Acknowledging of course, that Meadehouse may be in NYC or Chicago or the Rockies at the time, but if I had a Bucket List for that area of our beautiful country, this would be on it.; 3/21/23, 8:32 PM

Rider on teh Storm
Rider on teh Storm

[Chorus 2]
Into this world we’re born
Into this world we’re thrown
Would you throw this dog a bone
You know she’s trained to moan
Rider on teh Storm

[Verse 1]
They put it up on CBS
On 60 Minutes, more or less
Kissed ass of Ayatollah
Gave Clinton Sistah Souldjah
But she gave this man a ride
Is important? You decide
First Lady burnin’ cold

[Verse 2]
Girl she really loved dat man
Girl she really loved dat man
Took all of that guy’s hand
Smallest in teh land
He’ll soon wear teh Depends
We ask when this will end
Really loved dat man
[Chorus 1]
Rider on teh Storm
Rider on teh Storm

[Chorus 2]
Into this world we’re born
Into this world we’re thrown
Would you throw this dog a bone
You know she’s trained to moan

[Chorus 1]
Rider on teh Storm
Rider on teh Storm
Rider on teh Storm
Rider on teh Storm

Chuck said...: Althouse I am writing this just a little before 9pm your time in Madison, and by the time this comment gets posted on Wednesday morning, the deadline that was just imposed by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals in the matter of Trump attorney Evan Corcoran's grand jury appearance will have passed. It's a 6am (Eastern) deadline, following a midnight (tonight) deadline and the stuff in question is not yet clear but may be legally mind-blowing. It appears that there may be recordings of conversations between Corcoran that may be transcribed, and other documentary evidence that goes to the "crime-fraud exception" to attorney-client privilege.

All the litigators are scratching our heads and wondering if anybody has ever heard of a midnight ~ 6am briefing schedule; nobody has.

Will be wild.; 3/21/23, 9:03 PM

Humperdink said...: Gary Saul Morson, writing on “Do Russians Worship War?” in the current issue of Commentary:

"Americans all too often presume that everyone else aspires to live and think as we do. Others must share our values, if only in secret, or at least be eager to learn them. This is a dangerous attitude to take with any nation or culture, but perhaps especially so with Russians—and never more so than when the topic is war. Russians simply do not think about war in the way Americans do. .....

Also clear is his confidence that Russia can outlast its foes and that Western powers will tire of paying for a war before Russians tire of dying in it." (Via Power Line)

Paragraph one confirms why the US forays into middle eastern nation building was a resounding failure. We'll see how paragraph two plays out, but I suspect the writer is correct there also.; 3/22/23, 6:08 AM
wendybar said...: "I’ve been on an emotional roller coaster today. This is the third time we’ve had perpetrators of a racially motivated incident identified as African-Americans," Sacramento attorney Mark Harris — contracted last year by the district as a diversity, equity, and inclusion monitor — told the Bee. "It’s pretty bad when our kids, for whatever reason, think that it would be popular for them to have a negative depiction of our own.”

Humperdink said...: "As economist Walter E. Williams* informed in 2020, if "one totaled up the earnings and spending of Black Americans and considered us as a separate nation with our own gross domestic product, we would rank well within the top 20 richest nations." Williams also added that "as a group, Black Americans have made the greatest gains ... in a shorter span of time than any other racial group in history."

Lurker21 said...: I haven't seen the Morson article yet, but I'm skeptical of speculation about "the Russians" and war. How different are post-1991 Russians from other people in the developed world? How different is their thinking from ours? There is a feeling that the country has been betrayed or disgraced, but does that translate into a desire for war? And what conclusions would an outsider looking at America's wars come to about Americans' attitude toward war?; 3/22/23, 11:36 AM
