Puppet Master
Jason Strudwick
May 07 2013 12:25PM
When Paul MacLean was named head coach of the Ottawa Senators, many people felt he was put in place to take a lot of heat. The team seemed to be in rebuilding mode. Many young players would be in the lineup. Winning seasons did not seem to be right in the future.
He took that team into the playoffs last year and has done it again this year. They play very well as a team. They are an organized group of five players on the ice.
Even this year when the team suffered major injuries, Paul MacLean kept them from drowning. When most teams lose their stud defenceman (Karlsson) and top center (Spezza) their ship sinks. Somehow MacLean kept them going and got them into the playoffs.
He is a character. He always seems to have a funny line for the media or a quick one liner. He has a big bushy mustache and a unique look. I would think the players really like playing for him and it shows on the ice.
My producer Marc Majeau put it best I think. He is the Columbo of hockey coaches.
At times he may look or act like he doesn't know what is going on but the opposite is the truth. He is very shrewd and is playing the Canadians like a puppet master players the strings of his favorite doll. I love how he has got all of the Canadians rattled!
When Eric Gryba hit Montreal's Lars Eller (a hit I think that was totally legal), Paul MacLean played it perfectly. In his news conference he referred to Raphael Diaz, the Habs player who passed the puck as, "#61". He said the hit was legal and really just stirred up the Habs.
They took the bait. Of course they are going to come to the defence of one of their injured teammates in the media but I think they got distracted. Brandon Prust referred to MacLean as a "Bug eyed, fat walrus."
They next thing you know MacLean is talking about that to the media when asked. Although it may seem that he was caught off guard, I guarantee he was ready for the question and had his answer ready. Just another way to help the Habs gets distracted.
The topper for me came in Sunday night's game. Paul calls a timeout with seventeen seconds left! What a prick move to do. The Sens were killing the Habs and it was just delaying the inevitable.
MacLean did it to throw the Habs off their game even more. There had been a lot of fights before this point and he knew emotions were running high. Calling a timeout in that situation is uncalled for and quite honestly just wrong. But by doing it he got what he wanted, another response from an emotional head coach of the Habs, Michelle Therien.
He was losing it. Therrien kept looking over at the Sens bench, getting madder by the second. In his post-game scrum, Therrien made it clear that he did not respect that timeout call. I don't blame him, I would have been upset as well. The problem for Therrien is that this is all organized by the Puppet Master, Paul MacLean.
MacLean wants the Habs to lose focus. After the puck drops, Josh Gorges tries to shoot the puck at a Sens player. Gorges is one of the leaders of that team. If he is rattled how do you think the rest of the team feels?
The challenge for the Canadians is to refocus. This series is far from over. There are down by one game in a best of seven, long ways to go. But how should or can the Habs regroup.
It starts with head coach Therrien. If I were him I would have sat down with my team today and discussed how the game ended. The brawl and fights wouldn't have been my issue. I would have discussed out team's reaction to the time out and the hit on Eller.
He needs to regain control of the team. Letting out frustration with some fights and dirty play isn't the end of the world. It might even relax the guys. But now Therrien needs to make them understand that this is the playoffs and both coaches and players can't lose sight of their goal, winning the series.
The veterans in the room like Gionta, Moen and Ryder need to have a similar discussion with their teammates. Do not react to what the Sens are doing. Initiate and make them react to us. Simple to say and harder to do.
I understand the response by the Habs. At this point in the year it just won't win you games by getting so rattled. They need to refocus in a hurry or in less than a week they will have lots of time to focus about their mistakes in during the summer.
Lets get physical
Wow. If you have not been watching the series between the Blues and Kings you have been missing some great hockey. They are pounding each other into the ground. If I am the winning coach heading into the next round I am really wondering what my team has left in the tank. This one will go seven games, won't be much time to rest.
I hope it goes seven!

Odd... but I can't seem to find the name Anderson on here anywhere.
Must be a mistake.
i think he is probably a very good coach, but the time out call could just add unnecessary fuel to the fire and give the canadiens something to rally around. i'm really hoping the canadiens can rebound tonight. i have to say i am still pissed watching anderson dominate in net game after game and wondering why the heck we didn't go after him instead of khabby.
Not sure if Michelle Therrien was a typo or intentional--I hope it was the latter!
May 07 2013, 01:12PM
Normally I would agree with you Jason but the way Therrien allowed his players to act was embarassing so the timeout actually dis not bother me at all.
Also, as someone who doesn't watch alot of PK Subban, the way he acted in this game was a real eye opener for me. With all the rumours about this guy he generally gets the benefit of the doubt but I am beginning to think where there's smoke, there might be fire.
How the hell did Rene Bourque, PK Subban, and others avoid suspensions/fines for their actions in Game 3?
This is the same Rene Bourque who was suspended for 5 games for elbowing and injuring Niklas Backstrom a year ago. This is the same leaque that suspended Eric Gryba 2 playoff games for an (obviously) clean hit.
I'm usually not one to complain about the NHL's wheel of justice - Shanny has a hard job - but they are SO wrong here. They don't care about player safety.
Btw, I love the time out call. Nothing wrong with it. Nothing.
I love psychological warfare.
That is literally awesome - thanks Jason. My respect for your writing has increased.

Great Article Struds.
I loved the timeout, Paul Maclean keeps his cool, while pushing the buttons of Therrien (who is a ticking time bomb even without provocation). Maclean knows Therrien has a quick temper and and is exploiting that weakness and Therrien in his blind rage refuses to see that. Another Bonus, Therrien looks like an absolute madman in the media now, directing even more of the attention from the Sens players; brilliant.
I didn't have much interest in this series going in to the playoffs, but now it's the one I'm looking forward to the most.
Have to agree that the time out was a jerky move on MacLean's part but... I think that it was partly payback for Prust's "bug eyed, fat walrus" comment. Of course, it could backfire and motivate the heck out of Montreal.
Absolutely disgusting display by the vile Habs. The NHL is bush league and extremely biased. Therrien and several of the Montreal players should have been suspended immediately for being goons out to injure.
Like Garry Galley correctly pointed out, I would have called a time out and drawn up a power play too if I were Maclean. I say keep lighting the punks up if they keep taking cheap shots at my players.
May 07 2013, 02:37PM
Pure coaching genius - his team's ability to not crumple all season is inspiring.... And Alfredsson playing D at the end of last game? Priceless! Ol' time hockey!
Hmmmm. Switch from Habs to Oilers. Rather love to see how Krueger would have reacted to the `puppet master`s` little tricks. Oh wait, the Oilers haven`t made the playoffs in 7 years.
Struds you are bang on the mark with Mclean. THis guy ihas far more grey matter than most people give him credit for.
He is not an motivational speaker........we know how over rated that skill set is, but his team always shows up and plays within his system, even down their two biggest stars.
Maybe we should be looking closer to his system and import it to our team?
Anyone looking to support the Arena deal moving forwards (i.e. not being killed tomorrow) can visit the following web page to send an email of support.
I agree Struds, The Canadiens and their obnoxious fanbase are being played by a master. Maclean is a genius especially with his unsubtle tactics against Therrien. Maclean knows that Therrien is like a hardboiled egg in a microwave...any second ...POW! In fact Maclean should hire that old Nordiques coach Bergeron to sit behind the bench with him...classic Hockey!

I did because I do. I'm an old guy that still gets frustrated that the Omniplex was kiboshed.
Get an arena where you can walk somewhere without having to stand in line.
Let's get 'er done. Revitalize downtown and pull in some tax dollars!!

Thanks for the re-cap of last weeks news Jason.
Is there a quiz coming up ON, readers may not know about?
May 07 2013, 07:24PM
I love psychological warfare.
That is literally awesome - thanks Jason. My respect for your writing has increased.
I remember, it was either 1997 or 1998 and probably both, when The Oilers played The Colorado Avalanche in the playoffs, the away bench in Denver was shorter and especially narrower than the home bench. It made a tight squeeze for the players on the bench.
The Oilers modified their away bench to be narrower so that The Avalanche would be as uncomfortable playing away as The Oilers were.
Loved it.
And then the McLean look-alike again right behind Therrien. That was good. You'd wanna punch him.
(Maybe he's there all the time... I dunno.)
Maybe we can make a trade that sticks this time with Ottawa . Example ; Spezza (7M - for 2 years ) and C.Neil ( 1.9M for next four years ). We give them Horcoff and our first round pick ,or swap position if we are that fortunate . Spezza cap hit is 7M for 2 years , but actual salary 5m and 4m respectively .
I just got back from the Jason Strudwick show at Rexall. What a silky voice. If I would have won the 50/50, I would have signed you to a contract on the spot. Beauty rendition of Sweet Caroline.

I'll second this. For what he laxked with his voice, he made up for with his performance. Great job Jason! Yukon was pretty damn good too.
Mikey: In all honesty, I was surprised how good Yukon sang, all things considered. Strudy gave chills through my spine early on... or maybe those were cringes.. I'm not sure. But the performance was entertaining, and typically funny.
If Yukon did some James Brown moves, that might have helped sway my vote.
Anyways, looks like there is some vid up. Funny stuff:
I seem to remember Yukon sounding better live.. lol

What I love is how he says maybe swap picks rather than just give them our #7 pick as if we're giving up too much
Awesome move by Maclean. Also, Canucks are done!

That seems a little unbalanced. Better throw in Peckham for Karlsson too.
We could sign and trade Khabby for Anderson as well.

Awesome win by Ottawa last night. Gotta love MacLean!
Also Dys out 4 straight. OilersNation celebrates!
May 08 2013, 12:15PM
I would be pissed off about the timeout if it happened to us, but really? This walarus is my hero. He's playing the Habs like a fiddle. I doubt any one of us would have anything but praise for him if he pulled the same stunt while blowing out say the Canucks.
Canucks are out! Today is a great day!
speaking of the canucks ...where is DSF hiding?
I liked the articel but I have noticed that Jason Strudwick is not really interested in engaging with his readers..........on any of the articles that he writes.
I have made this observation over time and as such will no longer read his articles or respond to them.
Bye Jason.........and I would encourage you to stop writing, stick to radio.

Jason I enjoy your writing. I will continue to read your inside perspectives on this crazy game.
Rama Lama I hope you change your mind. I also enjoy your often insightful comments.
"Do not react to what the Sens are doing. Initiate and make them react to us. Simple to say and harder to do."
Jason you are talking about dynamic tactical managment and there are only two ways to catalyse that,one is Intuitive and one is statistical.You arent being clear which one you are dealing with here man.
If you use an Intuitive Dynamic Analysis and Managment perspective it is simple to do and harder to say. You can make a few small adjustments and attain a dominant result.
If you use a statistical influence to manage your system read and reacts it will be simple to say and harder to do.You can make core systemic adjustments repeatedly in a reactionary manner and not attain dominant results.
One method is handsoff and one is labor intensive.Jason you only know the labor intensive method,same as the Oilers managment team.
The sequence of events you just described is called a "Tactical Dynamic Template" within the NewAge Hockey Systems philosophys.The TDT isnt random,and it isnt hard to manage if you understand it properly or have a good teacher.
If you want to learn more about the NewAge Hockey System and its history Jason feel free to ask.I would get a real kick out of watching your face as you go over 3 years worth of game day Threads and Game Day Blog posts because you as an ex-NHLer will not be able to miss the facts as they stand,when you see the NHS data being posted and then immediatly and identiclly incorporated on the ice you will be shell-shocked,no doubt about it pal.The only question is wether or not you have the cojones to stand up and say it like it is or if you will refuse to validate the dynamic templates you will be seeing.Your old team needs the NHS more than the NHS needs it.
You like to write and you like to get involved in things,why dont you become a conspiracy theorist and a documentary producer for a while and walk with me man. Three years ago I created the NewAge Hockey System for the Oilers and they have utilised the data but still havent embraced fully or officially it or validated its source despite the fact that they and other NHL teams who are emulating the Oilers own NHS influenced tactics and implementing them into their own systems are proof of influence.
If I post specific detailed read and reacts online in a paralell manner to the Oilers coaches and it turns out that my calls and adjustments would have produced consistantly superior results,then your hockey acumen will immediatly know this to be fact,i would go so far as to say that it would be undeniable to you at that point.If I can consistantly out perform the coaching staff and then lead them to incorporate my data into their own execution in realtime via my online posts being communicated live to the Oilers staff,and I can do this consistantly for an extended period of time say 3 years,ha ha ha,then Jason my man you will dam well know it. If I can show you how these same exact NHS influences propelled LA to win the Cup,Jason your Honest Eddy arse will know it.What will you want to do then Jason?
Jump onboard,the NHS Express at the grassroots level,all you need to see is positive results documented in chronological order combined with a solid dose of professional and personal integrity,then you can fully support and endorse the NHS. I am not abject to teamwork,the NHS can and is standing on its own,but with a focused team effort by a handfull of people we can do some damage league wide.
Jason just so you are aware there is no possibility that my read and reacts will just be due to luck or regular hockey plays,I am ultra-specific in my posts and adjustments down to feet and sometimes strides,and exact zone placements and specific and sequenced playactions that are part of an original NewAge Hockey System catalysed Tactical Dynamic template or TDT that I create and implement on the fly.When the data is transferred and implemented it is like majic man and you will immediatly recognise the sequences and be as amazed as I was at first at the impact the NHS has on system potential and optimisation.Your hockey senses will be going off like fireworks because I will have you so far ahead of the developing playaction in realtime while the pro coaches struggle and sink that your head will spin.
Take a look Jason,it might be worth it.
Maybe someone ought to ask Dougie Weight what he learned while watching last years playoffs that he incorporated into his system execution this year,because he is currently about to dismantle the Penguins in the first round and then take the Isles to the finals,take a close look at the things he is doing ,look at how he is managing his system dynamiclly on the fly and how that is ripping the Pens apart.Oiler fans should recognise the explosive offense after all it is exactly like ours when we use the same adjustments Dougie is useing,the NHS adjustments,the DYNAMIC MANAGMENT adjustments.The Isles cannot be out coached using this systemic influence and Sidney cannot bust the system on his own nor can Malkin.
The Isles are this years Kings and for the exact same reasons and NHS influences.The Blues are feeding the Kings the same NHS influences and locking them in a system checkmate because many teams are now embracing the influences.
Watch the final game in the Isles series when the Pens try to kick it up a notch offensively,it will be a disaster and they will be steamrolled by the Islanders dynamic read and reacts.Like last game.Because the Pens dont understand how the Islanders are generating so much terminal offense they cannot stop it,they will tighten up their defense and the damage will get exponentially worse--if they open up the same thing will happen like last game,this NHS influence began to spread from the Western Conference 3 years ago starting with the Oilers where I posted the data.The Pens must be wondering how the hell the islanders always seem to be in the right places at the right times,just before they can recognise the playaction,this is usually the seat the Pens are in,ha ha hah a ha.
Gagner got to know Sidney over last summer and I am a fan of Sams,maybe he is willing to give Sid a ring and let him know about the NHS,I am willing to work on a game to game basis as an Intuitive Dynamic Consultant,a Dynamic Hitman so to speak.I could shut down the Isles or the Kings or any system using the NHS.
I will need to log onto the next Isles game GDT to ride shotgun for Dougie,I am biased at this point as old loyalties run deep.

Linemen Reduce Outages to 1,649, Efforts Continuing Tonight
Blue Ridge Electric Membership Corporation linemen and visiting crews continue working tonight to restore power to members affected by Thursday night's snow storm in the North Carolina mountains.
Days of heavy rain followed by last night's heavy wet snow and high winds caused downed trees and power lines, particularly in Ashe County where more than 400 damaged locations of the electric system needed repair—from broken poles to downed power lines. A total of 9,000 members were affected at the height of the storm.
As of 9 p.m., 1,649 members remain without power: 1,518 in Ashe County, 65 in Watauga County, 60 Alleghany County and six in Wilkes County. The cooperative advises members in Ashe County to be aware that full outage restoration for this area may not be possible until late Saturday due to extensive damage to the system. The cooperative thanks members for their patience as linemen work to restore power to all members as quickly and safely as possible.
Members should report all outages by calling the cooperative's PowerLine at 1-800-448-2383.
Assisting Blue Ridge crews to restore power are 75 additional linemen who arrived today from: Rutherford EMC, Union Power, French Broad EMC, York Electric, Haywood EMC, Randolph EMC, and EnergyUnited, as well as from Sumter, Pike and Carter utility contract crews.
Blue Ridge Electric also warns the public that downed power lines can still be energized and therefore dangerous or even deadly! Stay far away from downed power lines and report them immediately to the cooperative.
To check outage status at any time, Blue Ridge Electric provides an online outage map at www.BlueRidgeEMC.com. Information is also available on the cooperative's Facebook and Twitter sites: www.facebook.com/blueridgeemc and www.twitter.com/blueridgeemc.
Blue Ridge Electric serves some 74,000 members in Caldwell, Watauga, Ashe, Alleghany, Wilkes, Avery and Alexander counties.

I doubt the Lady would be able to force Ichigo to take off his underpants. LOL, She and What Army?
I wonder what Shinji is really asking Hyori to go and fix, could it have something to do with the method the Quincies use to access SS? Does saying Goodbye to Ichigo mean that access to the Real World from SS would be Sealed? If so Isshin would have something to say about it.
Aside: I was hoping That Ichigo's boss, Ikumi Unagiya would be a relative (agent) of Isshin. She seems to care way too much to be a random boss.
I doubt Ichigo is going to be asked to Join Sqaud Zero for a while yet, they need his power to fight for now.

Offering a trail running experience often compared to running on clouds, the HOKA Stinson Evo Trail features maximum cushioning and an extra-soft ride.
Step into the HOKA Stinson Evo Trail for a seriously cushioned ride. With tons of shock absorbing foam underfoot, your legs will surely thank you for their smooth, pillowy ride. The wide base and trail specific lugs provide a stable platform on rocky and hard packed terrain, and a quick pull lace system makes lacing up easy and fast. This shoe will keep you going mile after mile, day after day.
Model Number:
Weight: 11.8 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (38mm), Forefoot (32mm)
Available Width: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
The HOKA Stinson Evo is a minimum featured, moderate neutral trail shoe designed for daily training and high mileage. It is built with a straight shape.
Comments: Love love love these. I tried the Mafate's first and they were a bit too much shoe for me. I also found them too tight around the toes, and stiff as a board, so without the Mafates ever leaving the first floor of my house I returned them and bought the Stinsons. I had me a few Ultra runners in an Ultra I ran back in May with the Hokas. They all spoke glowingly so I figured what the hey I'll try them out. After the disappointment with the Mafate's I was nervous with the Stinsons. I put them on immediately and knew it was much better right away. My take aways, they fit 1/2 size small. I needed a 10.5 where I typically used a 10 in Saucony Triumphs, and Asics Gel-Scouts. The traction on wet rocks is phenomenal. I'm blown away by how good it is. I ran a technical run as my 3rd run in them and they performed well. They're no heavier than my Triumphs, without a scale I'd say equal. As another reviewer said the lateral support is all but non-existent so if you require alot of lateral support, buyer beware. I've run in minimalist, non-cushioned, medium cushion and maximum cushioned shoes...nothing compares to the Hokas. I've only had them 2wks, I've run 5X and have purposely ran long days before technical runs to see if it's true about your legs feeling fresh. I am tough on shoes, and picky as heck...and these are awesome. I ran a 30k today, have another planned for tomorrow and am not afraid as my legs feels great already. Not sure what else I can say...I'm a convert after only 5 runs. They're a bit pricey, I'd like to see that come down a bit, but for comfort, there is nothing like them.
From: Ron, Ontario, Canada
Comments: I'll agree with most people who've run in Hokas that they are the most comfortable shoe I've ever run in. I liken it to running in high-cushion road shoes on a soft, spongy track. It's pretty amazing. No break-in needed. They look bulky, but they don't feel that way when running fast.
Misc observations:
Limited lateral support, most notable running off-camber sections or making a sharp switchback turn going downhill
Comes with two insoles- one flat and the other with pretty decent arch support; for those needing more arch support, the Superfeet inserts work well (I used Orange version).
Despite the cushion, the heel-toe drop is 4 mm, and the shoes do not necessarily encourage a heel strike; the one caveat is if you get 'lazy' or slow on downhills, the heel-strike is comfy. Drainage is average, at best.
I've seen weight set anywhere from 9 to 11 oz- all I can say is they feel as light as my Montrail Mountain Masochists
Comes with speed/quick lacing similar to Salomon's (though not as "speedy"), but those only come up to the second-from-the-top eyelet; normal laces are also provided if you prefer a tighter heel (cut the speed laces at the bottom in case you change your mind later)
Gripped as well as other shoes on summer trail, inlcuding very technical (no runs in mud- it will be hard to take $135 shoes out in mud!) I love(d) the Mountain Masochist, but after a few runs, I definitely feel less wear and tear on my legs running in the Hokas. Hopefully I'll feel the same during/after an ultra. I also hope they'll survive the wear and tear of the trail- time will tell.
From: Jimmy, Midwest, USA
Comments: Sold on Hokas. Bought a 2nd pair of the Stinson EVO after running hundreds of miles on road and trail and they finally lost their cushion. Best shoes for my aching feet ever. First Name: Soapy
From: Soapy, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA
Comments: All i have to say is ah-mazing. This is my third pair of Hokas and i can't get enough of them! SO MUCH SUPPORT! After my strenuous marathon I won as a teenager, I decided to take up trail running. I don't even feel any pressure on my feet when trail running with these shoes. Now that i think of it, i can't even feel my feet at all when running. Great shoes, great Hokas. I love Hokas!
From: Ozi Gutierez, Los Osos, California, USA
Comments: Narrower with a softer midsole than the Bondi's, the Evo Trail lugs are perfect for road and most trails. The outsole wears much better than the Bondis'. I have 300 miles on them and hope get get another 2-300.
From: David, Ashburn, VA

Biography All Music Guide
Group Members: Jon Fratelli
All Music Guide:
A brashly melodic indie rock outfit from Glasgow, the Fratellis feature vocalist/guitarist Jon Fratelli, drummer Mince Fratelli, and bassist Barry Fratelli. The witty trio played its first show in early 2005, maintaining that the band's moniker was merely an homage to Barry's original surname (however, other rumors suggest that the Fratellis borrowed it from the nemesis family featured in Steven Spielberg's film The Goonies). Such trivia only added to the Fratellis' growing appeal upon their performance debut, and the band's limited-edition self-titled EP arrived in April 2006. Although few copies were pressed, the record received a helpful boost from Zane Lowe's Radio One program, which put the acoustic-driven track "Creepin Up the Backstairs" into regular rotation. Televised appearances on Later with Jools Holland and Top of the Pops followed during the early summer, while the group's second single, "Henrietta," earned the Fratellis their first U.K. Top 20 hit. "Chelsea Dagger" began climbing the U.K. Top 40 that August, and the debut album, Costello Music, finally arrived in September. Although the album failed to chart in most countries (even an American iPod commercial featuring the track "Flathead" failed to spark much interest across the pond), Costello Music enjoyed a great deal of success at home, earning the bandmates a BRIT Award and peaking at number two in their native U.K. The band then returned to the British charts in 2008 with "Mistress Mabel," a track from their polished sophomore effort Here We Stand. The band then went on hiatus for a few years; during that time, Jon formed the torchy duo Codeine Velvet Club in 2008 with Lou Hickey and released a solo album, Psycho Jukebox, in 2011. Meanwhile, Barry joined the Twang as a touring member and Mince played with Jon's backing band as well as with Throne o' Diablo. During this time, "Chelsea Dagger" also became the unofficial theme song of the National Hockey League's Chicago Blackhawks. In 2012, the Fratellis regrouped for a U.K. tour and announced in 2013 that they had recorded their third studio album in their native Glasgow. We Need Medicine arrived in October 2013.

My Freetalk Connect me unit has been online for more than two weeks but no update has been applied. I am still stuck with firmware 22.214.171.124 with no caller id.
I sent a help request about the caller ID and that's how I knew about the new firmware version but it has yet to be applied. A second help request about the update ended up with no answer.
Any idea how to resolve this? Does it matter if the unit is overseas outside the US?
Thank you,
To address your last sentence:
Connect Me currenly only provides support for U.S., Canada and U.K. Every country has its own legacy PSTN phone system idiosyncracies that need to be addressed. And the U.K. uses different firmware from the US/Canada one.

Skip to comments.NBC's Chuck Todd: Susan Rice 'victim' of conservative 'advocacy media'
Posted on 12/13/2012 6:44:59 PM PST by kristinn
NBC News White House correspondent Chuck Todd today called U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice a "victim" of conservative "advocacy media" while addressing her decision to withdraw from consideration for secretary of state.
"She became victim of the attacks. ... and it was all driven, in many cases, by conservative outlets who were making her the center of the Benghazi story," Todd told MSNBC's Martin Bashir. "There were legitimate questions to ask about the Benghazi story, but the idea that she belonged in the center of those attacks never made a lot of sense. She sort of became a victim of this.
"It's too easy now in the way our media landscape is set up: You can become collateral damage in a hurry, in the way you can just get piled on whether it's Twitter, whether its advocacy journalism, talk radio. ... That's what she was. Make no mistake, she was political collateral damage," Todd said.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Susan Rice is a "victim" of low personal ethics.
Obviously Chucky Bumps didn't get up in time to watch those five Sunday morning shows where Rice tried to blame a goofy YouTube video for Barry's stand down at Benghazi.
Andrea Mitchell must have gotten the same talkingpoints memo.
I was channel surfing and caught a few moments of NBC Nightly News.
Andrea Mitchell was reporting on Rices request to not be considered for the SoS position. Mitchell was claiming the mean ole obstructionist Republicans who were threatening to oppose Rices nomination as being behind Rices decision to not seek the position.
Mitchells allegations to blame the Republicans was extremely convoluted, but she gave the report with a straight face.
Truth is the victim of the Orwell-Stream Media.
Susan prostituted her high position of authority for some stupid political points on behalf of brocko. You just don't do that. The fact that her points were bald-faced lies did not help.
These people don't think. They're brocko-bots.
Hey Chuck Todd, I never saw you defend Mia Love or Allen West who were being called every nasty, disgusting name in the book by the left. Hey Chuck, here's an idea, type in Mia Love on twitter and see what your lefties have said about her..the use of the N word would make the seasoned racist blush..but oh yeah I forgot, West and Love both deserved it since they are both black Conservatives, therefore they are not considered to be human beings according to leftist scum
[[NBC's Chuck Todd: Susan Rice 'victim' of conservative 'advocacy media']]
Pssssst- Chucky- Susan rice is a victim of the ignorance o nthe left- which you have amply provided evidence of
What conservative media? Oh FOX? Sort of.
Criminal Marxist that brings death where she goes.
She is a person of low character.
She took one for "the team"....she chose the wrong team.
Oddly enough, NBC never asked those questions: not the day of the attacks when everyone with common sense concluded that the rape/murder of our ambassador was a planned terrorist attack, not the same day in the face of a White House trial balloon that the attack was a negative film review complete with coordinated mortar fire, not when Susan Rice days later explained what happened with answers that made no logical sense and that were contradicted by obvious facts, and not today when NBC finally admits that there were "legitimate questions" but still fails to inquire regarding the answers to those questions. Journalism has a long and sad history of dishonest, one-sided reporting. Any brief shining moment of professionalism and integrity in the past has been totally obscured by a level of bias that even Joseph Goebbels would not have dared to order.
And what were those 4 Americans who died needlessly in Benghazi victims of?
Just caught a few moments of another Democrat spokesperson, a Black Woman of course, on Hannity.
She not only blamed the mean old Republicans, she singled out John McCain for his comments regarding Rice. I guess that means RINO McCain is a Racist just like those Tea Party GOP guys.
Talk to the DEMs. She had the votes in the Senate. Why back out?
Well, at least he's not biased!
My dad, a career military oficer, always told me that truth is the first victim of war.
Just kidding.
Not even Hillarious Klinton believes that she is capable of Sect. of State so , why the uproar ?
"We are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue. ... The only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield." — George Orwell, March 22, 1946 ( by Kaslin )
There is no surprise here. Of course NBC would see nothing wrong with Rice lying through her teeth about what happened. NBC does it all the time.
Susan Rice LIED!
Nothing qualified Susy rice — nothing except she was a liar for obammy. She is gone. Adios and good luck
If the attacks are unfair, defend her.
Oh, and Dumb Chuck, please don't forget to wipe your mouth off after the next interview (cough...cough) with Obama.
Is that the same UpChuck that Biden was talking to?
Oh, no. That was an honorable disabled veteran.
Chuck Todd is more like the "Sweeney Todd" of the movie.
If this is true, she is too stupid to be Secretary of State.
If this is NOT true, then something is rotten in DC.
First we have this woman going on not one, not two, but five Sunday talk shows which had to be arraged by someone in the White House, to present, nationwide, a cockamamy story, presumably provided by our intelligence agencies, which was totally false, as subsequently testified by the intelligence agencies themselves.
Then Barack Hussein indignantly blew his faux outrage claiming that she had "nothing to do" with the event! and, as a result, that she was unfairly attacked.
The regime can't have it both ways.
If she was too ignorant to address the issue, she should not have been ordered to attempt a very incompetent coverup.
Most informed citizens, with an IQ over 70, are incapable of accepting this gift from an alternate universe. Lies or incomptence. No other explanation is possible.
Clinton wanted Kerry. Ignored attacks were from Republicans - the ones' that worked were from dems...
This was a means to get the heat off. I'm sure that she will be "taken care of" some other way, quietly, after she leaves the administration. So, Hillary probably won't testify. But someday, someone will crack. It may be after 2016, but someone will - you can be absolutely certain of this - if for no other reason than to sell books. And I'm keeping a list of the enablers and apologists. Andrea Mitchell may be oblivious and sitting in her own urine by then, but Todd won't be. No matter where he's working, he will be Dan Rathered.
Basically, this deception threw the election.
Boo hoo hoo!
Yet it was the Senate RINOs who lined up against her, at least on TV. And some libs complaining about her too.
And those pukes will all line up for Thurstan Howell IV lib John Kerry for that same job.
If she was too ignorant to address the issue, she should not have been ordered to attempt a very incompetent coverup.
On this I would like to add that Rice had a choice to lie and coverup, or to reply: "FU Barack, I quit, do your own lying."
Only a subversive person of low moral and ethical character would follow those orders.
She's not fit to clean an American sewer, but she works in one anyway.
Dear Chuck,
Susan Rice went on national TV and lied.
1. There was NO DEMONSTRATION. That was an out-and-out lie.
2. The Intelligence Community KNEW that there was no demonstration and they KNEW that it was a terrorist attack.
We have been lied to. WHY?
Liberals killed her by her investment in Keystone pipeline
FU Chuckie T Odd. Last time I checked the US Senate was lilly white. No Conservative could stop the nomination with the white majority of 'Rats and RINOs.. Plus Rice doesn't have the US Senate pedigree.
President - former Senator
VP - former Senator
Senate majority leader - Senator
Senate minority leader - RINO Senator
Sec of State - former Senator
Obama used her badly and she loved it.
Chuck Todd and elementary school go together well. Here, all this time, I thought that Rice was a victim of her own incompetence and a corrupt, misguided administration. I guess that Todd overlooked the content of her character, her past history, and her propensity to error on the side of people not of the USA.
Todd likes playing the color of the skin, and victims from the Democrat/Marxist playbook, a bit boring I might add.
JFKerry is 'due' a promotion and since it is the Senate's job to approve the president's nominees, and liberals are in the majority in the Senate, Chuckie, might look closer to in the Senate as to why Susan is not who they want to fill that vacancy at the State Department.
Hey Chuckie, liberals have a long history of pointing an accusing finger at their mortal enemies, while doing the very thing they accuse others of being/doing.
Oh and Chuckie, when either Susan volunteered or willingly accepted the role, to be the face of Benghazi on all the liberal networks, it is really beyond any grains of credibility for you to pout out that conservative advocacy media had squat to do with or affect Susan's credentials. You liberals did this to Susan from the president all the way to the JonStewart media houses of worship on a Sunday morning.
Chuck Todd would be ashamed of himself that the conservative internet media was able to bring a powerful blatant liar down and it was not him and his news agency that had the ethics, power and intellegence to do it.
He's mad because better journalists did his job much better than him. Marxists really, really hate the freedom of speech. They have an impossible task of "selling" hate, envy and total control when they are challenged.
The conservatives should be statesmen and be as polite and respectful as the Democrats were to John Bolton and Robert Bork.
Susan Rice was a victim of Obama politics.

I'm A Fan!!
"My shoes arrived today and right out of the box I was in love. I have several pair of Jessica Simpson shoes and these didn't disappoint. I have a hard time getting pumps to fit --they tend to slip off of my heel. Not these. And the peep toe isn't too tight. I wore them the rest of the day. They look great and feel even better!"

Wanted to love these
"I love Jessica Simpson shoes, own several pair, but I just couldn't find these comfy enough to wear long term so I'm returning them. The elastic band is a bit uncomfy. Make sure if you order them, you order the right size cuz I could imagine that would be very uncomfortable if too tight. I have a pair of mary jane pumps from her with an elastic band over the top of the foot and it's not uncomfy at all, actually helps my feet stay in the shoe. The problem with this one wasn't so much the elastic band but the front part of the shoe. It kept rubbing in the wrong way on the side of my foot, and for that reason I have to return them. I can only imagine blisters by the end of the day. They might fit right for you, but they didn't for me. So bummed, they are so adorable."

Skip to comments.'Gay Conservative' Is an Oxymoron
Posted on 02/14/2011 7:51:47 AM PST by Kaslin
CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, has been an annual gig for me for years. But this year I concluded it was not my place and I declined to participate in the various venues at the event for which I was invited.
Yes, the reason I declined was the inclusion of GOProud, a group identifying itself as representing gay conservatives and their allies, as a sponsor of the event.
And its the reason why some of the nations most important conservative organizations the Heritage Foundation, the American Family Association, Concerned Women of America, Family Research Council, Media Research Center, and the National Organization for Marriage - did not participate.
The founder and chairman of GOProud removed any doubt on my part that not participating was the correct decision by dismissing these groups as losers, clowns, and not relevant.
I, of course, have been accused of being worse than a clown. The barrage regularly comes in from the left. But this is a first that Ive had to listen to this kind of stuff from a group that postures as conservative.
I became a conservative in church. I thought I was doing okay in my previous life - scamming the welfare system, going to the beach, soaking in my welfare subsidized hot tub, treating sex as a hobby, and abortion as birth control.
In our culture today that views material prosperity as the ultimate barometer of success, the truth is becoming unfortunately lost that the evil man can prosper. And if there is nothing more than what is before our eyes in this world, what does it matter?
When I understood how the culture of welfare state materialism was destroying not just my life, but all of black America, there was no dividing line in my mind between social issues and economic issues. The only dividing line I saw was between right and wrong, good and evil.
The idea of gay conservative is an oxymoron.
Gay is everything that conservative is not.
The foundation of the world view that so-called gay conservatives embrace has far more in common with liberalism than with conservatism.
Its a world view that is man-centered rather than God-centered. It is a world view that rejects eternal truths passed on from the beginning of time. Although the world view that gay conservatives choose to invent may diverge from the world view of liberals, their common ground is they make it all up.
And it is here where gay conservatives and liberals fundamentally depart from conservatives.
Conservatives believe that there are objective and eternal truths, not of the product of any individual human mind, that are transmitted through the generations. Culture is not like HDTV or iPhones where the newest model is the best.
These eternal truths provide the light in the fog that keeps us from crashing on the rocky shores where our base instincts lead us.
Gay is liberal, not conservative, regardless of what their stand may be on government spending or taxes.
Its why, like all liberals, they use language to create reality, rather than appreciate that words have meaning that reflect reality.
So they have re-invented the word gay, re-invented the word marriage, and now they want to re-invent the word conservative.
Finally, we will re-invent the word freedom and well put the final stamp on the idea that a free society, rather than being the path to truth, is the path to meaninglessness.
What individuals choose in private, and for which they bear personal responsibility, is separate from what we sanction publicly for which we all must bear responsibility.
A value-neutral government is impossible. The central battle in our country today is about values and how we understand freedom. It is a battle for our very soul. And, as we learned from CPAC, its not a struggle that is just between Democrats and Republicans.
Conservatives aren't into group identity politics. They're just plain conservative.
Until we succeed in getting smaller government, those of us who want smaller government had better quit this sniping at each other, or we will have larger government and no freedom. Either we hang together, or we hang separately.
Bravo, Star! CPAC's acceptance of this group should have drawn fire from all conservatives.
This is absolutely true. You cannot be promoting the homosexual agenda and be a Conservative. They are mutually exclusive.
I generally agree. Here's my observation about this particular issue:
There are no homosexual conservatives. HOWEVER, there ARE homosexuals with right-leaning tendencies.
What I mean by this is that our operational definition of conservatism is a school of thought that does not support or allow for homosexuality. In practice, though, there are homosexuals who have some ideas that are similar to what conservatives believe and want.
I have homosexual friends who would prefer less government involvement, fiscal responsibility, a reduction in federal mandates, and a host of other concerns that are similar to my own.
That does not make them conservative, though, as they believe in and practice something that is antithetical to one of the bedrock principles of conservatism. I do not and will not approve of their homosexuality, but I am glad they believe in at least some of the things I do. Better they're on our side on those issues than the side of the progressives. If only they would VOTE.
But they should NEVER be counted as the face of the conservative movement, because when it comes to PRACTICE, they do not perpetuate the conservative movement.
But you can promote Conservatism and be a practicing homesexual.
It's time we stop worring about who consenting adults are screwing in their bedrooms and worry more about the screwing we are all getting from Obama.
Let us not forget this wisdom from Ronald Reagan:
The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally not a 20 percent traitor.
Yep, just another Trojan horse meant to destroy conservatism. I'm surprised at the number of conservatives who are fooled by it. They wouldn't be if a bunch of prancing fairies came along and announced they were "right-wing communists." But "gay conservatives?"... no problemo.
Simply put, "conservatives" promote traditional Americanism.
This inherently includes the traditional family, because the family is the basis of any civilized culture.
Social issues are not economic issues. What type of conservative is this article talking about?
At this rate, the Tea Party will become the haven for true Conservatives & the GOP will become a joke beyond what they are displaying today.
The premise is faulty. A person can be "gay" without being part of the gay rights movement, or associated with "gay causes".
Saying there are no gay conservatives is akin to saying there are no black conservative simply because black organizations are almost all liberal political organizations which fight against conservative causes.
That analogy only extends to the concept of attaching to the name the organizations which carry it, not to the underlying and obvious difference between a person being "gay" and a person being "black".
It has yet to be proven that being "gay" is not in the end a choice (again, to be clear, being "gay" is not the same as acting "gay" — one always has the choice of action, regardless of one's "proclivities").
I have no trouble believing that men who believe they are attracted to other men could also hold to conservative principles, any more than I believe that men who have any attraction to any sin could also have conservative principles.
I don't think that this principle, as I have narrowly defined it, is a controversal one, even among the conservative activists. I think the problem is that we are using the term "gay conservative" as a placeholder for the more accurate "conservative gay activist".
I would agree that it is unlikely that a gay activist will also be a conservative, because in my opinion the principles of conservatism would speak against the idea that a person's sexual characteristics were of interest or concern of the government, or that they should receive special or disparate treatment.
But if we misuse terms, we once again appear to be defining "conservative" membership down to a small minority of the population.We exclude people of certain faiths, we exclude people of certain national origins, we exclude people of certain sexual orientations, we exclude and exclude and exclude, and eventually we have a dozen people in a room, looking at each other, and trying to find some other defining characteristic that 11 of them can use to get rid of the 12th.
I've got little use for gay political organizations like Log Cabin or GOProud; but I'm not ready to write off every person who is afflicted with the sin of same-sex attraction, regardless of whether they practice that sin or not.
But, but, you're not allowed to see in black and white, only Green. This is America, where they, (phychologists, teachers, professors, elites), tell us there is no "right" or "wrong" answer to questions of morality, that everything is subjective, and that everyone has their own valid "truth". You need some remedial cultural teaching immediately. I suggust you hook up with a good therapist and tell him you're a sick person, because you actually believe you can determine the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, and that you believe in..... dare I say it......God. Next thing ya know, you'll start thinking that global warming is an Al Gore business venture.
Well said!
I don't see why "gay conservative" is an oxymoron anymore than "black conservative" or "Catholic conservative" or "atheist conservative." Conservatism is not defined by Star's religious views.
So, no thanks, the gay crowd are not willing to go along with all the demands "smaller government" places on them.
Anyone who truly shares the basic tenents of conservatism without qualification is a welcome vote, private lives aside.
You totally miss the point. Star doesn't want conservatism defined by 'her' anything. She's a conservative, no adjective or hyphenation necessary.
However, GOProud is the one attempting to define conservatism and create disunity. It exists solely to put an adjective/hyphenation to conservatism and DEFINE conservatism as "anything goes" from a sexuality standpoint. Nah baby nah.
Objectively looking at that statement in terms of truism, the statement is not true. Socially, of course it is. On economic issues, issues of national security, border control, taxation and size of government, there certainly are gays that hold a conservative view.
The question becomes, is conformity on social issues required to hold other conservative views?
They engage in a one way process ~ and we are on the wrong end of it.
I don't really care if a conservative is rump-riding in his bedroom. That's his business.
I *do* care when the aforementioned rump-rider calls himself a conservative but is pushing a liberal gay-friendly agenda of gay "marriage," gay "education" in our schools, etc.
There is a world of difference between "conservative who happens to be gay" and the GOProud-style "gay conservative." The former has his conservatism as more important and that's fine. The latter has his gayness as more important and that's NOT fine.
When it comes to practice, all they perpetuate is sin, HIV and a host of other STDs, suicides, alcohol and drug abuse, partner abuse, an aggressive agenda to teach their filth to our children as "sex ed", a desire to destroy the institution of marriage by co-habiting and demanding society call them 'married', take our tax dollars to research the disease they created and perpetuate..AIDS, and I could go on and on. Who on earth would want to call these twisted, vile people "friends"? Simply because they want to live in a economically sound country doesn't mean they have 'conservative leanings', it just means they're perverts who want to live in comfort.
Unfortunately, the term "conservative" has bastardized itself into the realm of economics, of which is it has nothing to do with. It's just another sleazy way for liberals and progressives to put up a facade. "I'm a raving sexual deviate, but I want less government and less spending, (just so long as they don't spend less on AIDS), so I'm a conservative". barf
" gay crowd are not willing to go along with all the demands "smaller government" places on them. "
Neither are a lot of people on this board who call themselves conservatives.
You've made a generalization about gays in general, and most are for bigger government, or vote for bigger government because of a prejudice against Republicans and conservatives. What about the gays who were at CPAC? And what about the so-called conservatives? Which group believes in smaller government, and which group wants bigger government?
Folks who want the government to provide special protection to gay people necessarily want "bigger government" ~
Special protection from what?
We'll work it from that angle, OK?
The only winning formula for conservatism in the United States is Ronald Maximus Reagan's Three-Legged-Stool. Social issues are just as important as the fiscal and national defense ones. If libertarians try to pogo-stick on only one, it ain't gonna work.
I'm jusr a poor, unsaved, ingnorant Jew. Maybe someone can explain what your Jesus meant when he said, "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone."
And what about all those Old Testement commandments that are no longer valid? Like eating ham? How come that is OK, but buggery is not?
"Why don't you start by telling us what you don't like about "straight society"?
We'll work it from that angle, OK? "
I'm straight, I'm a Jew, and I think buggery is a sin. I'm also an American, and I believe in small Constitutional government and individual freedom. What's your problem with smaller government?
If you support the homosexual agenda you are anti-Constitution and you'll get the zot from FR!
Communists are the antithesis of capitalists. Conservatives are capitalists, hence they cannot be communist.
Whereas gays are not the best conservatives, for they practice something that is an affront to G-d. They can, however, be conservative in all the other ways that make conservatives conservative. Gays can be capitalists, as it is not mutually exclusive. Gays can also be anti-abortionists. Gays can also want small government and low taxes. Gays can also be pro-economic growth.
Communists, however, can't be any of the above as G-d is not recognized, the state must be all-encompassing, and all economic growth must come from the state.
Just how many of us have no sins before G-d? Gays sin before G-d, but that does not keep them from his graces... any more than it keeps anyone who has sinned before G-d from his graces.
That said, they do continue to sin nonstop, so it'll catch up to them... eventually. Well, unless they are Catholic and give a heartfelt deathbed confession.
Then they're heading to the pearly gates...

In my opinion anyone who is opposed to homosexual marriage and who is opposed to tax dollars being used to advocate homosexuality (especially in the education system) is opposed to that agenda.
Your homosexual buddies want special protection from that government ~ which always means AN EXPANSION OF THE POLICE POWERS and greater use of the courts to beat down private individuals who they believe have violated the provisions of the "special protection".
Expansion of police powers is a growth in government ~ the antithesis of smaller and more limited government.
BTW, what's that got to do with being Jewish? Am I supposed to believe that people who have an ancient tradition of intrusive congregational regulation (really small government BTW) can't be advocates of smaller government?
You make the breathtakingly false assumption that GOProud is a group of conservatives. They are not. Allow infiltration of alleged "fiscal conservatives" like this, and you will have blatant, total Leftism in the end.
"Conservatism" can't be parsed. Either you are conservative in all areas, or the word has no real meaning.
Christopher Barron, GOProud Chairman of the Board: "We are a gay organization, we only work on gay issues, we have never claimed otherwise. My God people." Aug 4, 2010; 4:04pm
They don't. They need it to PUSH THEIR AGENDA.
If it was a good idea libertarians would win national elections, it isn't, and they don't!
Do you revel in your sin, saying that it is not sin, and demand that others do so too? If you are a thief, do you have "thief-pride" parades and try to undo laws against theft? Do you bully and disparage family and friends because they don't agree with your newfound "freedom" to be a thief?
There's all the difference.
People who struggle with same-sex attractions are not politically problematic: we all have our struggles to live justly and decently with our particular temptations. That doesn't mean we start groups like "Adulterers Proud" or "Serial Divorcers Come Out!"
Star Parker isn't asking for a test to determine who is "privately" afflicted with a disordered sex drive, and who is not. She's drawing the line at the advocacy groups.
"gay" means happy, joyous, which these people certainly are not. They are homosexuals, not "gay". My sister's name is Gay and she was born in 1949. It's a shame that her beautiful name is so disparaged.
Because sexual identity politics only serves to push an agenda. Homosexuals can vote anyway they choose. They don't need a sexually identified group to do so. But they do need it to push their agenda.

Jay-Z's New Website Tells You How to Live Your Life
[There was a video here]
Like Gwyneth Paltrow before him, rapper and mogul Jay-Z thinks that he knows exactly how you should live your life. He quietly launched his new website Life and Times today, and it proposes how you should dress, what music you should listen to, and which crazy cloud pictures you should look at.
The cloud pictures are Hova's only editorial contribution to the site so far. (It appears under the byline "SC," which we initially thought stood for "Something Cheesy" before realizing it was for "Shawn Carter.") Still, Jay-Z has put some serious cash into this very attractive site with several editorial staff members on board and a generous helping of fashion, lifestyle, design, and music content. Ambitious indeed.
But are fans of his music really going to want to read a Q&A with chef Daniel Boulud? We'll have to see, but there's one thing that's already clear: Like Paltrow's GOOP, this sure feels like another rich person trying to tell us we're not good enough because we can't afford all the fancy things he likes (and probably doesn't even pay for). When will celebrities figure out that we already feel bad enough about being poor without them rubbing your $250 ties in our faces all the time?

Coldplay and the 2009 Entry Draft
June 19 2009 10:50AM
So last night your ol pal Wanye crushed a couple hundred Bud Lights and went to the Coldplay concert at RX1. Had we known that we were in the midst of one of the biggest events in the history of the OilersNation we would have been thinking deeper thoughts than "Is it wrong to attend Coldplay with another dude cause his girlfriend cancelled at the last minute? Because he is paying for us to attend is this considered a date?"
Answer: No.
1. Coldplay is awesome. They played something like 25 songs and blew the doors off the place. 2. Attendance: 16,000. Number of super-done-up-emotionally-revved-up ladies attending said Coldplay concert: 15,998. If we could have given every lady in the building our phone number we would have. It was just that good and all the ladies were "SO INTO CHRIS MARTIN OMG OMG OMG"
The call that started it all
On the way to the concert we got a phone call from none other than our old pal bingofuel. The conversation -remembering we were greased - went something along these lines:
WG: Hello? Bingofuel: Wanye, it's me.
WG: Mom? Bingofuel: No you idiot. It's bingofuel.
WG: Wha? Who calls themselves bingofuel? Thash not even a real name and yo- Bingofuel: Listen you idiot. For the purposes of paraphrasing a conversation to stress a point on OilersNation this is how the conversation went.
WG: Proceed caller. You have our full attention. Bingofuel: You know how Brownlee wrote that article about the death of newspapers and no draft attending and junk?
WG: Yeah, and how all the comments were suggesting we make donations to send him? Bingofuel: Yeah. I totally think we should do it. It's total BS that the newspapers can't send anyone to the draft. Think of the coverage will be missed! When the Oilers overrule central scouting and draft a smallish perimeter forward inappropriately high in the first round – someone needs to be there!
WG: You make a very strong case bingofuel. Now remember that I am drunk as a skunk – can you figure out how to take paypal donations etc? Bingofuel: As is always the case Wanye you are drunk and I'll take care of everything.
At this point in the evening we got super greased listening to the dulcet tones of Coldplay.
*musical interlude*
At about 9:30 PM our mobile communication device began to blow up multiple phone calls from Robin Brownlee. There was no chance we were missing a second of our show to have him yell at us so we just kept on crushing beers and enjoying our night.
Then this came in:
------Original Message------ From: Robin Brownlee To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: Draft Sent: Jun 18, 2009 10:20 PM
A big GIANT WHOA!!!!
I didn't write this to go to the draft. No chance I can do it. The last part was a JOKE!
My wife is away and my son has pneumonia (not kidding). For crying out loud don't take any money from people for this!! As much as it would be riot to ride this unexpected support right to Montreal, it isn't happening.
If you want to do this, then we can plan for next year. Fuck! You people are insane.
Firstly we love making Robin Brownlee's blood pressure rise. The fact that he wrote an article lamenting the fact that newspapers are in decline and can't send people to the draft is sad. The fact the OilersNation interpreted this to mean we should all pitch in and collect donations to send him to the draft without his consent is hilarious. The fact Brownlee called us a hojillion times to have this removed from the site but we were drunk at a concert speaks to how we like to get down here at the OilersNation.
This is about two things
Robin Brownlee – who is re-rocketing up the charts of media popularity in this city. If there is one guy we would want to see at the draft it is him. It is sad that he can't go and we sincerely hope his son is feeling better soon.
Media coverage - someone needs to attend this thing on behalf of Oilers fans! When the Oilers draft an unheralded Bolivian goalie in the 9th round we want to know his fondest memories of minor hockey. We need this level of coverage.
So even though Robin is unable to attend we still think someone should go to the draft. We don't want anyone who has already donated to feel cheated. If anyone has donated to send Robin Brownlee that doesn't want that money used to send anyone else instead – email us at email@example.com and we will refund your money in a heartbeat.
A new proposal
Seeing as Brownlee cannot attend we say we send Gregor instead. We just got off the phone with him and he too was basically flabbergasted that this was going down. "But I have a big draft show I am doing" he started to say but we immediately countered with "Would you rather have a draft show or BE at the draft?"
That shut him up but good. If we can put together the funds for Gregor to attend the draft in Brownlee's place, he has assured us a level of coverage not seen in these parts in a long time. Interviews, in depth pieces, photographs of sexy ladies he passes in the street. Yes, this will be a low budget draft extravaganza at its finest. And if we have more money than the $2,000 its going to take to send our man there we will donate it to the Stollery Children's hospital on behalf of Robin and his son Sam.
And we are going to keep the ball rolling by pledging a donation of $500 of our own hard earned bottle money for Gregor to go in Brownlee's place to the draft.
We didn't think we would ever write those words on here.

I would love to read Willis' take on this subject, and any trends or stats that would go with it.
I haven't done one, but I'm pretty much 100% in agreement with Kent's (of FlamesNation and elsewhere) excellent take on the subject found here.
This is going to keep going til Firday right(to maximize the donation)? On that tack it's probably best to keep the "status" of the monies raised quiet except among administrators and Gregor.

@ Dan Tencer
For the record I don't make it a habit of Twitter Stalking. If you hadn't posted the comment when I was looking at my feed on Twirl, I probably wouldn't have even known. It was relevant to a conversation that was being held on this site, as well as one he was participating in. If you had written "send a blogger to montreal & contribute to the Stollery" you would have been a hero. Instead you wanted to go a different direction.
That said, I am willing to wipe the slate clean.
Oh yeah - found this on Twitter this morning. Those of you wanting Morley scott to do a show on 1260, he is now working as Play by Play for the Vancouver Giants. Best of luck Morley.

Dun Dun..Dun Dun..Dun Dun..
You are now required to listen to the TEAM1260 on Draft Day. For your protection, the Nation has risen to the challenge to provide you with the best Oilers news on the radio.
Dun Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Holy fack, a guy takes a break for a few days and all of the sudden the world has changed. Great stuff. Unbelievable. I just read 255 comments from my cel phone and the range of emotions was incredible. Humor, drama, action, fight scenes, soft core porn (thanks for that boob shot Wanye)... The Nation has it all. Can't seem to donate off my cel, so i'm hoping this stays open/active for a few more days so I can get to my computer. After talking with a buddy yesterday, i found out that his soon to be child has some complications and will likely need to spend some time at the Stollery. Tuff as nails as he sounded, I'd be a complete wreck if put into that situation. Robin/Sam - BEST WISHES. Gregor - thanks and have fun (maybe an interview from the Flames 1st rounder, Carter Ashton?, ya rite eh). Tencer - perhaps we all got off on the wrong foot. Welcome to The Nation Daniel san, my name is RossCreek. Bingofuel - nice work! Wanye - you're one crazy mofo.
June 20 2009, 10:54AM
Every great story needs a great villain, thank you Dan.
I was at the Stollery with my son before he was even born, and never felt as helpless in my life as I did at that moment. That place is a godsend, with its kind, professional and expert staff. Lucky for me and my family things turned out as good as they could have.
While in the waiting room, I was in the presence of two couples who had teenage kids either in residents or in town for a checkup. They were conversing about the trials and daily routine brought about by their children's illness. The problems their children faced were severe, and had been going on for a very long time yet there was a sense of calm and normalcy being expressed with a common theme... that the Stollery was the key.
This blog and what it has triggered is awesome. You guys & gals rock!
June 22 2009, 01:43PM
Where's everyone's favorite beast of a fighter, George, call home in the summer? I don't think he's in Edmonton this year but I could be wrong. Could Gregor hook up with him in Montreal? His sportsnet blog (as short as it was) was pretty sweet. Are there any loopholes that would let him post here?
June 22 2009, 03:10PM
[...] But when long-time OilersNation commenter humantorch (currently livin' large in Holland) suggested he'd pitch in a few bucks to send Brownlee to cover the Draft, well… For those of you just joining us, this should get you up to speed. [...]
Dear Wanye (son of my favorite rapper in from the dirty south)
Where do you write you material. You may or may not have had a normal childhood if you are able to come up with ideas such as this. I think you should check youself into the looney bin here to save the innocent children on the street who may be exposed to such powerful thinking.

Hattie Is a 76-Year-Old Cougar, and This Is Her Manifesto
[There was a video here]
Last night while we were laughing at Lindsay Lohan, TLC aired Extreme Cougar Wives, which sounds like a fake show some savvy sitcom would invent to skewer network that brought you Extreme Couponing and Sister Wives. But it was real, and so were its cougar wives to whatever extent people are real when they go on reality TV to be weird.
The highlight was 76-year-old Hattie, a loose-lipped free spirit who managed to be both shameless about her love of younger men (and her love of younger men's love) and tongue-in-cheek (and -pool, I guess) about how over the top her sexual expression is. She would come off as ridiculous at any age — her senior status only makes more more interesting. Everything she says is magic.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
The Green River High Lady Pirates were hoping for a longer stay at the 1-A girls basketball state tournament at the Sevier Valley Center in Richfield but this year it was two games and done for the team.
Green River opened the tournament against Intermountain Christian and lost 49-37. Green River got behind early in the game, closed the gap in the third quarter but then Intermountain Christian used a big fourth quarter to cement the victory.
On Thursday, Green River lost a heart breaker to Tabiona 46-44 to be eliminated from the four-day tournament. Green River led early in the game at 5-4 and then took the lead for only the second time in the game early in the fourth quarter at 32-30 but was not able to hold on for the win.
Against Tabiona, the Pirates picked up the first six fouls of the ballgame to put themselves in an early hole as Tabiona went to the free throw line quickly plus Megan Hatt was in foul trouble with three in the first quarter.
Tabiona also had the early rebounding advantage and several times beat the Pirates down court on fast break opportunities. Despite all this, the Pirates hung in there and only trailed by three after the first quarter at 11-8.
Green River tied the score in the third quarter at 18-18 but after Sara Swalberg picked up her fourth foul, Tabiona scored the next five points to open the lead back up. Green River was down 28-22 as time ran out in the third period but Tracy Engleman hit a long 3-pointer to keep the score close.
Hatt had a good fourth quarter going and helped keep the score close until she fouled out of the game with 3:30 left. The score was tied at 32-32 when she departed. Megan picked up several key rebounds, scored three points and had a steal in an active quarter.
After falling behind 40-34, Jill Vetere hit a 3-point shot and then a regular basket to get the score to 40-39 with 1:12 left. That turned out to be as close as they got in the game as Tabiona kept up their scoring to maintain their lead. Engleman hit another 3-pointer as time ran out to get to the final score.
In the game, Vetere led the way with 14 points, six rebounds and two steals. Swalberg had nine points, three rebounds and two steals before she fouled out late in the fourth quarter. Hatt scored five points, had five rebounds and a blocked shot. Courtney Carter scored four points, Engleman scored eight points and Michaela Hughes scored four points.
Green River hurt themselves at the free throw line throughout the game as they finished at six for 17. In the fourth quarter, they were three for secen but twice missed the front end of a one and one.
Against Intermountain Christian, Green River fell behind 10-6 in the first quarter, 25-13 at the half, narrowed the gap to 33-38 after three periods before losing the game. Swalberg led the team in scoring with 19 points including five made 3-pointers. Engleman scored six points, Carter and Vetere each scored four points and Hatt and Cassi Mecham each scored two points.

"I was looking forward to getting this pair. I ordered two different colors and how disappointed I was after the first wear. They both fell apart. It seems like the glue was the only thing holding these shoes together. I bought two similar pairs from Macy's three yrs ago, gold and white and I still have them in good shape. This one I only wore it once and it fell apart. And it almost didn't buckle, it was too short."

Students on Ice Arctic Expedition 2013, Disko Bay, Greenland
All icebergs in the North Atlantic start in this place. Disko Bay is littered with ice. Huge bergs sit somnolent in the morning sun, their surfaces lined with dark blue veins of frozen fresh water. A sudden clap of thunder announces the birth of a new crack that presages the collapse of an eroded flank.
Humpback whales ride the surface nearby leisurely feeding, untroubled by the ship that cautiously approaches. The ship's bow is lined with students, cameras in hand. Their excited cries carrying across the water as the whale surfaces and blows, then slowly slides under to the task at hand.
Once such a sighting would have had dire consequences for this massive sea mammal, which lives in all the world's oceans. Nearby Disko Island bears the remains of a whaling station. Overhunting drove the whales to the brink of extinction, just as it did in many other parts of the Arctic. Today the sound of digital cameras has replaced the cries of whalers closing in on their quarry.
