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."

Cain on Libya: How do you rate this response?



I saw some press reports critisizing Cain for this response to a question about Libya. It is time to go home baby. Thanks for your service, it’s been fun. Let’s get together for lunch some time.

Can you imagine the political commercials using this tape. It does make one harken to the good old days when the level of intelligence of the Ameriocan public was far more elevated:



…and can you believe this one?




…and of course we have the genius that leads us today.

  1. I don't think that was so awful. After a slow start admittedly, he concentrated on the questions about the makeup of the opposition. What's wrong with this?

    There was fighting in Libya today between the factions, probably will continue.

  2. I posted this earlier. I took it down intending to let the previous thread run out . Q posted this as well. As Rufus commented, it is rough to watch. Cain could not find Libya on an unmarked map, but he is not alone. I believe Cain was caught wondering about Libya and Liberia and was clearly confused. I had a girl who worked for me, damn good looking girl, great salesperson, but she just could not get the difference between Austria and Australia. I think it may have been Bush that tripped up on Slovenia and Slovakia.

    We are childish in our expectations about what it takes to be a president. Obama had his 57 state moment and as Commander in Chief could not recognize the word corpsman; he called them corpse-men reading his teleprompter.

    Cain could not be a worse president than either Bush or Obama, I would hope, but it is not a binary choice, yet. This is the NFL. Sorry, there are better quarter-backs on the bench.

  5. America's Best Hope for the future is voting in a President with Strong Majorities in BOTH the House of Representatives and Senate. Herman Cain cannot do that.

    We do not need more games using filibusters and other Senate delaying tactics.

    When there is a FIRE, obstructive argumentative firemen is the last thing needed. Cain to his credit does not appear to be that.

  8. Cain is falling rapidly here and has begun his second and final descent. Romneys support is very very soft. Cain was slipping even before Politico accelerated the process. His first bump had been from about three or four points up to about eight to ten. It got him notice while sparing him the searing inspection that goes with a top tier candidate. This time around, people really focused in, and discovered there was not much to see after all. About 80-percent of potential GOP voters have made no decision and are barely paying attention at this point. Gingrich seems to be leading all the others practically everywhere.

They have promoted fringe candidates and trashed those candidates that can win. A cynic could observe that the reelection of Obama would be very good for their businesses. The self-righteous gilded microphones and their counterparts in the leftist media have essentially convinced good, competent potential candidates to not even consider the personal cruelty and degradation necessary to run the gauntlet to become president. The process is a masochistic freak show. Can you imagine Boeing, IBM or Apple using such a system to select their leader. Their has been an usurpation of power in the asylum.

  25. Former Freddie Mac officials familiar with the consulting work Gingrich was hired to perform for the company in 2006 tell a different story. They say the former House speaker was asked to build bridges to Capitol Hill Republicans and develop an argument on behalf of the company’s public-private structure that would resonate with conservatives seeking to dismantle it.

    If Gingrich concluded that the company’s business model was at risk and that the housing market was a “bubble,” as he said during the debate,

    he didn’t share those concerns with Richard Syron, Freddie Mac’s chief executive officer at the time, a person familiar with the company’s internal discussions said.

    French President Nicolas Sarkozy has written to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reaffirm friendship despite what he refers to as their "differing views on the Middle East".

    Sarkozy's comments, in a condolence message to Netanyahu for the death of his father-in-law, seemed to make an effort to try to clear the air a week after a reported gaffe this month at the G20 summit in Cannes, when he was overheard telling U.S. President Barack Obama he thought Netanyahu was "a liar".



    Right…”Gaffe” hardly captures the enormity of Sarkozy’s idiocy, but we are talking about slandering the leader of the Zionist entity so, to the EU and 1600, no big deal.

    Say what you will about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, others have said far worse.

    Yitzhak Shamir, a former prime minister, once said that Netanyahu is “not a very trustworthy man.”

    He went on to call him “too egotistical,” “not very popular” and to observe that “people don’t like him.” Then, to state the very obvious, Shamir said, “I don’t like him.”

    But when it comes to Netanyahu, Obama is part of a throng of people — Israelis much more than Americans — who finds the man overbearing and duplicitous. Now we know Sarkozy feels the same way. ...

  47. Cain has said repeatedly that he has not engaged in any in­appropriate behavior and that the sexual harassment allegations against him are “baseless.” Lin Wood, Cain’s attorney, questioned Zuckerman’s credibility and argued that even if everything Zuckerman said is true, none of it refutes Cain’s recollection.

    “Herman Cain, over the course of the last 15 years, has probably had dinners and functions with thousands of people,” Wood said. “And while it may be memorable in the minds of some who met him when he was president of the National Restaurant Association, in the real world it may not have been memorable to Mr. Cain.”

    The day ended on a more positive note for Cain as a long-awaited interview with his wife aired on Fox News. Gloria Cain, who has previously steered clear of the spotlight, strongly vouched for him, saying: “I’m thinking he would have to have a split personality to do the things that were said.”

She raised $50,000,000 in a short time here, which helped immensely arming the Israelis at that time. It is a good thing for Israel to have a PM who speaks English fluently and has some connection to here. Bibi was schooled here, I believe.

  59. The Butcher-Frazier Bout

    A scramble of a life, it turned out, always looking for that one clear shot at security. But as the Butcher says, more than once: “You can’t change destiny.”

    Three years ago, the Butcher attended his 45th high school reunion in Council Bluffs. Who was there but Toddy Ann Leytham, the only one to be carried out after the Frazier-Stander fight, widowed and still harboring a crush for Ronnie. They married a year later.

    Destiny for the Butcher at 67 means driving a school bus, helping out disadvantaged kids and living in a cozy house with Toddy, his biggest fan. She wears a T-shirt that bears his younger image and the words “My Hero.” She makes reprints of boxing posters to have him sign and sell. She hangs photographs from his boxing years, including a particularly gory one from the fight with Frazier, always with him.

    People in Omaha have not forgotten that fight. And when they see Frazier’s bloodied victim around town, they call out his name. Hey, Butcher, they say. Hey, Champ.

  60. The campaign was enormously lopsided. Xcel dumped nearly $1 million into a vote ‘no’ campaign, outspending local clean energy supporters by a 10-to-1 margin and spending nearly $77 for each no vote. On the flip side, nearly every local business or newspaper endorsement (and nearly 1000 individual citizen endorsements) supported a ‘yes’ vote. Despite the financial disadvantage, the local grassroots groups won, though their margin of victory was less than 3%.

    The victory margin was small, but the clean energy and economic opportunity is enormous. According to a citizen-led and peer-reviewed study, the city could increase renewable energy production by 40 percent from multiple, local sources without increasing rates. In contrast to the $100 million in revenue sent to Xcel under the current arrangement, the economic value of local energy production and ownership could multiply within the city’s economy to as much as $350 million a year, according to research by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

    If the city uses its new authority to become a utility, future generations may look back at 11/1/11 as the shot heard round the world – a shot fired for clean, local energy – and ask why more Americans didn’t “go Boulder” sooner.

  67. (Reuters) - The U.S. government is not taking advantage of an enforcement tool that could potentially hold top Wall Street figures accountable for their role in the recent financial crisis, despite its prior success.

    Broker-dealers, investment advisers, and others regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission are required to supervise their representatives. If a trader engages in misconduct, the SEC can sue the management with "failure to supervise."

    But in some of the biggest cases the SEC has brought in recent months -- against units of JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup -- the agency has sued only low-level bankers.

    Public anger following the U.S. government bailout of major banks in 2008 is fueling such disparate movements as Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party, but government lawyers say they are bringing cases based on the evidence they have. Some experts argue the agency could be doing more.

Fully 99% of these high-frequency trades are canceled, on the same scale of time. This is now 85% of the volume of the stock market. The only losers are the day traders trying to kick it old school.
