The Devil wears…Bauer?
Â
Ol' Nick must be lacing 'em up right now, 'cuz there will surely be a lot of ice skating going on in hell tonight. Why? Because on this day I find myself to be in agreement with not only one, but two of the demi-gods of the nutroot left; Howard Dean and Keith Olbermann, and surely that must mean that Hell is freezing over! The Devil you say!?! No, that would be the guy who'll be leading the all skate...
What in Heavens the world would I be  in agreement with Messers Dean and Olbermann over?  Why, Obamacare of course. Sit a spell, while I explain this extraordinary confluence of opinions on what the Senate's course of action should be; after all, the Devil is in the details.
Last night during his Speshul KKKomment segment Keith Olbermann declared that he'd  go to jail before complying with any federal mandate to buy health insurance:
“We must not buy federally-mandated insurance, if this cheesy counterfeit of reform is all we can buy. No single payer, no sale. No public option, no sale. No Medicare buy-in, no sale. I am one of the self-insured, albeit by choice, and I hereby pledge that I will not buy this perversion of health-care reform.â€
I am one of the self-insured, albeit by choice. And I hereby pledge that I will not buy this perversion of health-care reform. Pass this at your peril, senators. And sign it at yours, Mr. President. I will not buy this insurance. Brand me a law-breaker if you choose. Fine me if you will. Jail me if you must.
Ooooooooh, how edgy and bad-boy of modern day Murrow; I'm sure that'll get him a load of chicks at the Daily KKKos KKKafe. After reading this quote, Cap'n Ed shrewdly observed:
What Olbermann says here is that while he’s self-insured by choice now, he doesn’t think that’s a choice other Americans should be able to make if the federal government offers a public plan along with the mandate. Does that make any sense at all? Would Olbermann dump his self-insurance, presumably taking advantage of HSAs and market-based competition for his health-care dollars, in favor of a Medicare buy-in or a public option? After all, Olbermann seems blessed with good health, and withholding himself from the risk pools could be arguably skewing costs upwards (infinitesimally) for other Americans. And if that seems like a silly argument, well, that’s the argument for insisting on a mandate in the first place.
[emphasis-ed.]
By itself, this far-left flagellant's declaration of opposition to Obamacare alone would be enough to schedule a 4 hour program of "So You Think You Can Ice Dance With Beelzebub", but the addition of MarKKKos and former Presidential candidate, darling of the fightin' nutroots, Howard Dean to the kvetching chorus is enough to buy at least another few episodes. From Dean's Washington Post op-ed:
If I were a senator, I would not vote for the current health-care bill. (...) In Washington, when major bills near final passage, an inside-the-Beltway mentality takes hold. Any bill becomes a victory. Clear thinking is thrown out the window for political calculus. In the heat of battle, decisions are being made that set an irreversible course for how future health reform is done. The result is legislation that has been crafted to get votes, not to reform health care.
This is all just too good to check. But wait! There's more! Not only has this touched off a low level, but high intensity, war between the White House, "face" work provided by spokes-tool Robert Gibbs, and the "Dean" of the nutroots, but as ACE reports, it now comes complete with it's own "Dean is just bitter over Obama snubbing" meta-narrative. That's not all though, today on "Morning Joe" Josef Goebbles David Axelrod said that those on the left who wanted to kill this bill were "insane"; well at least he's got Dean pegged right. What a bargain! Better than Sham-Wow!
In spite of how sweet all of this schadenfreude tastes, don't forget about all of the tasty side dishes, one being the major labor union's absence at a major Obamacare rally and instead holding an "emergency meeting" to decide their position on the bill; a development AllahP likened to, "the Kiss army turning on Gene Simmons". Another would have to be both Howard Dean and the leader of the Congressional progressives, Lynn Woolsey,  vowing to not only oppose the bill but to also sit on their hands in 2010 and 2012!  I wonder if the legacy media will be as interested in the Democrats civil war as they were with the Republican "purity" tests? Don't. Make. Me. Laugh...
But I can't help it really. Don't these idiots remember recent history?  This is the analogue of the formula that killed the immigration amnesty bill in 2007; just enough of the far-left opposing the bill because "it didn't go far enough!1!1!!eleventy" joined with the Republicans to defeat the President's bill. And all of the Sanders/Olbermann/Dean/MarKKKos drama doesn't even take into account Ben Nelsons declaration this afternoon that the compromise language on Abortion didn't go far enough; a sure signal for other blue dogs, who are looking for guidance, that it will be safe for them to vote against Obamacare too. If Reid compromises further with conservatives in order to get the blue dog votes, he will certainly lose any of the far left that are willing to grit their teeth and vote for a bill with no public option in both the Senate and the house. Add to all of this the President's, and the health care bull's, deflating poll numbers, and with that it seems that the stalemate is set.
I never expected to be relying on guys like these as purely political allies. And I wonder if it's safe to think of them like members of Wellington's army, lying on the unseen far side of rolling terrain, waiting to spring a surprise attack on Obama L'empereur just when he thought he was winning the day. Whatever role they're playing is unimportant really, as long as they're playing on our side; and adding their sway in the effort to see OPERATION WATERLOO through to it's successful conclusion.
So stay strong, remember to do your part to make your voice heard and fan this firestorm. Call your representatives and tell them to vote NO! on this bill; if they're liberal tell them it's due to the lack of public option, if they're conservative tell them you oppose it's lack of free market mechanisms. In either case, tell them that should they vote for this abomination, not only will you not vote for them in the next election, but will actively and tirelessly work to oppose their re-election.
Although we now have a few of the big guns of the far-left joining the call to kill this bill, only you can ensure that OPERATION WATERLOO is a success through your continued pressure on the politicians. Stay strong, and stay vigilant, stay vocal, stay committed, and stay active because they may be trying to sneak a vote through on Christmas Eve!

Does the bill address portability issues in the private sector? No…
Does it address tort reform? No…
Does it allow for, you know, actual competition by allowing insurance companies to sell policies across state lines? No…
And why doesn’y it do these things? Because they assumed that the trojan-horse-to-single-payer-system, euphamistically called “the public option”, would cure all ills, including putting the eeeevvoollll! insurance companies out of business…
Oh, and the military is not welfare, but a noble and honorable profession; and of course the government pays for it you dope! I mean, it’s the defense of our nation…

I’d prefer that some federal regulation be created vis-a-vis health insurance reform instead of, you know, effectively nationalizing that industry…
Or would it be more correct to note that, much like Standard Oil did in the early days, the government would merely undercut the price until they had gained the monopoly share of the business by successfully putting all of the other companies out of business…

Are you talking about AIG? Yeah, I opposed that too, but it was less nationaizing than a bailout. And I know you’ll erupt into one of your fits about how I know nothing, AIG was necessary, blah-blah-blah…A considerable portion of their pay-outs went to foreign central banks and Goldman Sachs; and they paid full money as opposed to the fractions that could have been negotiated if bankruotcy had been a real possibility…
And I’m aware that Standard Oil was a private company; i was using them as an example of taking a short term loss to gain long term control over a market-like the “public option” would have done to the private insurance companies…
And once again, you invoke Hannity, and once again only you are citing him…

No, Scare Pee, I was not referring to AIG, the pillar of our capitalist insurance sector.
The government already offers flood insurance where the private sector fails in the free market yet State Farm still profitably exists. That the government already competes with prop and casualty insurers is what I referenced, d-bag.
WalMart is an example of using loss-leader pricing, which is what you’re attempt to cite, not Standard Oil. If you knew anything about Standard Oil then you’d know they were brought down for monopolistic anti-competitive behavior, such as using Henry Flagler’s railroad while making a deal with Henry-boy so that no other competitors could.
You don’t know anything about the “free market,” Scare Pee, and that’s because you’re a non-practicing capitalist wanna-be-boi, much the same as you’re a non-practicing Catholic. And Scare Pee, market pricing and capitalism is anything but an American institution. You hide behind facades and parrot cliches, Sean Hannity-like. That’s what you do. That’s all you know. On the sidelines, holding a bucket of water, that’s your role on team America.
Don’t get all pee-pee’d up, Scare Pee Bob, on this glorious Saturday morning.
If it makes you feel better, Bob, I have to go over the stock market with my buddy today. The man is attempting to better himself by learning the free markets through buying stock in a on-line brokerage account. Such enthusiasm he has so I made him my pet project. And guess what, Bob, I show him how to hold the rod, where to cast, but I alsmost never tell him what he should buy and sell. He’s got a PhD, so you know my pet has to learn everything the fuckin’ hard way. I have to show him what I do and tell him why I do it and allow him to connect the dots. Trust me, a claw hammer to his head might be quicker but then he’d simply forget everything after his concussion faded.
So, this week, on Monday morning to be exact, he’s on and on about technical analysis and charting. I says to him “look at Southwest, LUV.” He’s all 5-day moving average, Bollinger bands, blah-blah, so I says to him “trust me.”
I told him, if I may paraphrase, “if the market held together, notwithstanding any unexpected event or news specific to its business going forward, LUV is going higher, sure as the nose on your face, look at the chart! By how much, I don’t know. Impossible to say.”
Being a PhD in math and loading up loads of hyperbolic indicators on your charting software doesn’t make you money. It’s knowing the basics of how to read a chart, sort’a like knowing the basics of how to read another man’s hand in poker. One can only acquire such through experience. It can’t be taught.
I’ve experienced much capitalism. Trust me, Scare Pee.

Where to begin… Let’s start with the flood insurance riff.
The national flood insurance program has been in effect since the late 60′s thor. It’s intent was to provide an alternative to the disaster assistanc ethe feds commonly had to provide following a flooding catastrophe. And let’s see how that’s effected the competitive rates of the private insurers, shall we?
Oh, wait, it hasn’t! Indeed, no private companies even offer the coverage, because they can’t compete with the rates that the feds charge! And don’t try to flim-flam the argument of, “I know ‘cuz I pay it regularly”; I live at the beach to thor, 800 feet from the surf, and am well acquainted with such insurance.
In fact, it also points to another problem with the government underwriting insurances, my man. You see, because they are on the global warming bandwagon, as an official point of view, and that same kool-aid drinking belief dictates that here must be hurrican disasters here on Long Island in the near future, *shudder-cringe-cower*, they had no problem jacking our rates up 4 years ago; for a disaster that has not yet, and may never, come in the timeframe they used to justify the increase…
So your example is both non-actual and non-sensical…
Next, Rockefeller’s Standard Oil did engage in the cutthroat shipping operations you mentioned, as well as the practice I described; of taking losses provincially to secure the overall market share-then increasing the price to their desired par level…
Maybe Wal-mart does it too? I can’t say for sure, since I neither patronize nor invest in that company…
And non-practicing Catholic or capitalist? Both are wrong I’m afraid. Being self-employed should count for some capitalistic, free market, cred. And I’ve already discussed my adherence to the tenets of my faith on previous threads.
And it’s nice that you’d help someone else to understand investing in the stock market. But I question the whole point of the story. Was it to illustrate your “goodness”, “altruism”, or selflessness? Was it just about talking of yourself? Or was it to illustrate how you have you are sooooo much better than a mathematics PhD..?
I don’t doubt your experience in capitalism, thor. Nor do I disagree about your intuition regarding LUV; their share of airline travel will continue to increase as it has for some time-especially since they aren’t “gougers”, and are satisfied with the margins they make such that increasing traffic will equate to increased profits…
thor, it doesn’t have to be zero-sum between us, or between you and others. Try to look at conversation as a two-way experience where each party gets as much, or more sometimes, than they put in; it should be synergistic…
I’m man enough to admit that you’ve made some good points in the past, will probably do so again in the future, and that I’ve learned a few things as a result of our exchanges.
What about you..?

The fact remains that you lied about my wanting to see them cheated of their retirement benefits; and you need to look into how unions pay benefits to their members too. And on the job banks, as astonishing a connivance as they are-to pay someone in perpetuity, regarless of their years of actual service, for the indulgence of closing a factory where they had previously worked, you are correct that the companies agreed to this so they must meet their obligations; agreements that were made under the duress of government enforced arbitration with dishonest labor union…
I’, not sure where the rest of your rant came from, or was going, but at the Navy they have judge people based on merits, like I do, and I assure you that only qualified people got assigned to the units I was with; regardless of race, creed, color, or political ideology…

Tort reform is almost entirely a state court issue.
Tobacco lawsuits, anybody? How about drug company class action suits? These may have been filed in state courts, but they have national implications. Tort reform is seriously needed in the US, not just in the area of Medical malpractice, but in all areas (sueing McDonalds for you spilling a hot cup of coffee in your own lap because it was hot?

That idiot was an elderly lady who suffered severe burns to her inner thighs and vagina. They had to rebuild her labia with plastic surgery. You think that’s funny? Also, she had no financial capability to pay the huge medical costs to repair the damage, irrespective of her phenomenal pain and suffering. Who was she to turn to, except those responsible for the product that melted her skin like hot oil?
The specifics of the case, as I recall, were that McDonald’s upped the temperature of their coffee so it was hotter than their competitors, which they concluded made it more popular with their shared customer base. Any fool with any knowledge of product safety law could have told McDonald’s selling nuclear-temped coffee was asking for trouble. The jury cited one day’s worth of McD’s coffee sales revenue for its basis of punitive damages. Precedent existed for such.
Ever think to read the WSJ before you blabber? I mean, it was an interesting case, but mostly for the reaction it stirred amongst waterbrained headline-only readers. The case is a better example of the benefit to society of product liability law in reality.

Patterico gets onto a bus and sits next to a nun in the front seat. The Patterico looks over and asks the nun if she would have sex with him.
The nun, surprised by the question, politely declines and gets off at the next stop. When the bus starts again, the bus driver says to the Patterico, “If you want, I can tell you how you can get that nun to have sex with you.â€
Patterico of course says that he’d love to know, so the bus driver tells him that every Tuesday evening at midnight the nun goes to the cemetery to pray to the Lord. “If you went dressed in robes and some glowing powder,†says the bus driver, “You could tell her you were God and command her to have sex with you.â€
Patterico decides to try this out. That Tuesday, he goes to the cemetery and waits for the nun. Right on schedule, the nun shows up. While she’s in the middle of praying, Patterico walks out from hiding, in robes and glowing with a mask of god. “I am God, I have heard your prayers and I will answer them but you must have sex with me first,†he says.
The nun agrees but asks for anal sex so she might keep her virginity. Patterico agrees to this and quickly sets about having sex with the nun.
After Patterico finishes, he rips off his mask and shouts out, “Ha ha, I’m Patterico! â€
The nun replies by whipping off her mask and shouting, “Ha ha, I’m the bus driver…who is really thor!â€
And Karl smiles at the irony.

Look at our little Scare Pee, been punked so hard and often he’s grown bitter with rage! HAhaha!
Come on little boy, come to the front of the stage where I can see your face. I’ll show you the buena, buena, good, good! That’s from a song, Scare Pee, by Morphine. I believe the metaphoric lyrics are about drugs, but with intentionalism and all who can really say.
What’s it like to get punked everywhere you go outside the fishbowl of autistic r-wingies? Hahahaha, should’a read a book instead of flying them kites.
You’re so emblematic of the broken and failed metanarrative. The future is not yours. I hope your forward suffering is limited by your ability to marginalize yourself. Flat earth theory will, like Bob, eventually pass. America will be better for it, praise Jesus.
Anyone want to debate Lit theory, Dan, anyone?

Perhaps I chose my words poorly, and should have used “sock-puppeter” instead of “poseur”, for that I apologize. But the fact remains that Patterico doesn’t want you trolling at his place either, and I simply felt like I should give them the heads-up on your calling cards…
Like I said, you need a new schtick. I can find you just about anywhere, under any monicker-of-the-day you choose at the time, simply by googling the combination of Marxism, Foucalt, Celine, Derrida, Chomsky, and Russia. Chances are good that you’ll turn up under one of the links…
How am I representative of whatever “meta-narrative” you insist is broken? And just how has it been broken; by your kool-aid meister Obama?
I don’t get punked anywhere I go thor, I deal in facts, reason, and logic and can hold my head high about anything I’ve done, said, or written…
Can you do the same?
Stop looking at me, and others, as an adversary to be bested, but as someone to converse with and grow from that experience; which is generally what I do…

What a dipweed you are. I don’t post anywhere but here generally, as in I don’t have as much free time on my hands as you, evidently.
Poor defenseless Patterico, yet he works in the DA’s office, save us dear Jesus, save us.
Goldstein’s intentionalism holds not-so-much water anywhere but in his head, well, besides yours and all the rest of the PW waterheads. You sheeple are so easily sheepled.
Who defines authorial intent? Foucault’s answer is whoever has the power to do so, meaning the most powerful, in other words the victors write/re-write history as they see fit. Make sense? It’s undergrad stuff, that’s why, as is Jeff’s signifiers and referents. Poor babies, so gullible, so American, so PW’d. Pick up a book on lit theory, lazy boi, for you have not a clue what facts, reason and logic are, frankly. You wouldn’t know who Chomsky was if he was on top of your wife.
Go find me, Google away.

Was that supposed to be a punking? And why do you need to lie about posting in other places.
Let’s try a new dynamic thor. Let’s try being civil and less dimissive and condescending of other’s opinions and ideas…
What about it?

I don’t think so, fart pump.
If all I have to do is grab a book from my library or open a spiral notebook of my notes from Lit Theory 101 in order to punk that circus bear ‘rassler Goldstein, yet, all the while, I’m the one who sat in front of a Bloomberg for 15-years and did the Capitalist-hero gig on Wall Street.
Explain to me why I need to practice patience with you numb-headed know-it-alls of finance and lingua gossip.
You’re half-cocked dumbasses … foil triangles. Simple. Go ice fishing or rub yourselves against tree stumps or whatever it is you cousin-licking hicks do. I took the time to study because … service of the queen … the rain king … Falstaff’s refrain… dots … foul smelling wretched and poor … shame my family name … shittier than shit … shouts and yells … emancipated maniacs … didn’t want to die dumb like that.

Have you been drinking, or otherwise?
The reason you show patience, are more understanding and less dismissive with other folks are because that is what a gentleman of honor erudition, learning, grace, and noble bearing would do; you do it because it’s the right thing to do…
There are subject about which you know much more than the rest of us, that is a certainty. But, it might surprise you to consider that there are also ones where the folks here might know as much or more of than you.
I admire some of your experiences and education, and am certain you could regale us with a lot of “war stories”. If you were more gracious to folks I’m sure they’d want to hear more of them, instead of simply argue with you. And if you turned over a new leaf, perhaps you’d be un-banned at PW and could talk all the lit theory with Jeff G that you wanted.
But I am perplexed by the string of phrases you put together at the end of that last comment. What do they mean?
Consider being more gracious; take the advice of someone with experience who knows better.
Sleep it off and we’ll talk again.

Hahaha, yeah, I had a little white lightning running through my veins and a pastiche of intercoursing words violating my head.
Now sober, they don’t read so bad. Ahahaha.
What, less name calling? With Bono’s accent, am I buggun’ ya yet! Are the lights of London turning red from green?
While burning your white crosses will you quit raising the American flag?
You don’t speak of the America I know, Mister! The America of my birth rite doesn’t turn its back on the homeless, the poor, the sick and dying, none of its huddled masses.
“The God I believe isn’t short of cash, Mister! I feel a long way from the hills of San Salvador where the sky is ripped open and the rain pours through a gaping wound pelting the women and children who run, who run, who run into the arms of America.”
The promises America made! They in horrible need run for to it! Yet! Did you Lie! To the impoverished women and crying children, did you offer them false hope?
And if there is a God, what will you say to him as you stand before him if he asks whether you extended God’s mercy onto your fellow man? What are you going to say? That you used a stick, strung a piece of rotten meat to it and dangled it above the heads of the old, withered and sick? That according to the Laffer Curve as long as you got yours that all was OK? That offering your fellow man, the broken-others, a chance dance for amusement was better than outright teasing their starvation and condidtion? That Coltrane’s Love Supreme played as your frivolity reigned Supreme?
Or will you be able state to God that while on earth you exalted the name of Christ? That you didn’t simply take, that you gave to those in need in return for the blessing of the health and wealth the son of God bestowed, in his infinite mercy, unto you!
Here in the Lost and Found department, we have a new puppy named Scare Pee.

Burning white crosses? While raising the American Flag? You’re kidding, right..?
Christian charity is about extending oneself to help others, individually giving all you can. It is not about giving other people’s money away to assuage your personal notions of charity. I won’t blow my horn again, especially since we’ve discussed my ministereal outreach to those less fortunate organized through my parish several times before.
My conscience is clear. Is yours?
I give of my time, talent, and treasure to assist both the less fortunate as well as others in my community. I’ve been out shoveling, the nearly 2 feet of snow we recieved here, for thise in my neighborhood who can’t; to help ease their burdens.
What have you done for others today?
I walk the talk I lay down, do you? Think hard about that before you try to throw the hypocrisy card, or the racist card, on me again…
The cliche says that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Take my counsel from last night to heart. And remember that a gentleman of honor erudition, and learning, conducts himself with courtesy, grace and a noble bearing.
Are you a gentleman, or a punk..?

My spouse and i got quite relieved when Edward could finish up his studies through your precious recommendations he gained in your web pages. It is now and again perplexing to simply find yourself offering ideas the rest may have been selling. We figure out we’ve got the writer to give thanks to for that. The entire explanations you made, the straightforward site menu, the relationships you can assist to engender – it’s everything overwhelming, and it’s leading our son and our family recognize that the idea is pleasurable, and that is unbelievably indispensable. Many thanks for everything!
