By comparing protests to terrorism, Walker affirms his perpetual victim status
Zach posted the video earlier of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker answering a question about how to deal with ISIS–without question, the single most dangerous regime on the face of the planet right now–by saying he managed to face down 100,000 protestors in Madison when he and the WisGOP pushed through Act 10 in 2011.
Walker said it this time at CPAC, the far right-wing's annual love-in and by far Walker's largest audience since he officially unofficially launched his 2016 presidential campaign, but he's been using the line for a while now, including notably in Iowa in January.
People all over the internet, left, right, center, whathaveyou, have already explained how every aspect of what Walker said was a bad answer to the question. For one, he never, ever actually faced down the protesters in any way, opting instead for the tunnels under the capitol and chili with Tonette on Idol night.
And for another, Walker's own spokesdroid walked back the sentiment moments after it was uttered, to reassure the kindergarten teachers of America that no, Scott Walker was not really saying that he believed they were as bad as an apocalyptic death cult.
I don't know why people haven't learned this already, though: Walker was not talking to the kindergarten teachers of America, or the foreign policy wonks who take the threat of ISIS seriously, or even to the person who asked the question on stage at CPAC.
He was talking to the the right-wing's most abundant class: perpetual victims. And he was saying to them: I'm one of you, so it's okay to make me your leader.
I've written about this before. Walker understands as well as, or better than, anyone about the power of narrative bias. And he tells the same story over and over and over and people eat it up and vote for him.
There's a reason why the signs all said "I Stand With Walker" and his effing book was called Unintimdated: He plays to conservative voters' deepest id, the personal narrative they all weave about how it is they who are truly the victims.
"'Those people' are mooching off my tax dollars." "'Those people' are taking my place at the law school." "'Those people' are taking the Bible out of schools and forcing me to say 'Happy Holidays.'" "'Those people' are making me join a union." "I was on food stamps and nobody helped me."
At CPAC, Walker wasn't even trying to say, as his spokesperson offered, that he knew how to stand strong in the face of adversity. He was trying to say, Look at me. I am a victim, too! Now make me your king.
There's not another candidate out there right now who can play that card the way Walker can, so believe me, every opportunity he has he will drop that sucker every chance he gets. For a man born to such privilege and so long living on a government paycheck, he is the biggest, whiniest victim there is–and the GOP primary voters are going to eat that schtick up.
UPDATED TO ADD: All the criticism Walker's taking on this is going to 1) let the statement get replayed over and over to reach more primary voters' ears and 2) let Walker keep playing the victim, now adding "lamestream media" to the list of people victimizing him today.

John Casper says:
Thanks folkbum.
Steve Carlson says:
I think this is a tad overthought, or maybe overwrought. Are you suggesting he does this deliberately to provoke ridicule, which perpetuates his victim status, which then increases support among his base/potential base? He, not Obama, is the 11 dimensional chess master?
Cat Kin says:
It's never about me, but this is the reason I have always looked down on street protests. Walker is simply reflecting a Joe American Schmo mood. He's good at it, as you know.
Erik says:
I've voted republican all my life. I've voted for Walker every election, but this is the dumbest statement I've heard him say!
Sarge says:
What a punk!! I displayed more character in 30 seconds by getting off the bus at MCRD San Diego than this Moron has ever even thought of. Very disgraceful comparison.
Jerry says:
I disagree. This wasn't one of his talking points. He was asked the ISIS question and he gave his same general answer how we need tough leadership but then he couldn't avoid his delusions of grandeur and had to paint himself as a tough guy. You are correct that he does repeatedly paint himself as a victim but in this case he came across as just plain stupid by comparing citizens who opposed his policies to terrorists. He is incapable of thinking on his feet and probably without ALEC he is incapable of thinking!
John says:
Walker made the same analogy over a week ago, this is part of his talking points.
DaveinUK says:
The beauty of this is, it has shown that Walker will clearly not survive the circular firing squad that is the GOP primary process. The person who is really happy about all this is Jeb Bush. Remember how back in 2000, His Brother started a whisper campaign that made GOP voters doubt the integrity and morals of John McCain, a decorated POW. You think Brother Jebby isn't willing to run ads saying Walker equates first responders, little old ladies and clergy with Islamic State terrorists? Count on it.
The recall election, and 2014 re-election wins have given Walker delusions of invincibility . Getting fox news addicts in Juneau County to vote for you is easy, being in the national spotlight is far less forgiving. As Walker is finding out. No amount of Koch Brothers money is going to be able to save Walker's candidacy.
mal says:
Do you think an all-but-announced candidate declaring 100,000s of Wisconsinites to be akin to ISIS morally disqualifies Scott Walker from the presidency of the United States.
The clarifications offered by Walker and later Walker's flack are unconvincing. Vis: "Let me be perfectly clear: I'm just pointing out the closest thing I have to handling this difficult situation is the 100,000 protesters I had to deal with," Walker told reporters. Asked if he regretted the statement, he said, "No." http://host.madison.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/scott-walker-tells-cpac-that-facing-protesters-prepares-him-for/article_c3560052-ca4a-5283-8df6-367cb61f0510.html#ixzz3SxBWvKe4
(DeFour, Wisconsin State Journal)
Not even Joe McCarthy ever compared Wisconsin citizens to terrorists beheading people.
Jerry says:
The more he is exposed as not very bright and super paranoid that everyone is out to get him and he continues to step on his tongue…..the Koch brothers will decide not to run him and they will use him as an attack dog and a cheerleader for their conservative causes and policies in trying to gain control of more state governments. The sinking economy and dwindling wages in Wisconsin will begin to hit home with Wisconsinites and Walker's lap dog legislators might find themselves in trouble as 2016 approaches and they might be tempted to through Walker under the bus or at least abandon him.
Beto says:
Good work Jay. This victim narrative is boilerplate PR for that side. Here I go weaving Charlie Sykes into this, but on your idea of the victim narrative, a former station-mate of Charlie's named Dan Shelley spelled out that this was a deliberate, sustained claim that Sykes made on air. He was broadcasting "behind the lines", as Sykes said. Also, Walker is deploying the Karl Rove tactic of turning a weakness into a positive. I've never understood how a supposed leader who provokes the biggest protest in state history can be seen as anything but a failed leader. Only now that frail talking point is breaking down as it moves beyond the warm, swaddling Wisconsin media.
Duane12 says:
"Jihadi Scotty" He's killing us…economically!
Riff Rafferty says:
Walker has all you Demorats and mini-mice scurrying in and out of your rat holes to find more cheese to eat. Keep up with the free pr, boys. Are you looking forward to Rebecca Kleefisch as Wisconsin's first woman governor?
John Casper says:
Riff, will eight (8) years be enough for Gov. Walker to meet his "campaign promise," of 250,000 new jobs? http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/promises/walk-o-meter/promise/526/create-250000-new-jobs/
nonquixote says:
If WI citizens protesting Act 10 was the most difficult situation he faced, seems his mom might strike more fear in the hearts of those foreign terrorists if they knew about the second most difficult situation he ever faced, and also denied and ran and hid from.
Bernadette reports that at this point Scott began denying that he was the father of the baby, and when Ruth said she was considering an abortion, he claimed he didn't care, as he wasn't the father anyway.
Bernadette remembers being present when Ruth was dealing with the wrath of Scott's mother, who allegedly admonished Ruth for trying to "ruin [her son's] reputation."
folkbum says:
That story is false–debunked over and over. Scott Walker never fathered a child out of wedlock. Period. Stop repeating it.
nonquixote says:
My sincerest apology, I had missed seeing the definitive.
EmmaR says:
Where is it de-bunked? I'd like to read it just so I can judge for myself in the same way Wisconsin Republicans made sure we all read and judged for ourselves about the supposed Burke firing and afterward we learned the source was actually, not much of a source.
folkbum says:
For example, here.
EmmaR says:
Thank you. So Bice was involved. Wonder why he didn't print it one day and then post a consider the source-type walk-back the next after all the TV stations and newspapers state-wide went with it? The Journal Sentinel and Republicans crossed a rubicon in the last election so it really fits the new normal for BB to continue to run with the story and let folks decide for themselves. Seems only fair.
folkbum says:
I don't claim to speak for the management here–I'm just a cranky keyboard monkey grateful the management offers me an outlet at all–but this is my thread and I don't play that bullshit. If it's false, it doesn't fly.
EmmaR says:
Oh, I get where you're coming from. Too bad Bice and the Journal Sentinel share your standards only selectively.

TSU Track Set to Host Boston-Moon Relays on Saturday
Nashville, Tenn. – After spending the first month of the outdoor season on the road, the Tennessee State track and field teams will return home on Saturday for the Boston-Moon Relays.
Last weekend, the team was at the University of Florida for the Pepsi Relays and experienced good results, especially from Ashontae Jackson.
Jackson, a sophomore from Gordonville, Va., placed third in the women's long jump with a career-best leap of 6.14 meters. She also had a better final than some of the best jumpers in the nation from schools such as Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Florida and Florida State.
Jackson's jump is longer than any other in the OVC this season by .24 meters.
Another bright spot for TSU over the weekend was the Flying Tigers' performance in the 4x100. The team of Tyler Anderson, Royce Dates, Jordan Green and Michael Johnson had a top-25 finish in the event with a final time of 42.03 seconds.
The team of Flying Tigers' run is the second fastest relay time in the conference so far this year.
On Saturday, TSU will host nine other universities including schools from around the area such as Lipscomb and Vanderbilt along with 23 high schools from the state.
The meet begins at 9 a.m. with the hammer toss and continues with the running events starting at 9:30 a.m. The meet will conclude with the thrilling 4x400 meter relays at approximately 4 p.m.

Remember the voting machines in West Virginia that just couldn't bring themselves to let people vote Obama? Jackson County Clerk Jeff Waybright, who "hates stories like this" was good enough to show Video the Vote how a mis-calibrated voting machine would take a vote for Obama (or anyone) and turn it into a vote for another candidate—and not necessarily John McCain, either, though that's what would happen if you picked a straight Democratic ticket. So yeah, this could definitely happen to you.
Waybright actually seems like a really stand-up guy on people being able to vote the way they want, and details some of the measures they're taking to make sure that happens. The machines have confirmation screens, and they'll have techs at the polling places, just in case problems do pop up. It looks like an easy enough fix too—the same machine, when properly calibrated, should work just fine. So just be sure to double check your vote on Tuesday, wherever and however you're voting.

To add a little more zip, use a small amount of horseradish, to your taste, and it will suprise you. Velveeta isn't close to a cheese product...look at the ingredients on the box. Canned cheese isn't any better. Put your heart into it and make a true cheese fondue. It is worth the efffort.
Jun 10, 2012
I made it by the recipe 1st time. Second time, I used half cheddar and half velvetta. Then I added 8 ounces of crab meat. Oh yeah--this was totally awesome.
Nov 14, 2011
This had a really nice flavor but at the end I ended up adding some hot sauce for an extra kick. The cheddar is hard to deal with because even after you melt it smooth, as soon as the dip begins to cool a little it separates again. The beer flavor was a bit strong but overall it was a very good dip! Next time I might try it with half beer and half chicken broth...

Yum! We made it in our Oster Fondue Pot and dipped cooked stew meat, carrots, celery, & apples in it. We were out of ground mustard so we substituted 1-1/2 tbsp prepared mustard.~ Theresa

ST. PAUL -- Minnesota students would be guaranteed school lunches if senators agree with a House vote.
By 130-0, representatives Thursday approved pumping $3.5 million into the school lunch program.
The action came after a February report showed some school districts refused to provide food for students who forgot their lunch money or could not afford to pay. Some reports indicated meals students already had picked up were thrown in the trash.
"No child should go through any shame, worry or embarrassment as they make their way through the lunch line in any school," Rep. Yvonne Selcer, D-Minnetonka, said about her bill.
The federal government pays most costs of school lunches and other meals and the state pays 12.5 cents. That leaves 40 cents for students to pay, but not all families can afford it.
Some school districts may absorb the 40 cents, while others refuse to feed students if they can't pay. Selcer's bill pays that 40-cent difference.
"This is a great opportunity, members, to make a statement that no child should go hungry in a Minnesota school," she told fellow representatives.
Rep. Glenn Gruenhagen, R-Glencoe, said he would prefer that rather than the state paying for lunches that individuals should receive tax breaks for donating to food service programs. Gruenhagen said he fears the state could mismanage the money.
The bill now goes to the Senate.

CAIRO - When British diplomats abandoned their offices in Benghazi over the summer after the British ambassador's motorcade was attacked with rocket-propelled grenades, their security detail left its weapons and vehicles in the custody of the U.S. consulate in that eastern Libyan city.
Now that cache of weapons is missing amid signs that the Islamist militants suspected in the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. consulate and a nearby annex remain active, despite Libyan government demands that they disband.
The June 11 attack on British Ambassador Sir Dominic Asquith as he drove through Benghazi is among a list of 230 security incidents, 48 in Benghazi alone, that U.S. officials compiled to show how dangerous Libya had become. Two of Asquith's security guards were wounded in the attack. In contrast to the Americans, who remained in Benghazi, the British determined that the city was too dangerous and closed their offices.
Before withdrawing, however, British officials reached an agreement with the U.S. consulate to leave their weapons and vehicles at the poorly guarded U.S. compound.
"We are working with the U.S. to establish what, if anything, has happened to this equipment," British news agencies quoted an unnamed Foreign Office spokesman as saying.
The issue of the missing weapons and vehicles came to light during testimony Wednesday at a congressional hearing in Washington, where Lt. Col. Andrew Wood of the Utah National Guard, who headed a 16-member U.S. military security force in Libya, revealed that the British would return periodically to Benghazi and reclaim the weapons, then give them back to the Americans when they left the city again.
Wood added that he had expected an attack to come sooner or later. "I almost expected the attack to come," he said. "We were the last flag flying. It was a matter of time. The security in Benghazi was a struggle and remained a struggle throughout my time there."
On Friday, U.S. officials said they still were working to determine what precisely had taken place during the assault on the consulate building. U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and State Department computer specialist Sean Smith died of smoke inhalation after the building was set on fire.
Two other Americans, former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Wood, died at an embassy annex a few blocks away when it came under attack from mortar and rifle fire. The annex was believed to house the local offices of the CIA.

Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell on Thursday predicted a seamless transition for Gov.-elect Terry McAuliffe, citing the Democrat's business experience and his willingness to work with Republicans.
McDonnell and McAuliffe met with reporters in the Executive Mansion after lunch in their first public appearance together since McAuliffe's narrow win Tuesday over Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. McAuliffe takes office in January.
"This is going to be a very smooth, orderly transition of power," McDonnell said. "The campaign's over. It's time to govern. Terry wants to do it. He's going to be a serious, policy-oriented governor."
First Read — DMV
A place for insight, analysis and exclusives on the people who shape politics in the District, Maryland and Virginia.
McAuliffe, who noted that McDonnell was one of the first to congratulate him on election night, said while he is sure to have disagreements with a Republican-dominated House of Delegates and an evenly divided Senate, he is confident he will find common ground with the members of the General Assembly. He cited McDonnell's bipartisan success on a landmark transportation package, for instance.
"Maybe I am the ultimate optimist, but the issues that I want to focus on -- job creation and diversifying our economy -- I have to assume everybody, no matter where you are from in the commonwealth of Virginia, these are issues we'll come together on and work on," he said. "That is my main focus."
One of the biggest policy changes with a McAuliffe administration will involve an expansion of Medicaid in Virginia. McAuliffe supports the expansion.
The General Assembly, however, established a commission earlier this year to monitor implementation of cost-saving reforms as a condition for expanding the program to an additional 400,000 uninsured low-income residents under the federal health care reform law. McDonnell has sought "dramatic reforms" before expanding Medicaid, which accounts for a large chunk of the state budget.
"His views on that will drive the day," McDonnell said of his successor. "I know Gov. McAuliffe will have a very different view."
McAuliffe said he agreed with reforms.
"We need to deliver our health care more efficiently," he said. "I want consensus. We got to do this in a bipartisan way. I'm optimistic, at the end of the day, we'll all be very close."
McDonnell said their lunch-hour meeting didn't get into the weeds and instead turned to broader approaches to governing. He has made his key policy people and department and agency heads available to McAuliffe's transition team to smooth the shift in administrations.
McAuliffe, who once led the Democratic National Committee and is a confidant to former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton, was effusive in his praise of the incumbent and his counsel. At one point, he pulled out a small notebook in which he recorded McDonnell's advice.
McDonnell said, "I want him to have the best possible start so when he hits that desk on Jan. 11, he's fully briefed on the budget and can make amendments that he sees fit at any time."
McAuliffe praised McDonnell for his graciousness and cooperation. "I just have to say this: Bob McDonnell is a class act," he said.
While their politics are at opposite sides of the spectrum, McDonnell noted one big shared experience: Both are Irish Catholics with five children.
First lady Maureen McDonnell was to welcome McAuliffe's wife, Dorothy, to the Executive Mansion later Thursday.

Studies revive debate over 'chemo brain'
- About 20% of cancer survivors experience chemo brain long after end of therapy
Two new studies are reviving debate over the causes of "chemo brain," a mental fog that affects up to 75% of cancer survivors.
Cancer patients for decades have complained of feeling forgetful or mentally fuzzy, with many blaming toxic chemotherapy regimens. While the problem feels very real to patients, some doctors have dismissed the issue as imaginary.
Now, new research shows evidence of mental fog in women's brain scans.
A study presented last week at a meeting of the Radiological Society of North America found that chemo can cause brain changes that affect memory and concentration.
Researchers studied 128 breast cancer patients who complained of chemo brain, scanning their brains both before and after treatment, according to the study, presented by Rachel Lagos, a radiology resident at the West Virginia University School of Medicine.
Researchers used tests called PET/CT scans, or positron emission tomography, which captures brain activity by measuring how quickly it uses energy. CT scans, or computed tomography, use multiple X-rays to provide detailed pictures.
Lagos and her colleagues found declines in brain activity in areas involved with long-term memory, as well as problem solving, organizing and prioritizing. "Every single person showed change," Lagos says.
About 20% of cancer survivors complain of persistent memory problems, long after treatment ends, according to the National Cancer Institute. Patients with demanding professional jobs are more likely than others to complain of memory problems.
Scientists so far don't know for sure what might cause these symptoms.
Doctors such as Patricia Ganz, of UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, are studying the role of inflammation both in chemo brain and cancer-related fatigue. Her research has found that many women who complain of mental fog also suffer fatigue, depression and sleep problems.
A study by Tim Ahles, of New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, suggested that women may be more susceptible to chemo brain if they carry a form of a gene linked to Alzheimer's disease. It's also possible that memory problems and cancer have common risk factors, giving patients a greater chance of both.
Reaction to Lagos' study among breast cancers survivors has been dramatic. She received 800 e-mails from cancer survivors within a day of presenting her findings. Many were relieved that a doctor had confirmed their symptoms were real, Lagos says.
"People I'd never met where sharing their experiences. It was heartbreaking," Lagos says. For patients, being told that their symptoms aren't real "can be even worse than getting the diagnosis in the first place, because people think, 'Oh, I'm crazy.'"
A small study presented today at the annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, however, suggests that chemo may not be to blame for the women's memory impairments.
That's because women who complained of chemo brain had lower scores on memory tests even before treatment, says researcher Bernadine Cimprich, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing. Her study of 99 people used functional MRIs, or magnetic resonance imaging. Women diagnosed with cancer scored worse than healthy women in a comparison group, both before and after patients' treatment.
Her findings are consistent with earlier studies, which have found that 20% to 30% of patients have lower-than-expected scores, even before chemo.
Women who underwent chemo reported more fatigue than other women, even before receiving the drugs, Cimprich say. The more exhausted women felt, the worse their scores.
That suggests that at least some of the women's memory problems could have been caused by the stress and sleeplessness of being diagnosed with cancer, Cimprich says.
Studies show that other cancer therapies, such as a hormonal drug called tamoxifen, also can cause fatigue, according to the NCI.
Early menopause, which can be caused by chemotherapy or surgery to remove the ovaries, also can cause memory problems, says oncologist Claudine Isaacs, of Georgetown's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. Hot flashes caused by medications or early menopause can make women lose sleep, affecting their memory.
Cancer centers might be able to relieve women's symptoms by offering more psychological support, Cimprich says, as well as cognitive behavior therapy and mindfulness activities, which can include meditation. Exercise also has been shown to relieve fatigue and give people more energy.
Lagos says women can also cope with their mental fog by making lists and plans. For example, women in an earlier study felt overwhelmed by the task of organizing and cooking a meal.
But the same women were able to function much better after researchers gave them written menus, which helped the women focus their grocery shopping and meal preparation, Lagos say.
"It's critically important to understand the side effects of therapy and minimize them," Isaacs says. "We don't want women to say no to very important therapy because of this."

Seffner, Florida
Mike didn't get everything finished up Friday as he had hoped. He was replacing the gaskets on both air conditioner units. He found what he called a design flaw on the condensation drain. I guess ours was one of the first years that they drained the condensation down underneath the coach, rather than on the roof to run down the sides. He had to re-design the drain system a little bit. To replace the gaskets the entire a/c units had to be removed.
The other big project he was working on was the living room slide gasket. He had to figure out what was causing it to tear and find a solution. He did, and feels comfortable we won't have that problem again. We trust Mike, so we feel pretty good about it too.
Anyway he got it finished up after lunch on Saturday. Yea….we are getting out of here!
Lazy Days fills up your fuel and propane before you leave, so once he finished, Mike called for a lot attendant to take it to Flying J for the fuel. A very nice guy named Martin came, and I rode along with him. After he filled the tank, he noticed the fuel gauge didn't got past the 3/4 mark. We watched it a few minutes to make sure it wasn't still going up. It didn't. Martin suggested we get it back over to the chassis department (not with Mike) and have it looked at before we left. He was nice enough to contact someone to make arrangements to take it to "Chassis." I again was impressed with the good customer service. After all, he is "just" a lot attendant, but he went out of his way to get us taken care of. His job is to drive motor homes where they are needed. He could have just left it with me to deal with, but he didn't. It was picked up shortly and delivered to Chassis. Al and I were depressed, and were starting to wonder if this motor home is jinxed!
While we were sitting in the motorhome waiting to talk to a tech, Mike saw us sitting there and came in to see what was going on. After all, he just released it back to us an hour ago and thought all was okay. We explained the fuel gauge issue and he said it was likely an easy fix, that might just require a tweak of the sending unit. That sure made us feel better…and I guess he was right because shortly after that, the motorhome was brought back with the fuel gauge reading correctly.
Could it be? Could we finally be ready to leave?? We decided to spend the night in the delivery site, because it was late afternoon.
So…….we are sitting at the deliver site and could go today if we want to. However, we still have to get the cats out of the old motor home, and clean it up (again), and prepare this one for travel (again). We are both tired and don't have the enthusiasm needed for moving today. Our fresh water tank is nearly full, and the gray and black tanks are nearly empty. We have free wifi, and 50 amp electric service. We probably won't leave until tomorrow. We have decided to go back to the Lazy Days Campground for nights. One reason is that we have 2 free nights there, and the other is Al needs to make sure the toad hooks up correctly and is at the right height. We haven't had the opportunity to set up the truck behind the motor home and hook it up to check the lights and everything. We figure we can go on a test drive down the interstate then to the campground and practice backing into campsites using the lessons we learned from our driving class. Even though Al drove the motor home a few times on a test drive, it is now ours, and he is a bit intimidated by it. I am completely intimidated by it. We feel the campground will give us a good un-crowded place to practice our skills.
The weather here in central Florida has finally caught up with most of the rest of the country. It has been warm, but not unbearable….until this week. It's been mid 90's and very humid. The overnight temps aren't' going down below the upper 70's.

This has been a tough time for me, losing great friends like Steve Covey, Zig Ziglar, and now my friend and mentor, Paul Hersey.
I met Paul in 1966 when I worked at Ohio University as the assistant to the Dean of the College of Business, Harry Evarts. It was my first job out of my doctoral program. Paul was chairman of the Management department. The reason I took an administrative job was because all of my professors had told me if I wanted to work at a university, I should be an administrator since I couldn't write. They thought it would be hard for me to be a professor due to the well-known adage "If you don't publish, you perish."
When I got to campus, though, Dean Evarts told me he wanted me to teach a course like all the rest of his assistants had done. I had never thought about teaching. He put me in Paul Hersey's department and Paul gave me a basic management course to teach. After a couple of weeks of teaching, I came home and told my wife Margie, "This is what I ought to be doing. This is great. I should be a teacher."
She said, "What about the writing?"
I said, "I don't know. I'll have to work something out."
I had heard that Paul taught a fabulous course on leadership, so in December 1966 I went up to him in the hall and told him I'd love to sit in on his class the following semester.
He said to me, "Nobody audits my course. If you want to take it for credit, you're welcome to do that." Then he walked away.
I thought, That's really something. I've got a Ph.D. and he doesn't, and he wants me to take his course! So I went home and told Margie about it.
She said, "Is he any good?"
I said, "He's supposed to be fabulous."
She said, "Then get your ego out of the way and take his course!"
I had to convince the registrar to let me into the course, since I already had a Ph.D. So I took the course and wrote the papers.
In June 1967, after the course was over, Paul came into my office and said, "Ken, I've been teaching leadership for ten years and I think I'm better than anybody. But I can't write. I'm a nervous wreck because they want me to write a textbook. I've been looking for a good writer like you to write it with me. Would you do it?"
I laughed and said, "We ought to be some team. You say you can't write and I've been told I'm not able to. Let's do it!"
So Paul and I sat down and wrote Management of Organizational Behavior: Utilizing Human Resources. It recently came out in its 10th edition and it sells more today than it ever has. It's been a wonderful legacy for both of us.
That was my start as a writer. If it weren't for Paul Hersey, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing today. I owe so much to him. That book introduced Situational Leadership®, a leadership model that has been taught to hundreds of thousands of students since its inception. Even though The Ken Blanchard Companies now teaches Situational Leadership® II while Paul's company, Center for Leadership Studies, has held on to the original Situational Leadership® model, we really have been "co-petitors" instead of competitors through the years because we valued each other and the way we thought.
I'm so fortunate that Paul Hersey came into my life. I'll miss him.

Okay folks, I know you think the C-Span Channel that broadcasts all those Congressional hearings is boring, but, really, you should have been around to watch the Senate Finance Committee's hearing Wednesday on the Affordable Health Care Insurance Oversight.
Folks, you haven't seen so many faces of misery since you watched Les Miserables for three and a half hours...and they were all Democrats. And one of them, Senator Max Baucus, was the primary sponsor of Obamacare in the Senate!
Now, try to follow me here because this gets pretty complicated. (It seems that Nancy Pelosi was right; you have to pass Obamacare to find out what's in it...and the Democrats are now learning what the Republicans warned them about. It's an unworkable mess that is throwing millions of Americans off the health care rolls!)
Okay, apparently, tens of thousands of American employers began throwing workers off their health care plans and opting to pay the much lower federal fine for not offering health care for their workers. Thousands more are even now converting their full time workers to part time workers by limiting working hours per week to less than 30, in compliance with Obamacare rules. (Remember when Paul Ryan and the Republicans predicted employers would do this? Remember when Democrats were warned that employers would move to save operating expenses by moving their entire work force into federal healthcare exchanges?)
Now, these workers who have lost their health care benefits are busy trying to sign up for state health care exchanges. (There are internet sites available if your state has agreed to sign up to Obamacare).
However, when these American workers, soon to be without employee provided health care, go to the Health Exchange to sign up, they are finding they are not qualified! It seems that during the signup process, applicants are required to fill in various income and benefit data, which then flows over to IRS computers who then are to spit out what your premium costs will be and how much federal tax credits you'll receive in order to receive subsidies to help you afford health care premiums that are as much as 30% more than you were paying under your employers plan!
Big Problem! The IRS is only allowing somewhere around 9% subsidy support for Obamacare Health care Exchange premiums that are priced so much higher than the worker was paying under his employer plan! (Surprise, Surprise! Remember Republicans warning that forcing working Americans to pay for the 30 million tit suckers who pay nothing for their health care under Medicaid would drive the premiums of working Americans higher?)
Second Big Problem! The IRS computers won't mate up with the Health Care Exchange computers because the IRS computer system is obsolete! So when workers try to sign up for Obamacare the IRS and the Health Exchanges are telling applicants to go to hell!
And so fireworks really broke out at the Finance Committee hearings on Obamacare yesterday afternoon. Senator Max Baucus, (Dem), said.."how could this happen? I'm hearing from my constituents that they and their families have been left out in the cold and are without health care because the Exchanges are not accepting them!". Quote from Senator Bill Nelson, (Dem), Florida "my constituents are not going to be happy to hear this administration failed to implement the necessary changes to accommodate health care applicants...someone has to pay for this!" Similar outrage was professed by Senator Ron Wyden (Dem) from Oregon.
Sadly, Obama Program Director for the Health care Affordability Act was on hand to lend testimony. All he could seem to do was sympathize with his Democratic buddies, saying that maybe the problems could be ironed out by the end of 2014 but could offer no ideas about how that could be done.
An Update! This morning a Harvard economics professor came on CNBC and announced that, according to a federal study his group just completed, the Health and Human Services Secretary is going to be forced to come back to this same committee, hat in hand, and request $700 billion dollars more be allocated to Obamacare just to pay for those automatically covered under current federal programs.
Also, sadly, the Wall Street Journal reported that, in addition to the 30 million Americans not currently covered under Obamacare, we can expect tens of millions more who will be left in the "no health care Twilight Zone"; those who were doing just fine with their employee health care plan until Obamacare was implemented this year. And many of those who were working 40 hour weeks will find themselves deemed "part time employees" working less than 30 hours per week and unable to afford Obama's premiums even if they could get through the application process.
And, as usual, while the working poor, and the rapidly declining middle class will be out in the cold without any health care, the Medicaid/Welfare tit-suckers have no worry. They are covered by that $700 billion dollar pot of gold Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services will be demanding from Congress soon!
Sad. Damned Sad.

My Neighbor, My Husband, and I
My Husband, My Neighbor, and I
It all started with the simple flirting on the instant messenger. And even in the beginning it was nothing. But I couldn't help but noticing the feelings I was starting to develop for my neighbor, Joe. He had the killer body, so fit and extremely good looking. Needless to say, I upped the flirting scale to see if maybe he was starting to feel the same way. I was a little nervous but I really wanted to know. I eventually started to talk to my husband about having my neighbor over and experiment, because I didn't really want to have an affair since my husband, Mike, has always been able to provide for my needs. However, the curiosity of Joe really had me wondering. My husband said he wouldn't mind sharing a night with my neighbor, and if Joe's wife wanted to, we could really share the night and bond our friendship with both of them, although already knowing from my flirting sessions with Joe, he wasn't going to even discuss this with his wife in fear she would leave him. Of course I was a little scared to think of two men in my bed and what I was to do since I have never done anything like that before.
OK so the story goes….. One night, my husband, Joe, and I were in the hot tub. We were drinking, and I thought for sure, if I made a few comments like, "lets get naked," the men would not hesitate. However, much to my surprise and disappointment. Neither one of them would. Then, the night ended when Joe decided to go home. Man, I was upset because Joe's wife was out of town, and there was no way we could have been caught. The next day I shared with Joe that I was upset and that Mike would have been OK with him staying and joining us in the bedroom. I think Joe may have actually been disappointed he didn't stay, but scared because he has never like me had an affair before and wasn't sure how far he wanted to go. Well, a week later or so, Joe and his wife (Kathy) came over and played a few simple games with us. Kathy decided she was pretty tired, and decided to leave. Again with disappointmet, Joe walked home with Kathy. I told my husband as we stood in the kitchen when they left, that I was really wanting Joe to stay and join us for a night of fun. As I was going to shut down the lights and close the front door, in walked my neighbor, Joe, hot as ever. I couldn't help but smile and look at my husband with a look of excitement. Why did he come back I thought. Did he want what I wanted? And how do I find out? So I started saying that the men had on too many clothes. They told me to take my shirt off and then they would remove some clothing as well. So I did. Within minutes and finishing some more wine, the three of us were walking upstairs to my bedroom. I was so scared, but the excitement was making me wet and ready. First, my husband finished undressing me as m neighbor watched hungrily. I started to finish undressing Joe and my husband caressed my breasts and Joe kissed me for the first time. The fear I had was overcome with excitement. I was with my husband's love muscle in my mouth and my neighbor's hard large cock in my hand stroking him and wanting more. I think he did too. Next thing I know I am so wet and horny. Mike sucking my breasts, and Joe eating my love juices. Oh it felt so good, and I love being center of attention. I couldn't take it anymore, and seeing Joe and smelling his cologne, just made me want him inside me. Looking at my husband, he gave me the look of approval. I couldn't help it, my pussy was wet, tingling and ready to receive him.. I rolled Joe over, and straddled myself on top of him. I felt him position himself to my opening and enter me. Oh my god I thought, he felt sooooooooooooo good. I didn't want him to stop. As I started to feel an orgasm reach within minutes, I realized my husband watching with pure excitement and knowing from my look I was ready to cum. I road my neighbor to climax, I turned to my husband feeling I should reward him for waiting. As he drove his cock in me I felt pleasure and realized I was really turned on by all the attention. I don't remember ever even allowing myself to feel this kind of pleasure before. I had sex six times that night, four of which were with my neighbor… and I can't wait to do it again. And maybe soon my wish will come true, just thinking about it makes me wet and horny.

Affected person Care Technicians (PCTs) are answerable for carrying out the very basic of patient care in medical services. These packages are fairly completely different from those who provide CNA training or CNA certification on the internet. If the CNAs have free time and aren't so busy, they'll additionally help the hospital workers with storing and moving medical supplies, setting up medical equipment, and helping with some other procedures.
Malthus' concept had nice affect on both Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace, who are the co-founders of the trendy evolutionary theory.

are necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web codificada y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 18 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
I have run a4.no for many years with same design, and I want to upgrade it. It is not mandatory to replace the logo, I would rather keep it, but you migth improve it. It says A4 Startsiden (means something like A4 StartPage or A4 Portal). It only contains quality checked links (or are supposed to at least) to Norwegian websites. 3 htmlpages needed, but just submit one screenshot for now, you can design and code the rest of the pages later if you win.
A4 Startsiden
Desired Color Scheme:
white, maybe some blue
Accepted File Formats:
html, psd, css
Please see my other contest if you want something simplier.
I created A4 to be a simple page to find Links in a very traditional (or A4) way. A4 can translate to traditional/conservative here in Norway. The logo used to be a A4 format page in background
I like white and instead use colors around to ligthen the page up. 3 different colors max on the entire website. There should be place for Google Ads somewhere. Searchengine should be central on the page. Maybe add a latest links a bit down on the page with a line or two with description, under my most popular categories. You can ignore news (VG to the rigth), maybe Google ad instead there?
Just suprise me :) You may remove or add anything, but I prefer to have at least the elements on that page in some way: static header/footer/menu that is contant/the same on the three pages, the alphabeth selector, category list, most popular categories (the one under Yahoo! style categories), the search engine and latest on television now. Also a linked title bar.
Pages I like:
http://www.overstock.com/ (at leasth the header, the whiteness)
http://www.startsiden.no (just to show a competitor, the largest startpage in Norway, I´m not to found of the design really)
http://www.sol.no (another large startpage/portal in Norway)
PS: Prefer coders that can make xhtml strict (and use css instead of tables) like http://www.scriptsindex.com. I do not want html tables or global css style that will destroy any custom bulleting board and similar.
Three pages: Frontpage, listing (http://www.a4.no/Helse_og_samliv/Fa…/index.php) and the top 10 pages based on rating and votes (http://www.a4.no/karakter/). Same header, footer and menu on all the three pages, simliar to how it is now.

First let me say I am very honored that Robyn asked me to be a guest blogger for her while she's re-cooping from her surgery, can't wait to dig right in and get started and I'm so glad to hear she's doing ok!
I'm Melissa from My Cottage Charm and I've been married to my high school sweetheart for 25 wonderful years. We have three beautiful boys that bring us joy everyday and make our lives VERY interesting, to say the least. :) I love to blog and have made so many amazing friends in such a short period of time. (and Robyn is at the top of the list!) My blog is all about bringing the passion for decorating into reality by using inexpensive ideas and LOTS of paint to achieve the look and feel you LOVE. (occasionally I do gush about my children and hubs, or give you a new recipe, I'm just like that!) :-) Here are a few things you can find on my blog:
You're more than welcome to come visit me anytime!
Now lets get to the makeover!
My mom was going to throw away this old vintage window and asked me if I had any use for it.....
As you can see, it was in REALLY poor condition, but I decided to take on the job and make something great out of it! It had quite a bit of rotted wood and issues around the panes of glass, even some missing panes. First I cleaned out all the rotted wood areas and filled it with wood putty. I let it dry and sanded it down smooth. I removed the broken panes of glass and had some new panes cut. I cleaned out all the old putty and put in the new pieces of glass with glazing points. (those are little pointy pieces of metal that hold the new glass in place...easily picked up at Lowes or any hardware store) I used some window putty to hold the new panes in place. You just roll out a piece like a snake and put it around the panes of glass and use a putty knife, at an angle, to remove the rest. (maybe you'll be blessed to find an old window with all the glass and you can skip all those steps!)
I decided I wanted to be able to hang coats along the top edge, so I purchased some glass door knobs. I actually found these at Walmart....they were supposed to be used to change out existing door knobs, but I had other ideas for them! (you could use vintage ones if you have them) To attach them to the window, I used wood dowels the same size as the holes in the back, and then drilled that same size hole in the window and then glued the dowels in.......like this.....
After I got it all cleaned up etc, I gave it a good coat of crisp white paint! AND THEN...this is what I used it for!
I printed out my pictures in black and white and backed them with some black art paper, just so you don't see the wall color behind it. You could have your pictures printed to the exact size of the panes, but my panes were bigger than what my printer would print out, so I just backed them with the paper to make it easier. I just love how it turned out! I have it hanging in my foyer and have a shelf underneath it with hooks. I decided to use those hooks for coats and use the glass door knobs for something pretty. I chose pretty over practicality.....surprise, surprise! :) I still have one pane of glass to fill with a picture....I just can't seem to figure out which one I want, but it'll get there eventually!
I hope you've enjoyed looking over my window makeover, I know I've enjoyed putting this post together for you. Again, I would like to thank Robyn for letting me visit with all you guys today and I hope she's recovering nicely and resting at home!
Love ya Robyn!

Activision Blizzard has sent around a quick blast of news detailing its second quarter financial results. The short of it is that the company is doing well. The expected huge franchises continuing to perform well, with big-name games still on the way. Then the bad news: StarCraft 2 won't make it this year.
"As we prepare for next year, we have moved the expected release dates for two games, Activision Publishing's Singularity and Blizzard Entertainment's StarCraft II, into 2010," Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick stated. "However, we are increasing our calendar year earnings-per-share GAAP outlook and reaffirming our calendar year earnings-per-share non-GAAP outlook and still expect to deliver record non-GAAP operating margins." In other words, the company expects the games it will be releasing in the coming months to see it through. StarCraft 2 will be released in the first half of the year, to coincide with the re-launch of the new and improved Battle.net, a process that's proving rockier than first anticipated.
The announcement goes on to crow about the success of Guitar Hero, the movie tie-ins for Wolverine and Transformers, and the expected success of Modern Warfare 2. If you ask me, that's like someone telling you your parents died, but you still get a cookie. It's not that this is shocking news, it's just a bummer to have it confirmed.
