Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow
It didn't seem that long ago when Superman was huge, the king of comics, carrying four tightly joined comics (Superman, Adventures of Superman, Action Comics and Man of Steel) that made it pretty much a weekly series, plus there were always his multitude of extracurricular series, from various Elseworld stories to mini-series like "Birthright". It doesn't seem that long ago, but upon further reflection, 'twas actually about a decade past. Yes, I just used 'twas.
Okay, maybe Superman wasn't exactly "king" then, he kind of shared his throne in a kids-from-Narnia kind of way with Batman and Spider-Man who seemed to have an infinite number of series and specials themselves, and of course Wolverine who was rather ubiquitous throughout the 1990's. These days, Superman is starring solo in one book, called "Superman". He's not even the star of Action Comics right now (that'd be Lex Luthor). To put in perspective, Deadpool has at least four titles all his own and is regularly guest starring in more... every month. Fucking Deadpool!
The Superman books you could say had a pretty solid and focused run (with a few exceptions) from 1986 through to approximately the "President Lex"/"Our Worlds At War" period in 2000/2001. The initial '86 post-Crisis John Byrne revamp/depowering revitalized Superman, his world, his supporting cast, (practically everything about him) for a new generation, that carried through to the Dan Jurgens-led era that culminated in the "Death of Superman" and "Reign of the Supermen" which also culminated in media hyper-exposure and the industry-wide speculator boom and bust. Following this there was the "electric Superman" era and the "Superman Red/Superman Blue" malarky, which, with the exception of recent events, is pretty much the low point of 70 years of publishing history. Throughout all of this, there was the "Superman Triangle", the unifying factor that brought the four Superman titles together, even if the writers of each individual series carried their own story for a few months at a time, eventually the titles would start running massive stories once again. However, following the Red/Blue story, DC was trying to make Superman as relevant (ie. million-copy selling) as he was in 1995, which let to a lot of experimentation with creative teams and story structure, and by 2003, the Superman Triangle was gone and one of the titles was dropped, and there really was very little exciting about the character or his titles. Creative teams fluxuated, continuity was relaxed and generally few people knew what to do with him.
Then came Geoff Johns, DC's wonderkid and lover-of-all-things-Silver-Age. His bright idea was to repower Superman to godly levels, restore his pre-Crisis continuity with the Legion of Super-Heroes and, by enlisting his old boss Richard Donner as co-writer, trying to create a loose affiliation with the 1979 Superman film. It sounds horrendous in theory, but it was a nice kick in the pants for big blue, and despite numerous momentum-crippling publishing delays, this resulted in some of the best (non-"All-Star Superman") stories in years. But they were the product of a rather singular vision, and somehow that vision just couldn't sustain itself. It certainly didn't lend itself to other perspectives and James Robinson's sibling title (Adventures of Superman now cancelled, only "Action" and "Superman" remained) was painful at times in his own resurrection of Silver Age ideas. Donner and Johns revamped the Phantom Zone, Bizarro, and Brainiac, introducing (briefly) along the way a new adopted son for Clark and Lois (a Kryptonian child from the Zone), and reintroducing Kandor to the Superman mythos. As good as the stories were, they spat in the face of everything that Byrne, Jurgens and company had built over the years. Superman, the "last son of krypton", was now just one of thousands of Kryptonian orphans. I understand the objective was to try and highlight what makes Superman unique and not just among men, but Supermen, but it had a funny way of going about it. And not funny ha-ha.
In perhaps the biggest miscalculation since the "electric Superman" days a decade before, the remaining two Superman titles went Superman-free. Hey, it worked for "Reign of the Supermen", but that's because Superman was dead, not because he decided to go to another planet (the Kandorians created another planet called "New Krypton"). It was as if DC had no confidence that their premiere character could hold two monthlies and a maxi-series because of the storytelling circumstances they put him in. Johns crafted a rather intriguing idea but abandoned it to other writers (to focus on revamping, yet again, Superman's origin story) and it went off the rails.
I have to be honest, I didn't read any of the "New Krypton" stuff. I loathed James Robinson's work on Superman and wasn't willing to continue with a story that he was now taking the reigns of. Greg Rucka, a favourite writer of mine, took over Action Comics however, but I didn't want to get suckered into having to read other books to follow along, so I abandoned Superman altogether. Until this past week. The trade paperback of "Nightwing and Flamebird" came out and I figured I should give Rucka the benefit of the doubt and see what he did with the situation. The result: none of it's good.
Whether by choice or mandate, the collection (which is four issues plus an annual) is saddled with far too much Kryptonian/Kandorian backstory to be genuinely interesting, and it recalls Christopher Kent (Lois and Clark's briefly adopted son from the Donner story last seen over two years ago and kind of forgotten), now rapidly aging and thrust into the hero role alongside a new character who is implausibly tied to Supergirl, not to mention bringing Lois' father back from the dead and Zod and his cronies from the Phantom Zone as the big bad, and it's all just a spiralling, overwraught, ridiculous mess. Each one of these elements could have made for multiple issues worth of storytelling if Clark or even Lois were the story focus. But Nightwing and Flamebird are two not-ready-for-primetime players put in the lead of DC's longest-running series (even if they were in their own spinoff it would be unappealing reading).
I remember at the beginning of 2010 Dan Didio and other DC hypemen trying to push the "War of the Supermen", the big culmination of the New Krypton saga, as one of the big events of the year. But it seems that, like me, most readers just decided to wait it out and see what the next status quo would be... which unfortunately is currently the "Superman Gump" storyline that even J. Michael Straczynski must be bored with, as he's abandoning it mid-stream. The only "news" on the monthly Superman front is that "Superman's Back In Action" in Action Comics #900 which really isn't news at all, except to say that the character who normally appears in that title will now be normally appearing in it again after an unceremonious two-plus year hiatus.
Bluntly put, Superman is a mess.
So, Second Printers, who do you think could fix him?
Give me a creative team each for Superman and Action Comics.

I agree with you mostly about Johns undoing everything that was great about Post-Crisis Superman, but I did like the New Krypton saga (Post-Johns actually).
I know this is nitpicky but it is something that always annoys me when I read this (It happens a lot) but Adventures of Superman was not canceled, it reverted back to its original name of Superman. Superman (volume 2) was canceled.

I don't have a particular creator in mind, but my advice would be to do what Marvel has done with some of their flagships: go young, and go long. Find a promising young creator, hand him/her Superman and let it ride for a while. Somewhere out there is a 20-something whose ideas of Superman all come from Up Up and Away, which is probably the best non-All Star Supe story of the past ten years. Find that guy/gal and hand him/her a pen.

I'd be happy if the current Action Comics creative team stayed on after Lex's story finished up. Paul Cornell has been doing a great job, and I'd love to see what he does with a Superman book that actually features Superman

I'll echo Bill and say I'd very much love to see Paul Cornell stay on Action even with the return of Superman. It simply is the freshest take within of anything within the Superman franchise in what seems like forever. I haven't been this bored by Superman since the Seagle run.

I just noticed the April solicits for DC that there's a big Doomsday-based event going on that Cornell is going to be immediately saddled with when Superman returns to Action Comics. While I wouldn't have much problem with this if it were an Action/Superman storyline, the fact that it's jumping across multiple titles is putting me off.
As for my own creative team, I'm curious to see what Cornell does when he gets his hands on Superman without editorial edicts.
On the Superman book I admit to a longstanding curiosity to see what Mark Waid would do with him for an extended run (which is his own Holy Grail, he's said). Pair him up with Marco Rudy and Mick Grey (from The Shield series).

FEMA trailers: Environmental Time Bombs?By Jesse Muhammad -Staff Writer- | Last updated: May 21, 2010 - 4:05:04 PM
What's your opinion on this article?
In the wake of Katrina and Rita in 2005, Mr. Chasnoff and his production crew stumbled upon the largest FEMA trailer park based in Baker, Louisiana, which turned out to be a formaldehyde nightmare for hurricane survivors. This gave birth to his documentary, "Renaissance Village," which was named after that particular trailer park.
"After speaking with some of the park's residents, I knew that their stories needed to be told, and I decided to shift the focus of our film from examining the post-Katrina health care situation in Louisiana to life inside a FEMA trailer park," said Mr. Chasnoff, in his testimony on April 28 before the U.S. House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection.
FEMA has sold 100,000 travel trailers used during hurricane recovery efforts despite the concerns of excessive formaldehyde levels. Dr. Herbert, a New Orleans resident, told the committee that he treated patients with symptoms caused by overexposure.
"These people had no prior allergic symptoms before living in travel trailers. It's a problem that's going to be happening over and over again. We have to stop this from being just a Gulf Coast problem to being a national problem" Dr. Hebert said to the committee.
In defense of the agency, FEMA assistant administrator David Garrett told the committee that all trailer purchasers were asked to sign a waiver that they were aware of the dangers of formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable, strong-smelling gas. It is an important industrial chemical used to manufacture building materials and to produce many household products. According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the short term effects of high levels of formaldehyde includes burning sensations of the eyes, nose, and throat; coughing; wheezing; nausea; and skin irritation. Long-term effects of formaldehyde have been linked to nose, lung, and other types of upper respiratory cancer.
The trailer park Renaissance Village was established after both hurricanes ripped through the Gulf Coast. The film was produced over the course of eighteen months on the grounds work from January 2007 to June 2008 and "focuses on five residents desperately trying to reassemble their lives after losing nearly everything in the storms," according to Mr. Chasnoff.
Baker, Louisiana is situated 90 miles North of New Orleans, which saw the greatest impact by floodwaters in 2005. FEMA reportedly spent nearly $2.5 billion to buy trailers, campers and mobile homes for temporary housing and later discovered that formaldehyde was used in the construction of each unit.
"The government knew about the formaldehyde and its danger and chose silence over helping residents, for fear of getting a black eye," said Mr. Chasnoff.
New Orleans native Amy Washington is a witness to this after her family had to stay in a FEMA trailer temporarily after losing her home due to flood damages.
"This is good that Mr. Chasnoff and that doctor (Dr. Herbert) are exposing this because I am sure there is more to uncover. I noticed my children feeling ill more than before and I really didn't know the cause until I started hearing reports of formaldehyde by the news," said Ms. Washington, who now resides in Houston.
Ms. Washington's family resided in a trailer before being able to get to Houston. "It was mentally depressing to stay in a trailer and then on top of that to have these reports circulating about formaldehyde—it made some of us go crazy. Just hearing the words 'FEMA trailers' brings back nightmares for us," she said.
"E-mails pertaining to the presence and dangers of formaldehyde in the trailers, revealed during the July 2007 government oversight committee hearing led by Congressman Henry Waxman of California, signified the deceptive posture taken by FEMA," said Mr. Chasnoff.
He also pointed out that although FEMA established an emergency call number and disseminated 70,000 leaflets to occupants of the FEMA trailers in Renaissance Village, there was a lack of person-to-person contact made by the agency.
"I never witnessed any FEMA representative talking one-on-one, in detail, with any of the residents about the formaldehyde issue. I did see FEMA fliers taped to trailer doors that defined formaldehyde and the symptoms of exposure and advised residents on how to protect themselves. Residents received the majority of their information about the formaldehyde issue from local and national news television. This created even more panic and fear," said Mr. Chasnoff.
In part of his documentary "Renaissance Village", Mr. Chasnoff interviews resident Paul Thomas, who states in the film, "I have never heard of a FEMA representative come back here on this property and come to each individual and let us know that this is what is going to happen. It's always hearsay and 95 percent of the time, it never happens."
"This distrust of the government was not so much a result of eighteen months of working with FEMA, but rather based on decades of racial and socioeconomic injustice experienced by those living in the park," said Mr. Chasnoff.

Two explosions rocked the heart of the Boston Marathon as runners approached the finish line Monday.
Sulphur's David Howard was among five people from Southwest Louisiana running in the event. KPLC spoke to Howard by phone who said he was on the last leg of the marathon at the time the explosions occurred.
"I was about 25 and half miles into the run. I was not close to the finish when it happened. I didn't hear the explosions at all. What I saw was a bunch of ambulances and fire trucks heading that way and like I said, I was probably a mile and a half away when I saw them," said Howard.
Scott Cushing made the trip all the way from Leesville. This was his first time to compete in the Boston Marathon.
"It's surreal ... Just can't believe it happened, especially on a day like this at an international event," said Cushing.
Cushing crossed the finish line about an hour before tragedy struck.
"It was just heart wrenching because my wife and friends had walked exactly where that explosion occurred. Just thinking about how they were only less than an hour away from being in that exact spot when the explosion happened, it was a pretty scary thought," said Cushing.
Cushing said everyone in the area is in disbelief. With security on high alert, businesses closed and people were asked to stay home or in their hotel rooms.
"We were at a Starbucks after we ate. They came and put signs up on the door that they were closing all the businesses, asking people to go home and stay off the streets, don't congregate. Just still thinking there were more explosives out," said Cushing.

It is a shame Steve Jobs died. He could have come up with a new iPhone that includes a breathalyzer that prevents you from making videos if you are too drunk.
As for the themed bathroom, I never got it either. If anything I would want a toliet that is in the opposing teams colors.

I'm of a similar age, I would never post anything like that online either.
And Yost, my options are to laugh or cry. Laughing is more fun. Actually get angry is in there as well, but I usually try to direct that at the parties at fault, which is pretty much the Athletic Department here. I was maybe a little more nasty than funny in the last post with my Moeller questions.

Dennis... I agree with Yost that having you around is great. As I mentioned at least once before, you are a reasonable voice of the opposition with a sense of humor. I thought your comments on Moeller were funny even though I think he got shafted in that whole matter. If he had not been fired then he would probably still be the coach and would have broken most of Bo's records.

In the interest of balance, take a listen to the following. Open it and then minimize because it is chalk full of OSU images. However, the words and sentiment are what Yost talks about when he talks about his 25 favorite things about Michigan Football. Its only about 90 seconds.
Again, minimize as soon as it starts, I don't want you to burn out your retinas.

So I know you ladies have as much courier/delivery woes as me, regardless of where we are in the world, sometimes our lives just have to be made that teeny weeny bit harder.
Now, this wasn't make up I was waiting for; it was my repaired Nintendo Wii. I live on a flat on a hill, and couriers are utterly useless when it comes to finding me.
So I didn't know that the Wii was on its way to me, but I called the service centre today. "It was sent to you three days ago by DHL…" Hmm only a week ago, DHL left a giant parcel for me outside my Nana's back door. Because, breaking her wooden fence is worth not taking a parcel back to a dry, safe depot. Yes it was soggy, no it wasn't remotely safe. Grrrr.
Anyway, so I call up DHL because they couldn't find my address, and I was told that it had been changed to "Home Delivery".
"What's that then?"
"Well, the driver keeps the parcel at his house."
"The driver has my £200 Wii at his personal property?" (I'm not stupid. If they were Royal Mail this would be illegal; you are not supposed to have people's post on your own property).
"Err yeah, here's his home number."
"Right….ring ring….ring ring…ring ring…."
Etc. etc. you know what I mean, this is still going on because no one is picking up the phone. I've never heard of anything so daft in my entire life. If you can't deliver something, you return it to the depot. Is it really that hard?!
Oh BTW, ASOS are offering a £5 off code for a spend if £50. ASOS codes are rarer than a decent courier, so take it up while you can! Type in – WEMISSYOU at the checkout. Enjoy!
(P.S. ASOS use Interlink Couriers, who are actually one of the much better ones.)

Power Line is going very negative.

- Windbag said...
I suppose you are technically correct to say that Power Line is going very negative, but that's like saying the weatherman (no puns intended) is going very negative when he reports that it snowed 30 inches the day before and that all roads are impassable. Obama has surrounded himself with unsavory characters, chosen to attend a church led by a racist fanatic, and embraced extreme left-wing ideologies. To point out those simple facts may be labeled "negative" but thank God somebody is pointing them out.
Making an issue out of Obama's smoking habit is petty, irrelevant, and "very negative," since it has no bearing on the man's political leanings and probable policy stances. Pointing out that he launched his political career from the living room of unrepentant domestic terrorists who have taken violent action in support of their cause is not only fair territory, it's responsible journalism.
Complaining that Power Line is going negative when it reports relevant facts about Obama is like complaining that your car's low gas alarm is going negative when it goes off, warning you to fill up.

Ho Hum.
Every politician I know has a rolodex full of thousands of names.
You know, like Charles Keating. Jack Abramoff, John Yoo, Karl Rove.
If this is the best the right can do it won't have much impact.
And besides, McCain will have to overcome the Bush regime, a giant cluster mess of immense proportions.
Not a good year to be a voter.
- Balfegor said...
When Illinois State Senator Alice Palmer decided to retire in 1995, she hand-picked local left-winger Barack Obama as her successor. In order to introduce Obama to influential liberals in the district, she held a function at the home of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.
This doesn't quite square with the accounts I've read elsewhere. See here for example:
The day after New Year's 1996, operatives for Barack Obama filed into a barren hearing room of the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners.
There they began the tedious process of challenging hundreds of signatures on the nominating petitions of state Sen. Alice Palmer, the longtime progressive activist from the city's South Side. And they kept challenging petitions until every one of Obama's four Democratic primary rivals was forced off the ballot.
That makes it sound like Alice Palmer didn't so much "decide" to "retire" and "hand pick" Obama as her successor, as find that she (and all Obama's other opponents) had been kicked off the ballot thanks to Obama's procedural machinations. No one left to run but Obama, so Obama became her successor by default.
- Richard Fagin said...
You didn't think The New York Times was going to dig up Obama's connections to graying 60s radicals, did you? They're too busy investigating Sen. McCain's extraordinarily bad temper.
It is not much of a stretch to believe that Power Line and similar blogs may have saved the 2004 election for Bush despite all out war having been declared on him by The Times and most of the rest of the MSM. Power Line et al. may perform the same service to the country this year: at least information about one candiate that large media institutions continue to ignore is being put in the public view.
I'm still waiting for the Keating Five scandal to get rehashed and have said so previously in these comments.
- joe said...
Yo, Save the Rustbelt:
Keep whistling past the graveyard.
If you think these character issues won't resonate with the Middle America voter, you are delirious.
But initially, what this does is give Hillary an argument to grab super delegates - that nObama is unelectable.

When it comes to politics the concept of negativity sometimes depends on whose ox is being gored.
- Paul Zrimsek said...
Every politician I know has a rolodex full of thousands of names.
And every President-elect has several thousand Executive Branch positions to fill, which is one of the reasons for keeping the Rolodex handy-- and a good reason for voter to want to know what sort of people are in the Rolodex. (You did mention Yoo and Rove: legitimate issues, right?)
- Windbag said...
Windbag, good points, but I'm not sure Ann is actually complaining...
I'm not sure either, and I was careful to not accuse her of it. The phrase "very negative" implies it, but there is enough doubt, so the benefit of that doubt wins.
- Gustavus said...
My understanding is that Palmer decided to run for Congress after Mel Reynolds resigned and so anointed Obama her successor as state senator. When Palmer lost the special election to Jesse Jackson, Jr., she asked Obama to withdraw from the state senate primary race so she could have her seat back. He refused, and then the signature battle ensued.
- former law student said...
Gustavus is right. After Congressman Mel Reynolds was indicted for having sex with an underaged girl, Alice Palmer gave up her State Senate seat to run against him, endorsing Obama as her replacement. When she lost the special election, she hurriedly tried to get enough signatures on nominating petitions so she could run again. Instead of knocking on doors and getting actual signatures of voters, her petition circulators had apparently filled out most of the names during a "round table" party, where each circulator writes down a name, then passes the petition to the next circulator, etc. This little bit of electoral fraud was easily challenged.

The more interesting point, is the utter cluelessness of the Obama campaign and of Obama himself to suppose that these close "associations" with racists, terrorists and other anti-American radicals, that went on for years and years would not be an issue. They seem to be genuinely offended and even surprised that people would care about these types of things.
I don't know about the actual guilt by association thing as being a true reflection of character when it comes to politicians who have a distinct lack of "character" and morals......BUT I do know I don't think someone this clueless is a good choice for President.

I don't know guys. I think the Conservative/Liberatarian blogosphere are being too harsh on Senator Obama.
I mean, if a Republican politician were running for president, and he were found to associate with Klansmen, John Birchers, and one or two ex-Fred Phelps associates, plus have a pastor who sounds like Tokyo Rose, I don't think one SINGLE Democrat would point this out and question it.
I really don't.

DBQ - Good comments. I think the general frame of mind in the Obama braintrust was that the media LOVED Black Messiah and wouldn't dig too deeply...and except for the Rev Wright problem - which required a deflection to a "soaring speech on the REAL PROBLEM of race, not Wright" - the rest could be pawned off as "youthful intellectual curiosity" or as the patented Axelrod "Distractions From The True Issues That Only Barack Himself Could State Were Legitimate Issues."
Kudos to Team Obama for bullying the press into reverential silence about and flaws in the life or associations of the Great Man Himself - until very recently! Where things came up, even his fellow rival candidates were reluctant to break with the Black Moses/Black Messiah narrative of black and Jewish media, the Ned Lamont crowd, hard Left Progressives with Money.
(For fear of alienating their black and progressive Party constituents that had determined under identity politics Barack was racially and through victmhood deserving of the highest deference and praise, and any attacks on him woud be "dragging a talented black man of extraordinary promise, down...)
When things in Obama's past were brought up, they were brought up by the media mainly to debunk as "important". Like the few days of Rezko then dismissed as a "no nevermind, perhaps Barack should have been more wary, but he is so nice and wonderful that such small mistakes happen, as people like Rezko grasp his Greatness and wish to help!"
Some other negatives that will come out:
1. Obama has been mentored by three families of Jewish Billionaires since the early 80s. He and his wife have been given the patronage of careers they control through their dominance of U of Chicago's board of Trustees and placement of other up and coming blacks they also mentored like Valerie Jarrett. For almost 20 years, the Obamas have been squired in the most Elite circles.
This indicates that Obama is no threat to Israel and likely doesn't believe a word of what his NOI associates, Muslim contacts, or what Rev. Wright says other than his general contempt for bitter, less educated non-black masses. Obama was placed at Trinity to help "authenticate" this raised by whites lad with no slavery in his past.
2. An interesting thing is that Obama's speech of Great Judgment, opposing going against Iraq, was made by the usual Lefties at the same time, along with such leaders of Great Judgement as Fidel Castro, bin Laden, Vladimir Putin, and Saddam himself.
In Obama's case, he had been diffident about joining a rally attended by the Old Left until he was persuaded by Marilyn Katz and Bettylu Saltzman. Katz was a former SDS member tight with Bill Ayer and Bernadette Dohrn. Bettylu was one of Baracks Jewish sugar-mommas, worth hundreds of millions, but not in the Crown and Pritzker league of Obama patrons, but still a big donor. She was also a radical in her youth.
Obama's speech, which he backtracked from and took off his website when things were going well in 2003-4, then put up agains when things went South for Bush and his Bumblers, appears not to be the product of his Great Judgment, but two radical women from the 60s with hard Left Democrat Party clout dragging him, but hardly kicking and screaming, to give it.
3. Very little has been said about Obama's seeking to get a Muslim roomate while at Columbia, and his trip with that roomate to Pakistan.
4. While in Hawaii, Obama selected a "mentor black man" he met with regularly who happened to have been a black intellectual prominent in the American Communist Party and a Stalinist.
5. Obama, by anecdotes, appeared to gravitate towards a solid Leftist course of instruction at his California transfer college and Columbia. He refuses to release what courses he took, his thesises, his instructors.
6. The media has sort of sealed up about the Rep Davis "that boy should not be near the button" incident. With Davis's "boy" comment apologized for, it's swept under the rug. But it may come up again because according to Davis, Obama froze in an American Leadership exercise when he was called on to make decisions as a potential Commander in Chief in a nuclear crisis simulation.
This followed Obama's famous moment in an early debate where the question was a hypothetical - the US was attacked by two smuggled nukes on ships, destroying two cities, what would each candidate do. Obama went into "caregiver mode" saying his main concern was "helping the 1st responders meet people's needs" while the other Democrat candidates answering after Obama said we were at war, their first priority was to defend the nation and neutralize the attacker.
7. The Republicans are assembling a case for independents and Reagan Democrats that McCains record does show bipartisanship and reaching across the isle, sometimes to McCains political damage. And they are assembling Obama's voting record showing his is a consistent hard-left liberal who Never tried to lead in a bipartisan manner as a state senator and as a 2-year Senator before he left to campaign full time. In short, all Obama's present "transformational, transcending old politics" platitudes folded into his "soaring oratory" is just David Axelrod bullshit thrown out to dress up and put lipstick on an inflexible hardcore ideologue pig.
8. Analysis is going on by Hillary's camp and McCains camp about the "pied piper" nature of Obama's speeches - and how they do not match up with Obama's being a hestitant, stumbling spontaneous speaker and decision-maker.
Who are his writers, stylists, image-makers behind the curtain? And what sort of speech coaching has he received to template him after the cadences, crowd control, "command voice" of powerful angry Black Reverends of the highest claimed moral authority that blacks, youth, guilty whites eat up? And who was the genius that combined that with Obama's "supersmart, Harvard Law Review brillant professor voice of intellectual revelation"? Kids are eating up the Saint Martin clone/Professor Knows All product.
Team Axlerod test-marketed their black product with Deval Patrick and several black mayors. Obama is not plagarizing Patrick and the rest them in his speeches, just using tried and true Axlerod boilerplate speech product designed for a black man's lips.
Outside his black clients, Axelrod was also the guy who remade Paul Simon from a hardcore Lefty to the "Bow-tied Professor" and also
the leader of the Team behind "Slick" John Edwards noted 2004 "new politics" speechifying.
Team Axlerod was also hired to make Elliot Spitzer "Our 1st Likely Jewish President" likeable and articulate - a herculean task - in his gubenatorial contest. It worked, Axelrod's team of media and image consultants made Spitzer palatable to voters to get a massive vote -then Spitzer cut them loose and showed his true self....
Oppo research needs to track Obama's schtick back. The inexperienced but smart and black Obama is the best raw material Team Axelrod has ever had to work with, though. Better than Breck Boy Edwards, better than Deval Patrick - though he guided both to euphoric fan voter following.
Lots of stuff out there on Obama, and as Michelle Obama is marketed by Team Axelrod as Baracks senior policy advisor, manager of campaign staff - scrutiny in her life is hardly off limits by the social convention we basically stick to of "leave the family not part of the political team out of it".
The most productive negatives in Obama's case are:
1. Looking at his elitist and radical mentors that have nourished him and his wife since the early 90s, in the most exclusive and rarified of social circles.
2. Examining his efforts at the same time to be seen as "authentic black" through his associations with Wright, NOI, and other black bigots and racists.
3. Deconstructing Team Axelrod and showing Obama's brilliant speeches are not springing from his, but his being a wonderful empty vessel for a Team Axelrod product test-marketed for a decade with other black clients.
4. Serious analysis of Obama's Leftist beliefs and voting record vs. his claims that he is a bipartisan, transcending new sort of politician who will bring us all together with his vast intellect and Greatness.

Thank God Obama is too young, Drill SGT, because he's the kind of guy who would've schmoozed with Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, back in the day.

"Don't need a power line to know which way the wind blows."
No, but Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg, convicted Weather Underground terrorists, were pardoned by Hillary's co-president Bill Clinton at the end of their second term. Does anyone know why the Clinton wind just seemed to blow Evans and Rosenberg out of prison? Hillary says any question is fair game but claims she knows nothing about the pardons.
Something about her answer smells slightly off.
- Meade said...
"On May 11, 1985, she was arrested again, charged and then convicted of acquiring weapons, fake IDs and safe houses, and of terrorist actions. Her targets included the U.S. Capitol Building, the National War College, the Navy Yard Computer Center, the Navy Yard Officers Club, Israeli Aircraft Industries, the FBI and the New York Patrolman's Benevolent Association. In her possession were 740 pounds of dynamite. Evans was sentenced to 40 years in prison. ... As the last hours of the Clinton era expired, Linda Evans was freed. It was 24 years shy of her full sentence." [Salon, 9/4/01]
- Revenant said...
Does anyone know why the Clinton wind just seemed to blow Evans and Rosenberg out of prison? Hillary says any question is fair game but claims she knows nothing about the pardons.
Well, in her defense those two pardons were some of the ones her brothers weren't bribed to arrange with her hubby, so she might not have known about them. Maybe Bill just figured Linda and Susan would put out if he got them out of prison.
In any case, I think Hillary and Barack should debate this issue, because I can't imagine a better 2008 campaign slogan than "I have slightly fewer terrorist friends than my opponent".

Speaking of Linux specific games, made FOR Linux, not vampiring other platform's game through emulation. Otherwise you can say... Mame !

The 2013 calendar year has been another exciting time for athletes, but it's had a few devastating events.
From the CMU men's soccer team winning their first RMAC tournament championship, to the Montrose Indians football team remaining at the top of the rankings the majority of the season and earning their keep at Mile High, even to GJHS wide receiver and starting free safety Jack Parsons tearing his ACL in the first round of the playoffs, 2013 has been filled with ups and downs, and if our list was endless we could include them all.
However, 11 Sports had to narrow it down. To close out the year, we put together the top 11 sports stories of 2013 - from the heartbreaks to the highlights.
11. The players of the Grand Junction Rockies grew on the hearts of many baseball fans in the community, and Raimel Tapia was no exception. The 19-year-old out of the Dominican Republic quickly became a fan favorite, and his talent only helped his case.
On July 31st, Tapia set a new franchise record with a 28-game hitting streak, topping the 27 set by David Dahl during the Rockies inaugural season. Tapia later added one more game to set the bar at 29, just three games away from the Pioneer League record which is set at 32.
10. The well-known Joe Ramunno returned to the helm of the Palisade Bulldogs football program. His history with the team is familiar to many. Under his coaching, the Bulldogs brought home four consecutive state titles from '94-'97. He later spent 14 years with CMU before going back to his old stomping grounds, first as assistant, then as head coach.
Coach Ramunno brought a fresh vision to the team as they went on to take the Western Slope League title for the first time in seven seasons and advance into the quarterfinals of the playoffs.
9. Montrose Indians senior Kala Keltz faced an uphill battle during the second round of the 4A girls golf state championship, but it was nothing that she couldn't handle.
Keltz started the second day of competition in fourth place but quickly erased a two-stroke deficit and ended the round 2-under-par 70 to earn a comeback victory for the Class 4A girls golf state title. The only other champ from this side of Colorado came in 1988, when Fruita Monument's McKenzie Dyslin claimed an All-Class title.
8. The Fruita Monument volleyball team had one of their best seasons in over 30 years. They put out two 7-game win streaks and took the SWL title. The Lady Wildcats also earned the rights to host regionals for the first time in school history.
After coming away with the two wins, they earned a ticket to be one of just 12 teams to enter the state tournament. Even though they couldn't finish on top, they walked away proud of their accomplishments.
7. Right-handed pitcher Jonathan Gray signed with the Colorado Rockies as the third overall draft pick and made his professional debut with the Grand Junction Rockies. Though he had a rough first outing, it wouldn't take long for the former University of Oklahoma pitcher to find his A-game.
In his last start for GJ, Gray went five innings, giving up just one run while hitting upwards of 100 miles per hour. That performance only garnered more attention, and just 22 days after his debut, Gray skipped a level and was promoted to High-A Modesto.
After his fifth game, he was shut down. Now he's on the fast track to the majors as Colorado's #1 prospect.
6. Innovative freestyle snowmobiler Caleb Moore passed away as a result of an injury suffered during a crash at the X-Games, marking the first death in the Winter X Games.
The 25-year-old was attempting a backflip in the freestyle event when the ski tips caught and the snowmobile rolled over him. He went to the hospital for a concussion, but complications involving his brain arose, and he passed away just days later.
Caleb's brother Colten competed in the same competitions, he will continue to ride in the memory of his brother. The next edition of the Winter X Games is coming up in less than a month from January 23rd-January 26th. The snowmobile freestyle event will be back for the games in 2014, just with added safety precautions.
5. Bill Fanning was a Colorado baseball legend, and on February 8th, 2013, at the age of 91, he passed away. He was a father, friend, teacher, and coach, that's how family and friends remembered the legend.
For 35 seasons he served as the head baseball coach at Grand Junction High, including 21 playoff appearances, 3 state, championships, and 467 total wins - becoming the first coach to accrue over 400 wins in the entire state.
Over the years he was inducted into numerous halls of fame, including the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame and National High School Sports Hall of Fame.
4. The historic season of the CMU Lady Mavericks basketball team attracted hundreds. Under first-year head coach Taylor Wagner, the ladies had a huge turnaround from the previous year. They went on an 18-game win streak to start off play, hosted and won both the RMAC Tournament Championship and South Central Regional, and made their first ever trip to the NCAA Division II Elite 8.
In the end the Lady Mavericks finished 31-2 with a #8 national ranking and a spot in the school history books.
3. Western Slope wrestling is consistently among the best in the state, and this year was no exception. Twenty-two athletes placed in the top 6 at the state tournament, three finished with a state title.
Paonia's sophomore standout Jesse Reed was a repeat champion in his class, while his team claimed the 2A mat title.
Palisade's junior Dalton Hannigan represented the Bulldogs in the 126's and earned the first individual state title coming from the school in 10 years.
Last but certainly not least, Grand Junction sophomore Jacob Trujillo competed against familiar foe in Fruita's Isaac Rodriguez and came away with the win. He went on to become an All-American and finish with a perfect record on the season.
2. Coming in at number two is a story that shook an entire town. In early September three Cedaredge athletes - Reid Gates, Tyler Cooper, and Aaron Henrie - turned on a generator to watch movies in a camper inside a shed. After time carbon monoxide from the generator filled the camper and turned deadly.
All three suffered carbon monoxide poisoning. Tyler and Aaron later recovered, but Reid passed away just one day after the incident.
The 17-year-old was a gifted athlete. He had just finished his junior year as a state champion in football and high jump. On top of that, he was a straight-A student, planning to enroll at the Air Force Academy after graduation.
He was a young man loved by many. His team, teachers, and friends all talked highly of him, and through the unexpected everyone in that community came together to support his family and to support a Bruins team that had just lost their captain and leader in the midst of a new season.
Today Tyler and Aaron continue their athletic endeavors, playing basketball for the Bruins.
1. The top sports story of 2013 took place in Paonia - a town with less than 2,000 people. For the first time since 1959 the 1A Paonia Eagles football team captured a state title.
Like any accomplishment of this nature, it was not an easy task. These guys came in to the season a bit underestimated because of the talent they were up against in the Western Slope League - reigning state champion Cedaredge and constant threat in the playoffs Hotchkiss.
For 4 consecutive years the Eagles finished third in the conference, but 2013 marked a fresh start. Former assistant Brent McCrae stepped up as the head coach, and he was ready to take the team to the top.
Their only loss came early in the season to Centauri. From that day on Paonia never let up, cruising to 10 straight victories including the best victory of all at the state level - coming in front of their home crowd at Paonia Town Park.
Now for years down the road 2013 will be the year that every sports fan in that community looks back on.

I'm so happy to be at the bookstore today. I'm usually happy to be here, but today, the fact that it's warm is a big added benefit!

A couple of areas that were stocked with some particularly nice books are gardening, literature, and history. Good new arrivals are not limited to those subjects by any means.
We have a big selection of audio books on tape. There are many good titles and we have books for both children and adults. The price - only $1.00!
Art, Teen Fiction, and Black History continue in the spotlight.

Bear and turkey seasons close May 31
Mandatory Reporting
Thanks to all hunters who reported their 2012 tags on time. Hunters who did not report 2012 deer and elk tags on time will pay a $25 penalty fee when they purchase a 2014 hunting license. More information on reporting.
Wolves and coyotes can look alike
Most wolves in the state today are in northeast Oregon but a few have dispersed further west and south. Wolves are protected by state and/or federal law and it is unlawful to shoot them. Coyote hunters need to take extra care to identify their target as wolves can look like coyotes, especially wolf pups in the mid-summer and fall. ODFW appreciates hunters' assistance to establish wolves' presence in Oregon; please report any wolf sightings or wolf sign to ODFW using the online reporting system.
Use the Oregon Hunting Map to see where to hunt.
Hunting maps for Harney County
Cougar - Hunting is open. Populations are healthy and distributed throughout the district in any area with a big game prey base. Successful hunters must check-in cougars no more than 10 days after harvest; please bring cougar in thawed and with mouth propped open for easier tissue sampling, teeth collection and tagging.
Coyote - Populations are fairly high throughout Harney County. They will be widely scattered on breeding territories this time of year. Barking can be very effective for locating coyotes during the breeding season. Be aware that bobcats and cougars may respond to predator calls, and separate licensing and open season limitations exist for these species.
Ground Squirrels - These are becoming more active on warmer days. Be sure to obtain permission when entering private lands.
Turkey – Best prospects are in the southern half of the Keno Unit. Turkey hunting is restricted by bird distribution to the Keno Unit. Hunting access is good in the southern portions of the Keno Unit as a result of low snow pack levels over winter. This area is predominantly either open to hunt private timberland or BLM land. Areas to check for turkey activity are south of Hwy 66 and west of the Klamath River Canyon to Copco Road. Turkeys can also be found north of Hwy 66 around Johnson Prairie. In addition to natural reproduction which is expected to be at or slightly below normal this year, supplemental releases of turkeys which were removed from populated areas in southwest Oregon due to agricultural damage and nuisance animal complaints were released in the Keno Unit. Hunters are asked to please contact the local ODFW district office in Klamath Falls at 541-883-5732 if a banded turkey is harvested. This information will be used only to track the harvest of released versus naturally reproducing birds. Season closes May 31.
Ground Squirrels – Ground squirrels and marmots are emerging now with the nice weather. Best prospects are on private lands although good opportunities exist on some public lands as well. Because of the damage these rodents cause to agricultural lands, many landowners allow access for those willing to ask.
Cougar - Hunting is open. Populations are healthy and distributed throughout the district in any area with a big game prey base. Big game are now leaving concentrated winter ranges as snow recedes and summer habitats become available and cougars will follow this seasonal movement of their prey base. Don't forget successful hunters must check-in cougars no more than 10 days after harvest; please bring cougar in thawed and with mouth propped open so that field staff can quickly process the animal and get you on your way.
Coyote - Are at a relatively low level in their natural population cycles, however good calling opportunities still exist. Focus on low lying areas where grasses and forbs are beginning to green up and ground squirrels are emerging. Coyotes may also be congregated around cattle feed lots or where cattle are calving. Stand hunting or active calling may both be effective in these areas. Hunters are reminded to ask permission before entering private lands.

Overnight camping is not allowed on the Miller Island Unit. Discharge of firearms is prohibited except by permit. If you have any questions, please contact Klamath Wildlife Area at (541) 883-5734 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cougar - Hunting is open. Populations are healthy due to good habitat and prey base. All winter range road closures have ended. If hunters can find a fresh cougar kill calling within a ½ mile of that kill can be very effective.
Coyote - Numbers appear to be increasing throughout the county. With few exceptions pups are starting to leave the den but are not straying far. Because of the pups, adults are still very territorial and this time of year coyote vocalizations are more effective than prey distress calls.
Squirrels –Belding Ground Squirrels are active, with the best hunting opportunities on sunny calm days. Hunters are reminded that all hunting opportunities are on private land and permission is required before hunting.
This section was updated on May 28, 2013
Parking permits are now required on all vehicles. Hunters get the permit free with the purchase of their annual hunting license.
Discharging firearms is prohibited, except by special permit.

Successful hunters must check-in cougars no more than 10 days after harvest; please bring cougar in thawed and with mouth propped open for easier tissue sampling, teeth collection and tagging.
Coyote – The coyotes have become very call shy. This time of year, howling and pup distress calls can be effective. Cattle calving areas tend to draw coyotes but be sure to ask permission to hunt on private land.

Clarett indicted on robbery charges
By Bruce Cadwallader
Columbus Dispatch
Former Ohio State football player Maurice Clarett was indicted today on two counts of aggravated robbery and five other counts stemming from a Jan. 1 incident.
Clarett is accused of robbing two people at gunpoint early on the morning of Jan. 1 behind The Opium Lounge, 346 S. High St. The manager of the bar told Columbus police that she saw a confrontation in which Clarett demanded money and property. The manager identified Clarett by name before he fled in a white sport-utility vehicle, Columbus police have said.
Authorities are looking for two other men who might have been involved in the crime.
"Part of the delay with the indictment was attempts to identify those individuals," Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien said in announcing the charges against Clarett today. "I can tell you that investigation continues and they will be identified."
Clarett, 22, of Youngstown, will be ordered to appear in Franklin County Common Pleas Court on Feb. 24 to enter a plea and have bond set. He remains free on $50,000 bail that was set in Municipal Court on Jan. 4, the day after he turned himself in at the county jail.
The indictment filed today listed seven charges: two of aggravated robbery, two each of lesser robbery charges and one of carrying a concealed weapon.
If convicted of the toughest charges -- the two aggravated robbery ones, with specifications that a gun was used, and the concealed-carry count -- Clarett could be sentenced to a maximum of 25 years in prison.
Clarett could not be reached today. His attorneys, William Settina and Robert Krapenc, both of Columbus, said he denies every allegation.
"Mr. Clarett and his family request your prayers at this most difficult time and ask that you reserve judgment," they said in a written statement.
Bar patrons Tywona Douglas and Lucas Nyarko told police Clarett approached them about 1:45 a.m. and appeared to be drunk or using drugs. He lifted his shirt and showed a handgun in his waistband, saying "I don't want to pop you."
Clarett helped lead Ohio State to a national championship in 2002 at the Fiesta Bowl.
He quit OSU and unsuccessfully sued the National Football League in his attempt to enter the 2004 draft. He eventually was drafted by the Denver Broncos but was released during training camp.
He was next rumored to be signing a contract to play football in the arena league or in Europe, but he was charged.

A recent investigation that included digging in a resident's yard for possible human remains may have spawned a scam that targets seniors, Roseville police warned Friday.
According to police, several residents received a letter, purportedly from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, that suggests the body of former Teamsters leader James Hoffa is buried in the yard of the letter's recipient.
The letter claims the recent search of a home by Roseville police on Florida Street was only a ruse to mislead media, and the real site authorities want to investigate is in the homeowner's yard.
"We have found an anomaly in that area of your yard that coincided with the information the source gave us," the letter reads. "… Once we get our clearance from the local utility companies in that area, we will be contacting you to arrange a suitable time frame in which we can covertly dig up our samples."
The letter claims the DEQ is working with the U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI on the case.
None of it is true, Roseville police said.
"It is our belief that the letters … are being sent out as a ruse to lure the homeowner out of their home to inspect the alleged grave site while an accomplice enters the home to rob whatever valuables are readily available," Roseville police Chief James Berlin wrote in a news release.
Berlin said residents should not allow themselves to be lured out of their homes, and they should contact police immediately if anybody approaches them about investigating the Hoffa case.

Apple Asks Judge To Shutter Psystar's Clone Unit 346
CWmike writes "Apple wants a federal judge to shut down Psystar's Mac clone operation and order the company to pay more than $2.1 million in damages, according to court documents. The move was the first by Apple since US District Court Judge William Alsup ruled that Psystar violated Apple's copyright and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act when it installed Mac OS X on clones it sold. Alsup's Nov. 13 order, which granted Apple's motion for summary judgment and quashed Psystar's similar request, was a crushing blow to the Florida company's legal campaign. In a motion filed Monday, Apple asked Alsup to grant a permanent injunction that would force Psystar to stop selling any computer bundled with Mac OS X; using, selling or even owning software that lets it crack Apple's OS encryption key to trick Mac OS X to run on non-Apple hardware; and 'inducing, aiding or inducing others in infringing Apple's copyright.'" Groklaw has summarized Apple's request as well, and noted that Apple has also filed a motion to dismiss Psystar's litigation in Florida (or transfer it to California, where the above injunction was filed).

Cirque du Soleil stellt Pressemappen mit Informationen zu den verschiedenen Shows und über das Unternehmen zur Verfügung.
Alles begann in Kanada, genauer gesagt in Baie-Saint-Paul, einer Kleinstadt in der Nähe von Quebec. Anfang der Achtziger begann dort eine bunte Truppe von Stelzenläufern, Jongleuren, Tänzern, Feuerschluckern und Musikern, die Straßen unsicher zu machen. Die Kleinkunstgruppe um Gilles Ste-Croix nannte sich "Les Échassiers de Baie-Saint-Paul" (Die Stelzenläufer von Baie-Saint-Paul). Schon damals waren die Einwohner beeindruckt und begeistert von den jungen Künstlern, darunter Guy Laliberté, der spätere Gründer und Leiter des Cirque du Soleil.
Patrice Besombes started out studying drama in Tours, France, before discovering lighting as his métier and dance as the world he wanted to bring it to.
As Technical Director of the Maison de la Danse de Lyon, the self-taught Patrice developed his approach through the work he did with the emerging – and varied – generation of French choreographers of the early 1980s, including Catherine Diverrès, Dominique Boivin and Kitsou Dubois. He designed the lighting for Benjamin Millepied's On the Other Side for the New York City Ballet, as well as Triad and Amoveo for the Paris Opera. He also worked with the American choreographer Carolyn Carlson, whose Signes is still in the repertory of the Ballet National de Paris.
Patrice participated in the International Dance Festival in Montpellier and the Vienna Jazz Festival, joining Philippe Decouflé's company DCA in 1993, first as stage manager on Petites pièces montées and Decodex. He slowly gravitated toward lighting with such DCA productions as Denise, the ceremonies of the 50th Cannes International Film Festival, Marguerite, Shazam!, Triton, Solo, Iris, Sombreros and Octopus.
When he creates tableaux of light for the theatre, Patrice makes extensive use of cinema techniques. Inspired by the book Des lumières et des ombres by Henri Alekan, one of the greatest French cinematographers, Patrice loves to work on faces – sculpting them with light to capture their expressions.
"Light is essential to the image and its propagation, especially in entertainment and film," says Patrice, who is working with Cirque du Soleil for the first time. "What's new in IRIS is the way the artists light themselves by carrying their own lights."
Patrice Besombes was born in Saumur, France.

A member of the National Democratic Congress says the presidential election petition by three leading members of the New Patriotic Party will be thrown out because it is baseless.
Murtala Mohammed who is also a Member of Parliament for Nantong, said on Joy FM's Newsfile programme Saturday that the Supreme Court is not like the Alisa Hotel or Opera Square where the NPP leaders will pontificate about alleged fraud in the 2012 elections and not be subjected to strict proof.
"This case, they have no case. They are going to be defeated. Their case is going to be thrown out because the law court is not Alisa Hotel where you hold press conferences .The law court is not Opera Square. The law court is where serious minds are considered and where you must provide evidence, you just don't make allegations. You will be forced to provide evidence and failure to do so, the case will be thrown out," he stated.
He was commenting on the presidential election petition case which is currently before the Supreme Court and which will be at full throttle after the initial motions from all parties have been decided.
The Electoral Commission in its response to the further particulars the petitioners presented stated categorically that all voters in the 2012 election were verified before they voted.
The petitioners- Nana Akufo-Addo, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey had cited as one of the irregularities, failure by presiding officers to ensure that all voters were verified before voting.
Whilst the EC completely rejected the claim by the petitioners, the third respondent which is the National Democratic Congress admits that people may have voted without being verified but they were quick to add that voting without verification is not necessarily against the law.
Kweku Kwarteng, who is NPP Member of Parliament for Obuasi, also on the Newsfile, found as curious the contradiction between the response by the EC and that of the NDC on the issue on verification.
He said it was to be expected for the EC to take the position they did because they had set the ground rules for the 2012 election, one of which was "no verification, no vote."
Quoting copiously from CI 75, the law that governed the organisation of the 2012 election, Kwarteng insisted nobody was to be allowed to vote without going through verification but they have evidence to show thousands of voters were allowed to vote without going through the verification process.
He said they will be putting this evidence before the courts when hearing begins.
But Murtala Mohammed insists the NPP has no evidence to show for anything.
"Before you go to court, you should have been convinced that I am going to court on this [evidence]. You can't allege without having any evidence. What the NPP did is that let's put out the allegation and let's begin to fish for evidence," he stated.
He said the Supreme Law of the land allows for people to vote without verification and any other law will be inferior to the constitution.

Union shops in the private sector have dwindled in recent decades. Now, public union leaders across the country worry that they're losing political clout, bargaining power and members. That raises questions about whether unions fallen victim to their own success, and who needs unions.
