I Have A System For Managing Disasters Without You

This post, being about quackery, isn't really on a race issue. Except it's happening in Haiti. And Haitians are black. And really, really poor. And homeopaths are usually white. Playing "doctor."

I just shuddered to think of it (hint to some of you: that's what a "normal" American feels right about there) and now I feel so haunted I'm even sorry I had to bring it up at all:

“Despite Homeopaths Without Borders’ claims to the contrary, ‘homeopathic humanitarian help’ is a contradiction in terms. Although providing food, water, and solace to people in areas affected by wars and natural disasters certainly constitutes valuable humanitarian work, any homeopathic treatment deceives patients into thinking they are receiving real treatment when they are not. 

Homeopathy is neither helpful nor humanitarian, and to claim otherwise to the victims of disasters amounts to exploitation,...”

I wish everybody would stop saying "victims" because American conservatives' heads will explode.

And I got enough on my plate already,...

Fact: You'll Never Meet A Single Con Artist With Ethics

Just peeked at the Althouse blog and she's back to grifting.

How much money will she need before she flips out, again, and starts regarding her readers as "losers"?

This time?

I figure, enough to redo the bedroom, at least,...

 

Is Ann Althouse The Most Unethical Blogging Law Prof?

Alright, I'm happy to report I'm off to a late start today because of arrangements being made for me to get a financial breather from my friends in the art world. Since I've isolated myself, it takes a while for news about me to get around, but I guess, somehow, it still does. Best reaction, so far?

"You're a top-shelf artist, working as a landscaper? 

That doesn't make any sense,…"

They've rarely understood what's happened to me. 

Anyway, if it all works out right, I should be O.K. until I get my legs fully underneath me again. Some readers have made it possible for me to keep eating, in the meantime, and I send each of them a heartfelt "Thank you" as well. Now let's skewer something:

Yesterday I did a post about a politician who was being (get ready for it) "disingenuous and absurd.” I didn't mention she was gay because all that mattered to me was A) she was a stupid liar and B) I'd found a new lyrical way to say that.

Ann Althouse feels different.

Just as during Ann's last public meltdown, the fact the stupid liar is gay has become all-important, with Ann applauding the lesbian's lies as playing The Gay Card "for all it's worth". Here's my first so-straight-forward-it-should-end-the-debate question:

How much is Ann saying being gay is "worth" if it's based on lies?

Also, Ann (showing what a fascinatingly twisted and wicked mind she has) excuses gay lies as "exploiting what is exploitable". This jibes *perfectly* with her established outlook in general, and even towards her former readers, who she so callously dismissed over her cock-eyed approach to gay and feminist issues, after calling them "losers", and having taken their money. She's a law professor who doesn't recognize right from wrong.

Which goes hand-in-hand with Glenn Reynolds' statement that a good thing about being a law professor is you can throw things out there and not care of their effect on others. He still links to Ann, his fellow law prof, no matter what she's done or how it affected others, or even if he writes daily of opposing her noxious brand of  feminism.

What they're both telling us, publicly, is they have no true character, no sense of ethics:

Ethics, also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. The term comes from the Greek word ethos, which means "character". Ethics is a complement to Aesthetics in the philosophy field of Axiology. In philosophy, ethics studies the moral behavior in humans and how one should act. Ethics may be divided into four major areas of study: 

• Meta-ethics, about the theoretical meaning and reference of moral propositions and how their truth values (if any) may be determined; 

• Normative ethics, about the practical means of determining a moral course of action; 

• Applied ethics, about how moral outcomes can be achieved in specific situations; 

• Descriptive ethics, also known as comparative ethics, is the study of people's beliefs about morality; 

Ethics seeks to resolve questions dealing with human morality—concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime.

Ann and Glenn resolve nothing. They are the blogging equivalent of ghetto monsters, pimps or drug dealers, impressing the youngsters with what they have, making the ugly way they get it - which is ultimately harmful to all they come in contact with - appear more attractive than what it is. Or did you, too, think Romney would win like they told you? Think Reynolds cares they told you wrong? Think again. They're merely "exploiting what is exploitable". 

YOU.

My second so-straight-forward-it-should-end-any-debate question: 

Is that really what tenured American professors, teaching the youth, were supposed to be about? 

 If so, I'll tell the pimps and drug dealers they can come out now, because they wouldn't be working in the shadows if the likes of feminist Ann and Libertarian Glenn weren't so adamant they're the ones living wrong,...

 

Study Hard (Because It May Be The One Thing You Do)

The Onion has a piece called How Can I Use Feminism To My Advantage? that reads like it's from a young Ann Althouse:

I wanted to cash in on the centuries-long subjugation of my gender, too! 

Many modern women are afraid to call themselves feminists. I often remind these weak, confused women of the words of Gloria Steinem: "In my heart, I think a woman has two choices: Either she's a feminist or a masochist." When I first read Steinem, she awoke ambitions I never knew I had. I wanted to be just like her—powerful, famous, and financially well off. 

Since my awakening, I've memorized quotations from feminists of all stripes, from Betty Friedan to Susan Faludi. Decades of activists have left persuasive arguments in support of my campus group's private study lounge in the student union. Hey, whatever works. Take that, International Students Club! Have fun studying in the library, with all the other losers who don't have a dedicated study lounge. 

Not all feminists have this attitude, and I'm relieved. If they did, feminism wouldn't work half as well as it does. Most of the women in the network are fully committed to eradicating harmful gender stereotypes and redefining sexual archetypes. I am, too, whenever it places me in a favorable social position.

Yep, that's our girl - exploitive to the end. Here's her Wikipedia page. See if you can grasp her larger significance, because I can't. No lives saved. No ground broken (except for herself, as The Onion jokes). No true challenges to anything - not even "the patriarchy". No reason to ever think she's anything other than superficially "smart" and unworthy of admiration. Not a single contribution, or concern, for the country or mankind. 

Here's, ultimately, what I found:

Althouse has a degree in fine art from the University of Michigan, B.F.A. 1973, and graduated first in her class from New York University School of Law, J.D. 1981.

Translation: 

The woman with some of the worst taste in art imaginable can still memorize like a motherfucker (landing her smack dab in the "artists who can't - teach" category).

Other than her nephew being a famous golfer, there's not much else. First in her class, and she's famous for riding the feminist-with-a-mouth train, and nothing more.

Her "career" is being Al Sharpton in a dress.

Seriously, there's nothing else there. She's just another insane middle class cipher (look at that photo) taking up valuable space, the amazing memory failing her when updating her biography. 

Wikipedia does mention her famous never-again-mentioned statement on the Obama cult - that he used "trickery" to get the dummy's vote - but, for instance, there's not a single word about her repeated public breakdowns (whether on Wikipedia or her blog) which I find all-around-dishonest. Her one-sided and ignorant broadsides against the Catholic church, in defense of her gay son, don't get mentioned either (She supposedly "teaches" on religion and the Constitution, which must be fun to hear,...). And her goofy racial obsessions - she once saw racism in an innocent smiling statue - get nothing. 

That should tell you how Ann, and biographies on Wikipedia, "work". Just leave out the shit everybody needs to know and viola! You've got Ann Althouse: Rule Breaker, or something else immature she can imagine herself, drunkenly, from a cafe'. (There's no "wine box" mentions on Wikipedia either - a total whitewash.)

Are you starting to get the picture of how Ann's "succeeded"?

No mention the crazy lady is crazy. The crazy lady keeps her trap quiet, too - while calling men out because, she thinks, no one will ever discover she's nuts. And she's riding that shit to the bank, laughing with her "feminist husband" (she's got two) on getting one over on the unsuspecting public. 

In other words, in a decent world - or if she was a man - she'd be a user, a loser, and a pig.

She's definitely been a bad example to her push-over of a kid - and decent bloggers everywhere,...

 

Ask And You Shall Receive (Because You're A Woman)

Now that she's spent your money, for calling you "losers," Ann Althouse is looking for "ideas for things to do on a big, empty, shiny new floor." 

 How about, go fuck yourself, Sexy?

 

Instapundit/Ann Althouse/Rand Paul/Tea Party: All Wet

Can we now call this the Instapundit/Althouse approach to politics?

“Rand Paul knows the Republican Party needs to broaden its base. He knows that few other Republicans are willing to reach out, and that many members of the party are content to hunker down with older, white voters. And he knows it's personally beneficial to his political career to do the reaching out. 

So why is he so bad at doing it?”

Oh, I don't know - because it "works" for his wallet? Anyway, yes, yes we can call this the Instapundit/Althouse approach to politics: 

After that "personally beneficial" break-down, it's now perfectly legit,...
