What do Democrats stand for?
What do Democrats really stand for today? Are they opposed to wealth? Do they support the working class, the little man? Is it identity politics?
Ah, but look, today’s Democratic party isn’t really about addressing economic opportunity or even dealing with America’s most pressing problems – for starters, many Democrats are not persuaded in the slightest that the annual deficit, accumulating debt, and ticking time bomb of entitlements are pressing problems at all. If Democrats really expected that electing Obama would solve problems, they would be angrier with him than we are. No, for most Democrats, their political party is about a cultural identity. That identity is heavily based on not being one of those people, i.e., Republicans or conservatives.

Countdown Begins For Congress On 'Doc Fix'
The perennial "doctor fix" is the latest casualty of the Super Committee's inability to come to a deal on deficit reduction. Without the temporary boost in payments Medicare sets for medical professionals to take care of seniors and the disabled, doctors warn that millions could see their health care choices limited.
"I don't see how primary care doctors could take anywhere near like a 27-percent pay cut and continue to function," said Don Klitgaard, a family physician at a local medical center in Harlan, Iowa. "I assume there's going to be a temporary fix, because the health care system is going to implode without it."

Black Friday mayhem gets better every year
Black Friday got crazy this year. Customers should equip themselves with bullet proof vests and goggles next year. According to one expert, "There's an awful lot of psychology going on here." Wow, can we box it up and sell it?
Throw them all out
I haven't read Peter Schweizer's Throw Them All Out, but the idea is irresistible. Like a lot of people, I've reached that point.
Black Friday's game
Despite having a good team this year, Arkansas still needed a perfect game to defeat LSU. They led 14-0 early but couldn't put LSU away. LSU won 41-17.

CO2 may not warm the planet all that much
New Scientist: "The climate may be less sensitive to carbon dioxide than we thought –
and temperature rises this century could be smaller than expected.
That's the surprise result of a new analysis of the last ice age.
However, the finding comes from considering just one climate model, and
unless it can be replicated using other models, researchers are dubious
that it is genuine."
A hell of a football game
This is a huge day in college football. LSU plays Arkansas at Baton Rouge in a game that recalls the Big Shootout of 1969. The winner has a chance to win the national championship.
It's crazy but I'm for both, having strong ties with both schools.

I'm thankful this year for friends and family, as always, but also for the Internet. I have been without TV, phone, and Internet since Monday. As you probably know, living in the pre-internet, pre-television, and pre-telephone age is not fun. I'm thankful for my iPhone that helped get me through.

Student loans: the next subprime mortgage crisis
Nancy Smith:
Student loans are more than fire traps for millions of American families. Trust me, they're the next subprime mortgage crisis.
They're the easiest loans out there. Enrolled in a couple of classes? Congrats, your loan application is accepted.
Fiscally mismanaged colleges and universities that should have been out of business long ago? Propped up by mediocre-at-best students paying their tuition with easy-peesy student loans.
Now all of a sudden, here's what we've got:
Student loan debt that surpassed total credit card debt in the U.S. This year’s graduating class of college seniors had the highest average debt to date, and that total just jumped above the $1 trillion mark.
All of the what-ifs in the BCS
The BCS is jumbled as a result of yesterday's upsets.
However, the biggest winner is Arkansas, who before this weekend needed to beat LSU and win the wacky three-team SEC tiebreaker to play for the national title. Now, the Hogs might be in the BCS championship picture even if they don’t represent the West in the SEC title game.
If Arkansas beats LSU, then the SEC tiebreaker goes to a combination of BCS standings and head-to-head results. To make it as simple as possible, if there’s a three-way tie in the West, here are the most likely scenarios:
• If LSU drops behind Alabama and Arkansas in the BCS standings, Alabama would play in the SEC championship. This would be most likely to happen.
And here’s where it gets interesting. If LSU falls to No. 3 in the BCS standings, Alabama would move up to the No. 1 slot and would play for the BCS championship with a win over Georgia in the SEC title game.
But how far up would Arkansas move? Let’s assume the Hogs are No. 3 in the BCS standings on Sunday night — moving past Oklahoma State, Oregon and Oklahoma — then they’d probably move up to No. 2 with a win over LSU and would be assured of a spot in the BCS championship no matter what happens in the SEC title game.
To make this even more bizarre, let’s say Arkansas beats LSU and moves up to No. 1, Alabama stays at No. 2 and LSU drops to No. 3. Then Alabama would STILL win the tiebreaker and play for the SEC championship with a chance to go to the BCS championship to play the Hogs in a rematch of the Tide's 38-14 thumping on September 24.
• If both Arkansas and LSU finish ahead of Alabama in the BCS standings as of next Sunday night, Arkansas would play in the SEC championship and No. 2 LSU would be all but assured of a spot in the BCS championship unless Oklahoma State makes a huge jump up after playing Oklahoma on December 3. Don’t expect this scenario to happen; the human pollsters aren’t going to drop Alabama lower than No. 2.
• If Arkansas doesn’t jump past LSU and Alabama and finishes third in the BCS standings (regardless of whom is higher in the BCS standings between the Tigers and Tide), LSU would play in the SEC championship. Don’t expect this to happen, either. Projected BCS No. 3 Arkansas would almost certainly move up with a win over LSU.
But LSU is probably going to beat Arkansas.

Get a hamburger flipping job
Ann Althouse has an extraordinary post on a Newt Gingrich speech. ... "You go out and talk to people, as I do, you go out and talk to
people who are really successful in one generation.... They all learned
how to make money at a very early age... What do we say to poor kids in
poor neighborhoods? Don't do it. Remember all that stuff about don't get
a hamburger flipping job? The worst possible advice you could give to
poor children. Get any job that teaches you to show up on Monday. Get
any job that teaches you to stay all day even if you are in a fight with
your girlfriend. The whole process of making work worthwhile is
central."
Absolutely correct. Some advice that you hear assumes that people are going to start out as CEOs. The way to get there is to work your way up. Failing schools are just holding kids back.
Here's more from Gingrich.

Getting old and older
AP: The rolls of America's oldest old are surging: Nearly 2 million now
are 90 or over, nearly triple their numbers of just three decades ago.
It's not all good news. They're more likely than the merely elderly to live in poverty and to have disabilities, creating a new challenge to already strained retiree income and health care programs.

Football is life itself
Margaret Wente: College football is America's true religion. This statement was prompted by the Penn State mess. Joe Paterno was fired. If you didn't notice, the school's president was also fired, but nobody rioted about that.
You can tell a lot about a civilization from its monuments. The Greeks built temples to the gods. The Romans constructed roads and aqueducts. The United States built railroads, skyscrapers, majestic post-office buildings and public libraries. Today, it builds temples of worship called football stadiums. This may not be the end of empire, but sometimes it feels that way.

Open your eyes and see
Shawn Hubler on the cult of Penn State. But the light came on, and he could at last see clearly. "I began to distance myself from football. I started hanging around with pre-med students, pot smokers, Young Republicans, kids who majored in economics, kids of other ethnicities, foreign kids."
Answer yes or no!
Ann Althouse has a good analysis of Newt Gingrich's answer to a question during the recent GOP debate. That question was: "As president of the United States, would you sign that death warrant for
an American citizen overseas who you believe is a terrorist suspect?"
It was a trick question, requiring a yes or not answer, but Gingrich didn't fall for it.

What's your name?
Should married women take the last name of their husband? You can read the pros and cons, but I think it is good when everyone in a household has the same name. If they don't, a question mark pops up. Most importantly, you have to be concerned about the name of the kids. I personally believe the practice of hyphenating names after marriage is unnecessarily complicated -- Mary Smith-Jones? Try to get an ID with that. On the other hand three names sounds good to me -- Sarah Jessica Parker or Lady Bird Johnson.
So I understand why some women don't want to change their name. I don't want to change mine either.

à la carte financial services
I found this article on Wal-Mart's push into banking interesting. Many people today are unhappy with their bank because of high fees. Wal-Mart has wanted to charter a bank for years, but these moves have been blocked by the banking industry. Now they have gone into à la carte financial services. This has an appeal to many unbanked people and those who just want to pay less for financial services. You can cash your pay check and load it on a cheap Wal-Mart debit card.
I use Wal-Mart as a bank myself, even though I am not unbanked, lol. When I want a small amount of walking-around cash I use my debit card at Wal-Mart rather than at an ATM. You have to buy something, if only a small purchase, but you're going to do that anyway.

Blaming the wrong people
Margaret Wente:
These people make up the Occupier generation. They aspire to join the virtueocracy – the class of people who expect to find self-fulfillment (and a comfortable living) in non-profit or government work, by saving the planet, rescuing the poor and regulating the rest of us. They are what the social critic Christopher Lasch called the “new class” of "therapeutic cops in the new bureaucracy."
The trouble is, this social model no longer works. As blogger Kenneth Anderson writes, “The machine by which universities train young people to become minor regulators and then delivered them into white-collar positions on the basis of credentials in history, political science, literature, ethnic and women’s studies – with or without the benefit of law school – has broken down. The supply is uninterrupted, but the demand has dried up.”
It’s not the greedy Wall Street bankers who destroyed these people’s hopes. It’s the virtueocracy itself. It’s the people who constructed a benefit-heavy entitlement system whose costs can no longer be sustained. It’s the politicians and union leaders who made reckless pension promises that are now bankrupting cities and states. It’s the socially progressive policy-makers in the U.S. who declared that everyone, even those with no visible means of support, should be able to own a home with no money down, courtesy of their government. In Canada, it’s the social progressives who assure us we can keep on consuming all the health care we want, even as the costs squeeze out other public goods.
The Occupiers are right when they say our system of wealth redistribution is broken. But they’re wrong about what broke it. The richest 1 per cent are not exactly starving out the working poor. (In the U.S., half all income sent to Washington is redistributed to the elderly, sick and disabled, or to those who serve them, and nearly half the country lives in a household that’s getting some sort of government benefit.) The problem is, our system redistributes the wealth from young to old, and from middle-class workers in the private sector to inefficient and expensive unions in the public sector.

The Nina and the Pinta
We went to see replicas of the Nina and Pinta today on the Arkansas River in Little Rock. The two ships were awesome. They were anchored together side-by-side. The Nina, which made three of Columbus' four voyages, was the smallest of the ships. The Pinta, under the command of Captain Martin Pinzon, sighted the new world first. She was the fastest of the small fleet. I understand the replica of the Pinta has her larger than the original ship. She was actually only a little larger than the Nina. The replica is supposed to be about the size of the original Santa Maria.
The crowd was large, the ships small and crowded. The day was overcast, but not cool. Click for larger image.

FORT TOTTEN, ND – Speaking at the tribal headquarters of the Spirit Lake Sioux Nation, attorney Reed Soderstrom announced a lawsuit against the NCAA alleging copyright infringement and civil rights violations. The Sioux tribe supports the University of North Dakota’s “Fighting Sioux” nickname and logo, but the NCAA has deemed them to be “hostile and abusive.”
“Today, the Spirit Lake Tribe of Indians, by and through its Committee of Understanding and Respect, and Archie Fool Bear, individually, and as Representative of more than 1004 Petitioners of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, filed a lawsuit against the National Collegiate Athletic Association in direct response to their attempt to take away and prevent the North Dakota Sioux Indians from giving their name forever to the University of North Dakota,” said Soderstrom in prepared remarks.
