The general evolution of tabletop roleplaying games in the last couple of decades has been towards streamlining and speed, abandoning a lot of the number-crunching minutiae of 1970s and 1980s games in favor of simpler and easier systems.Hackmaster goes running in the other direction. Screaming.This is the game played by most of the characters in Knights of the Dinner Table, which is a sort of barely-veiled parody of Dungeons & Dragons. A few years into the magazine's life, its publisher Kenzer began to branch out into making games of its own, and licensed the rights to the first two editions of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons in order to make a real version of Hackmaster.The result is a fully playable if murderously complex fantasy tabletop RPG with a healthy dose of in-jokes and meta-humor from the "Knights" comic strip. It reads exactly like the game from the strip, complete with bizarre rules, typographical errors, and lengthy digression-filled rants from Gary Jackson that read like something between a highly defensive, neurotic man speaking out on behalf of his work and the Unabomber's manifesto.Take first edition AD&D, with its weird class balance, gender issues (e.g. the infamous "strength cap" for female characters), huge number of charts, and idiosyncratic rules, and add a "building points" system, merits/flaws, a huge critical hit table with thousands of potential results, and a ridiculous variety of monsters. It deliberately eschews streamlining and handwaving; you roll for everything, you keep track of everything, and cutting corners is not allowed. It's a bit more coherent than first edition AD&D ever was, but it jumps on any chance it has to add more charts and tables.The first actual edition of Hackmaster was published in 2001 as the fourth edition of the game, with the "Garweeze Wurld" from the "Knights" strips as its standard setting. In 2007, Kenzer's agreement with Wizards of the Coast expired, preventing them from using any copyrighted material from AD&D in Hackmaster. The game soon switched over to Hackmaster Basic, which contains all original material, and the original rulebooks for Hackmaster are out of print."Hackmaster Basic" has taken a turn for "more awesomeness" and has turned fantasy roleplaying on its head by keeping the old-school feel of AD&D, while at the same time, tricking out the rules and possibilities to new levels of excitement and faster play. The biggest change might be the count-up system that replaces the old "combat round" trope that gamers have gotten so used to. Instead of a fighter in combat swinging his sword at a monster and then waiting for his next round while twiddling his thumbs and hoping not to get hit, the fighter now must not only actively attack, but also actively defend. With opposed attack and defense roles, and the second by second count that turns combat into a fast-paced, don't blink or you'll miss it, hackfest, there is no boring waiting period for anyone involved in combat.With combat becoming more realistic, you might wonder if that is all there is to the game. But, it isn't. Not by a long shot. Magic users now have spell points that they can use in combat or in other ways, to cast spells that they've memorized to great effect, and even spells they haven't memorized at an increased cost of points.Clerics don't all become cookie-cutter healbots whose only purpose is to patch up the fighters after combat. They worship a variety of deities who all have various agendas. So, one might be good at healing, while another might be fantastic at combat or at other things.Player races available are awesome: From the savage Grel to the magical pixie fairy. Classes are much more varied as well, and each unique and fascinating.Hackmaster was a parody of AD&D, but now it has emerged from that cocoon to become the monarch of RPGs, while paying homage to its roots. The brazen attitude is still there, the ones the Knights so love, but, there it is a fresher, grittier, more realistic game now set in the Kenzer created world of Kalamar, a staple of RPGs for quite some time now.Its new, massive and beautiful tome, The Hacklopedia of Beasts, is like a rich field manual, written and illustrated with a new, fresh style and bound in dragon scales, with an appearance and detail to dominate all other monster manuals.The knights continue to play Hackmaster as it evolves. That new game can be played now.

Are libertarians blind to systems of central control that are less obvious than government?
Private property is a core value of libertarians. But does private property lead to a utopia of small landholders freely farming and trading?
Consider this: Whoever has land will use it to get more money, land, and political power leading to concentrations of wealth and power.

So this is not a problem of political affiliation, it is deeply linked to the way our brain is wired, and to our evolution. In whatever form of political organization you may choose, there will always be a group of people twisting the rules in order to concentrate the power.

Customer Reviews
it is a piece of junk should take it off the market does not charge the aa or c batteries like it says it does
This is the latest in a succession of similar units I have tried, both from SPG and elsewhere. I have never found one to work. This one won't charge at all if the batteries are at more than 1/2 charge. When they are slightly below that, they get up to 1/2 charge but quickly fade. I'll be returning it.
Just returned did not work. Also seems of poor quality
From my experience thus far, it does not charge alkaline batteries!
Good value for this product.

Exploring the 2014 Chiang Mai Flower Festival
To see more photos and videos of this year's flower festival, explore the สวนสาธารณะหนองบวกหาด (Nong Buak Hard Public Park), ประตูท่าแพ (Tha Phae Gate) and สะพานนวรัฐ (Nawarat Bridge) location pages and browse the #flowerfestival and #chiangmaiflowerfestival hashtags.
The 2014 Chiang Mai Flower Festival started yesterday in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Often referred to as the "Rose of the North" by Thai locals, the city of Chiang Mai is home to a wide range of rare and exotic flowers. The flower festival is held annually on the first weekend of February, which is the best season to see these flowers in full bloom.
During the flower festival, Buak Hard Park, located on the southeast corner of Chiang Mai's moat, turns into a theme park full of flowers. Magnificent floral displays are arranged throughout its garden and numerous pop-up shops line up to sell local flowers and plants. The highlight of the event is the Flower Festival Parade held on Saturday. Traditional Thai dancers and elaborately decorated floral floats work their way from Nawarat Bridge to Buak Hard Park, handing out flowers to spectators. The floats also carry contestants of the Miss Chiang Mai Flower Festival beauty pageant, another much anticipated event of the three-day festival.

3 refinance hurdles and how to jump them
Your loan-to-value and debt-to-income ratios are too high? Your credit score is too low? Fear not.
© SuperStock
Low mortgage rates have made refinancing an attractive proposition for homeowners who want to cut their monthly payment, extend their term or restructure their housing debt. Yet there are hurdles that can make refinancing difficult. Here are three of the most common refinance hurdles and ways to overcome them. (Bing: Best places to refinance home loan?)
Hurdle No. 1: Your LTV is too high
Your loan-to-value ratio, or LTV, is your loan amount expressed as a percentage of your home's current value. For example, if you want to borrow $80,000 and your home is worth $100,000, your LTV is $80,000 divided by $100,000 or 80%.
A higher LTV won't preclude refinancing, but you'll probably have to purchase mortgage insurance, which protects the lender if you default on your loan.
Read: How to use your home equity
Jump: If your LTV is on the high side, one option to consider might be the Home Affordable Refinance Program, which "allows certain borrowers who have loans that are owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to refinance without regard to the loan-to-value ratio," says Joe Parsons, senior loan officer at PFS Funding, a mortgage company in Dublin, Calif.
One catch, says Kirk Chivas, chief operating officer at First Commerce Financial in Wixom, Mich., is that your loan must have been originated on or before May 31, 2009, to refinance through HARP.
Two other high-LTV options might be the FHA Streamline Refinance program, if your loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration, or a loan guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, if you qualify for that. Given its 100% financing, no mortgage insurance and flexible qualification guidelines, Parsons describes the VA loan as "the best loan on the planet, by far."
A different option would be to lower your LTV by paying off a chunk of your mortgage. This approach is known as a cash-in refinance.
Hurdle No. 2: Your DTI is too high
Your debt-to-income ratio, or DTI, measures your capacity to pay your debts. For example, if your monthly income is $4,000 and your monthly minimum payments on your credit cards and other nonhousing loans total $800, your DTI is $800 divided by $4,000 or 20%.
Lenders' DTI guidelines can be flexible, but if you're carrying a high debt load relative to your earnings, your DTI might be a barrier to refinancing.
Jump: To lower your DTI, you'll need to earn more money or pay off some of your debts. Often, however, neither of those approaches is realistic.
Read: Need a mortgage? Try the Bank of Mom and Dad
"Typically, there's no solution," Chivas says. "People have gotten themselves in this position due to poor decision-making or a job loss of one or two people working in the household."

I had my first for sale posting deleted due to not enough information. I have subsequently redone that post to include all the information spelled out in the forum requirements. In addition I was able to post some pics of the instrument as well, but I haven't seen this new post coming through. Is there something else I need to do to get this posted?

I wonder if you can help. I would like to post a few pics of my sop for sale and when I go to images and click on it I get a request for a URL What am I doing wrong.

Hey Mike,
I was hoping for your opinion on the Zephyr I have listed in horns FS.What do you think it is worth ? I want to get on with concentrating on playing and paying some Dentist bills ! Any suggestions on books for me get on with phrasing,if you listen to my videos I feel I really suck on my improv.
Hey Mike,
Thanx so very much for the user title, now if I could just live up to it.... I've enjoyed SOTW for a number of years I just don't post a lot. It's always been very informative and good for a laugh or two. Thanks again for the acknowledgement it definitely means a lot to me.
Take care,
Charles McNeal....
An interesting side-note to the MartinMods thread: A couple of years ago I discovered Lance's new website, SaxophoneOasis.com. Because I've been using SaxOasis.com as my web-site name for around 8 or 9 years, I contacted Lance and suggested that he might want to change his websites name to avoid confusion. I pointed out all the groovy names still out there ready to be used such as SaxUniverse, SaxWorld, SaxObsession, etc...
He wasn't interested in anything I had to offer and continues to use SaxophoneOasis as his web-site name.
He has a rather hard head!
His mods look nice, but as a businessman he is an abject failure.
Tek care,
Good day Mike. I didn't realise that I am not allowed to post as a dealer, sorry about that. I assume I can post my personal items though, right? Is there a place where dealers can post their stuff? I am having a great promotion with the whole P.Mauriats at 35% off deal and I would like to give as many people as possible a chance to take advantage of an oppertunity like that.
Thanks for your help mike.
Im one of the unfortunate ones to have a saxophone with Lance since sept 2009. I sent him my Buescher big B tenor for the complete mods for $500 which i thought was more than reasonable
and now I regret sending it to him as i am unsure whether i will get it within the next 5 years the way he is going. I think Lance has bitten off more than he can chew and is swamped and if he has to manufacture each part
for each individual sax then Im afraid when I think of all the horns he has of customers that it will be 5 years. He always promises to send photos tomorrow and they never come. I did receive one about a year ago. But what really annoys the hell
out of me is that he emails me and tells me of some finish he is working on with one of his own horns when he should be working on ours. Anyway he seems a nice enough guy but I sure hope he gets stuck in and gets some flying
out the door soon before someone really spits the dummy.

The Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour is making a one-day stop in Charleston, coming to the Mountain State June 9.
An announcement was made March 5 at the Four Points by Sheraton hotel along Kanawha Boulevard, the street that will become the epicenter of the summer event.
The "seven cities in seven days" tour also will visit Concord, N.C,, Knoxville, Tenn., Norwalk, Ohio, Crown Point, Ind., Bettendorf, Iowa, and Wisconsin Dells, Wis.
It will be the 20th anniversary year of the Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour.
About 3,500 hot rods, muscle cars, custom trucks and performance cars are expected to be displayed in Charleston, the third stop on the tour. It is a free event for spectators that will last from noon-7 p.m.
"If you don't like car shows, you've elected the wrong mayor," joked Danny Jones, mayor of Charleston and a long time car enthusiast. "This is a big deal to bring Hot Rod Magazine here. It's a huge, mammoth event.
"Our community continues to make partnerships like this. We've had car shows before. My experience in it goes back 47 years."
Alisa Bailey, president of the Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau, estimated that the one day event will have an $850,000 economic impact for the area.
"This will be a great opportunity to bring people to 'Hip, Historic, Almost Heaven' Charleston, West Virginia," she said. "Hopefully many of them visiting for the first time will find this to be true and will come back again."
Jeff Dahlin, publisher of Hot Rod Magazine, said that over the seven-day tour, an estimated 80,000 attendees will take in "the world's largest traveling car show."
"We've wanted to bring the tour to West Virginia for some time," Dahlin said. "This year, we finally figured it out and were able to schedule the route so that we could get here. When all of those engines are thumping, it's quite a spectacle.
"It has grown to legendary status of being the ultimate hot rodding adventure."
Dahlin also expressed his delight about the unique Charleston venue, along the riverfront.
"It's going to be a beautiful stop for the Hot Rod Power Tour," Dahlin said. "I can't imagine how great it's going to look along this main drag with 3,500 cars — it's going to be something to see.
"Charleston is a great city that has a lot of car guys and girls," he added. "We've actually taken some heat for not being here any sooner."
According to Dahlin, the Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour will include a midway with about 80 car companies that greet visitors and give away products. GM is scheduled to bring an array of concept cars that have never been seen.
"The whole family can come," Dahlin suggested.
For car owners who wish to participate in the event, registration information can be found at hotrod.com. On-site registration will be available beginning at noon the day of the event.

Absolutely LOVE this Dr. I had a bad experience with my obgyn for the first pregnancy. During my second pregnancy I started off with another Dr but had to switch to Dr Velez because I was "high risk". Everything was ok but I was happy to have found such a great Dr. My only regret was not having been able to start my prenatal care with Dr. Velez. Not only is he great, he was there for the delivery of my baby which is something I can't say if my first obgyn. Definitely recommend him! Both he and his staff make you feel genuinely cared for when you walk into the office. If I decide to have another baby I won't doubt going back to him at all.

Dr. Velez ROCKS!! If I could I would carry him in my pocket. I'm 32 w/no kids. Last Feb I was experiencing pelvic pain and needed to find an OBGYN fast, so I made an appointment w/the nearest Dr I could find. My appointment was originally scheduled w/a female OBGYN (my preference), but when I arrived I discovered she no longer worked there, so they assigned me Velez. At first I was a bit apprehensive but after a few visits I realized that I was given a gem. He's not just your typically OBGYN he's smart with add'l expertise (Surgeon & Fertility Specialist). Found out I was prego w/an ovarian cyst the size of a grape fruit (Yikes! hints why I had pain). Unfortunately I lost the baby, which was sad. He was so sweet and compassionate and not in a weird way (like a father). He recommended we remove the cyst and was there with me the whole time. Since then, we have been trying to find healthy ways to get pregnant again. It's been a journey, but I'm glad I found him. He's truly a blessing!

Marital Status
In 2008, older men were much more likely to be married than older women--72% of men, 42% of women (Figure 2). Widows accounted for 42% of all older women in 2008. There were over four times as many widows (8.8 million) as widowers (2.2 million).
Divorced and separated (including married/spouse absent) older persons represented only 11.6% of all older persons in 2008. However, this percentage has increased since 1980, when approximately 5.3% of the older population were divorced or separated/spouse absent.

The Evans EC series is Evans' most popular new technology, loudly heralded by the drum industry.
Denoting edge control, the 2-ply, 7-mil EC2 heads incorporate a proprietary design on the underside circumference that tweaks desired overtones and eliminates unwanted ones. Not merely a blanket pre-muffling system, the EC-treated head is fine-tuned to retain a focused fundamental while retaining contemporary ambience, sustain, and sensitivity.
An Edge Control ring isolates and dampens higher overtones, enhances low-end and attack, and enables broader tuning and dynamic ranges. Unlike conventionally damped heads, the EC2 will not choke at higher tuning ranges, or loose its full-bodied presence when tuned low.
The EC2 Coated heads feature a translucent frosted coating that provides warm tone and additional focus. The EC concept is really a contemporary alternative. It's not a haphazard muffling system but a true, targeted tone enhancement. Its twin-ply with 7mil layers makes it the same as Evans clear EC2 head, but the translucent coating answers a call from drummers for a coated EC2, makes an amazing tonal difference, and simply looks great.
The Coated Snare Drum Head with Reverse Dot is a futuristic innovation in drumhead and overall drum sound. EC Snare heads combine two-plies of film (6.5mil external, 10mil internal) with Evan's Edge Control technology to produce a controlled sound while retaining resonance and sensitivity at all tuning and dynamic ranges. The addition of a specially designed patch on the Reverse Dot model lends extra durability, focus, and attack in the center.
At its heart, says Evans Product Manager Michael Robinson, the EC head is not damped. It's treated around the edges to tweak the overtones and response. For snare drums it's particularly effective and yields a pre-EQ'd sound that will please both player and sound engineer.
Get 3 drum heads in a convenient package with the EC2 Fusion and EC2 Standard Packages. The Fusion includes 10 inch, 12 inch, and 14 inch heads, while the Standard includes 12 inch, 13 inch, and 16 inch heads.
The EC2 Edge Control Drum Heads with SST Sound Shaping Technology provide dampening of your sound for a more optimized performance out of your drums. The SST gives you control over your ring thickness, density and width to providing the ability to remove certain annoying frequencies from your drum. Full optimization of attack, tone, length of sustain and tuning ease from each head size gives you the the sound of pre-EQ'd toms perfect for live sound and recording.

I don't want to give away my plans for Father's Day because you'll probably see it on the news but here's a small hint. It involved me battling and then befriending a bear just before we go ape shit on a local zoo for not offering brisket at their buffet BBQ. More on this at 11.
Looks like the upcoming season of Showtime's "Dexter" might in fact be its last. Nothing is official yet but CEO Leslie Moonves let on that the should would wrap after season 8, which is currently filming. I hope Dexter and his sister finally get together on the last season. Cause that's not creepy for everyone to watch.
I had forgotten that "Grave Encounters 2" was a thing but slap my ass and call me dusty because the follow up to the little haunted asylum flick that could is landing on DVD and Blu-Ray on March 12th. The plot of this one is pretty straight forward, some folks are obsessed with the footage in the original film and blah blah blah stuff happens. Don't ever slap my ass.
"Resident Evil 6" is going to come out on September 12, 2014. I don't know man, I don't know.
Remember a while ago when I said that the sci-fi Tom Cruise fronted "Oblivion" was going to hit IMax theaters prior to its official April 12th release date? Well it's not anymore, it's being pushed for that "Jurassic Park 3D" can stay in theaters a week longer. Dinosaurs > Tom Cruise.
So now you can get suspended from school for just shaping your breakfast pastry into the shape of a gun? I don't know how to feel about this.
Florida... woman... gun... Walmart... no coupons. That should cover it.
Well this sounds pretty cool. Director Kyle Kuchta is hard at work on a new documentary focusing on the horror convention circuit and the devoted fans who travel across the country to support the genre. The film is titled "Fantasum" and will continue filming in March at Monster Mania in Cherry Hill NJ. Right now the flick is set to come out in May so I assume I'll be getting a call asking if they can film me getting drunk at a hotel bar and yelling Rusted Root songs at people.
It looks like maybe Guillermo del Toro hasn't decided to put his big screen adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's "At the Mountains Of Madness" on the shelf after all. Or at least he confirmed that he wants to give the project another go with Universal, the folks who shut the project down because of rating and budget concerns. I know what you're concerned about and good news, Tom Cruise is still attached. I know! How the hell did they get him!?
Good news folks! Tom Six and star Dieter Laser have buried the hatchet and "The Human Centipede 3" is going to begin filming in May. Wait no, that's awful news.
And finally some sad news today. David R. Ellis, the director behind "Snakes On a Plane", "Shark Night" and a few other so bad they're good flicks passed away yesterday while filming his next movie down in South Africa. Ellis was 60 and working with Samuel Jackson again on a live action version of the Japanese anime film "Kite".
Shooting a home intruder is pretty nuts but still understandable. Shooting a home intruder in the face might be able to be chalked up to bad/good luck. Shooting a home intruder in the face five times... I'm not really sure what you call that.
Good news! We finally got a video of a live giant squid. Better news! We did it before those damn commies.
I've already made all the jokes I can think of about thinking Ryan Reynolds is hot and I've also already made the joke about how I've made all the jokes so I'm pretty much out of material here. Let's just get to the point then and talk about how he's in talks to play the lead in a new film titled "Voices". The film is a dark comedy about a factory worker who accidentally kills a woman and begins to hear voices as he tries to cover it up. Then let's talk about those two pools of wonderment he calls eyes.
"Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders is apparently in talks to direct Tom Cruise in a dark new version of Van Helsing. I know people on the intertubes blow things out of proportion a lot of the time with crap like this but I'm 99% sure my eyes will shoot blood if and when I'm forced to watch this.
Troubling news from the "Chronicle" camp. It looks like the smart folks over at Fox have shot down Max Landis' script for the sequel because they just want the same film as the first. What Fox isn't taking into account is the first film wasn't very good. And that whiny kid's face was all annoying when he started tossing around cop cars and crap. And the first film wasn't that good.
Yes they're making a "ThanksKilling 3" and no there wasn't a "ThanksKilling 2" and yes the reason for that is 100% confusing. There's something about the killer turkey trying to find a copy of the second movie... which never actually existed... and then a lot of puppets die or something. I'm just lost.
If you're in Texas, 19 and about to go to jail for underage drinking I guess you might as well just reach down and twist the arresting officer's nuts. What do you really have to lose at that point.
4 cops in Milwaukee are in hot water after they were busted abusing their rectal search privileges. Apparently every person who does a rolling stop doesn't have drugs smuggled up their back side. Maybe it is best to be on the safe side and check anyway though.
Just for this week lets not call today "Hump Day". Let's call it "Turkish Piledriver" day. Trust me it's better.
Much to my surprise Cortney Palm is not the name of a porn star but apparently an actual actress who has done actual movies. She's been confirmed for the cast of the upcoming "Silent Night" remake. The killer Santa flick already has Jaime King, Malcolm McDowell and Jamie Kennedy on board so things are shaping up nicely. Seriously, last name Palm? That's fake, right?
"The Dead" is so hot with the kids right now and it looks like the cult hit has already scored itself a sequel Well alright it's not official yet. But there's a script. And everyone wants to make it. And they're going to make it. But it's not official.
If you're like me then you loved the show "Chuck" but lost interest around the second to last season and then saw that the show was ending and said things like "I should really catch up on that" and you never did. I'm sure there's a lot of you out there. So like me you're probably mildly happy to see Vik Sahay from the show joining the cast of the upcoming werewolf romp "Wer". Not happy about the movie or anything. Just happy to see the guy getting some work.
So Universal is going to remake "Van Helsing" with Tom Cruise? Because Hugh Jackman isn't.... well you know the rumors right? I mean about both of them. Not together or anything. Just in general. I mean all the Broadway crap. I don't know. You didn't hear it from me.
Making a sex tape with a 16 year old is awful. Making a sex tape with your biological son is also awful. Making a sex tape with your 16 year old biological son is something worse than awful but I can't think of any other words.
A 28 year old woman is under arrest after she cut off a man's genitals before stabbing him to death. Because stabbing someone to death isn't good enough. Ya got to cut some balls before ya stab!
Tomorrow is St Patrick's Day and while I'm not Irish I do love an excuse to get drunk. Really I don't need an excuse but it's always awesome to have one so you don't feel like an alcoholic. I also love any reason to get a Carvel cake. Especially a Cookie O' Puss. Again I don't really need an excuse to eat a entire ice cream cake by myself but it's nice to have one.
The smarty pants folks at Universal have decided to push up the release date for "Oblivion" to April 23rd 2013 from it's original release date of July 10th. The movie stars Tom Cruise as soldier who's court marshaled and shipped off to a deserted planet only to find he isn't alone. I think I'd move to another planet too if I was promised I'd be alone with Tom Cruise. Not for the reason you're thinking, sicko! It's so I can have sex with him.
The only thing worse than beating a dead horse is beating a dead vampire. I don't think that makes any sense. But my point here is that Alcon Entertainment has tapped Brian Dannelly to direct their new vampire comedy "Suckers". I'm not going to bother explaining the plot because you can probably guess it. but Dannelly has directed episodes of "Weeds", "The United States of Tara" and "Pushing Daisies" so it might not be too shabby. But I'm a glass half full kind of guy.
You tell me Danny Trejo, Anthony Michael Hall and Mickey Rourke are going to be in a movie and I listen my friends. The movie is called "Dead In Tombstone" and apparently Trejo comes back from the dead to bring the hammer down on his half brother after being double crossed in a mine robbery. This might be the most perfect movie ever made. Minus Mickey Rourke actually. That guy creeps the hell out of me.
People are going to throw a fit but honestly Lionsgate teaming up with WWE to remake "Leprechaun" might be amazing. There's no script, no cast, and no real other news but what the hell can go wrong. And while we're at it I think Jennifer Aniston is delightful. There, I said it.
I have no idea what the rules are when going into prison, thank god, but I'm pretty sure you don't have to smuggle lip balm inside by shoving it up your ass. Honestly this all sounds like someone was just looking to have a cavity search for fun and just shoved the first thing he found up there.
Let this be a lesson to your kids out there. If you lie about having cancer and raise money for your treatment the state of Virginia will come down on your hate. Like 100$ fine hard. So you know. Maybe consider not doing it.
To this day my best friend insists I had a crush on Ricky Schroeder when I was little. Apparently I would watch "Silver Spoons' and talk about how someday I want to live with Ricky and grow old together or something. I think it's bullcrap but that house on the show was pretty awesome so I've always kind of had my doubts.
Remember Haley Joel Osment? The little bugger who sees dead people and has a heart of gold? Well the all grown up rugrat is back in a new film titled "I'll Follow You Down" which tells the story of a son trying to uncover the mystery of where his scientist father disappeared to after a business trip. I assume Osment will still play a young boy because, much like Leonardo DiCaprio, no matter how old he gets he still looks 11. Ya just want to pinch his cheeks don't you?
Why the hell not, huh? Dreamworks has apparently hired Steven Knight to pen a script for their upcoming remake of the Alfred Hitchcock film "Rebecca". The original 1940 film tells the story of a bride who finds her and her new husband are being haunted by the ghost of his first wife. No word yet on is the remake will stay true to the original but if I was a betting man I'd say someone named Rebecca will be in the film.
If you're like any normal American then you're probably a giant fan of "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane". Look it up kids, that pizon was bigger than Jesus. Renny Harlin, the film's director, is off to Russia now for a new film that tell the tale of the real life mystery around 9 experienced hikers that were found dead in the mountains in 1959 and the not so real life crew that's exploring the mountains to uncover the secret of their deaths. The guy directed "Die Hard 2" also. Get excited.
It's a fact, Morgan Freeman is the greatest person who has ever lived. So Tom Cruise should be be skipping around in his tiny little size 6 shoes now that the great one has agreed to join the cast of "Oblivion", a new Sci-Fi flick that stars Tommy as a soldier banished to a far away deserted planet after his court-martial. No word on what role Freeman will be playing but I expect it'll be Jesus or whatever weird alien god they worship in the film.
Purple Squirrel Found in Pennsylvania. I'll see you all in hell.
Now let me make it clear, I like rhinoceros'. They're so freakin giant and cool they could kill any of us. But when a anti-poaching demonstration in South Africa goes wrong and they accidentally kill one, you've got to chuckle a little.
Few details have been released around the Ben Affleck fronted retelling of Stephen King's "The Stand" but today it looks like the project finally has a writer. "Blood Creek" writer David Kajganich has been tapped to take on the task of adapting King's book, which has already been made into a TV series so my guess is he'll just find that script and do the old "save as" in Microsoft word and call it a day. That's what I'd do anyway. Maybe take out any reference to Molly Ringwald.
If you've been sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for more details on the Tom Cruise alien battle flick "Oblivion" then today is your lucky day. It's been confirmed that both Andrea Riseborough and Olga Kurylenko have signed on to the cast, one playing his current girlfriend and the other playing the women he falls for. God I can't wait to find out which is which. I hope Olga wins his heart, only because her name is Olga though. You don't mess with an Olga.
I fancy myself a big Disneyworld fan and an uber Haunted Mansion buff so I'm as giddy as a little school girl at at some of the new collectibles Disney will be releasing this year at their parks. Namely a new kick ass Haunted Mansion time piece that's a bargain at any price and makes a great birthday gift for the special BGH news writer in your life. That's me, I'm that person, in case you were wondering.
Lastly it looks like Thomas Jane, Billy Bob Thornton and James Marsden have all been cast in a new flick titled "Red Machine". The movie focuses on two estranged brothers who try to patch up their relationship during a camping trip with their signification others. Unfortunately for them though they end up being stalked by a killer bear. So we've now got Billy Bob Thornton battling bears. Your move, Liam Neeson fighting wolves.
Here's a video of an 8 year old performing her first hardcore song. This is my dream for what my daughter will become and my wife's worst nightmare.
I didn't realize there were still door to door salesmen but apparently there are because here's a story about one in North Carolina who talked his way into a woman's home and refused to leave until she A. bought some magazines or B. had sex with him. It's a tough choice. Do they still makes Highlights magazine? If not then I'd go with A.
"You're Next" is a new "vacation gone bad because of a bunch of nut jobs" flick that's getting all kinds of giggles and gaggles from the peanut gallery. Yes I know that doesn't make any sense but I'm running out of creative ways to say a movie looks good. Check out the new poster for the flick which features a creepy mask all covered in blood. It'll really make your hog-swallow turn a randy flipgate on a dime.
Word around campus is Mr. Tom Cruise is in discussion to take the lead role in the upcoming flick "We Mortals Are". The movie is being described as "Source Code" but with aliens or as I'll call it a movie I fell asleep watching... with aliens. The film will be directed by Doug Liman and watched by no one.
Yes yes Lars Von Tier said some pretty stupid things but hot hog if his new end of the world flick "Melancholia" doesn't look good. I know I'm surprised by my chipper mood today too. And today we've got a new motion poster for the flick which comes out on 11-11-11. The movie stars Kirsten Dunst who won best actress at Cannes this past May for her role in the flick. Her snaggle tooth took home runner up.
In what might be the most shocking news of the last 15 minutes it looks like "Hostel III" will be heading direct to DVD this coming December. I know I had expected a big Hollywood premier event also. You can probably guess the plot of this one so I'll just tell you it takes place in Vegas. Feel free to do your own awful "Swingers" impressions now.
A South Carolina teacher is accused of punching one of her students in the face after the 13 year old boy tossed a pen in the trash can. Some people really hate it when you don't recycle. Of course I have no idea if you can recycle a pen. I'm not some damn hippie.
And speaking of school time fun. Here's a Florida man who's been arrested after he repeatedly made number 2 on the steps of a local school. Morning kids!
As expected Sunday night's "The Walking Dead" season finale went balls out with the rating, pulling about 8.1 million viewers between the 10 pm and 1 am showings. That's up 9% from last week's show and the series had the highest average for a cable show since 1993. That's a lot of math and to be honest the most amazing part is that I somewhat understand it.
It's no surprise that the producers of "American Psycho: The Musical" are promising tons of gore. Well maybe it's a little surprise since it's going to be on Broadway but that's nowhere near as surprising as the fact that Tom Cruise might be making a small cameo in the show. I know this isn't sarcasm but somehow I still feel like I'm being a wise ass here.
Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman, I've had dreams that start with those two names. Nightmares, I meant nightmares... I swear! Anyway there's a bunch of new interviews with the two up on the tubes with them talking about how exciting their new flick "Season of the Witch" is. Get hot and bothered!
Hammer's next film titled "The Resident" will apparently not be released in theaters but instead see a DVD/Blu-Ray release on March 29th, 2011. My guess for the change in plans is that putting both Hilary Swank and Jeffrey Dean Morgan on the screen together would cause theaters to burst into flames from all the heat. Now it'll just be your home.
Butcher vs. Boar 2010 took place recently at a shop in Germany when a wild hog ripped apart a butcher shop for close to an hour. Who won? Well one of the gladiators is now being sold as pork chops. You try to guess which one.
Douglas Allen Smith Jr. of Eugene Oregon has officially changed his name to Captain Awesome. That's really all I can say about that.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Stacking and Nesting Kitchen Goods
When space is at a premium in the kitchen, the ability to stack or nest items can really help. Here, we're taking a look at products large and small - from spices to furniture - that stack or nest when stored. Most of these are purely utilitarian in nature, but the last two are slightly more decorative (yet still functional) selections that we just couldn't resist:
• 1 This entire pantry is organized using Tupperware Modular Mates.
• 2 A staple: Nested Glass Mixing Bowl Set from Sur la Table
• 3 The Emeco Heritage Style Bar Stool brings classic design and small-space stackability to counter-height seating. Available from Paradigm Gallery.
• 4 This compact cookware set was made for camping by REI, but it just might work in a small indoor kitchen, too.
• 5 A stacking recycling bin set like this one at Tuwa keeps recyclables in order without taking up a bunch of space.
• 6 REKO glasses from IKEA are shaped for stacking and they're only $2 for a set of 6.
• 7 We've admired these stacking canisters before - love their rectilinear shapes and white ceramic finish. Available at Amazon.
• 8 These are always available at World Market and you can choose from a set of six mugs or espresso cups and saucers.
• 9 The material combination in the Stacking Storage Tower from Design Within Reach is beautiful. And, it's on sale right now.
• 10 By Joe Colombo in the 1970's, this set of crystal drinking glasses is like a blooming flower. The irregularly-shaped vessels are designed so that they can nest into one another, albeit in an unexpected fashion. Available from Moss.

#2, nesting bowls from Williams-Sonoma? I use these every day in my kitchen; sometimes I use all 10 at a time. Seriously.
I love the world market stacking cups. I've got the Jumbo ones in yellow and I LOVE THEM (as well as anyone else who comes in the house). They are great as bowls, or extra large cups of tea or hot cocoa ^_^
talk about multifunctional
I also have the world market stacking cups in white and I use them as bowls for cereal and soup. They're perfect!
I've been working on a system of containers that would replace ordinary food storage containers with a uniquely designed system of containers and racks, and I thought it would make sense to share it here. It's called "Stackerware" still in Development (Oct 2012) but I hope to make it available to the public soon. Check it out and let me know what you think?

Go behind-the-scenes with "Unlocking Sherlock"
Go behind-the-scenes with "Unlocking Sherlock"
Sherlock fans rejoice! The third season of the hit sleuth show is almost here! And because we know it's horrible to have to wait until January 19th, CET and ThinkTV16 will be airing a new show that goes behind-the-scenes of Sherlock – Unlocking Sherlock.
Unlocking Sherlock takes viewers on a personal voyage through the versions of Holmes that have served as inspirations for the new series – the original stories, their factual origins, hundreds of film adaptations – to arrive at their thoroughly modern Sherlock. Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss explain the challenges they encountered adapting the original adventures of the iconic super-sleuth. The special goes behind the scenes on the set of the hit television series, and includes interviews with actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman and Lara Pulver, who talk about the reinvention of their fictional characters.
Additionally, Moffat and Gatiss describe the evolution of Dr. Watson, Inspector Lestrade, Mycroft, Jim Moriarty and Irene Adler, as well as Holmes, from Conan Doyle's original characterizations, through numerous cinematic and televised versions to the contemporary Sherlock.
This new program will be broadcast at 10pm after Downton Abbey on Sunday, Jan. 12, on CET and ThinkTV16.

Animal Studies
Rodents (mice and rats) are commonly used in studies of environmental causes of cancer. They have a relatively short lifespan (2 to 3 years), and their bodies' responses to known cancer causing chemicals are similar to a human response. Dietary studies in rodents are more difficult, however, due to differences in the digestive systems of rodents and humans.
In animal studies, the chemical exposures are usually at much higher levels than would be seen with human exposure. If an extremely high level of exposure does not lead to cancer, researchers reason that the chemical most likely does not cause cancer at lower levels either.

As the country's tryptophan high wears off, the sobering debate over the fiscal cliff begins. From the Associated Press:
White House economists warned Monday that the uncertainty of a potential hike in taxes next year for middle class taxpayers under the looming fiscal cliff could hurt consumer confidence during the crucial holiday shopping season.
In a new report that coincides with Congress' return after the Thanksgiving holiday, the White House says that if lawmakers don't halt the automatic increase in taxes for households earning less than $250,000, consumers might even curtail their shopping during the current holiday season.
"As we approach the holiday season, which accounts for close to one-fifth of industry sales, retailers can't afford the threat of tax increases on middle-class families," the report says.
The study by President Barack Obama's National Economic Council and his Council of Economic Advisers also says a sudden increase in taxes for middle-income taxpayers would reduce consumer spending in 2013 by nearly $200 billion, significantly slowing the economic recovery.
Click here to read the report.
On separate Sunday TV talk shows, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and U.S. Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) sided with U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss when it came to Grover Norquist and his anti-tax pledge. From the Boston Globe:
''I agree with Grover, we shouldn't raise rates, but I think Grover is wrong when it comes to we can't cap deductions and buy down debt,'' Graham said on ABC's ''This Week.''
"I will violate the pledge, long story short, for the good of the country, only if Democrats will do entitlement reform,'' Graham said. But he made clear that he remained opposed to raising tax rates on the wealthiest Americans, something President Obama and congressional Democrats favor….
King, who has also signed the pledge, said he agreed that changing times and a different economic climate justify a new approach. The New York representative said that while he opposes tax increases, he does not advocate taking ''ironclad positions'' during the negotiations between Democrats and Republicans on the nation's fiscal issues. ''A pledge you signed 20 years ago, 18 years ago, is for that Congress,'' King said on NBC's ''Meet the Press.''
Vocabulary is one measure of how far the debate over federal spending and taxation has progressed. The need to increase federal revenue is now an accepted fact, according to U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall, R-Lawrenceville. Via the Gwinnett Post:
"The president has done a great job of convincing America that this 'fiscal cliff' is a debate about increasing tax revenue. It's not — everyone agrees that revenue has to go up. The president has taxpayers that he wants to punish and others that he wants to reward, and that's bad tax policy," Woodall said. "While that may be good politics, it is bad policy and Congress will absolutely fight him on it. But when it comes to the need to raise federal revenue from its anemic levels of this recession, we all — Democrats and Republicans — recognize that we need to."
Walter Jones of Morris News Service takes a look at the revolution quietly endorsed by the state utility commission last week:
What happened is the Georgia Public Service Commission voted 3-2 to endorse efforts by a start-up company to overturn a law, the Territorial Act, that has divided the state for four decades into geographic monopolies for 94 utilities run by cities, rural cooperatives and the giant Georgia Power Co.
The upstart, Georgia Solar Utilities Inc., seeks its own monopoly as a generator of solar power with permission to sell to retail customers. Since it can't produce electricity when the sun isn't shining, it would always be dependent on other utilities for supplemental power as well as for transmission, billing and customer support.
The commission vote doesn't guarantee General Assembly agreement, but it does provide a push.
In the Washington Post, Doug Blackmon writes of the Republican party's crumbling Southern Strategy:
Obama won Virginia and Florida and narrowly missed victory in North Carolina. But he also polled as well in Georgia as any Democrat since Jimmy Carter, grabbed 44 percent of the vote in deep-red South Carolina and just under that in Mississippi — despite doing no substantive campaigning in any of those states.
…In the region's center, clustered along the Mississippi River — where Bill Clinton polled most strongly — the GOP remains largely unchallenged and the voting divide between blacks and whites is deepening. Nearly nine of 10 of white voters in Mississippi, for instance, went for Republican nominee Mitt Romney this year, according to exit polls. About 96 percent of black voters in the state supported Obama.
The pattern is markedly different in the five states that hug the Atlantic coast from Virginia to Florida, which together hold 82 of the South's 160 electoral votes. A combination of a growing black population, urban expansion, oceanfront development and in-migration from other regions has opened up increasing opportunities for Democrats in those states.
"Georgia is an achievable target for Democrats in 2016," said Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, a frequent Obama surrogate during the campaign. "What you're going to see is the Democratic Party making a drive through the geography from Virginia to Florida."

The last election was pitted two views of the world against each other, continue the path of tax giveaways to those who can afford to buy congressmen, or tax the wealthy at levels which do not even approach traditional levels. The later view one despite major unemployment. Sen. Graham is proceeding in exactly the same way that Confederate traitors did before the Civil War. He has launched a two prong attack against the administration. On the tax front backing the extension of tax same tax giveaways to the rich that gave us all of out National Debt, on foreign policy using trying to hold the Secretary of State position hostage to the racism and sexism of his party. It is time to invoke the nuclear option, eject Graham, McCain and McConnell and terminate thier pay and pensions.

So loading up shopping carts with less foreign products is bad? Why is the "test" of our economies health based on the willingness of someone to buy a TV made in another country?

"I will violate the pledge, long story short, for the good of the country, only if Democrats will do entitlement reform,'' Graham said."
Yeah? Well, good luck with that! I don't see Barack and the boys slowing their spending for anything, and most especially will they not cut spending on their voters!
Woodall has a very firm grasp on this situation.
""Georgia is an achievable target for Democrats in 2016," said Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed."
Was this just a dream you had, or are you smoking that stuff again?
November 26th, 2012

The only (AND I MEAN ONLY) reason Republicans want entitlement reform is because they want to widen the gap between rich and poor! They could care less about whether the debt is paid down or not! In fact, they could care less about America. If we fail, they simply join their rich friends in the Cayman Islands!

The Congress and the President created the fiscal cliff compromise legislation, and they can repeal it tomorrow if they want to.
The so-called fiscal cliff is a manufactured crisis to try to put things in a fake crisis mode so they can pull the wool of the eyes of all Americans.
We need to slow down this process and we can. By the way, the CLIFF has zero to do with this Christmas. Nothing whatsoever to do with how much people will spend in the stores. The people who have the money will spend big, others will spend less, but they will still have their Christmas.
Wake up Americans and stop letting the political class and the media that feeds off of it pull your leg and jerk your chain. Let's repeal this sword of Damocles and then take time to fashion a rational budget.
November 26th, 2012
9:52 am
Repeal the fiscal cliff compromise legislation, and then raise the debt ceiling (last we used to do autmotically) and the current manufactured, fake "crisis" goes away.
Then we can sit down and have a rational discussion about the budget.
Please Americans, wake up and see that you are being manipulated and governed by one fake crisis after another.
Oh, and Jim, we will have a Christmas. So no, I'm not buying that threat either. Next thing will hear is the the cliff will cause our toilets to stop working. Silliness.
November 26th, 2012
9:55 am
Same old crap. Spend more and raise taxes to off set the spending. Why don't they try real reaL hard to balance the budget like every household in this country does every single week/month of every single year.

You'll find that the re-election of Obama and the impending massive tax program called obamacare, will be the Grinch that stole Christmas and New Years and the next four years.

So the potential tax hike could hurt consumer confidence?
What about the 0bamacare tax hike (that will happen regardless of anything else that happens) and what that will do to consumer confidence? Here's a hint: take away a minimum of $2000 from the pockets of all consumers (who earn their own money) when consumer spending constitutes 2/3 of the economy. You do the math.
(This doesn't even touch government spending/debt and the interest that keeps piling up as a result, or the massive student loan problem, or the fact that most people are still upside down in their mortgages, or trade deficits, or lack of a manufacturing base, or record numbers of welfare recipients, or the immigration problem, or…)

This debate is certainly manufactured by politicians and used to confuse the public. First, the economy is weak and is being propped up by federal deficit spending. Ben Bernanke is also propping up the weak economy with massive money printing. Bernanke created the term fiscal cliff to exaggerate the impact on the economy of very minor efforts to reduce the deficit spending that is propping up the economy. The politicians are using the fear of the fiscal cliff to go back on their promises to cut spending and raise taxes. When the deal is cut, we will again be reading articles about how huge the deficits are and how little Congress and the president have done to reduce the deficit. The economy will still be limping along with no reason to believe it will be better in the future. Bernanke will also continue printing money to pay for the deficit with a weakened dollar. The only dim light is that other world economies are also weak so we are all going down together with no other country gaining an advantage
November 26th, 2012
10:36 am
Bring on the cliff. What Obama is saying, "give me what I demand or I will let the economy crash." The economy is going to crash anyway. Democrats are not going to sut spending and this nation can no longer afford the taxpayer handouts that democrats give so freely to their base.
We are seeing Obamanomics, meaning failure and that is what America voted for. America has decided they would rather have a welfare check than a paycheck. Keep demanding what other work for and see what happens when the taxpayers refuse to support parasites.

Let the 'cliff' come and go.
Then let the next Congress settle on reasonable middle class tax cuts and funding reasonable and necessary military expenditures.
Otherwise, we will still pretend that we can run this country on taxing those least able to pay (and with the least to lose in the event of an outright revolt) and spending on the pretense that we have to settle every disagreement (even family feuds) with massive military force.

Good morning America, I am writing to apoligize for my sociopath corporate fascist tendencies that have nearly destroyed America over the last 2 decades, as well as the pledge I was able to foist upon the Republican leaders… They are so weak! At any rate, I have come to my senses, and now believe America must: 1) Reinstate the income and corporate tax rates of 1970. 2) Reinstate Glass Steagal before Wall St completely destroys this great country. 3) Repeal Citizen's United…. I can't believe the fools called the U.S. Supreme Court passed this in the first place… A corporation is a person, LMAOROF!!!!!!
You know, if America's people are willing to fight and die for this great country, then perhaps corporate America should be held to the same ethical, moral, and financial standards to match the committment the majority of Americans gladly bear…. Perhaps a constitutional ammendment limiting corporate executive wages to no more than 25% more than the average employee, since the foundation of profit generated comes from the American worker at the ground level….
And finally…. I am so sorry for revealing the Republican leader's as the mindless sociopath corporate profiteer's they truly have become.
November 26th, 2012

Limiting wages. Get a life, Grover.
November 26th, 2012

Roberto…. Clearly you are unable to comprehend a very simple fact: The American people are the "foundation" of America. Weaken the foundation, as it has been since the 70's, destroy the country. IF the corporation refuses to protect the American people, the government must step in and protect the people from this domestic corporate threat.
Regarding corporate executive wages. Wages that merely 4 decades ago averaged 20-30 times the average worker. And in that very short duration of time has ballooned to 250 – 350 times the average worker. Combined with Wall St deregulation, it really is no wonder why America's economy suffers so much….. And remember. The American soldier is willing to die for this country, and leaves no man behind. A criteria that is an honorable business model, refused by dishonorable corporate fascists who choose to extract Amereca's wealth and hiding profits offshore.
This American "foundation/people" must be protected at all cost, from threats foreign and domestic.

Democrat James Carville Says 80% of Democrats Are Politically Clueless
"Ideologies aren't all that important. What's important is psychology.
The Democratic constituency is just like a herd of cows. All you have to do is lay out enough silage and they come running. That's why I became an operative working with Democrats. With Democrats all you have to do is make a lot of noise, lay out the hay, and be ready to use the ole cattle prod in case a few want to bolt the herd.
Eighty percent of the people who call themselves Democrats don't have a clue as to political reality.
What amazes me is that you could take a group of people who are hard workers and convince them that they should support social programs that were the exact opposite of their own personal convictions. Put a little fear here and there and you can get people to vote any way you want.
The voter is basically dumb and lazy. The reason I became a Democratic operative instead of a Republican was because there were more Democrats that didn't have a clue than there were Republicans.
Truth is relative. Truth is what you can make the voter believe is the truth. If you're smart enough, truth is what you make the voter think it is. That's why I'm a Democrat. I can make the Democratic voters think whatever I want them to."

I was surprised by Obama's strength in Deep South, especially considering almost zero campaign resources expended here. This is clear trend which will only be heightened by (1) continuing Hispanic population growth, and, (2) and death of old white men. It might happen as early as 2016 with right Presidential candidates (appealing one for Dems and TeaParty retard for GOP); maybe a little later if GOP wises up. It will take longer for control of state offices but that will eventually come, too. The Dems just need to see handwriting, too, and modify their appeal to reach emerging groups beside their Black and White Liberal core.

And now the republicans (or at least the conserrrrrrrvatives who control everything republican) have apparently decided the 'hispanic vote' is more human oriented and therefore not amicable to republican mind control. So, since Hispanic Voters have the good sense to appreciate a reasonable 'safety net' and appropriate worker protections, the republicans have decided they don't even want the votes!

More proof? "The assignment is a sharp change in role for Geithner, 51, who, during President Obama's first term, has largely focused on the country's financial crisis, banking policy and the European debt crisis, according to The Wall Street Journal."

Christmas. Nothing but political rhetoric and scare tactics. Go to WalMart and see how much the working & entitlement classes, the lower middle class and the middle middle class are stuffing into their buggies.
Norquist. While I agree that taxes should not be raised, it's about time some of our members of Congress grew a backbone or replaced their yellow stripe and told Mr. Norquist where to get off. The proposed tax increase on those making more than $250,000 is not going to hurt them or make them less ambitious. However, a corresponding decrease in entitlement benefits would hurt the poor. Perhaps there is a compromise somewhere that does not require the demonization of either the very rich or the very poor.
Democratic Demographics. It's coming, but 2016 is not the year. 2020 is the year we Republicans will again become a minority party if we continue to find ourselves on the wrong side of social issues. Ask any female Republican in Buckhead and, if they give you an honest answer, they will tell you they were very uncomfortable with the Party's position on women's rights.

Just like you were right in 2010 saying the Dems would retain control of the HOR's and Barnes would win Georgia? HAHAHAHAHAHA

Blackmon: "But he also polled as well in Georgia as any Democrat since Jimmy Carter…"
This is incorrect; Clinton won Georgia in 1992.

2010 was two years ago and I believe many of the American People have decided what a terrible idea it is to give any more power to conserrrrrrrrvatives (whatever they really are).
Let's repeat your sage-like predictions for this year's elections.

If that was a true statement then why did the voters of every Congressional district in Ohio and Virginia send all those Republicans back to Congress while at the same time putting Obama back in the WH?

td @ 1:21 pm—now, you are not surprised? I seem to recall you posted on more than 1 occasion that Obama would get no more than 42% of the vote in Georgia and I agreed at the time. At least I admit being surprised it ended up being 45%. If your other predictions are as accurate I would say my analysis is correct and the GOP is headed for a bigger surprise.
