When You're Forced to Cheer for the Man Who Raped You

Steve Johnson is a receiver for the Buffalo Bills (a professional American-rules football team, for readers that might not be familiar with this). He dropped a pass on Sunday which, if caught, would have won his team the game. His response was to post the following on Twitter:
As Rumproast pointed out, it's actually refreshing to see a professional athlete show some consistency: if God is responsible for every touchdown and homerun, then he needs to be equally responsible for the strikes and dropped passes.
Yesterday the Arizona Cardinals - yes, another NFL team - lost rather badly to the San Francisco 49ers. At one point late in the game the Cardinals quarterback was seen laughing alongside another player, which quickly became the focus of the postgame press conference.
Head coach Ken Whisenhunt was asked after the game about two of his players laughing and joking on the sideline in the death throes of their season. "I didn't see that, and I'd be disappointed if that was the case," Whisenhunt said. "I didn't sense, with talking to Derek in the fourth quarter, and from talking with our offensive line, that that was the case. So until I see that, I would be hesitant to say anything about it."
One reporter, Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic, asked, "I don't mean this to be sarcastic, or pointed, but that went out on Monday night television, and a lot of fans are talking about it right now as a big problem with this team. Can you put into context what was going on at that moment, and what caused you to ..."
Anderson cut him off. "What Deuce and I talk about is nobody else's business."
Somers: "But why was something funny when you're down 18 points n the fourth quarter?"
Anderson: "It wasn't funny -- I wasn't laughing about anything."
Somers: "But the cameras showed you laughing ..."
Anderson (cutting the reporter off again): "Okay, that's fine. That's fine, that's fine, that's fine. That's fine. I'm not laughing about it. You think this is funny? I take this [bleep] serious! Real serious! I put my heart and soul into this [bleep] every single week!"
It's a game, folks. A leisure activity. A sport. I sometimes wonder if the way we treat certain sports in this country is a good illustration of how completely out-of-whack our priorities are. This last Saturday we were almost late to my daughter's soccer game because Interstate 70 was completely shut down so that a couple of buses with the KU Jayhawks football team could enter the freeway unmolested on their way to Arrowhead Stadium and a game against the Missouri Tigers.
I'm still livid that one of the busiest freeways in the entire nation was completely blocked by the police so that a bunch of blubbery steroid addicts could get to a game a few minutes eariler.
No wonder the banksters are able to collect billions in bonuses while they extort billions from taxpayers; as a nation we're also perfectly fine with paying chemically enhanced, illiterate man-children millions upon millions to play games. As much as the banksters are parasites upon our economy, I'm willing to admit that they're more valuable to us than Steve Johnson or Derek Anderson.

The battle over both Don't Ask, Don't Tell feels both increasingly anachronistic and vicious, the last gasps of a dangerous, but dying enemy. There is little support for DADT left out there, yet segments of the body politic will continue to fight to the bitter end to prevent repeal. Why is this so?
It seems to me that it comes down to the fact that stigmatization of homosexuality is rapidly receding in this society, particularly when one excludes the attitudes of senior citizens. The inability of gays to serve in the military and to marry represent two of the last meaningful barriers to full societal acceptance. When these barriers fall -- and fall they will -- there will be virtually no remaining mainstream social/cultural/political obstacles to gay acceptance.
And this is terrifying to the evangelical set. It will be an irreversible loss in the culture wars, one which will graphically illustrate the likely long term marginalization of a once potent force.
It can't happen soon enough. (h/t oddjob.)

"Gimme Shelter" - Rolling Stones (Live at Altamont 1969 and London, 1973)
Finishing up the day's work here, but wanted to invite your thoughts on things.
I'll end my Keith Richards worship here for a while. Two sonically different versions of one of the greatest songs ever. The first is a bit ragged and ominous sounding, with an unusually heavy bass line from Bill Wyman, and what I am pretty sure are Richards' jagged leads. The second, near the end of the Mick Taylor era, features Taylor playing soaring leads to Richards churning rhythm riffs. A band at the height of its powers (and never to quite fully reach them again).
Until later this evening.

Maybe I am inordinately cynical, but thus far I have seen nothing shocking in the most recent wikileaks document dump, this TPM article notwithstanding.
Is it really surprising that authoritarian, Sunni, Arab regimes would like the U.S. to do the dirty work of removing what they perceive to be as the Iranian and Shiite threat to the region? I would suggest that the fact of such support does not, in any way, improve the case for attacking Iran. The funny thing about authoritarian regimes is that they often do not reflect the opinions of their general publics nor are they repositories of great foreign policy wisdom. Their leaders have their own selfish interests at heart, interests that do not often reflect the best interests of the United States. This seems to me childishly obvious.
The other items noted by TPM -- that North Korea furnished Iran with missile technology, that Iran used the Red Crescent for improper ends during the last Israeli-Lebanon conflict, that the State Department wants foreign service officers to obtain information about their counterparts, and that diplomats traffic in gossip hardly rise to the level of shocking.
In short, unlike the disturbing (if already suspected) revelations from wikileaks regarding the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and the tactics associated with them, this seems to me to be a pretty hohum release thus far, even if it is an uncomfortable one from a diplomatic perspective for the Obama Administration.
Am I missing something? Or have I lived in DC too long?

Did anyone else smell something fishy when the FBI trumpeted its apprehending of this Somali-born teenager in Oregon? They set up a sting operation calculated to entice him to commit a crime, then they act like they've captured one of the most notorious criminal masterminds on the planet. Mohamed Osman Mohamud apparently thought he was going to detonate a van full of explosives at a crowded Portland market. This article in the NYT -- FBI Says Oregon Suspect Planned 'Grand' Attack -- seems awfully triumphal. Maybe he is some kind of grand master, but it sounds more like the FBI planned the attack, brought a dumb young disaffected kid in on it, arrested him, and are now patting themselves on the back for it.
Also, maybe some questions about why these young men are becoming radicalized would be in order. But that would involve questioning U.S. foreign policy.

Not that we've got any chance of getting it, mind you, but this is what pundits given a platform by networks and major newspapers should be providing.
My list's really pretty short: they should have a sense of the big picture, and have a sense of where the issue du jour fits into it; they should demonstrate awareness of at least the basic facts relating to the issues they write about; they should provide genuine insight, rather than stale, warmed-over conventional wisdom; they should ask themselves good questions; and they should be willing to rebut the strongest counterarguments to their positions, rather than knocking down strawmen or ignoring those arguments entirely.
That doesn't seem like a lot to ask. But Salon's Hack 30 list that Sir Charles kindly brought to our attention points up the tremendous distance between the pundits the big papers and the Sunday talk shows inflict on us, and the pundits we ought to have. It was quite the reminder that most of them - especially the most influential - are hacks, bringing nothing new to our understanding of anything, and often making us more confused and ignorant than we would have been if we hadn't read them.
For instance, on the matter of the big picture, I would guess that the crew of center-right pundits at the WaPo (like Broder, Hiatt, Marcus, Ignatius, Samuelson, etc., as opposed to nowhere-near-center conservative pundits like Will, Krauthammer, Gerson, Thiessen, etc.) aren't global-warming deniers, or even climate change skeptics, really. But it doesn't inform their perspective on American politics in the least that this is the biggest issue of the 21st century, bigger than the deficit or rising Medicare costs or the GWoT, and that we've got less time to deal with climate change than we have time to deal with the deficit or the Social Security shortfall or anything else they get worked up about.
And climate change deniers such as Will should take on the strongest arguments in favor of climate change, rather than beating up on strawmen, or finding excuses to avoid the argument entirely (e.g. the pathetic 'back in the 1970s, scientists believed that global cooling was what we should be worried about' shtick).
Pundits are free, if they wish, to be as heartless as they want, and to regard 9.6% unemployment (and U-6 at 17%) as a nonproblem, but the crew of center-right pundits that, for whatever reasons, believe that the deficit rather than unemployment is the problem that must be dealt with right now should at least do their basic reading on where the deficit comes from, and ask themselves good questions about how it might most easily be fixed.
For instance, they ought to be aware that spending by government at all levels hasn't gone up any faster during and 'after' (if you can call this 'after') the recession than it did in the rest of the past decade - but on the other hand, revenue has crashed through the floor. So they might should ask themselves what went wrong with revenue - that would be (a) the Bush tax cuts, (b) unemployment at 9.6% and unemployment/underemployment combined at 17% mean a whole bunch of people aren't paying taxes because they have no income, and (c) many businesses are paying less in taxes because they have less income because the unemployed and underemployed don't buy nearly as much stuff from them.
Then they might think, "maybe the best way to go is to put people back to work and repeal the Bush tax cuts." If they'd gotten this far, you'd expect them to be rooting for Congressional gridlock to block a deal on extension of the tax cuts (I haven't seen anything like that), and you might expect them to ask whether America had any work that desperately needed doing that might put people back to work, in which case they might notice that we have a large pile of unmet infrastructure needs, as a slew of people (including our old friend Ezra Klein in the print version of the WaPo) have pointed out.
And if there's a useful contribution that deficit-hawk-style pundits really could make to the dialogue, it's about infrastructure. After all, it takes no insight at all to say, "Deficits bad - cutting spending for non-rich people good." Infrastructure deficits are in the same unglamorous eat-your-spinach category of issues, except that they're mostly swept under the rug. Nobody's demagoguing about our aging water and sewer systems, or about the gaps in our freight rail system, because nobody's talking about them at all - which is exactly why some pundit attention to such issues might be useful.
But instead, we've got the pundit corps that we've got. Too bad there isn't a drug we could slip them all that would leave them exactly as they are, minus the desire to say anything to the larger public about the issues of the day. Because if there were...

Gloved: TSA spreading infection? Latex coverings 'have been in crotches, armpits, touching people who may be ill'
TSA Groin-Searches Menstruating Woman
TSA Blog: Scabies at Boston Logan
Any other oubreaks? Who knows? No word yet on whether public health people and other medical professionals care about this.
(And yes, you have the "right" to ask an agent to change into clean gloves: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, has issued this statement: "If you are traveling and are going to be searched, you can request that the TSA agent change his or her gloves." Good luck with that. Nah, that won't get you further harassed.)

. . . After begging him to figure it out, they finally let me through. I called and complained to TSA and was instructed to travel with the TSA breast milk rules printed out and present them whenever there is a problem.
As my items come through security this time, I notice immediately that I was dealing with the same people from the week before. The woman tells me right away that my milk might have to go through the x-ray, and then I tell her I printed the rules. I go to grab the rules on top of my bag and she freaks out and pushes my arm away. Another guy comes over and calls for “back up” and they put in me back in the glass cage. Standing 50 ft away are the same manager and supervisor I had dealt with the previous week.
They will stall for 20 minutes before coming over to me.
Meanwhile, one of the guys comes over to me and tells me “to be quiet if I know what’s good for me.” At the end of this portion I have been locked up for just under 10 minutes. The whole ordeal takes just under 1 hour.
. . . In this segment, the TSA manager tells me I can leave security, redistribute the milk into half full containers (his completely made-up rule) and go through security all over again if I want to avoid x-rays on the milk.
With tears continuing to stream down my face, I did that.
I also missed my flight playing along with his ridiculous game. Curiously, my second screening video (another 20 minutes) has been erased . . . .
By Stacey Armato. Read the whole thing here.
UPDATE: Watch the video, which is now all over the web. They make her wait over 40 minutes in the glass prison booth, then close the security line so no other passengers come through, then take her out and search her. What can we conclude but that they do this so no one else can witness them harassing her?

I'd like to buy it dinner and whisper sweet nothings in its ear.
The War Room's "Hack Thirty" journalists. My only complaint -- why stop at thirty. I don't think fifty would have been a stretch.
The top four are a pretty good illustration of the hackery concept -- Richard Cohen, Mark Halperin, Thomas Friedman, and David Broder. If I had to quibble I would move Cohen down the list -- not because he is not an egregious hack -- he most certainly is -- but rather, because I can't think of anyone who takes Richard Cohen seriously, which, sadly, is not the case with Messrs. Halperin, Friedman, and Broder. I'm also not sure about Marty Peretz at number five, because I am afraid what Peretz does -- the routine engaging of hate speech in an allegedly respectable publication -- should not be trivialized as mere hackery.
I would be inclined to move David Brooks way up the list and ignore Peretz as someone not fit for polite company. You could throw in Krauthammer in his stead.

"Black Friday" - Steely Dan
Sorry for the light posting, but we're actually hosting people today for a delayed Thanksgiving feast. I've got to go make guest beds and figure out when the turkey should go in the oven.
I vastly prefer these labors to the thought of joining the throngs out shopping. I must say, "Black Friday" is one of those new-found "traditions" that I don't get at all.
I hope most of you are enjoying a day of leisure. Hope to be able to post something of substance this evening.

"American Tune" - Paul Simon
Just a gorgeous, evocative song.
Wishing a happy Thanksgiving to the entire Cogblog family.
I'm sticking close to home for the first time in years. We're actually having company tomorrow and putting on the big meal then. Today, alas, will be cooking, cleaning, preparing, and hopefully, a little football, and possibly a movie later on.
What are you all doing?

“We did the Cole and we wanted the United States to react. And if they reacted, they are going to invade Afghanistan and that’s what we want … . Then we will start holy war against the Americans, exactly like the Soviets.”
— Mohammed Atef, military commander of Al Qaeda, in November of 2000
So many of us have been saying that Afghanistan is Obama's Vietnam. But now it looks like it may be even worse.

Oh, MHB is gonna love this! Representative Todd Akin, Republican of Missouri, takes to the House floor to regale us with stories of how the Pilgrims were so adventurous and free-spirited and such a "great bunch of Americans; there were knife fights in cabins -- I haven't had time to cover all that with you, but the basics are there."
And they "came here with the idea that, after trying socialism, that it wasn't going to work. They realized that it was un-Biblical and it was a form of theft. So they pitched socialism out; they learned that in the early 1620s."
Golly gee! Those Pilgrims were so far ahead of their time, they went Back to the Future!

Amazing story in the Washington Post today about the building of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial . The memorial, which is being built through a private foundation but on federal park land on the national mall, includes a large sculpture of King's image. This massive statue is being assembled by workers from China who it appears may not be getting paid at all for their work. In other words, the equivalent of slave labor is being used to build a memorial to Dr. King. Here is how the Chinese workers described their compensation arrangement:
They work for a sculpting company in Hunan province and have no idea what they will be paid for their work on the King memorial. They expect to be paid when they get home.
In response to protests from the local Bricklayers Union, Harry Johnson, Sr., the head of the King Memorial Foundation (and a lawyer and law professor of course), had the balls to issue this statement:
While 95% of the work is being done by American workers, we strongly believe that we should not exclude anyone from working on this project simply because of their religious beliefs, social background or country of origin.
Well I strongly believe that MLK, Jr., a man who was assassinated following a rally on behalf of striking sanitation workers, would be incredibly offended that those who were building his image were not being paid for the work that they were doing and that a tribute to him was being used as a vehicle to undermine the standard of living of workers. That someone purporting to act on his behalf would then engage in this kind of bullshit demagoguery, implying that the objection here has something to do with the ethnicity of the exploited workers, is even more sickening.
I just sent them an email that reads as follows:
I am sure Dr. King would be very proud of the use of slave labor from China on the job.
It is totally consonant with his vision of workers being paid whatever and whenever their government or employer decides. (Oh wait a minute . . .)
This is so shameful that it's beyond shameful.
I don't know what else to say. Feel free to let the leadership of the Memorial know how impressed you are by their fidelity to Dr. King's principles.

The only Senator to vote against the Patriot Act:
“Some have said rather cavalierly that in these difficult times we must accept some reduction in our civil liberties in order to be secure.
“Of course, there is no doubt that if we lived in a police state, it would be easier to catch terrorists. If we lived in a country that allowed the police to search your home at any time for any reason; if we lived in a country that allowed the government to open your mail, eavesdrop on your phone conversations, or intercept your email communications; if we lived in a country that allowed the government to hold people in jail indefinitely based on what they write or think, or based on mere suspicion that they are up to no good, then the government would no doubt discover and arrest more terrorists.
“But that probably would not be a country in which we would want to live. And that would not be a country for which we could, in good conscience, ask our young people to fight and die. In short, that would not be America.”
Thank you, Russ Feingold, and thank you, Kelly Vlahos.

Cassandra
I heard one who said: "Verily,
What word have I for children here?
Your Dollar is your only Word,
The wrath of it your only fear.
"You build it altars tall enough
To make you see but you are blind;
You cannot leave it long enough
To look before you or behind.
"When Reason beckons you to pause,
You laugh and say that you know best;
But what it is you know, you keep
As dark as ingots in a chest.
"You laugh and answer, 'We are young;
Oh, leave us now, and let us grow:'
Not asking how much more of this
Will Time endure or Fate bestow.
"Because a few complacent years
Have made your peril of your pride,
Think you that you are to go on
Forever pampered and untried?
"What lost eclipse of history,
What bivouac of the marching stars,
Has given the sign for you to see
Milleniums and last great wars?
"What unrecorded overthrow
Of all the world has ever known,
Or ever been, has made itself
So plain to you, and you alone?
"Your Dollar, Dove, and Eagle make
A Trinity that even you
Rate higher than you rate yourselves;
It pays, it flatters, and it's new.
"And though your very flesh and blood
Be what the Eagle eats and drinks,
You'll praise him for the best of birds,
Not knowing what the eagle thinks.
"The power is yours, but not the sight;
You see not upon what you tread;
You have the ages for your guide,
But not the wisdom to be led.
"Think you to tread forever down
The merciless old verities?
And are you never to have eyes
To see the world for what it is?
"Are you to pay for what you have
With all you are?"--No other word
We caught, but with a laughing crowd
Moved on. None heeded, and few heard.
-- Edwin Arlington Robinson, American poet and three-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize.

Because we don't know the territory.
It's been time to go for awhile now. We're killing people and blowing up their homes, fields, and farms (which we think will pay off because it puts them in touch with the local government - yes, we're that far through the looking glass). They don't want us there, they don't know that this doesn't have anything to do with 9/11, and probably wouldn't care: they've got their own problems. We're doing counterinsurgency on behalf of a corrupt government that's probably playing both sides, and our main ally in the region, Pakistan, is unquestionably playing both sides. We don't speak the language, we don't know the players, our mission is unclear and our tactics seem divorced from what more or less appears to be our mission.
I was willing to hold fire for a little while on reports that our negotiations with the Taliban were getting somewhere. But we were just getting hustled, because we don't know WTF is going on.
Fuck this shit. We're not doing any good over there, we're not going to do any good over there, the people we're fighting against live there, know the territory, care more about it, and will be there after we're gone, no matter how long we stay. It's time to get the hell out of Dodge.
And the end of the fight is a tombstone white, with the name of the late deceased, And the epitaph drear: "A fool lies here who tried to hustle the East."

Longtime consumer advocate Christopher Elliott reports a turning of the tide: a weekend poll by the Consumer Travel Alliance indicates that 70% of air travelers now support National Opt-Out Day.
Yes, I know that doesn't mean that 70% of travelers are actually going to opt-out. When push comes to shove, I understand that many will not. But it's the support, for now, that's impressive.

Jackson Diehl, another of the WaPo's Israel-first foreign policy "experts," weighed in with a column yesterday criticizing Obama for being stuck in 1983 in terms of his foreign policy concerns, i.e. his desire to bring about an Israeli-Palestinian settlement and to get the START treaty with Russia ratified. According to Diehl, this is the result of hopeless nostalgia for the cutting edge issues from when Obama was in college. In Diehl's world, securing loose nukes and resolving the festering sore in the Middle East is the equivalent of listening to "Flock of Seagulls" records.
Evidently, the fact that Netanyahu says he supports the idea of a two-state solution is enough to render it done -- there is no need to stop settlements, no need to go about the difficult work of hammering out a deal, it's a fait accompli. Talk about magical thinking.
And the idea of getting better control over the world's second largest nuclear arsenal -- according to Diehl, it's "at best an indirect benefit."
And what are the cutting edge issues that Diehl wants Obama to concentrate on? Why stopping the expansion of Iranian influence and keeping the likes of Syria (Syria??) from getting nuclear weapons. How forward thinking and revolutionary.
Best of all, Diehl criticizes Obama for not having a foreign policy visionary like Henry Kissinger or, and I do not jest, Condoleeza Rice, in his administration. The mind boggles.
If Diehl is not on Likud's payroll, he is a profoundly stupid man.

"Yer Blues" - The Dirty Mac
Definite Corvus bait here -- John Lennon on vocals and rhythm guitar, Eric Clapton on lead guitar, Mitch Mitchell on drums, and Keith Richards on bass. Great version of the song -- much more propulsive than the White Album version, which is kind of a blues-dirge -- I think in large part because of the way Richards lays down the bass line. (Is it me, or is Eric Clapton almost featureless? A guy who looks like he does strictly on the basis of his hair cut, or facial hair, or glasses, but with no actual recognizable face?) Richards, by the way, used to make fun of Lennon for wearing his guitar up too high -- he's right, innit he?
Deep thought for the evening -- the New York Times is the most prestigious newspaper in America and yet it appears that one can get a spot on its op-ed page by being either stupid or childishly stupid. Discuss.

In clear contradiction of what Transportation Security Administration officials have stated in the past, a man was arrested for videotaping TSA officials at San Diego International Airport Friday.
Sam Wolanyk was also charged with "failing to complete the security process" - even though he seemed more than happy to allow them to search him when he stripped down to his underwear.
Wolanyk initially was asked to step into the see-through scanner, but opted to have them pat him down instead.
That was when he stripped down to his underwear . . .
Wolanyk was then paraded through two terminals in his underwear. At one point during this interaction, he videotaped TSA officials with his iPhone, which was confiscated.
The incident was confirmed by Harbor Police Sergeant Rakos who said Wolanyk was arrested on two misdemeanors, “failing to complete the security process; violation code 7.01 and illegally recording the San Diego Airport Authority (they confiscated his iPhone); violation number 7.14 (a).”
It is not clear which "violation codes" he violated. A search though severalSan Diego city and county codes did not produce anything remotely close to what is listed above . . . .
