Women For All!

Weird Al Franken has two more accusers. He is not even pretending to apologize:

In a statement to HuffPost, Franken said, “It’s difficult to respond to anonymous accusers, and I don’t remember those campaign events.”

Not exactly "Believe the women" material. In any case, they described the venues, and it is not as if he ever knew their names.

Hypothetical question.

You're called before either the House or Senate Judiciary committees, Rep. John Conyers or Sen. Al Franken asks you some snarky question about your fitness to be a judge. Do you,
a) answer the question as politely as you can, or,
b) launch into a carefully prepared five minute diatribe that ends with your demand that he/them immediately resign?

Me, I like option b. So are these two neutered in any further hearings?

This entire story is based on "a source in the country."

It's geared to appeal to the left by charging "American mercenaries" with torture.

What I think is more likely is that this is a story concocted by relatives of some of the imprisoned big shots in order to try to stir world opposition to the Crown Prince, who could be deposed and things then would go back to the old corruption and funding of extremism.

The editors are going to figure a way to throw some shade over it. Sort of like Apple firing their diversity chief-her job isn't diversity such as it is at Apple-it was to make the prog establishment happy. Sign some checks to progressive causes, make the right noises about diversity (but make sure the work force doesn't get over 2% black), and make doubly sure nothing about their China strategy makes the US press.

Pretty much par for the course for all of Silicon Valley.

I attended my first Oakland Raiders game in 1960. I was five years old at the time. Our tickets had us on bleacher seats right behind the Raiders bench. We were so close we could hear the players farting.

That was a long time ago. And the old AFL was in its first season.

I gave up watching the Raiders when they broke ground on their new stadium in Las Vegas. I was holding out hopes that they'd stay by the Bay.

That was frustration.

I heard on Monday morning what Marshawn Lynch did down in Mexico. And after a couple of days thinking about it, I made a permanent decision: I will never watch, listen or read about the Oakland Raiders for the rest of my days.

Al Davis wouldn't have tolerated Lynch's disrespect for the flag or the country. His son, Mark, is weak, soft, and backward. He's a disgrace. And he's let Lynch spit on the flag and our country giving credence to the ridiculous notion that somehow the American southwest was somehow "stolen" from Mexico and is rightfully the property of the narcotraficante government of Mexico.

I'm done. For good. I'm not a fan of the NFL. I never have been a fan of the NFL. But I've been a Raiders fan for 57 years--- up or down, win or lose. I will miss rooting for my team, watching them try to come back and be great again.

But as long as they have cancerous personalities in their locker room like Marshawn Lynch, it will never happen. Imagine putting that kind of egomaniac in Las Vegas with wads of cash in his pocket--- and expect him to buckle down and train with his team mates, lead rookies, and set an example?

Done.

Oh, MT, I answered your question a few days ago, but will again---I had never read anything about caffeine interfering w vitamin absorption when you asked the other day, but yesterday did read about considering mag supplementation if you drink a lot of coffee, so perhaps it's the polyphenols, not the caffeine??

KK may know.

[anonamom]

MM, thank you for posting so frankly about your son yesterday. I assumed that would be the case, when you mentioned that he'd already had a few glasses of wine before he hit the road. It's (sadly) extremely common, and a factor in most motor vehicle collisions.

I urge you and your daughter to go the Al Anon meetings in your area, for a while at least. There is almost always a pattern of enabling that can be very hard to differentiate from support involved in these situations, and others who have walked the road you're going to be on are generally the best guides.

[The Infamous Ignatz]

Happy Thanksgiving anonamom and everyone.
I found this discussion of Wheat Belly interesting.
I have to confess I find his claim that wheat was once a healthful food but has been turned into a toxin by genetic engineering highly suspect.
I also read other sources who noted his citations often don't support his claims or sometimes say the opposite.

I am convinced significant consumption of sugar and carbohydrates, especially white flour and other processed carbs is harmful, not least because of my own experience in cutting them out of my diet.
But I'm very skeptical of food evangelists and ascetics telling me the end is nigh if I let some impurity crosseth my lips, especially when the evangelists often make claims that conflict as much or more as the Protestant and Catholic evangelists did in the Thirty Years War.
I have no doubt there are many people suffering from dietary and metabolic conditions that can be greatly helped by strict dietary changes. KK is walking, talking proof of that.
But I'm equally convinced many people who are otherwise relatively healthy will receive only marginal benefits through strict dietary regimens or perhaps none at all. Like most things I suspect 90% of the benefits are produced by the first 10% of the effort and the last 10% through 90% of the work. I'm not sure that last 10% is worth it when we consider how easily our efforts are overwhelmed by genetic and external environmental and accidental factors.
Admittedly my view is probably warped by Mrs Iggy who was a bit of a food evangelist herself and ate better and more healthfully than anyone I knew.

[daddy]

Our Anchorage Lynx family has returned for a Thanksgiving cat fight in the snow!

[jim nj]

MM,

I've been thinking about this, as I dislike offering advice, without a full understanding of what's going on.

The restaurant owner knowing about your son's situation suggests that your son is what is often called a "functional" alcoholic. He's a drunkard who can maintain a job, relationships, etc. Knows he is an alcoholic, but can exhibit enough self-control so as to support himself. And not have to live on the street begging for money.

Your not knowing about his condition suggests the same diagnosis. He could maintain a relationship with you as a "functional" as he would have hidden his condition from you and your daughter.

Something like an auto accident can result in a self realization that is traumatic enough for him to seek help.

He's already realized that he's let you down. Your daughter too.

Some of us think of alcoholism as a weakness or a disease, but you should also help him to find out if he is self-medicating with alcohol to treat himself.

In other words, is he an alcoholic, or is he treating, by himself, some other psychological condition he is not even aware of that might come out with psychiatric care and/or medication.

He needs help, but don't feel like you have failed him, or are inadequate in some way. I'm sure he will respect your opinion and want your help.

By way of explanation as to how you can help. My sister was a heroin addict for almost twenty years. At one point I couldn't deal with her anymore and cut her off from all contact with me for some time. Some years later she sought treatment. She was diagnosed with manic-depressive disorder and her drug regimen including anti-opiod blockers. We now converse on a regular basis via phone and she visits me twice a year for a week or two.

MM,

You're not at fault here. None of this is your fault. Just trust in God and your children and you will find a path forward. It may not be an easy path, but it's there nonetheless.

Conyers’ Attorney Hints At ‘Allegations’ Against ‘Many Members’ Of The House And Senate

My guess is that this is a warning shot to other members of Congress, and if so I'm happy to see the blood flowing begin.

[anonamom]

Agree w jim in nj above---I don't think what is often called alcoholism is an all-or-none "disease," but self treating other issues. Most typically, what is called depression.

And often, those could be called spiritual issues.
Which is why I think that 12 step program works better than anything else to date for all kinds of substance abuse.

I don't deny that some people may have some kind of demonstrable genetic propensity to become substance addicted, but it doesn't doom a person. I know way, way too many people who drank abusively and now drink socially to think the "one drink and I'm back in the gutter" kind of thing is the way it goes, though I fully support total abstinence for people who chose it. (And for some, it is essential.)

It's easier to be fully present in this life when your faculties are not impaired.

But I do think "recovery" is multifactoral, and good nutrition, movement outdoors, community--all things sadly missing in our modern lifestyle for so many---have a big role to play in re-establishing one's center/spiritual core.

I read a fabulous book recently The Body Keeps the Score that I recommend to anyone dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma.

And frankly, most people are.

CNN reporter under fire after tweeting that sex allegations are draining talent from media, entertainment

I love that line Milton Friedman used in schooling Phil Donahue on the value of Capitalism over Communism:

Friedman to Donahue: "And just tell me where in the world you find these Angels who are going to organize society for us? I don't even trust you to do that."

That popped into my head while thinking about how so many of these supposed Angels our Media has elevated to Angel status have come crashing and burning to earth this last month like the Hindenburg Zeppelin:

Charlie Rose
Harvey Weinstein
Ben Afflick
Kevin Spacey
Mark Halperin
Al Franken
Hillary Clinton
John Conyers
Lena Dunham
Oliver Stone
etc

Are there any of these sanctimonious gasbags left being held up by the popular Culture as the Angels we want to organize Utopia for us?

I can think of maybe 3.

1) Meryl Streep, who said she never saw anything and never heard anything, but then that means either she's lying or she's too stupid and unobservant to ever be in charge of organizing anything,

2) Oprah Winfrey. But Oprah as I recall kept hiring teachers in her schools in Africa that would come in and rape the students, so she's got no business organizing Utopia for us either.

3) "nimby" George Clooney, but he's damaged goods since he keeps badgering the world to take in refugees, except that when they come to his Italian town he up and leaves since he hates dealing with any of those icky humans on a personal level.

So who's left? Who's the last great Angel still standing with the popular bonafides to talk down to all us Deplorables?

[Captain Hate]

Is there anyone employed by CNN who isn't a complete embarrassment?

[daddy]

And now that we've satis factually resolved the Left Hand/Right Hand controversy, lets deal with an even stickier problem this Thanksgiving:

[Captain Hate]

White meat for me and dark for Mrs H.

[Jack is Back!]

daddy,

In the rank of angels, those you listed are only in the 1st sphere, probably most are Seraphim or Cherubim. The real dangers are the angels in the 3rd sphere. Those are the Principalities or Rulers.

Bill Gates, Tom Steyer, George Soros, Warren Buffet, who fund the Archangles like Hillary and Bubba, the Warren's and Sander's of our world. Those are the ones I worry about.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

White meat for me, daddy. I actually don't like turkey that much by itself; I need all of the trimmings with it.

My sister was stirring the persimmon pudding yesterday. The recipe calls for it to be stirred ever 15 minutes for something like 2 hours of baking.

I liked this story as proof that a GoFundme effort can make a different in people's lives.

The new boss will regret letting those guys loose with enough cash to cause trouble later.

History.

Your daily dose of comic irony for Thursday is brought to you by your friendly Federal Reserve; proudly stabilizing America through instability for 100 years;
Fed officials fear market imbalances.

If only there was some organization that was tasked with providing a sound, stable currency which would let the free market itself discover the price of things and limit and weed out those imbalances.

And as a bookend to Iggy's 9:25, I offer this, just for the last sentence:

For chicken I prefer dark, but for turkey I like both, as long as the white isn't over cooked and dry as the Sahara.

Agree with iggy's overnight comments on food evangelists. The extremes they go to or almost impossible to achieve, but it's very hard to get them to agree that it's ok to replace all the "completely eliminate"s with "substantially reduce." That the benefits are at least proportional to the cutback. I'm sure they are, unless you have some condition like celiac. So that's what I do. Cut back on sugar, refined carbs, grains, but don't go crazy.

Here is some good news for which we can all be thankful:

I thought the sentence that began "While the decision was disappointing..." was the most interesting OL, because that was the reporter talking, not a quote of one of the parties.
