Something in the Air
There's something about summer that unhinges people. Some spend way too much on sunscreen and trashy novels and others go crazy in less salubrious ways. Here in NOLA, and in other big cities, it means a spike in violent crime and the hysterical reaction to it. Any time gunfire happens in a tourist area everyone pitches a fit and the Mayor of the day freaks out. The same thing does not happen when gun violence occurs in African-American neighborhoods like Central City or Hollygrove. Imagine that. Others believe that crime can be abolished by means of social programs and education. I … Continue reading Something in the Air

Annual Fundraising Drive: TEN YEARS MAN
We are ten years old. We are in fourth grade. We need new corduroys and school supplies. Ten years ago this weekend, Holden and Tena and pie and I decided we'd had a stellar time guestblogging over at the Crack Den while Atrios was off, I dunno, becoming famous and respectable, and we'd set up shop here at this web site that I had that was basically some password-protected Buffy fanfiction and ranting about people who don't turn their radios down at the drive-thru window at Taco Bell. Those were, of course, good and awful times. Awful: We didn't have … Continue reading Annual Fundraising Drive: TEN YEARS MAN

Headline Of The Day: British Politics Edition
London Mayor Boris Johnson looks and acts like a toon but he’s a master politician. Bozza, as he’s known, is skilled at appearing culturally cool whilst pandering expertly to the Euro-sceptic Tory right. The right wing media love him, other politicians not so much. Boris and Prime Minister Cameron are longtime frenemies. Bozza’s announcement that he plans to return to the House of Commons is a shot across the Cameroonian bow. The Posh Boy is pretending to be pleased by this Johnsonian u-turn. But Johnson is setting himself up to run for the Tory party leadership if they lose the next election. … Continue reading Headline Of The Day: British Politics Edition

The Film Don’t Lie
Isaiah Thomas of the Detroit Pistons took part in a recent “30 for 30” film on his 1980s “Bad Boys” championship teams. To the detractors who said the team was thuggish or that they got lucky in spots, Thomas responded with his standard line: “The film don’t lie.” Watching film can provide you with an amazing amount of detail on that team. The violence it perpetrated on defense and the grace with which it ran fast breaks. The time Rick Mahorn decided to punch out the entire Chicago Bulls team and the feathery shot that Vinnie “The Microwave” Johnson took … Continue reading The Film Don’t Lie
The Fog Of History: Mickey Mouse, Historian Redux
The inspiration for this post title comes from a classic 1999 essay by Gore Vidal, Mickey Mouse, Historian. It describes what happened when a series of programs about the American Presidency that Vidal made for British teevee were televised by the History Channel, which, both then and now, is 50% owned by Disney. History was shocked, shocked that Vidal had a heretical, left-wing take on the Oval Ones. Obviously, the network suits had never read any of his work. They added some commentators to rip Vidal's work apart and spout the conventional right wing wisdom espoused to this day by the History mice. The … Continue reading The Fog Of History: Mickey Mouse, Historian Redux
Mad Men Thread: Withdrawal Symptoms
If you're like me, you're Jonesing for more Mad Men after seeing a mere half season in 2014. Now we have to wait a full fucking year for more. I cannot help you there, but I can share some links to some of the best Mad Men writing on the interweb to keep you going in between seasons. What's great about the show is that it lends itself to varying interpretations, which is why it's so damn fun to write about. There are some very good writers and online publications posting about Mad Men. I'll post some links after the break, but first a message from the Sterlings:

Odds & Sods: Reading List Edition
I have my umpteenth cold of 2014, so instead of writing something brilliant (as if) I decided to share a few articles with y’all that have caught my attention in the last week or so. Sterling’s Fold: This is Bill Simmons’ take on the Sterling clusterfuck and includes a *really* interesting account of a commercial flight Simmons took with Sterling and V Stiviano. Benghazi and the Bombshell: Everyone’s been talking about Joe Hagan’s piece about Lara Logan, 60 Minutes and her horrendously irresponsible story about Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi. I was a lifelong 60 Minutes viewer but that story was the … Continue reading Odds & Sods: Reading List Edition
Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – No Bundy Tonight In My Coffee edition
Good morning, all!
Well, I was checking the new drums of stupid sitting in the staging area, and the most remarkable thing has happened – all the Bundy drums are gone! Vanished! As if they had never existed!
The posts (which had been running around 8-15 threads per day for a month and a half) just stop on April 30. That means no threads whatsoever in the last 5 days. Imagine that. Oh well – down the memory hole.
That means it’s time for – Affluenza, or lesbians??
Rich man who pled guilty to raping his young daughter gets probation
Hotair ^Posted on 3/31/2014 11:36:44 PM by chessplayer
Via David Freddoso, money can’t buy happiness and it can’t buy love but maybe it can buy you a light sentence after you molest your three-year-old.
A Superior Court judge who sentenced a wealthy du Pont heir to probation for raping his 3-year-old daughter noted in her order that he “will not fare well” in prison and needed treatment instead of time behind bars, court records show.
Judge Jan Jurden’s sentencing order for Robert H. Richards IV suggested that she considered unique circumstances when deciding his punishment for fourth-degree rape. Her observation that prison life would adversely affect Richards was a rare and puzzling rationale, several criminal justice authorities in Delaware said. Some also said her view that treatment was a better idea than prison is a justification typically used when sentencing drug addicts, not child rapists…

Via David Freddoso, money can’t buy happiness and it can’t buy love but maybe it can buy you a light sentence after you molest your three-year-old.
A Superior Court judge who sentenced a wealthy du Pont heir to probation for raping his 3-year-old daughter noted in her order that he “will not fare well” in prison and needed treatment instead of time behind bars, court records show.
Judge Jan Jurden’s sentencing order for Robert H. Richards IV suggested that she considered unique circumstances when deciding his punishment for fourth-degree rape. Her observation that prison life would adversely affect Richards was a rare and puzzling rationale, several criminal justice authorities in Delaware said. Some also said her view that treatment was a better idea than prison is a justification typically used when sentencing drug addicts, not child rapists…

Ulp.
Did one of the 1%ers let the Freeperati down? Did the doctrine of Ayn Rand just take a real-world pounding?

To: GeronLPrison? Assuming the facts are as presented, the judge should be hanged from the nearest tree.

To: chessplayerSorry, but stories like this do not deserve an audience. Yes we should be informed, but to read this is painful, something I do not want to know. p>
There’s GOTTA be some way they can pin this on the other side. Has to be.

Biased much? Just wait for the class warefare to ensue… Take. The. Bait.
