This will not end well.; 11/4/23, 10:18 PM
JK Brown said...: I was just trying to find information on the American hostages in the hands of the Iran proxy, Hamas. A few articles from October 10/11 estimated 20 citing WH spokespeople. I did find an October 20 NPR article on the two American women released and buried deep at the bottom was a number of 10 "according to Blinken".

I was looking because 44 years ago, on Nov 4th, other Iran proxies took 55 Americans hostages. But back then, there was a nightly news program on the crisis. Today, you have to search for information. They are hiding the hostages, perhaps remembering what happened to the weak Democrat president back in 1980.; 11/4/23, 10:29 PM

CBC released a documentary that says Buffy Sainte-Marie ain't Cree.

"An icon’s claims of Indigenous ancestry are being called into question by family members and an investigation that included genealogical documentation, historical research, and personal accounts."

Our children's fond memories of Buffy singing on Sesame Street are destroyed forever.; 11/5/23, 12:05 AM

Big Mike said...: On one of the threads yesterday rcocean scolded us honkies about “white savior complex” and suggested that there’s something wrong with attempting to build a color-blind society. I think I speak for many other honkies when I respond with two points.

First, the people who reject a color-blind society are not the friends of black people. They are doing so on the grounds that black people are inherently inferior to whites and Asians, and cannot survive without explicit set-asides. Out in the real world most of us have had black managers, black colleagues, and black subordinates. Our experiences contradict the notion that blacks are inherently incapable of performing as well as members of other races.

Second, the rest of us honkies reject the notion of “the white man’s burden.” It’s a theory that properly died at the end of the 19th century and efforts to revive it — even under a different name — have no place in the 21st.; 11/5/23, 3:15 AM
Mike of Snoqualmie said...: "Hamas leader’s Gaza home destroyed by airstrike"

"The family residence of Ismail Haniyeh, located in the Shati refugee camp on the northern outskirts of Gaza City, was hit Saturday morning, according to the Hamas-run media outlet in Gaza."

Of course it's in a refugee camp. There should be no refugee camps, there's been enough aid sent to build apartment buildings for everyone. But, the Nazi Scum that lead Gaza divert that aid to build tunnels, rockets, bunkers, and mansions for the leadership.

One mansion down, many more to go. Rubble city awaits all Gazans.

Crucify Hamas, raze Gaza.; 11/5/23, 5:55 AM

Sarah from VA said...: I've been working my way through the works of Willa Cather. I'd seen her name for years on lists of eminent authors but never read anything by her, and now that I have I'm captivated. Something about her writing style -- even when the books seem to be about nothing, or hardly anything at all! -- draws me in. I read the following paragraphs yesterday and it made me think of the sunrise posts here and have to share:

"But the great fact of life, the always possible escape from dullness, was the lake. The sun rose out of it, the day began there; it was like an open door that nobody could shut. The land and all its dreariness could never close in on you. You had only to look at the lake, and you knew you would soon be free. It was the first thing one saw in the morning, across the rugged cow pasture studded with shaggy pines, and it ran through the days like the weather, not a thing thought about, but a part of consciousness itself. When the ice chunks came in of a winter morning, crumbly and white, throwing off gold and rose-coloured reflections from a copper-coloured sun behind the grey clouds, he didn't observe the detail or know what it was that made him happy; but now, forty years later, he could recall all its aspects perfectly. They had made pictures in him when he was unwilling and unconscious, when his eyes were merely open wide." (This is from The Professor's House, by Willa Cather, and it is technically about Lake Michigan but I think smaller Wisconsin lakes can still apply.)

Anyway, thanks for letting us join in on your sunrise project. The sun rises out of it; the day begins there. And what a way to begin! (OK, technically this was posted last night, but I'm starting MY day here.); 11/5/23, 6:37 AM

West TX Intermediate Crude said...: Mike of S. linked to a NY Post story in his post this morning.
I recommend that all follow the link, and watch the less than a minute long video in the "Refugee Camp." It shows the rubble, but also nearby intact concrete multi story buildings, like no "Refugee Camp" I have seen elsewhere. All the people look healthy, all their clothes are clean and intact. No signs of malnutrition or dehydration. A huge excavator rumbles through, powered by diesel that might be best reserved for the cancer hospital that has been closed supposedly for lack of fuel.
Meanwhile, stories of Gaza/Hamas offering to release hostages for a break in the Israeli attacks are bubbling up via Qatar.
Israel's response: Release the hostages, then we can talk.; 11/5/23, 8:59 AM
