When is lack of “privilege” a good thing?
When you commit a crime that’s part of “Feminism’s” narrative.
When a rape is committed against women at “elite” institutions (or not even actually committed, in some cases), by fellow student’s, it’s national news.
When the victim is a girl that works for a living, and the perp is just a common criminal? The crickets care:
Is it just hypothetically possible that Saint Paul – a city run by people whose only experience with business is working for non-profits that harass actual productive businesspeople – has gotten the city into an epic Ponzi scheme?
Neil DeMause at Deadspin talks with a group of sports economists that aren’t especially bullish on this year’s hipster diversion, the MLS:
“When Forbes last looked at MLS finances, it had to perform mathematical contortions to explain why franchise values are rising even as annual losses continue to mount.”
“That business model and this financial trajectory suggests that MLS’s sea of red ink is either a loss leader or a Ponzi scheme, and it’s not always easy to tell the difference between the two until it’s too late. Several sports economists, though, aren’t optimistic.”
“The best indicator of expansion franchise worth is success at the bottom of the league” in revenues, says Stanford economist Roger Noll. For MLS, “that still looks more like AAA baseball except for a few million per year more in TV revenue.”
But as DeMause explains, the TV revenue isn’t going to happen – not the way the league is currently run – because there are already better leagues on the TV. Mexican “Liga MX” games get better ratings; English Premiere League games on Saturday mornings get better numbers than MLS games in prime time.
Why?
Because they have better soccer.
But won’t the MLS improve?
Not the way it’s currently set up. Unlike *every* successful sports league, all MLS players get paid by the league – not their teams. Instead of teams competing with teams around the US and world for talent that’ll make actual soccer fans interested, the league as a whole competes with leagues that are made up of teams that are competing with each other, and the whole world, for talent. As a result, the payroll for the *entire MLS league* is lower than the *average* payroll for a single Premiere League team. MLS spends at about the same rate as the Bulgarian national league . The MLS model is designed to *control espenses*, not foster the competition that creates a watchable product.
So all those new immigrants that are supposed to keep MLS afloat? They’ve already got *good* leagues to watch. MLS is to Premier or the German Bundesliga or even Liga MX as the Saint Paul Saints are to the Twins, in terms of talent. Why would people from parts of the world were soccer is the main sport bother with a product that’s not only inferior, but *designed to stay that way*?
“Whether current MLS honchos actually have this in mind now, or are still guzzling their own Kool-Aid, is tough to say. But for most big-market teams and early adopters, even if the expand-o-ganza goes south, it’s a fair bet they’ll be left with a chair when the music stops—franchises like New York and Los Angeles should be safe and potentially profitable, even if the likes of Raleigh or Nashville might be screwed.”
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Governor Dayton appointed a Hmong woman to fill a vacant judgeship in Ramsey County. He has a track record of history-making judicial appointments: first Native American woman, first openly gay woman, first Hispanic appellate court judge . . . all very progressive and helping to increase the diversity of people sitting on the bench. But I wonder . . . does it do any good?
Suppose I am a Black man who has been accused of robbing a gay man. Can I request the Black judge instead of the gay judge? After all, isn’t that the purpose of increasing diversity on the bench — to have people with different backgrounds who can bring empathy and perspective to the proceedings? If I can’t pick my judge, then what difference does it make to have diversity on the bench?
Worse, if we empty the bench of hard-hearted old men who judge the case on the law and the facts without regard to who the parties are, and replace them with empathetic young women eager to understand the plight of underdogs, will the rest of the judicial system become like family court?

SCENE: Dayton, Ohio – 1904. A group of protesters – young activists from Snofe Lakes, California – chant slogans in front of the Leach and Bitwell Auto Company; “Keep The Roads Democratic!”, “What do we want? Road Neutrality. When do we want it? Now!” and “Cars are a Public Utility”. After a few moments, Arthur LIBRELLE climbs up on the soapbox.
LIBRELLE: What we seek is highway neutrality. We demand that the government treat cars and roads as the public utility they truly are. That way, in thirty years, your children will be able to buy a car like this (LIBRELLE points to a 1904 Leach and Bitwell roadster – a two seater with a hand-crank starter that is basically a glorified go-kart with a two cylinder engine and a couple of chairs which lists at $5,000 – which is about $200,000 2017 dollars) – and their children, and their children’s children, as long as California is the capitol fo the horseless carriage industry. Nobody will be able, using just more money, to buy a better car!
(Hezekiah MERG chimes in): But if you treat the budding auto industry like a utility, there’ll be no impetus for someone like, say, Henry Ford or Louis Chevrolet, to respond to the market demand and build a cars that, before long, will be every big as good as the specimen you see here, for a fraction of the price.
LIBRELLE: (Scoffing as the young people from Snofe Lakes laugh uproariously) Oh, it is to laugh! The idea that people from Detroit will ever build cars, or that technology will ever surpass what we see in front of us! No, indeed; let us regulate cars and roads like utilities, that they may ever be as successful as the crown jewel of Los Angeles’s transportation system, our streetcars!

SCENE: Walll Street, – 1983. A group of protesters – young activists from Slough Fnakes, Vermont – chant slogans in front of the Motorola headquasrters building, wielding protest signs; “Keep Cell Phones Democratic!”, “What do we want? Cell Neutrality. When do we want it? Now!” and “Car Phones are a Public Utility”. After a few moments, Ashton LIBRELLE climbs up on the soapbox.
LIBRELLE: What we seek is car phone neutrality. We demand that the government treat car phones and suitcase phones as the public utility they truly are. That way, in thirty years, your children will be able to buy a mobile phone like this (LIBRELLE holds up a 1984 Motoirola cell phone – the size of at World War II walkie talkie, that cost $10,000 in 2017 dollars plus $1,000 a month and $4 a minute for talk times) – and their children, and their children’s children, as long as Motorola remains unchallenged atop the car phone industry. Nobody will be able, using just more money, to buy a better phone!
(Hank MERG chimes in): But if you treat the budding cellular communiations industry like a utility, there’ll be no impetus for someone like, say, Steve Jobs or Victor Droid, to respond to the market demand and build device that, before long, will not only do everything the phone your holding does thousands of times better, but do it for about one percent of the inllation adjusted cost. Indeed, in 24 years, I predict that non-profits will be giving away phones that are millions of times more powerful per dollar, and criminals will buy them to use once and throw away!.
LIBRELLE: (Scoffing as the young people fromSlough Fnakes laugh uproariously) Oh, it is to laugh! The idea that phones will be a commodity, like Pet Rocks, or that technology will ever surpass what we see in front of us! No, indeed; let us regulate car and suitcase phones like utilities, that they may ever be as successful as the public education system!

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
If the pre-ghost Ebenezer Scrooge were alive today, he’d be a Liberal. The post-ghost Scrooge would be a Conservative.
Pre-ghost Scrooge was asked to contribute to a fund for the poor, because Christmas is a time when want is keenly felt and abundance rejoices. Scrooge declines, citing the Poor Law, Workhouse and Prisons as places for the poor to find help, which he supports through his taxes. Those who are too proud to take government help should die, and thereby decrease the surplus population.
Bell ringers are not allowed outside Target, where good Liberals shop. The poor will get no help from holiday shoppers there.
Post-ghost Scrooge continued to support those same institutions but also donated to the fund for the poor and in addition, took a personal interest in Tiny Tim’s welfare, digging into his own pocket to pay for medical care.
Conservatives routinely give more to charity than Liberals.
“A Christmas Carol” is not only a heart-warming story of personal redemption, but also a piercing commentary on politics that has lost none of its relevance.
Joe Doakes
Pre-ghost Scrooge obeyed one iron-clad “progressive” tenet; he saw people, individuals, as liabilities to be supported to everyone’s detriment. Post-ghost, he saw them as the miracles a good conservative sees.

We’ve fallen a little behind on our World War I series. Over the next few months, we’re going to work to get caught-up to the calendar.
After a year that had seen carnage on a historical scale, the opening salvos around the Chemin des Dames region of Western France almost appeared as modest. 850,000 men, a joint Franco-British task force, lashed out against Germany’s Hindenburg Line with 7,000 guns and 160 tanks on April 16th, 1917.
The operation, the brainchild of France’s newly promoted commander of it’s northern armies, Robert Nivelle, had all the hallmarks of the sort of offensives that had dominated the Western Front since 1915 – massive artillery bombardments, human waves attacks, gruesome casualties and continued stalemate. Only the reaction of the men who participated would differentiate the assaults from the dozens that had preceded it.
A general with the penchant towards the dramatic, Nivelle had promised that he could bring about the end of the deadlock in the West within 48 hours of the first shots fired from his offensive. Instead, he would usher in the near total collapse of the French military.
French troops, in gas masks, await orders to go over the top. By the start of 1917, 1 million Frenchmen, out of a population of 40 million men of all ages, had died in the Great War
By the spring of 1917, the dividing lines in the Great War appeared less to be between the Entente and Central Powers, then between those nations willing to adapt and those who stubbornly refused to change. (more…)

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
#metoo is the Twitter hashtag for people who want to join the parade of victims of sexual harassment – women, men, other; everyone can join. And it’s been amazingly effective at bringing down very rich and powerful men in Hollywood, the media and politics.
The same people who celebrate the success of #metoo insist all cultures are equal, but is that really so? Do we believe the female and homosexual sexual harassment victims participating in the #metoo campaign would have had identical success in, say, Iran?
Joe Doakes
Movements like that can’t exist in a place that isn’t fundamentally wired to accept them, convenient or not.
It reminds me of the story Dinesh D’Souza wrote about his high school history teacher in India, who noted that had Mathama Gandhi lived under HItler, rather than the very liberal (by comparison) British colonial system, “he’d have ended up as a lampshade”.
And…Iran? Try Japan, or China.
Pat DiNizio of the Smitherens is dead at 66.
“The who?”
Siddown, kid.
The Smithereens, from Carteret, NJ, need no introduction to anyone who was listening to the radio in the mid-eighties. Crisp, taut melodic power-pop with just enough garage to make it fun and just enough polish to make it memorable,
And against the stereotype backdrop of eighties music – glossy stylied synth-pop, slick hair metal, and of course the golden age of the Big Arena Rock Anthem, it was defiantly retro, not as a stylistic statement, but for the sheer love of the sound.
“Blood and Roses” was first:
“Only a Memory” was probably my favorite:
“A Girl Like You” was, if memory serves, their biggest hit:
But I’ve learned the hard way; never ask if it could get worse.
…the bureaucracy – any bureaucracy – runs by rules of its own. Those rules usually have more to do with sustaining bureaucracy itself than to solving whatever problem or administering whatever service that bureaucracy is supposed to be doing.
On the other? Read past the bureaucratese in this report and it appears that the Minneapolis Police Department has been shaving a lot of corners on psychological testing of its new recruits.
Does this have anything to do with, among other things, the Damond shooting? Bureaucratic checkbox-checkers running amok?
Maybe a little bit of both?

RINOs demand amnesty for illegal aliens before year-end.
Yes, I know, they’re claiming it’s only for a few people, and they’re doing it for the children, and I’m a hard-hearted bastard for doubting them. But this is not my first rodeo. I remember 1986. I know a camel’s nose when I see one.
“They are American in every way except their immigration status.” That is precisely correct. They are NOT Americans, any more than the other 7 billion people on the planet who also are not Americans. We should treat all Not Americans the same.
It doesn’t matter whether they snuck across the border on their own, or with a friend, or with a parent, or rode here on top of a train. They had no right to come. Being here doesn’t give them a right to stay, to bring in their extended families, to work at jobs Americans could have had, to collect welfare benefits Americans pay to help our fellow citizens of America.
No deal.

And SCENE
We’ve fallen a little behind on our World War I series. Over the next few months, we’re going to work to get caught-up to the calendar.
For almost two and a half years, the crew of the German auxiliary cruiser SMS Cormoran had sat in Apra Harbor in the U.S. territory of Guam. The cruiser, captured from the Russians off of Korea early in the war in 1914, had stopped in Guam in December of that year in an effort to resupply themselves with coal. With the United States a neutral power, and the island already significantly short of coal, the Cormoran‘s request was refused. Since then, the ship had sat at anchor while the German crew settled on the island, awaiting the end of the war in tropical peace.
On April 7th, 1917, the Germans noticed that the 3 seven-inch guns on nearby Mount Tenjo had been turned to face them. The schooner the USS Supply pulled close to the Cormoran, and demanded the ship surrender. The Germans promptly set to work attempting to scuttle the vessel instead.
In response, the U.S. opened fire over the Cormoran‘s bow. Fearing the Americans would soon overpower the ship’s crew, the speed of the Cormoran‘s scuttling was hazardously increased. An early explosion would led to the deaths of 9 crew members and make Apra Harbor the Cormoran‘s final resting place.
Just hours earlier – a day earlier by the time difference from Washington – the United States had formally declared war against Germany. America had joined the Great War.
The U.S. enters the First World War – a variety of factors had led to this eventual decision…
“It is a war against all nations…The challenge is to all mankind. Each nation must decide for itself how it will meet it….
The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make. We are but one of the champions of the rights of mankind. We shall be satisfied when those rights have been made as secure as the faith and the freedom of nations can make them.”
—President Woodrow Wilson, addressing Congress, April 2nd, 1917
It was an address Woodrow Wilson had fought against having to make. The president who had “Kept Us Out of War,” and as recently as the end of 1916 believed he could negotiate an end to Europe’s bloodshed, had rapidly seen the nation’s appetite for neutrality vanish with the publication of the Zimmerman Telegraph a month earlier. The tide towards war had been building far before that, as Wilson told crowds in October of 1916 that “this is the last war of the kind, or of any kind that involves the world, that the United States can keep out of.” Having just been inaugurated for a second term on a platform of peace, Woodrow Wilson now stood before Congress asking for a declaration of war.

(You also have a lot of people who ishould known better calling last night’s Alabama special election a “referendum on Republican policy”. It wasn’t. Polling showed Alabamians support the GOP (Hillary came in slightly below “None of the Above” in Alabama last year) but were uncomfortable with the allegations against Moore.
But I’ll tell you what, Democrats; pump a lot of money into Alabama for the midterms.
Side Bet: Any action on the statement that “The allegations against Moore will fall apart shortly, but that’s OK, because they were only intended to last until December 12?

Apparently, there is an internet site called Tumblr. Word of the Day: Tumblrina.
From “The Other McCain blog”:
The user base of Tumblr is disproportionately female, by a 2-to-1 ratio, and Tumblr users also tend to be young, badly educated and devoted to progressive ideals of “social justice.” This gave rise to the slang term Tumblrina, defined variously by Urban Dictionary as:
An often unattractive, butthurt, and obnoxious female user of the popular site Tumblr.
Someone who complains all day on Tumblr about how oppressed they are by men, when 99% of ranting cases were provoked would be meaningless or of utmost minute significance to the average person.Tumblr addicted female who is defined by her sensitivities and adherence to popular tumblr feminist opinions and/or trends resulting in undue drama and walls of text.
A dramatic, self-righteous tumblr-er who exaggerates prejudice and injustice . . . and tries to make other people feel shitty about existing. Also known as a social justice warrior or sjw, the tumblrina may list ridiculous “triggers” and claim that anyone unlike them has “privilege” and should apologize for being born.
Wow, I think I know some of those people!
Joe Doakes
Noooooooooooo comment.
When I first saw this article, I saw it as an example of how Big Left approaches dating and the courtship process,. I figured that if this was their approach to coupling, they will stop reproducing completely within a generation.
The article is about what “intersectional feminists” should ask on first dates. And the writer establishes their authority with a bang:
As a queer femme of color…
Among “intersectional” theory buffs, calling oneself a “queer femme of color” is similar to walking into a room and saying “I am Amazon’s vice president of development”, or “I am a lieutenant general “.; It’s an exceptionally high rank within the “intersectional” hierarchy. It’s the trifecta of injury sectionalism; gay, female (or at least identifying as such) and some form of “color”.
And I thought – “What prime fisking material”.
And I almost got started with exactly that – until it occurred to me:
And that’s this: as unlikely as it is that many children will be produced by couples who meet the requirements the author above details, it’s a big country and a bigger world; somewhere, somehow, children will be born and/or adopted.
And then raised in households run by “couples” – I hesitate to call them that, really, since those who start a “relationship” with a lecture on intersectionalism are likely emotional bullies, and those whio’d form couples with them are people who are just fine being bullied.
And then, those offspring will enter their teenage years, and encounter a real world outside the academic identity-mongering victomology-focused bubble their “parents” will raise them in.
And like any teenager, they’ll rebel. They’ll cast about for their own identity.
All by way of saying, in about 2035 through 2040, I see a wave of popularity for Ted Nugent, for “Playboy” (the vintage ones, not the post-Hef PC variety), and fraternity drinking and hazing like we haven’t seen since the eighties.
It’s inevitable.
It was five years ago yestarday that Jacob Roberts – a loser and delusional narcissist – walked into the Clackamas Mall in Portland Oregon with an AR15, a pistol and a couple hundred rounds of ammunition, apparently intent on giving his pathetic excuse of a life a big finish.
He murdered two Christmas shoppers – Cindy Yuille and Steven Forsythe – and was by all accounts intent on murdering many more; the load of ammo was a dead giveaway.
Then, Nick Meli – an off-duty security guard with a carry permit and a concealed Glock – drew down on Roberts.
The media’s and law enforcement’s accounts vary from this point – a point that the media holds against the notion that Meli is a hero. But by all rational accounts, Roberts saw the gun aimed at him, and did exactly what the FBI, in its study of spree killers after Columbine, said he’d do; delusional narcissists like Roberts (as opposed to terrorists like Omar Matteen) either run away, give up, or kill themselves rather than face the consequences.
Which is what Jacob Roberts did; he retreated into a Gap store and, shortly, shot himself.
The media and Big Gun Control has done its best over the years to bury this story. Meli himself has been very reticent about being in the public eye.
But it’s the position of this blog that Meli was, and is, a hero who saved many lives that day, and kept Clackamas Mall off the list of infamy that Sandy Hook school would join three days later.
Other than different denouements, the episodes had a lot in common; mentally-ill losers who planned to leave this mortal coil in a blaze of demented, twisted “glory”; buildings full of captive victims; and the big one – both were “gun free zones”. Clackamas was posted (but, like the Mall of America, those postings were of dubious legal force, although I don’t plan on being the test case); Sandy Hook, being a school, was “gun free” by federal and state law, backed up by potential felony charges.
Which did those kids a lot of good, didn’t it?
Anyway – a salute.
LInwood “Woody” Kaine was part of an illegal “counterprotest” that devolved with all the spontaneity of a Hillary Clinton flash mob into an organized, violent attack on “March 4 Trump” rally attendees last.
Kaine was originally charged with “obstructing the legal process” – a gross misdemeanor – as well as “fleeing a police officer” and “concealing identity”. In a just world – or if he’d been a conservsative – he’d have been charged with some degree of petty terrorism or another.
Which is what the little prick got away with. One puny misdemeanor and a $150 fine.
John Choi knew he’d never do lunch at the Lex again if the little nancyboy got slapped on the wrist too hard. .
The patrician son of a high-ranking member of the “progressive” elite got away with being parat of a crowd of wannabe-commandos who punched a 17 year old girl, hit a woman in the head with a burning smoke bomb, and bear-sprayed a group of legal protesters in the face.
LIBERAL: “Mitch – why does NPR put three “gun violence prevention” activists up against John Lott?”
MITCH: Because they couldn’t find a dozen of them to make it a fair fight.
