the monument for repairs before Cook's announcment. Fontanka.ru suggested that Dolgopolov, who is running for local office on the pro-Kremlin United Russia ticket, is seeking to curry political favour by pulling down the iPhone. Or perhaps he was just sick of dropped calls.

Mary Archer is the new chair of the Science Museum Group, which runs London's Science Museum. Mary was trained as a scientist, later lecturing in chemistry at Oxford and Cambridge; her term is due to run from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2018. Sajid Javid, the culture secretary, notes her "fine track record of chairing high profile institutions, along with a sense of what the visiting public want and expect from museums today". Announcements of such government appointments have to include any declared political activity in the past five years, but not that of their spouses. Hence nothing is recorded about her husband, novelist Jeffrey, deputy chairman of the Conservative Party back in the 1980s. But Jeffrey says on his blog regarding the appointment: "I'm a very proud husband."
For anyone with an older sister who never let you read her diary, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, is inviting visitors to take a peek at the personal writings of artists. The exhibition "A Day in the Life: Artists' Diaries from the Archives of American Art" (until 28 February 2015) at the Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture includes 35 personal journals used by painters like Rubens Peale (who wrote of seeing Abraham Lincoln's body lying in state after his assassination) and Janice Lowry (who took to making collages following the terrorists attacks of 9/11). Diaries used by Joseph Cornell, Jack Tworkov and Oscar Bluemner fill the historical gaps in between and a video diary by the contemporary artist Joe Hollier from 2014 asks what role journals can play in our digital age.

Are you familiar with the pubococcygeus muscles? Not many men have and even less understand the kind of power it possesses for a man living an active sex life. The pubococcygeus muscles (aka pc muscles) are basically the muscles you would clench to stop the flow of urine mid-stream whilst going to the bathroom.

Course No. FND 108 Credits: 3.0
Faculty Christi Birchfield | Jimmy Kuehnle | Kathy Buszkiewicz | Kevin Kautenburger | Lauren Herzak-Bauman | Petra Soesemann | Richard Fiorelli
Prerequisite(s) Design I
This course builds on the experiences of Design 1, with compositional and conceptual problems being explored fully in three dimensions in. Form, mass, volume, spatial interactions, material qualities, and physical forces are key factors. Students continue to learn to perceive and control visual relationships within the design structures they make. The aesthetic and conceptual potential of materials and processes (craft) are also vital aspects of this studio course. Creative processes of problem solving through research, investigation and ideation, together with an attitude of discovery, are required for all concept and project explorations. Ideational drawing, model making, material studies, and prototypes contribute to developing ideas to a high and thoughtful level. Various methods and approaches to giving form (such as additive, subtractive, assemblage and joinery) are challenges for every concept explored. Design 2 projects have the potential to be explored as sculpture, functional design, or even as hybrid. Students are challenged to follow their passions and gain experience in self- directing project outcomes. Prerequisite: FND 107 Design I. Offered spring.

The largest herd of reindeer on the planet, located in the George River region of Canada has been reduced by 87% from 385,000 animals in 2001 to about 50,000 specimens currently, according to data from environmental organizations and Canadian authorities.
In a statement, the organization Survival International, dedicated to defending the rights of indigenous peoples and animals, blamed the decline (the largest in the last 10 years), to the iron mining on a large scale, the flood of large areas for hydroelectric power and road construction.
John Bennett, a spokesman for environmental group Sierra Club Canada, said: "Our federal and provincial governments have put the interests loggers, miners and power ahead of the defense of biodiversity in Canada."
For its part, the Canadian authorities recognized the decline of the herd of reindeer, an animal known as caribou in North America, and pointed out that the decline in population is due to natural circumstances, from food to predators, disease and climate change.
To avoid an increase in the decline of the reindeer, the authorities will reduce the hunting season from eight to three months.

The need for more direct action against the GOP establishment
I was reading Da Tech Guy's musings on why limited government types need to work within the GOP rather than try a third party approach to rid themselves of the GOP establishment. He quotes Rush Limbaugh on what Ronald Reagan managed to do the last time the GOP establishment found themselves threatened:
The real question, in my humble opinion, is that this effort and energy needs to be used, as Ronald Reagan did, to take over the Republican Party, to repopulate it and that's exactly what Reagan did, he took it away from the Rockefeller blue-blood country club types starting in 1976, took him 'til 1980 to do it.
Worked before, so it should work again, right? I'm skeptical.
First, what did Reagan really accomplish? A few things, sure. Don't get me wrong – he was the best we've seen in my lifetime, but given the competition, that doesn't mean much.
He got income taxes down from their preposterous progressive wet dream rates of 70%. He stood up to the Soviet Union, and possibly hastened the crumbling of that creaking empire by a few years. He made it respectable, after the raging waves of liberalism in the sixties and seventies, to say that government was more likely to be a problem than a solution for social problems.
And that's about it.
There was no "taking over the Republican Party" under Reagan. He got a few things done, but as soon as he was out the door, it was back to business as usual for the GOP.
Reagan was forced or induced by the GOP establishment to take on one of their blue bloods as his VP. Then, after Bush the Elder won what was supposedly a third helping of Reagan, he immediately broke his solemn promise on taxes, passed more social nonsense such as the ADA, and managed to fumble away the popularity and credibility built by Reagan to the point that he was defeated by a smarmy hick used car salesman from Arkansas.
The GOP then proceeded to nominate Bob Dole, Bush the Younger, John McCain, and Mitt Romney as their presidential candidates. GOP establishment stalwarts, every one of them. In some of those cases, the GOP establishment pulled out every trick in the book to drag their preferred choice over the finish line.
Yes, the GOP establishment learned something from the ascent of Reagan. They learned techniques to keep it from ever happening again.
The GOP establishment has made something perfectly clear: they would prefer to lose rather than let people like Reagan threaten their dominance of the party. Even when they get control, as Newt Gingrich managed in 1994, they revert to their ruling class habits and fumble the opportunity away without making any progress in limiting government. In fact, after a few years, and given a cooperative president, they proved they prefer bigger government to smaller. Under Bush, a classic GOP establishment blue blood, the establishment players in the Congress enthusiastically federalized education, passed a whole new social welfare program for seniors, and passed the biggest infringement of free speech seen in my lifetime (thankfully eventually overturned by the Supreme Court).
What motivation do limited government types have to vote for such weasels or give them support of any kind? Not much, and the elections of 2006 and 2008 proved it.
Even after seeing their limited government base re-energize the party and give them back control of the House in 2010, the GOP establishment still didn't get the message. They worked their butts off to get the "electable" Mitt Romney as their presidential nominee. Having again shown contempt for limited government types, the establishment GOP thus managed to lose against one of the weakest presidential candidates for re-election in history. No one besides Obama has *ever* won re-election with fewer votes than he got the first time, which ought to tell you just how weak he was. But the GOP managed to be even weaker, with a candidate who looked like an android programmed to only say nice things, and never ever raise any of those unpleasant ideas about limiting government. Oh, no, government was just going to be managed better. Just like it was under those managerial types named Bush.
So how do these establishment GOP types keep getting what they want? One big reason is that limited government advocates such as Limbaugh, Da Tech Guy, Charles Krauthammer, Allahpundit over at Hot Air, and about half the denizens of sites such as Free Republic pound the same drum every election. Their basic message is "Yep, we've been screwed by these guys more times than we can count, but we still have to support them because the Democrats are worse!TM"
OK, message taken – the Democrats are worse. But, as limited government types demonstrated in three of the last four elections, that's not enough reason to support the GOP establishment. Indeed, in the only exception that the GOP did well (2010), many of the limited government types only turned out because they were supporting someone other than an establishment candidate.
So we're really four for four in proving that limited government types are fed up on supporting the establishment GOP.
Why on Earth would they not be? What's the point of investing time, energy, and emotion in an effort to elect someone who will most likely end up being just as subverted by the GOP establishment as Bill Frist, Tom Coburn, Jeff Flake, and Mario Rubio have been?
And even on those occasions where a Ted Cruz or Rand Paul ends up winning and sticks to their guns, they can't get anything done. After obediently voting for establishment GOP types for leadership positions, they then spend more time fighting the very people they supported instead of fighting Democrats.
The limited government advocates I mentioned above all desperately want to believe that the answer is simply running better primary candidates to beat establishment Republicans, but then supporting the establishment guys who win the rigged game at least nine times out of ten. That's playing by their rules. I simply don't see how that can ever work.
Therefore I'm confident that simply "working within the GOP" isn't the answer. It's a fantasy to think that will get us a party in which the leaders will work for limited government. The establishment GOP has decades of experience defeating every such attempt, and they've got the entire nomination and campaign financing game rigged in their favor.
Plus, the establishment GOP is willfully blind to the biggest successes the Republicans have had in my lifetime: Reagan, and the turnovers of Congress in 1994 and 2010. All three were fueled by enthusiasm for limited government. If the establishment GOP were simply practical politicians, they would embrace the limited government strategies and philosophies that won those elections.
But by subverting every one of those successes, they proved that they're not just apathetic to limited government – they're actively opposed to it. As members of the political class, the only thing they like about their limited government base is the votes provided. They are willing to pretend to embrace limited government principles to get those votes, but that just makes them more dishonest than Democrats, who are at least honest about growing government without end.
I see no reason to give the establishment GOP any quarter whatsoever.
The reluctant backers of the GOP establishment then say, "A third party would be disastrous! The Democrats would dominate for a generation!" I think things are a lot more complex than that.
First, waves of political change tend to happen in unpredictable, non-linear ways. We're headed for some radical change in the next couple of decades, as we face multiple "what cannot go forever will stop" problems. Plus, a majority of people consider politicians more untrustworthy than the guys offering Three Card Monte on the streets of New York. I think there are plenty of possibilities in that mix to trigger the downfall of a major party.
Second, a third party opens up possibilities that make it more likely to genuinely take back the GOP by kicking out enough establishment Republicans.
The GOP stalwarts would have you think that the only way a third party would work is trying to challenge both the Democrat and the Republican in a large number of races. That would indeed give Democrats a better chance in marginal districts, and help them achieve majorities in Congress. But that's not the only way to do it.
Many states allow candidates to run under the banner of more than one party. In such places, a candidate backed by a Tea Partyish third party could also run for the GOP nomination.
The message to Republicans would be "Look, I've already secured this limited government party's nomination, and so I'm running. I'd also like to be the Republican nominee, which would mean I have a really good chance to win. But if I'm not the GOP nominee, the conservative/libertarian vote will be split and the Democrat would probably win."
The GOP establishment would be furious, and as I noted above, they would probably prefer to lose to a Democrat rather than cave to such pressure. I'm not so sure, though, about the typical Republican primary voter. A lot of them are fed up with business-as-usual Republicans, and might be open to someone who shows serious limited government credentials by also running under a party specifically created to advance those principles.
A variation in other states would be to run for the GOP nomination, and make it clear from the beginning that losing that nomination to an establishment Republican will then result in a third party run. Sure, the establishment GOP and media would be shouting "sore loser!" till election day. But they had no problem with an establishment Republican (gentry GOP member Lisa Murkowski) who did exactly that, so why not ignore their hypocritical braying and do it anyway?
Would these kinds of strategies work? Probably in some cases, and not in others. But we can't solve the current dominance of establishment Republicans by playing by their rules. It's time to try more hardball strategies.
There is risk in that approach. There's also risk in the "stick by the GOP because Democrats are worse" route. The limited government energy generated in 2010 has already been reduced to cynicism in many Tea Party supporters, and much of that reduction is due to seeing their goals subverted by candidates they trusted who defected to the establishment GOP side. We've seen what happens when the base just gets sick of supporting the establishment Republicans and drops out of the process. We get demagogue Democrats.
I think it's time for direct confrontation with the GOP establishment. They've screwed us long enough. Any game theory expert would tell us it's time to return the favor.
Quick hits for Saturday morning
National Journal asks Do Women Make Better Senators Than Men? Given those doing the asking, I'm pretty sure that the question really means "better at responding to emotion-driven appeals from the left". And the answer is yes.
The DOJ urges city officials in Sanford, Florida to "seek justice for Trayvon Martin". Which means, as I said earlier in the week, assuming that he's innocent and Zimmerman is guilty, regardless of facts, evidence, or law. As expected, the DOJ is doing their part to accomplish the goals of white segregationists.
The National Transportation Safety Board apologizes that an intern caused a local TV station to use joke Asian names such as "Captain Sum Ting Wong" in an official news broadcast. You would think that with youth unemployment so high, they could get less ignorant interns. But I'm sure that, for the NTSB, political correctness trumps competency, so I'm not surprised.
Microsoft's Surface tablet is not exactly exceeding expectations. As in a 1.8% tablet market share for first quarter of 2013. The price of the low-end RT version was recently cut in response. The article says "Why did Microsoft's Surface fail so spectacularly? One reason might have been the unusual Windows 8 operating system." I'd agree, because the hardware isn't bad. I've used Windows 8 on and off for over a year now, and I still dislike its blocky, garish, appearance. That, and the generally untuitive interaction, could be fixed, but it would take design talent that Microsoft doesn't have.
This is probably one of the triggers for Microsoft's announced reorganization. By the way, if you pay attention to the Microsoft ecosystem and you don't know who Kevin Turner is, you should. The ex-Walmart exec is COO and would love to be Steve Ballmer's successor as CEO.
I joked to someone this week that, with the emphasis now on devices and away from software, Microsoft should change their name to Macrostuff.
Yessir, that Obama sure does know how to make the rest of the world like us again: "…the US is again being seen as an over-weaning superpower that brushes aside smaller nations."
Speaking of Obama's superhuman capabilities, you know Obamacare is in real trouble when the White House is holding special briefings for the likes of Matt Yglesias and Ezra Klein. No doubt we will see the resulting talking points in our comment section by sometime next week.
Countdown T-minus 2 days until you can have Twinkies again. And until one of my favorite naughty jokes becomes viable again.
Today's GOP: Proud of going to the left of Obama with the Farm Bill
I told you a while back how I get email from politicians that I never asked for and from which I can't opt out because they don't give any mechanism for that. I got a real doozy yesterday.
It's from Marlin Stutzman, Congressman from Indiana, bragging about separating the Farm Bill out from a bunch of other Ag Department stuff:
Transparent government won an important victory today. Conservatives seized an opportunity to split the Farm Bill, a landmark reform that breaks the unholy alliance between food stamps and agriculture policy. For the first time since the 1970's taxpayers will have an honest look at how Washington spends their money on agriculture and food stamp policy.
At first I thought that sounded pretty good. Then I read what Heritage had to say about this "landmark reform" (found via Instapundit and Megan McArdle):
Supporters of this farm-only farm bill wasted the golden opportunity that separation could have provided: the ability to promote policies that benefit taxpayers, farmers, and consumers in a fiscally responsible way. With the passage of this bill, the House has gone even further to the left than the Senate bill. It would spend more money than Obama on the largest farm program, crop insurance [emphasis mine].
On top of all this, the process House Republicans used to get this 600-plus-page bill to the floor in a mere 10 hours essentially violates their own promise to conduct business in an open and transparent manner [emphasis mine]. They prohibited legislators from introducing amendments. And, they played a game of bait and switch by claiming this bill was the same text from the failed House farm bill of a few weeks ago.
In fact, they made this new bill even worse—by making sneaky changes to the bill text so that some of the costliest and most indefensible programs no longer expire after five years, but live on indefinitely. This means the sugar program that drives up food prices will be harder to change, because it doesn't automatically expire. It also means the new and radical shallow loss program that covers even minor losses for farmers will indefinitely be a part of the law.
Note the sleazy irony. Congressman Stutzman starts by bragging about transparency in a bill that was passed in a process that was about as transparent as toxic sludge.
This is today's GOP – paying off their corporate cronies and bragging about how transparently they did it.
Leftist collectivism fulfills the dreams of the segregationists
Over at Just One Minute, Tom takes a look at a couple of articles on the Zimmerman trial, and finds an astonishing admission from a black pastor.
If you've been paying attention to the trial, you know that it's almost over, and every observer with a shred of objectivity thinks Zimmerman will get a "not guilty" verdict.
Problem is, the local black community was convinced from the beginning that Zimmerman was guilty. The media led them right to that conclusion with misleading reporting. For at least one outlet, NBC, it went beyond misleading into outright fraud.
Naturally, those craven journalists will never take responsibility and set the record straight. They even continue to fan the flames with race-baiting articles like the one Tom cites from the New York Times, which included this quote:
Mr. Oliver, the Sanford pastor, said he remained optimistic. "You can feel a little sense that anger is re-emerging," he said.
You don't have to be a trained sociologist* to know what that means – possible civil violence, maybe on the scale of the Rodney King riots.
Why anger? Isn't an innocent man walking free a good thing? Ah, but we're back to the world of post-modern narrative. Truth doesn't matter, only narrative matters, and narrative doesn't have to have any relationship to truth. In the black community, the dominant narrative is that Zimmerman is guilty. As that race-baiting article put it:
Still, black pastors, sociologists and community leaders said in interviews that they feared that Mr. Martin's death would be a story of justice denied, an all-too common insult that to them places Trayvon Martin's name next to those of Rodney King, Amadou Diallo and other black men who were abused, beaten or killed by police officers.
That paragraph only makes any sort of logical sense if you assume from the outset that Trayvon is innocent and Zimmerman is guilty.
Out in the real world, where people are watching the trial, there is a dawning realization that the media got it wrong in the first place, and Zimmerman deserves acquittal. Some of us actually went beyond the fraudulent reporting of the major media and realized that months ago.
But the local black community, and others like it across the nation, sounds like it is not prepared to accept that message. They've been told for too long how they are victims and Trayvon is just another one.
Despicable race baiters such as the author of that New York Times article, and the sociologist quoted in it, carefully nurture that attitude. Local leaders pick up the tune, amplifying it. The local educational system, mostly dominated by left-leaning teachers unions, reinforces it while simultaneously ensuring that the locals are handicapped in trying to ever break out of that cultural matrix.
The end result is a community culturally isolated from its larger society. It's members reinforce each others prejudices, and nurture old grievances. They find themselves unsuited for life outside their local community, because they lack the education to fit in anywhere else. This becomes yet more evidence that the outside world has it in for them.
Thus is fulfilled the dreams of the southern white segregationists. Blacks are encouraged to stay in their own culturally isolated communities.** They are encouraged to believe they are somehow different and cannot mix with outside communities. Their poor education marks them as second class citizens.
Who would have thought that government dependence programs, corrupt Democratic city politicians, and a biased leftist media would accomplish what the white segregationists could not?
For me, it's one more reason to despise the American left. I hate what they have done to my fellow citizens. I despair when I realize that a typical inner-city resident has no reasonable hope of social mobility, and is stuck in a cycle of government dependence, generation after generation. I shake my head at the nonsense peddled to them by the left and by the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Barack Obama.
I hate that one of the more likely outcomes of the Zimmerman trial is that, like the Rodney King affair, black neighborhoods will end up getting torched and looted – by blacks.***
Hey, New York Times and all your "compassionate" leftist race-baiters – does this make you happy?
* Like the race-baiting one in the article, who complained that the non-credible, borderline illiterate star witness for the state was "mammyfied".
** As one of the effects, just look at how many wealthy suburbs of major American cities are lily-white.
*** I hope it doesn't happen, and my incurable optimism says maybe the evidence is so clear in this trial that it won't. But lately, my pessimistic side has a better track record than my optimistic side.
Obama probably didn't overtly order the IRS Tea Party targeting–and that makes it worse
Obama's shills have settled in on a long-term talking point concerning the IRS scandal. They say something along the lines of "Obama didn't tell the IRS to target anyone for political reasons. That's just crazy. And, since you can't pin anything on Obama, there's no scandal here."
There are two clear logical fallacies in this position.
First, it's a strawman argument. I don't know anyone anywhere on the political spectrum who is saying that Obama actually issued any directives to anyone to start the targeting. In one of my previous posts about it, I explicitly said
Even if Obama isn't directly involved (and he would have to be sand-poundingly stupid to have issued actual directives that resulted in this) his rhetoric towards these groups was a contributing factor, so he bears some responsibility.
Along the same lines, one of our commenters (jpm100) wrote this morning:
…these orders didn't necessarily have to come from the Whitehouse. The organization is corrupted by years democratic nepotism and recent leadership influenced by Team Obama and the tone of non-accountability set by the Whitehouse. Team Obama knew the kind of people they were appointing. These people knew what Team Obama wants. And they knew the worst consequence for them would be a job change to some Democrat Party position or some job with a Democrat benefactor. So they just did it.
The Whitehouse could be involved, but other than ensuring no serious consequences after the fact, it doesn't have to be.
These comments also point up the second logical fallacy. Big-government fanciers really don't want to face up to the possibility that the federal government is just as out of control as those on the right have been saying for years (or decades). They would very much like to pretend that there's no scandal here.
So they use a complete non sequitur. "Obama didn't give the directive" –> "There's no scandal."
This is stupid even by standards of leftist argument. Political targeting by the IRS is a serious and scandalous problem no matter how it started.
We know the political targeting is there. The attempted leftist misdirection that it wasn't politically motivated and that "progressive groups were targeted too" failed just as badly as the "doctored emails" Benghazi talking point.
Two senior IRS bureaucrats have now taken the 5th. The FBI is stonewalling an investigation that Congress ordered. It's possible, or even likely, that the targeting affected the outcome of the 2012 elections.
So we have a serious, serious scandal. I said in the earlier post that
The IRS scandal is bigger than Watergate, bigger than Benghazi, bigger than Fast and Furious, bigger than Iran-Contra, bigger than Monicagate – bigger than any other scandal for the federal government in my lifetime.
The reason I believe that is what the scandal says about the federal bureaucracy. The one agency that is supposed to be scrupulously non-partisan is revealed as having chosen sides in the partisan debate.
It doesn't matter if Obama ordered it.* All he had to to was put forth enough "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" rhetoric for the IRS bureaucracy to know they likely would not be punished by him for doing it.**
It would only take one other essential ingredient – an IRS bureaucracy sympathetic to the Obama administration and hostile to his political opponents. That's what the scandal shows us – that the supposedly non-partisan bureaucracy, the one we all have to deal with whether we like it or not, is now a de facto arm of political leftism.
We have additional evidence for this. We know that the IRS favors Obama in political contributions:
While IRS employees generally donated to Obama by a 4-to-1 ratio, the lawyers for that particular federal agency donated to Obama by an astounding 20-to-1 ratio, according to Robert Anderson, associate professor of law at Pepperdine University School of Law.
Lawyers are relevant because they are the ones taking the lead in writing regulations, litigating cases, and making delicate legal judgment calls in borderline cases.
The result is a solvent that is eating away at our civil society. Once half the country no longer trusts the government bureaucracy to even carry out it's most basic functions in a non-partisan way, the seeds are sown for a terrible reckoning.
That's what makes it even worse that the targeting probably was not ordered by Obama. Assuming he didn't overtly order it, and the IRS bureaucrats came up with it on their own, means we are getting much closer to that reckoning that we thought.
* I'm not completely dismissing the possibility that someone in the White House did start the ball rolling. Probably not Obama, though – at most his role might have been some casual musing about how those Tea Party groups were getting pretty uppity, and someone should check into them. I'd be flabbergasted if any hard evidence turned up that he directly ordered the targeting.
** There is ample evidence that the Obama administration will cover for its allies reflexively. See the Black Panther voter intimidation case for an example.
IRS investigation still lags–I'm guessing they can't find anyone who wants the job
Via Instapundit, I see that an attorney representing Tea Party groups says:
"I have no reason to believe there is an investigation. It appears to me the Obama administration is only talking to itself," Mitchell stated in an e-mail.
The FBI announced the supposed investigation over six weeks ago. Three weeks later, FBI Director Robert Mueller said he didn't know who the lead investigator is or how many agents are assigned.
Unlike most of the misdirection and obfuscation in the IRS scandal, I think he was telling the truth, and I think the reason is simple: at that point, and maybe even up to now, there may not be a lead investigator.
The FBI clearly doesn't want to do this investigation. If the IRS targeting scandal is as bad as it appears so far, the investigation is going to be long and messy, and possibly end up sending some federal bureaucrats to jail. I doubt this outcome has much appeal to other federal bureaucrats.
I don't know much about how the FBI operates. I don't know how much influence investigators have over the work that is assigned to them. But if they have any influence at all, even informal influence, then it's quite possible that assignments to the investigative team are being passed around inside the FBI like a hot potato.
Put yourself inside the head of someone at the FBI being assigned to investigate the IRS. Here are some of the thoughts I imagine you could have:
- "If I find something really bad, the Obama administration isn't going to like it. Or me, for bringing it out. Will they torpedo me? Will I find myself being smeared?"
- "What if I find some real wrongdoing, and someone at the IRS decides to retaliate?"
- "Taking down the IRS could mean the FBI is next. We've had our own share of messes over the years."
- "No matter how this thing turns out, my career is probably going to take a hit."
Given the realities of the situation, if you worked at the FBI, would you want to be on the investigative team? And if you get stuck on it, are you more interested in getting to the bottom of the mess or mollifying the political class to minimize the impact on you personally?
The FBI has been cruising on a reputation of professionalism that I think vanished in fact long ago. From their incompetent labs to suppressing information to protect Obama, they are far more political and far less professional than they would like to pretend.
Given that problem, will the FBI be motivated and capable enough to get to the bottom of the scandal? I doubt it. Oh, we'll have a pro-forma investigation at some point. But I'm betting we'll find out a lot more through the lawsuits launched by Tea Party groups. We might find even more with a special prosecutor if the Democrats would allow one to be appointed, but in their own craven political interests, they probably won't.
Somewhere on the federal side, a scapegoat will eventually be found, possibly two or three. They will be fired, and the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party will work overtime selling the "Nothing more to see, time to move along" narrative.
They have to. The left-leaning political class recognizes the possible damage if they can't contain this scandal. It was bad enough when the media chose sides in the left-vs-right political battle. If those on the right also become convinced that the entire federal bureaucracy has similarly chosen sides, then they will likely conclude that our current political differences can't possibly be decided through normal political means. They will feel, rightly, that the system is rigged against them.
Which would mean that they come to the same conclusion many of us came to a while back.
Today's attempted narrative on the IRS scandal: A Republican in the IRS says "Nothing to see here"
Since the Clinton era, we've seen the left retreat from reality into a dependence on post-modern narrative. They don't even bother to hide it; they talk about narrative all the time, and they've reached the point where "the fact is" has become a public speaking tic for Democrats that really means "what I prefer you to believe is" or "the accepted leftist narrative is".*
Narrative isn't about reality; the post-modern leftists don't even think there is such a thing as objective reality. Narrative is about what you can get people to believe.
When the left is really having trouble finding a narrative that will stick, they like to use misdirection. For example, they will pull out a single aspect of an issue, even if the aspect was made up or planted just for the purpose, and try to push the meme that "because of this one thing, the rest doesn't matter".
We saw the attempt with Benghazi, and the supposedly "doctored" emails. One of our own leftist commenters pushed and pushed on the idea that, because the Republicans doctored emails, the whole Benghazi controversy was obviously ginned up by the Republicans to embarrass Obama, and therefore wasn't a "real scandal".
Again, reality doesn't matter. The Republicans didn't even get those emails. They got summaries. The summaries came from ABC News, and the Republicans presented what they received. But to a committed leftist and Obama apologist, so what? They're Republicans! Stop paying attention to stuff like dead ambassadors, bad decisions, and the earlier, failed misdirection about the video. Just dismiss the whole thing because (I claim) Republicans doctored emails.**
The latest attempt of that type in the IRS scandal is to put forth some schmoe in the Cincinnati office who says there's no evidence Obama is involved, and is (gasp!) a conservative Republican.
This is simple misdirection. First, the guy just describes himself as a conservative Republican. Doesn't mean he really is. We've seen plenty of cases in the past where these supposedly conservative or independent people involved in a situation turned out to be anything but.
Second, the person who put this out, the consistently idiotic Congressman Elijah Cummings, refused to release the full transcript. He released the parts that created the impression he wanted.
So there's plenty of full story still to come out. That, of course, didn't stop Joan Walsh at Salon from crowing "Elijah Cummings outplays Darrell Issa", as if this were some kind of tennis match instead of a deadly serious problem that threatens the very legitimacy of the federal government.
Even if he turns out to have voted straight ticket Republican back to the beginning of time, it doesn't change some of the basic facts:
- Groups were targeted because of political ideology
- People in Washington signed the letters demanding that were part of the targeting effort
- No one anywhere along the line, no matter what the philosophy, raised a flag about the targeting
This bespeaks a partisan, authoritarian culture in the IRS as an institution. As Dale is fond of pointing out, it's hard to see how that can possibly be fixed without changing the tax system in such a way that we eliminate the IRS.
That will not stop desperate Obama apologists from seizing on this narrative the way a starving coyote seizes a squirrel. They will state the "established fact" that a conservative Republican says Obama wasn't involved, and use that as an excuse to hand wave away everything else that anyone says about the IRS scandal. Here is Cummings himself:
"Based upon everything I've seen, the case is solved," he said. "If it were me, I would wrap this case up and move on."
This is ridiculous. The IRS scandal is bigger than Watergate, bigger than Benghazi, bigger than Fast and Furious, bigger than Iran-Contra, bigger than Monicagate – bigger than any other scandal for the federal government in my lifetime. Teapot Dome isn't close to this. Even if Obama isn't directly involved (and he would have to be sand-poundingly stupid to have issued actual directives that resulted in this) his rhetoric towards these groups was a contributing factor, so he bears some responsibility.
None of that is going to change because the leftists have found a new piece of misdirection. Which won't stop them from bleating about it for while to avoid any real argument, of course.
* Even some Republicans have picked up this tic. Just goes to show that if you lie down with Demos, you get up with tics….
** Have you noticed that the doctored email narrative excuse is mostly gone now? It didn't stick as a narrative, because it was obviously false-to-fact from the outset. That didn't stop leftists from pushing it as a narrative, of course, because they don't have a connection with reality. They just realized it didn't work after a while, and moved on to something else. I will be shocked the first time one of them says "Yeah, that was wrong. The Republicans didn't really doctor emails." The narrative may be out of the limelight, but the leftists still believe it because it feels so good to believe it.
You don't say: "New IRS head says taxpayers no longer trust agency"
Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel says the taxpayers don't trust the IRS, and he intends to conduct "a thorough review of what went wrong and how to fix it."
Just a suggestion, Danny, but why don't you start by telling these folks to either tell us the full story or hit the road? Treasury IG: No IRS employee interviewed by us would acknowledge who ordered the targeting of conservatives
The problems of a post-modern legal system
A columnist at the Washington Post (via Insty) looks at the Rosen case, and finds some problems with the logic at the Justice Department.
The essential question is the definition of criminal conduct. It's against federal law for authorities to "search a newsroom for the purpose of obtaining work product or documentary materials relating to a criminal investigation." This presumably applies to reporters' emails as well.
The law makes an exception if a reporter is suspected of criminal behavior. That's why Rosen was named a co-conspirator – that's the only way the Justice Department could get a judge to go along with their fishing expedition. In the Post column, the columnist Erik Wemple says:
It [the Justice Department] told a judge that Rosen may well have committed a violation of the Espionage Act as it pursued its e-mail search warrant.
But it turns out that the Justice Department apparently has no tangible evidence of any criminal behavior by Rosen. They've already said they have no intention of prosecuting him.
David Schultz, a lawyer for the AP it it's own Justice Department scandal, spots the contradiction in that:
"They've done the expedient thing that allows them to get what they want without giving the press an opportunity to object," says Schulz. "If they did not believe Rosen was committing a crime, they shouldn't have been invoking that part of the PPA. Either they were really accusing him of a crime or they weren't. I mean, you can't have it both ways."
Clearly, Mr. Schultz does not understand post-modern reasoning. For today's leftists, there are no contradictions when someone is defending the left. That's because they merely change definitions as necessary to eliminate the contradiction.
Look at their recent attempted re-definition of the word "scandal". If you ask a typical English speaker what a scandal is, they'll describe a situation where a person or organization got caught doing something they were not supposed to do – often illegal, usually unethical, and typically embarrassing. The IRS targeting of conservative groups, the Benghazi debacle and subsequent cover-up, and the Justice Department abuses of the AP and Fox News obviously fit that definition.
To the left, though, the word "scandal" means whatever they need it to mean to further the leftist cause. So they have taken up the mantra that these things are not "real scandals", with the implication that they are not scandals at all. They want to own the terminology in every discussion, and bend it to whatever suits their present argument. That's why I've stopped arguing with them. By the fundamentals of their own philosophy, it's impossible for them to lose an argument because the objective standards of logic, reason, and reality don't apply to them. To them, the only thing left is "narrative", and they reserve the right to hold onto their own narrative no matter how obviously nonsensical it might be.
The narrative rules all for a post-modernist because it's fundamental to post-modernism that words have no objective meaning. Just as there is no objective reality to them, there is no objective meaning either. A word means whatever a leftist can convince the present listener that it means, and the leftist reserves the right to redefine the word for another listener tomorrow if that helps promote tomorrow's narrative.
The problem is that a legal system depends upon reliable meaning of words. If words can be redefined to suit the whims of someone in power, then no one can ever know whether they are obeying a law or not.
The Obama administration is so steeped in post-modern leftism that they don't get this, or don't care. So we see Holder's Justice Department adapting the word "co-conspirator" and claiming criminal behavior to justify it, all out of pure expedience. They needed to accuse Rosen of being a co-conspirator to get what they wanted, so they simply told a judge that he was one. Hey, it's just a word! It has no objective meaning, so we can redefine it to mean whatever we want!
As always, when they do that, they don't think they've done anything wrong. They feel no shame or remorse over it. They get legitimately confused when a contradiction is pointed out, because in their world-view, there is no contradiction.
To a leftist, "co-conspirator" can mean one thing when leftists are in power, and something quite different when they are not. If Bush/Ashcroft had done exactly what they did, the very same people in the Justice Department who named Rosen a co-conspirator would be howling about it 24/7. They would be hectoring anyone who would listen that a journalist with no evidence of criminal behavior can't possibly be named a '"co-conspirator", and probably beating the drum for impeachment for anyone involved. But since they're the ones doing it, the reaction among the left has been muted and mostly apathetic.
It is obvious to we Enlightenment types that it's not possible to have a functioning legal system for a free society based on expedient re-definition of the terms used in laws. That's why the Right has been opposing this folderol all the way back to FDR's flouting of clear Constitutional language. It's clear to anyone who understands plain English that a person growing wheat in their backyard for their own use has no relationship to "interstate commerce" as anyone before 1930 understood it. But it was expedient to simply pretend the term meant something else, to rationalize giving the government more power.
So this problem isn't new. The difference today is that it used to be rare. Now it's business as usual. Clinton's defense against everything questionable that he ever did depended on re-defining words such as "sex" and "is". Holder's Justice Department clearly thinks they can simply dictate what words like "co-conspirator" mean.
A legal system allowing such re-definition to suit those in power is built on sand, awaiting the first strong shake to liquefy and bring it down.

NASA Offering Contracts To Encourage Asteroid Mining 153

from the gold-in-the-sky dept.
An anonymous reader writes "Two private companies, Deep Space Industries and Planetary Resources, have received contracts from NASA to study asteroid redirection and will pursue their plans of asteroid mining. From the article: "Deep Space Industries is planning to build a number of dense spacecrafts called FireFlies, and they plan on sending the satellites on one way missions to gather information about the density, shape, composition and size of an asteroid. They also have plans to build a spacecraft called Dragonfly, which has the purpose of catching asteroids. The asteroid material will be collected and returned to Earth by 'Harvesters'. Planetary Resources, on the other hand, plans to build a number of middle sized and small telescopes that will be capable of examining asteroids near the planet Earth for economic potential. They already have the telescopes Arkyd 300, Arkyd 200 and the Arkyd 100, each having its own specific systems."

JamesI.Jan 9, 2005This is THE BEST racing sim for XBOX. The simulation - the feel of the cars as you race them is nearly identical to Gran Turismo 3 - the single greatest racing sim ever created. Project Gotham 2 by contrast is awful with its "honking" noise every time you hit something, and the over all feel is way off from what should be expected from a racing sim. The only real shortcoming is the inability to have more than one single game save.… Full Review »
