Song lyrics by Paul Francis Webster (1907 - 1984)

-----

Secret Love

Nobody knew -- not even you --
When I first started walking on wings,
But how long can a man or woman
Ever hope to hide love that's locked up inside?

Every story worth the spinning
Must have a beginning.

Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me.
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free.

So I told a friendly star --
The way that dreamers often do --
Just how wonderful you are,
And why I'm so in love with you.

Now I shout it from the highest hills;
I even told the golden daffodils.
At last, my heart's an open door,
And my secret love's no secret anymore

-----

Sung by Doris Day

One of the sure signs of Those Who Have Partaken of the Red Liquid from the Dark Sarcophagus is that they can stay up all night on comment threads.

Until, of course, they cast aside their masks and rise up.

Grew.

Don't agree.

Jury nullification is valid in the trial of Paul Manafort.

The trial is part of Robert "The FBI Whitewasher" Mueller's scheme to undo the Presidential election of 2016.

However, the nullifying jurors will have to stick to their story forever that it was reasonable doubt.

So Red China’s stock market is down 40% the past 2-3 years, they can’t figure out Trump and a trade official is coming to kiss the ring, Iran’s auto industry might have to lay off 450,000 and their prices are rising, unemployment, been in a range of over 10% for a long time and Germany fell in line to stop doing biz with them, they’re rattling sabers but they might come and kiss the ring, and Turkey wants to kiss the ring.

Another good week, not tired of winning yet.

BTW, it seems that TestTube has not only been repeating the brilliant wine and cheese thing in every thread here.

But, the po po in the real word took him down. I guess they didn't get how brilliant this was/is.

Anywho, at least TTube didn't use the N word near the end of that clip. Otherwise, there'd be two bleeped words.

Sheesh Jay,

If you wanted to say that that was you (not TTube) in the video, you could have been more succinct.

*********************

I think you've got this wrong.

Jury nullification means that the government has strongly made its case, "beyond a reasonable doubt", but the jury might consider the original charge made in bad-faith, or due to selective prosecution.

(Or they might think the law relied on is unfair).

But if the jury thinks the government has NOT met the "reasonable doubt" standard, they simply acquit.

That's not "nullification". That's what juries are FOR. If they acquit, the jurors won't have to "stick to their story", to anyone. THEY're not on trial for anything.

Any jurors who are voting "not guilty" to nullify the case should insist forever that they voted "not guilty" because of reasonable doubt.

***************************************************

And...how will you know who those "any jurors" are? WHY do you assume that any juror has that position? They have no obligation to tell anyone why they voted the way they did.

WHY would a juror expose himself to ferocious criticism by claiming " nullification", when it's the JURY's verdict, not his, that counts?

Althouse can 'splain this to you.

Yes, I can.

It's people who have had success and people who have not. If yur not rich yur not as successful as folks who are rich. I don't see color. Except green.

Sprezzatura said...

Of course there are plenty of folks who live perfectly noble and happy and satisfied lives w/o being rich. But, that's not a numbers game. Numbers is dough.

IMHO.

stephen cooper said...

anti de sitter space: you have a very limited view of rewards in this life, right?

Are you a Zoroastrian?

God loves us all, and I guarantee you that if someone who cared about you prayed for you to experience Joy, you would, of course, understand - whether you wanted to or not - you would understand Joy. I have no idea why you are so bitter - is it my fault, for not having prayed for you - I thought I did, but maybe I forgot ....

God loves us all. I know all the evidence to the contrary, better than you could ever imagine - but I still say, God loves us all.

Are numbers what you think we have as idols? If you think that, you are wrong.

Utter incoherence.



Crack doesn't see things that way. He sees a systemic, racist reason why HE is unhappy, resentful, and not rich: Whitey has held him back.

Black billionaires/centimillionaires like Oprah, Robert Smith, Tiger Woods, Sean Combs, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan? He assiduously ignores them.

It's HIS self-hatred that he projects onto white society.

("Other than for RACIISSSMMM, why do Jay-Z and Beyoncé make so much money, and I don't"???)

Crack is a LOSER.

Ralph L said...

CNN wanted the names and addresses of the jurors before the verdict. Judge has denied their request, saying he's been threatened.

Sprezzatura said...

Steve C,

Don't worry, I was just joshin'. Your prayers were answered! Both you and Jay can share the joy that comes from jabbering about how white folks are the best.

Sprezzatura said...

BTW,

How cool is it for not-rich (and not Noble winner) white folks to jabber about the accomplishments of white folks?

Ha ha ha ha.

Never mind that they're, relatively, a POS: they've got white skin too!

So now we know that Russian Colluder and dems/Hillary-funded hoax dossier creator Christopher Steele was also colluding with Robert Muellers team of dem hacks in 2017 via Bruce Ohr, which means Robert Mueller
and his team actually colluded with Russians even as they investigated non-existent supposed Trump collusion with Russia.

In other news...

Politico:

‘Abolish Prisons’ Is the New ‘Abolish ICE’

A growing group of leftists wants to get rid of the entire prison industrial complex in America.


"...But for some leftist activists, prison reform is not enough and, in some cases, may even be counterproductive. For these activists, the word “abolish” that has been trending lately with reference to immigration enforcement and the death penalty is a nod to a more ambitious movement that has been building for decades and for which getting rid of ICE would be only the beginning of a far more radical set of changes.

That is the movement to abolish prisons—and more broadly, the entire penal and policing system—in America. Proponents envision a future society in which, rather than having better carceral conditions than we have today, there exist literally no prisons at all.

At first blush, the idea might seem fringe and unreasonable; where, for instance, would all the criminals go? What happens to rapists and murderers? But the movement’s backers counter that it is the only truly humane direction we can head in as a society—that is, if we really aspire to live in a world rid of interpersonal harm and racial inequality. And they might actually be making headway."

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/08/15/abolish-prisons-is-the-new-abolish-ice-219361

Sounds like a REALLY GREAT winning strategy for the Left to embrace in the 2020 presidential election.

"EVERY TIME Crack steps into a car, airplane, subway or train, I want him to remember: the white people who invented those things HE USES were "Stupid"."

No, I think of all the black inventions and inventors - involved with all those things - that whites never acknowledged, or admitted, they stole. Something your piss-poor little mind never stopped to consider as you beckon us to worship you and your kind. And, until you do, you won't be directing my mind anywhere. Now go pray to your god, and hope he keeps whites as oblivious to their crimes as they've always been, as they recede into the demographic darkness, leaving us all their marvelous inventions to enjoy - finally - in peace.

"Just before the Civil War, Patterson left slavery and headed north, bringing blacksmithing skills he learned in Virginia. Not long after settling in, Patterson began working at a carriage company. By 1870 he was a foreman and by 1873, Patterson had gone into business with J.P. Lowe, a white carriage maker.

“When Lowe died about a decade later, Patterson become the sole owner. He made 28 different horse-drawn vehicles; doctor buggies, backboards, phaetons, rockaways and surreys,” says Smith, who managed to find and buy three Patterson buggies.
By 1883, Patterson’s two sons, Frederick Douglas and Samuel, could help dad work at what had become C.R. Patterson and Son Carriage Company. “They became natural mechanics and even built some of their own designs,” says Smith. "

Good call. You can put Nilsson on the white people appreciation post.

Ann Althouse said...

Jay, I had to delete your post because you committed a violation of the rules that I've talked about many times: You put in blank space beyond normal paragraph breaks.

I can see that people responded to you, but that's that.

Please people, don't add extra spaces! Let your words carry the weight of emphasis or whatever you think your doing with this anomalous formatting.

The Crack Emcee said...

How can anyone think attacking the royal family for being "cult-like — like Scientology" will work, in a world where so few care about the real Scientology being a cult, and still being in action?

White people - even in modernity, and a time of enlightenment, logic, and science - still form crazy cults with no basis in any of that. And they attack blacks who say to stop. Just like they've always stopped blacks fighting for freedom from slavery. That seems to be the white thing.

Blacks will stop saying it when whites stop doing it.

That's my lie, anyway, and I'm sticking to it.

When commenting on a phone or tablet, the "You can use some HTML tags" line sits in the bottom of the comment box and covers the commenter's words.

You have to hit the return key to see what you typed. If your keypad does not have a delete key (my tablet does, but my phone doesn't) you can't always get down to the extra lines and backspace because the "You can use" line is in the way.

It's not always people adding extra space for emphasis.

Ads on blogger are weird.

The one I have now is for a book called "Black Gods of the Metropolis" on Amazon.

It was published in 1970 and is sub-titled "Negro Religious Cults of Urban North America."

"If your keypad does not have a delete key (my tablet does, but my phone doesn't) you can't always get down to the extra lines and backspace because the "You can use" line is in the way."

It never occurred to me that some people are writing without a delete key. That's just bizarre. That explains something to me that I've never understood, why the extra spaces. I often see one extra space at the bottom (probably for the reason you give) and I don't delete for just one, though it annoys me.

Annie C said...

"Negro Religious Cults of Urban North America"?

Oh, how I hate living in a nation that pretends to love science, logic, and critical thought, but won't establish a baseline for where reality ends and madness begins. Blacks, coming out of the slavery experience and still making "firsts" on a collective and individual level are easy suckers in this environment for assholes preaching "you can believe what you want to believe." It wouldn't happen, in a society that actually valued thinking that says that isn't so, but that's not America. America is a nation of con artists, and they let the other con artists run loose, and a fraudulent society is the result. That anyone feels comfortable in it, or thinks we should salute the flag of such a Hell hole, is a statement on how much like Soviet Russia America really is. They just can't get honesty right.
