The celebrity gossip section of the *NY Post* has floated a silly story
about Arnold Swarzenegger, a Republican actor who managed to become
governor of California when the state wasn't paying any attention, may run
for president in 2016. And, no, this is neither from *The Onion* nor from
Andy Borowitz. It could be from a desperate move p.r. firm though.
Action star and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been

A small anecdotal tidbit on how charter schools select out students
Some charter school chains enact a form of educational Darwinism. Case in

student the other day. The teacher learned that the student came from a
local charter school very close by, definitely within the same district.

The slow motion shutdown of America
David Dayen has a great piece on how the last GOP shutdown extravaganza was
just a side show to the ongoing damage being done by the sequester:
You could argue that the recent shutdown inflicted much more damage than
sequestration. You would be wrong. Standard and Poor’s estimated that the
shutdown cost the economy $24 billion over its 16-day stretch.
Sequestration, meanwhile, will be in place for ten years unless Congress
does something, and the spending cuts over that time total $1.2 trillion—50
times the economic impact of the shutdown. And that doesn’t include the

SADISTIC GAY NAZIS
* *
*Daniel Mauricio Zamudio Vera*
*
*In March 2012, in Chile, four sadists tortured Daniel Zamudio Vera, aged
24, to death.
The four sadists carved swastikas into Daniel's body, burned him with
cigarettes and broke his bones with rocks.
Patricio Garay, Alejandro Tapia, Raul Fuentes and Fabian Mora have now been
convicted of the murder of Daniel Zamudio.

Daniel was gay.
It is suspected that the four sadists were gay homophobic Nazis of the sort
that get sexual pleasure from torturing good looking young lads.

Friday night funnies
Noel Gallagher doesn't read fiction. No sir: "I can't suspend my disbelief
in reality... I just end up thinking 'this isn't fucking true'". Fantastic!
You can't knock his commitment to the role, after all these years. One
should also note: "people who write and review books are fucking putting
themselves a little bit above the rest of us who fucking make records and
write pathetic little songs for a living". Because, of course, that is what
the rest of us do for a living.
Oh, I did laugh, but in a good way.

*“Trying To Be Good”*
by Chet Raymo
“A few lines from Mary Oliver's poem "Wild Geese":
"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves."
I've quoted these lines before, if not here, then elsewhere. When I first
read them back in the late 80s, they resonated with what I felt at the
time. I had spent part of my earliest adulthood walking on my knees, both
literally and metaphorically, seeking to tame what I took to be t... more »

Van Kampen, a pro-QM warrior: 1921-2013
Nicolaas 'Nico' Godfried van Kampen, a Dutch physicist and an uncle of
Gerard 't Hooft, died in Nieuwegein two weeks ago, on Sunday, October 6th.
He was born in Leiden in 1921 and studied there under Kramers (yes, this
Hendrik Anthony one who worked with Bohr on the interactions of
electromagnetic waves with matter). He figured out how to deal with
singularities in quantum scattering problems; Kramers would say that this
insight was important in the development of renormalization.
Later, he would move to Utrecht (for the whole career) and do research on
statistical physics in genera... more »

Are Israel And Turkey On Thin Ice, With Proxy War Ahead? Or Is It All Smoke And Mirrors?

Israel and Washington are throwing mud at Turkey's top spy official, saying

Of course I've known that the Dodgers have not reached the World Series

“Things have just been so hectic around here lately, I couldn’t get to it.”

Saudia Arabia campaigned for an won a seat for the first time on the UN Security Council ( a two year term ) and then rejects the seat ! What are the Saudis up to ? Well , for one thing , they used the opportunity presented to shove the seat up the collective rears of the UN for not supporting Saudia Arabia's geopolitical goals ! Second , this is a slap at the US of course ( you know we pushed for the Saudis to get the seat ) and commentary about double standards in the Security Council falls on the shoulders of not just Russia and China but also the US ( Iran and Syria in focus here . ) Third , the Saudis also slapped Israel on their nuclear and other WMD arsenal - inconsistent for Israel to have such weapons if the stated goal of the UN Security Council is a WMD free Middle East ! Fouth and finally , does this just free the Saudis to continue with their mischief in Syria and with Iran ?

Chase Bank's recent covert imposition on its small-business depositors is a warning that "the end is near." Not the end for the banks and banksters, rather for their depositors who they will rob. The 1999 repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act that had separated depository and investment banking now allows banks to commingle their deposits and investments. And because of the Dodd-Frank Act, banks can no longer be bailed out by the government. So the next crash will result in Cyprus-style “bail-ins,” meaning (legal!) confiscation of depositor funds in order to recapitalize the failed (criminal) banks. The FDIC doesn't have enough money to reimburse more than 0.25% of the victims, which may include you if you don’t take precautionary action soon. To learn more about this impending outrage, go here:

Funny Business In Mississippi-- At Least For Democrats
As of June 30, Mississippi senior Senator Thad Cochran had only raised
$773,953, not much for a U.S. Senator. It gave rise to some talk that he
might be thinking of retirement. He was born in 1937 and by the end of his
next term he'd be 82. Elected in 1978, he's the second most senior
Republican in the Senate. And, for a mainstream conservative like Cochran,
a Cruz-ified Republican caucus can't be much fun. But when you realize that
the last time he was up for reelection he only spent $518,625, you have to
reconsider his lackadaisical fundraising as proof he might be retiring.

Feudalism 2!
It was famously said that all roads out of capitalism lead directly back to
serfdom!. Any kind of social relation that is not based on complete
atomistic individualism is bound to end in feudal-style obligation. An
interesting (if horrific) aspect of modern capitalism is no capitalist in
their right wants anything to do with it, at least anything to do with the
capitalism that's taught in textbooks and advocated in op-eds.
There is a well-known long term crisis in profitability. If you want to
