Can you write or call the governor the same way people typically do with a rep? I mean, I know you CAN but is it worth a poo poo if I'm not rich or a big donor? Because gently caress Ron Desantis. The Rush Limbaugh flag poo poo has been the least of his turd trifecta this week which includes restricting mail in voting, removing drop off locations and setting up sweet Covid vaccination spots for his rich constituents. All while acting like the complete rear end in a top hat that republican voters seem to worship for some reason. He's angling for the front runner spot in 2014 at this rate. Any word on who might take over Limbaugh's time slot? He left a big fat void right there in the "brainwashing truck drivers" and "cubicle radio listener" demographic. I can't think of a new lunch time/afternoon fuckwad off the top of my head that's worthy of the golden microphone. I'm sure there will be a long list of applicants but Rush really TL/DR: gently caress Ron Desantis and gently caress Rush Limbaugh. I can't think of anyone else besides Hannity that illicits this level of response but Sean is almost cartoonish about his bullshit while Rush at least pretended to be clever and alluded to thinking outside the box. I guess just shove Sean into the noon time slot and promote some other shill into the evening drive until you land on a combination that works?

Rush was also really good at faking humility despite his "talent on loan from God" poo poo. There were a lot of times when he'd talk about how he wasn't sure if he should give his opinion on something because he just didn't know enough yet, or how he was worried he'd be misinterpreted if he said something. That was all bullshit of course but it sounded good and made it sound like he was actually a really deep thinker who cared about how he was perceived, rather than just the reality of "the RWM machine hasn't figured out how to spin this yet." It's a skill a lot of his replacements aren't able to emulate. I'm also wondering if part of the problem of replacing Rush is that a lot of people don't want to try. I can imagine people like Todd Herman or Ken Matthews aren't willing to take a risk replacing the biggest name in right wing radio when they've already got moderately comfortable gigs of their own. And of course B listers like Brett Winterble don't stand a chance.

Remember when Dinesh D'Souza was going to speak at CPAC, but then he made fun of the survivors of a school shooting? The best part was someone tweeted at CPAC saying "Yo maybe you shouldn't let this guy speak at your conference," and instead of going "Oh wow yeah that's hosed up, we'll remove him" CPAC's response was to say that Dinesh was never scheduled to speak at CPAC and claims he were were fake news, and that the reason that his picture was on the speakers list was it was an archived version of the page.

gots me a random question for years i've heard off and on about conservatives complaining that affirmative action leads to black people getting into top tier schools like harvard and such, but because they're woefully unqualified, this leads them to dropping out in large numbers, as opposed to going to schools that would be more suitable for their qualifications (apparently it's called 'mismatch theory'). but here's the thing. the problem i have with this, is that it seems to imply black people are being forced to apply to these top tier schools against their wishes. i don't think most people would apply to somewhere like yale or stanford just for kicks. presumably they did so cause they felt they were worthy enough to do so. for argument's sake, maybe some of these people would do better at a less demanding school like UCLA or berkeley or whatever, but what does any of this have anything to do with AA? to be generous, you could argue that AA leads to taking in less qualified students, but i don't see how it would effect the composition of students in top tier schools vs. lower tier schools.

The other flaw in that argument is that, once a student is admitted, systemic racism can still gently caress them over in other ways if it's not addressed. It's meant to be taken on faith that any time a Black student doesn't perform well, it's because they're underqualified or underprepared, but that's not the case.

Over 1/3 of students admitted to Harvard are Legacy. Meaning they only got in because of their family. I don't see anyone talking about their qualifications or how maybe they would be a better fit at a school that's more suited for them.

I was going to point out that affirmative action already exists for rich white people and their dumb kids and has for centuries. This is true for schools as well as the work place. I've worked in several small companies where the "sales manager" or "production manager" offered nothing more than being the child or relative of the owner.

Yeah a stupid amount of students are legacies. Jared Kushner’s dad bribed Harvard to get him in and despite not having the scholastic accomplishment in high school to get in on his own he didn’t fail out.

I don't see anyone talking about their qualifications or how maybe they would be a better fit at a school that's more suited for them. The bolded part is not true. It IS true that "legacy" admissions (one or both parents are alumni) are a form of preference or affirmative action for alumni children in that they have a huge advantage getting in over other students with similar grades, activities etc. But it doesn't mean that many of those students wouldn't have gotten in without the legacy advantage, and it doesn't mean that a legacy applicant can have a D average and terrible scores and still get in. It is a huge advantage though. I went to an Ivy League college (not a legacy applicant) and toured the admissions department while I was a student there, and was told that the advantage was having about twice the odds of getting in over a student with similar stats. This was decades ago so I don't know what the current situation is. I don't know how this compares to the advantage of getting in as an underrepresented minority. The reason for "legacy" preference is alumni fundraising pure and simple. If the alumni parent gives to the school they boost the "legacy" advantage even more, no doubt. And I'm sure that the amounts matter as well. If multiple generations of the family attend that school then the likelihood is even greater that multiple generations will give money to the school. Right wingers definitely don't seem to have an issue with this type of affirmative action especially since it usually benefits white people.

For some reason, it's hard to find stats on how likely legacy admissions are to drop out, but the only things I can find are suggesting that legacies (and athletic admissions) drop out at higher rates too, and that's with the builtin advantage of legacy students having parents with some idea of what to expect. It's just treated as an acceptable risk for the shot at a prestigious degree, or maybe more importantly, access to the connections and internships. Mr Interweb posted:yeah i get that. wasn't really trying to imply the Ivies are necessarily harder, but that's the argument these guys make https://www.cnn.com/2015/12/13/opinions/mcwhorter-antonin-scalia-affirmative-action quote:At the University of California, San Diego the year before racial preferences were banned in the late ‘90s, exactly one black student out of 3,268 freshmen made honors. A few years later after students who once would have been “mismatched” to flagship schools UC Berkeley were now admitted to schools such as UC San Diego, one in five black freshmen were making honors, the same proportion as white ones.

He later commented that his undergrad degree was twice as difficult to complete. The grade inflation thing alone is absolutely nuts.
