Big Mike said...: Sunny Hostin, co-host of “The View” claims that white suburban women voting Republican “is like roaches voting for Raid.” To a black female lefty, white suburban women are like roaches. Tells you what lefties think of women who care about the education their kids are receiving.; 11/3/22, 9:25 PM

Perhaps Ann will give us an unmoderated thread for the evening so that discussion can continue into the wee hours.

walter said...: “Joe Biden is saying the same thing tonight, and a historian 50 years from now – if historians are allowed to write in this country and if they are still free publishing houses and a free press – which I’m not certain of – but if that is true, a historian will say what was at stake tonight and this week was the fact whether we will be a democracy in the future, whether our children will be arrested and conceivably killed,” said MSNBC commentator Michael Beschloss

Mike of Snoqualmie said...: The last three trees for my observatory clearing were cut today. These three trees were a dual-trunk hemlock that was leaning towards my neighbors house, a multi-trunk (6?) maple with trunks about 6-ft across and a tall spruce with a wavy trunk. A professional tree cutting company came in to cut these trees because they were too dangerous for my excavator to do the cutting.; 11/3/22, 10:04 PM

Jupiter said...: "I just want the Phillies to win. Is that too much to ask?"

I would say that it's exactly the opposite. You are saying that the only thing that matters to you is the result of some bizarre contest in which a few people play with a ball while a few other people make marks on pieces of paper. Meanwhile, the actual City of Philadelphia is a shithole. A hole, filled with reeking shit.; 11/3/22, 10:49 PM
tastid212 said...: I was at a rally tonight where Tulsi was the featured speaker. She’s quite impressive and very compelling.

She really hates how the D party has veered off the cliff, and especially the suppressive methods it has adopted. I sensed there was something more personal deep down in there; I hope she opens up when she writes her memoir.; 11/3/22, 11:01 PM

Saint Croix said...: I don't know why, but tonight at 1:44 a.m., I am farting around on old Althouse threads, and I discovered that some evil Communist and/or TikTok secret agents and/or the dog's owners have removed the dog and the dumpling video.

What is up with that shit?

Is it related to the strange bikini the dog was wearing? Just the bikini bottom, mind you, there was no bikini top. So this was a topless dog video. Maybe that upset some ChiComs. I don't know.

Why would the dog not eat the dumpling, anyway? The dumplings are fine without the fucking sauce. I mean the sauce is okay, I'm not saying I avoid dumpling sauce altogether. It's just not the end of my happy day if I don't have any dumpling sauce. So what does the dog know that I don't know? Why is he in a panic about no dipping sauce?

It's actually fucking strange that a dog is terrified about dumplings. And now they've censored the video!

I feel like this poor dog has been captured by North Koreans -- I just assumed it was China, or Japan, but it could have been fucking North Korea -- and they're holding the dog hostage, and he's trying to warn us, or some damn thing, about all the torture. "Help me! Help me! Free me!" Without words, you know. Maybe he's wagging his tail with morse code messaging.

I don't know, I can't watch the video any more because it's been removed by the state. Or, possibly, it just wasn't cute enough.; 11/4/22, 12:45 AM

typingtalker said...: Nice picture. Reminds me of older Midwest inner city houses ... now gone. First the trees died of old age or were cut down in anticipation. Then the houses suffered partial or total neglect and were ... removed ... as we all moved to the suburbs.; 11/4/22, 5:18 AM
Ann Althouse said...: "Sleep in?"

No. I was up at 5. But I got so absorbed writing this post (which went up at 7:19) that I forgot to watch the clock and get my things together to get out to my spot in time.; 11/4/22, 5:20 AM
Ann Althouse said...: "I don't know, I can't watch the video any more because it's been removed by the state. Or, possibly, it just wasn't cute enough."

I'm thinking it was deemed misinformation. The state doesn't want people to think that dog was expressing its own preferences when it was actually controlled by an off-camera trainer. Or... the state doesn't want people to figure out that the dog is actually controlled and not following its own preferences. If they can figure that out... if that light-bulb turns on... they can figure out... everything.; 11/4/22, 5:26 AM

I caught part of the same exchange while at the laundromat. One of the other panelists - might have been Whoopi - said that Republicans are "like a cult." More confession by projection.; 11/4/22, 8:08 AM
West TX Intermediate Crude said...: There is an accepted concept in the woker corners of organized medicine that patients of color have better outcomes when their physicians are also of (presumable similar) color. The ever diminishing AMA is fully on board with this stuff.

It follows from this that a hospital Emergency Department is knowingly and intentionally providing inferior care when it allows a white physician to care for a patient of color. In order to provide the best care, and to protect itself from legal liability in the event of a poor outcome, that hospital has to have separate facilities for patients of color and white patients. White patients and white medical staff here, Patients and medical staff of color over there. Better outcomes guaranteed.

Now that we have them separate, the hard part will be getting them equal.; 11/4/22, 8:18 AM
who-knew said...: Love the picture. I lived in that neighborhood my sophomore year at UW (we were the only rental on our block). One of my roommates would go on the occasional Sunday AM walk and return with a NY Times or State Journal that he stole of someone's porch. If you missed the paper some Sunday in 1976, I apologize on his behalf. He's a lawyer now in New Jersey.; 11/4/22, 9:12 AM
wendybar said...: NANCY and her committee are lying to us.. WHY are they protecting Ray Epps?? Because he obviously was one of the Governments goons, pushing people to riot. This is all playing out like Nasty Nancy wants it to. It's a shame that she is getting away with this. I can't wait until these political prisoners sue the hell out of her and the government. They are traitors, not the American citizens they put in their DC gulag.

"But Marshall Neefe was not acting alone. Ray Epps was helping Marshall Neefe and others lift the Trump sign and hurl it at police.
Epps was directing protesters that day. Ray Epps encouraged Trump supporters to storm the US Capitol. He is on video on Jan 5th and Jan 6th telling Trump supporters to storm the US Capitol."

wendybar said...: Totally obvious to anybody paying attention....

"The FBI is “rotted at its core,” has a “systemic culture of unaccountability” and is full of “rampant corruption, manipulation and abuse,” according to whistleblowers cited in a damning report released Friday by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee."

wendybar said...: "Why Pelosi didn't try to flee, or tell responding officers he was in distress, is unclear."
Pelosi opened the door to the police and walked BACK to the attacker?? HMMMMM...getting stranger and stranger...WHY didn't he stay behind the police?? WHY did he go back in to the attacker?? Enquiring minds want to know the truth, since the left has been lying about it, just like they are lying about 1/6/21. Show the video tapes. Stop conspiracies...show us the truth.

This was the party of the reports that raised a real flag for me. Opened the door for the police and then went back to the guy with a hammer. 🤷🏻‍♂️; 11/4/22, 9:58 AM

Narr said...: Sounds great, Mike of S.

BUMBLE BEE mentions Brahe, but he had only the Mk. 1 Eyeball, and Mike has lenses(?)

"The Georgian Star" by M G Lemonick is a good short bio of William Herschel; he bobbles some of the background history but the main story is well told. A remarkable man--designed and built his own 'scopes, made his own lenses (the biggest and best in the world)--and his sister was something too.

Dava Sobel's "Galileo's Daughter" is also a worthwhile read if you like astronomy and history.

Genuinely curious,
@Oprah
would you hire

@willcain

What about just working at one of your businesses? What job would you hire
@JohnFetterman
to do
@Oprah
?

Would you let him run any department at any of your businesses?

Would you let him be your chauffeur?

What decisions and responsibility would you entrust to Fetterman?

wendybar said...: And after reporting that Paul Pelosi opened the door for the police, and then went RIGHT back to the attacker and grabbed the hammer, NBC got threatened...and now the video is memory holed. They are hiding the truth from us, because the whole Pelosi thing is a joke, and they tried to use it to attack Republicans and it is backfiring on them.

And then they wonder why we don't trust the media??

tim maguire said...: tim in vermont said...I just want the National League to get rid of the DH, is that too much to ask?

I'm not a fan of the DH, but I'm much more disturbed by interleague play. Baseball was the only sport where, in the championship game, not only had the teams never played each other, they'd never even played teams that had played each other. We really had nothing but the series itself to determine who was the better team. (I have similar feelings about the wild card--they had 162 games to prove they belonged in the playoffs, if they couldn't do it then, why should they get another chance?); 11/4/22, 1:51 PM
