Hullabaloo Monday, March 13, 2017 Dear Professor Stanger by tristero Dear Professor Stanger, I have, in fact, read The Bell Curve, the book Charles Murray co-authored. Welcome to the Waterside Theatre The Waterside Theatre hosts a range of quality arts and entertainment and produces an extensive Education Programme.
Hullabaloo. Saturday, March 1. Saturday Night at the Movies. Beauty as the beast: The Lure **.
Near as I was able to discern the plot (thin enough to dissolve into sea foam at the slightest suggestion of an impending gale), two sultry sister- sirens are slithering about in the Baltic surf one evening, when they espy a Polish new wave band hanging around on the beach. As we all know, no man, be he a sailor or synth- popper, can resist the clarion call of a sexy Baltic Sea siren. The band members have no option but to stash the sisters backstage at the strip club they gig at, until they can figure out their next move.
Before long, the sleazy house manager discovers them and sees dollar signs. He unceremoniously demands that Silver (Marta Mazurek) and Golden (Michalina Olszanska) show him their wares; however he quickly discerns certain elements of the mermaid. But before the manager can boot the freeloaders out, the band. Feeling a maternal tug, she offers to take the young women under her wing, convincing the manager to begrudgingly hire them on as part of the band.
Naturally, the lovely sirens beguile the audiences and become an instant hit (A Starfish is Born?). But alas, every Silver has a cloudy lining. Or in this case, sister Silver has a propensity for being a real man- eater. There are a couple of jaunty numbers, and the splashes of bold color are suitably garish in a 8. With its deadpan performances, 1.
I found the film reminiscent of Slava Tsukerman. Feel free to jump in at your own risk.

This story makes your heart hurt - -- in both a bad and a good way. The day should have been one of glory and celebration for five fourth- graders. The Pleasant Run Elementary students had just won a robotics challenge at Plainfield High School, and the students . Two are African American and three are Latino. As the group, called the Pleasant Run Panther. Bots, and their parents left the challenge last month in Plainfield, Ind., competing students from other Indianapolis- area schools and their parents were waiting for them in the parking lot.
While the children were competing, one or two parents disparaged the Pleasant Run kids with racist comments . They are Mexican, and they are ruining our country. Plainfield High School was the host, but the participating elementary school teams came from more than 2. Indianapolis. Hopper said her team and their parents were unable to identify the competing students and the parent who made the comments.
Plainfield officials condemned the hurtful comments. A district spokeswoman did not know about the incident until she was contacted but said a letter would be sent to every participating school to reiterate district policies. That is simply not something that anybody associated with Plainfield schools would put up with. Had our organizing team been made aware of the alleged behaviors by unknown adults on Feb. To learn now that adults may have acted in a way that distracted from the success of the day is disheartening. In the Plainfield schools, such behavior is unacceptable, regardless of whether it comes from adults or students.
Three weeks after the incident, the Panther. Bots won the Create Award . They will compete there with students from all over the world. And they say they. We know they were jealous. Fourth- grade teachers were asked to identify 1.
As a tryout, the students were asked to build something with Legos. Elijah Goodwin, 1. Angel Herrera- Sanchez, 9; Jose Verastegui, 1. Manuel Mendez, 9; and Devilyn Bolyard, 9, were selected. They are dynamic individuals. Their Go. Fund. Me page already has raised $4,0.
Even in popular musicals. That was a long time ago. Trump was still a kid. But this racist crapola is still with us.
And just like back then everyone's got a reason why it isn't really racist. It is. It happened when I was a kid. And there were plenty of us kids who challenged it then too. I remember having to face down a group of horrible little girls in the second grade because my best friend was Mexican. Let's not lie to ourselves about it.
PMTrump day paradesby digby. If you're wondering why Trump is so adamant about spending massive sums to build up the military for no reason, you'll recall that he has some big ideas about showing off American Greatness. Donald Trump plans on displaying the United States military's strength when he becomes president by having troops march in parades. That military may be flying over New York City and Washington, D.
C., for parades. Patrick and his legacy. He too, of course, was an immigrant. And though he is, of course, the patron saint of Ireland, for many people around the globe he. Kennedy, long before he uttered him. We asked not what America could do for us, but what we could do for America . This is who he is. Trump. Here's an example from Augusta Georgia: The budget evoked headlines like this, from Charleston West Virginia: Maybe it doesn't matter an his followers love him so much that they either think the news is all fake or that he's somehow exempting them from all these horrible changes.
Of course, the gold- plated airplane should have the tip- off but .. AMLearning to play offense.
Tom Sullivan. A column in Jacobin takes Democratic . Politicking without politics, as it were. Paul Heideman argues that Obama's . Nancy Pelosi quipped, . He writes. It is this continued fidelity to American capitalism, this unwavering commitment to keeping things more or less as they are, that stands behind the Democrats. Any actual attempt to advance the principles that loom large in the American liberal imagination would entail some sort of confrontation with capital, and the Democratic Party, bought and paid for by capital, is unwilling to contemplate such a step. Pelosi is, in a sense, right: while the Republicans have a clear ideology, a clear vision for society (gruesome as it may be), the Democrats can offer little more than meritocratic nostrums and technocratic tweaks.
The social order should basically remain the same, their position seems to be, with an improvement here or there from smart, competent people. What was the Democrats? Where was the Democratic party? You gotta stand for something if you!
The job of an opposition is not just to RESIST, not just to oppose, but to propose. That seems to have been lost on the party on much beyond social justice matters. Democratic elites, Heideman asserts, believe . Many are still engaged today. Here in the mountains of western North Carolina, Sanders found support not just among the young, but among conservative- leaning Democrats and independents and, astonishingly, among older, mainstream Democrats who grew up on the New Deal. He represented a Democratic Party they hadn't heard from in years. A priest friend once quipped that faith is a concept many staunch believers simply misunderstand.
For them, having faith means believing . Their idea of playing offense is playing defense harder. But successful goal line stands by themselves don't win football games. Especially given their current fortunes, Democrats should play their hearts out. While canvassing the neighborhood last week, I saw my first in- person version of the sign at the top of this page. I had only heard reports online about the yard- sign effort to welcome immigrants. Heideman notes that on matters such as this, the liberal grassroots are once again out ahead of the Democratic leadership.
When thousands of people gathered at JFK Airport to protest the Muslim ban, they didn. They gathered because they felt Trump had infringed on core values of egalitarianism and fairness. They were moved by a basic sense of injustice. They were moved, in other words, by politics.
While the liberal evasion of politics gives the impression that the Democrats have no ideas they are confident enough to defend, mobilizations like the refugee solidarity protests do the exact opposite. When thousands of people assemble with signs declaring .
They provide a political pole capable of further mobilization. Even the liberal grassroots Heideman praises is more comfortable promoting social justice than confronting economic injustice. But the hollowing out of America cannot be repaired without a groundswell of public support.
For now, few Democrats in leadership are leading on building that. Economic injustice will be addressed with torches and pitchforks if all Democrats are prepared to confront it with is technocratic competence.
Undercover Blue 3/1. AMFriday, March 1. Friday Night Soother: I don't know about you, but I need some kittensby digby.
That's how I feel this week. So, here is a lynx taking a walk in the snow: Jasper, the lynx kitten. Here are some 5 week old Caracel kittens at the Oregon zoo: Look at them!!! Their ears are bigger than they are.
Ah. A couple of stiff drinkie winkies and some beautiful wild cats and I'm feeling much better. Here's an excerpt: Historians often give Jackson something of a pass for being a slaveholder; he was a man of his times, they say, simply following in the footsteps of most of the presidents who came before him. But unlike his predecessors, Jackson never deigned to express guilt about it, according to Jackson biographer H. W. The seventh president, Brands writes in The Tennessean, .

Bannon, the former chief executive of Breitbart News and a guy whose view of history seems to be telling him that it. This is right wing populism. And it's very potent because it pits middle and lower class whites against people they already look down upon. Left wing populism is a heavier lift because white people in America see themselves as members of the same tribe as rich white people. Their resentment and fear of the wealthy doesn't run nearly as deep.
