As I mentioned earlier, everyone is talking now, sharing insider information on how out of control she was before finally going to Promises.

KFed confirms, sells, and sucks up
So Kevin Federline announced yesterday via USA Today the name of his 4th child – a boy with Britney called Jayden James, something we've known for days, but curiously only confirmed on Tuesday, October 31st…the day his album dropped.

Margaret Michaelis
Love, loss and photography
7 May – 14 August 2005
You spoke of my chosen home ... Among other things [Australia] gave me 35 years of peace and the opportunity to build up a new existence.
— Margaret Michaelis, 1974
Like numerous other émigrés forced into exile during the 1930s, Austrian-born photographer Margaret Michaelis (nee Gross) arrived in Australia with very few possessions. However, she did manage to bring examples of the photographic work she had produced in Europe during the 1920s and 30s, as well as some personal items. The latter included a bundle of love letters from her first husband, Rudolf Michaelis, whom she had married in Berlin in 1933 and divorced in Barcelona four years later. Margaret Michaelis kept these photographs and letters with her throughout her life; the year after her death in 1985 they were donated to the National Gallery of Australia and are now part of the extensive Margaret Michaelis-Sachs archive. The exhibition Margaret Michaelis: Love, loss and photography is based on that archive and adopts a deliberately personal tone, weaving together aspects of Michaelis's professional and personal lives.
Born into a liberal Jewish family Margaret Michaelis was given every educational opportunity by her parents. She studied photography in Vienna and during the 1920s worked in prominent Viennese studios, including the famous and flamboyant Studio d'Ora. These were formative years in which she was trained in the use of modern photographic styles and developed her lifelong interest in photographic portraiture. For Michaelis, and many other women of her generation, photography offered the possibility not simply of a livelihood but of a career. Early photographs suggest that she saw herself as a modern woman, one of the neue Frau who challenged conventional social mores.

Around 1930 Margaret Michaelis moved to Berlin. Her timing was not auspicious – the Depression had had a huge impact on the photographic industry, wiping out the clientele for portraiture and reducing demand for advertising or what was known as illustrative photography. Not surprisingly in the midst of high unemployment rates Michaelis secured only short-term positions as an assistant in various photographic studios. But it was in Berlin that her life took another direction – after meeting Rudolf Michaelis, a committed anarcho-syndicalist active in the resistance against fascism. In 1933, following Hitler's consolidation of power, Rudolf and Margaret were arrested in separate incidents and eventually fled to Spain in November.
In Barcelona Margaret Michaelis established her own photographic studio and over the next four years produced an outstanding and very important body of work. From 1934-36 she was closely associated with a group of modernist architects known as the GATCPAC led by J.L Sert. These architects pursued a radical agenda - they were committed to rebuilding and revitalizing a run-down area of old Barcelona which Michaelis documented extensively on their behalf. For individual architects she also made architectural studies of the new modern buildings being constructed in Barcelona. Many of her photographs were published in the leading journals of the day that championed modernity.
With the outbreak of the Civil War in 1936 Michaelis's practice became more overtly politicised. Her sympathies were with the people fighting in defense of the Republic and her photographs were quick, energetic responses to the dramatically changing situation in Catalonia and Aragon. She photographed the leading international anarchist Emma Goldman who visited Spain to offer support to those involved in the people's revolution including members of the recently established rural collectives. Michaelis's portrait of Goldman is heroic and monumental.
Forced out of Spain in 1937 Michaelis briefly re-joined her family in Poland before fleeing to London in December 1938. She was eventually accepted for migration to Australia and arrived in Sydney in September 1939, opening her own photographic studio a year later. For the next twelve years Margaret Michaelis was one of the few women photographers working in Sydney; she specialized in portraiture and dance photography. Her clientele was often European, Jewish but also included many people involved in the arts.
Michaelis's Australian photographs speak of her experiences of exile and dislocation and are different in tone to her European photographs. In Barcelona she produced engaged, socially committed images – they were usually taken outside, often in the street and were crammed with activity. Her modern, lightweight Leica camera gave her the mobility she desired and many of her photographs are characterized by their spontaneity and casualness. In contrast, in Australia Michaelis invariably worked in her own studio, setting up her camera on a tripod and ensuring that the different compositional and lighting elements were brought firmly under control. The resultant portraits, most of which are of a single subject, are formal, quiet and inward looking.
Margaret Michaelis Encounter (Shona Dunlop and Hilary Napier in "Seastudy") c.1947 gelatin silver photograph, gift of the estate of Margaret Michaelis-Sachs 1986.
During her career Margaret Michaelis worked with a range of different photographic genres and styles. She was an advocate of modernist photography, also known as the New Photography style, which utilized sharp focus and often unexpected vantage points (photographing from elevated heights or close up). When it came to portraiture she was interested in the psychological dimension of her sitters and saw photography as the ideal means for revealing the subject's essence or inner reality. This may well explain why many of her most successful portraits are of artists such as sculptor Lyndon Dadswell, painter Weaver Hawkins and writer Cynthia Reed – people who were appreciative of and responsive to the creative possibilities of portraiture as a genre. Portraiture, however, was also a mainstay of the photographic industry and offered a relatively sure means of securing an income.
Margaret Michaelis's story is one that belongs to the twentieth century. It was shaped in large part by momentous events beyond her control – the rise of fascism in Germany and Spain and the outbreak of the second world war.. She was especially vulnerable due to her Jewish background (her extended family appear to have perished in the Holocaust) and her leftwing political sympathies. As a consequence of historical events some of her photographs can be seen to have a retrospective burden. This applies especially to a small, intense series of images taken at a market in the Jewish quarter in Cracow in the early 1930s. The beautifully crafted prints now carry the weight of history, offering a visual trace of a way of life that was destroyed by fascism.
The most personal dimension of Margaret Michaelis: Love, loss and photography deals with the relationship between Margaret Michaelis and her first husband Rudolf Michaelis, known as Michel (the couple married in 1933 and divorced four years later). Letters Margaret Michaelis kept throughout her life span two crucial phases in their relationship – its beginnings which were expressed in love letters written during 1931 and a sustained correspondence initiated in 1967 after Margaret visited Rudolf in East Berlin. Margaret kept not only Rudolf's letters but her own draft replies as well, thus making it possible to witness both sides of their dialogue. The second phase of their story revolves around the recovery of lost memories and making peace with their past.

Margaret Michaelis was one of a number of European émigrés who made an invaluable contribution to Australian cultural life in the post-war period. Informed by her European training and experiences her practice helps expand the ways in which the modern photography movement in Australia might be considered.

The world's best female surfers are gearing up for the second stop on the 2010 ASP Women's World Tour, the Rip Curl Women's Pro Bells Beach presented by Ford Fiesta, running at the historic site of Bells Beach from March 30 through April 5, 2010.
Hot on the heels of a blistering start to the season, the ASP Top 17 are making their way to the iconic pointbreaks of Victoria as they hunt down rankings' points, prestige and the all-important ASP Women's World Title.
Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 22, reigning three-time ASP Women's World Champion and current ASP Women's World No. 1, kicked off 2010 in fine fashion with a win at the season opener on the Gold Coast, but remains cautious when discussing the possibility of a fourth ASP Women's World Title so early in the year.
"That (a fourth ASP Women's World Title) is way too far off to even mention," Gilmore said. "My start was a little surprise for me, but has set me up well for the Australian leg of the tour so let's just wait and see how things turn out at the upcoming event."
Despite the humility, Gilmore's track record at the venue does nothing but instill confidence in her supporters, winning the event in 2007 and 2008 as well as finishing Runner-Up in 2009.
"Bells is quite a deceiving wave because it looks perfect and easy to surf but you find yourself challenged with constantly reading the wave and trying to miss the fatter sections and keeping flow and momentum until the inside section as well as not burning up too much energy in the cold water." Gilmore said. "So there's a lot more thinking rather than instinct, but I seem to do well at Bells and prefer the slower more polished style of surfing that shines through when you're on a wave."
Melanie Bartels (HAW), 27, current ASP Women's World No. 2, had a solid start to 2010, finishing Runner-Up on the Gold Coast and will look to draw on her years of experience when it comes to the wave at Bells Beach.
"If we are surfing the Bowl then the wave reminds me of my home break, 'Makaha' so it'd be like surfing at home and the wave would suit me very well," Bartels said. "Now if the waves are smaller and the comp is held at 'Rincon' then that's a totally different wave that would remind me of a break I used to train at when I was a kid called, 'Barber's Point'. So either way, I'll be ready."
Surfing with renewed vigor and confidence, Bartels has established herself as a real threat to the ASP Women's World Title.
"This event is by far one of the most prestigious events on tour and in the world so it'd be an honor if I am the one who rings that bell in 2010 baby," Bartels said. "In the Men's event, the ones to watch will obviously be Fanning, Parko, Taj, Kelly, Jordy, Dane and A.I. As for the Women's, the one to watch would have to be 'The New Melanie Bartels'!"
Gilmore, Bartels and the remainder of the ASP Top 17 will battle it out in the iconic righthanders of Victoria from March 30 through April 5, 2010.
ASP WOMEN'S WORLD TOUR TOP 5 (Heading Into Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach):
1 - Stephanie Gilmore (AUS)
2 - Melanie Bartels (HAW)
3 - Coco Ho (HAW)
3 - Chelsea Hedges (AUS)
5 - Silvana Lima (BRA)
5 - Sofia Mulanovich (PER)
5 - Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS)
5 - Rebecca Woods (AUS)

It's exactly what you hope for in a historical movie … and so very rarely get. Spielberg not only made this wonderful movie well, he made it smart. Instead of trying to cover the entire Lincoln saga or perhaps myth, he focuses on the President's last months on earth, the period following his reelection during which he pushed through the 13th amendment that finally eliminated slavery in the United States, and ended the war. You will see more about the man Lincoln than in any previous movie or documentary about Lincoln.
The performances are universally brilliant, as you would expect. This is the Hollywood A Team where the magic comes together. Everyone is in this movie — some not even credited but you will recognize them — even if only for a tiny cameo, as if being part of this movie was an honor.
And perhaps so. I suspect actors volunteered for the privilege of being included. The script is intelligent, elegant, somehow managing to convey both the greatness of the man and his pained humanity. There is no reason for me to go into the details of the cast, writing, history, and so on. The review published in the New Yorker covers those bases well and you can read it here or on its original site.
"Lincoln," was written by Tony Kushner, directed by Steven Spielberg, and derived in part from Doris Kearns Goodwin's "Team of Rivals."
Daniel Day-Lewis has gotten the role of a lifetime and gave a performance that will probably define his career. Tommy Lee Jones, James Spader and so many others … literally too many to name … are all brilliant. There are not many big roles for women in this story, but I'd like to make a special mention of Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln. Her performance as First Lady gives this suffering woman the first real depth and three-dimensional portrayal I've ever seen. Mrs. Lincoln has in cinema and history been given short shrift, labeled a crazy lady, then dismissed.
That she was not quite "right" after the loss of her son is well-documented and disseminated, but she was more than a mere wacko. She was politically savvy and highly intelligent, albeit emotionally unstable and in great pain. Perhaps a more stable, supportive mate would have been able to provide some rays of light in the dark world of President Lincoln … but given the dreadful times through which they lived and were destined to play major and tragic roles, this couple was probably doomed to misery, even had Mary Todd been the incarnation of Pollyanna.
The enormity of their personal tragedies combined with the responsibility of being the nation's leader at this particularly desperate historical turning point would have crushed anyone. Lincoln was a giant, but also a man with a wife, children and more than his share of family drama.
The movie is mesmerizing. The way it's shot, moving from panorama to private moments keeps you on the edge of your seat. Even though the outcome is a foregone conclusion, you live through the battles on the floor of the House of Representatives and in the back rooms where agonizing bargains are struck as if you've never seen it before. It's a painfully accurate and timely look at the real process of getting legislation passed, the viciousness, ruthlessness, chicanery and all else that goes into a process that hasn't significantly changed over the past 150 years or more. Great cinema and a Real Politik civics lesson for young and old.
Most of the reviews I've read have emphasized the historical importance but failed to mention that this is a really compelling movie that makes you feel you have traveled back in time. It's great drama with more than a dollop of wit and humor. Watch and chew your nails while Lincoln and his carefully picked team somehow push through an amendment to the constitution against staggering odds while simultaneously ending the deadliest war in American history. It feels like you've never heard or seen it before. Spielberg manages to inject a level of tension and excitement that should be impossible. There are surprises, some of them very funny.
Given the subject matter, it's amazing how often film will make you laugh. There are wonderful scenes, small and intimate, revealing of magic and myth. There are the mandatory "big scenes," of battlefields heaped with corpses, but most of the story takes places in small places, in sheds and basements, back rooms, parlors and hidden corners where the light is always dim. Everyone always looks cold … in the most literal sense. It's winter without central heating and while no one mentions it (why would they? that was the way their world was), men and women alike constantly wrap themselves in blankets and shawls to fend off the chill. It makes you grateful for electricity and radiators, not to mention thermal underwear.
Lincoln is too tall for the world in which he lives. It can barely contain him or the sorrow he carries. He stoops, bent under the weight of impossible choices and ducks through doorways never high enough.
Go see this movie. Take your kids. Take the grandchildren. Then buy it on DVD and watch it again. Let it remind you of how painful it is to have a free nation and how heavy is the price we pay for the privilege.
This is grand entertainment, history, civics and drama wrapped in a story so insane it could only be true. To quote a familiar phrase, "you can't make this stuff up." You rarely get to see movies this good. It's a treasure that will be even more appreciated in years to come.
Regardless of how many Oscars it wins … or doesn't win … this is destined to be a classic. It can't help it. It's just got classic written all over it.
One more interesting note. When the movie ended and the credits started to roll, no one got up and left. No one at all. Every single person in the theater sat there and watched the credits until the screen went dark. I don't know if I've ever seen that happen before.

DLC fit for a king (of preorders)
This March 5th, Americans will be getting the totally bitchin'-looking Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 first, whereas the rest of the world gets theirs on March 8th. That's a clear advantage, one might say. However, when we go by the truly infallible barometer of fortune known as "preorder DLC", the power is clearly stacked in nations that at some point recognized a monarch, in this case Japan, Australia, and most of Europe.
According Facebook reveals from Namco Bandai and intrepid image-hunting from the fine folks at Saiyan Island, Japanese players will score two Naruto costumes fashioned afterDragon Ball Z's Goku and a samurai, a swimsuit costume for Sakura, an ANBU uniform for Kakashi, and alternate-universe renditions of Hinata and Sasuke as seen in the Naruto: Road to Ninja movie. Like Japan, Europe and Australia get the Dragon Ball Z and samurai costumes, but in place of the other four receive a swimsuit for Tsunade, a schoolgirl outfit for Sakura, a kimono for Sasuke, and an ANBU uniform for Itachi.
And for Americans? Only the Dragon Ball costume has been confirmed so far. Do you regret rebelling against the crown now?! Then again, I'd say the smart money's on this DLC popping up for North American gamers in the form of retailer-exclusive handouts from the likes of GameStop, Best Buy, and others, rather than segregating by region. With a month to go until release day, there's a lot of time for Namco Bandai and its retail partners to work things out.

ASOS, beach, beach accessory, Beauty, Fashion, Flash Tattoos, Inspiration, new trend, shopping, Tattoo, temporary tattoos, unusual
Today I received the July issue of ASOS magazine and one of the items featured in it were these really cool temporary tattoos that look like jewellery. They are called Flash Tattoos.
They look amazing and I predict that they will be one of the biggest trends this summer. I asked ASOS when they will be in stock and they played it cool by telling me :
So I am guessing that they will be in stock soon. If you just can't wait then you can buy them now from flashtat.com
The tattoos come in collections which contain 3 or 4 sheets of designs. The tattoos pictured above are from the Child of Wild, Sofia, and Goldfish Kiss collections and cost $30, $22 and $20 respectively. They last between 4 and 6 days and you just need water to apply them. If you have them on while in the sun then you will get tan lines – absolutely gorgeous ones.
Just imagine the tan line from these tattoos from the Dakota collection :
This was not a sponsored post, I just found out about Flash Tattoos and thought that you might like to find out about them too.
Thanks for checking out my blog 🙂

F-22 in Pearl Harbor event scrapes tail, causing $1.8M in damage
An F-22 fighter jet used in a flyover during a remembrance ceremony at Pearl Harbor scraped its tail on a runway as it landed, causing $1.8 million in damage.
A Hawaii National Guard spokesman says nobody was hurt in the incident Friday morning on the 71st anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Lt. Col. Charles Anthony says the jet was coming back to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam from a training exercise after taking part in the ceremony. He says the "mishap" happened roughly 90 minutes after the flyover.
In jet terms, the damage to the F-22's horizontal stabilizers may be little more than a pricey fender-bender.
Anthony says it costs roughly $147 million to make one F-22 fighter.

You may find that the WordPress editor is stripping HTML tags when moving from the visual editor to the text editor.
HTML tags like <br> , <p> agus <span> tags are being removed, when clicking on the text editor whilst in the visual editor.
The removal of the tags can make break the intended layout and can even make some content inaccurate or incorrect.
The fastest way to stop the stripping of the HTML Tags and still allowing to switch between the visual and text editors is to install the Preserved HTML Editor Markup WordPress plugin. Once the plugin is installed and activated, it requires no configuration and WordPress will no longer strip the HTML tags when moving from the visual to text editor.

11 June 2013 at 4.27pm | Comment on this article
The final solo scene of Richard Strauss's Capriccio opens dramatically. Countess Madeleine cries 'Morgen mittags um elf!' (Tomorrow morning at eleven!), followed by a flurry of agitation in the orchestra. The Countess wryly remarks 'This is the hand of Fate!' and at once the music becomes calmer. But a sense of restlessness remains and the orchestra comments on the Countess's shifting emotions as she questions herself – one moment stormy, the next gentle.
Why is the Countess so disquieted? So far in the opera she has generally seemed calm and composed, successfully juggling the attentions of her two suitors – the composer Flamand and the poet Olivier – and kept the peace between them, her stagestruck brother, the actress Clairon and the grandiose director La Roche. But now she is at an impasse. Flamand and Olivier have been challenged to write an opera about the Countess and her guests. The next morning the Countess will have to choose the opera's ending – in other words, to decide whether she will select the poet or the composer as her lover.
The Countess sings a sonnet first heard early in the opera: text by Olivier, music by Flamand. The sweeping lyrical melody, supported by rich string textures and rippling harp chords, highlights the beauty of the soprano voice. The mood is serene, but then shifts to minor harmonies on the words 'life or death'. To more melancholy music, the Countess reflects 'it is futile to try and separate them. Words and music are fused into one'. The music grows warmer and more ardent as she describes the magic of this fusion.
The Countess realizes that it is nearly impossible for her to choose between the poet and the composer. But she must make a choice, and asks herself question after question, increasingly declamatory and her line rising ever higher. The music reaches the heights of intensity as the Countess gazes at her reflection and exclaims 'You wanted to make a pact with love, but now you yourself are on fire and you cannot save yourself!'. For a moment her mood lightens and, accompanied by a teasing oboe melody, she addresses her reflection: 'You look back with a touch of irony?' But almost immediately, her passion flares up as she asks, to full orchestral accompaniment: 'Do you want to burn between two fires?'.
However, Capriccio is not a tragic opera, and the Countess gradually regains her composure. As she gazes silently at her reflection, we hear a dreamy melody in the strings, accompanied by a lulling figuration in the woodwind. Finally, to shimmering string chords, the Countess gently asks her reflection, 'Can you help me to find the ending?' With a trace of humour, she sings her final line, very quietly: 'Is there one [ending] that isn't trivial?' A delicate postlude combining the dreamy string melody with themes earlier associated with Olivier and Flamand, and closing with fragments of melody for solo horn and pizzicato string chords, ends the scene and the opera.
Strauss loved the soprano voice, and wrote many beautiful scenes for soprano. This exquisite depiction of a woman in love – with poetry, music and two very different men – was a fitting conclusion to his marvellous operatic career.
Capriccio in concert will be staged on 19 and 21 July. Tickets are sold out though returns may become available.
The performance is staged with the generous philanthropic support of the Metherell family.
The 2013/14 Season sees the 150th anniversary of Richard Strauss's birth celebrated with productions of Ariande auf Naxos and Die Frau ohne Schatten.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Harvard senior Benjamin Ungar completed his career with All-America first-team status as he finished third in the epee at the NCAA Fencing Championships, hosted by Penn State at the Ashenfelter Multi-Sport Facility. With the second All-America selection of his career, Ungar extended Harvard's streak to four seasons of earning at least one All-America choice.
Harvard finished the men's portion of the NCAA Championships in 10th with 36 points, while the Nittany Lions stand first with 98.
Ungar, who entered Friday in first place after winning 11 of 14 bouts Thursday, won four more matches at the second day of competition to finish the preliminary rounds with a 15-8 record, good for third place. The Harvard co-captain managed 32 touches in rounds 5-7 and boasted a +27 indicator rating entering the semifinals.
In the semifinal round, Ungar, the 2006 individual national champion in the epee, faced Slava Zingerman of Wayne State. Zingerman, the No. 2 seed, topped Ungar, who was seeded third in the championship bracket, by a 15-11 margin to advance to the gold-medal bout.
In the men's sabre, freshman Valentin Staller nearly qualified for All-America honorable mention as he finished 15th with nine victories, three of which came in action Friday. Staller earned 78 touches during the tournament and posted a -21 indicator rating. Senior co-captain Kai Itameri-Kinter won two bouts in the foil Friday, as he placed 20th in the weapon. Itameri-Kinter accumulated 73 touches overall, including 26 in rounds 5-7.
Karl Harmenberg also competed in
the epee and had 66 touches for 23rd place.
Competition in the NCAA Championships continues Saturday with the beginning of the women's events. The matches will begin at 9:40 a.m.

John Gibson of Fox News says that Karl Rove should be given a medal. I agree: Mr. Rove should receive a medal from the American Political Science Association for his pioneering discoveries about modern American politics. The medal can, if necessary, be delivered to his prison cell.
What Mr. Rove understood, long before the rest of us, is that we're not living in the America of the past, where even partisans sometimes changed their views when faced with the facts. Instead, we're living in a country in which there is no longer such a thing as nonpolitical truth. In particular, there are now few, if any, limits to what conservative politicians can get away with: the faithful will follow the twists and turns of the party line with a loyalty that would have pleased the Comintern.
I first realized that we were living in Karl Rove's America during the 2000 presidential campaign, when George W. Bush began saying things about Social Security privatization and tax cuts that were simply false. At first, I thought the Bush campaign was making a big mistake - that these blatant falsehoods would be condemned by prominent Republican politicians and Republican economists, especially those who had spent years building reputations as advocates of fiscal responsibility. In fact, with hardly any exceptions they lined up to praise Mr. Bush's proposals.
But the real demonstration that Mr. Rove understands American politics better than any pundit came after 9/11.
Every time I read a lament for the post-9/11 era of national unity, I wonder what people are talking about. On the issues I was watching, the Republicans' exploitation of the atrocity began while ground zero was still smoldering.
Mr. Rove has been much criticized for saying that liberals responded to the attack by wanting to offer the terrorists therapy - but what he said about conservatives, that they "saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war," is equally false. What many of them actually saw was a domestic political opportunity - and none more so than Mr. Rove.
A less insightful political strategist might have hesitated right after 9/11 before using it to cast the Democrats as weak on national security. After all, there were no facts to support that accusation.
But Mr. Rove understood that the facts were irrelevant. For one thing, he knew he could count on the administration's supporters to obediently accept a changing story line. Read the before-and-after columns by pro-administration pundits about Iraq: before the war they castigated the C.I.A. for understating the threat posed by Saddam's W.M.D.; after the war they castigated the C.I.A. for exaggerating the very same threat.
Mr. Rove also understands, better than anyone else in American politics, the power of smear tactics. Attacks on someone who contradicts the official line don't have to be true, or even plausible, to undermine that person's effectiveness. All they have to do is get a lot of media play, and they'll create the sense that there must be something wrong with the guy.
And now we know just how far he was willing to go with these smear tactics: as part of the effort to discredit Joseph Wilson IV, Mr. Rove leaked the fact that Mr. Wilson's wife worked for the C.I.A. I don't know whether Mr. Rove can be convicted of a crime, but there's no question that he damaged national security for partisan advantage. If a Democrat had done that, Republicans would call it treason.
But what we're getting, instead, is yet another impressive demonstration that these days, truth is political. One after another, prominent Republicans and conservative pundits have declared their allegiance to the party line. They haven't just gone along with the diversionary tactics, like the irrelevant questions about whether Mr. Rove used Valerie Wilson's name in identifying her (Robert Novak later identified her by her maiden name, Valerie Plame), or the false, easily refuted claim that Mr. Wilson lied about who sent him to Niger. They're now a chorus, praising Mr. Rove as a patriotic whistle-blower.
Ultimately, this isn't just about Mr. Rove. It's also about Mr. Bush, who has always known that his trusted political adviser - a disciple of the late Lee Atwater, whose smear tactics helped President Bush's father win the 1988 election - is a thug, and obviously made no attempt to find out if he was the leaker.
Most of all, it's about what has happened to America. How did our political system get to this point?

It's 50°F and sunny in Wisconsin, according to the local forecast. The cold days are almost done, and so too is the Republican primary. In the week leading up to Tuesday's nominating contest in the state, one of the few standing between Mitt Romney and ironclad inevitability, GOP leaders rallied to the former governor's banners. National figures like Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio signed on to the campaign, as did home-state heroes like Senator Ron Johnson and Representative Paul Ryan. Romney finally has the party at his back. But that support also puts a new kind of burden on his shoulders.
A hard-fought primary season has done Romney and his party few favors. According to a March survey conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, 56% of Americans hold a negative view of the Republican Party, compared with a 49% plurality who view Democrats favorably. Half of Americans say the GOP is the more extreme party, 15 points more than those who say the same of the Dems.
(PHOTOS: Political Pictures of the Week, March 24–30)
Despite President Obama's stewardship of a tepid recovery, rising gas prices and the passage of the controversial health-reform law that is currently before the Supreme Court, more trust his party on the economy, energy and health care than they do the Republicans. The GOP's signature issue in 2010 and 2011 — sounding the alarm on swelling deficits — is now a wash. Independents are evenly split on most of these issues but still rate Republicans as more extreme.
This kind of data helps explain why Romney is underwater with a 51% unfavorable rating and why uniting the party is a fraught exercise for him. As Romney secures the various factions of the GOP, he risks taking on its baggage too. And a spate of issues, national and local, threaten to distract from Romney's general-election message that Obama has mishandled the economy and therefore needs to go.
(MORE: Republican Primary End of Days Watch)
Nowhere is this more apparent than in Wisconsin, which for the past year has been the main front in the war between Republican lawmakers and labor unions. Swept into power in 2010, the GOP, led by Governor Scott Walker, enacted a deep-cutting budget that trimmed benefits and limited the bargaining capability of public workers. The measures sparked a massive backlash from Democrats and their union allies, who put in motion only the third recall vote of a governor in U.S. history.
Walker has not endorsed Romney or any other candidate in Tuesday's primary, perhaps to avoid alienating the Republican voters he desperately needs in his upcoming recall election. But when he faces the judgment of Wisconsinites on June 5, the general election will just be picking up. Romney, who has long supported Walker and his budget, will be dragged into the fight as his party's nominee.
Romney has attacked the United Auto Workers to defend his opposition to the 2009 Detroit bailout and has used labor issues to try to drive a wedge between conservatives and Rick Santorum, who played to Pennsylvania unions during his time in the Senate. But labor issues are probably something he'd rather leave behind for the general election. While Wisconsin might be divided, the national electorate is not. Collective-bargaining restrictions similar to those passed in Wisconsin were rolled back by a referendum last year in the key swing state of Ohio. And while many Americans harbor little love for labor unions, they oppose restricting the bargaining rights of public employees by a margin of roughly 2 to 1, according to a series of national polls conducted in the spring of 2011. Even then, most support lies in the Deep South, where Romney can count on conservative electorates to vote against Obama.
(PHOTOS: On the Trail with Romney: Photographs by Lauren Fleishman)
All that said, Walker probably isn't the Wisconsinite who will have the most profound effect on the Republican ticket this year; that distinction goes to Ryan, the House Budget Committee chairman and architect of the deep-cutting, entitlement-restructuring fiscal plans passed by the lower chamber for two years running, who endorsed Romney last week.
Throughout these budgets, Ryan has enshrined in legislation, if not law, Republicans' wishes to see government scaled back, taxes lowered, Medicaid sent to the states and Medicare voucherized. His plans have made the 42-year-old Congressman an object of reverence and adoration on the right. But they have also opened up the party and its nominee to Democratic attacks on scaling back entitlement programs, which remains unpopular among Democrats, independents and even most Republicans. Obama's political advisers already refer to this as the "Romney-Ryan plan" and are cutting video lumping the two men together.
In May of last year, Romney praised Ryan's budget without promising to make it part of his campaign platform. "I'm going to have my own plan," he said. But the past six months have made that distance difficult to maintain. In order to deep-six Newt Gingrich's candidacy, Romney criticized the former Speaker for briefly bad-mouthing Ryan's plan, driving Romney closer. When Romney unveiled his Medicare plan early this year, it borrowed heavily from Ryan's road map, raising the eligibility age for Medicare and offering coverage through vouchers for use in the private market, albeit with traditional Medicare still available. Ryan's new plan, constructed with the input of Democrat Ron Wyden and recently passed by the House, closely resembled Romney's, retaining traditional Medicare as an option.
Whatever the GOP offers up as part of its official platform in the fall, there's no question that it will be judged, both by Republicans and Democrats, with the Ryan plan as a baseline. And it's possible that Ryan could be on the ticket too. "If that bridge ever came," he said last week of the vice-presidential slot, "I'd consider it. In the meantime, I'm not dwelling on it."
Another Republican vice-presidential prospect, Virginia's popular and ambitious governor, Bob McDonnell, also illustrates the challenges for Romney in picking up the party's mantle. McDonnell's strong approval ratings took a hit this year after the legislature debated and passed a controversial law requiring women to receive an ultrasound and hear a description of their fetus before getting an abortion. The original version, which mandated an invasive vaginal ultrasound, was revised to strike that section of the law, but only after a national uproar over the measure pushed McDonnell to change course and request a revision. Nonetheless, a Quinnipiac University poll conducted in March found that the governor's approval rating among women dropped 15 points in just one month.
(MORE: Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell Golf-Claps President Obama)
Virginia is a vital state for Romney, but his challenge lies beyond the Old Dominion as well. Republican lawmakers in 20 states have passed mandatory ultrasound laws, and five more besides Virginia debated them this year. Americans have historically been split on whether abortion should be legal, but laws seeking to discourage women from seeking the service are not viewed the same way. Although a slim 52% majority opposed Virginia's ultrasound law in the Quinnipiac poll, 72% said the government should not try to persuade women not to have an abortion. In the national Pew survey, Democrats' largest lead on any single issue was the 16-point margin for which party "best represents your views on abortion."
Romney's record on the issue is mild — after all, he ran for governor of Massachusetts as a personally antiabortion but professionally pro-abortion-rights candidate before becoming a pro-life presidential prospect — but Republican legislatures in states like Virginia could do residual damage to him among women, especially single women, a group that is emerging as a crucial swing vote, as the candidate and party merge into one. After a winter that saw national debate over mandatory ultrasounds, birth control coverage and Planned Parenthood funding, a USA Today/Gallup poll released on Monday of a dozen battleground states found Obama opening up big leads as women shifted to his side.
Whether these issues plague Romney or not, the Republicans' best shot at the White House ultimately lies in making the election about Obama and his record in office: a referendum rather than a binary choice. And that's what Romney was working hard at over the weekend in Wisconsin. "President Obama believes in a government-centered society. He believes government guiding our lives will do a better job in doing so than individuals," he said on Saturday in Waukesha County. But outside another Romney event on the same day, protesters lined up with signs that read "Recall Walker" and "Keep Your Mitt(s) Off Birth Control."

India slammed archrival Pakistan yesterday over a firefight in the disputed territory of Kashmir in which two of its soldiers were killed and said the mutilation of one of the bodies was "inhuman."
According to India, Pakistani troops crossed the territory's heavily militarized Line of Control (LOC) and fired at one of its army patrols on Tuesday.
One of the two soldiers killed was decapitated by Pakistani troops, who then carried away his head, chief Indian military spokesman J. Dahiya told reporters yesterday.
"We can confirm that one of the Indian soldiers was beheaded by the Pakistani Army in Kashmir," Dahiya said. "It was a dastardly act as they have taken away the head."
Military sources had earlier indicated that the soldier had been decapitated, but Dahiya said he was only able to confirm the beheading after the victim's next of kin had been informed.
A Pakistan military official has denied that Pakistani troops fired on Indian troops or killed any Indian soldiers.
However, Dahiya rejected the Pakistani response.
"They seem to be in a state of denial," he said. "We are absolutely convinced Pakistan Army regulars were involved because it was a surgical strike with high-caliber weapons."
India also summoned Pakistan's envoy to New Delhi to protest over the alleged incident.
"[The] Pakistan Army's action is highly provocative," Indian Minister of Defense A.K. Antony told reporters in New Delhi shortly before Pakistani High Commissioner Salman Bashir was summoned to meet India's foreign secretary over the incident.
"The way they treated the dead body of the Indian soldier is inhuman. We will convey our protest to the Pakistan government," he said.
Firing and small skirmishes between the two countries are common along the 740km LOC despite a ceasefire and slowly improving bilateral ties. The Indian Army says eight of its soldiers were killed last year in 75 incidents.
However, incursions by troops from either side are rare and one Indian media report said that Tuesday's incident — about 600m from the de facto border — marked the "first major ingress" since the ceasefire was agreed in 2003.
Indian officials said cross-border fire broke out hours after the clash, but the LOC was quiet yesterday.
Pakistan has denied India's allegations, with a Pakistani Army spokesman describing them as "propaganda" aimed at diverting attention away from an Indian incursion two days earlier in which one Pakistani soldier was killed. India denies that its troops crossed over the line during last weekend's incident.
A Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs official dismissed the clash.
"These small issues have been going on for years — I don't think it will have much overall effect on the [peace] talks going on," said the official, who asked not to be named.
There was little coverage of the skirmish in Pakistani media, but a succession of commentators voiced fury on Indian television news channels and the main opposition party urged the government to expose Pakistan's actions to the international community.
"Pakistan can be named and shamed for this brutal attack," Bharatiya Janata Party leader Arun Jaitley told reporters.
India sees the entire Kashmir region as an integral part of its territory. Pakistan contests that and demands implementation of a 1948 UN Security Council resolution for a plebiscite to determine the wishes of Kashmiris.
