Since the pandemic began last year, Nugent has described it as a “scam,” ridiculed mask-wearers as “sheep,” and proudly announced that he would never take a coronavirus vaccine. But he changed his tune in a Facebook live on Monday when he complained to viewers: “I have had flu symptoms for the last 10 days. I thought I was dying. Just a clusterfuck. I was tested positive today. I got the Chinese shit. I’ve got a stuffed up head, body aches. My God, what a pain in the ass. I literally could hardly crawl out of bed the last few days.”</span></p> </blockquote> <p><strong>NOTE</strong></p> <p><strong>The previous version of the diary was flagged for violating the Rules of the Road (not wishing for demise of anyone/invoking karma)… I’m not sure that I actually stepped over that line, but I will be more careful with what I say here.</strong></p> <p>For those unaware of who Ted Nugent is…&nbsp;long story short, he’s a highly over-rated guitarist who had a few hits as a solo artist, was in the briefly popular band “Damn Yankees”, and now likes to wear cowboy hats and camo gear while brandishing assault rifles as he trolls the libs.&nbsp; (His appropriation of military-themed garb is ironically hilarious, since he is an admitted draft dodger.)</p> <p>My wife and her sisters all tested positive for COVID-19 back in October…&nbsp;several of my nieces, nephews, and cousins have tested positive.&nbsp; I have been lucky in that none of my family have died from COVID-19, but I have lost a few friends/former coworkers to this terrible disease.&nbsp; Most of the adult members of my family are fully vaccinated (I’m at 1 out of 2 shots (Moderna) myself).&nbsp; Hopefully everyone reading this story is either vaccinated, or will be soon.</p> <p>I certainly hope that Mr. Nugent makes a full recovery, even though he is a truly awful shit-stain on the underpants of humanity.&nbsp; I really don’t want to waste my time explaining or recounting the hundreds of times that Mr. Nugent’s actions and words have demonstrated that he is, quite simply, an awful human being with approximately 0.0023 redeeming qualities (rounded down).</p> <p>Time for the potential silver linings:</p> <ul> <li>If Ted Nugent DOES make a recovery, perhaps he will encourage some of the “deplorables” to actually get vaccinated.&nbsp; I think the chances of this occurring are extremely remote.</li> <li>Perhaps some of the COVID deniers and conspiracy theorists will see this news, and decide to get vaccinated, or wear a mask more frequently.&nbsp; This could actually happen…&nbsp;but again, I think it’s a pretty small percentage that will be swayed by this news.</li> <li>If Ted Nugent ends up dying from COVID-19, I certainly will shed no tears, but again it may scare a few COVID deniers into signing up to be vaccinated.</li> </ul> <p>As I said in the original version of the diary, “science is true whether or not you believe in it” (believe that is originally from Neil deGrasse Tyson) —&nbsp;it seems that those who choose to engage in conspiracy theories about the virus and vaccines, may end up providing an object lesson of the wisdom of that saying.</p> <p class="is-empty-p"></p> rss@dailykos.com (Majikthise) Covid-19 Recommended TedNugent _2026750 Tue, 20 Apr 2021 15:05:07 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2020/11/4/1992848/-My-forecast-for-the-final-vote-in-Georgia-math-included <p>I posted a similar article (<a href="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/11/4/1992794/-It-all-comes-down-to-Nevada-and-here-s-the-math" target="_blank">www.dailykos.com/...</a>) a couple of hours ago, forecasting the Nevada election…&nbsp;my methodology led me to predict that Biden’s lead (currently 7,647 votes) will increase to a final margin of 12,211 votes when 100% of precincts are reported.&nbsp; Now I’m engaging in a similar exercise for Georgia, which is getting REALLY tight and is an even bigger prize with 16 electoral votes.&nbsp; My method is pretty simple: take the county-by-county results, and assume that “percent Biden” and “percent Trump” remain constant in each county as the votes are tallied.&nbsp; Use the percentage of votes counted in each county, extrapolate to 100% counted, and you get what should be a fairly accurate guess.</p> <p>In my Nevada article, I predicted that Georgia (current Trump lead is about 39,000 votes, with 95% reporting) would end up with a margin of less than 10,000 votes.&nbsp; And now, for the actual math (lots and LOTS of counties in Georgia, feel free to scroll rapidly downwards for the good stuff):</p> <div class="table-wrapper"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="0"> <tbody> <tr style="height:21px"> <td style="background-color:#ffffff;

This was data from the NBC website, pulled at 8:30 PM Central timezone on 04 Nov.</p> <p>2.&nbsp; I am not attempting to do a highly detailed breakdown of in-person versus absentee/mail-in percentages, since that data is not readily available. What IS readily available for each county is the raw vote totals, and the estimate of the percent completion.&nbsp; I have also heard that there are tens of thousands of mail-in/absentee ballots left to count, especially in the Atlanta area.&nbsp; It is widely accepted that the “early vote” is more heavily skewed towards Democrats in this cycle.&nbsp; If that does bear to be true, it greatly

https://www.dailykos.com/story/2020/3/24/1930856/-This-has-me-WORRIED-SICK-for-the-general-election <p>So… I’m on Facebook for quite a few years now.  I rarely post anything on there (and if I do, it’s usually funny pictures of one of my 2 dogs or 3 cats).  I really don’t think that my Facebook “friends” give two shits where I’m eating dinner, or which Disney character I most resemble, or any of the other crap that’s on there.  I scroll through it once or twice a week to see what folks are up to — this can be useful for keeping up with friends and former co-workers that are no longer living nearby.  Also useful for reminding me why I’m really REALLY glad that I haven’t seen pretty much any of my relatives from my father’s side of the family since about 1987.</p> <p>However, this post (from a former co-worker… let’s call him “Jim”) stopped me dead in my tracks.  Jim’s a good guy, very intelligent, very friendly, and solidly on the “liberal side of the spectrum”.  He started out by quoting a tweet from someone else… the tweet read as follows:</p> <blockquote> <p>it’s absolutely awful that joe biden has gone AWOL during an unprecedented pandemic and economic meltdown, but it’s reaffirming to see him demonstrate, with every passing hour he refuses to do anything, that he fucking sucks in the most obvious way possible.</p> </blockquote> <p>Now, to me this is just a giant, steaming load of nonsensical HORSESHIT.  Biden has called press conferences and laid out detailed plans of what we should do, both to slow down the spread of COVID and to help those affected by the slowing economy — and welcomed the Trump administration to use his ideas.  He has appeared on numerous TV shows and media outlets to urge people to NOT believe the line of BS being spouted by the Trump administration, and to be safe and practice social distancing.  I mean — Biden is the most likely person to be the eventual Democratic nominee at this point in time.  He holds no ACTUAL power… so what is he supposed to do?  Get a “BIDEN SEAL TEAM ALPHA” together and storm the White House?  I was expecting my former co-worker to lay into this guy.  But… here’s where it got really sad, and really depressing, really quickly.</p> <p>Jim’s post read as follows:</p> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <p class="is-empty-p"></p> <blockquote> <div><span><span><span>And this is why I say we all still vote for Bernie in the general even if he doesn't win the democratic primary.  </span><span>Well, that and just because I refuse to vote for someone who doesn't share any of the same goals as I do.  </span></span></span><span><span><span>I might go green like I did in 2016. We will see.</span></span></span></div> </blockquote> <p>What.  In.  The.  ACTUAL.  Hell.</p> <p>If you were/are a fervent Bernie supporter (my candidate was Warren, if that matters) I completely understand NOT being 100% enthusiastic about Joe Biden.  Biden was about my 7th or 8th pick as the primary season started, behind Warren, Castro, Booker, Harris, Sanders, Gillibrand, et cetera.  I would have LOVED to cast a general election vote for Elizabeth Warren.  But - I will crawl through broken glass, swarms of fiery meteors, and rampaging packs of ROUS’s to vote for Biden in November.  If you write in “Bernie Sanders” (assuming he is not the nominee) you are WASTING your vote.  If you vote Green, or any other third party, you are WASTING your vote.  (I do get that some states have electoral votes that are foregone conclusions — some states are going Blue, and some states are going Red, so a “protest vote” there isn’t going to swing the election.)  But for the love of all that is holy… if you live in a state where the outcome is even SLIGHTLY in doubt… do not waste your vote on a noble gesture.  If this election ends up like “2020 — the Swing States Strike Back”, and Trump is re-elected by narrow margins in Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, et cetera… <span style="text-align:left">it will be disastrous for this nation, and the world</span></p> <p>Our next president (barring some kind of catastrophic health event from one of the nominees) is going to be Joe Biden or Donald Trump.  You may have preferred Sanders vs Trump, or Warren vs Trump, or Harris vs Trump… but the contest you are going to get is Biden vs Trump.  Make your vote count.  We cannot afford to be anything less than 100% unified.</p> <p class="is-empty-p"></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> rss@dailykos.com (Majikthise) 2020GeneralElection JoeBiden _1930856 Tue, 24 Mar 2020 22:03:51 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/9/12/1569441/-Trump-s-appeal-to-the-FDA-no-not-that-one <ul> <li>My first blog.  Long time lurker, fairly new member.  Please be gentle.</li> <li>I’m a scientist by trade (PhD in biochemistry), so I tend to be analytical, even overly so.  It also means that I love, love, LOVE bulleted lists.  I like to keep things organized.</li> <li>The FDA I speak of in the title, is not the US Food and Drug Administration.  (I deal with them on a regular basis in my line of work, which is developing and validating immunoassays.)  They’re actually a bunch of great people, so long as all of your work is documented thoroughly and you’ve followed regulations.  If you haven’t… then they will rip you to shreds (as they should).</li> <li>No — the “FDA” I refer to in the title is the <strong>F</strong>ucking <strong>D</strong>umb <strong>A</strong>sses of America.  Profanity has its place in any good discussion, but I’ll use the acronym from now on.  If it seems like I come down hard on them… let me make a distinction.  By “FDA”, I don’t mean your garden variety person of sub-average intellectual capacity.  I mean a moron who is <u>aggressively</u> idiotic, and refuses to accept any arguments or evidence that could prove them wrong, about anything.</li> </ul> <p>There’s a well-known quote, often attributed to P.T.

Mencken did; (2) the common version of the quote above isn’t what Mencken actually said.  The actual quote came from a column Mencken published in the Chicago Daily Tribune on September 19, 1926, titled “Notes on Journalism”.  Here’s the meat of the actual quote:</p> <p>“<em>No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”</em></p> <p>He goes on to say the following:</p> <p>“<em>Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly.  <strong>They dislike ideas, for ideas make them uncomfortable</strong>.”</em></p> <p>This was written 90 years ago — and as true as it was back then, it is more true now.  It was a damning statement in 1926, and things are far worse today.  Begin bulleted list #2, for why the situation is in decline:</p> <ul> <li>The rise of the internet.  Don’t get me wrong… I love many things about the interwebs.  E-mail is awesome.  I love being able to check sports scores on my smartphone, and to get news updates without wasting trees to make paper.  I can look up information on anything, quickly and easily.  However — as you may know, not everything on the internet is true.  Plus, it is now possible for any FDA out there to broadcast their opinion, loudly and repeatedly, to anyone.  No attribution is needed.  No sources for data are required.  Just an internet connection, and the ability to type on a keyboard.</li> <li>The decline of public education, especially the emphasis on “teaching to the test”, as opposed to teaching critical thinking skills.  My wife is a high school teacher for 13 years now (chemistry and biology), and she is a saint — but she often is demoralized by how many of today’s teenagers lack just basic reasoning skills.  I’m not talking about memorizing the electronegativity series… I’m talking about realizing that the answer to “who invented the periodic table” is not “proton”.  It is not crucial that students can rattle off the elements of the periodic table, or remember what year the Battle of Hastings occurred, after their schooling is done.  They need to be able to THINK CRITICALLY.  They need to be able to ANALYZE a situation, and EVALUATE the motives and reasons behind what they see going on in the world.  Conservatives do not generally see any benefit in having a citizenry that possesses these skills.</li> <li>And, the big one.  The absolute lack of regard in this country for intelligence, as being something to be desired or cultivated.  I can personally attest to this... the number of times that I was insulted for being the “smart kid” would require scientific notation to list accurately.  (I believe the best one was, “you must jack off to your calculus book, instead of Playboy".  I had no pithy response ready.)  I developed a thick skin as a result, but I also noticed that the best athletes in school were not derided.  The most handsome or beautiful kids were not mocked.  Envied, perhaps.  There is a reason for this, in my opinion: <strong>people of less-than-average intelligence fear and resent those who are truly intelligent</strong>.  You can work on becoming a better athlete; you can hit the gym, get a nice haircut, and buy some new clothes to become more attractive.  But when a person of truly high intelligence solves a problem in 5 seconds, that had someone else stumped for 15 minutes… it at first seems as if a magic trick was performed.  Then, the person feels embarrassed that they couldn’t figure it out.  That quickly moves to resentment, as it’s obviously the smart person’s fault for making the person feel that way.</li> </ul> <p>Which (finally) gets me back to this post’s main point.  I believe, strongly, that Donald Trump is NOT stupid.  He is definitely amoral, narcissistic, racist, sexist, and ignorant.  (Note: ignorance =/= stupidity.)  He is quite shrewd, in the way of a con artist, and he knows the general character and temperament of a large portion of the American public.  I believe that Trump is INTENTIONALLY targeting his campaign to appeal to the FDA’s of this country.  The final bullet list:</p> <ul> <li>For the FDA, complicated and detailed explanations of policy proposals make them angry.  They don’t understand why the solution to a problem should be complex.  They want simplistic answers, that reaffirm their existing worldview and prejudices.  This is why they adore Trump.  Build that wall!  Bomb the shit out them!  National debt — just refuse to pay it!</li> <li>I believe that the main reason that HRC has such high unfavorability ratings has much less to do with her various “scandals” or “trustworthiness”, and MUCH more to do with the fact that she is quite obviously really, really, REALLY damn smart.  Most FDA’s cannot stand anyone who is much smarter than them.  They dislike being “talked down to” or “told what to do”.</li> <li>Related to the above point — if the FDA in question happens to be racist, or sexist… then if the smart person happens to be a minority, or a woman, it becomes absolutely INTOLERABLE.  There is a reason that when the adjective “uppity” is used, it is very often immediately followed by the word “n***er”.  And, the epithet “bitch” is just code for “highly intelligent and capable female”.</li> </ul> <p>Trump has tailored his campaign to appeal to the FDA’s of our society.  As Mencken said, ideas make them uncomfortable.  He is their dream candidate, as he never asks them to think, or question their assumptions.  Every problem in their life is someone else’s fault.  Everything can be fixed quickly, with decisive action taken by the Great Leader.  Why would he ever bother with specifics about any of his ideas?  The FDA’s don’t want details - details make their brains hurt.  They want vague assertions that someone will fix things, and that things will get better, and that they won’t need to make any sacrifices along the way.</p> <p>To prevail in this election, HRC (and Democrats down the ticket) need to do two things: (1) continue to make the case for why you SHOULD vote Democratic, and (2) continue to make the case that Trump CANNOT be trusted.  Both are equally important.  Lay out all the good policies that you’re going to promote; share your vision of how America will become stronger, and more inclusive.  Share your priorities of protecting the environment, protecting individual rights, and promoting income equality — and you will persuade the “non-FDA” portion of the country.  Continue to HAMMER at Trump for his shady dealings, for his bankruptcies, for his hidden tax returns, for his lack of basic knowledge of world affairs, for his Russian connections, and for his racist and sexist statements.  You won’t convince many FDA’s to vote for HRC, but you’ll persuade some of them to stay home, or vote third party.</p> <p>To close, allow me to quote Isaac Asimov: <em>“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, <strong>nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge</strong>.”   </em>We <u>cannot</u> allow ignorance to gain the upper hand.</p> rss@dailykos.com (Majikthise) 2016Election Clinton trump _1569441 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 22:53:08 +0000
