我悲观的认为:并不是印度人特别倒霉,而只是这场火还没有烧到华人头上。(或者是已经烧到了,但是川粉们坚决否认那和种族歧视有关。)

共和党取代obamacare 的新方案出炉了!取消individual mandate and Employer mandate, 联邦给州的拨款封顶,嗯,表面上看来是不再强迫你买保险了,事实上是大幅减少补贴,大幅提高保险公司可以charge 老人的保险金(从现在最高为年轻人三倍提高到五倍,还可以让州自己定)。穷人老人买不起就买不起,去死吧。

对呀,除了厕所,就是关心同性恋。昨天看到一个男川粉在妈妈们聊夏令营的时候,气氛地插进来一句话:”迪斯尼越来越不像话,新美女和野兽里居然有同性恋镜头!“ 这不神经病么?

英文里的”幸灾乐祸“,我一直以为是gloat, 查了定义,只对一半,还有”洋洋自得“的意思:

contemplate or dwell on one's own success or another's misfortune with smugness or malignant pleasure.

Gloat 好像没有“活该”的含义在里面。

纽约时报这一篇 op-ed 有点意思。实际上美国的政治,不论左右,不论民主党共和党,都是处在一个分裂重组的阶段,旧秩序无法维持而新秩序尚未建立的十字路口。

是令人失望,但是,希拉里做了那么多,现在该我们这一代。作为一个中年女性,哪怕站在原地坚持生活工作,也是一种抵抗。我们受过教育,我们习惯了有权利,只要我们存在就不会让他们轻易把进步变倒退。因为还记得旧时代,我们会比年轻女孩子更珍惜生育选择权和同工同酬权。

It really does have a great look — all the laws of mass and motion aside, you feel pretty confident the bull is going to wind up backing down. And it reminds you that while marching is important, sometimes you can make a difference by standing still.
The Wall Street girl celebrates all the people who resisted by staying in place.
Marches are a great demonstration of solidarity: How many people will be telling their grandchildren they were at the women’s march after the Trump inauguration? But the little girl is a nice reminder that even if a crowd isn’t available, you have to do what you can. Even if it means standing down a bull, or refusing to get off a trolley.

中国政府给坚持一个中国的川普政权的报酬。
http://cn.nytimes.com/business/20170309 ... ald-trump/
北京——中国已初步批准特朗普总统注册27个新商标,涉及餐厅和广告在内的行业,这些商业利益可能会招致更多关于存在潜在冲突的指责。
中国已是他商业前景最大的目标之一。包括最近这批商标在内,他的公司自2005年以来已在中国申请了至少126个商标,涉及餐厅、酒吧、酒店、经纪业务、广告和管理咨询。
这批新商标获得批准的时机可能会给特朗普造成不好的看法,因为它们和他上台的时间离得太近了。

2月,中国政府宣布授予特朗普在建筑项目领域保护特朗普品牌的权利。在那之前,双方打了10年的官司。但就在特朗普与中国国家主席习近平的通话中放弃质疑中国对台政策的几天后,中国便宣布批准了该商标。

接着便是大量商标获批。中国商标局的网站显示,该机构在2月27日和周一初步批准了27个新商标。

最近这批名为“唐纳·川普”的商标起初获准用于高尔夫俱乐部、保险服务、育儿中心和养老院等等类别。如果商标局没收到反对意见,它们将在三个月后正式获得注册。美联社早前报道过这些商标。

马修·德累斯顿(Matthew Dresden)是西雅图哈里斯-布里肯律师事务所(Harris Bricken)专攻中国知识产权法的律师,他说,“一次批准”所有这些商标不符合常规做法。

我回去找到了之前见过的报道,群众对于女律师的道德标准高于对男律师的标准:

Women Held To Higher Ethical Standard Than Men, Study Shows
http://www.npr.org/2016/06/02/480487259 ... tudy-shows
In a new study on gender and ethics, researchers found women receive harsher punishments than men for ethical violations at work.
同一研究,从专业角度看的报道:

Female Attys More Likely To Be Disbarred, Study Says
https://www.law360.com/articles/805595/ ... study-says

不同领域的研究,关于女科学家比男科学家更有道德的研究。

Too Ethical to Get Ahead?
Study finds that physicists are more likely to describe women as ethical scientists, but in ways that potentially limit their productivity and competitiveness.
https://www.insidehighered.com/news/201 ... -them-back

社会普遍认为女人比男人更有道德,更好,这是 positive stereotype,似乎是好事 --- "the fairer sex," "my better half." 说你好还不好吗?

联想到经常看见这个被经常引用的数据:

http://womendeliver.org/resources/infographics/
Girls and Women spend 90% of their earned income on their families , while men spend only 30-40%.
这个数据经常被用来鼓吹支持把资助穷困地区的钱交给/借给妇女发展商业,言下之意是女人比较不自私。Maybe that is true ... or a self-fulfilling expectation ... or social pressure, ie, brain washing.

照我看来,女性追求社会地位的平等,一大目标是追求在道德上与男性的平等,包括内心给自己设的标准。社会疯狂讴歌女性的伟大和善良,特别是无私奉献,造成的集体心理破坏和压迫很可能大大超过 negative stereotypes。所以,刘慧芳确实是最可怕的反面典型。

刚看了Jun上面的关于对女性不平等待遇(尤其是女律师)的贴,就立刻看到今晚联邦法庭2:1判德州选区重划不合宪法的判决!!重大阳光!!! :admir002: :admir002:
Breaking: District Court, Splitting 2-1, Finds Some Texas Congressional Districts Violate Voting Rights Act or Constitution

正式全面的分析还没出来,但是投了唯一反对票那个法官Judge Smith的反对判词语惊四座,简直是对Jun引得论点的再一次证明,大家想想如果是个男律师,这个Smith法官还会不会气成这个样子?
Judge Smith dissented, believing that the case is moot. But he reserved his sharpest words for the U.S. Department of Justice’s intervention in this case:

And then there is the United States, appearing through attorneys from the Department of Justice. I have no criticism of their knowledge of the law, and their zeal is, to say the least, more than adequate. But they entered these proceedings with arrogance and condescension. One of the Department’s lawyers even exhibited her contempt for Texas and its representatives and her disdain for these proceedings by regularly rolling her eyes at State witnesses’ answers that she did not like, and she amused herself by chewing gum while court was in session.

It was obvious, from the start, that the DoJ attorneys viewed state officials and the legislative majority and their staffs as a bunch of backwoods hayseed bigots who bemoan the abolition of the poll tax and pine for the days of literacy tests and lynchings. And the DoJ lawyers saw themselves as an expeditionary landing party arriving here, just in time, to rescue the state from oppression, obviously presuming that plaintiffs’ counsel were not up to the task. The Department of Justice moreover views Texas redistricting litigation as the potential grand prize and lusts for the day when it can reimpose preclearance via Section 3(c).
再来一点阳光!我现在也每晚在msnbc.com上面看maddow的节目(工作日每晚西岸时间九点后就上线了),她确实把川皇和俄国的故事讲得跟侦探小说似的。赞!能打败狐狸台,太好了!

对,都是总统选的,拒绝辞职没出路。唯一区别是“辞职”和被“解雇”。 高调拒绝辞职的Preet Bharara刚刚被解雇了。
Image
推上纷纷在推测他是不是在调查川皇(South District of NY 职责范围包括华尔街和川普tower). 逼着川普解雇他可以造成“obstruction of justice"的证据。。。

纽约客去年给Preet做的profile非常好看。他来头不小,原来是Chuck Schumer的助手,小布希当政时奋起反抗当时的司法部长一口气撤了八个US Attorney结果造成司法部长辞职的结果。当时Preet请来的明星证人。。。当当当。。。是Comey!
The Showman-How U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara struck fear into Wall Street and Albany. 他和Comey渊源很深呢!

忘记在哪儿看到,Bharara 是电视剧 Billions 里面 Paul Giamatti 演的主角的原型来着。

大老板赶紧拼命刮啊收割啊,人民现在已经很穷了,看样子也刮不了多久了,未来几十年只靠机器人来给大老板们发财了。
DoJ attorneys viewed state officials and the legislative majority and their staffs as a bunch of backwoods hayseed bigots who bemoan the abolition of the poll tax and pine for the days of literacy tests and lynchings.
Here's some transparent projection. 这些人一点不傻,自己是什么玩意儿,心里比谁都清楚,要不然怎么会又疑心又暴怒别人都在讥笑自己呢?都摊开承认吧,我就是 backwoods hayeseed bigots 你能拿我怎样?别装了。此法官对女律师大怒,显然因为他觉得她是个 uppity bitch. Uppity 这个词是很有趣的。

-----------

Anyway, what I am saying is this: Women should refuse to be better, and refuse to be good.

这里说的好就是传统意义上的好。我们不要做好人,我们不要有道德,我们不要做 the fairer sex。一样就可以了。

Jun wrote:忘记在哪儿看到,Bharara 是电视剧 Billions 里面 Paul Giamatti 演的主角的原型来着。
上面我引的那篇纽约客文章就有提这个。还说Billions里面 Giamatti的SM情节什么的,让Bharara的同事很惊诧他这么爱惜羽毛的人怎么允许这种毁形象的事情发生。

纽约客上列了一串关于Bharara的文章,还都来自不同作者,纽约客到底是有多爱这个人!
Sheelah Kolhatkar, “Total Return”: The story of Bharara’s pursuit of the hedge-fund legend Steven A. Cohen. (January 16, 2017)

Jeffrey Toobin, “The Showman”: A Profile of Bharara. (May 9, 2016)

Jennifer Gonnerman, “A Lawsuit to End Abuse at Rikers”: On Bharara’s role in efforts to change the treatment of adolescent inmates at New York City’s central jail complex. (December 19, 2014)

John Cassidy, “Cuomo vs. Bharara: Battle of the Heavyweights”: Analysis of the questions Bharara raised regarding the demise of a New York State anti-corruption investigation. (July 23, 2014)

George Packer, “A Dirty Business”: A review of Bharara’s approach to Wall Street crime. (June 27, 2011)
最早这篇“A Dirty Business” 讲的主要是华尔街上一个hedge fund Galleon头目Raj Rajaratnam连了一个巨大的印度高管(从麦肯锡到硅谷各大公司)的信息网搞insider trading的事。也挺好看的。

Comey貌似很欣赏Bharara,说他又聪明又有幽默感,Comey said the impression he gave was “if Jon Stewart was a prosecutor.”
Once, Bharara opened a speaking engagement before a roomful of financial traders by saying, “I just want to apologize in advance that I don’t have enough subpoenas for all of you.” As the audience broke out in laughter, he said, “I’m just kidding.” Pause. “I do have enough.”
入职前在白宫被面试也敢开玩笑
When Bharara was interviewed at the White House for the U.S. Attorney’s job, he was asked if he had been born in India. Yes, Bharara replied. But was he a citizen of the United States? “Damn,” Bharara said. “You’ve got to be a citizen for this job?”
下午纽约时报记者刚刚爆料周四白宫川普手下主动打电话联系Bharara,叫他回电话。他不仅没回,还通知司法部Sessions的办公室有这回事,而且不合规矩。周五就闹出46个US Atterney都被解雇的Friday massacre...真是没法不让人想入非非啊!

纽约时报这篇介绍Merkel和Putin同在东德“成长”的文章很有意思。
Putin and Merkel: A Rivalry of History, Distrust and Power
It was 2001, just weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks, and Mr. Putin pledged solidarity with America while also sketching a vision of Russia’s European destiny. He was the first Russian leader to address the German Parliament, and lawmakers jumped to their feet, applauding, as many deputies marveled that he could speak their language so well.

Except for Angela Merkel, then the relatively untested leader of the opposition. She joined the standing ovation but turned to say something to a lawmaker who had grown up in the formerly Communist East, as she had. She knew how Mr. Putin’s German had gotten so good.

“Thanks to the Stasi,” Ms. Merkel said, a reference to the East German secret police Mr. Putin had worked alongside when he was a young K.G.B. officer in Dresden.
这文章让我想起几年前听过的一篇freshair:Joseph Kennedy, 'Patriarch' Of An American Dynasty, 讲JFK老爹的历史。当时印象特别深的是二战结束后Joseph Kennedy对丘吉尔说的一句话:“what good did it do [referring to US entering the war]? now we have Stalin instead of Hitler? Both are threatening capitalism. One is no better than the other.”
He looked like a small panther, and he moved like a patch of night.

Galleon 那个案子当时很有名的。
Billions 里关于制药公司有个FUND MANAGER使劲跟trial 病人家属交朋友非法提前取得信息的故事,真实生活版更HEARTLESS 更令人作呕。有本讲SAC的书( "Black Edge: Inside Information, Dirty Money, And The Quest To Bring Down The Most Wanted Man On Wall Street.")里细说,SAC里有个年轻的小分析员,Mathew Martoma, 一直是跟踪老年痴呆新药的,故意跟老年痴呆症的专家老教授Dr. Sid Gilman 交朋友,老教授经常在各种老年痴呆症药上市审查团里,有个儿子很年轻就死了。小分析员逐渐跟老教授从职业关系到亲密友谊,最后怂恿老教授给他提前看某个药的审批资料. 案发后老教授身败名裂.
加拿大人太可爱了.

Now, if only they start to allow emergency rooms to throw out patients who cannot pay, I think we're all set.

对了,新医疗法案还把 mental health 的要求给废了,所以,更多人会失去 mental health coverage. 等着吸毒上瘾大爆发吧。大家要回到解放前,现在已经是解放前。求仁得仁,就别后悔了。

-------

最近我意识到美国文化隐藏的一套心理机制,也不知是本地特色还是普遍现象。

举个例子,大家都记得清楚,川普在辩论的时候,被希拉里指出是俄国的木偶,他大叫,Not a puppet. You're a puppet. 很多人观察到川普和他的阵营会自觉不自觉地把自己做的事情或者特性投射到别人身上,他自己特别腐败搞官商勾结,就特意拿出反腐的大旗来宣传,狂骂别人腐败。略微熟悉一点心理学的同学都能认出这是 projection 的昭彰表现。如果不是偷偷怀疑自己是大恶人,也不会到处在别人身上看见恶,对于他人之恶的疯狂攻击,几乎肯定来自于对于自己之恶的恐惧。此次可以将“恶”换成任何东西。

然后我忽然回忆起来,当我刚移民美国住在洛杉矶时,最流行的是以黑人青年为主题的黑帮电影与音乐(gangsta rap),宣传得我们这些新移民在街上每次看见一个黑人男青年路人就吓得以为他马上就要掏出把枪来抢劫我了。后来搬到首都地区,到处都是黑人,跟黑人一起坐地铁,渐渐习惯了,脑子里也不会立刻联想到可怕的电影画面。然而,在全国各地,仍然经常有警察 --- 不限于白人警察 --- 在街上碰见个黑人男青年,也象我这个新移民一样,满脑子“他马上要来攻击我”的想象,人家都没看见你呢,你已经把手按上了腰上的配枪。Anyway,为什么黑人男青年在这个文化里占据了特别可怕的那个点呢?啊,但是七八十年前,占据这个特别可怕特别有攻击力的角色,至少在电影里,是 Indians。从二十世纪初到二战后,西部片是美国电影里的一大类型,主题总是 Indians and Cowboys,以至于当时长大的男孩子(多数为白人)小时候都玩过这个打仗游戏。中国的男孩子玩打仗游戏是抗战电影指导的八路军和日本鬼子,而美国男孩子的游戏也是电影指导的,白男牛仔跟狰狞的印第安人的战争。又然后,这是前两天,我忽然记起来为什么美国文化中的危险敌人,这两年突然转向为穆斯林,虽然过去几十年里伊斯兰教基本没有被主流文化注意过。大家现在把脸一抹,都不记得仅仅十五年前发兵入侵阿富汗和伊拉克,打死很多当地平民,又把人家的国家搅得天翻地覆,留下一堆屎坑,拍拍屁股走掉了。很有趣的是,伊拉克战争这个巨大的屎坑,也就是八九年前还在人民的话题之中,现在已经完全消失并且被仇穆态度整体替代。

Conscience is a bitch. 都想使劲地压下去忘记,而人的忘记能力也是一个好有趣的功能,你杀的人,已经毁尸灭迹。然而走在街上,你看谁谁都象杀人凶手,分分钟要扑过来攻击你。记得你杀过人埋过尸体的,也就是你自己。

这里说的好就是传统意义上的好。我们不要做好人,我们不要有道德,我们不要做 the fairer sex。一样就可以了。
我倒是觉得men should be better. 他们需要有人告诉他们,他们做得不够。记得以前看过米雪儿奥巴马讲men need to be better. 我十分赞同。

她的意思是 men need to be better than they are now. 想比女性还“好”,呵呵,你们慢慢地爬山吧。有趣的是这话是 Michelle Obama 说的,并没有男人自己觉得更好有什么好的,还是让女人去做无私的好人吧。

郁闷的说什么好啊坏啊的我就不要求了。现在是基本的两点连面子上做不到:
1。说的话ACCOUNTABLE。
2。防止贪污腐败最基本的利益分离。

这到底是解放前还是解放后?跪求共和党保守派给个答案。请你们拆完奥巴马健保后抽空。。。。

我的要求更低,可不可以不要 insult my intelligence, 就算是张口就来的谎言,能不能说得隐秘一点,拐弯一点,不要一边说着一边自己打脸?虽然我蛮享受 Sean Spicer 活蹦乱跳地被打脸,但是替 The Onion 的 staff writers 心疼啊,连 parody 都写不出来了。

Sean Spicer 跟Kellyanne Conway 竞争上岗, 比着无耻.宫斗剧里没见过的大招都出来了. 不是故意要羞辱你的智力,他们表演的观众只有一个:川皇! 你作为围观吃瓜群众看吐了是你不幸。
