Open Culture - What is "Philosophy"? Yes, we know, the word comes from the Greek philosophia, which means "the love of wisdom." This rote etymological definition does little, I think, to enhance our understanding of the subject, though it may describe the motivation of many a student. Like certain diseases, maybe philosophy is a spectrum, a collection of loosely related behaviors. Maybe a better question would be, "what are all the symptoms of this thing we call philosophy?" The medical metaphor is timely. We live in an age when the discipline of philosophy, like many of the humanities, gets treated like a pathology, in universities and in the wider culture. See, for example, popular articles on whether science has rendered philosophy (and religion) obsolete. There seems to be an underlying assumption in our society that philosophy is something to be eradicated, like smallpox.

Seven Swans a Swimmin', and You'll Be a Crusin'



Nationalreview.com

Dear Friend,

On the seventh day of Christmas, the best thing you could give (or maybe receive!) is a reservation for a wonderful cabin on the National Review 2015 Alaska Summer Cruise

I'm happy to announce that our all-star lineup of phenomenal conservative speakers for this forthcoming voyage has grown over the last week -- former New Hampshire Governor and Bush 41 Chief of Staff John Sununu will be with us, as will National Review Executive Editor and policy guru supreme Reihan Salam and NR Deputy Managing Editor Katherine Connell.  

They join a sterling cast which includes supply-side champion Arthur Laffer, ace economists Stephen Moore and Kevin Hassett, former congresswoman Michele Bachmann, pollster Pat Caddell, National Affairs editor Yuval Levin, Townhall.com editor Katie Pavlich, top social commentators Naomi Schaefer Riley, James Lileks, and Andrew Klavan, military/security experts Pete Hegseth and John Hillen, leading conservative academic Daniel Mahoney, and from NR's editorial All Stars Jonah Goldberg, Rich Lowry, Jay Nordlinger, Ramesh Ponnuru, Kevin Williamson, Eliana Johnson, Jim Geraghty, Kathryn Lopez, Charles Cooke, John Miller, Patrick Brennan, Jillian Melchior, Andrew Johnson, and Joel Gehrke

Really, an Alaska cruise, and particularly an NR Alaska Cruise, can be (and will be!) the experience of a lifetime. That's why it has the makings of an off-the-charts, super-de-duper Christmas gift.  Wouldn't you want to get that in your stocking? 

What does the gift entail? It's a phenomenal voyage of 7 nights (July 18-25), visiting the wonderful ports of Seattle, Ketchikan, Sitka, Juneau, and Victoria, B.C.,  all aboard Holland America Line's luxurious Westerdam, with that delightful experience super-sized by National Review's exclusive program of eight hot-topic policy sessions, two rib-tickling night owls, three revelrous receptions, one delightful late-night smoker featuring H. Upmann world class cigars (and complimentary cognac), and intimate dining on at least two nights with our guest speakers and editors. 

Now that's a thoughtful -- heck, beyond thoughtful -- present. So, why not get it, for yourself or for that true love, and make Christmas 2014 memorable (I know, we're stretchin' it here)?  

Making a reservation couldn't be simpler. Go to www.nrcruise.com and securely reserve your cabin (there's one for every taste and every budget -- all-inclusive prices start as low as $2,299 per person). Or call the good people at The Cruise Authority (9-5 eastern time, Monday-Friday) at 800-707-1634 -- they can also answer any questions you might have.

Cruise? Or a partridge in a pear tree? Or seven swans? The choice is obvious.

See you in Alaska next July.

Kim Jung Un and Barack Obama

Kim Jung Un


http://www.cartoonmovement.com/depot/cartoons/2013/03/KyYFMKGGQBOUyOtV9YUx8Q.jpeg


Kim Jung Un had NO military experience whatsoever before

Daddy made him a four-star general.


This snot-nosed twerp had never accomplished anything

in his life that would even come close to military leadership.


He hadn't even so much as led a Cub Scout troop,

coached a sports team, or commanded a military platoon.


So he is made the "Beloved Leader" Of North Korea.


Terrific!!!

Oh crap!

I'm sorry.

 


I just remembered that we did the same thing.

 

Barack Obama

 

 

We took an arrogant phony community organizer, who had never

worn a uniform, and made him Commander-in-Chief.


A guy, who had never had a real job, worked on a budget, or led anything

more than an ACORN demonstration, and we made him "Beloved Leader" of the United States.

TWICE !!!
 

I'm sorry I brought this up . .. . Never mind.

Tennessee Department of Health, urges increased vigilance to prevent flu and flu complications

> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
> DECEMBER 30, 2014

> TDH URGES INCREASED VIGILANCE
> TO PREVENT FLU AND FLU COMPLICATIONS
>
> NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Department of Health is urging all Tennesseans to increase their efforts to prevent flu and flu-related health threats by getting immunized and talking with their healthcare providers about flu-like symptoms. Since 2007 there have been 29 pediatric flu-related deaths recorded in Tennessee, including three in December of this year.
> That is the highest number of pediatric flu deaths in the month of December since current reporting began in 2007. Prior to 2007 pediatric influenza deaths were not specifically required to be reported.
>
> "Our heartfelt thoughts and condolences go out to the families and friends affected by these tragic deaths and we are deeply sorry for the loss of each of these children," said TDH Commissioner John Dreyzehner, MD, MPH. Regrettably there is no perfect protection against influenza, and some people are more vulnerable than others so we continue to urge everyone more than six months of age to be vaccinated, to provide the best available protection to the people we love, our communities and ourselves. We also urge individuals with flu-like symptoms to rapidly consult their healthcare providers about the advisability of beginning antiviral medications."
>
> Those with flu-like symptoms should ask about the use of anti-viral medications such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) or zanamivir (Relenza®). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, clinical benefits are greatest when antiviral treatment is administered early, ideally within 48 hours of symptoms starting. These antivirals may decrease the severity of flu but are not always advisable for every patient. The CDC also advises treatment with antivirals is recommended as soon as possible without waiting for confirmatory testing for those patients with confirmed or suspected influenza who have severe, complicated or progressive illness.
>
> "It's important to contact your healthcare provider so appropriate treatment can begin quickly," said State Epidemiologist Tim Jones, MD. "While common colds and the flu may have similar symptoms, including muscle pain, fever, sore throat, coughing and overall weakness, the onset of flu usually happens more quickly and the symptoms are often more severe. Your healthcare provider can evaluate you and advise if anti-viral medications are appropriate.
>
> In some cases, he or she may provide antivirals before flu confirmation tests are complete, as a precautionary measure."
>
> Currently in Tennessee influenza-like illness activity is above CDC epidemic thresholds and by using the Tennessee sentinel provider network the TDH has detected confirmed cases of influenza in 44 of 95 counties. Flu activity most commonly peaks in the U.S. between December and February, but seasonal flu can continue to occur as late as May. Flu will still be a threat for many months and for that reason, those who have not received flu vaccine by injection or nasal spray should do so quickly to have increased protection for the remainder of the 2014-2015 flu season.
>
> Even in years, like this one, when other strains not present in vaccine are circulating, flu vaccine is still the best protection available. Other key protective measures include hand washing, avoidance of touching your face, covering a cough or sneeze and staying home if you are sick to avoid exposing others.
>
> For additional information about the 2014-2015 flu season, visit the CDC website at: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/index.htm
>
> The mission of the Tennessee Department of Health is to protect, promote and improve the health and prosperity of people in Tennessee. TDH has facilities in all 95 counties and provides direct services for more than one in five Tennesseans annually as well as indirect services for everyone in the state, including emergency response to health threats, licensure of health professionals, regulation of health care facilities and inspection of food service establishments.

What a year for conservatives

The Heritage Foundation

Dear John,

There are many reasons your support for conservative leadership is critical. Let's take a look at what has been accomplished for the conservative cause this year:

  • Conservative arguments prevailed on election day, showing real momentum for your ideas nationally and at the state level;
  • Obamacare is going back to the Supreme Court to be reviewed;
  • Lawmakers promised to fight back against President Obama’s lawless amnesty;
  • More states backed out of the harmful and costly Common Core standards;
  • The U.S. rejected participation in two dangerous U.N. treaties; and
  • Energy freedom advanced, with both nuclear power and domestic oil production seeing gains.

These victories -- many of which The Heritage Foundation played a role in -- would not be possible without the generosity and support of conservatives like you. Your support for Heritage, America’s leading conservative policy organization, is critical to future victories.

>> Make your year-end donation to Heritage today. And thanks to a generous member, your gift to Heritage by midnight on December 31 is worth double!

Thank you for being a part of the conservative cause. 

Sincerely,
Jim
Jim DeMint
President

P.S. If you donate by midnight tomorrow, your gift will be worth double to Heritage and the conservative cause

One Last Scandal for 2014

Who's having the worse week, Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh or House majority whip Steve Scalise?

Scalise:

House majority whip Steve Scalise (R., La.) spoke to an event hosted by a white-nationalist group when he was a state legislator in 2002, according to multiple reports.

Scalise's office has confirmed that he took part in the event organized by the European-American Unity and Rights Organization (EURO), a group founded by former Ku Klux Klan leader and Louisiana politician David Duke, and says his limited staff at the time had not properly vetted the event. He attended the event while campaigning against a state budget measure.

"Throughout his career in public service, Mr. Scalise has spoken to hundreds of different groups with a broad range of viewpoints," Scalise spokeswoman Moira Bagley told the Washington Post. She explained that he attended the event while campaigning against a state ballot initiative.

"He has never been affiliated with the abhorrent group in question," Bagley continued. "The hate-fueled ignorance and intolerance that group projects is in stark contradiction to what Mr. Scalise believes and practices as a father, a husband, and a devoted Catholic."

 

 
 
 

Congressman, the group is called the European-American Unity and Rights Organization. What, did you mistake them for -- NATO? Were they strangely unresponsive to remarks about trade policy and currency exchanges?

Moronic as Scalise's decision might have been, he did make it twelve years ago. If there was any indication the guy had any white-supremacist instincts, one would think they would have surfaced in the following decade. Maybe Scalise really did have no idea of the group's agenda or hateful perspectives.

The Washington Post quotes a bunch of Democrats making typically opportunistic comments about the revelation. You can't really blame them; if we learned a high-ranking Democratic official had addressed a hate group, Republicans and voices on the right would be calling attention to that.

But the Democrats shouldn't be too loud in their denunciation, in light of other figures they've forgiven . . .

In the early 1940s, a politically ambitious butcher from West Virginia named Bob Byrd recruited 150 of his friends and associates to form a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. After Byrd had collected the $10 joining fee and $3 charge for a robe and hood from every applicant, the "Grand Dragon" for the mid-Atlantic states came down to tiny Crab Orchard, W.Va., to officially organize the chapter . . .

Byrd wrote that he continued as a "Kleagle" recruiting for the Klan until early 1943, when he and his family left Crab Orchard for a welding job in a Baltimore shipyard. Returning to West Virginia after World War II ended in 1945, he launched his political career, but not before writing another letter, to one of the Senate's most notorious segregationists, Theodore Bilbo (D-Miss.), complaining about the Truman administration's efforts to integrate the military.

Byrd said in the Dec. 11, 1945, letter -- which would not become public for 42 more years with the publication of a book on blacks in the military during World War II by author Graham Smith -- that he would never fight in the armed forces "with a Negro by my side." Byrd added that, "Rather I should die a thousand times, and see old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels."

If you can forgive all that -- as just about everyone in Congress did -- then I think you have to give Scalise the benefit of the doubt.

Meanwhile, Suh is saying all he did was accidentally step on a guy.

On Monday, the NFL suspended Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh for doing something stupid once again. And it might just be the last thing he does as a Lion.

He was suspended for one game because he performed an idiotic two-step on Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Sunday's 30-20 loss at Lambeau Field. Unless the suspension is reversed on appeal, the Lions will play the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs Sunday without their best defensive player, and there's a chance that he will never wear a Detroit uniform again.

Suh didn't seriously injure Rodgers with his missteps. Instead, Suh ended up hurting his own team, which is trying to win its first playoff game since the 1991 season.

Life ain't easy for a boy named Suh.

Maybe That Hack Wasn't Nork-estrated After All

Hey, remember all of the outrage over North Korea's hack attack on Sony?

What if it wasn't really the North Koreans?

FBI agents investigating the Sony Pictures hack were briefed Monday by a security firm that says its research points to laid-off Sony staff, not North Korea, as the perpetrator — another example of the continuing whodunit blame game around the devastating attack.

Even the unprecedented decision to release details of an ongoing FBI investigation and President Barack Obama publicly blaming the hermit authoritarian regime hasn't quieted a chorus of well-qualified skeptics who say the evidence just doesn't add up.

Researchers from the cyber intelligence company Norse have said their own investigation into the data on the Sony attack doesn't point to North Korea at all and instead indicates some combination of a disgruntled employee and hackers for piracy groups is at fault.

The FBI says it is standing by its conclusions, but the security community says they've been open and receptive to help from the private sector throughout the Sony investigation.

The FBI said Monday it is standing behind its assessment, adding that evidence doesn't support any other explanations.

"The FBI has concluded the Government of North Korea is responsible for the theft and destruction of data on the network of Sony Pictures Entertainment. Attribution to North Korea is based on intelligence from the FBI, the U.S. intelligence community, DHS, foreign partners and the private sector," a spokeswoman said in a statement. "There is no credible information to indicate that any other individual is responsible for this cyber incident."

Boy, if it turns out to be a disgruntled former Sony employee, that's an epic embarrassment for the administration, huh? President Obama didn't leave any wiggle room in his statements about the hack:

President Obama said on Friday that the United States "will respond proportionally" against North Korea for its destructive cyberattacks on Sony Pictures, but he criticized the Hollywood studio for giving in to intimidation when it withdrew "The Interview," the satirical movie that provoked the attacks, before it opened.

"I think it says something about North Korea that they decided to have the state mount an all-out assault on a movie studio because of a satirical movie," he said, smiling briefly at the ridiculousness of an international confrontation set off by a Hollywood comedy.

A bit ironic, considering the president's entire political career is based upon blaming a president for rushing into a decision to take action against a hostile dictator based upon bad intelligence.

Stay In This New Year's Eve!

As discussed in last night's live podcast with Mickey White, New Year's Eve is a vastly overrated holiday -- at least when it comes to going out . . .

New Year's Eve has turned into the Marvel movie post-credits scene of holidays. Even when it's good, which isn't nearly often enough, it's a tacked-on afterthought, an inevitable let down compared to what happened earlier.

We literally had Christmas less than a week ago -- probably the biggest holiday of the year, with relatives coming and going, present-purchases for everyone, at least one and maybe two big special meals, special masses, special concerts, decorations everywhere, television specials, parties . . . and then, just six days later, "Oh, hey, here's one more party to go to."

God help you if you go out, because restaurants and bars turn into hideous versions of themselves on New Year's Eve. Suddenly you need a reservation for your favorite hangout. The place is crowded and the service is usually terrible. For some reason, a lot of establishments think providing one glass of champagne in a plastic flute at 11:45 justifies a $100-per-head charge for the night. The fixed price menu is usually whatever they can make in large quantities and is often ludicrously overpriced. A chef is rarely going to bring his A-game to the New Year's Eve crowd.

My worst experience came a few years out of college, in Georgetown in Washington, D.C. My friends, future wife, and I spent probably 75 bucks a head for the 10 p.m. seating at a nice restaurant. The plan was to eat for an hour, hour and a half and then be ready for the ball to drop. The problem was the 8 p.m. seating customers tried to beat the system by refusing to leave. The waiters had a hard time shooing them out, and by the time we were seated, we were told we had fifteen minutes to eat before they had to clear the tables to create a dance floor. It was the biggest rip-off ever.

ADDENDA: Scratch one of 2014's most surprising political winners early: "Rep. Michael Grimm (R-N.Y.) announced late Monday that he will resign from Congress, effective next week. The Staten Island congressman pleaded guilty on Tuesday of last week to a federal tax evasion charge in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn."

Get ready for a controversial special election:

Daniel Donovan, the Staten Island district attorney who most recently failed to secure an indictment in the Eric Garner case, is lining up support behind-the-scenes for a bid to replace Mr. Grimm. And Mr. Donovan, well-liked by the borough's Republican machine, is a front-runner to win the backing of the Staten Island Republican party in a special election that will likely be held sometime next year, sources say . . .

A special election to replace Mr. Grimm will mean no Democratic or Republican primaries. Instead, the Staten Island Republican and Democratic organizations will each select a candidate to face-off after Gov. Andrew Cuomo selects a date for the election.

Obama threatens to wield veto pen to counter GOP-led Congress

Fox News - The new Congress hasn't yet been sworn in, but President Obama already is warning he plans to use his veto pen to counter initiatives from the incoming Republican majority.

Obama, despite his near-constant friction with congressional Republicans the last few years, rarely has used the presidential veto -- in part because legislation he didn't like typically died in the Democrat-controlled Senate before reaching his desk.
