Three Cheers for Curtailing Obnoxious Traditions

Filed under: General — JVW @ 12:33 pm



[guest post by JVW]

The Administration announced today that President Trump would once again be skipping the annual White House Correspondents Dinner, a dreadful exercise where fatuous blowhards invite numbskull celebrities to dine in a Washington DC hotel ballroom, while Democrat Presidents are fawned over and Republican Presidents are skewered by hack comics chosen for their obedience to the diktats of social justice. President Trump also skipped last year’s gala, so he is now zero for two in attendance as Chief Executive, having had his ego bruised when he attended as a civilian seven years ago.

I am fine with the President skipping this stupid event, whose ostensible purpose is to raise scholarship money for journalism students but who is apparently spending a consistently lower share of its revenue on scholarships, while it’s executive director rakes in the compensation bucks. In that regard, it is pretty much the perfect Washington institution of this modern era.

While we’re at it, it would be great if this White House unilaterally discontinued the stupid habit of bringing in rich and famous athletes to be celebrated. Professional ballplayers are probably the last people in the world who need the extra adulation, and the President ought to have better things to do than to bask in the reflected glory of fabulously rich jocks. If we’re going to have a populist President, let’s have him go whole-hog and drastically curtail the dumb habit of hobnobbing with the media, entertainment, and business elite.

  1. dirty nfl thugtrash don’t belong in the white house they belong in a trailer park (downscale trailer park)

  2. I’m OK with certain exceptions being made for the ban on inviting pro sports teams to the White House. The Chicago Cubs winning the World Series for the first time in 108 years is worthy of celebration; the long-suffering Philadelphia Eagles should probably be invited; and a first-time NBA champ like the Denver Nuggets or the Atlanta Hawks would be acceptable to me. But no Patriots, yankees, Red Sox, Warriors, Heat, Lakers, or the rest of them. Please.

    I was just contrasting JVW’s hopes with Trump’s actual behavior.

    Lol if you think that trump will stop “hobnobbing with the media, entertainment, and business elite” that he meets at his golf club.

  8. People wonder how it is that President Trump makes all these good decisions all the time.

    It’s cause he’s a genius and he understands how sometimes the only way to win is not to play.

    God i love him more and more as we go along.

  20. I suspect for many presidents (possibly governors too if they do the charade as well) the turkey pardoning ceremony is the first time they have actually been close to a live turkey. And having been thus exposed I really have to wonder why they go through with it, I would love to have one change their mind, especially if they have young kids, “Thanks for bringing dinner.”

    This sounds like it was written by Colonel Haiku:

    Of course Anne and her illustrious but controversial husband Charles, were of a different time — a different generation. With almost seventy four years of “Lucky Linda’s” history-shattering trans-Atlantic flight having elapsed, small wonder that primarily octogenarians and trivia buffs remain among the few who remember the May 20, 1927 event.

  24. I’m all in favor of curtailing obnoxious traditions; I’d love to see dignity restored to the Oval Office. But our current POTUS lives & breathes for the most superficial and petty crap — so no, don’t expect President Reality-TV to do anything but accelerate the amount of superficial and petty crap featured at the White House.

    Well, not to lift too many fingers to defend Jill Filipovic, but the headline NBC used was total click-bait for what turned out to be a sligtly-less trolly argument. But she is still a lefty feminist, so it’s not as if she avoided the temptation to bash the GOP for not endorsing the NOW agenda 100%. For what it’s worth, the NBC News tweet is getting pretty badly ratioed.

    A small problem with the Jefferson and Lewis and Clark example is that L & C actually worked for Jefferson. But you do raise an interesting discussion like Rush Limbaugh’s Politically Correct football picks.

    On one hand you have a slave raper and on the other hand you have Native American rapers and exploiters and a guy who either committed suicide or died in a bar fight. Not to be confused with the guy who kilt a bar’ when he was just four. That’s a different bracket.

    Whenever we elect a president deemed worthy of support from anti-Trumpers, we can look forward to the return of such BS traditions — because the cultural elite used to just love Republicans before Trump messed everything up.

    Retired Air Force captain Colleen Shipman has revisited the bizarre attack by a female astronaut, which changed her world forever.

    Shipman was in her car in the parking lot of the Orlando International Airport in Orlando, Florida, in February of 2007, when a woman asked her for help.

    The woman – astronaut Lisa Nowak – had just driven 14 hours from Houston, later telling police she wore an adult diaper so she didn’t heave to stop to use the bathroom, to attack Shipman.

    Shipman was dating Nowak’s ex, astronaut William ‘Bill’ Oefelein. And Nowak wanted her out of the picture.

    ‘I know in my heart she wanted me dead,’ Shipman told People.

  125. In his decision in Worman v. Baker, Judge Young declared that “assault weapons and LCMs [large capacity magazines] are not within the scope of the personal right to ‘bear arms’ under the Second Amendment.”

    Why does Young think this? Because Scalia said in Heller that some weapons of primarily military use would not necessarily be covered by the Second Amendment (“weapons that are most useful in military service—M-16 rifles and the like—may be banned…”). Young believes that qualities of the weapons and magazines covered by the challenged law mark them as of primarily military use.

    That phrase in Heller that Young relies on so much, echoing the 4th Circuit’s Kolbe decision, may not bear as much weight as he thinks. The context makes it clear that Scalia is discussing what he considers “dangerous and unusual weapons” and the M16, which he names specifically in the next paragraph after mentioning “dangerous and unusual weapons,” unlike civilian “assault weapons,” in some varieties has a full-automatic firing mode.

  126. Can this be real?

    He’s had enough of the laughs – American working in Luton, England is suing his work mates for “excessive banter”

    47-year old American born Thomas Nudge has lived in Luton, England for 4 years, having moved from New York to live with his online dating sweet heart, and works at a local supplies company. One would think that a man who moves from the hustle and bustle of New York would find serenity and peace in a quiet town like Luton, but it seems Nudge is having difficulty adapting to the British way of life – something made evident by the fact that he is suing 8 of his male colleauges for “too much banter”.

  128. I condemn this:

    A cat belonging to poisoned ex-spy Sergei Skripal was put down by the government in the wake of the nerve agent attack.

    The black Persian cat Nash Van Drake was found in a ‘distressed state’ at his home in Salisbury, the Mail can reveal.

    A veterinary surgeon made a decision to euthanise the animal to ‘alleviate its suffering’, it was said.

    Mr Skripal’s two guinea pigs were also found dead in his home when a vet gained access to the property.
