It appears that when Bruce Willis' John McClane conveniently finds himself in the wrong place and wrong time once again, the film will be titled A Good Day To Die Hard.
Indeed, the fifth Die Hard movie has not only selected its title, it is also confirmed for release on February 14, 2013. (Since Bruce Willis blowing s**t up is the perfect romantic outing for the Hershey and Hallmark-concocted holiday tentpole.)
How will the film fare among the slew of romcoms on the most commercially-amorous of release dates?
Traditionally, the Die Hard films have all seen Summer releases among the other big-budget action features. This latest film certainly will not be breaking the mold of pure, unadulterated action. So, the Valentine's release date may be an experiment to see how the strength of one of the most established action franchises in the world can serve as a counter to romantic fare, and in the first quarter in general.
With director, John Moore appointed to the director's chair last month, it appears the film is on track. This time, John McClane will (for some reason) finds himself in Russia, pitted against local authorities in an ordeal that will supposedly team him up with his own son.
While some may gripe that the franchise has long overstayed its welcome, the fact remains that it has never failed to perform at the box office, with each sequel always out-grossing its predecessor. So, if the field of movies remains weak at that time, then it could lead to a huge take for this fifth film.
February 2013 is actually quite a while away, but how are you feeling about going back to Die Hard?

Trulls family plot, located 1 kilometer west of Trulls road in Courtice. What I;ve been able to learn is the Trulls were one of the first settlers to the Courtice area. The Bowman name noticed on several stones are members of the family responsible for the town 10 kilometers to the east, Bowmanville. The plot is off by it itself and it almost appears as if no one tends to it much anymore. Strange the local historical society haven't given the cemetary the care it deserves.

NORTH BALTIMORE, Ohio - A Canadian truck driver was fatally injured in a weekend wreck when two commercial vehicles collided on I-75 in Wood County, just north of the Hancock County line, authorities said.
Daryl M. Herridge of Keswick, Ont., died at Wood County Hospital, where he was taken after the accident at 8:12 p.m. Sunday.
Troopers with the Walbridge post of the Ohio Highway Patrol said Mr. Herridge was driving south when he drifted into the grass median, then into oncoming traffic, striking a northbound box truck driven by Harrison E. Good, 43, of Rochester, Ind.
Mr. Herridge's vehicle continued off the highway, struck a guardrail, and went into a ditch.
Mr. Good received minor injuries and was treated at Wood County Hospital.
Troopers said the Wood County coroner was investigating whether a possible medical condition may have contributed to the crash.

Happen to come across this interesting specimen. Would any one have any information about it? Supposedly, the gold accents are 24k. Any info or price appraisal would be appreciated.

Looks like someone dressed up an old WW2 GI 1911A1. Value for polished up and over-the-top reblues like that seem to be in the $500-$600 range.

Most gold plating is 24K. It doesn't increase the value of the gun.

FWIW, 24kt Gold (including plating) is soft, and wears easily - as looks to be noticable on the RH sides of both the trigger and the mag release.

In bone stock GI trim, it would be worth more today. $600 tops.
All else being equal (and it almost never is) bigger bullets tend to work better. |

Somebody did a nice job on the polishing, it looks nice and flat. Considering the Remington Rand's are fairly valuable in stock shape the dressing up is taking a pretty hard hit on the price, like maybe cutting 2/3rds off. If it were mine I'd undo the gold and have it blued. The polishing and bluing is nice enough it might have more appeal like that.
That gold makes a lot of guys cringe, I'd like it all blued.

There was a shop in my home town that specialized in that sort of work.
They were very good at it, they could even mask off areas to get gold and blue on the same part. A revolver with the small parts and cylinder flutes gold and the balance shiny, shiny blue was kind of their specialty. But that was years ago and now we know that what was cheap surplus then is really a Significant Historical Artifact and Valuable Collector's Item. |

Metro jails begin fight against gangs
6/13/2014, 5:39 p.m.
DeKalb and three other metro counties have joined forces to crack down on a growing threat of gang-related crime in their jails.
At a June 5 news conference, DeKalb Sheriff Jeff Mann and police and sheriffs from Fulton, Gwinnett and Clayton counties announced a coordinated series of jail inmate shakedowns and intensive intelligence to root out gang plots and other illegal activity behind bars that threaten the safety of jail employees and lead to violent crimes in the community.
"Gang activity on the streets of our community in DeKalb County and across the metro area is at an all-time high and it's increasing," Mann said.
The first shakedowns at the DeKalb lockup took place without incident while the news conference was in progress.
Mann said that officers went throughout the jail attempting to identify potential gang members who are housed in the DeKalb Jail and to locate any contraband in the facility.
Frank Woods, a Gwinnett sheriff's captain, said intelligence is revealing that gang members are becoming more savvy.
"Frequently gangs use the jails to grow their numbers," Woods said. "They get younger members and they get them into the gang activity."
Woods said the names of some gangs come up frequently in jail incidents.
"The Bloods gang is a large issue in the metro area, the Gangster Disciples is a large problem. In DeKalb and other counties, you've got Sex Money Murder," he said. "And you have the Aryan Brotherhood, which can be very large in state prison systems as well."
Woods said police also have noticed gangs working with each other to make money. He said they view law enforcement and people in the community as the enemy.
After investigators identify gangs in the jail system, Mann said they will share information among local jails and with state prisons to cut gang activity. He said teams have been assigned to monitor communications between inmates and the outside world more closely.

PSC Approves Ameren Missouri Application
The Missouri Public Service Commission has approved an application filed by Union Electric Company d/b/a Ameren Missouri which sought Commission authority to sell coal, and lease a small portion of its property at its Labadie Energy Center. Ameren Missouri's application stated this is part of a program to utilize refined coal in order to lower costs and reduce emissions.
According to the application, Ameren Missouri proposes to sell some coal from the coal pile at its Labadie Energy Center to Larkwood Energy, LLC (Larkwood). Larkwood, according to the application, will refine the coal using a process designed to reduce emissions from the coal, and then resell the coal back to Ameren Missouri at the same price for use at the plant. In addition, Ameren Missouri sought authority to lease a small portion of its plant site to Larkwood so that Larkwood can place coal refinement facilities on the site during the term of the transaction.
Ameren Missouri provides electric service to approximately 1.2 million electric customers in Missouri.

- - The Untouched Yearling - Suggestions and advice would be appreciated!
The Untouched Yearling - Suggestions and advice would be appreciated! I was given a colt about two in a half months ago by my barn owner. She had saved two trailer loads of wild horses from a SPCA case here in Fresno and he was apart of them. Well he supposably was "people friendly" at one point according to the female they got him from. That definately is not the case today.. You may have seen him in my old post when I first got him, I still have not named him either! (I'm horrible, I know) Well he is not fond of human touch. He gets that crazy look in his little face when a person walks towards him. I have been working with him since I was given him and I believe he's progressed a bit but not really that much. He used to run away as soon as someone came into the pen, or came within a certain radius of him and strike at you if you tried touching him. However he never pins his ears so I know its strictly out of fear. Fast forward to today, I can enter the pen and he doesn't run for his life. He sometimes backs away but that's still better than taking off. When I put out my hand he will come to me and sniff it, however I still can't touch him. I am sometimes able to barely graze my fingertips on his whiskers/muzzle after doing the approach/retreat method with him. He fusterates the living poo out of me because he will let me stand like a foot away from him as he basically dozes off, but the minute my hand gets within an inch from him he will move. To answer a few statements I'm prepared to hear a lot of, YES I do have a trainer if I need one and they provide lots of tips and advice as I am doing this on my own. I would just like to hear you guys advice as far as what I should try next? Sorry if none of this makes sense, i m typing out all my thoughts as they come. Lol Posted via Mobile Device |
Yep, I just read it and it sounds like I'm 7 years old. Lol I'm sorry everyone.. Posted via Mobile Device |
Here's just about to the only thing you can do: Quality Time. Go into a small confined area with the horse. Preferably a stall with no distractions. Bring yourself a book. Park yourself next to his food and spend the day. He may at first flip a gaskit. But soon he'll find the courage to venture over to you. Don't just jump out and try to pet him right off, let him pet you. At our rescue we have a few little wild ponies here. One of them a young girl (13) has got following her around like a puppy dog by now xD That pony will do anything for her. This was a 14 year old wild pony, never touched. Just by spending quality time. She later ventured into Clicker Training, but you can use anything. I suggest looking into Pat Parrelli's seven games (while I'm not his biggest fan, those games are fantastic bits of groundwork, valuable for any horse to know). But all this can only come once you can touch him. So quality time is all you've got until he's comfortable around you. Devote a few good days with him. |
Thank you for the suggestion I appreciate it! (: Since the day I got him I have been going out every other day for 2.5 months and have been working with him and his trust issues. I'm the only person he let's get super close to him now. I can stand super close to him (withing a hands distance between us) and he will have his head lowered, eyes half closed and he looks like he's falling asleep. But as soon as I put my hand either near his face or his shoulder, he lifts his head super high and gets that scared look in his face. I'm not trying to rush him, but he does need his feet done and to be wormed as well as gelded so I need him halterbroke! I guess my question is more-so how do I get him to let me touch him without just roping him in and letting him flip out cause that's out of the question. Lol Posted via Mobile Device |
I like to get a halter and drag rope on the horse. And start doing ground work. Join up, all kinds of stuff for respect, and also get the horse leading and more control of its body before you go touching it. A friend of mine uses join up a lot. Horse faces him and eventually he gets if to come to him, and tries to touch the nose or neck of the horse, horse moves away, it gets sent away. Worked on a mustang I had. The horse ended up being super easy to catch cause of you entered his pen, he would 'join up' automatically lol. Everyone does it different. I have patients but not the kind to sweet talk them into letting me touch them. First thing, they get a halter |
i can not even get a halter on him.. Posted via Mobile Device |
Janna i would do the same thing with an adult, but it sounds to me like this is a colt - i would never round pen a horse under 2 1/2 myself, but some will do it a little younger. I also don't like roundpenning a brand new wild horse- they are already terrified, let them learn we aren't going to eat them first. Miskriss it sounds to me like his area is too big for what you currently need. He needs to be somewhere small and distraction free. Sit with him and let him come to you, don't immediately reach up to him the moment he comes over. This is pressure to him and he's going to move away from it, this would tell him not to come over to you because each time yougo to touch him. Let him get completely comfortable in your prescense, let him brush up against you as he walks by, don't just reach out and touch him. At the point you're at i'd be considering adding some more motivational positive reinforcement. Is he in with other horses or are there some within reach when you're there? If they are this will slow the process. Horses a herd animals but they will look to herd with horses before humans. At this point you want you to be his only option in herd members. This will make you more valuable to him. With our wild ponies their first touch we would just rest our hand on their whither and stay with them in their stall- they will back up, move forward and sideways, just keep things quiet and calm but keep with them. Once they stop moving take your hand off. Repeat this for only short 5 minute sessions at a time so as not to work them up. You can use a crop or fake hand or something if you need greater distance between you and the colt. But i really think close 1on1 contact and lots of time is your best ally. The method i just mentioned is what we used to do, ut always worked but it was slow. A new way we've been doing it lately, that the little girl used with the pony i mentioned earlier was with positive reinforcement. Start with the food next to you, let him work up the courage to come over and get it in his own time. Once he no longer hesitates about eating beside you (with you not touching him) you can move on. Stand with his empty bowl beside you. When he comes close click (i use a smooch noise) and put a little food in the bowl. Do this until he is readily comjng over to you anywhere in the paddock. If you can safely hand feed him this is better so he isn't following the bowl. Work on this until he is comprehending to follow you and that your click noise=food. Once he's readily following you now just reach out your hand, closed fist, slowly, give him time to try, if he gets close at first with just a whisker touch, click+treat. Gradually build up to be able to touch his muzzle and face and all over eventually. This is how the 13 year old girl can now lean over and give her pony a big barrel hug and the pony following her all around. They're working on unmounted agility now because the pony is too small to ride. She also used this to get her used to the farrier. If at any point he makes a turn around and actually becomes pushy for food, invading your space or rudely nudging you or pawing then you ought to nip that in the bud. This is where we start most not-wild horses. I stand in front of the pushy/invasive horse with the food giving a short growl or whack if they get too pushy (judging by your colt i don't think you'll need this) once thy turn their head away for any reason i click+treat. This teaches them the only way to get food is to stand patiently facing away. But right now you want him near you and you can build that up before asserting respectfullness. You can also help prevent pushiness by always feeding behind their chin so they have to back up a bit to get it. Good luck keep us posted! Posted via Mobile Device |
932 Attachment(s) The first thing i would do is get a bunch of people and quickly use all the help you can to get a halter and drag line on him. He may be pissed and traumatized for a few hours but back off and leave him be. Then id make sure to touch him. He could dance around all day but at least id have a way to control his movements by having that halter on him. Ive dealt with quite a few untouched weanlings and yearlings and the faster i get a halter on them, the better. Posted via Mobile Device |
I gentled a yearling mustang. He had a halter put on him while he was in a squeeze chute, and after he felt comfortable to come near enough for me to clip a lead on him while he ate, he sported a drag rope. He learned how to lead before he learned how to let me touch him. Have you ever built something up in your head to where it seemed way more terrible and horrible than it actually turned out to be? I'm pretty sure horses do that to some extent. They don't know it won't hurt when you touch them... but occasionally you have to push past their comfort zone until they find that out, rather than waiting the whole time until they finally decide they'll allow it. The trainer that helped me with my mustang reached a point where she just shortened him up on the lead, let him back himself up against the fence, and gave him a rub on the forehead. After that day it sort of clicked for him and it got easier and easier to touch him. I'd say within a week or two of that event he started letting me groom him (which he quickly found out actually feels really good; now he'll happily stand loose while I groom him). Of course, be careful. Don't put yourself in a position where the horse might knock you down trying to bolt away, kick, or strike. There is a delicate balance between pushing the envelope a bit and overwhelming them. |
Even if you know nothing about horse training you can still succeed at this purely through patience. It may take awhile to completely gain a horse's confidence going about it this way, but the advantage is that once you do gain it it'll be there for real. He'll never have been forced into accepting you and that's a good thing if your plans include riding him someday. What you've accomplished with him actually sounds appropriate for the time spent. To go from striking to allowing a person in close to his space is very good progress! Don't be deterred, thinking that you have to get it done now. These guys who can start a colt in a day, they can do that because they've done it thousands of times. These mustangs are a challenge even to experienced horsemen. Everything about a normal horse is only more so in them. Though if it's getting to the point where he needs to get halter-broke to get his feet done and it's getting ridiculous, Clovis isn't TOO far from me. :mrgreen: |

I work at a Vitamin Shoppe. These things are very popular. I see people buy Nitrix and NoX2 all the time. Expensive as all hell too. Everyone says they read ads in bodybuilding magazines (go figure) and these are supposed to be awesome. Even the buck seventy employees buy them. IMO they seem like expensive garbage. Why waste money on supps like these? I'll stick to 10LB bags of protein and transdermals made by BDC.
hey all,
i know this thread is a bit old but it's all i found on a search of "nitrix"
i actually did some research on tribulus & libido enhancement (not bodybuilding purposes) and found this.
i've heard & read more good than bad things so i decided to try it anyway & ordererd some nitrix & musclejack from bb.com
if you're interested i'll let you know my results in a month or so. i should be getting it any day now.
as a side note i've been using a trib product by Red Bull and getting pretty good results in the libido dept.
i actually feel a bit harder to..................everywhere !!
i've tried tribulus supps before and been very disappointed considering how expensive they are.

We can't keep it on the shelf at the store I work at. People say they are getting pretty good pumps on it but I haven't tried it yet, so I can't really give you a first hand account of it.

I think if one is going to take an NO product, I would go with Blackstarlabs Mega Potency Nitric Tabs. But it is by far the cheapest, 100 Tabs for $29, and it includes a buffering agent for maximum absorbtion. Im going to try NP2 since it was free for two weeks, take two weeks off, and try BSL's for two weeks to compare.
Initially I thought the NO2 was b.s.. I talked to a few people that tried it. It was too expensive and didn't work all that well. When I started working for the store I noticed that the vitrix wouldn't stay on the self very long. The people who are buying it say they are getting some pretty decent pumps while taking it. Usually if something sells like that it probably works. The same thing is happening with the Methyl-1 test. You can probably find it for about 40.00. It might end up being a creatine alternative. I will probably give it a try soon.
finished the bottle of Nitrix with no noticable results.
i'm on my 2nd day of Musclejack and urine has turned a deep yellow color. don't know what ingredient in it would make that happen!!
trained legs & got a great pump this morning. bit early to give it a thumbs up though.

i personally like to take it but on the other hand i dont care about how much it cost - 01-18-2006, 09:20 PM
I think it's garbage.
Here is one opinion:
Consumer Alert: The NO2/Arginine Scam
by David Barr
Arginine blood flow stimulators ("nitric-oxide" or "NO2" supplements) have been shown to increase vasodilation, but only in unfed people receiving enormous doses through an IV.
Oral arginine supplementation doesn't affect blood flow.
A dose as low as 10 grams has been associated with gastric upset when consumed orally. This dose has no significant effect on glycogen storage, even if it didn't cause diarrhea.
Time release arginine is supposed to lead to a "perpetual pump" effect. New studies have shown this not to be the case.
NO2 was shown to have no effect compared to a placebo on body composition or muscle strength.
It's not possible for us to consume high enough levels of arginine to effectively increase nitric oxide levels.
Copycat NO2 products are no better than the original supplement. In fact, those that contain glycocyamine should be avoided because of potential health concerns.
If you think these products work for you, then you'd better look into the placebo effect.
Arginine might temporarily elevate growth hormone levels, but only if you're able to take unrealistic doses. There's little evidence to support that this short term increase in GH would do anything for your physique anyway.
In one study, arginine aspartate was shown to increase prolactin by an average of 75%. Prolactin is associated with decreased Testosterone levels.
Five grams of arginine consumed during resistance exercise was shown to decrease normal exercise-induced GH output.
The positive benefits of oral arginine supplementation can only be achieved through doses higher than the human body can handle. And most (but not all) of this effect is mediated by insulin. So if you want to have blood flow increases equivalent to a huge IV arginine infusion, just manipulate insulin through other means

Yeah and Biotest told us that MethoxyFlavone was going to rip anybody up at doses of 200mgs!!! Please, i have used No2 and pissed my my $65 down the drain, but got free samples of the PumpTech, and smashed weights, and when it was broke as hell I used Larginine at 8 grams a day 4 pre 4 post and had amazing pumps. Not to mention the Pumps i get from Noxplode, and you mean to tell me the hundreds of customers who I have sold Noxplode have a plecebo effect, who repeatedly buy from me at Vitamin World are mistaken. I def believe some things don't work for some people, but Tnation is bashing Cissus, when the damn FDA and the pharma companies were making a stink and how good it works, plus anecdotal evidence on this board shows how it works. Anyway this thread is old as ****, but to see another tnation quote bashing I get a lil heated, considering Biotest used to be hardcore...

To be honest, I don't know what you are talking about when referring to Cissus, pharma companies, biotest disputes etc., maybe because I'm in Australia so I haven't a clue about what sounds like a political ****fight.
Irregardless, with all due respect to you there IS some evidence against arginine products. Your commentary proffers no evidence other than anecdotes to the contrary. - 01-20-2006, 10:52 AM
Thas cool, as I have heard some people say i did not work, but when I was referring to you, I was meaning in reference to the Biotest article. And yes Cissus was caught in the political ****fit if you will, In the States because of its effectiveness, one our own board sponsers has had their shipments held of cissus, as well as been bashed by Tnation, for its supposed non results. Its cool though I am and still pissed at Biotest(Tnation i mean), who used to be a hardcore, accepting community, who is now as reputable as Legal Gear, and Bodybuilding.com. (they still do have a kick ass archive, Ill give them that.)
This is random, but first sleep after taking Nitrix, my friend witnessed me trying to pee in the trashcan and then I changed I guess (dont remember sleep walking) and went back to bed, Should I prob not take it?
I've heard views from each side of the fence. I've heard that Nitrix really does what it claims and that it's an amazing product, but I've also heard that it's overhyped and complete garbage.
I'd probably at least give it a shot. What worsk for you and I, may not work for everybody else. - 12-08-2007, 06:15 PM
How long does it ussually take too see effects of Nitrix? and how many capsules should I take daily if I am 160 pounds?
Opt for Nos Precursor by Get Diesel, its a superior NO tablet product, is cheaper, and BSN is in trouble for their products not meeting label claims.
I took BSN's Nitrix for about 3 months and had amazing pumps every workout.Some times almost painfull! It took it about 2.5 weeks to fully kick in for me. At around 170lbs (about 2 years ago) I took 3 pills 3 times ED between meals. However I experienced no real weight gain that I attributed to the Nitrix. And the pumps def did NOT!! last all day. Maybe, Maybe an hour or so longer after workouts than usual that's all. Over Hyped? YES! Effective? Some what (but only temporarily) Would I spend 100bucks to try it again? F*CK NO!!
people dont realize that for vaso products to even work that u have to have a low bodyfat percentage(to actually see the pumps and veins) otherwise u wont see nothing ...thats why some people say theyre trash and some say they work great

FREDERICK, Md. – The win streak is now 11 after CUA (20-5) downed Hood 3-1 on the road Thursday evening. The Cardinals won the first set 25-14, before falling 25-23 in set number-two. CUA rallied back to win the next two sets rather handily, 25-9 and 25-5.
Claudia Jean continued her strong play with 16 kills and 23 digs, while Bridget Kulesh also finished with double-digit kills (10). Audrey Bizak added nine kills and Kelly Crimmins and Tess O'Leary notched eight each.
Kristina Purcell totaled 19 digs for the Cardinals, while Mariana Cruz finished with 32 assists and eight digs.
Brittany Lethbridge totaled 10 kills for Hood, while Amy Hagerdon was the team leader in digs with 16.
CUA heads to Bethlehem, Pa. this weekend for the second Landmark Conference weekend where the Cardinals will face Merchant Marine Academy (3:30) and Juniata (6:00) on Saturday and Moravian on Sunday morning at 11 a.m.
The Cardinals enter this weekend unbeaten in the conference. They spoke about the upcoming weekend in the video below.

Artificial muscles--actuators based on such materials as certain types of metals and polymers that shrink, grow, or change shape--are useful for prosthetic limbs, microscale machines, and robots.
Several issues still must be corrected. As greater loads are applied to actuators, they can start to exhibit "creep"--that is, they do not completely return to their original state with successive cycles. Baughman says that before these actuators can be useful, creep must be eliminated. "Under load, the cycle is not reversible--you've got a little creep. In most actuator applications, you don't want any creep."
Another key issue is scaling up from thin individual threads. Although the carbon-nanotube muscles can outperform natural muscles on a per-area basis, exerting 100 times the force, natural muscles are much larger, making them stronger.

Love, Jackie
The Johnsons and the Kennedys are popularly thought to have shared a strong mutual dislike, but stacks of letters and a remarkable tape of Jacqueline Kennedy reminiscing show something very different —and more interesting
September 1994 | Volume 45, Issue 5
But these supposed insider accounts entirely missed a warm and highly personal correspondence between the three, written all those years that the rumors of their mutual dislike were strongest. As a matter of fact, not since Abigail Adams and Thomas Jefferson wrote to each other had there been such a personal correspondence between a President and another President's wife. Based at first upon political courtesy, it developed into a true friendship.
Spanning more than a decade, the letters between Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and the Johnsons show ties so close as to be almost familial. Contrary to popular belief, this became particularly true after President Kennedy's assassination; it is Mrs. Kennedy's startling seven-page handwritten letter to the new President dated November 26, 1963, that sets the tone for the relationship.
A selection of these letters, drawn from the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library in Austin, Texas, reveals a markedly intense and emotional tone. These are not simply little bread-and-butter notes, and their cumulative effect, alongside Mrs. Kennedy's 1974 oral history, made for the library, defies the belief that she held her husband's successor in contempt.
Just a few years ago, long after any need for political expediency had vanished, Mrs. Onassis was discussing Vietnam and LBJ with someone who vehemently criticized him. According to this source, Mrs. Onassis strongly defended Johnson and spoke with great feeling about his kindness to her and how close they had been.
In this respect the relationship holds some resemblance to that between Eleanor Roosevelt and Bess and Harry Truman: a First Lady and then presidential widow who had become a legend in her own right befriends the Vice President who has been chosen merely to balance the ticket and who comes from an entirely different social world. Both Jacqueline Kennedy and Eleanor Roosevelt remained public symbols of their husband's political programs while their successors —Johnson and Truman—took on the difficult task of forging their own agendas and identities. As the public searched for differences between the widows and the new Presidents, the press fanned the flames of speculation. This would put a strain on any friendship, yet Jackie and the Johnsons remained close—closer far than Eleanor and the Trumans. Bridging the gap, certainly at first, between the apolitical Jackie Kennedy and the highly political Lyndon Johnson was the gentle yet politically savvy Lady Bird Johnson.
The two women first met in their roles as Senate wives. When Jackie entered that circle after her September 1953 wedding to Senator Kennedy, Mrs. Johnson recalled in a 1987 interview, "I remember distinctly … this beautiful young woman coming to my very simple house. … I thought how young she was, and how different from all the rest of us!"
A year later, in November 1954, Mrs. Kennedy wrote her first letter to Lyndon Johnson, thanking him for his getwell note to Senator Kennedy, who was recovering from serious spinal surgery. Warm and informal, the letter marks the beginning of their correspondence and their friendship: "Dear Senator Johnson," she begins, "I just wanted to tell you how terribly much your kind letter meant to Jack. …" She explains that her husband is far too weak to reply himself, then goes on to say, "I never realized how much letters from friends who are thinking about you mean to people who are sick—they give you so much strength and courage for the long weeks when you have to lie in that horrible dark hospital room—so I want to thank you too—because I saw how much it meant to Jack. …
"I've just realized that here I have been scribbling away about my husband's illness and never told you how wonderfully thrilled we are for your being Majority Leader—You must be so happy and proud—and I know you will absolutely make history in it. …Very Sincerely, Jacqueline Kennedy."
At the 1960 Democratic Convention in Los Angeles, Lady Bird Johnson was deeply disappointed that Lyndon wasn't nominated for the Presidency and at first didn't want him to settle for anything less. When the phone rang in the Johnsons' hotel suite the morning after Kennedy's nomination, she answered it. It was the nominee asking to see Johnson. Mrs. Johnson told her husband, "Honev, I know he's going to offer the Vice Presidency, and I hope you won't take it." But after much discussion with her and his confidant Sam Rayburn he accepted.

Posted on 12/16/2011 1:53:36 PM PST by NYer
December 15, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - For over three decades Joanna Manning, a former nun turned lesbian feminist pro-abortion activist, plagued faithful Catholics, causing scandal, embarrassment and much frustration. On November 27 Manning was made a priest in the Anglican Church of Canada, a Church which has openly accepted homosexuality and abortion. It was a day when, as her friend and fellow dissident Catholic Ted Schmidt wrote, I am sure God smiled and the angels danced.
Its a rare occurrence when Im able to agree with Schmidt, but on this occasion, I do, and not for the reasons many would expect.
To be sure, Im relieved that Manning will no longer, under the guise of a "faithful Catholic," spout for the eager ears of the mainstream media diatribes against the pope - many of which she penned in her book Is the Pope Catholic. She will no longer be able to speak as a Catholic representing the pro-abortion activist group Catholics for a Free Choice as she did during the effort to remove the Vatican from its official observer status at the United Nations.
She will no longer be teaching students (and teachers) at Catholic schools about the glories of gay sex, and how the Church must embrace it as the creative energy of God.
Believe it or not, this radically unorthodox ex-nun was head of Religion and Chaplaincy at Monsignor Johnson High School in Etobicoke, Ontario. Moreover, she reveals in her biography that she developed high school curriculum for the Catholic school Board and even for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. She sat as an executive on the Catholic teachers union and was hired by the Faculty of Education at York University to teach theology to teachers working in the Catholic School Board.
However, this is not the cause of my joy at hearing of the latest news about Joanna Manning. I dont regard Manning as an enemy; I do not wish her harm in any way. I wish her only the very best: happiness eternal happiness. To get to that place however, she must still travel a long road, but with this move she has taken a first step.
While Manning was a professed Catholic she was causing much harm not only to the faithful and to society in general but also harming herself.
We should all live authentically, to represent faithfully what we profess. Although we may at times fall, we then acknowledge our faults and try to mend our ways, always maintaining the truth of the principles despite our weaknesses.
However, it is quite another thing to profess a religion and be regarded in the public eye as a representative of it and then misrepresent its teachings: to decide that a church should be different, more to your personal tastes, and then to try to subversively change it from within.
It is much better to be true to oneself and to reject the hypocrisy of claiming one reality and teaching another. Either call yourself a Catholic and embrace the teachings of the Catholic Church or else join another community of faith and be true to its tenets. There is honor in being true to one's conscience in that way.
In leaving the Catholic Church and joining the nouveau Canadian Anglican Church (not to be mistaken for the pro-life and pro-family Anglican Network in Canada), Manning can now be true to herself and her professed religion. That spirit of rebellion which took hold of her many years ago has less of a grip on her in her new home.
Perhaps, and this is my fervent prayer, Manning will come to realize what she has given up and long for it once again. I dont mean what she has given up lately in now embracing her status as a non-Catholic, I mean what she gave up many decades ago her acceptance of Gods design for human sexuality, for life and family.
And what an amazing conversion story that would be! God would surely smile, and the Angels dance.
As that guy on the airline commercial always says......."It's a win-win situation........" :-)
Pray for the end to abortion.
abusive turkey basters?
Anglicans get what they ask for. Plus, she's ugly.
I'd like to know why she left. And was not forced to leave.
It's amazing what some religions tolerate these days.
Indeed. All this hand wringing about how terrible a person is just that when she is left among the flock.
Those who refused to act are her enablers.
I agree. It's difficult to understand why she was so long tolerated rather than excommunicated - which is what the Christian church according to Paul in the epistles to the Corinthians demanded they do. The leaders failed in their obligations. The article said, "I am sure God smiled and the angels danced. I think it is rather the god of this fallen world and his fallen angels that are smiling.
The word we use is "bishops"... hirelings, what have you.
most lesbians are not pro abortion. They are merely women who prefer a woman instead of a man. Some were born that way, others have too much male hormone, and other chose to love a woman because of prior abuse by men.
However, Feminists are pro abortion, and many feminist organizations are run by militant lesbians who see men as the enemy, the family as a patriarchal plot to stop equal rights, and children as an obstacle to their self realization...
If I understand 2 John 10, 11 correctly, NOT removing one like this constitutes a sharing in the sin itself.
Sure, why not? We're not talking about otherwise Godly men who just "oops" happened to let some pedos and homos run riot. I didn't use the term hirelings, and we don't talk about the "Lavender Mafia" because it makes things sound fun.
Great explanation. Thanks.
It seems that every time there's a trade between Holy Mother Church and the Anglicans, Holy Mother Church gets the franchise players (Newman, Manning, Graham Leonard, George Rutler, etc.) and the Anglicans get the taxi squad rejects (Matthew Fox, Alberto Cutie, and now Joanna Manning).
1. Anglicans are converting to Catholicism by the demoninations, WITH their Anglican priests. Anglican groups (by churches) started writing to the Vatican some 40 years ago asking to be re-united with Rome.
There is in place a brand new Ordinarium, just for these Anglican converts, along the lines of the Ordinarium for our military. The Anglicans will get to keep their own Liturgy, with the new Transubstantition, of course.
This had to happen as a reaction to the major liberalization of their faith.
2. She's ugly for two reasons:
a. Her hair belongs on a woman (or man) forty years younger.
b. One CANNOT stop imagining the, um, lesbian aspect without shuddering. It's a built-in reflex of a naturally built human being.
I agree with all you say but one statement.
There is, so far, no "gay" gene. I USED to believe that homosexuals were born that way, as least some of them. But, you KNOW that there has been EXTENSIVE research to find this mythical "gay" gene done in this world to validate homosexuality. You KNOW tons of money, time and effort has been spent on this search.
So far, zilch.
It might happen someday, that a "gay" gene is found, but, as yet, one has to say that people ARE NOT born homosexual.
First things first: why was she tolerated in a position where she was instructing young people? Why was she producing "educational" material for the national bishops' conference?
The responsibility in these matters rests with the diocesan bishop; in this case, that's the Archbishop of Toronto, Most Rev. Thomas Collins.
A clue may be gained by looking at this "About Our Faith" page from the archdiocesan website.
Along with the amusing web design errors ("Cathecism"? And 5 numbered items in a list, all numbered "1"?) you'll note that it makes the church sound a lot like a social service organization. Apparently, Jesus died on the Cross to inspire us to help the poor. (And the parable of the loaves and fishes was about "sharing", etc.)
Of course, it's entirely possible that Sister left the church because she was being forced out of her position, and the Archbishop just took his time in acting, to have all his "ducks in a row," so to speak. I don't know what the backstory is. The archbishop was installed in 2007. I don't know how long Sister was in her position.
If you want to see smoke pour from someone's ears as they realize the absurdity of their position, ask a militantly pro-abortion homosexual who believes in the "gay gene" if they'd be okay with parents aborting a child because prenatal testing demonstrated that he or she carried the "gay gene".
So true.
There was no down side to amneocentsis until this "gay gene" nonsense came up. The absurdity reached its height when someone predicted an anti-abortion, pro-life rally with Catholics and homosexuals.
Totally weird.
there are ovarian problems that cause high androgen levels and a high percentage of these women are lesbians.
And if a child is abused, the tendency is developmental.
The choice is that one can chose behavior...
Still, no "gay" gene, but, as you say, behavior is a choice.
P.S. And if a child is abused, the tendency is developmental.
Are you talking about "the tendency" is that of being one towards homosexuality?
From what I've gathered over the decades on homosexuality, the experts always end up saying that "a variety of components, relationships with parents, males, females, environment, developmental ... all contribute to a possible tendency toward homosexuality." They don't pinpoint ANY specifics because there really aren't any to pinpoint yet.
They do say that some people have a possible "proclivity" to homosexuality. I dunno. They say that about obesity, overeating, alcoholism and so on.
VAGUE, vague, VAGUE vague
Perhaps that's the nature of medical science.

Beshear signs bill to tighten oversight of metal recyclers
Kentucky Press News Service
LOUISVILLE – Metal recyclers in Kentucky will soon be required to register and keep records of their purchases under legislation sponsored by Rep. Tanya Pullin which becomes law July 12.
During a ceremonial signing of House Bill 390 Monday at the Louisville Metro Police Department's Third Division, Gov. Steve Beshear said the bill will ensure that recyclers are not inadvertently receiving stolen metal such as copper, brass, aluminum, bronze, lead or zinc.
"What Rep. Pullin has put into place is a statute that will give our Kentucky State Police the ability to track not only sellers of stolen metals, but those who knowingly purchase those metals, many times after Kentuckians have been victimized by the vandalizing of home and business air conditioning units or other sources of these metals," Beshear said in a statement released by his office. "This will make it much more difficult for metal thieves to operate in the Commonwealth."
HB 390 requires a registry for second metal recyclers, which will be administered by the Office of Occupations and Professions in the Public Protection Cabinet. That registry will require applicants to pay the Kentucky State Police for conducting background checks. The legislation also limits payments for restricted metals to be done by check or electronic bank transfer rather than cash. It also requires the registry to keep records of restricted metal purchases such as manhole covers, guardrails, traffic signs, etc., and makes those records available to law enforcement at all times. Additionally, HB 390 recommends the creation of a Recyclable Metals Theft Prevention Working Group.
"House Bill 390 takes an innovative approach to curb metal theft by removing much of the incentive of quick cash for stolen metals," Pullin said. "Recyclers, in particular, have worked with us and law enforcement to put a dent in metal theft."
Once the regulations have been finalized, second metals recyclers will be required to submit to a name-based background check and receive a certificate of registration from O&P within 60 days of the effective date of the regulations.

Rich Clare Pentagon Band is a six-piece show band that plays rock 'n' roll and R&B. Formed in 1971, the band showcases music from Wilson Picket, Smash Mouth, Buddy Holly, U2 and much more. In early 1971, Rich Clare asked long-time friend Jim Colestock to form what would become Rich Clare Pentagon. During the 20 years Rich Clare Pentagon traveled, they became a mainstay in the Atlantic City Casinos, played Las Vegas, L.A. and Puerto Rico, and appeared on a Showtime Special entitled "Steve Allen Live on the QE2." In 1991, the band came off the road to call it farewell. At the 20th reunion concert at Hershey park, the attendance was so amazing that Hershey asked the band to return to perform every summer. The band now plays a full schedule year-round including casinos, dances, fairs, fundraisers, carnivals and more. To this day the two original members of the band Rich Clare and Jim Colestock still perform with the band - and do it well! |

McConnell Will Vote to Advance Immigration Bill in Senate
Roxana Tiron and Kathleen HunterImmigration legislation scheduled for a Senate test today has "serious flaws," Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said while pledging to vote to begin debate on the measure.
The Senate plans two votes this afternoon on formally taking up the bipartisan bill that would create a path to citizenship for about 11 million undocumented U.S. immigrants and increase security at the border with Mexico.
"I'll vote to debate it, and for the opportunity to amend it," said McConnell, a Kentucky Republican. The measure's border-security provisions must be strengthened, he said, a position also taken by House Speaker John Boehner in an interview broadcast today on ABC's "Good Morning America."
Still, Boehner said, there is "no question" that "by the end of the year, we could have a bill" passed by both houses of Congress and signed by President Barack Obama.
Democrats are pressing for passage of sweeping immigration legislation that Obama has made a top priority after Hispanic voters gave him 71 percent support in the November election. Many Republicans, particularly in the House, oppose the measure's citizenship path and are demanding stiffer border-security measures.
"If you're actually serious and sincere about fixing a broken system, this is the vehicle to do it, and now's the time to get it done," the president said at the White House today. Obama urged supporters to "call and Tweet your senators and tell them, 'Don't kick this problem down the road.'"
Border Security
Senate Democratic leaders want to pass the measure, S. 744, by July 4 and send it to the House. Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said today that if lawmakers have proposals to improve the border-security provisions, "let's take a look at it."
Boehner and other Republican House leaders have decided to move more quickly and focus on immigration before the August recess, three Republican aides said yesterday. The aides asked not to be quoted by name because official deadlines haven't been set. Unlike in the Senate, House leaders haven't committed to advancing a comprehensive immigration rewrite.
"It's very wise that House Republicans are trying to position themselves to try and not look like they are slowing down or stopping immigration reform," Ron Bonjean, a Republican strategist and former congressional aide, said in an interview.
Avoiding Pressure
House leaders want to avoid being pressured into considering the Senate legislation if they don't have proposals of their own. With budget issues and the debate over raising the federal debt ceiling probably taking up floor time in September and October, this month and July offer an opportunity for the House to produce an immigration plan, the aides said.
The last significant congressional effort to revise U.S. immigration law stalled in 2007. Republicans are trying to reconnect with Hispanics after Obama won most of the constituency's votes in November.
Boehner and Representative Bob Goodlatte, a Virginia Republican who leads the Judiciary Committee, have said the House will take a step-by-step approach. The panel is considering separate bills to address aspects of the immigration debate, including the flow of agricultural and high-technology workers to the U.S.
Goodlatte hasn't said whether his committee will consider a comprehensive measure being drafted by a bipartisan group of House members. The Virginia Republican said he will review the measure after it's introduced.
Labrador Quits
The bipartisan group has been working on an immigration plan for more than four years. The group last week lost a member, Idaho Republican Raul Labrador, who quit because of disagreements over whether undocumented immigrants seeking legal status should receive subsidized health benefits.
Labrador, a Tea Party favorite, said June 5 that he opposes an agreement among the three other Republicans and four Democrats in the negotiating group to offer subsidized health care to undocumented immigrants with provisional legal status.
"If we can't agree on language on health care, then I think we have a long road to go," Labrador said. "I am going to try to find my own way to reform immigration. I think there's a better way. It has to pass the House."
Divisions have emerged among Republicans over how much the measure's border-security provisions should be strengthened. A co-author of the Senate bill, Florida Republican Marco Rubio, is working to craft an amendment that could draw Republican support.
Rubio hasn't said whether he will seek to include elements of a proposal last week from Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn to impose new border-security requirements before undocumented U.S. immigrants can seek legal status.
New York Senator Charles Schumer, a Democratic co-sponsor of the immigration measure, has said members of his party would oppose changes to those benchmarks.

Eat Your Spinach: Time for Peace Talks in Afghanistan
In the last week the New York Times and Inter Press Service have reported that the Obama Administration is having an internal debate on whether to supports talks with senior Afghan Taliban leaders, including Mullah Muhammad Omar, as a means of ending the war in Afghanistan. Senior officials like Vice President Biden are said to be more open to reaching out because they believe it will help shorten the war.
Wouldn't it be remarkable if this remained merely an "internal debate" within the Obama Administration? Wouldn't you expect that the part of public opinion that wants the war to end would try to intervene in this debate on behalf of talks in order to end the war?
As an administration official told the New York Times,
"Today, people agree that part of the solution for Afghanistan is going to include an accommodation with the Taliban, even above low- and middle-level fighters."
And in fact, US and British officials have been saying for months that the "endgame" in Afghanistan includes a negotiated political settlement with the Afghan Taliban.
Now, suppose you tell Mom that you want to have ice cream. And Mom says, you can have ice cream when you've eaten your spinach. Wouldn't you eat your spinach? If you don't eat your spinach now, you didn't want ice cream very badly.
So if U.S. and British officials say the endgame includes a negotiated political settlement with the Afghan Taliban, and you figure, extrapolating from the last five thousand years of human history, that a negotiated political settlement typically does not just drop down from the sky, but in fact is generally preceded by political negotiations, and you want to end the war as soon as possible, wouldn't you be clamoring for political negotiations to start as soon as possible? Because the longer political negotiations are delayed, the longer the war will last. If you don't support political negotiations now, you don't want to end the war very badly. If you consider peace negotiations with the Afghan Taliban "distasteful," consider this: every month that the war continues, every month that U.S. troops remain in Afghanistan, is another month in which U.S. soldiers will die horrible deaths, be horribly maimed, and be horribly scarred psychologically, perhaps for life. It's also another month in which the U.S. military is likely to "accidentally" kill Afghan government soldiers (such episodes "are not uncommon," the New York Times notes) and kill Afghan civilians, as they have done at least twice in the last week, according to the reporting in the New York Times and the Washington Post.
I put the word "accidentally" in quotation marks, not of course because I believe that the U.S. military is killing Afghan soldiers and Afghan civilians "on purpose," but because when you repeatedly take an action (continuing the war) that leads to a predictable result (killing Afghan government soldiers and civilians) you lose the exoneration otherwise conferred by the word "accidentally."
Is this not also "distasteful"? Is killing innocent people not more "distasteful" than peace talks?
Gareth Porter, writing for Inter Press Service, reports that an official of the Western military coalition says there has been a debate among U.S. officials about "the terms on which the Taliban will become part of the political fabric." The debate is not on whether the Taliban movement will be participating in the Afghan political system, Porter reports, but on whether or not the administration could accept the participation of Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar in the political future of Afghanistan.
The Afghan Taliban has insisted in published statements that it will not participate in peace talks that would not result in the withdrawal of foreign troops, Porter notes. That raises the question of whether the administration would be willing to discuss the complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan as part of a negotiated settlement to the conflict.
The Obama Administration has stated publicly that it has no long-term interest in maintaining U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Therefore, should not the U.S. be willing to agree to a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops as part of a negotiated settlement? We're leaving anyway, according to U.S. officials - what's holding us back from agreeing, as part of a negotiation, to do what we plan to do anyway?
U.S. officials have said that the war is all about the relationship between the Afghan Taliban and al Qaeda. When the Afghan Taliban breaks with al Qaeda the war is over, say these officials. Some say that Mullah Omar is ready to break with al Qaeda, including the Pakistani intelligence officer who trained him; while Osama bin Laden's son Omar says Al Qaeda and the Taliban are only "allies of convenience." Why wouldn't we put these propositions to the test through negotiations? If you think, for the sake of peace, the United States should be willing to agree to do on a timetable that which it claims it intends to do anyway, tell President Obama.
Oh, the Bush Administration was focused, ok on Iraq!Changes in eutlurcs don't happen overnight.How people treat their women and children and seniors, vary from culture to culture. You don't win points by telling people what to do. You can encourage and reward good behaviour. You can get the government of that country to pass laws protecting different groups. But you can't baby-sit an entire culture. I'm not saying abandon them when/if we pull out. But, in the end, Afghanistani's have to support that change. And you're talking about an ancient tribal country.' They won't make the change overnight.In the end, I'm not sure what to do, other than encourage those that want to leave to go ahead and leave. But where to? And with what support system when they get there? It's not like that part of the world has a plethora of countries with stellar womens rights backgrounds. Look at the Saudi's.Over here? I don't think in our current political environment, you can convince conservatives to allow Muslim women to come to the US. Look at the battles back in the day over allowing Vietnamese families to come here. Maybe I'm wrong about the conservatives. I just don't think so.And besides, we have our own issues with women right here in this country.We passed the Ledbetter Law just last year. And that was only 90 years after giving women here the right to vote.Options for choice get narrower every year. Hell, you have groups out there who want to limit peoples options for birth control working the state legislatures all over the country right now.And you recently had people working in the medical and pharmaceutical fields wanting the option of not selling birth control pills and prophylactics, or telling women of other options.We have our own American Taliban that we have to deal with.BTW Please don't tell me that any members of the American Taliban are arguing to stay in Afghanistan to protect the women there. I couldn't stand a dose of that level of hypocrisy.In the end, though, it's the law of unintended consequences. Before you do something, you need to think it through thoroughy. Obviously, we didn't. And no matter what we do, stay or leave fully, or only partially withdraw, it will be, as it always was before, the women and children who suffer.You need to think about these things before you unleash the dogs of war, like some people are clammoring for in Iran. Look before you leap. Then look again, and again, and again I would like to hear what other think we can, or should do.

Sickels and Matt Garrioch have their second mock draft up. Obviously these are largely for fun. Especially with the draft still six weeks away, and the uncertainty of how teams will aproach it considering the drastic changes to the CBA.
http://www.minorleagueball.com/2012/...-april-edition I would be rather pleased with the Trahan pick, but as history has shown us the Sox don't draft many prep players. Especially in the 1st round. The last one was Kris Honel in 2001. There does exist the possibility that the draft changes alter the White Sox approach though. Especially since later round prep draft picks now have more incentive to go to college. If the Sox desire any high schoolers, they generally need to be drafted rather early on. (Lest the reallocation scenario.) |

550 Gerbils Rescued From Home
Insert your own Richard Gere joke here.
An animal welfare group confiscated 550 gerbils that had been kept in stacked containers in a small house in southern England, and asked the British public for help in caring for the animals.
The gerbils were found in a variety of cages and makeshift containers, including badly ventilated wine boxes, stacked to heights of more than 6 feet throughout the one-bedroom home in Portsmouth, according to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
"The hallway was full, and there were about 35 containers in the bathroom alone," group inspector Mick Garrity said. "The male and female gerbils had not been separated, so they were continuing to just breed and breed." Many of the animals were in poor condition and needed veterinary attention.
The owners of the house agreed Tuesday to hand the animals over to the animal welfare group, which took them to a nearby animal shelter in Fareham. "Many of the females will be pregnant, so it is possible that we will see the number of animals double, creating even more of a problem," shelter manager Mike Ward said. "With so many gerbils to care for, our staff have been stretched to the limit."

You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump |
While I admire Mozilla's aversion to patented codecs, rather than defining Theora only they should really default to the codecs available on the system (if that's possible). After all, what if I want to use Dirac?
Many thanks to the forum regulars who put time and effort into helping others solve their problems. |
Unfortunately that's not very reasonable backrow, it would be a nightmare to have the <video> tags work with every format out there.. as individuals would need to keep obtaining codecs and configuring (..possibly recompiling) the browser each time, or being unable to obtain them at all.. i.e: proprietary stuff.
Firefox includes a Theora/ogg decoder that works on all of their supported platforms, it doesn't depend on any 3rd party library support.. and some sites have encoded their videos in that (..open) format. Can you imagine having a plethora of sites/browsers supporting the new tag with many opinions on the best codec? how is it any different from a proprietary web using Adobe Flash? Last edited by BSDfan666; 25th January 2010 at 05:57 AM. |
The question of what codecs people have available is little different then what fonts they have available, only you can't fallback on the browsers default.
It's to late for the web to be a perfect place, we can only live in it, and try to leave it better then we found it.

text: It's a white problem, not an age problem by digby As I wrote yesterday, I agree with David's post below. I honestly think that ideology probably mattered far less than a rejection of the general meanness and lack of empathy shown by Republicans over these last few years of hard times. I guess I'm just a Pollyanna, but I don't believe that a majority of the American people feel the kind of hatred for their fellow men and women. However, I must take exception to one thing that David said below. He indicates through his final picture that this is the province of elderly white people and they are not going to be allowed to dictate the course of this country for the future. Here's the problem: it isn't just elderly white people. It's white people, even young ones: The youngest are indeed, more Democratic. But they also, as usual, feature a larger share of third party votes, many of which are libertarian and will translate into Republican votes as they get older. Yes, they're less conservative than their elders, but not that much less conservative. The reason I bring this up is because I think it's important to be clear eyed about generational theories. I grew up in what was thought by every cultural and political observer of the time to be a monolithic liberal generation. We made up a gigantic portion of the population and changed many things in our time. But it was a mistake to believe that we were all liberal, even if popular culture made it seem so --- as Nixonland showed, the baby boomers were politically divided just like everyone else, even then. And many of them became more conservative as they grew older. There are fewer white racists among the younger generation, no doubt about it. And David is right that many of the dogwhistles were aimed at the old codgers. But there was only about a five point difference between the oldest white Republican voters and the youngest --- and there is no difference at all among whites over the age of 39, most of whom will be voting for a very long time to come. This is less an age problem than a race problem and we'd better be aware of that. Take it from me, it's highly unlikely that these younger white people are going to get any more liberal as time goes on. . digby 11/09/2012 09:00:00 AM
