Here's a feminist who resolutely refuses to learn from the past:
I’m a feminist. I study rape culture. And I don’t want Al Franken to resign.
Her gist - Yeah, I'm a Democrat, but however bad Franken is the Republicans are worse. And they won't resign in the face of scandal so why should we?
That is the deal that saved Bill Clinton and eventually torpedoed his wife, so how is this strategy working out for the Dems?
I don't know, but I've been told, Al Franken will be out in the cold. Sound off one two three four.
It's got a beat and you can march to it. The Drill Sarges will love it.

Like you I suspect that Franken has a lot of Wienstenian skeletons in his closet, but as a Trump supporter I am not buying the "we know he must have done a lot worse" argument.
I also think that Franken should never have become a senator in the first place, and his position as one is almost literally a joke.
But I am a big believer in proof. Trial by innuendo is offensive to me. There is proof that he behaved like a complete boorish ass, That's enough for me but on the scale of political sexual misconduct it is pretty minor. If there's proof of something worse lets see it.

Boat,
I'd love to hear from Dennis Miller about behind the scenes at SNL on Franken but I doubt we ever will. I do recall Dennis during the extended Vote count in Minnesota, when Franken was still a thousand votes behind Norm Coleman, saying on his radio show that Franken was going to win because Franken was an extremely tough undetermined fighter who was going to do whatever it took to manufacture votes and win, and that Coleman was going to lose because Coleman did not understand Franken's true nature and he was sitting around stupidly expecting the process to work honorably.
BTW,
Please tell Mrs Boat that I finally got to her book recommendation from 4 years back, "Station Eleven," and enjoyed the read.

Nice try, dems. We have evidence on Franken and an admission. You can try dragging out more accusers of President Trump, but unless you have evidence I am not buying it.
Plus, since we ended up with8 years of known sexual predator Bill Clinton, I figure we are owed 8 years of President Trump, even if he pinched some woman's butt. (Which is pretty classless and I doubt he did.)

This ban on elephant trophy imports has turned into a real big deal for my daughter, who lit into me about it tonight and also about the Trump boys going hunting in Africa.
Efforts to explain controlled hunting of herds was met like I had suggested killing and skinning our dogs. Logic did not prevail on this at all, so I am here in my office/bedroom hiding out.
When I told her he had put a hold on making a decision, she said he shouldn't even have to think about it.
I have seen Greta van Sustern, Tammy Bruce and James Woods get all upset about this on Twitter.
Of such seemingly trivial things are attitudes turned, so I sincerely hope he has a wise way to get through this decision.

No less an authority than Kirsten Powers (Anthony Weiner's old girlfriend) told us earlier today that the reason Mike Pence has to have another male in the elevator with him if a girl gets in is because he is unable to control his animal nature and he would rape her in an instant if he had the opportunity. Using Kirsten's logic I have to think Jimmy Carter was a committed rapist as well who just never could shake Rosalyn or his Security Detail.

Hunting leases on many ranches in Texas has really grown.

Elephant hunting funds most of the game departments and anti poaching efforts in Africa. Elephant hunting and culling is often the only protein the locals get. Are the people who love Dumbo so much going to make up the difference?
Elephants are in decline because of poaching and loss of habitat, not because of sport hunting.
Posted by: Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki | November 17, 2017 at 10:10 PM
Sometimes we're our own worst enemy when it comes to hunting. I don't know what the actual numbers are but just as an example let's say that 20% of the population on one end of the spectrum hunt and 20% on the other end are anti-hunting. That leaves a great big percentage in the middle who may be swayed one way or the other. The peak of the breeding season for deer is right now where I live and I recently saw a guy driving on the highway with a beautiful deer strapped to the roof of the car. I wish I would have had a chance to explain to this moron that kids are home writing their letters to Santa and you killed Rudolf and strapped him to the roof of your car. He just pushed a whole lot of people towards the anti-hunters. So it's in our best interest to be good and ethical hunters.
Posted by: Rocco | November 17, 2017 at 10:13 PM
Ignatz,
You can come talk to my daughter. There is no reasoning with elephant lovers about this. It escalates into "no one should kill any animals for sport" rather quickly and you are accused of not caring if the animals suffer. Believe me, I just went through this.
I don't like hunting myself, because I am soft-hearted squish. The one time I went rabbit hunting with my dad I felt guilty for a couple of years. I am just not cut out for it, because I am the type of person who takes spiders outside in paper cups and releases them and also one who pretends in her head that hamburger grows on trees.
However, I understand how you keep healthy herds and reduce poaching, even if I don't want to be involved in it myself, because I think it is important to keep species healthy and not doomed to extinction.
This is one of those hot-button issues which can snowball into a real problem if the administration isn't careful.

Newspapers have regular full-page ads stating how many elephants are killed by African poachers on a *daily* basis--I think 90 is the number given. This makes it hard to believe any are still alive. Photos of mutilated, dead animals make it easy to see why public opinion is against any killing.

Frau,
I hate to think another government program is the answer, but maybe a government-private partnership on both funding the villagers (maybe a "days without dead elephants" bonus) coupled with something for them to earn a living might be a good idea.
It's a real problem, but the solution isn't PR friendly as currently written.
Hay, here's an idea. Since the elephant is the mascot of the GOP, maybe they should sponsor some sort of program to stop the elephant killing!

Oh that suffering part irks me. I've passed up several shots because I didn't want to take a chance at wounding an animal. You don't have to believe me but everyone I hunt with won't take a shot unless they're confident a well placed bullet or arrow will prevent that animal from suffering. I passed up a beautiful buck because I only had a neck shot and unless you hit that juggler, well I didn't want that buck to suffer. I also passed up a huge black bear because she had three cubs. Most of us are ethical hunters and all the hunters I know feel they owe that animal they're hunting that respect. There's a big difference between a hunter and a killer.

I recall when I first heard Red Sox TV Color guy Jerry Remy, a local, talking about the then White Sox (I think) player Starlin Castro, and wondering how far gone his parents must have been to name the poor kid Stalin Castro.
Sort of on topic:)

the hoppiness has a strong bitter bite and this batch is a bit more boozy than list it seems. clean finish ... and worthy of the 4.15 at the beer advocate.
press post.

re: the elephant thing. Not sure about the context but is it possible to let the actual, you know, African nations decide how to handle it?
If they OK a hunt, then why should the US ban a hunter from bringing back his or her trophy tusks?
I have a piece of deer horn I found while hiking, a very nice thing to smooth between your fingers. Also a small ivory (I assume walrus tusk) chess set which I bought from a retired Pan Am PR employee who claimed to have obtained it from the then crown prince of Japan. Beautifully carved, very pleasing to hold in your hand.
But why decide that some Western city slicker is superior to African citizens? Sadly, this sounds like an open-and-shut case of r a c i s m.

Not that there is anything wrong with that:

>>>Two mentions of Stalin on the same page and he wasn't the thread topic must be some kind of JOM record.

From narciso's link:
"China (has) become Africa’s largest trading partner ..."
I sense that too, from reading articles over the years. Only a single data point, but on my last trip to China we visited a Chinese university. There were dozens of Africans studying there. A couple spoke English and chatted with us briefly. Although they were polite, they were distant. Felt like they perhaps were sympathetic to an attitude such as "we need Chinese help to throw off white/US/Euro domination".
