Tonight on The Independents: Israel/Hamas, Obamacare, Ukraine, Ebola, Skateboard Ban, Immigration Hysteria, Ex-Im Corporatism, More Enemies of Freedom, and Scatterbrained Aftershow!

So, last night's episode of The Independents began a familiar-sounding countdown of the show's slowly unveiling 25 Enemies of Freedom. Numbers 23-25 were wholly appropriate:

On tonight's live episode of the show (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, with re-airs three hours later), we'll talk about #s 20-22. In addition, there will be plenty of woe.

Party Panelists Michael Malice (impish ex-Russkie ghostwriting funbag) and Thaddeus McCotter (laconic former GOP congressman with a taste for electric guitar) are slated to chatter about the tentative end to the Israel-Gaza war, the trend of doctors opting out of Obamacare, the latest news (and hysteria) about the Ebola outbreak, and California's ban on electronic skateboards. Speaking of which!

Russia is massing troops on the border of Ukraine, so Michael Weiss of The Interpreter will talk about that bit of ominousness. The Free Market Institute's Benjamin Powell (watch his Reason TV interview here) will have the temerity to suggest that crisis of illegal alien children on the border is actually not that big of a deal; Kmele Foster will channel some Veronique de Rugy on the Ex-Im Bank, and the online-only aftershow (foxbusiness.com/independents just after 10) will do what the online-aftershow does. Speaking of which, here's last night's mess:

[Fist of Etiquette]

So at this point you're all guesting on Michael Weiss' The Independents? (That's right; he probably knows how to do tags.)

[GILMORE]

I pointed out a week or two ago that they'd apparently outsourced 25% of the show to, "Michael Weiss talks rapidly about foreign affairs"

...which I noted as a mild improvement on the 'occasionally have on Ron Paul to repeat some cranky objections to America potentially getting involved in any way'

i also think Weiss' style is such that he's hard to interrupt. He tends to have to be told "go" and then "stop". with not a whole lot of back-n-forth in between.

He's sort of like The Economist's section at the beginning ("Leaders"?) which has a brief blurb about 'everything going on in the world'.

[Bo Cara Esq.]

..which I noted as a mild improvement on the 'occasionally have on Ron Paul to repeat some cranky objections to America potentially getting involved in any way'

Remember, Gilmore is NOT a neocon

[GILMORE]

Right

because libertarian foreign policy isn't even coherent enough to 'oppose'.

you're catching on Bo.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Just block. It's easier.

[GILMORE]

Bo is so fucking dumb that he repeatedly insists that "Not Libertarian FP cliche-repeating" = "neocon"

its about as logical saying every "not jew" is a Nazi. Yet he repeats it endlessly and thinks he's clever.

[GILMORE]

"Speaking of which, here's last night's mess:"

I admire Matt's honesty and candor.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

You know, I have a huge problem with The Inderpendents. They don't think of the children enough.

Who will think of (and watch) the children?

[New West Republic]

The Inderpendents don't watch children. People with moustaches watch children.

[Max Power]

Isn't your business watching children? I nominate you.

[AlmightyJB]

It's more an infatuation than a business.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

It may indeed be an infatuation. After all, it's an all-women milieu.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Now that you mention it.

[Los Doyers]

This thread is still a thing?

[Sudden]

No. Not for Beltway insiders. Why don't you go edit more wikipedia articles from the computers of whichever ugly congressional staffer broad you're inseminating into! (narrows gaze)

[AlmightyJB]

"whichever ugly congressional staffer broad you're inseminating into!"

You've been reading my youporn history again.

[Los Doyers]

Would you change your tone if I said I have access to the best Capitol coke that money could buy?

[AlmightyJB]

LOOOOOOOOOOS! How's it goin' buddy! 🙂

[New West Republic]

I've had time to process my feelings about this, and I can't seem to get weepy about it.

[Jesus H. Christ]

That was discussed in the PM links thread. Did you notice it was a guy who wrote that?

[New West Republic]

Only after I read the whole thing. Before that, I coulda sworn it was a broad.

[Dweebston]

I did not. That rather changes the tenor of the thing.

In other words a man was assaulted by another man, or claims he was, though he's reluctant to name and shame the individual involved. He reported his abuser, thereby removing him from the event, and seems satisfied with the staff's response.

And then the wheels come off the narrative and he's petting a service animal because his alleged assailant didn't appear as contrite as the author had hoped. The further in you read, the more unstable this fellow appears. I'm midway through and starting to doubt the fellow received anything more than a jocular shoulder jab.

[GILMORE]

You mean,

"a jocular jab of a needle into his neck, which caused complete loss of muscle control, whereupon he collapsed in a jelly-like heap while emptying his bowels on himself, and a group of bikers surrounded him and urinated on him in unison while singing 'Lili Marlene'"

right?

It must have been that.

[New West Republic]

Burroughs?

[GILMORE]

I was channeling something along those line.

[New West Republic]

Shit, I thought that might have been an actual quote from Naked Lunch.

[Tips hat]

[AlmightyJB]

Christ, can everyone see my youporn history?

[AlmightyJB]

Even if it was a little more than that you can't just tell him to back off, or bitch slap him. Why's everything have to be a fucking Odessey. Oh, someone touched me or made inappropropriate comments to me. I better go on Oprah and cry.

[GILMORE]

This is a case study in why what George Will said about the "social value of victimization" is actually 100% true

What he said seems to have been spun a lot of different ways, but that one point that he made seems indisputable = these days people seem to use the internet as a 'grief-magnifier' to enlarge just about any personal event into a *Journey to the End of the Night*-level epic tale of survival and endurance of injustice.

People wouldn't do this shit if they couldn't leverage the public-grieving into some kind of social-currency. Which is all the entire SJW bullshit is about. full stop. Its far more about group-identification and social-reward than it is anything to do with 'real life' cause-effect.

[AlmightyJB]

You have feelings? How did you get here?

[GILMORE]

I glanced that thing over.

I can only assume someone put his head in a scissor-lock and attempted to fist his bung.

Right? It must have been that.

[Trouser-Pod]

I can only assume someone put his head in a scissor-lock and attempted to fist his bung.

Jazz might be the stupidest thing anyone ever came up with. The band starts a song, but then everything falls apart and the musicians just play whatever they want for as long they can stand it. People take turns noodling around, and once they run out of ideas and have to stop, the audience claps. I'm getting angry just thinking about it.

[Jesus H. Christ]

Coleman Hawkins is defintely an acquired taste, one which I never managed to develop.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Free jazz and all that, same here. Can't get into it.

But there are other forms of jazz I love. Big band, vocals (Fitzgerald, Holiday etc.), cool jazz.

[AlmightyJB]

I like it personally. It's cool not always knowing where the music is going.

[Max Power]

Some of the free stuff that was really controversial in the 60's sounds pretty tame now. People used to beat up Ornette Coleman and break his saxophone. But this isn't really that crazy.

[New West Republic]

You might have missed this part:

Django Gold is a senior writer for The Onion.

[Bo Cara Esq.]

Guffaw!

[Sidd Finch v2.01]

That was mean. I apologize.

[Max Power]

Yeah, this is supposed to be a parody or something, although it's not very funny.

[Sidd Finch v2.01]

We always dressed real sharp: pin-stripe suits, porkpie hats, silk ties. As if to conceal the fact that we were spending all our time playing jazz in some basement.

That's fucking hilarious.

[Max Power]

Alright, that's not bad. And this:
People take turns noodling around, and once they run out of ideas and have to stop, the audience claps.

Every time I visit H 'n' R lately, my security software tells me it's blocked some virus or other bit of malware. Anyone else having this experience?

Did the same thing last weekend. Apparently, a character who has been on the show from the beginning dies at the end of season 5.

// NO SPOILERS PLEASE // I'LL WAIT!!

But I'm guessing it will be Woodhouse.

or Kreiger makes the dead character into a cyborg in Season 6?

[New West Republic]

Season 4 was weak. I hope it gets cancelled while I still think of it fondly.

[Longtorso, Johnny]

Pretty good.

[ant1sthenes]

I liked the first season (which is the only one I've seen). Considering that the plot is essentially a limousine liberal fantasy about fighting Republican supervillains, it's pretty amazing that it's good enough to look past all that and just enjoy it.

Israel does employ Palestinians on occasion.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Exactly. Palestinian suffering is tiny compared to what the Jews faced throughout history.

collectivist much?

[Fist of Etiquette]

I really don't get Foster's blind spot for Hamas and the fact they act on the Palestinians' behalf. The Palestinians do need to act against Hamas, for their own good.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

That's easily fixed. Just force them to take Obamacare.

Hamas stops fighting, war ends. Israel stops fighting, Israel ends.

[PapayaSF]

Oh, yes, it would.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

[PapayaSF]

Seriously? To answer a question with more questions: How did the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan affect us? How did the Nazi conquest of France affect us? How did the Japanese war in China affect us? You don't have to be a warmonger to note that totalitarians on the march tend to affect the US, whether we'd like it or not.

The Independents Attire Review, 5 August 2014

Real Men Drink Heavily-Edition

- Kennedy: 'The Pink Doily' returns, with matching lipstick! It has a slightly different effect than usual due to the seasonal addition of 'light-tan' to Kennedy's otherwise-alabaster skin. Its not in our Top 5 Kennedy arrangements, but its a solid contender and much better than the occasional '50s schoolmarm' garb Kennedy goes for.

- Matt: Tonight's combo is pretty much what I beg for nightly: White shirt, bold-colored tie, well-fit jacket. The collar-issues of yesterday are entirely gone; this spread-collar i think is Matt's best look (better than the occasional point-collars we see), and could only be slightly improved by a fatter tie knot like a half-windsor.

- Kmele: The khaki blazer is regularly flagged as my favorite Kmele-platform, especially when it delivers the color-scheme that I call "The Flan". The black tie is second-best to the chocolate-brown, but the lightly patterned shirt helps it work even better.

Tonight is a group-win: the entire team brings their A-Game. Huzzah - Drinks are on Matt!

Wasn't Castro before her? I admit I wasn't paying close attention. What are the criteria for ranking these enemies of freedom? Is #1 the worst or are they just all equally bad? I NEED MORE INFORMATION.

I don't think she's executed quite as many political dissidents..

And an influx of poor people is going to make us "freer"? Au contraire.

[Trials and Trippelations]

Maybe the US could fix its legal immigration apparatus, and make things easier for the legal immigrants that are here before it gives out a bunch of benefits to illegals

[PapayaSF]

You're not supposed to notice that the Chamber of Commerce likes cheap labor, and that the Democrats are electing a new people.

Actually, that influx of poor people will make us freer just like it did in America before 1924 and it still does in Canada.

As if these kids aren't going on WIC as soon as they can.

1) Citation needed.

2) So what? That money is being spent anyway.

[PapayaSF]

In 2009 (based on data collected in 2010), 57 percent of households headed by an immigrant (legal and illegal) with children (under 18) used at least one welfare program, compared to 39 percent for native households with children.

As as I've referenced previously, in LA alone they are spending $650 million a year on welfare for children of illegals.

Dunno, but he won't play gov't courses.

What did Staten Island ever do to you?

[GILMORE]

It is something like a tumor on the nose of NYC

In a better universe, it would have sunk into the harbor like Atlantis.

[Raven Nation]

And then where would you anchor your bridges?

[GILMORE]

Oh! snap.

I would argue that the links between brooklyn and NJ are entirely unnecessary. With the exception of IKEA

[Raven Nation]

Maybe, although the Verrazano is one hell of an engineering feat.

I used to live in bay ridge as a kid. I have mixed feelings.

it IS fucking big. I was never really conscious of how big when i was young, as it was all i had seen.

My most distinct association with it is, "Its where the guy from Saturday Night Fever Died"

[Bobarian]

And I always looked at NYC as the spot of melanoma on America's forehead.

[GILMORE]

You must really hate america

[Raven Nation]

Really. It's one of the great cities of the world. Not all of it, obviously, but overall.

Thad has now twice risked getting punched

He has a way of rankling people. There he goes again! Threatening to kick Mike's ass?

Kennedy is everyone's common enemy.

And she's cut off.

[RishJoMo]

Sounds like a true plan to me. Wow.
