Food Summit: Steps Toward a Safer Food System
Amanda Fiegl
Braised pot roast Wikimedia Commons
Yesterday, I attended the first-ever Atlantic Food Summit, a series of panel discussions convened by the Atlantic magazine and hosted by the Newseum in D.C. Those of you who follow me on Twitter already heard some tidbits, but here's a more complete summary.
There were three main themes, each with its own set of panelists: Food safety, food security/hunger, and "the way we eat" (consumer behavior; nutrition and obesity issues). That's too much for one blog post, obviously, so I'll take one at a time.
As I've written before, food safety is a complicated issue, but not necessarily a controversial one—everyone wants it. Consumers don't want pathogens in their food; and neither do the farmers, corporations, retailers and restaurants that grow and sell that food. Yet there are some 76 million cases of food-related illness in the United States each year, racking up, according to one recent study, an estimated $152 billion in health-care costs, and killing at least 5,000 people. Outbreaks of food poisoning hit the headlines so often that in our online poll last October, nearly 90 percent of you said you worry about food safety.
Is there any good news?
Well, according to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg, "big change is possible" right now, as consumers and industry have begun to agree on reforms, and the Obama administration has made the issue a priority. She hopes to soon see the first significant update to the country's food safety laws since the 1930s. The Food Safety Enhancement Act was passed by the House last summer, and a similar bill is now on the Senate's plate, though it seems to have been pushed aside by the health care reform debate.
Among other things, this legislation would give the FDA the power to order mandatory recalls of contaminated products—a power that many people assume the agency already has, when in fact the agency can only request that companies issue such recalls voluntarily.
And then, of course, there's the issue of funding. Monitoring and enforcing safety has become increasingly expensive as the food system has grown more globalized, and government inspectors can't afford to be everywhere at once. Hamburg was blunt about this, ending her optimistic speech with a caveat: "In order to do this, we will need adequate resources. And it's a sad truth that over the years, we have not had those."
The money problem could be eased in part by a provision in the new legislation allowing the FDA to charge a $500 annual registration fee to each food facility under its purview. As the Atlantic's Sara Rubin noted in her own summary of the event, that pill isn't too difficult to swallow for most corporations, but it could cause very small businesses to choke.
Hamburg also emphasized the idea of a "farm to table" approach to preventing food-related illness, holding everyone from the grower to the consumer accountable: "Everyone who touches food shares responsibility for its safety," she said.
As if on cue, this morning's newspaper added another loud note to the chorus of evidence that this problem is not going away on its own: salmonella in a ubiquitous flavor-enhancing product prompted what is expected to be one of the biggest food recalls in the nation's history.

Presidential election: 22 applicants to candidacy file papers
ALGIERS-Twenty-two (22) candidates for the next 12 December presidential election submitted their applications to the National Independent Authority for Elections (ANIE).
The deadline to submit candidacy applications for the presidential election ended on Saturday 26 October 2019 at midnight, in accordance with Article 140 of the organic law on elections and the presidential decree convening the electorate.
Candidate of the National Democratic Rally (RND), Azzedine Mihoubi was the first to confirm his participation in this presidential election.
Mihoubi, who submitted his candidacy application on last Wednesday, said he "will present an ambitious and implementable programme to address citizens' concerns."
He was followed by President of El Bina movement, Abdelkader Bengrina, who submitted his candidacy application on Thursday.
"The next presidential election is a step towards meeting the Algerian people's expectations and achieving the change sought by the popular movement (Hirak)," said Bengrina.
Chairman of the Algerian Rally (RA), Ali Zeghdoud preferred to wait for the last day to submit his application, as did former Premiers Abdelmadjid Tebboune and Ali Benflis.
According to Abdelmadjid Tebboune, the presidential election is a "new beginning" and the unique solution likely to enshrine the sovereignty of the people provided for in Articles 7 and 8, the application of which the Hirak has claimed."
Former Head of Government and Chairman of Talaie El Houriyet party, Ali Benflis said that the organization of the presidential election "is the shortest, least risky and least costly path" for our country.
Al-Moustakel Front party Chairman, Abdelaziz Belaid confirmed his participation in the 12 December presidential election in the evening.
The Algerian people will assume their responsibility today" as "the arbiter" who "holds the solution," said Belaid.
Habirat Abderrezak, another presidential candidate, filed his candidacy papers.
He assured that he "meets" all legal candidacy conditions and his candidacy was intended to be "an answer to the call of the country."
Abbas Djamel, a university teacher and another presidential candidate, filed his candidacy papers on Saturday.
He urged Algerians to mobilize for the building of a better Algeria through "participation in the presidential election" scheduled for 12 December.
Another party leader, Mourad Aroudk also filed his candidacy papers on Saturday.
Independent presidential elections, Ali Sekouri and Abdelhakim Hemadi, as well as Secretary General of the National Republican Alliance (ANR), Belkacem Sahli, Journalist Slimane Bekhlili and Chairman of the child protection network NADA, Abderrahmane Arar also chose the last day to file their candidacy papers.
On Saturday, Kherchi Neoui, Raouf Aieb, Nadjeh Abdelmounim, Belabbes Layadi and Mohamed Bouaouina (five independent candidates) and Leader of the Good Governance Front, Belhadi Aissa, as well as Chairman of the National Union for Development, Mohamed Dif and Economist Fares Mesdour filed their papers.
147 applicants withdrew the application forms for individual signatures for the presidential elections on 12 December.


After getting beat down on at the Eastern Cup on Saturday I headed north, back to the safe confines of citizen's racing for the Flying Moose up in Bethel. With an Eastern Cup being run at Holderness that day, it was a good chance to try to reassemble some ski-esteem with the Birkie looming.
Due to low snow (although a lot more snow than Holderness, I heard) the race was run exclusively on the Gould Academy trail system. Usually the race loops through there before ultimately continuing to the Bethel Inn for the latter half. Every time I've done this in the past, I've lost places after leaving the Gould trails, so I wasn't gonna complain about the change.
It's been 3 years since I last did an Eastern Cup. There's a reason for this. Eastern Cups are basically the UCI race of nordic skiing, minus the B field that might allow one to salvage their self-esteem or even have a little fun. Nope, an Eastern Cup is basically an experts-only race, made even more aggravating by the fact that most of the "experts" are high school boys.
So that's why I'd been avoiding them for the last 3 years, but hey, as part of the "Birkie Build" training program (patent definitely not pending... ask me next Monday) I needed a big weekend, and I train most effectively with a number on. Thus I registered for the Eastern Cup under the guise of "training," as if that would make me feel any better when the results went up.
The weather was beautiful for riding, and gross for classic skiing. 40+ degrees with slush in the sun and glazed tracks in the shade? LOVELY.
Man, I am so out of Tuesday night blog titles.
This week's Tuesday night race at Weston was especially exciting because it's the "vacation week race," where everyone with kids doesn't show up, because they're stuck at the police station after chaining their kids to a stake in the yard, because they were bouncing off the walls for the last four days.
Also adding some excitement to the mix was the "Whistler Olympic Park" conditions -- 32 and snowing. Warming up, I thought I had atrocious skis, but it turns out that no one's skis were actually gliding. As soon as the race got going, I was like, "oh, we're all going slow tonight. Phew." And sure enough, race time was about 3 minutes slower for a 20 minute race.
It's been 13 months since my last interval start ski race, so I was inexplicably pumped for a 10k skate race up at Pineland. "Man, I can't wait to ski alone for half an hour! Just me and my pain, out in the woods for a ski, interrupted only by the occasional terrified glance backward to see if anyone is catching us." It's gonna be great!
With the Birkie looming in 14 days there was no way that Cary could afford to let me get in any extra training in, so he joined me on the drive up through the snowless coast of Maine.
Of course the race was close to said coast, and as a result there was virtually no snow to be found at the race site, either. We parked in a field that had been plowed, but if you climbed over the plow banks -- grass. The only snow in the whole field was at the edge against the trees, where it was slightly shaded from the afternoon sun.
Oh, this is going to be great. Glad I brought my rock skis.
I think the best thing about the winter season is that even when I get sick and take a weekend off, I can always hit up the ol' Tuesday Night smackdown at Weston and get in something blogworthy.
Before we get to the "action" (spoiler alert: there was drafting), I want to call your attention to a new race on the New England calendar.
Last year my dad and I were kicking around the idea of trying to make a single-loop 50k "Dixville Loppet" up at the Balsams, you know, that place with the giant trail system and amazing snow that never has races, and thus is unknown to the nordic racer dork crowd?
I realized the other day that I had virtually the exact same January 2010 as January 2009. Same races, same training, same results. I think I'm turning into solobreak. And now it's February 2010, and I have the same head cold that I had for the first week of February 2009. Creepy.
Of course, I did do one thing differently in January, I finally hardened up and did a 50k before March.
Sentences like that one prove that I'm not a real skier, because it's past mid-season for most people at this point, and they've been on snow for 2+ months, rollerskis since September, and are trying to "hang onto their form" as the season drags on. Meanwhile, I'm congratulating myself on the fact that I skied for a whopping 3 hours without breaking down completely.

After a year on the job, Father Jeff Wilson has settled nicely into his role as pastor for the Parish of All Saints and Saint Joseph.
Wilson replaced Father John Fitzgerald, who led the congregation for 24 years before his retirement last January. The parish includes All Saints Catholic Church in Twain Harte and St. Joseph's in Tuolumne.
Sitting comfortably at his desk in a pressed black suit with crisp white collar, Wilson reflected on the past year.
Despite feeling a closeness with the church since he was young, Wilson, 61, began his career with the church late in life.
Wilson grew up in Lockeford and graduated from Lodi High School in 1976. He attended Delta College for a while, then worked in carpentry before joining the Army in 1980. He served three years active duty as an Army corpsman medic and three years reserve.
After the service, Wilson returned to Delta College, then earned a Bachelor of Science degree in construction management from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. He worked as a construction manager on high-rise projects in the Bay Area and San Diego, then as a general contractor for five years before entering the seminary.
"The church came to me, asked me 'Jeff, have you ever thought of the priesthood.' I said, 'Not really.' But I trusted God and loved God and believed in the teachings given to us through the church, and I wanted to continue to give my life to him … and be faithful.
He received his master's degree in divinity from St. Patrick's Seminary in Menlo Park in spring 2011. He was ordained in June 2011 and went on to serve as pastor at St. Anthony's in Hughson and St. Patrick's in Ripon before moving to Twain Harte.
Having lived in the Central Valley and Bay Area all of his life, Wilson described the move as a bit of a culture shock.
The purchase of an all-wheel-drive vehicle and the kindness of local residents helped with his adjustment from big-city to small-town living.
His congregation is also a bit smaller than he's used to, with about 260 active parishioners between the two churches. Wilson said his intention as pastor is to increase those numbers.
"One of my goals here is to bring in our younger families back home to the faith," Wilson said. He said he's hoping to reach out to baptized Catholics who have become caught up in their busy lives and steer them back.
"I'm really trying to find ways to outreach to them," Wilson said.
In the past year, Wilson has attended many local community events, including giving the opening prayer for Twain Harte's popular Royal Flush Crapper Derby, and he built a new church float for the annual Twain Harte Christmas Parade, which won first prize in December.
Wilson has also met with representatives of non-denominational churches and local chaplaincies and has toured the homeless and women's shelters.
In addition to giving weekly sermons at the two churches, weekly at Pinecrest during the summer months, and once a month at Sierra Conservation Center, Wilson's duties include church administration and visiting families to officiating at weddings and funerals, counseling and giving last rites.
"The local priest is kind of a jack of all trades," said Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald, although retired, now lives in a cabin next to All Saints Church and keeps busy filling in for Wilson and other priests whenever needed, often at churches in the valley.
Fitzgerald, looking relaxed in a red-and-black flannel shirt and warm overcoat, said that priests retire from pastoral duties but never from the priesthood.
Fitzgerald said he gets calls about once a week to fill in for a priest at another parish.
"But he's the one who bears the burden and the worries," he said, gesturing toward Wilson.
Despite those worries, Wilson said he feels right at home in Twain Harte.

Tokyo: For Toyota Motor Corp, China wasn't always the first pit stop when it came to unveiling key car models. But this time, it's different.
The Japanese automaker is set to take the wraps off the all-new Corolla — and its China-only twin Levin — at a global premiere in Guangzhou on Friday, hours before it's put on display in California. The move marks Toyota's deeper push into the world's biggest auto market where it is trailing rivals.
The Corolla, the staid workhorse that seldom makes heads turn but is still loved universally, is getting a facelift at a time sedans are losing their sheen in the US while gaining followers in China.
Built on Toyota's new global architecture platform, the models to be unveiled will offer more connectivity and intelligent features to lure Chinese buyers.
China overtook the US to become the largest market for the compact sedan last year, with the combined annual deliveries of Corolla and Levin reaching half a million and taking the lead in the segment.
Amid a sharp demand shift to SUVs in the US, Toyota is increasingly counting on China to sustain the success story of the world's best-selling model of any carmaker over the last thirty years. Reflecting the slumping demand for sedans in the US, Toyota plans to slow one of the three assembly lines at its Camry assembly plant in Kentucky next month.
In China, the Corolla and Levin contribute about 40 per cent of Toyota's sales and are key to changing the automaker's also-run status.
Toyota sold 1.29 million vehicles in China last year and is targeting 1.4 million this year, compared with sales of more than 4 million units each at Volkswagen AG and General Motors Co.
Japanese competitors Nissan Motor Co. and Honda Motor Co., though smaller globally, have also been quicker than Toyota in ramping up sales in China.
"Toyota believes it has potential to raise its market share given it is low compared with the US," said Janet Lewis, an analyst at Macquarie Capital Securities in Tokyo.
Key to reversing that laggard status is the ever-reliable Corolla, a car so reputed for its quality that many owners prefer another Toyota for their next purchase.
Toyota has traditionally been concentrating on the US, even after China overtook it to become the world's largest car market in 2009.
Now though, the famously cautious Japanese manufacturing giant has added incentive to shift focus as China moves to loosen restrictions while the US threatens to raise trade barriers.
As of now Toyota has been largely unscathed, or even has actually benefited from the US-China trade war. While China in July increased the levy on vehicles imported from the US to 40 per cent, it almost simultaneously lowered the duty on other imported cars to 15 per cent.
That has in particular benefited Toyota's luxury Lexus vehicles exported from Japan to China.
That, coupled with continued strong demand for the outgoing Corolla and the new Camry, helped Toyota boost China sales by 13 per cent in the first nine months this year, bucking an industry slowdown and leading the gains by major carmakers.
This also has boosted confidence for Toyota to set its eye on tripling car production in China by as soon as 2030.
To be sure, Toyota's future growth hinges on how the company embraces new-energy vehicles.
Under China's so-called cap-and-trade policy, automakers must obtain a new-energy vehicle (NEV) score — which is linked to the production of various types of zero- and low-emission vehicles — starting January.
Toyota, which has been a laggard in pure-electric cars, had to speed up in NEVs.
Unlike VW or GM, the conventional hybrids with which Toyota is the indisputable leader will be central to the company's electrification efforts.
Toyota intentionally put two gasoline-electric versions of the Corolla and Levin on display in Guangzhou, as sales of hybrid models have started to take off since it localised production in 2015.
However, conventional hybrids are unlikely to be included as NEVs in China and it remains to be seen how far they can go without much government support that EVs and plug-ins receive.
To find allies promoting the technology, Toyota has engaged in advanced talks to license its hybrid system to Chinese carmaker Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd, Bloomberg has reported.
"Hybrids are very important to Toyota's China and global strategy, but it only works in China if other companies produce them," Lewis said.

Ridiculously Brilliant
The Ridiculous Trio Plays The Stooges
As if there is not enough Stooges material to listen to on the 50th anniversary this year of Fun House (with a 16-album box set of outtakes) and the newly unearthed Goose Lake 1970 concert, here is something else that is really fun. The Ridiculous Trio (trombone, tuba and drums) play The Stooges!
I usually can't stand cover songs, but I just had to buy this because I was so impressed with the painted CD cover replicating the fiery red and yellow swirl of the Fun House album art, with images of a trombone and tuba in the mix.
If I was the director of my high school marching band, this is what we would sound like. The tuba takes the bass parts, and the trombone plays the melody and leads, mimicking Iggy's yelps and yowls with screechy high notes. The horns, along with thrashing, bashing drums, maintain the fluidity and hypnotic swagger of the Stooge groove. It might be ridiculous, but it's brilliant!
Usually, instrumental covers of classic songs are known as 'muzak' – but you can't make muzak out of The Stooges! Even if these songs were played on flutes and piccolos, you could not tame them. The big bold brass and crashing drums are more appropriate.
From the opening hand-claps of 'No Fun' I could tell this was going to be another great Saturday night alone for this Stooges fanatic! 'Down on the Street' is aggressive with a nice break of pure chaos. The 'scream' at the start of 'T.V. Eye' is a honking horn blow. This might be my favorite track. I love when the trombone sometimes sounds like a kazoo!
The first three songs pack a punch, but some songs work better than others. 'Scene of the Crime' starts off powerfully, but only repeats the riff and breaks apart, until it bursts into 'Death Trip', which also shoots out of the gate but does not amount to much. It's hard for brass to replicate the sound of razor blades against guitar strings that James Williamson gloriously achieves.
And now, we're back in action! The sucking Stooges vortex that draws us in to the beautiful 'Dirt' is achieved wonderfully by the horn, which also manages to replicate the sound of a guitar really well. Not exactly the fuzzy tone of Ron Asheton, but an impressive sound nonetheless. The tuba pays a fine tribute to Dave Alexander's lovely bass line. I really like this one!
45 seconds of 'She Creatures of the Hollywood Hills' acknowledges that they know their Stooges catalogue… 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' is the least successful, with some odd stops and starts. It sounds the most like a marching band. And I really miss the sleigh bells!
The songs are all shorter versions but I would prefer to hear them go on longer. 'Not Right' is next, and it's so right, and a bit jazzy!
Over 15-minutes of 'We Will Fall' is a waste of precious time, (although John Cale must be gloating). At least three more Stooges covers could have been interpreted Instead. 'Loose' would have been nice, or even 'L.A. Blues'! But overall, this is the most amazing thing I have heard in a while!
The amusing liner notes state that the band themselves were surprised by the release of this CD, as this project reaches back to some vinyl single releases in 2004.
The Ridiculous Trio are:
Mike Hagedom – trombone, Rob Pleshar – Tuba and Shannon Morrow on drums
The label, Modern Harmonics (whose logo looks like the Elektra logo sideways) has also released a Prime Movers disc – The Prime Movers Blues Band (with Iggy Pop) MHCD-098 which I am also going to check out!

The Stooges – Fun House – 1970 →


In January 1955, Grivas founded the National Organization of Cypriot Fighters (Ethniki Organosis Kyprion Agoniston – EOKA). On 1 April 1955, EOKA opened a campaign against British rule in a well-coordinated series of attacks on police, military, and other government installations in Nicosia, Famagusta, Larnaca and Limassol. This resulted in the deaths of over 100 British servicemen and personnel and Greek Cypriots suspected of collaboration.
In 1957 the Turkish Resistance Organization (Türk Mukavemet Teskilati – TMT), was formed to fight EOKA. In response to the growing demand for enosis, a number of Turkish Cypriots became convinced that the only way to protect the interests and identity of the Turkish Cypriot population in the event of enosis would be to divide the island into a Greek and a Turkish sector, a policy known as taksim ("partition" in Turkish).
By now the island was on the verge of civil war. In December 1958, representatives of Greece and Turkey discussed the concept of an independent Cyprus, i.e., neither enosis nor taksim. Subsequent talks yielded a compromise agreement supporting independence, laying the foundations of the Republic of Cyprus. In London, the Greek and Turkish representatives were joined by representatives of the Greek Cypriots, the Turkish Cypriots (represented by Dr. Fazil Kucuk), and the British.
The Zurich-London agreements that became the basis for the Cyprus constitution of 1960 were supplemented with three treaties - the Treaty of Establishment, the Treaty of Guarantee and the Treaty of Alliance. Greek Cypriots, especially members of organizations such as EOKA, expressed disappointment because enosis had not been attained. Turkish Cypriots, however, welcomed the agreements and set aside their demand for taksim.
According to the Treaty of Establishment, Britain retained sovereignty over 256 square kilometers, which became the Dhekelia Sovereign Base Area, to the northwest of Larnaca, and the Akrotiri Sovereign Base Area to the southwest of Limassol. Cyprus became independent on 16 August 1960.

« Why Joe Biden Should Quit the Race | Main | Detroit-Mercy Law Seeks IP Clinic Director »
Biden's Wasting Asset
In my recent post calling for Joe Biden to withdraw from the Democratic primary, I posited that his early polling lead was due mostly to name recognition, which I called a "wasting asset." In a comment, Paul Horwitz asked for clarification "in a way that helps us apply it to other candidates." Said Paul, "Your post is not at all clear on what constitutes an asset: I would have thought that experience in the executive and legislative branches might be an asset."
To be clear, then, I was referring only to Biden's main asset as a candidate, as opposed to his qualifications for office. As I said in the original post, I think he would make a fine president, and I would vote for him – or any Democrat, or probably any Republican – over the incumbent. But the fact is that the most well-qualified candidate does not always win, and experience is often either a non-factor or an actual impediment to electoral success. We have seen this repeatedly in the post-WWII era, as the most experienced candidates lost in 1960, 1976, 1992, 2000, 2008, and 2016.
Paul also says he "would be perfectly happy with a categorical suggestion that any candidate over 55 or 60 should drop out." This is a tempting suggestion. Four of the last five Democrats to win the White House all ran as "change" candidates – Kennedy, Carter, Clinton, Obama – and three of those four were in their youthful 40s (Carter being the exception, though he was only 54). Democrats have not been successful running as "continuity" or "restoration" candidates, witness what happened to Walter Mondale and Al Gore. The last Democrat to win a first term on a non-change platform was LBJ, and that was obviously a very special situation.
As vulnerable as Trump may seem, 2020 promises to be a very difficult election for Democrats, as both the odds and history favor the incumbent.
I have not yet chosen a candidate, and I hope the field quickly narrows (though that does not currently seem likely). I am certain that I disfavor the re-treads, Biden and Sanders. I like the idea of a generational change, although that would rule out Warren, whom I greatly admire.
Paul wonders whether I would call on any "damaged" candidate to drop out. I think that depends on the nature of the damage and my assessment of the candidate's ability to overcome it. That is, what are the candidate's other assets, campaign-wise, and how would they fare in the general election? That is admittedly speculative, which is why we have an extended primary season. Remember, Jeb Bush was the GOP frontrunner at this point in 2015.
In sum, I do not think that a single misstep will, or should, doom a candidacy. But I do think that Biden's claim on the nomination rested largely on name recognition, generic party preference, and, let's face it, nostalgia. However much that might help him in the primary, it would not be enough to beat Trump, which is why I think he ought to quit now.
In response to the last post by Lubet, I observed:
"This is the new Left: long in rage and contempt for Trump (substitute Romney, Bush, Reagan, Nixon and any other republican, it doesn't matter) and short in principles. ... Here are the "issues" Lubet avoids: trying to bribe the voters with free (i.e., taxpayer funded) education, forgiveness of all student debt, free health care, guaranteed federal employment, a guaranteed monthly income, and, to put a cherry on the cake, all these benefits for any person who manages come into this country, whether with or without permission, and without regard to payment by that person of taxes of any kind."
Lubet doubles down, drawing a specious distinction between ability to win (merit of "candidacy") and ability to govern (merits of candidate). This stance reflects the ongoing deep disrespect the new LEft holds for the people.
To be sure, when we say "the people", for a new Leftist, we are not speaking of the "deplorables." These persons are "irredeemables" and therefore not even part of the discussion (about 48% of the country).
No, when a new Leftist refers to "the people" or "the voters" he or she means those who can be expected to vote for a Democrat. And, as we read and listen to the new Leftists, it becomes clear that they have no respect at all for these voters.
For a new Leftist, these voters are easily manipulated by brainwashing techniques, no matter how many billions are spent by the DNC and the Democratic candidates (Citizen United, "Russia"); these voters are racists (they vote on the basis of ethnic identity); these voters are ageists (they unashamedly postulate ageist tropes and engage in age discrimination), and these voters are easily swayed by unrealistic promises of free stuff at the expense of the despised "others." (It literally appears that the Democratic pitch is that rich white people will pay for all the give aways -- see, e.g., the claim for "reparations" ....)
The new Left, perhaps the Left always, has had a low opinion of "the People." Perhaps "the people" aren't as stupid and gullible and venal as the new Left presupposes them to be. Perhaps, just perhaps, they actually do pay some attention to the issues, or at least, to whether the candidate has a theme (e.g., Obama had a theme, for sure: did he carry it out)?
Posted by: anon | July 02, 2019 at 02:33 PM
There is a flaw in Lubet's analysis, even if we accept the specious "candidacy" v. "candidate" distinction.
Lubet states " I [am] referring only to Biden's main asset as a candidate, as opposed to his qualifications for office [his name recognition]."
Are we to suppose that Sanders suffers from a lack of name recognition?
From Wiki: "Sanders narrowly lost the 2016 Iowa Democratic caucuses by 0.25% of the vote.[94] He won the New Hampshire Democratic primary on February 9, 2016 by 22.4% of the vote (60.4% to Hillary Clinton's 38.0%), receiving strong support from voters who considered it important to nominate a candidate who is "honest and trustworthy".[95][96] This made him the first self-described democratic socialist and first non-Christian to win a major party's U.S. presidential primary.[97][98][99] In his home state of Vermont, Sanders received 86.1% of the vote, denying Clinton any delegates. He also won "landslide" victories in Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii. On March 8, Sanders pulled off an upset in the Michigan Democratic primary, where polls had favored Clinton by significant margins.[100] Of the 78% of pledged delegates allocated in primaries and caucuses by May 10, 2016, Clinton had won 54% to Sanders's 46%.[101]"
Which brings us to two other salient points that refute Lubet's analysis. First, national polls and MSNBC ignoramuses don't determine voting in the caucuses and primaries. This has been shown time and time again. Iowa and New Hampshire, Carolina, etc.
Second, the rules have changed, given the way the Dems screwed Sanders last time. This may mean more competition: we'll see.
BTW, I would have taken this post more seriously if Lubet posted it before the first debate. I don't support Biden. But to call for his withdrawing from the race, based on a 90 second hit by Harris, is sort of risible, no?
How can we take seriously off the cuff prescriptions based on internet memes and fleeting "issues" that dominate on MSNBC for a few days ? Doesn't this sort of chatter embody almost EVERYTHING that is wrong with our politics today?


God offers grace to those that need it most. He gives a chance to exercise faith and share His love. That love was displayed; it was shown by what He did on the cross. And that was the reason referred to in our verse today. Greater love has no one than this, that they give their life for another. He has UNLIMITED PATIENCE!
When I read this verse out of 1st Timothy I think of my life and how fortunate I am that God sent mercy my way. Mercy came running in my direction. Mercy offered me a clean white board, a second chance and the opportunity to right wrongs and walk His walk. Thankfully He had patience without limits!
Remember today that God is for you. He is praying for you, gently nudging you towards the right path and speaking through all that is around you. Look for Him. He is with YOU. When everyone else is against you He is all you need to hold on to. Trust His leading. Believe His Word. Grace and mercy is on the way!


A generous grant, helps fund a new Pastoral Worker for Aggie's — Aggie Weston's – Helping serving sailors, marines and their families.
Thanks in part to a generous grant from The Royal Marines Charity (part of RNRMC), Aggie's has been able to fund an additional Pastoral Worker in the Plymouth region. Christian Hill, will be based at the Royal Marines Barracks in Stonehouse, which will allow us to increase support in nearby locations, specifically at RM Bickleigh and in several of the nearby SFA patches.
We welcome Christian to the team, and believe he will be a great asset to Aggie's.
