If a longform piece on Dr. V had avoided the scandalous stuff while a shortform piece on him had included the scandalous stuff, PC would have attacked shortform for not offering sufficient context to explain V's behavior.

If PC stuff was written with pen and anti-PC stuff was written with pencil, pencil would be blamed.

I just shake my head and what has become of a great nation and, for that matter, the West.

I'm beginning to feel like Dennis Miller has it right in this regard. After the reelection of the Kenyan Kid, he rhetorically shrugged. We're headed to hell in a handbasket and dwelling on such things only takes away from the great joys of life. Live out your days avoiding people who talk of transphobia and World War G/T. It's not worth it. We've lost.

What with all the talk of trannies, journalism and con-artistry, was wondering when you'd get to this.

Off topic but apropos of your commentary on the "greed is good" era:

American auto industry has always been kind of a mad scientist's laboratory of democracy.

Only problem with that Daily Mail headline is they call it an "article" when it's a letter to the editor. Read that section over any given week, you'll detect a relish for letters that make the writer appear foolish (assuming the copy editors are faithfully parsing them).

Shark Jumping, Fridge Nuking, Peak, Bubble reaching moments of excess. When people go nuts over stuff like that, you can bet the moral panic is ending.

Which ironically is the point the South Park guys make over and over again in their show. My guess is they got a good dose of moral panics in the late 80's and early 90's and got sick of it, and get only sicker getting it in Entertainment.

About half to three quarters of South Park shows are the same formula: Parents get involved in some idiot moral crusade, things go to icky and funny excess, Kyle and Stan make a stand to stop it while Cartman sides with idiocy for "funny" reasons (greed, duplicitous nature, etc.) and a crisis brings the town/parents to their senses.

This is about like the episode where the family moves to San Francisco and everyone bends over to smell their own farts.

And the ending is likely when the moral panic ends up hitting someone powerful.

The Salem Witch trials just STOPPED dead bang when the girls accused the wife of the Governor of witchcraft. Its all fun and games until someone POWERFUL gets hurt.

And that makes Scandinavian/Puritan/New England culture far different than say, Italian or French culture. It is taken for granted in Italy that any moral crusade is something aimed at separating the gullible from their money. No one trusts anyone and least of all the authorities (who here lead moral crusades). In Italy any kind of moralism on TV and in print would have people wondering who got paid off and what the scam was.

The moral crusades are an inherent side effect of high trust. Don't worry -- that will go away too soon.

I'm not surprised a homo would name the car "Dale".

We're still here and the left is running out of victim groups to liberate.

Trannies are like 0.2% of the population or something, they're scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

What comes after they run out of groups to liberate?

But that's just it. They never run out of people to liberate. In order to win elections, they trot out some soft focus story about some marginalized group mistreated or forgotten - see 30 year old Georgetown Law students who need subsidized birth control.

30 years ago, heck 30 months ago, did anyone think transphobia was a thing? They never stop. Ever. They're like sharks. And they always win.

Low information voters succumb to arguments like - Republicans want to put transgender black Inuit little people back on the street - because we live in an age of Buzzfeed and Upworthy driven information gathering.

Without going into detail, the remote rural part of Scotland in which I live contained precisely one M2F transgendered person.

That person is now in prison for a violent crime.

Perhaps some help other than a sex change would be better for all concerned.

Mind you I'll bet he/she is popular in prison.

American Made - Eco-Friendly

American Made = American Jobs. It should come as no surprise that Elio Motors will create a number of much-needed jobs for American workers. We’re estimating 1,500 jobs at our Shreveport, LA plant beginning in 2014.

Liz Car[Michael] for the auto company--wonder if there was a Liz Timeshare[Michael] for the real estate scams. And naming the car The Dale, after the poor engineer sap. Reality really is more shameless than the corniest shlock screenwriter.

That is because they're organized, and we're not. And the glue that holds them together is an intelligent, wealthy, organized ethnic community.
