Stay safe John.
At least you all know there’s stuff needed in the warehouses.
OK. What’s with the Mike Pompeo/Mary Kelly story ? The B plot of the misogynist vs the unhinged
So I'm taking a walk today and a middle-aged guy in a pickup stops alongside me and asks if I know where the local adult video store is. Swear to God, this is the second time this has happened to me this year and it's freaking me out a little. Why me and why is our little city a magnet for out-of-town Onanists with poor wifi?
Trump is on the brink of doom.
Not this year but within the last year...
Why me and why is our little city a magnet
Jeeze! That's Creepy! Tell them to use the internet; like GOD intended!
"Blogger Spiros Pappas said...

Speaking of out-of-town Onanists....
GOD went to All the trouble, of making people, that made the internet...
To IGNORE his gifts, is to Ignore GOD... And that Pisses Him off!
Godly folks are only shown in 3 color lithographs on heavy paper. Lots of yellow, orange, blue and brown. The ungodly are shown in trains and factories.
The reporterettes anecdote doesnt ring true, shes a labeled fiction writer one spy thriller (featuring a thinly disguised john brennan) and a crime novel of sorts
So are we at the stand, andromeda atrain or world war z contagion.
I'd be more afraid of a contagion coming out of LA than China, but that's just me. Maybe Seattle, also, from what I saw last time I was downtown....
Well it could find an easy growth medium there.
Don't know if this has been posted or not, but it should be used as a training video to teach Erin Kaplan how to deal with people.

You look like a guy that hangs out at the local adult video store?
Maybe time for a complete makeover!
My weekly hymn, everybody's favorite:
Morning Has Broken.
Chuck. Inga. Discuss.
Occam's razor applied to the news indicates that this illness was released by the PLA bio weapons lab in the town where the infection started.
released by accident, of course.
Thats plausible, but youre assuming its an accidental release, did i mention the stand.
"a guy that hangs out at the local adult video store?

Well, I figured that, as a middle-aged White guy with a black jacket and a black baseball cap pulled low, they thought I looked simpatico.
More seriously, it got me thinking about subcultures and how, the smaller a subculture is, the more opaque it's information loop is to outsiders. Perhaps AVS customers of a certain bent know that our local AVS caters to that bent. How would others know that?
If the coronavirus needs a culture to grow in, it won't find it in the USA.
Well that wasnt smart.

If it is a USA culture, the NYT will declare it a legitimate target of the Iranian Guard.
How is coronavirus different from swine flu?
(I'm talking about the 1976 Swine Flu -- lots of panic, not a lot else though)
They havent adequately explained that.
Shouting Thomas, I’m enjoying your Sunday series very much.
They say they are genetically different closer to sars and mers

Coronavirus spurs a run on face masks. But do they work?
'...The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that any health-care workers interacting with coronavirus patients or suspected cases wear a stronger kind of mask, known as the N95 respirator, along with other gear such as gloves and eye protectors.
The N95 filters out 95 percent of pollutants and is “highly effective” in preventing the transmission of viruses, Sexton said. However, these masks must be specially fitted and therefore are not commonly worn outside of the health-care setting.'
'...U.S. face mask manufacturers told The Washington Post that they also are dealing with a jump in demand.
“We are experiencing a surge in demand for our protective face masks in North America, Europe and China,” Honeywell International, based in Northern Carolina, said in a statement. “We are increasing production at multiple facilities globally, and we are fulfilling all current orders.”
3M, a major manufacturer based in Minnesota, also reported an increase in production after a rise in demand from China for respiratory protection products.
As The Post’s Lena Sun reported, the U.S. government has several secret storage facilities holding drugs and supplies that are part of a $7 billion Strategic National Stockpile ready to be used in the case of a bioterrorism or nuclear attack or an outbreak of an infectious disease. The medical contents of the repository held nationwide would cover more than 31 football fields if laid out.'

3M N-95 dust masks now seem to be out of stock (online) on Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. Probably because of stories like this:
Is Beijing suppressing the true scale of infections? Nurse treating coronavirus sufferers says 90,000 have been infected as Chinese president warns spread is ACCELERATING and death toll hits 55

When did the outbreak begin? Im guessing two weeks ago because the chicago case came in 12 days ago.
Impeachment has been another leftist failure. Odds are good that next week, Trumps China policy will be blamed for the new virus.

Pompeo v. Mary Louise Kelly of NPR:
NPR has the whole interview on audio. It was semi-short, and Pompeo basically cut it off when Kelly asked Pompeo why he hadn’t defended Ambassador Yovanovich as part of the State Department, following Department protocol (or formally charging her with misconduct if she was not), and Pompeo would not answer. She pressed him for a direct answer to a direct question, and Pompeo quit answering.
Then, apparently thinking they were off the record, Pompeo went off on her. Dropping repeated f-bombs; telling her that Americans don’t care about fucking Ukraine. And Pompeo taunted Kelly, who has a degree in European Studies from Cambridge along with more than ten years covering the national security beat. Pompeo challenged Kelly to find Ukraine on a map. And Pompeo directed one of his aides to get a blank map, to test Kelly. The aide got a map, and she correctly pointed out the area of Ukraine.
An enraged Pompeo continued to berate Kelly, with more f-bombs, and warned her, “People are going to hear about this.”
Afterward, when Kelly reported on the interview, Pompeo attacked Kelly further, claiming that he had not agreed to an interview on the subject of Ukraine. Now, NPR has released emails between Kelly and the State Department clearing the interview. Ukraine was not off limits.
And then the State Department tried to claim that Pompeo’s blowup was off the record and should not have been reported. NPR and Kelly say, “Nope; there was no such agreement,” and neither Pompeo nor State have since backed that up with anything.
And now finally, Pompeo has started gaslighting in an oddly Trumpian way. Pompeo has muttered something about “finding Bangladesh on a map.” Now, Pompeo hasn’t claimed that Mary Louise Kelly mistook Bangladesh for Ukraine. He just threw that line out there.
Pompeo needs to answer questions under oath and in front of a judge.

"Pompeo needs to answer questions under oath and in front of a judge."
Yeah, non-cooperation with a hostile reporter. He obviously thought he was there to give an interview on Iran policy and lost his cool when asked to apologize to Yakonovitch. Probably a felony, but at least a misdemeanor. He belongs in court for that.
The game isn't played that way anymore.
As said in the prior discussion -- the response really is as tedious as the triggering comment.
OK. What’s with the Mike Pompeo/Mary Kelly story?
Pretty typical behavior for Pompeo. The guy is a thin-skinned, blustering blowhard who can only keep so many talking points in his head at one time before he goes into meltdown mode. The guy's a joke.

He was not "asked to apologize to Yakonovitch." He was asked whether he believed he owed her an apology. Pompeo could have easily said, "No," and then explain why he didn't an apology was owed. Instead he threw a temper tantrum like a spoiled brat.

Farmer, I assume Pompeo has made a plan which will play out. The only reason to dis him instead of waiting to see his results is if you want to influence opinion against him and thus stop his plan before it matures. I challenge you to make a prediction of what will happen under his plan, and let it be judged against the future.

First of all, Pompeo should be answering the GAO’s questions on the Administration’s violation of the ICA. From the final page of the GAO report:
Page 8 B-331564
OMB and State have failed, as of yet, to provide the information we need to fulfill our duties under the ICA regarding potential impoundments of FMF funds. We will continue to pursue this matter and will provide our decision to the Congress after we have received the necessary information.
We consider a reluctance to provide a fulsome response to have constitutional significance. GAO’s role under the ICA—to provide information and legal analysis to Congress as it performs oversight of executive activity—is essential to ensuring respect for and allegiance to Congress’ constitutional power of the purse. All federal officials and employees take an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution and its core tenets, including the congressional power of the purse. We trust that State and OMB will provide the information needed.
Thomas H. Armstrong General Counsel
B-331564
And after that, with all of the documents out, Pompeo can sit and be crossed by Daniel Goldman with Chief Justice Roberts watching.
Pompeo having been director previously had a much better understanding of what ukraines needa and capacities were as well as when he was on the intelligence committee.

A friend of mine who used to be an independent, and who is now firmly allied with Democrats because of Trump, knew I was a Republican and so asked me about Pompeo because she knew I was attuned to all things Republican.
I told her that Pompeo was smart; first in his class at West Point, Harvard Law and Law Review; four years at Williams & Connolly; some aerospace and oil production equipment businesses in Kansas, then a rapid-rising career in the House. All pre-Trump.
I told my friend that Pompeo was smart and that made him dangerous; dangerous to everyone including Mike Pompeo.
Now, ever Pompeo interview for the foreseeable future needs to include “Bangladesh.” And of course it is now only s matter of time before someone produces a blank map and a Sharpie and asks Trump to identify Ukraine. Or, uh, South Carolina.

Btw, all; read the transcript!
Read the transcript of Mary Louise Kelly’s interview with Pompeo. Pompeo has an unusually blunt way of not answering questions. His favorite thing is to not answer a question by saying, “As I’ve already made very clear...” Or, “As the President has made very clear, ...” and then repeating a non-responsive talking point.
Pompeo normally does this in such a blandly determined way, that it might not get a lot of notice. But with Kelly, hr let slip, and tried to intimidate her, and now he’s been caught in a laughably Trumpian way. Replete with the gaslighting denial “Bangladesh,” that only proves that yeah, he had an aide get s blank map to test her. And he won’t actually say that she pointed to Bangladesh.
Ah well; Mary Louise Kelly didn’t know Ukraine. And of course Donald Trump didn’t know Parnas and Fruman; didn’t know who they were or anything about them. They may have been people who wanted photos with him. He takes pictures with thousands of people. Trump knows nothing about Parnas or Fruman. Riiight:

“I have not heard of Ms. White. Does she indeed occupy the office of "Presidential Spirit Advisor?"
WASHINGTON — Paula White, a Pentecostal preacher and longtime adviser to President Donald Trump, has been tapped to head the White House's Faith and Opportunity Initiative, a successor to previous administrations' faith-based office that coordinates outreach to religious communities.
"Paula White is the Advisor to the (White House) Faith & Opportunity Initiative," read a statement from the White House sent to Religion News Service. A White House spokesperson later said, "She is heading up that initiative."

Star Trek series seem to be degrading just like Star Wars movies. It isn't a one way trend, but the overall trend is down, down, down.
Star Trek OS, slight decline to Star Trek TNG (at least only slight if you ignore the first two seasons of TNG, slight decline to Deep Space Nine, moderate decline to Star Trek Voyager (but again, you have to ignore the first two seasons), a slight improvement to Star Trek Enterprise, a slight decline to Star Trek Discovery, and though I haven't watched it, the description of Picard sounds really awful to me.
I don't particularly like progressions that go back in time (see Star Wars prequels)- this was my main objection to Enterprise and Discovery. I thought what the series really needed after Voyager was huge leap into far more distant future- it might have given writers more freedom for actual innovation and imagination, but, alas, they wanted to stick to known "history" of the series. Boring.
We need to get back to faith based actors like Jesse Jackson who wished to cut Obama's balls off.
Dat be a HOT mic!
Well i liked enterprise because it allowed them to flesh out the back story, discovery is just a hot mess, ive only seen one episode from each season.
People like Paula White and her predecessor Joyce Meyer would do better to pray for better outcomes from their godawful plastic surgeries. All is vanity!
Yet another reason not to trust the media. Local reporter states that the Delta B777 fuel dump rained "100,000 gallons of fuel" over the communities. That would be a total of 650,000 pounds of fuel. The max gross weight of a 777-200 is 535,000 lbs. She should have said 100,000 POUNDS of fuel, which makes more sense.
That in addition to reporting it as dumping only on schools, as though they were targeted singularly and intentionally.
I have been a hand-washing MFer for many years and all this news - along with watching that "Contagion" movie the other day - has spurred me to new heights!
Inga and Chuck, just add those violations to the next articles of impeachment. Maybe you will get Trump on those items instead.
Thats still a serious slipup. How much fuel did they have to spare.
Discovery was a hot mess, they just cant write compelling characters.
@Yancey Ward:
It must be a generational thing. And I get that you said "slightly," but to say that Next Generation is a decline from the original is like saying Tim Burton's Batman was a decline from the Adam West version. Maybe that's true! But I guess it's just impossible for my millenial mind to comprehend it. I liked Deep Space Nine quite a bit but started losing interest with Voyager, though admittedly my interest did perk up once Jeri Ryan joined the cast. I haven't seen any iterations of the franchise since then.
Ds9 was much better than voyager. Some think it ripoffed babylon 5 which was better than both at world building.
I like Enterprise somewhat better than Voyager, but there just wasn't an opportunity break what I would consider new ground because it was set in the past of the previous 4 series. Other than that, I thought the series was fairly well written, acted, and produced. However, I like Discovery a great deal less, even though the production values are good. It just bores me a lot more than Enterprise did.

Who ripped off who in that case? The two series premiered a month apart, didn't they? I distinctly remember wathing the premiere of Deep Space Nine before Babylon 5.
I loved both series- I thought Babylon 5 did a better job building a world, and I look forward more to each episode- especially early on in both series first two seasons, but then Deep Space Nine had one pre-manufactured by TNG to work off of.
Some think it ripoffed babylon 5 which was better than both at world building.
Yeah, I think Straczynski made a pretty compelling case that Paramount ripped off his idea, and I respected his decision not to be litigious about it.
Who ripped off who in that case? The two series premiered a month apart, didn't they?
J. Michael Straczynski, who created the series, pitched the idea to Paramount as early as 1989.

I am so proud that I have been replied to by the august personage we all love.
Voyager almost lost me the first two seasons. It didn't really interest me much until they did away with Kes and the Kazons.
I liked the original ST because my grandmother forbid me to watch it. I thought DS9 was stupid. I liked Picard and Data in TNG. I did not like Janeway but liked 7 of 9 alot. I watched Picard on CBS now and did not get too angry.
Voyager almost lost me the first two seasons. It didn't really interest me much until they did away with Kes and the Kazons.
A thousand times yes. The Kazons were a terrible concept. They reminded me of the street gang in Death Wish III.
I tried to like original enterprise, but it did not stick, I liked the vulcan girl.
original enterprise meaning the one about the first warp ship with the guy from quantum leap.
Babylon is a much better series but it didnt get cooking till season 2 when boxleitner replaced o hare.
It was star trek with a side order of lovecraft the shadows and the vorlons could be the old ones.
Barcher is more of a kirk type personality than certainly janeway, cisco is different than both kirk and picard.
"All interviews of politicians should be "hostile." That's good reporting. Otherwise, it's merely public relations.
Bullshit. The object of a reporter should be to get information into the public square. Being hostile to the subject is unlikely to further that goal. There is a distinct difference between digging aggressively for more info, and hostility.
"He was not "asked to apologize to Yakonovitch." He was asked whether he believed he owed her an apology."
Why would the the word apology even come up in an interview on the administration's foreign policy? Listen to the interview again. Tone. She was openly hostile. But I see your mind is set. Cynicism is easy.

Wait, you mean to tell me that there's a leftwing bias in the press? Knock me over with a feather!
I know shocker

Oh well, another Farmer hi-jacked thread. Rote disputation to whatever anyone says. ZZZ
Hasta la vista baby !
"And you think the way to get information to the public is to ask politicians only questions they want to be asked?"
Now you're just playing games. What part of digging aggressively for info don't you understand? Nor does it mean you are going to get all the answers or info you want. I'd love to be privy to a lot of private and conversations and plans. Or we could just waterboarded them if they don't give us what we want.
There is a place for an aggressive press. That isn't what this was. I'm not trying to defend Pompeo's later behavior here, but it's hardly worth putting him in jail.

I don't think you understand what the word hijack means.

Great. Now show me where I said he should be put in jail for it.

My response in the original comment was to Chuck. 'Hauled into court'. I'm off to an overdue bed. We'll play again some other day. How about them IR-8's! What do they figure? A decade to advance that far?
@pacwest:

Then why did you quote me in all your subsequent replies?

What a pathetically lame attempt at diversion.
You have to apply a "there is no budget and special effects haven't been invented" filter to TOS. Once you do that, there is no comparison. I can't imagine Kirk calling a staff meeting to discuss a problem to death. He is going to kick the problem's butt, and seduce its woman.
Oh, and Adam West's "Batman" is what it is, and is perfect at being that.

No budget and a lack of CGI explains bad acting, cheesy dialogue, and campy plots?

Poor Marie Yovanovich! Poor, POOR, Marie Yovanovich! Discovered too late that serving at the pleasure of the President means he can fire your worthless ass at any time for any reason. She must have been out recovering from a hangover when they went over that in class.
When did the outbreak begin? Im guessing two weeks ago because the chicago case came in 12 days ago.
@narcisco, I understand the incubation period is five days.
When you keep in mind that Mike Pompeo’s three predecessors were Rex Tillerson, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton, well, his working assumption would naturally be that there’s a lot of bad apples aming the ambassadors he inherited. Yovanovich is probably not the worst, but “not the worst” is not much praise now, is it?
TOS. Once you do that, there is no comparison
let's review Basic Facts
The Original Series has Women in tight, stretchy mini-dresses
The few women that aren't wearing TSMD's are Horny Aliens wearing Horny Alien outfits
The ENTIRE show consisted of these fine ladies, getting laid
Hot women in Tight Stretchy Mini Dresses getting laid is THE BEDROCK of scifi
Now, compare All the rest of that crap. Those chix are ALL wearing loose pants
Not Hot Pants; Not Yoga Pants; Not even Capri Pants.... Loose TROUSERS
Now, Maybe if you hate women, and dig the idea of doing people in Loose TROUSERS...

my interest did perk up once Jeri Ryan joined the cast
Okay, Okay, 7of9 DID wear something besides Loose Trousers, and that was good.
BUT;
A) she was few, and far between
B) 7of9 in a Tight Stretchy Mini Dress, would have REALLY GOOD
TV series are a new genre of film, where the writers' bull sessions become visible. Complications thought up and discarded in a regular brainstorming session are not discarded but tried in series, for as long as the audience hangs on. Exposition and denouement are omitted and rising action/climax/falling action inserted seriatim, once for every idea.
The counterpoint variant, run two ideas slightly staggered in parallel at once, instead of one at a time.

I don’t think anybody doubts the existence of Presidential authority. I know I don’t.
We just have a few questions about how it is being wielded these days. And Pompeo seems to have issues with answering tough questions.
Amazon reviewer notices something
Seems there always a mouthy teenage daughter who believes she's smarter than everybody else & puts all in greater danger. Oh yes, daughter has to be a decent sketch artist. All characters take stupid actions that increase danger in order for plot to continue. Yada yada yada. Determined single mum takes superhuman actions to save all. Sound familiar? Yes, over and over again. Give us something new!!!!!!
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but you can’t expect a gay man to enjoy the original Star Trek the same way many of us did.
This blog seems to be turning into a psychodrama.
Why do I care about Pompeo/ Kelly? Answer: I don’t.
Too much hostility to my party from the press over the last 50 years has caused me to have contempt for all members of the press. They want to push a story, not get a story. My contempt has led to complete indifference, with occasional forays to figure out what they got wrong.

We are literally in the middle of a hoaxed up impeachment (which you support) over the President exercising his appropriate Presidential powers after 3+ straight years of you and your dem pals arguing Trunp cannot be allowed to exercise any presidential authority....because history began 15 minutes ago.
