Cuz a wittle school needs to put aside a bit for a rainy day.

If true, ol’ Mom belongs in jail. Let’s see if the Oregon courts can get her there.

Sec’y Megadeth says he’ll try again, maybe with Amb. Guilfoyle, once her case works its way through the courts.

Duh.

Shooting your whole family to death with malice aforethought gets you a ticket to adult court.

UD can squeeze out maybe a drop of pity that the killer ended up with nutty stupid defense lawyers who appear to believe that if your parents are fervent fundamentalist Christians you get to get away with slaughtering them and the kids.

“He was taught about the illuminati that it was real, that 9/11 was a conspiracy and he believed it,” defense attorney Amy Parker said. “His parents told him the government and social system would collapse and so the kids had go-bags packed to move to Idaho at a moment’s notice to be prepared to rise up against a tyrannical government and protect the family.”

Idaho go-bags! Where’s my gun??

The arrest of their most-touted recent cornerback recruit (I can’t – too icky for 8 AM – esp. the bit about the bloodstained woman they found… read the article yourself.) is a singularly powerful instance of Nietzsche’s core concept of eternal recurrence. Events simply and horribly repeat and repeat and repeat in the human realm, and so for instance we can read a long 2014 NYT Magazine article about FSU’s total moral and legal degradation via football, or we can search the archives of this blog and find decades of the same, and this is how we understand what it looks like when a university throughout its history doesn’t give a shit about bringing dangerous people to its campus and celebrating them. Again and again and again.

Wowsa. Datz a couple million dollars right there, brought to the people’s house by a high-ranking appointee of the governor of Massachusetts!

But there’s so much more beyond using state assets to run a bigtime drug business. Dude is guilty of (yeah ok charged with) so much shit UD can’t keep up, but this article lists a lot of it. Enjoy. Don’t miss the part about Disneyland.

And, you know… go ahead and wonder along with UD about vetting procedures for the state of Massachusetts.

… so no surprise that he conveys that ethos to France, where he just refused to vote against FGM.

Good ol’ Myrtle Beach.

UD will never understand how people carry on their person five guns, magazines, and ammo. Or more! How do you do it? Is weaponry falling off of you as you walk? Do you sound all metallic?

It features a woman who wakes up on that day in her beautiful bedroom and begins ruminating about life and death.

I’ll talk about the poem, and I’ll offer concluding thoughts about my series of talks. Discussion afterwards. Join us!

“[Nicholas] Polson suggested that criticism of his work might stem from jealousy …”

Envy has eaten up critics of the U Chicago business professor who has published 257 articles in nine months.

They’re seething at the guy’s hypersonic output. In as short a time as it takes a woman to drop just one child, Polson has pumped out close to 300 contributions to business scholarship.

“Polson will be immortal, like the deadbeat fathers of 20 children who, almost by definition, are more biologically fit than those of us with just a few,” snipes a spiteful peer. “[I]t’s all AI slop,” says another. A bitter statistician at Columbia comments that this is “not the sort of thing a non-bullshitting academic might write.”

Okay yeah fine the plagiarism… But no way AI! Not AI! … Okay fine also AI…

And that ain’t all. ‘15.3% of ultra-Orthodox men and 11.9% of women secularize by age 30.’ With that many getting the hell out, there may be hope for Israeli society.

… tragedy.

KIMBERLEA:

Tell me then, Don Junior. Where can I go now? Tell me! Shall I go back to Fox News? Or shall I go to some other poor

wretched posting overseas? To exile?  [Shakes her head bitterly.]. Oh, I can just imagine how well they

will receive me!

Because, you see, Donnie, the truth falls like this: because of you, I have become a most hated

woman! Hated by both my own folk in my own country and by the Athenians!

CHORUS: [To each other:]

Friend against friend! An anger most implacable!

KIMBERLEA:

Hateful, miserable man! And words defy my tongue to put together insult worthy enough of your father!

You dare fire me, Trump! You! You, a man most hated by all the

generations of mortals and immortals alike – and by me!

***********************

Let me tell you, Donnie, let me remind you, what I have done for you.

I journeyed to Galen of Pergamum for plastic surgery.

I wore a tight red dress and bellowed forth like the Brazen Bull

My love for your father.

You’ve broken all oaths, old and new, and you know it!

Oh Zeus!

Lots of people note the essential barbarism of the public execution thing; see George Will and others. Christopher Hitchens made much, as he prepared to watch an execution in that state, of Missouri’s slogan: Show Me. Show Me!

I was assailed by a powerful sensation of voyeuristic indecency. There was something camp and wrong and over-rehearsed about it—the result of an ill-considered attempt to impose primness and decorum on something obscene…  I feel permanently degraded and somewhat unmanned by the small part I played, as a complicit spectator, in the dank and dingy little ritual that was enacted in that prison cellar in Missouri. 

Me, I’m reminded of Shamima Begum’s explanation for having left England and joined ISIS: It was watching ISIS videos of prisoners being beheaded that really got her going.
