COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

The F Bomb



F-Bombs Heard On NFL Game On CBS TV
Jaguars Fans Watching Texans-Colts Game During Delay Caught Snafu
News4jax


A string of F-bombs by Texans safety Bernard Pollard to Colts receiver Reggie Wayne were heard on live TV.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It wasn't a play that caused heads to turn Sunday during an NFL game featuring Houston and Indianapolis, but what came out of one player's mouth.

Texans safety Bernard Pollard said the F-word to Colts receiver Reggie Wayne -- probably not something that's newsworthy, except for the fact that TV viewers heard it several times live
.
CBS Sports analysts didn't mention the microphone mistake. They went on with their regular broadcasts.

Many people in northeast Florida caught the snafu because the game was shown on CBS during the Jaguars game weather delay.
Dubose doesn't allow her 9-year-old son to say curse words, and she was upset he had to hear them on national TV.

"I guess maybe I expect them to keep in mind that these children do look up to them," NFL fan Angela Dubose said. "My son was absolutely watching, and you know as parents, we're left to kind of explain."

Jimmy Kelly is a huge football fan and expects some harsh words, but he and his football friends were still surprised.
"We just looked at each other, and I said, 'Yeah, that's exactly what he said,' and we just sort of laughed, but it was like, 'Wow!'" Kelly said.

It wasn't just the Colts-Texans game. Some watching the Jaguars-Broncos game said they could tell some explicit language was being used by looking at the lips of Denver head coach Josh McDaniels.

That's not the first time. Last year, the coach and the NFL Network took heat for airing a cursing-filled rant on live TV.
"They need to watch themselves because you never know when you're going to be on TV and what they're picking up and what you're saying," Kelly said.

"If they would remember that there are children and families getting together to watch these games, especially on a Sunday afternoon," Dubose said.

  5. After I showered this morning I decided to wear shorts which meant that I really should have shaved my legs. So after the fact, I was sitting on the side of the tub with my leg lathered up with soap and I hear, "Granny you in there?"

    "Yes, you can come in."

    My granddaughter procedes to come in and says, "You got shit all over your legs." I calmly explained to her that shit was a bad word and she shouldn't say it anymore. And then told her that it was soap on my legs.

    She ignored me and again said, "But you have shit on your legs." The second time my voice was a little louder but she still insisted, "Where did that shit come from."

    After the third time she got the message fell to the floor and pouted. She will never say that word again. I can almost guarantee it.

  19. WASHINGTON — Senior State Department and American military officials are deeply divided over the pace and scale of military aid to Yemen, which is emerging as a crucial testing ground for the Obama administration’s approach to countering the threat from Al Qaeda.

    As the terrorism network’s Yemen branch threatens new attacks on the United States, the United States Central Command has proposed supplying Yemen with $1.2 billion in military equipment and training over the next six years, a significant escalation on a front in the campaign against terrorism, which has largely been hidden from public view.

    The aid would include automatic weapons, coastal patrol boats, transport planes and helicopters, as well as tools and spare parts. Training could expand to allow American logistical advisers to accompany Yemeni troops in some noncombat roles.

    Opponents, though, fear American weapons could be used against political enemies of President Ali Abdullah Saleh and provoke a backlash that could further destabilize the volatile, impoverished country.

    I recall the food drops in Somalia around the time of Black Hawk Down which were intercepted by the local warlords and used as currency to bribe starving Somalians into submission.

  26. No. CL, chances are they were fucking WARLORDS.

    Just like there were in China, before Mao took charge.

    Where there were no Muslim Warlords. But there were Warlords, regardless.

    Warlords are not a invention of Islam.

    Genghis fucking Khan was a Warlord, he no Muslim, either.

    The Carthaginians were the enemy of Europeons before they were Islamic Libyans.

    They invaded and conquered Spain, before there was ever a Christian there.

    Geography and economics are the primary drivers, religion just a minor part of motivating the troops.

    Or the Muslim Brotherhood would not have been decimated in Hama, by the Syrian Army.

  27. William invaded and conquered England, he was no Muslim.

  28. So warlords are random outliers, operating outside any definable sphere of influence.

    Got it.

    I guess I am thinking about the 200 million dead last century from two world wars fighting totalitarian ideologies that are now redefined as nothing more than radical fringe.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Indeed, it seems that the WARLORDS of Somalia raided into Egypt, in 1600 BCE

    dates to the 17th dynasty (c.1600-1550 BC). Newspaper articles reported that the inscription mentions “a huge attack from the south on Elkab and Egypt by the Kingdom of Kush and its allies from the land of Punt.”

    Punt was then, where Somalia is now. Same geographic locale, different name, similarly afflicted by WARLORDS.

  30. That those folk have been "redefined", now, does not change the fact that they had massive industrial might, then.

    Germany an industrial giant then, as now. The Soviets in a similar position, exemplified by the sheer numbers of T34s produced.

    Somalia does not have that capacity. No Islamic country does, today.

    The Europeons excelled in the industrialization of death, the Muslims are still far, far behind.

    ReplyDelete
  31. The Muslims cannot build a competitive tank.

    None of them can.

    Its' a Europeon and American thing, industrializing death and selling the tools to whomever has the cash.

    Arms for oil.

    Or hostages, whatever the Muslims can trade for modern weapons they will. As the entirety of the Islamic whirled cannot produce a competitive killing machine, without "Western" assistance.

    It was US, real Americans, that did that deed, to ourselves. Denying our own humanity for the past 37 years.

    No Muslim, Communist, Socialist, Fascist nor Imperialist can even hold a candle, to the United States.

  40. But the Muslims, not even a pimple on the ass of the Soviets, Germans or US.

    Not a threat worthy of the name.

    One cross border raid, in 200 years of border raids, back and forth.

    From the "Shores of Tripoli" to the skyline of NY City. We've raided each others ports, US on them many times, them on US, once.

    If the Islamists are to be considered a 'monolithic' group.

    Putting our panties in wad. Panicking our citizenry and leaders.

    Then we could not even chase down the perpetrators. With the most expensive military force in the entire whirled.
    Costly and ineffective.

    Little wonder the citizens of the US are pissed, they've been ripped off.

  42. The rigid absolutist position you bring to the beginning of life seems to find no analogous ground in the potential for transformation into an existential totalitarian threat within what is essentially a 7th century society facing an historical crossroad guided only by a very disturbing book of 'religious direction'. One is digital, the other analogue. A matter of intellectual convenience I suppose.

    ReplyDelete
  43. But Muslim scholars in the West give little credence to the caliphate idyll.

    "The caliphate idea has some emotional attraction for most Muslims," says Shahram Akbarzadeh, senior lecturer in politics at Monash University. "But, at the same time, most Muslims are realistic and pragmatic.

    "They realise that a transnational entity has no chance of replacing nation-states."

  46. Saudi Arms Sale: Which War in View?

    The sheer size of the proposed $60 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia makes it worth critical reflection. The types of weapon systems in the Saudi shopping list are even more eye-catching. News outlets report that the sale is to be understood as a means of bolstering Saudi defenses and security confidence in the face of the threat from Iran. But the weapon systems in question don’t support that theory.

  57. THE OBAMA PUZZLE: THE WHOLE IS MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS

    Transatlantic Trends 2010 found that President Obama is still viewed more positively in Europe than the United States, and continues to be more popular than President George W. Bush had ever been in the 11 EU countries included in the survey. While 78% of Europeans approved of his handling of international policies in general (a slight drop from 83% in 2009), fewer than half of Europeans responded positively when asked specifically about his handling of Afghanistan and Iran. Unlike Europeans, Americans have similar or higher approval rates for many of his specific policies. The majority of Americans approved of his policies toward Russia (61%), climate change (56%), Afghanistan (54%), and Iran (52%). However, American approval for his handling the Middle East dips below the halfway mark (48%).

  58. Mideast Peace Talks

    The real danger between these two star-crossed inhabitants of the same Holy Land is not failure to negotiate; it’s the failure of the negotiations. Flashpoints in the Holy Land tend to burst after they sit down at the negotiating table, give their speeches, fail to agree, and watch the process collapse. That is when the explosions begin. That is when Palestinian terrorism reignites in Israel. People tend to resort to violence when their hopes and expectations are dashed formally and frontally, not when they are merely hoping.

    During the last couple of years, while negotiations have been decidedly on the backburner, Israel has been almost entirely free from terrorist attacks emanating from the Palestinian West Bank. Palestinian and Israeli security forces now work together to keep the peace in many West Bank cities, and Palestinian leaders even acknowledge this publicly. There’s also intelligence cooperation between the two sides. All of that could go up in smoke if these talks fail. Indeed, terrorists are likely to shed Israeli and perhaps even Palestinian blood in order to make the talks fail. So, staging a big, formal negotiating session at the seductive and languid Red Sea port of Sharm el-Sheikh is a very risky enterprise…unless Hillary knows something we don’t.

    Here’s what the formidable secretary told reporters on Wednesday: "They [the Palestinians and Israelis] are getting down to business and they have begun to grapple with the core issues that can only be resolved through face-to-face negotiations." For good measure, she added, "I believe they are serious about reaching an agreement that results in two states living side by side in peace and security."
