Star Trek Into Darkness is J.J. Abrams' second installment into the reboot of the Star Trek series. It stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Zoe Saldana.In this film, the crew of the Enterprise embarks on a mission to track down a terrorist after a massive attack on Star Fleet.This film is amazing! It's non-stop action from start to end. Any brief lulls were filled with comedy and insights adding to the depth of the characters.The acting was great. I really like Chris Pines as the young Captain Kirk, Zachary Quinto is great as Spock, but Benedict Cumberbatch takes the cake as the terrorist. He's a great actor and really added a lot to this film.The visual and special effects were fantastic and although, I don't think one would necessarily need to see this movie in 3D to enjoy it, I'd recommend it. I was simply blown away by how much fun I had watching this movie.I enjoyed J.J. Abrams' first Star Trek quite a bit, but in my opinion, this one topped it.Everyone will like this movie. Just go see it! I can easily give this film an "A".Best regards,

Even though it seems former actress and child star Amanda Bynes is unraveling before our eyes, experts say the now 27-year-old retired entertainer doesn't yet qualify for any form of parental or court-approved conservatorship.
Iron Man 3 stars Robert Downey Jr., Guy Pearce, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Ben Kingsley. Shane Black has taken over as the director instead of Jon Favreau in this installment of the series.
This film starts out at a fairly slower pace than the previous two, but builds as it goes and keeps getting better and better.
In this one, Tony Stark (Downey Jr.) is called upon by the public to deal with a sinister terrorist who calls himself Mandarin (Kingsley). At the same time, Stark struggles with extreme anxiety attacks as he tries to deal with the recent events of saving mankind from the other worldly villains in The Avengers.
The acting was top notch. Robert Downey Jr. was great as always, and spends more time out of his Iron Man suit in this one than the previous two Iron Man films. Guy Pearce was a good addition to the series. He was a perfect villain and was fun to hate. Ben Kingsley, easily one of the greatest actors of our time, was amazing in this film. He will most definitely take you by surprise and his performance alone makes this movie worth seeing.
The action and special effects were great. The story, although slow at times, was interesting, had great comic relief and a big payoff at the end.
Go see this movie if you liked any of the other Marvel Comics movies such as Thor, The Avengers or the other two Iron Man movies. Whether or not you see it in 3D, you'll enjoy this one. I give this picture an "A-".
Also, be sure to stay all the way through the credits.

Pain & Gain
"Pain & Gain" is true story of a gang of bodybuilders who kidnap a wealthy businessman in order to take all of his money and assets. It was directed by Michael Bay and stars Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, Anthony Mackie and Tony Shaloub.
Although the previews for this movie make it appear to be a fun and action packed comedy, I found it to be highly disturbing, anti-climactic, and frustrating. The fact that this film was based on a true story is disheartening, mainly from knowing the fact that people can be so stupid in real life.
The film started out pretty good, but as it progressed, it became more and more sickening and to be completely honest, I couldn't wait for it to be over.
Everyone in the film did a good job and Tony Shaloub was, in my opinion, the best thing about it. Unfortunately, good acting can't make up for a story like this one. The cinematography was strange with odd camera angles and shaky shots that made it difficult to see what was taking place at times.
I can't think of anyone to whom I would recommend this movie. I think maybe if you liked "Very Bad Things", you might like it (might).
I give this movie a "D". Which is disappointing as I thought it looked pretty good.

Last Thursday night, I ventured up to Lawrence to enjoy a night of dancing and singing to the cheerful indie pop melodies of Jukebox the Ghost, a band out of Washington D.C. who were performing at the Jackpot Music Hall
The indie pop/rock trio, consisting of vocalist/pianist Ben Thornewill, vocalist/guitarist Tommy Siegel, and drummer Jesse Kristin, played to an intimate crowd, humorously interacting with the audience in between songs.
Jukebox the Ghost performed songs off of their three albums, as well as a crowd favorite cover of Queenâs âSomebody to Love.â
They havenât had a hit on the radio (YET!), so the band has established their fan base over the years through touring with a wide variety of acts, including Ben Folds, the Barenaked Ladies, Jackâs Mannequin, and Motion City Soundtrack.
Check out the music video for their song âSomebody,â which I predict to be the bandâs debut single:

Oblivion takes place in the year 2077. Earth has all but been destroyed by a major war between mankind and alien invaders. Jack Harper (Tom Cruise), a drone repairman, must question everything he knows upon the events that take place two weeks prior to his assignment coming to an end.
The film starts out a little slow, but builds with suspense as it goes. It drags a little here and there and almost seemed like it was 3 hours long even though the run time is listed at 126 minutes.
The acting was okay, given the subpar dialogue and cheesy moments. Tom Cruise was his usual self and Morgan Freeman added a nice, but small touch. I didn't really have my expectations too high going into this movie and that set me up for a pleasant surprise. I found the story to be compelling and although not the most unpredictable or original movie ever, I couldn't help but to sit back and enjoy the ride.
The best thing about this movie were the special effects and sound editing. I must say they were fantastic throughout the entire film and made it worth seeing on the silver screen. This is a fun film and I believe audiences will find themselves enjoying it for the most part.
If you liked iRobot, Moon or Promethius, give this movie a try. I would give it a solid "B" maybe even a "B+" because of how good the special effects were.

Back in, oh, about the mid-to-late 90s, Jude Law burst onto the scene and into my heart. He was promptly added to my list. (Yes, *that* list.) He was always too good looking at the time. As Angela Chase was apt to say about Jordan Catalano, Jude Law circa Dickie Greenleaf was so beautiful it hurt to look at him.
And there he stayed for many, many years, at the top of my list. He stayed there through the balding years, through the cheating-with-the-nanny years, through the tumultuous Sienna Miller years, through the random baby mamas just showing up years.
But now they are saying that Sir Jude is having a mid-life crisis of sorts—just shy of his 40th birthday.
Star reports that he is now looking like little more than an "unpaid extra." (OUCH) According to Star: "'He doesn't know what to do to make himself feel better,' admits an insider, who reveals that the actor was crushed when one of his latest films, 360, bombed. 'He's staying up late, drinking, smoking and eating junk food. It's all driving him deeper into depression.' Another problem is his fading sex appeal: 'The studios think his movies are flopping because he doesn't have the pretty-boy appeal he used to. Jude was never concerned with being handsome. But now that he's starting to age, he's realizing he was actually very dependent on his looks.'"
And then, the kicker: "Jude's greatest vice has always been women, but they are not falling into his lap they way they used to."
I don't know—I'm not buying it.
I mean, sure, he is hiding behind a little bit of extra facial hair and black beanies, and sometimes he errs on the side of looking a little bit homeless, but I don't know, I kind of dig him with a beard, and I get that he's likely overcompensating for his, erm, hair loss up top.
Sure, he did get a huge $200,000+ payout after finding out that his computer and phones were hacked between 2003 and 2006, and that sort of turned his life into a soap opera and put him into a place of "uncomfortable paranoia."
And I mean, sure, he's giving BBC interviews in sport coats and sweatpants.
I just don't buy the mid-life crisis bit.
Law is set to play a big part in this year's Anna Karenina, a movie which has the words "awards circuit" written all over it.
And dare I say that he looked brilliant and smashing (and any other fitting British-ism) on the red carpet while on the arm of his Karenina co-star, Keira Knightley.
Yes, I'm fairly certain he's going to be just fine.
But if he's really having a problem with the ladies, um, I know someone who still has him on her list.

Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution"
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Series: Evolution Basics
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Evolution and Immunity: Same Story?
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
Hydrology of the Bow River
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Death and Rebirth: The Role of Extinction in Evolution
When they imagine evolution, many Christians picture novelty: new species arising over time, or speciation events. But as the most recent Southern Baptist Voices exchange makes clear, many Christians also focus on the role of death in evolution—something that can be a stumbling block.
Series: Southern Baptist Voices: Evolution and Death
This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss.
Becoming Human: New Insights from Genome-wide Functional Genomics
We live in exciting times for a geneticist: more and more genomes are being sequenced, and more and more novel genome-wide analyses are being performed to shed light on what all those newly-determined sequences mean.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism, Part 2
Barkley suggests that material creation is not the end of our understanding (as Naturalists think), but a beginning that unveils the majestic and power of a Creator who loves us.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism
Pastor Joseph Barkley of Ecclesia Church extols the greatness of the God who has brought forth incredible works and engaged humankind in relationship. In the first part of the sermon "Over and Above Naturalism," Barkley admires the factual knowledge unlocked by science, and yet reminds the Church that those material descriptions fail to answer the question of ultimate significance.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 2
I now respond directly to Dembski's analysis of "Darwinism" and how BioLogos differs from the view he critiques.
Series: Scripture and the Authority of God
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
Understanding Evolution: Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence, Part 1
In science, we don't really know the true way things actually work. What we have are theories—broad explanatory frameworks supported by experimentation, which we can use to make testable predictions about the natural world.
Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Possibilities and Second Chances
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.
Saturday Sermon: Gloriously Functional
Is Genesis 1 describing material creation or functional creation? Pastor Richard Dahlstrom of Bethany Community Church beautifully articulates the insights he has received through John Walton's book The Lost World of Genesis One and probes deep into the Biblical text with us.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 2
Despite their somewhat mysterious nature, transposon sequences make up a staggering 45% or more of our genome. They are the perfect parasites: using their host to provide resources, they maintain a "lifestyle" so simple that replication is essentially their only feature.
A Lively God
In today's video, Rev. Lincoln Harvey discusses our desire to "domesticate" the liveliness and abundance of God. Harvey notes that the Trinity highlights both the manyness and oneness of God, which can be hard to Christians to fully understand.

What's Christie's Favorite Thing About Being NJ Governor? [VIDEO]
Crowd laughs as second grade Montville resident's question is answered.
Audrey, a second grader from Montville, grabbed hold of the microphone during a town hall meeting in her town Wednesday to ask Gov. Chris Christie the question on most of the minds of people her age: "What's your favorite thing about being governor?"
Christie first answered seriously, but then gave his "fun answer."
Check out the video above to see what he had to say.
Don Mennie

Chris Christie lives near me in Mendham. We even went to the same high school in Livingston, albeit 20 years apart. I've never met him, but I see his entourage of black SUVs on our side streets from time to time. I like his attitude about things and the fact that he can respond/contribute to all manner of serious problems, adapt his tactics, and function positively despite the gridlock that is now overwhelming American national politics. Can he make a real difference long term? I hope so, and I applaud him for trying. The Republicans will be making a grave mistake if they ever push him aside.
2:47 am on Thursday, February 28, 2013
Well to push him aside, it would take the strength of every Republican in all 50 states.

I think governor Christie is one of the best governors we've had in NJ. He's a real, down to earth guy.
Ricky, enough with the fat jokes. Lets grow up and realize fat, thin, white, black etc. really doesn't make the person. He keeps it real. No one is perfect.
12:08 pm on Thursday, February 28, 2013
>Ricky, enough with the fat jokes< Never called him 'fat', I grew up watching the Honeymooners so blame Alice not me lol.
8:31 am on Thursday, February 28, 2013
Gov Christie is an affable, man on the street sort of individual and I like him personally, especially his leadership during and currently with the Post-Sandy clean-up. But the bottom line....is the bottom line. New Jersey ranks just 4th in the nation as the worrst state to recover from the recession (glad to know that we are just ahead of Wyoming, Alabam and Mississippi-woopy) and we have one of the highest unemployment rates in the counrty. I know, I know, the recession hit us bad, but it also hit New York and Connectict just as bad, but the difference is that their Democratic Governers not only cut spending but also usd a sensable approach to raise taxes (ya know, wort of what Bill Clinton did on a natinal level in the mid-1990's tht ushered in significant growth and 3 years of budget surpluses).. New York and Connecticy are doing fine-much lower unemployment and solid economic growth. Christie's adherence to "no new taxes, ever!" may play to the right wing primary voters in Iowa, Texas and Louisiana in the 2016 Republican primaries; just wish he would concentrate on whats best for New Jersey now, not his presidential ambitions in 2016. I must admit that the $500,000+ that Christie raised for George Bush in the 2000 elction, which elevated this small town civil-law attorney into the US Attorney for New Jersey was certainly money well spent. Who says pay to play dosn't get results.

Raising taxes does not create jobs and will not lower the unemployment rate one bit or drive economic growth. We already have some of the highest taxes in the country. If high taxes did create economic growth, we'd be growing by leaps and bounds already.
Michael J. Klatsky
6:32 pm on Thursday, March 21, 2013
Ojo Rojo,
The vast majority of property owners in Northern NJ do contribute their "fair share" to the true costs of running municipalities.
Rather, even with the current "high" taxes rates, most towns only collect about 60% of operating costs through revenue alone.
They consistently rely on state bailouts - such as the Local Government Aid progam and the like.
Building towns zoned for 95% single family homes was the worst fiscal decision we ever made as a democracy. The revenue return per sq. foot is downright abysmal compared with more traditional types of town construction. (they exist is almost every town too - they were all built with private money, and private analysis on return on investment before the massive gov't interference in the housing industry Post-WWII)
10:36 am on Thursday, February 28, 2013
Well, I guess the significant economic boost we got under the balanced approch of tax increases and spending cuts we got Clinton, as well as under Ronald Reagan (under the term "revenue enhancers", ya know, when Reagan closedtax loopholes, which resulted in an effective tax increase that still rates as the highest that this country has so far had) must have been a dream. We sure know what cuting taxes only achieved for this country under Bush 2. a complete economic meltdown. In 1999, the CBO estimated that if all we did was follow the balanced approach of Bill Clinton, out national debt would have been eliminated in 2011. I agree, raising taxes alone does not work, and we all know what cuting taxes alone has achieved fort this country. But a "balanced" approach of targeted tax increases and spending cuts, such as that followed by Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and the current Governers of New York and Connecticut, does work. I, like most most New jersey residents, personally like Christie and would love to sit and have a beer with him, but I do see him looking in the forward view mirror at how conservative primary voters in Iowa in 2016 will view his current policies in New Jersey as a negative, not a positive for this state. Face it-if, in addition to spending cuts (which i support) Christie also raised taxes to get our finaicial house in order, we in new Jersey would benefit, but he could kiss his presidential ambitions goodby.

Christie is a moderate Republican, otherwise know as a liberal democrat to the most parts of the conservative "red" states in this country and to the "hijacked" Republican Party. The only true conservative politician in New Jersey is our recently gerrimanderd congressman Scott Garrett, so folks, please follow Mr. Garrett's lead and grow Christmas Trees on your property like Mr. Garrett does. That way we can all benefit by having our property taxes reduced to nothing, have no money to pay off our state debts, pensions and public workers and watch our state soar into the economic stratosphere because, after all, cutting taxes is such a smart economic move for a state like New Jersey that is mired in debt.

Scott Garrett will be voted out next election with his new district.
Adam Gussen, a local politician with no publicity and almost non-existent fundraising somehow managed to get nearly 43% of the vote.
I'd call that a close race.
With a strong contender, Garrett would certainly lose with 75% of the district in Democratic Bergen County.

Don't forget about freezer basics. Frozen fruits and vegetables provide a nourishing alternative to fresh produce and can help you prepare a healthy meal or snack when you're in a pinch. Edamame (soybeans in the pod), peas, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots, corn, and veggie stir-fry combos go from the freezer to plate in no time. Berries, pineapple, mango, and peaches are delicious to eat frozen right out of the bag or can be added to your favorite smoothie recipe.
Having the right condiments and seasonings on hand can help you prepare tasty and healthy meals without added fat and sodium. Be sure to stock your pantry with low-sodium chicken and vegetable broth, claim juice, canned tomatoes and tomato paste, marinara sauce (no sugar added), light coconut milk (for soups and curries), low-sodium soy sauce, dijon mustard dry white wine, balsamic vinegar, fresh garlic and ginger, and a variety of dried herbs and spices (e.g., Italian blend, curry powder, chili powder, red pepper, black pepper, no-salt/no-MSG mixed herb seasoning).

Reed announced his decision in a full-page ad in Sunday's Daily Journal. He cited several factors leading to the move, including a desire to spend more time with his family and resume work at his family business – Reed's Department Store.
"I never intended it to be a life-time career change," Reed said in his ad. "We have a family business in a very competitive marketplace. My family and business associates have stepped up to fill a void for a president who has been pitching in some nights and many Saturdays and Sundays."
Since taking office in July 2009, Reed has implemented numerous changes in city government, some of which he mentioned in his ad. He created the position of a municipal communications director, established a recurring fund for neighborhood revitalization, ushered in the passage of Sunday alcohol sales, and formed volunteer-citizen task forces to improve neighborhoods, education, health and fitness and the economy.
Also under his term, which ends July 2013, Reed helped Tupelo cinch its fourth All-America City award and win its first successful annexation case in more than two decades.
His time in office hasn't been without controversy, though. Although he denied a direct role in rehiring Assistant Police Chief Robert Hall, the episode brought criticism of the mayor during the first year of his term.
Hall, who initially had left the city in 2006 after pleading guilty to misdemeanors, resigned the second time after the state declined to reinstate his police certification.
Reed also faced criticism and opposition to his attempts to implement a sweeping neighborhood revitalization plan. The first draft would have used Major Thoroughfare Program roads funds to finance it; the second and more comprehensive plan would have used urban renewal bonds instead.
Neither plan passed the City Council, although smaller strategies have since been implemented, including a new rental permitting program and an annual $600,000 neighborhood revitalization allocation.

About our Golfing Events
We offer Wenesday night weekly events during the spring and summer months, plus specially organized weekend golfing trips to nearby golf resorts. Check these pages for the schedules.
Wednesday Night Golf at Jefferson District Park: We play in the spring and summer each year starting around 5:00PM. Participants are notified by e-mail of their specific starting times. This is casual golf for those that want to get in a "quick-nine" in the evening. We welcome the inexperienced as well as the experienced golfer! The idea is to come out after work, meet other Ski Club golfers and join in playing a round. Wear your SCWDC golf shirt so we can recognize each other. Afterwards we can meet at a local restaurant for food and refreshments and to compare scores.
Fees: $17 for 9-holes
Weekend Golf : We plan Spring, Summer and Fall trips to easy-driving-distance golf resorts. The weekend plans include golf at two different courses and some combination of happy hours and dinners. For those that can leave early on Friday, sometimes another golf round is scheduled on the way to the resort, although this cost is not included in the weekend trip price. The plans for each weekend are different, so check out the event listed below. Most weekend expenses are covered in the price except your gas!

For the sake of Massachusetts, let's hope that Elizabeth Warren gets better than this.
She was always a mildly underwhelming candidate, clutching her talking points like they were a satchel of gold — millionaires and billionaires, a level playing field, big oil. As deft as she was at slogans, she was never so good at answering questions, which was odd for a person of such experience and substance.
The ants in their pants pundits have risen again. Prof Warren is Senator Elect not the present Senator. The issues to be voted on before January belong to Scott Brown. It is his opportunity to show how "bipartisan" he can be by preventing filibuster gridlock on what needs to be done. He should be asked if he will vote the will of the people of this Commonwealth and the nation. It is not Democrats that have been obstructing assurance of desired American values but the alternative reality Republicans. When Elizabeth Warren goes to Washington and raises her hand to be sworn in, gets a lay of the legislative landscape, that is the time to weigh in on legislative priorities. The questions she was asked pertain to the lame duck session and she has no influence over that. In the arena of the hurried news cycle that makes more mistakes than it should or overreacts to out of context statements it brings us poor government. During the campaign Prof Warren stated the social values that need addressing and will turn it into legislative action at the right time. In the meantime the pressure should be on Sen Scott Brown to understand what his defeat means. He should use the time left to him to exercise his legislative duties accordingly. It will give him a chance to truly show he is for us. I believe Sen Elect Warren was extending a courtesty to those who must finish their term responsibly doing the people's work on their own merit.

She had to ask an aide "Can I say that?" she has zero experience and it's shows, we elected a Senator that will go to Washington and basically just do as she's told. The women decided it was more important to get a represenative that will protect their reproductive rights.
"she was far better than the other option" ??? Hardly, and only in the bleeding blue state of Massachusetts. Openness and honesty? Hah.
Brian - why do all of you press types care about style. She represents all of those who did not vote for her as well as her base. Did you really want to see a mouth-btreathing liberal who would simply further anger Brown voters? Unlike the other polished politicians you have seen, she was not raised as a candidate from birth.
So during an "easy" press conference she doesn't elaborate enough on whether or not she'll have a diverse staff and she's being disrespectful? 36 hours after winning and months before she is sworn in and she is letting us down? How about we reserve some judgement for when she actually, you know, has the job.
She's not a professional politician. She hasn't been doing this ALL her life. Let her warm up to the job. She must be overwhelmed by the magnitude of the victory that she has acheived. I for one will reserve judgement on her and look at her actions during her time in office. I'm sure she will grow into the position more than Mr Brown ever did. And in six years I'm sure you'll have a raft of accomplishments to point to as she gets reelected.
You know if we had elected Martha Coakley 2 and half years ago, she would have gotten it right away. She would have given you the whiz bang press conference. She was another champion of the people. But then Massachusetts as well as the rest of the country was smitten by the shiny new prattle of tea party and confused style over substance
Perhaps you failed to notice that Elizabeth Warren is not the Senator from Massachusetts, Scott Brown is. He will be casting some very important votes in the next couple of months and my hope is that he and she will have some "discreet" conversations and explore how each of them can benefit the citizens of the Commonwealth in the most effective way. When Mr. Brown became Senator Brown the seat was vacant. He could say what he wanted to say without a care in the world. I respect her for respecting the fact that she is the senator-elect and Scott Brown has to be respected as the sitting Senator. It will not be easy for either one of them but they need to talk and understand each other over the next crucial months and, if it is possible to do so at all, to do so quietly.
This comment has been removed.
Great time Boston Globe to notice maybe she isn't what she is supposed to be.......
Brian weren't you a big supporter of Warren - why change after election day ?
Mr. McGrory: Welcome back to the practice of journalism.
I am afraid that you have it right. What we are seeing now is more of the reason she was kicked out of the agecy she created - -not only the Republicans but also all of the Deomcrats were sick to death of her.
Congratulations to Prof. Warren for winning election. That is an awe-inspiring accomplishment, period. But you can just look at her acceptance speech, and the way she barked "NO"! at her cheering supporters to quiet them, to see the real human being behind the "hammered by billionaires" root. She makes John Kerry look like Ronald Reagan.
Now she will never, ever be voted out. This is kind of a sad day for us, the chumps who voted her in. Too bad there was not a columnist or two around to tell us more about her when we had time to decide. Not that I am bitter. Say hi to your rooster for me.
This is what happens when you elect a rookie to a high level office. We finally had a great, bi-partisan senator and you and other liberal voters kicked him to the curb. We are stuck with her now and the state is once again a laughingstock. Hold on to your wallets.
HE WAS NOT NOT NOT NOT bipartisan. You guys live in fantasy land. He was bought sold and owned by big oil and any other big corporation behemouth that GOUGES us and PROBABLY you unless you are part of the 1%. He will NEVER if Democrats stay vigilent see high office again. Let him run for dog catcher of Wrentham!
I won't accept any criticism of Senator Warren. for god's sake the woman just took office. Where the economy is concerned she probably needs to speak softly but WILL carry a big stick. I have NO DOUBT NONE whatsoever she will work against the big money interests, big banks and big corporations trying to hoard all the cash and leave nothing for the 99%.
Leave the woman alone I say, and let her do her job. She just got to there... SHEESH!
Leave her alone? Are you serious? She has spent tens of millions of dollars and invaded my home with calls and advertising begging and pleading for this focus. She won and therefore now has our full attention. BTW, she's not even "there" yet. My Senator is closing out his term with the aplomb that I would expect of anyone on the public stage.
OMG, Ms Rosen, you forgot to take your meds, once again, this morning. Or perhaps your understanding of our election laws are different than what they actually are. Warren is officially a "Senator-elect" and she has not taken office yet. She, like every other elected politician will lose her backbone (what little she has left from her battle with osteoparosis) when she confronts the financial corporations. Just ask Brooksley Born, the former CFTC Chairwoman, what caused the the financial crisis that we are in. It was a Republican controlled House & Senate and a Democratic President, Bill Clinton, that enacted the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 that permitted outright gambling in the financial markets. The Act received overwhelming bi-partisan support and coupled with Barney Frank's oversight of Fannie & Freddie, we are in financial ruin. Your hatred for the 1% is clearly misdirected.
McGrory asserts that Warren was "better than the alternative" (i.e. Scott Brown). Really? Well, I guess we're going to find out if this over-caffeinated, hectoring schoolmarm really is a better alternative than the high-integrity, hard-working, respected, admired, accomplished, truly bi-partisan Senator whom she'll be replacing soon. As it stands now, a woman who has spent her life in faculty lounges and wagging her finger at other people seems mighty uncomfortable with answering even the softest questions. It's almost as if a woman who campaigned as a mouthpiece for the Democrat machine, parroting tired, narrow, cynical talking points built around contraception, class warfare, and the 'big banks', is suddenly discovering that she now needs to speak for people other than single women and the poor souls in Brockton and Lynn who are waiting for the next Kennedy to save them. And, on the basis of the fact that she deferred to the governor on a question about defense spending, she may need to be educated on what Senators actually do, too. She's likely to be a dismal Senator, mainly because she'll probably annoy the living daylights out of her colleagues within one month. Of course, that won't matter to the fools who elected her. The rest of us will have to console ourselves with the fact that she'll be fun to watch.
Noonzer likes to critize Warren but when he comes to recommending Brown he should think about it a little more. She brings to the Commonwealth a great deal of experience in Washington and in the U.S. She has appeared before the Supreme Court and appellate courts several times (not representing just corporations but seeking to protect the interests of individuals as well--a fact that Brown incorrectly described in his campaign. Compare that to Brown who has worked at closing some real estate transactions from his home for some banks he mostly refused to identify and otherwise got his income from working for the state or the federal government. Brown: traded in his interest in MA for a higher office with the Maryland national guard; has already gotten himself a job in the Pentagon working for the general in charge of the national guard; has forgotten that people don't regard seven days in Afganistan as a real tour of duty; was "truly bi-partisan" only when he knew it wouldn't cause him any problem with his GOP senate members. If noonzer thinks that big banks aren't a problem and that voters don't recognize that they were much of the cause of the Great Recession he needs to think again.
Gosh Brian, it must really stink when a politician answers each question and then stands ready for the next one. Especially when those questions are either unremarkable ("how do you feel about the number of woman who were elected"), silly ("will your staff be diverse") or premature ("how do you plan to vote on the fiscal cliff"). She elaborated on her answers to the first; really, how does one answer the second without alerting the reporter to the fact he/she has asked a really stupid question ("of course I intend to have a diverse staff you twit"? Or how about "no, I plan to have all older, smart, well educated women just like me"?) or the final one, which conveniently forgets that we have a senator at the moment who is in office over the next crucial two months, who will be the one actually voting and with whom she must work. Good Lord, you guys in the media just really need to get over yourselves sometimes.
For the sake of Massachusetts let us hope that the political commentators cut Senator-elect Warren a little slack. She isn't a Senator yet, must wait for two months to exert any influence on what the Senate does during that time, has to deal with the issue of what committees to be named to and a whole lot of other issues. Why try to give her a hard time after her having spent the better part of year achieving the result that is so important to this state.
IMHO, the questions that she was handed yesterday were utter "softballs". I think that's why the press was so horrified and spent so much time on them last night and again today. The hardest question she had to deal with was the one regarding defense spending and I'm fairly certain my 14 year old son would have hit that one into center field.

You got what you deserve. She doesn't need you anymore or the people who voted for her. She is an eleitist. This is a perfect example of why she wasn't confirmed for the consumer post in D.C. Her behavior is perfectly consistent with the know it alls from Harvuud. Let's just see how bipartisan she will be in the Senate.
I was going to post my own comment but this one is even better that what I had teed up. I hope the professor/Senator elect understands the metaphor "be careful what you wish for". She will get less starting leeway than Bobby Valentine the day she takes the peoples seat. Pair her sometimes shrill, sometimes vapid responses with her inexperience and we are in for some rough days. Yes, I was a sore loser for a solid 24 hours. Now I'm even more motivated to ensure that we are well represented. Yesterday's press conference was an utterly embarrassing event that only serves to reaffirm that she was the wrong choice. RD
I didn't vote for her, and I certainly understand she is probably exhausted and even a bit nervous about the new responsibilities. However, I would have thought somebody who just spent 14 months of public speaking nearly every single day and facing cameras and microphones would be a lot more at ease after the election.
Of all her comments the one that puzzled me the most was "I was a lot more discreet as a candidate than I was in real life."
I don't know Elizabeth Warren that well, but I would imagine that, in real life, she was intelligent enough to stay on the issues with Brown when every inclination was to call him out on misinformation, lies, half-truths and utter fabrications, not to mention fantasy. That's just my opinion. Please don't dig up the heritage and hair things again: leave that to Donald Trump.
Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah! What did you voters expect? You elected an academic who thinks she knows all the answers, and doesn't expect to be questioned. Don't worry, she'll be ready to answer lots of questions, once Harry Reid tells her what to say. Congrats, Massachusetts voters --- doing this and re-elected Tierney as well. You guys must be *so* proud!
Senator Warren (I love the sound of that), I believe that fighting for consumers and "the little guy" is built into your DNA. This will make you a force in the Senate, as a leader and a legislator. Such committment and passion will also undoubtedly lead to you saying things sometimes in a manner that might be not exactly how you intended, and might offer the opposition an opportunity to jump on you and twist your words. Guess what?? We don't give a rat's a__ what they say!! Let it fly, have some fun being yourself and saying the things that need to be said, and come to you naturally, and let your supporters deal with the stuff (as Joe Biden calls it). Congratulations and Good Luck!!!
"Still water runs deep" and Elizabeth Warren, our US Senator-elect, is not a loose cannon. Get over the "Rah-rah years" of Scott Brown and the stroking of the media with printable crap.....This is what the voters overwhelmingly (8 pts) elected, Substance Over Style. I look forward to hearing Elizabeth Warren tell me things that are meaningful, accurate, substantive and valid. That's what a US Senator does.

Brian you answered your question early in the article. She is a hand puppet...."billionares and millionares, big oil, my father was a janitor...". She has no ideas and even less style and charisma. Lets be honest we all know that if Scott Brown had the exact same beliefs and voting record but had a "D" after his name he would have rolled Warren 70-30. That is the fraud of the Massachusetts democrat electorate. Good luck with this lightweight senator!
Maybe Warren is coming to terms with the fact that she will spend the next six years in the senate listening to hired windbags giving meaningless speeches! That is punishment enough for anyone!
What a stupid, petty column. So Elizabeth Warren didn't run her mouth and ramble on with a bunch of meaningless platitudes and now some reporters seem to have had their feelings hurt. Frankly, I will find it refreshing to have a politician who speaks when she actually has something to say and doesn't waste my time with a bunch of baloney whose only pupose is to feed hacks like McGrory. If I wanted a glib backslapper I would have voted for Brown.
Elizabeth Warren is a tough, smart, powerful lawyer who properly treated the Boston press corp as a collection of hostile witnesses. Ms. Warren gave those reporters ample opportunity to question her about issues during the campaign -- and got nothing but garbage about her "heritage". I applaud her dignity, and encourage the Boston press to grow up.
I'm disappointed that I did not take this line of comment first!!! It was always there, day after day, as the media dwelled on Brown BS, probably thinking Elizabeth Warren is a smart, intelligent, capable woman, but she came from the cover of Time Magazine. Voters prefer the all-American look, without being threatened by gravitas, that comes from the pages of Cosmopolitan . Your are correct and that dignity never left her, no matter how much crap was shoveled her way. Well, it's over. Maybe now we can get on with it and leave the miniscule junk like heritage and hair to Donald Trump.
Shocking, truly shocking that Elizabeth Warren seems not to really care for the press. Guess what? A large segment of the general public shares her general disregard. Gee, after this election season, I can't figure out why. We know, we know, you love guys in barn coats and pickup trucks who you would love to have a beer with, and by all means ignore those nasty, complicated issues. They don't produce sound bites or headlines.
I'm oddly conflicted (a true rarity). I actually agree nearly 100 percent with your sentiments but at the same time I believe that she doesn't really have the luxury of being able to avoid the press, does she? In fact I would argue that not only were those questions so easy to answer, she also has an obligation to perform in pitch perfect harmony before she goes to DC and that includes answering questions no matter how seemingly obvious or in the case of Military spending.... pertinent to her new postion. If she wasn't feeling well, she should have never migrated to the conference room. If she wasn't prepared or willing to answer even the most basic questions be it in front of the cameras or behind closed doors at 2AM, she should never have tossed her name into the hat.
The really scary thing is that she was elected to represent and advocate for the citizens on Massachusetts in the highly-charged, hyper-partisan atmosphere of Washington. There are billions of dollars of federal money, and hundreds of thousands of Massachusetts jobs at stake, and we are all relying on her now. She had better learn how to successfully deal with "adversarial" relationships - otherwise, Massachusetts will be steam-rollered by those who are doing a better job advocating for THEIR own constituencies.
OK, let's quit with the Warren-bashing and see how she fares in Washington. Isn't that what is important?
What a dumb column.
That's not why she isn't talking now. Probably she has been told from higher ups to keep quiet now. (Just like the State Dept. is keeping quiet about what they knew about Benghazi). She KNOWS that a tax on the "Rich" sounds appealing but it will produce little revenue for the government. So soon you will be hearing (or not hearing from the press) from Harry Reid that we need "Carbon credits", and a VAT (a national sales tax) like European countries where up to 20% of an item's sales price is from a VAT. And there are all of the new taxes to pay for ObamaCare. These new taxes will hit the Middle Class, because that's where the REAL money is. And as other bloggers have noted, what ever Harry Reid and Barack Obama ask for will automatically be Elizabeth Warren's position. She will be a Loyal subject for the regime. And everybody should watch where California is headed, because that's where the rest of the country is headed.
Miker6 right out of faux news. You get an A+ for parroting the repub line. making the rich pay their fair share. Romney with a fortune of 250 mil pays 14% that is not fair. You haven't figured out the Obama care will reduce health care costs because Faux News hasn't told you yet. Benghazi oh really big cover up oops I forgot thats Fox News conspiracy theory. Your right up to date another A+

Elizabeth Warren will give Massachusetts exactly what the Democratic controled Senate tells her to say and do under the dicates of President Obama. What you want is what Scott Brown could have given you....Fair open and honest representation which this State tossed aside in both State and Federal election. You have bought a "pig in a poke"with a Socialistic belief that every hand deserves a government handout , hard work is for the foolish,and all you finances belong to this same government. Hope you enjoy the ride down the slippery slope.Trust you will throw us all a rope and save us from this Liberal Progressive slide Elizabeth Warren.....if you can.
I really respect McGrory, but this column reeks of his own hurt feelings as a journalist. Who cares? What I care about is what Warren actually does as our junior Senator.
Did anyone expect anything more from her? She's a horrible, elitist witch. Excellent column McGrory. Glad someone at the Globe is exposing this fraud.
Brian after a column like this, why do you work for the Globe that supported her? Is she evolving like Joey Kennedy? She is an elitist and in the end she like Kerry feel they don't have to answe questions.
What, Opus 0? That's ridiculous. If you have ever written to Kerry, he returns the most detailed and thoughtful replies of any public servant in the nation. I certainly hope, with Brian, that she loosens up and acts more like her regular self as a widely loved and respected teacher, who is known to have no loss for words.
It will be interesting to see if leftists around the nation get their money's worth our of Liz. She is off to a rough start.
Perhaps you haven't read the memo yet Brian - our leaders are no longer required to answer substantive questions which are weird, and un-promeerican. From the details you've provided it appears that no one asked any quetions allowing her to respond with some of form of "greedy, white guys..." What gives?
Even McGrory grudgingly admits his aggrieved column is lamenting "style over substance", and Warren's seeming lack of that style yesterday. I say, "Get used to it." We members of the electorate always cry to get "real" citizens to fill our legislatures, but then, when we get one like Warren, we wonder where the "real politician" is. SHE IS NOT SOME OLD-TIME, GLAD-HANDING POLITICIAN, who'll play the media game. She may be less easy about pumping the flesh than Scott Brown was, but you know what, she has so much more going for her than Brown, and her style and approach works perfectly in the Senate, where a lower-key approach wins the day. I've seen the footage of her grilling Timothy Geithner, and I'm not worried that she will lose all that passion when she gets to D.C. She' going to be a refreshing Senator, and I believe she'll accomplish way more in her first couple of years than "do-nothing" glad-hander Scott Brown did. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Oh, and I get a kick out of the right-wingers out here who constantly complain and whine about the biased "liberal" media, and who now suddenly ally themselves with that very same press that they complained about JUST YESTERDAY! "Yeah, you go, Globe and McGrory!" Hah! You can't have it both ways, commenters. The press didn't change overnight to your point of view; they just haven't yet figured out our newest Senator.
I don't think it is just "Right Wingers" who are dissappointed. I find it hard to believe that 48% of Massachusetts is... Right wing! Let's not forget that "right wing" in the commonwealth is probably viewed as way left of center in points south and west of New York City. As a liberal, I'm dissappointed in her first press conference but I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that she's very tired from the campaign. I also voted for Scott Brown simply because I like balance and I think we had that in our representation in him. However, it's not the end of the world that he lost. Senator Elect Warren can and probably will do some good things, but she better start showing some spark. Being Senator is about showmanship. It's a higher office, it's more prestigious. She needs to learn to wear the role... she's not doing that right now.
MPM: we're not getting along very well. We just got rid of ol' Style Over Substance, Heat Over Light and Info Over BS, even though he will be there for a few more weeks. I think it is prudent to cut Elizabeth Warren a bit more slack-time before expecting her to move the mountains back into alignment! You said: "Being Senator is about showmanship." You can't be serious!! This is the Senator-elect from Massachusetts. Above all, they get things done!
What we see is the fatal flaw that is Liz Warren; a machine-bred candidate out form under the protection of her DNC handlers. What we also see is Brown' fatal campaign flaw in not expandng upon that difference. He decided to run based upon his local experience and desire to look out for the best interests of MA. She was prodded to run by the DNC and other special interests to look out for theirs. She was a bad campaigner because she truly was the reluctant candidate. She will be a weak senator because she is a front for the special interests who decided to run her in the first place.
Brian skips past her handling of the defense spending question. Never mind how she tried to pass that off to Patrick, it was the shallow answer that is troublesome. That sector accounts for a signficant portion of our state's economy. I am troubled by the possible local impact that looms over the horizon. I would even be more troubled if I were a machinist at GE Engine in Lynn or a machinist at Raytheon in Andover. I hope their union rep explained how Liz was going to help them before he told them to help her.
Brian McGrory, you are such a jerk! Give the poor woman time to breathe! What is it about Democrats that they like to eat their young? You like to b*tch about career politicians but when you get what you want, a citizen legislator, you b*tch because they're not smooth enough for you. You make me sick.
MPM: I don't ever recall reading anything you have written about the present US Senator in that seat. Or the senator-elect. Guess I'm not paying much attention, or I'm just lucky, because IMHO your post is without merit or verification or vindication. Where is even a snippet of evidence for your last sorry statement?
But she's NOT better than the alternative, Brian. She never was. And now that the election's over, you've taken off your rose-colored liberal glasses and are finally seeing what those of us smart enough to vote for Scott Brown knew all along: Liz Warren's got no game. Her academic career was predicated on a lie that pole vaulted her from a commuter college in Texas straight into the Ivy Leagues, which actively touted her as a "woman of color." Her much-vaunted bankruptcy research prompted other researchers to charge her with incompetence and scientific misconduct. She was so abrasive and obnoxious in Washington, Obama didn't even nominate her to head the new bloated bureaucracy she founded. Her campaign was nothing but a series of rehearsed talking points that Warren repeated ad nauseum, no matter what question was put to her. ("What's your favorite color?" Warren: "Middle class folks are getting hammered...") And when pressed for substance instead of talking points, Warren brushed off such questions with a "How dare you question me? Do you know who I am?" attitude worthy of John Kerry. And you and the rest of the media, Brian, let her get away with it. So stop pretending you didn't know the empress had no clothes. The truth of it is, Liz Warren could have participated in the Manson murders and you, the rest of the liberal media and the moonbats of this state STILL would have voted for her simply because she had that big old "D" after her name. Now, we're stuck with her. For that, I suggest you don one of those pointy hats with a "D" on it and go sit in the corner for the next six years.
I hate those voters whose decisions are based on nothing more than 'I don't like the looks of him' (and that, I would bet, is what motivates more voters than we would like to admit). I have to say that my overall impression of Elizabeth Warren influenced my vote the other day, and based on this alone I was amazed Scott Brown lost. The holds are off now, and I would guess Massachusetts will soon find that they have elected to the senate a humorless, disdainful scold to represent them - which has always been my impression of Elizabeth Warren.
For the love of god, she hasn't even started the job yet. She was 36 hours removed from a grueling race. Seriously, dude, get a life. If she becomes the equivalent of Clarence Thomas and is the Silent Senator, then sure -- whack her all you want. But that she wasn't magnanimous enough in her first post-election press conference? Give me a break. Lighten up.
Yet another waste of ink in the Globe. I honestly question the paper's judgment far more than I should -- and far more than I used to when it was actually engaged in journalism.
You get what you voted for moonbats. She will likely go down as one of the most ineffective senators ever to represent MA. Her hyper-partisanship may appeal to the liberal northeast but she now has to go to Washington and work with those she demonized throughout her campaign. No Richard Lugar there to bond with. It will be great fun to hear all the blame heaped on "others" (those nasty Republicans) as an excuse for her failure to accomplish half of what Scott Brown did in two years.
This comment has been removed.
Did her first press conference after her election night win leave something to be desired? It sure did. But let's give Elizabeth Warren a little time to grow into her new role of U.S. senator, shall we? Most of us don't have to plant ourselves before all of those tv cameras and reporters in the days after the completion of a huge project (i.e. an election, in her case). Let's let her get some rest, get ready to head to D.C., then let her knock our socks off. Just a little patience, please.
She's not an experienced politician so she doesn't have a bible in her back pocket telling her how to treat you reporter types who expect politicians to polish your backsides.
She answered the questions without giving you two paragraphs of meaningless junk for your news stories, so you have to crab about it because you might have to actually get creative.
I couldn't less whether she's a great effusive speaker at a news conference. All I care about is how she performs in the Senate. You, apparently, care more about the former.
If you think *anything* is decided on the Senate floor, you live in a fantasyland. That ended two or three generations ago. Legislation is written and vetted in committees and backrooms and then brought to the floor for a vote. Those who deliver speeches do it to a nearly empty chamber, but they get their words in the Congressional Record.
Machines, otherwise known as grassroots organizations, are the result of hard work by volunteers that go door to door. There's nothing sinister about them, except in the minds of Republicans who have distain for us common folks. They might get their hands dirty. Democrats carry the vote in most urban areas because they have a big tent and everybody is welcome.
Are your surprised by her conduct? She acted the same way during the campaign as she ducked and dodged from reporters. The sainted Liberal Messiah does not like being questioned, and certainly does not have any credible answers. She was packaged by her handlers and offered little more than empty cliches. The Boston Globe enabled Liz Warren throughout the campaign by its softball treatment of her. Contrary to your assertion, she was not open and honest during the campaign. Indeed, she failed and refused to offer substantive questions about her practicing law without a license in Massachusetts, her theft of recipes from the New York Times News Service that she contributed to the POW WOW CHOW COOKBOOK, her falsely claiming Native American status over a course of nine years when she checked the box in a Law School Professor directory, her flipping foreclosed properties for profit in Oklahoma, her receipt of a 350K per year salary to teach one course at HLS, her denial of any knowledge that Harvard was touting her alleged woman of color status. Liz lied throughout the campaign, and you coddled her. Shame on you for beating up on Brown and promoting a woman of such poor character.
You sound like what we're now hearing about self critisism within conservative circles and Fox News. Propaganda and belief of their demonizing allegations were so consuming, they couldn't believe they lost the presidency and Senator Brown's seat. Your missive is a perfect example of these dillusions. Everything you say is just creative demonizing, twisting facts and total nonsense.
She's an extraordinary lady who married too young, then came from nowhere through adult education programs at state colleges and reached the highest level within the ranks of academia. And now she's a senator. Just amazing!
It is true that Elizabeth Warren obviously stuck to stock, lawyered up phrases like the "I didn't ask my parents for documentation, what kid would?" response (about her checking the box as a 38 year old lawyer suddenly discovering her heritage) or the "millionaires and billionaires" ( herself being one of the former and the latter consisting of 2 individuals in the state, Ernie Boch and Robert Kraft).
Elizabeth Warren worked closely wtih Holly Patreus in the consumer protection arena. My guess is that Warren had already heard about David Patreus's resignation and admitted affair with his biographer, therefore she was upset. Go easy folks.
"Question is, if it was a matter of national security, why did it wait months before Petraeus was forced out?"
You don't know that. No story I've read indicates that anyone knew anything about it until a few days ago. Of course, I don't do much reading of blogger fiction, whatever the blog's political slant. It may be that lots of people knew, even the White House, but at this point it's irresponsible for you to be stating as a fact something you've made up.
If Paula Broadwell worked for Warren, it certaily wouldn't make any difference. From what little I've read of Broadwell, she's extremely bright and very capable.
Too bad David Patreus didn't have the historic fortune like Eisenhower with his Kay Summersby affair. It was kept quiet and then revealed after he died.
It doesn't matter what she says and does. The liberal fools in this state will vote for her no matter what. I never could stand that women. She thinks she's better than everyone else!!
