Dove: It Takes A Man To Redefine Motherhood
[guest post by Dana]
Mother’s Day is just around the corner and Dove’s new campaign ad, #RealMoms, wants you to know that motherhood is being redefined:
We are both his biological parents. You get people that are like, ‘What do you mean? You’re the mom?’ We’re like, ‘Yep. We’re both gonna be moms.’
There’s no one right way to do it all.
Curious that there isn’t any outcry over biological males usurping the unique role of women as mothers. Maybe men can do it better, eh? Also curious is the acceptance of the mansplaining of motherhood by the new “real mom” in the ad while the actual biological mom is reduced to submissive, silent onlooker.
Amusingly, the March for Science is taking place today in hundreds of major cities across the world. Because science:

NJRob (3ca7f1) — 4/22/2017 @ 7:15 pmI use Dove soap. In the light green box. For sensitive skin. (Did you know that “sensitive skin” in French is “peau sensible”?) In the shower, and at the vanity for washing my hands and face. I also use it for shaving, making the lather with my hands, when I just want a quick, socially acceptable shave.
Moreover, I often order fried mushrooms from the pizza place. Deep fried. In batter. And when I cook them myself, most of the time I sautee them. In olive oil. Which “sautee” is a French word for frying.
Donc la’!

happyfeet (28a91b) — 4/22/2017 @ 9:54 pmFor Earth Day, Bing reliably barfs up a few rah rah stories for the retrograde segment of the socialist party.
Arctic Water’s Plastic – Where the media unipundit tries to leave the impression that the Soviet segment of the Arctic is clogged with plastic so thick that polar bears use it like an air mattress.
Sounds life a feel goood story to me. If it were true. Of course it’s not. But if it were true a buoyant raft of plastic substrait in the arctic would act as an ecosystem for plankton and diatoms throughout the year, instead of the poor diatoms having to rely on the bottom of ice flows which melt leaving them helpless on the whim of the tide.
Space Junk – Where the media try to sell the idea that we are running out of space in space. Ridiculous.
My thinking is this is promotion of make work for people who see global warming isn’t restricted to Earth, that the whole of our solar system is warming slightly, but reading the tea leaves of where full veritas in reporting those findings will lead when applied to their other favorite hobbyhorse are stabbing around for their next meal ticket.
The last story about Earth Day you heard about, but might have not noticed the effect of, the day before Earth Day San Francisco got a taste of where their policies will lead. Blackout on Market Street.

narciso (d1f714) — 4/23/2017 @ 6:40 amSEOUL, April 23 (Reuters) – North Korea detained a U.S. citizen on Friday as he attempted to leave the country, bringing the total number of Americans held by the isolated country to three.
Korean-American Tony Kim had spent a month teaching an accounting course at the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST), the university’s chancellor, Chan-Mo Park, told Reuters on Sunday.
Kim, who also goes by his Korean name Kim Sang-duk and is in his fifties, was detained by North Korean officials at Pyongyang International Airport as he attempted to leave the country, Park said.
“The cause of his arrest is not known but some officials at PUST told me his arrest was not related to his work at PUST. He had been involved with some other activities outside PUST such as helping an orphanage,” Park said.

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 4/23/2017 @ 10:20 amYeah, but that’s the obvious problem, Colonel.
I was trying to delve into Tony’s motivation. Presuming Kim wasn’t dispatched there by a legal guardian due to mental incapacity, why would a grown man leave America one month ago to take a position with Pyongyang U.?

That small percentage may be due to traditional outrage at the perverse. Just a thought.
On the other hand, these days the outrage must be at that outrage, and the perverse normalized. (See:SSM)
Anyway, give it 15 years, Dove soap will be the most butch thing in the country.

Steve57 (0b1dac) — 4/23/2017 @ 3:21 pm104. One question is: Is this e-mail something that was published by Wikileaks? Or not? I would kind of suspect it was, except that:
1) Wikileaks published its first emails on July 22, 2016 and the FBI said it would investigate the hack on July 25, 2016. And also Comey’s statement about closing the Clinton investigation was issued on July 5, 2016 and the FBI had this document before this.
2) And the New York Times article says the FBI received this “early last year”
3) And David Margolis died on Tuesday, July 12, 2016.
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/16/us/david-margolis-a-justice-department-institution-dies-at-76.html
Here we have the Yoda comparison too!
Today’s New York Times article says: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/22/us/politics/james-comey-election.html
That would mean that Comey talked to him sometime between, let’s say, February to May, and the FBI had the document before that. This also means the FBI was planning to close the case, or thought it very well might, long before July. Something was maybe preventing it – probably Hillary Clinton delaying her interview. She stretched that out, until she suddenly agreed after ill meeting with Attorney General Lynch and until they reached the point in the election cycle where indictments are not supposed to take place.
the Justice Department memorial for Mr. Margolis seems to have been in late October or early November, judging from this article, but I don’t know when it really was.
Sammy Finkelman (4591c3) — 4/23/2017 @ 3:56 pmIt is significant that we don’t read of any discussion about whether or not the e-mail is authentic, and surely people sympathetic to the Clinton campaign and their own integrity would have raised that issue if it was possible to raise.
The DNC itself only discovered the hack around May, but they didn’t let the FBI look through their computers, so this really have to be a different source, like they said, they discovered some of what the Russians had taken.
One possible reason to keep secret who wrote this is that it is highly illegal to disclose the names of Americans caught up in foreign intelligence spying if it is not for some legal government purpose, and it could be the New York Times’ sources didn’t tell who wrote the email or memo (a memo would be not necessarily addressed to anyone, even if it was shown to someone) or what exactly it said that was maybe a little bit convincing.

Unmasking to the public is highly illegal as we have been reading in connection with Michael Flynn. It may be illegal to confirm it even without the name, and
Michael B. Steinbach, the former senior national security official at the F.B.I., declined to do so.
The NYT doesn’t exactly say it was unpersuasive, it just says you could understand it as standard (uninformed) Washington political chatter. It may even have been that, but it obviously betrayed a lot of cynicism, which the writer did not epect the reader to disagree with.
They got that claim that it was maybe just chatter from some of their sources.
It might have been addressed to nobody, but also,, at the same time, was obviously written for a third person or persons to read.
If the intended audience was one of Hillary Clinton’s lawyers, or some other person very interested in this, there would not have been an addressee on the document, which might have been a draft in any case.

Sounds good till I do it then I pine for another. I find myself thinking about the Caddy Seville circa 1985. The one with the boot”.

Yes it is curious. I haven’t figured out why, except maybe for the idea that he might have been a source, and they wish to conceal that, but I am not sure about that.
He’s only mentioned here:
Now, if the New York Times could not talk to David Margolis because he was dead by the time they heard about this, and they don’t know what was said * at the meeting, then it sounds like Andrew McCabe didn’t talk to them.
But maybe he did. But somebody else said another thing and he was only only one source and they couldn’t decide whom or what to believe.
It sounds like they heard more than one version, because Matt Apuzzo et al don’t say “What was said is not known” but “what exactly was said is not known.”

Sammy Finkelman (4591c3) — 4/23/2017 @ 7:02 pm* Well, and this may be important, “what exactly” was said at the meeting.

There’s actually three paragraphs there about Christopher Steele. It is semi-accurate.
The last sentence “It was increasingly clear at the F.B.I. that Russia was trying to interfere with the election.” applies to that whole section, entitled Russia Rising, going back to:
“Days after Mr. Comey’s news conference, [July 5, 2016, in which he closed the investigation into Hillary Clinton the first time] Carter Page, an American businessman, gave a speech in Moscow criticizing American foreign policy. Such a trip would typically be unremarkable, but Mr. Page had previously been under F.B.I. scrutiny years earlier, as he was believed to have been marked for recruitment by Russian spies. And he was now a foreign policy adviser to Mr. Trump.”
One of Matt Apuzzo, Michael S. Schmidt, Adam Goldman and Eric Lichtblau.

That’s one of the things I thought right away, when hearing about how long he’d been there and taht he came in during the Johnson Administration.

I also recall that John Reid, or whoever it was who wanted Patterico to back off from
Sammy Finkelman (4591c3) — 4/23/2017 @ 7:38 pmdiscovering who was behind the sockpuppets in the Anthony Weiner case in 2011, also called himself a cleaner or something to that effect. Maybe around July, 2011 in one of the emails Patterico posted. Or maybe this was actually who called themselves something else.
116, yes I do, Hoagie. The Tucker was a car too far ahead of it’s time and had some unconventional- but still pleasing – styling. But the Studebakers that I see rolling around – and an old guy around the corner from us has one just like the photo, same color and all – just really impress me… styling that was the best America had to offer back then, almost on par with Italian marques like Maserati and Alfa.

@ 98 How did you get that last sentence fragment past the auto censor?
Just lucky or perhaps since it was an accurate description of the village idiot it passed muster.

I guess it’s a good thing I’m not involved in making policy. My emotions might lead me to mistake.

The question should have been not why wasn’t McCabe mentioned in the article (because they would have had nothing to say about him) but why he wasn’t he mentioned by name.
I’m thinking maybe he agreed to be a source on condition that his name wasn’t mentioned in the article, so even they had another reason altogether to metion him, they avoided using his name.
They also must have more than one version of what was said by “Yoda.”
Sammy Finkelman (4591c3) — 4/24/2017 @ 9:17 amInteresting what deductions you can make.
This article also confirms the reporting last year that the FBI had really decided months before not to charge Hillary for anything. What held it up was Hillary always putting off the FBI interview.
We can have a couople of possible deductions why but most likely is that she was not sure what she would be asked, or NOT ASKED, about. She maybe wanted to be officially “cleared” if she could bem but if she couldn’t, she wanteds to drag a decision out to when it was really against DOJ policy to indict, which was probably the convention. So she kept promising to do an interview and then making excuses for it not to happen. If she had refused m then there was the possibility of them indicting her or naming her an inundicted co-conspirator or soemthing without an interview.
Then, three days after Bill Clinton meets with Loretta Lynch, the interview takes place. The NYT artivle reveals that somebody tried to get Bill Clinton off that plane, but the meeting still lasted 20 minutes. It was sprung on Loretta Lynch. The NYT doesn’t ahve the story as to how Bill CVlinton planned that, but he did.
Now as for what he wanted to do, I think, most of all, Bill Clinton wanted to see if she would avoid seeing him and maybe what she would avoid talking about. He knew he would be a target of any RICO investigation, and if he was, Loretta Lynch would be forewarned not to speak to him, but if he wasn’t, she wouldn’t, although she would avoid putting meetting on her schedule. He also knew a completely incidental encounter zt some gathering would have no informational value. He needed something unschdued that she had a chance to avoid.
And by her not running away fast he knew she wasn’t warned not to speak to him, which meant he wasn’t a target yet, which meant there was no active RICO investigation, which meant Hillary would not be asked questions about the Clinton Foundation, which meant it was safe for Hillary to do that interview.
Sammy Finkelman (4591c3) — 4/24/2017 @ 9:21 amThen, three days after Bill Clinton meets with Loretta Lynch, the interview takes place…
Now as for what he wanted to do, I think, most of all, Bill Clinton wanted to see if she would avoid seeing him and maybe what she would avoid talking about.
I think this makes a LOT of sense… and kind of helps me make sense of this confuzzling jumble of detail that doesn’t quite serve to detail anything
I think the NYT propaganda sluts don’t want you to think too much about this part of their little narrative, and they’re throwing up some chaff here.
happyfeet (28a91b) — 4/24/2017 @ 9:32 amHe probably travelled to Phoenix just for that reason.
He waited for her, as he didn’t know exactly what her plane would touch down, so he had to be there early, but not take off. This detail doesn’t make it into the New York Times story because they didn’t (much) check other reporting.
Notice that we get contradictory leaks. In my opinion when there are two versions of astory, and one version comes from Bill or Hillary Clinton or aides close to them, and one does not, the Clinton version is the lie.
From Bill Clinton’s aides: When the former president learned who was on the plane * …he asked to say hello….he intended only to greet Ms. Lynch as she disembarked
From Loretta Lynch: Mr. Clinton wanted to come aboard
* i.e. he didn’t know in advance she was there, although he could have found out she was coming because it was part of a nationwide tour of police departments.
