Andrew Sullivan Would Like You To Take Him Seriously When Discussing Mental Health
[guest post by Dana]
To my mind, any talk about the “objective truth” is particularly rich when coming from a man who obsessively pushed a conspiracy theory involving Sarah Palin’s uterus and made Trig Trutherism a thing.
Sullivan’s disgusting, ends-justify-the-means obsession with the personal family life of Sarah Palin breached every ethical and journalistic boundary known to the cosmos. Between airing Palin’s hacked private emails and making a cottage industry out of challenging the maternity of her son, Trig, sometimes the word “irony” or “hypocrisy” is not descriptive enough.
Certainly, let’s take Dr. Sullivan’s discussions about mental health with the seriousness it deserves.
(Pre-emptive strike: This post is only a comment about Sullivan’s own mental health.)

New York Magazine has given Sullivan a berth at their publication. That speaks volumes.

Based on his depraved obsession over Sarah Palin’s pregnancy, was this a pun? If so, well done!

Failafornia’s dam at Oroville is likely to fail in the next few hours.
Convinced that climate change had doomed the state to never-ending drought, the geniuses your fellow citizens elect, and re-elected, to public office neglected to consider the condition of the spill way for the dam. With the design calling for 125,000 cu-ft/sec, the structure began failing at 12,500 cu-ft/sec. The operators are dumping water as fast as they can in hopes of saving the dam. If they fail, the release will be “uncontrolled”, meaning they can’t estimate the volume flow. The Feather River flows into the Yuba River, and the consequences could be widespread.
BobStewartatHome (c24491) — 2/12/2017 @ 5:55 pmthe entire inland could flood we get more of these atmospheric rivers
that would be worth a road trip
happyfeet (28a91b) — 2/12/2017 @ 5:56 pmwow the fake news the propaganda sluts is doing on oroville is really interesting
you have to read each article twice or three times to understand that when the spillway fails it’s same as if the dam fails
glub glub
it’ll be like when oprah’s interior designer lost his boyfriend

LAKE OROVILLE, Calif. – There is a mandatory evacuation order in place for low-lying levels of Oroville and areas downstream. It is an order for IMMEDIATE evacuation.
A hazardous situation is developing with the Oroville Dam auxiliary spillway. Operation of the auxiliary spillway has lead to severe erosion that could lead to a failure of the structure. Failure of the auxiliary spillway structure will result in an uncontrolled release of flood waters from Lake Oroville.
In response to this developing situation, DWR is increasing water releases to 100,000 cubic feet per second.
Immediate evacuation from the low levels of Oroville and areas downstream is ordered.
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/12/2017 @ 6:08 pmWhen the farmers in the southern portion of the Central Valley first claimed their land, they did it from wagons that could float. Tulare Lake was one of the largest lakes west of the Mississippi. The ground water from the area has been so depleted since that time that the ground has fallen 30 feet in some places. This area produces a substantial fraction of the nations vegetables. Stock up on garlic and Brussel sprouts. They might be hard to find in a couple of months.

So you’ll know what they’re talking about with “spillway failure”.
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/12/2017 @ 6:43 pmSo is this another army corps of engineers, fustercluck. Or is this unique to betamaz brown and Co?
narciso (d1f714) — 2/12/2017 @ 6:43 pmpapertiger thanks–unbelievable video.
elissa (b5c426) — 2/12/2017 @ 6:50 pmHere’s a link to a Google “Earth” view of the dam and the emergency spillway. This appears to be the first time the emergency spillway has been used. The concrete in the spillway was known to be in questionable condition. I presume that the problem is the potential erosion of the hill beneath the spillway, which would provide a direct path from the large reservoir, Lake Oroville, to the river below. Lake Oroville contains about 3.5 million acre feet of water, and has a surface area of about 25 square miles (15,810 acres).
This is the be the lake that is to store excess run-off from Lake Shasta in the evening hours so that it could be discharged the next day to help with mid-day air conditioning demand. If the dam is lost, the effects will be cascade into the Failafornia power system above and beyond what the Feather River flow produced.
BobStewartatHome (c24491) — 2/12/2017 @ 6:52 pmHow far down could this conceivably flow? Spillway used in 1968 possibly. Not maintained. Horrible. Catastrophic.
elissa (b5c426) — 2/12/2017 @ 6:57 pmlast time we had catastrophic flooding angela and brad were till together and we faced it as a family
what the hell are we gonna do now
happyfeet (28a91b) — 2/12/2017 @ 6:58 pmThe dam will fail.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 2/12/2017 @ 7:04 pmThe guy narrating papertiger’s You Tube video thinks 1/4 of Cali agriculture could be off-line for a year. Topsoil eroded, transport roads and rail lines damaged. I hope he’s over-reacting but he sure sounded like he had a handle on the situation.
elissa (b5c426) — 2/12/2017 @ 7:04 pmAnd if not now, we’re just one unseasonable heatwave away from catastrophic flooding in much of NorCal.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 2/12/2017 @ 7:08 pmI put up a post about this. I suggest moving the comments there.

Skeptical Voter (1d5c8b) — 2/14/2017 @ 12:33 pmNarciso at 6:43. This is a state screwup, California Water Project was Pat Brown’s baby back in the day. Oroville is part of that project. Central Valley Authority is the federal water agency.
