“If I forget thee, O Jerusalem…” The European has forgotten what it means to live in a Christian culture. It means loving one’s kith and kin above all others, which means that we should keep the barbarians at bay and out of our homes. I live in an area of the United States that is still predominantly white, but virtual... |
And it is always the Man of Sorrows who is brought in to justify race-mixing and Negro worship. Blasphemy! The antique European believed that salvation came from a belief in Jesus Christ, not by virtue of our belief in the sacred Negro. There is nothing remotely connected to genuine Christian love in the liberals’ and ... |
The liberal and the halfway-house Christian who rides with the liberal on his burn-and-pillage raids against the European people present their “love” of the Negro as the fulfillment of Christ’s injunction to “love thy neighbor as thyself.” Nothing could be further from the truth. In the first place, genuine love of thy... |
The true God can only be reached through the human heart. Without depth of feeling, we can’t know God, which is why only a counter-revolutionary of the spirit can know God in our modern satanic world. The counter-revolutionary must stay in the depths and not allow himself to be overwhelmed by the narrow superficiality ... |
In Ben Jonson’s profound tribute to Shakespeare he tells us that Shakespeare has surpassed even the great Greek and Roman dramatists: |
And though thou hadst small Latine, and lesse Greeke, |
From thence to honour thee, I would not seeke |
For names; but call forth thund'ring Æschilus, |
Euripides, and Sophocles to us, |
Paccuvius, Accius, him of Cordova dead, |
To life againe, to heare thy Buskin tread, |
Leave thee alone, for the comparison |
Of all, that insolent Greece, or haughtie Rome |
Sent forth, or since did from their ashes come. |
Triumph, my Britaine, thou hast one to showe, |
To whom all scenes of Europe homage owe. |
He was not of an age, but for all time! |
Of course Jonson is right. There is greater depth, more humanity in Shakespeare’s plays than in the Greeks’ and Romans’ works. And how could it be otherwise? The living God had entered human history and revealed to mankind that God lived in the depths of the human heart. Just as the pagan Greco-Roman shame-culture gave... |
(1) Northern Katanga was also the territory of a renowned English Missionary, Edmund Hodgson of the Congo Evangelistic Mission, who had been in the Congo for forty years before he was murdered by the Baluba. He was a surgeon, builder and teacher. He founded 157 churches in the Congo, roofing many of them himself. His p... |
In 1952 Hodgson’s wife died; and he toiled on alone, taking his leave every five years but still having to work to make ends meet. But, following Independence, he saw his life’s work literally going up in flames. He wrote: “This last six months has seen the bottom drop out of this fast-created world. Now there is no Be... |
Shortly after Hodgson wrote this report he visited the ‘parish’ of the New Zealander, Elton Knauf. He was at something of a loose end now, as his churches had been burned down and he had been forced to leave his own parish by the tribesmen he had spent his whole life slaving for. He and Knauf went on a mercy mission, t... |

The strangeness of "Condition" |
"Sound stamp?" That's a matter of opinion... |
This morning, I have been spending some time on the Internet, looking at stamps for sale in the APS "Stampstore" online. |
I find people's interpretation of a stamp's condition rather astonishing, sometimes. |
How can a stamp be "fault free," when the scan clearly shows a corner is missing? |
How can an 1872 stamp from Sweden have a "natural straight edge," when it is a global fact that all Swedish stamps issues prior to 1920 were perforated on all four sides-- without fail? |
This confuses me, a bit. It also offends me a little, because there seems to be a hidden implication that I am "too ignorant to know any different." |
Maybe what also bothers me about it is that it seems like a "hit and hope" approach-- sellers do not necessarily lie about something, but "describe" it, and then hope that the next sucker won't notice that something is wrong. I grant you, not everyone can be an expert on the stamps of every country... but if I were to ... |
The other thing that makes me scratch my head is sellers who think someone is going to pay 75% of catalogue value for a stamp that's little more than a space filler. What? WHAT? |
I'm really not curmudgeonly, by nature! |

Garwan is a spry, sandy blonde gnome who owns a curiosity shop in the town of Loudwater. He is happy to let customers browse while he sits at the counter puffing on a prodigious pipe. If asked about a particular item, he remains where he is and points it out from among the clutter. If he doesn’t have the item, he shake... |
A sign bearing the image of a unicorn horn, an hourglass, and the words “Garwan’s Curiosities” hangs at the front of this store across from the Green Tankard in Loudwater. Windows provide a view of bizarre items, including a shrunken head, candy wrapped in colorful leaves, playing cards, smoking accessories, fancifully... |
Locals visit Garwan’s to find interesting gifts or to sell off junk in which Garwan sees value. Strange items lie tucked away in the dusty nooks of this shop, though few pieces are of any real value. However, sometimes rare items pass through Garwan’s, and a lucky customer comes away with a valuable treasure. Thus, a s... |
Garwan has a son named Zark. Sometimes Zark hangs around his uncle’s shop, but the young gnome rarely does any work. |
If you’re looking for something outlandish, Garwan’s is the best place to find it. If the item is not particularly rare or valuable, the character should find it for sale at a reasonable price. |

This is what I am calling my current strange mix of Turkish, English and copious amounts of pantomime. As I stated previously, in this country you must learn the language if you are to survive well and be independent, but I am not quite there yet. I've been here for just over 2 weeks and I can read most things (even if... |
The other day, I needed to purchase a power adapter from 220-110 volt so a few of the rechargeable items I brought with me could be charged. I had no idea how to ask for what I needed so I texted my lovely friend Merve (Mar-vey is more how it is pronounced) for the word for power converter. She dutifully sent me a text... |
Yesterday (Friday here) was delivery day for bottled water in our building. I was told to put out my empty (just emptied on Thursday night, how's that for timing?!?!) with about 5 TL on Friday morning and a new one and any change would be in it's place by the time I got home from school. So I followed directions and wa... |
So the lesson in all of this for the international person is work hard to learn the language but don't be afraid to take risks and try with your limited abilities...people will help you and appreciate your efforts. |

An obscure radio talker called Pat LaMarche thinks that ought to be the tag line for universal Medicare. Her reasoning: California's proposed statewide single payer bill costs out as less than her estimate of the current cost to Californians under the muddle that existed long before the misnamed Patient Protection an... |
But if you want to live longer and pay less, mightn't the proper policy response be to bring in more trade-tested betterments? Start, as Edward "Captain Ed" Morrissey suggests, by recognizing that "commodification" is not a nasty word, it's simply reality. |
Health care consists of goods and services produced and delivered by highly specialized providers in exchange for monetary compensation. Overall, it’s a commodity, for which the terms “right” and “privilege” are largely meaningless. In an economic sense, health care is no different than markets for other commodities, s... |
Progressives insist that health care is so critical to existence that it must be considered a right, and that government has to guarantee access to it regardless of the ability to pay for it. That, however, doesn’t make it a right, nor is health care the only commodity for which that argument applies. For instance, wat... |
Yes, and "guaranteed access" becomes a license to rent-seek and avoid price discovery until the government runs out of other people's money. Puerto Rico is Greece is Venezuela is Zimbabwe. Those public water authorities? How in the name of Donald Trump did they let the bottled water people poach their business, even... |
Never mind that the Jacobin folks want to double down on becoming Venezuela. |
Yes, and how correct were those complaints with respect to the two-lies-for-the-price-of-one Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act? |
Perhaps the best thing for the government to do is to back off. Consider this recent American Interest column. |
Whether insurance is bought by private individuals or paid for by the government, healthcare simply costs too much. In the short run, we can argue about exactly how much insurance should be subsidized; in the long-run, the only way out of this trap is to find sustainable ways to bring down the price of delivery, whethe... |
We'll know improvements are on the way when the conversation turns away from the current focus on insurance and liability, and begins to treat the practitioners and the producers of medicines and medical tools as entrepreneurs and innovators rather than as cost curves to be bent down or as devices to be taxed. |
We'll know improvements are on the way when the conversation goes beyond argumentum ad misericordiam. "You May Like Obamacare, But Don’t Forget About The People It Has Hurt," and the stories of people who benefit from their subsidized insurance, don't get to the main challenge, which is ... expanding the set of import... |
A Heat Street essay that might take some stick for appearing to minimize the importance of insurance coverage in fact gets at the heart of the matter. |
Health insurance just isn’t a top priority for healthy individuals and families. |
Democrats can argue the point day after day that it should be, but this isn’t a priority that is aligned with many day to day voters. What people care about is not having the $700 to fix their car or house, or take a vacation or improve the quality of day to day life for their family, that they are simply pissing away ... |
Civilization advances by increasing the set of important operations and all that ... Moreover, when we contemplate trade-tested betterments, the benefit to consumers is part of the testing of the betterments. Compelling healthy people to buy a crappy insurance policy looks too much like adding complexity for little g... |
Thus, as Reason's Peter Suderman puts it, "[I]mproved affordability and accessibility is an outcome, not a system." Consider consumer electronics, or motor vehicles, or, for that matter, designer bottled water at north of two bucks a bottle. Start, perhaps, with this Market Ticker manifesto. It's long. Score it your... |
This bill will make customer choice not just a function of price but also of outcomes. Today there is no accurate way for a person seeking a procedure to compare the success rate between various providers of a given procedure. This must be fixed immediately if we are to have true competition as some doctors are outstan... |
The bill will also destroy PBMs and the outrageous extraction of funds they commit by forcing price transparency and decoupling price from "insurance." You will be able to call or go online to look up drug prices from any pharmacy and they will in turn have to honor the same price for all retail buyers. Competition wil... |
There's still the challenge of inferring the ability of the practitioner from the fee, as there's a lot of asymmetric information in medicine, on both sides of the transaction. And yet, the current hodge-podge of insurance networks and recognized providers and the rest provides patients with precious little in the way... |

Lawyer will seek to block Patriots payments to Hernandez on Wednesday |
34 responses to “Lawyer will seek to block Patriots payments to Hernandez on Wednesday |
1. as keith jackson used to say, “whoa, nelly”. |
if the pats did fight to keep the money from hernandez, that doesn’t preclude them making it available to the victims. it sounds like a robert kraft move, actually…. |
2. That last sentence is a bit too subjective to me. Lawyers will get their hands on it and only a fraction will actually go to the victims. Also, you’d think the issue of whether the Patriots owe him that money would be pretty clear from looking at his contract so I don’t know that it is fair to try to guilt the Pat... |
Why should the Patriots pay for Hernandez’s actions? Assuming the plaintiffs prevail, they can go after Hernandez’s assets. |
It is a cheap shot to say the Patriots are trying to keep money from the families. |
4. I think it is a little disengenuous to make the leap that the Pats witholding from Hernandez means they are consciously witholding from the the victims. That sounds like a Pelosi or Reid type of statement. |
Your argument is basically saying the Pats owe Hernandez and they should pay him, allowing him to blow the money on legal fees, leaving empty coffers for the victims. I am in favor of what ever means necessary to keep the money from AH until all of the legal stuff has been cleared up. At that point, if the courts r... |
5. It’s a real shame how the new england patriots put the community at risk when they hired this murderer. |
A dirty shame. |
6. Patriots have handled a very bad situation very well. ..say what you want about them , Kraft and BB…..Most franchises would be rocked to the core …Kudos to them… |
7. You would have skewered Kraft and the Patriots over a million ways to Sunday if they had chosen to keep Hernandez on their roster until the deadline passed, solely for financial reasons. |
Since the organization did the right thing and cut an alleged serial murderer from the team immediately after his arrest, now you’re accusing them of trying to hold onto their money. Admit it, you just enjoy skewering them since they were damned if they didn’t cut him and still damned for cutting him early a year l... |
As a lawyer, you know the legalese of either avenue, but you choose to make it all about hoarding money and ‘keeping it from the victims’. Hernandez has already lost lawyers because he’s running out of money. There won’t be much left for the victims at all – even with his bonus or salary being paid by the Krafts. |
8. I don’t understand, I thought every professional sports team had a “conduct” clause simply stating that if the athlete (in this case of course Aaron Hernandez) were subject to negative let alone heinous actions (detrimental conduct) that their contract could be null and void. So why would the Patriots have to pay ... |
9. This is basically one school of pirhanas complaining that a different bunch will devour everything first. |
Like it or not, the money is due AH and he is likely to spend it fighting criminal charges. |
10. I can’t believe that haven’t found some sort of loophole to not pay that jackass anything. If they have to pay him the money then it should be paid to the victims families after what he’s done (allegedly wink wink). |
11. Patriots need to pay up regardless. Hernandez is a bad dude, but they signed a legally binding contract. The legal system needs to play out and this will result in Hernandez receiving life in prison and a giant judgment against him for wrongful death with his assets going to the victims. |
12. The Patriots definitely handled this well — the media was setting it up to dog them all season and possibly cause permanent damage to the franchise. Instead Belichick and Kraft cut ties with the guy as soon as news broke, and then the Dolphins melted down instead. |
13. @sterling7 They cut him too fast for the “conduct unbecoming” rule. |
Assume that [your favorite good guy player] is accused by a pack of fame chasing lying fans of [his rival team]. If the team cuts him b/c of the accusation, not b/c of facts, the team is on the hook. |
The money being stalled will end up in yet another court b/c the victims (and their laywers) will have to fight his lawyers on who gets first dibs. |
