Logan O’Laughlin, a gender studies graduate student at the University of Washington, conducted a lecture titled “Queer Toxic Ecologies: Analyses and Implications of the Pelicans of the BP Oil Spill” at the University of British Columbia.

The workshop description explains that oil-stained pelicans represented the massive impact of the BP spill.

“But what do these pelican images tell us about gender, race, and sexuality in ecological contexts?” O’Laughlin asked in the description. “Utilizing feminist discourse analysis of pelicans in post-spill popular media and historical analysis of pelicans as the state mascot of Louisiana, this presentation articulates how this bird is symbolically and materially implicated in a history of racialized, sexual violence.”

Something tells me this guy is ‘gender fluid’.

Paul Mirengoff of PowerLine blog finds that his bullshit alarm has gone off.

don’t know whether President Trump called any countries “s***holes” yesterday. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if he disparaged certain countries, as is his wont, and he may well have done so profanely.

If he did, and if doing so hurt America, then Sen. Durbin and others in the room should have kept Trump’s statement to themselves. No patriotic American would hurt this country’s international standing just to embarrass the president or in the hope of gaining a little leverage in negotiations (which, I’m pretty sure, Durbin has failed to do).

But patriotism has never been Dick Durbin’s long suit. During the Bush administration, he compared American soldiers to Nazis, Soviets, and Pol Pot. (See video below).

NYT’s Kristof: Trump Is Scientifically Proven ‘Threat to Democracy’  Junk science makes it into the New York Times.

The chief advantage of the Wolff book for the DemLegHump Media is that it allows them to insult Trump under the guise of ‘just reporting on what the book says’. That will keep it popular until they realize that, no, it won’t ‘drive Trump from office’ so they jump to the next lilypad in the swamp.

It will be a best-seller for a while because there are a lot of people out there who hate Trump and this is $20 worth of confirmation bias, cheap at the price. ‘See! It’s right there in a book! Told you so!’ Ann Coulter has been riding the reciprocal of that wave for years. (Somebody get that girl some bacon. She looks anorexic.)

But in the long run it won’t matter. There were a spate of books that came out during Bill Clinton’s tenure about all of the chicks he boffed and claiming that the was running drugs through Mena while he was governor, and nobody remembers that stuff except for experienced haters like myself. Certainly Millenials won’t; when something scrolls off of their Twitter feed it falls right in the Memory Hole.

This whole effort, on Wolff’s part and the DemLegHump Media’s part, is still an attempt to play football while Trump is playing Call of Duty. Career politicians, even those who came late to the game like the Blessed Ronald Reagan, work within a structure where certain people’s opinions count and other people’s opinion’s don’t, and on that playing field the Democrats have been running downhill since Roosevelt.

Trump doesn’t know and doesn’t care what the Career Politician Thing To Do is. Those are conditioned reflexes that he never developed. He would make a great Bond Villain — you can never believe what you hear and only half of what you see, and whenever he offers to hold the football so you can kick it (as he did during the DACA meeting) it’s usually a good idea to give it a second thought. Watch the movie Where Eagles Dare if you want to know how things are going to develop these next three years. (Hint: Trump is played by Richard Burton. I’m hoping that Republicans can be as quick on the uptake as Clint Eastwood but I’m not optimistic.)

I have to agree with Scott Adams that the next President will be the biggest let-down imaginable; Trump is going to be an impossible act to follow.

And that’s the worst kind of racism there is!

An Asian American Studies professor at the University of Illinois says that interactions between Asian American students and international Asian students carries the risk of reinforcing so-called “colorblind racism.” Soo Ah Kwon says that students reinforce that form of racism in their attempts to reach out to their international counterparts.

I am not making this up.

“We problematize this schema not only because it places undue responsibility upon Asian American students but [because] it also renders the experiences of racial marginalization and discrimination invisible for international and domestic racial minority students,” writes Kwon.

God forbid that a schema go unproblematized. Women and minorities hardest hit, etc. etc.

Kwon says “colorblind racism” happens when people do not take race into account when confronting issues, which she argues is problematic because it ignores “structures of power that privileges whiteness and white supremacy.”

All racism, all the time. Got it. Martin Luther King got suckered by that one, obviously.

All of which is irrelevant, because they’re asking for an increase in ordinary income tax rates, and none of them make their money as wages or other ordinary income.

The reason Warren Buffet pays a lower tax rate than his secretary is because his money comes from capital gains from the sale of stock.

If you tax a guy who’s making a million a year at 90%, he still nets $100,000; if you do the same for somebody making $100,000, he winds up with $10,000. Rich people don’t care how much the income tax rate is because they never notice it — it’s all numbers on the page to them. What it DOES do is hit the almost-millionaires; you know, the guys who, if they have some money in their pocket, might be competing with a Patriotic Millionaire for a seat at a tony restaurant or a lift ticket at Aspen or a slot at a Monaco marina.

Of course, if they REALLY WANTED TO PAY MORE TAX, they could just send a check to the IRS. I’m sure the Treasury would be happy to get it. But they never do that, do they? So it’s not just that they’re not taxed enough, it’s that EVERYBODY isn’t taxed enough. (See explanation above.)

BuzzFeed is taking heat on social media after publishing a story titled “37 things white people ruined need to stop ruining in 2018″ on Wednesday afternoon.

Included on the list is the argument that white people ruined the United States by voting for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton by a 58-37 percent margin.

Other items on Buzzfeed’s list include macaroni and cheese, protests and the national anthem.

On the other hand, if you want to review things that black people ruined this year, check out the murder statistics for any major metropolitan area. I think white people come out pretty good in comparison.

I’ll make a first brush attempt a working definition:

Editorial Narrative:  A mandated set of guidelines for the overriding storyline for any news item concerning a specified topic, including required statements, conclusions and intentional slanting towards a particular preferred viewpoint. A statement from the Editors of “How this topic is to be presented.”

…

Celia Dugger thus establishes an Editorial Narrative for the series, and for all health-related journalism at the NY Times, along the lines of;

“The processed food, soda and fast food industries’ increasing focus on markets in the developing world is causing the rise in obesity rates and weight-related illnesses.” 

This is not a rare opinion — it is one of the mainstay talking points of anti-corporatists of all stripes.  It just doesn’t happen to be supported by any Science — a point which even Dugger at the NY Times admits.    It is just an opinion and it is based on simplistic time-coincident correlation.

…

When a story — a bit of news, a new journal paper — doesn’t fit the narrative required or desired by the Editors — then there is a problem.  If the news is truly Big News and Important — then the journalist has to do his/her best to report it and somehow slip in enough of his/her editor’s narrative to get it accepted and published.  We see this a lot in climate stories where the article goes along well enough, reporting some new findings, and then, out of nowhere, comes a line like “Of course, this new study does nothing to cast any doubt about the overwhelming evidence for human-induced climate change which is currently threatening the very existence of our planet.”

During TNT’s NBA coverage Thursday night, Barkley scoffed at how he’ll use the tax cut he’ll get under the new Republican tax reform law.

Speaking of trickle-down economics, Barkley said he was “gonna trickle my fat ass down to the jewelry store to get me a new Rolex.” He ended his comments saying “Sorry, poor people.”

So he really doesn’t care about poor people at all. That’s just an excuse. Glad we cleared that up.

Hey, rich guy — you see a poor person, you give him some money, you’re so concerned about poor people.

That’s what you want to do with MY money — why not do that with YOUR money?

Put your money where your mouth is … and you better be really rich, because that’s a whole lotta mouth you got there.

But Trump knows that there’s no there there, so all this investigation is doing is underlining it.

According to New York Magazine, Taylor Swift isn’t allowed to be happy having a successful year in 2017—or thank fans for wishing her a happy birthday.

“I love you guys so much,” the pop singer shared on Instagram. “I couldn’t have asked for a better year, all thanks to you. Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Can’t wait to see what 28 will be like. See you on tour.”

But because Swift is “a straight, white, multi-millionaire pop star,” New York Magazine had a problem with her post.

Something about Leftists, they were all born with a grimace on their faces and two pointing fingers, and they never get any better. I cannot imagine the kinds of ulcers they get from being hateful and outraged twenty-four hours of ever day.

It appears that this refers to the abolition of the Individual Mandate, the provision of Obamacare that depends on forcing young healthy people to buy insurance that they don’t want and don’t need in order to use that money to subsidize health care prices for people who engage in risky behavior … like the LGBTUVWXYZ community.

That’s not what they say, of course. Telling the truth is not part of the Narrative.
