If you've followed along with our 409 build (June, July '07), you've seen a forgotten W-motor get a new lease on life. The engine's mysterious past and flawless short-block encouraged us to retain the rotating assembly, and update the top end of the engine, as well as the valvetrain. So far, the progress has been smooth and steady, with few hiccups along the way.
Without question, a 409 engine build has some peculiar details, and we hope we've covered most of them in parts 1 and 2 to prevent any hard times if you plan to tackle a similar project. This month, we're putting the finishing touches on the 409, and putting it through the wringer on the dyno.
To button up this W-motor, we opted for dual quads, because it only seems natural on a high-performance 409. We used Edelbrock's Performer RPM large-port intake manifold and a pair of Edelbrock Thunder Series (1803 and 1804) carburetors. Coming in at 500 cfm each, the dual four-barrels provide plenty of fuel for the thirsty 409, which utilizes a 110-gallon-per-hour mechanical fuel pump.
During the finishing stages of the build, we also install a Pertronix Flame-Thrower "Plug N Play" billet distributor, which is an easy solution for updating the engine to electronic ignition. The small-body distributor doesn't take away from the old-school looks of our 409, but the electronic module certainly outperforms the original points-style ignition system. One of the cool features of the Pertronix distributor is a built-in rev limiter, which will be set to 6,000 rpm to keep our engine alive and well. We also used a Pertronix Flame-Thrower III coil and a set of Pertronix 8mm plug wires. Edelbrock suggests RC12YC spark plugs for use in its Performer RPM cylinder heads, so that's exactly what we used.
Once all of the vital details were completed, we finished off the engine with Edelbrock Classic Series finned aluminum accessories in the new satin finish, for the raw, as-cast look. An Edelbrock aluminum water pump keeps the engine cool, at half the weight of the original cast-iron pump.
The final, and most intimidating, step of the entire build was the dyno session. Taking a brand-new engine and putting it through its paces can be unnerving, especially when you consider the volatile nature of the 409. It's a short stroke engine that really wants to rev, but the heavy pistons can wreak havoc if the connecting rods aren't up to the task. So we kept the engine below 6,000 rpm on the dyno to prevent carnage.
The end results were very pleasing, as the 409 screamed to its peak horsepower figures at 5,800 rpm. It cranked out 504.8 hp at 5,800 rpm and 515.3 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm on the dyno at Hixson Motorsports in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee. Hixson Motorsports builds cars for the ARCA racing series, so owner Wayne Hixson was very particular about the dyno setup. He provided the fuel (Sunoco 260 GTX), as any traces of other fuel in one of his engines could result in a fine or disqualification. With an octane level of around 100, the racing fuel allowed us to get a little more aggressive with our ignition timing, and we also had the advantage of Hixson's fresh air duct, which replicates the cowl pressure experienced when one of his racecars is at speed. Our dyno pulls were a maximum effort for our combination, but we can expect this engine to make around 470 hp on pump gas and a standard timing tune-up of 34 degrees.
Originally, this 409 would've been rated at 425 hp, so we made substantial gains without any fancy machine work or exotic parts. We simply bolted a fresh top end onto a mostly stock bottom end, and added a hydraulic roller camshaft and an upgraded ignition system. We also need to give some credit to the exhaust, as we ditched the original manifolds in favor of Hooker Super Comp full-length headers (PN 2171HKR). With 17/8-inch primary tubes and 3-inch collectors, the headers let the 409 breathe easily, and it sang quite a tune at 5,800 rpm.
With the engine and testing complete, it makes for a great story when you consider these components went through this same sort of abuse in a drag car 50 years ago. The fact that the old engine can still scream after all those years of neglect is part of the cool factor of our mysterious barn-find 409, but it wouldn't be possible without the companies that do the research and make these updates simple and effective. And while many 409 builders would've abandoned the original parts and given this engine the stroker treatment in an effort to make more horsepower, we're happy with our 505 horses, and happy it survived the dyno thrash session. Now this 409 is ready for the street or the track. The real question is, what are we going to put it in?
1. Before we install the intake manifold, we must first install the baffle, which is included in the kit. This baffle is held in place with three rivets, which are hammered into three bosses in the intake. The rivets are a tight fit, but it doesn't hurt to use a few drops of red Loctite for extra assurance.
2. Edelbrock offers high-performance intake gaskets but suggests using a bead of high-temperature silicone on the front and rear surfaces where the intake meets the block.
3. After allowing the silicone to tack up, the Performer RPM dual-quad intake was lowered into place. We tried our best to align the boltholes without disturbing the silicone in the process.
4. Once again, we're dealing with wet boltholes, so we used ARP thread sealer on all of the intake bolts just to be safe. The intake is held in place with 16 stainless steel ARP fasteners.
5. Starting in the middle, and working our way out in a clockwise pattern, we tighten the intake manifold. After all of the bolts are snugged down, we tighten the bolts to 30 lb-ft of torque.
6. Now we can drop in the Pertronix Flame-Thrower billet distributor, which features an Ignitor III module. Out of the box, this distributor is set up to provide 24 degrees of timing by 3,500 rpm, so setting our initial timing at 10 degrees (resulting in 34 degrees total timing) is a good place to start tuning.
7. With the engine still on top dead center on the number one piston, we can begin adjusting the valves. For this setup, we adjusted to zero lash (when we could no longer spin the pushrod) and then made another half turn.
8. Other small pieces of the puzzle can now go together, such as the mechanical fuel pump, rated at 110 gallons per hour.
9. The Thunder Series carburetors go on next, and they slide over the stud kit we picked up from Edelbrock. For this dual quad setup, one carburetor features an electric choke, while the other is a standard manual choke model. Both are rated at 500 cfm.
10. Dual-quad linkage can sometimes be tricky, but Edelbrock makes it simple with this adjustable linkage setup. It can be used as direct linkage or progressive linkage, and you can adjust how quickly the secondary carburetor comes in.

Great Cycling Computer
By Brad the Cyclist
from Fort Wayne, IN
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Garmin Edge 800 GPS Bundle with City Navigation:
Great navigation unit and bike/training computer. Works well so far. Very versitle in terms of compatibly with multiple ANT+ devices at one time. Love the feature of having multiple bike setups entered into unit, makes for incredibly easy transferring from one bike to another. Garmin Connect is by far the easiest and most informative ride tracking service I have used. I was blown away by the services create a route feature... very intuitive. Drawback include the price. At anywhere from $300-$500 for the unit alone it is one of the priciest computers out there, but there's a reason for that. Don't expect the quickest learning curve wiht this device either. It is so customizable that it is a bit of sensory overload right out of the gate. The actual in ride navigation is pretty awesome but there is something a little off with the display of route. Hard to put my finger on it, but seriously now I am just nit picking to come up with a few drawbacks. Really a great unit if you are able to spend the money and have the desire to track pretty much everything about your ride.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"I have owned this nightgown in both red and blue plaid for about a year and a half. They are soft but thick flannel and very well made (I sew, so I know how I like things made). I have lost a lot of weight so am getting a couple of sizes smaller because I can't imagine not having this nightnightgown . I just wish my new size were available in the blue plaid right now. I would happily get both colors again." - Anne Stevenson, Wilmington, DE
"This is my favorite "go-to nightgown " on a chilly night. Wearing this makes me feel that the busyness of the day is over and now it's time to relax. I have one, and I'm sending for another one before this one wears out! P.S. The red plaid flannel makes a perfect nightgown for opening presents on Christmas morning."-Jane Smith, Kirkwood, MO

Raptorix01-- I understand that you (and lots of other people) would like to have Terry continue his works indefinitely. But, I think that he leaves all sorts of things apparently unfinished (Esk's son, Amber's future as Kelda, Laetia as witch, and I suppose even the certainty that Tiffany and Preston will marry--something Tiffany tries to ask her future self, but is only told to "listen").
The point is, these elements are useful to Terry in his primary focus in this book, which is the confirmation that Tiffany is a full-blown, competent witch around whom, as Granny says, her whole steading revolves. And, her defeat of the Cunning Man--who has been defeated once before (that we know of) by Granny should tell you that Terry probably has no intention of writing any more of the Tiffany books. This is the greatest test of Tiffany, the greatest threat to Disc world--and I don't think Terry thinks there's more to be said.
I think, as I've said earlier, that he's finishing off all the Disc world series (with Snuff), and will write (perhaps with others for as long as he's able, other kinds of novels. I don't particularly like that conclusion, but I think it's accurate.

Next Wednesday, November 13, residents of the Sag Harbor School District will be asked to weigh in on two propositions aimed at maintaining, and improving, facilities at both the Sag Harbor Elementary School and Pierson Middle/High School.
We believe both propositions deserve community support.
The first bond, which totals $7,357,132 in spending, will cost a resident who owns a home with a market value of $1 million less than $9 a month. For that price, the school district will be able to completely renovate the Pierson Middle/High School auditorium, which will not only increase safety, but also give the school adequate seating for assemblies, and allow the district's performing arts curriculum to thrive. Shop and technology classroom spaces will also be improved, as will the elementary school gymnasium. A partial roof replacement at the elementary school, bringing the Pierson Middle/High School kitchen up to health department safety standards, reconfiguring parking at both schools.
The second proposition, which calls for $1,620,000 in funding, will allow for the creation of a turf field at Pierson Middle/High School, which would include a track, a baseball diamond, softball diamond and a small plaza for spectators. For a homeowner with a residence that has a market value of $1 million, it would cost a little more than $1 per month to fund.
The first proposition is a no brainer. It allows for significant upgrades to both schools that will improve health, safety and curriculum. The second proposition, while it may seem extravagant, would increase safety, save in annual maintenance costs, give the athletic program facilities on par with schools throughout the county and give community members a safe outdoor track to exercise on.
Ultimately we believe bonding for projects like this at a time of low interest rates allows our school district to move long overdue projects forward without placing too large a burden on the shoulders of taxpayers. Which is why we encourage people to support both propositions next Wednesday, November 13.

By Claire Walla
This coming Saturday, Christine Fetton will spend most of her waking hours at the Southampton Town transfer station in North Sea, doing what most people probably consider a most undesirable activity: monitoring trash.
As the director of waste management for Southampton Town, monitoring trash at the town's transfer station, where she keeps an office, is a relatively routine role for Fetton. However, this Saturday is Earth Day, which means Southampton Town will be holding its annual Great East End Clean-Up (which runs through Sunday).
This time last year, Fetton said the town collected a grand total of 56 tons of garbage.
"I think we're going to be a little busier this weekend than we are during normal weeks," she said with a grin.
As in years past, the Clean Up will bring hundreds of East End residents to beaches and parks throughout Southampton Town for a conscientious environmental cleanse in the name of Earth Day, the one day out of the year when communities around the world make an effort to beautify their immediate surroundings.
In addition to the Great East End Clean Up, residents here will also be able to take part in a smattering of other nature-oriented events. The South Fork Natural History Museum and Nature Center (on the Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike) will host a cleanup of its own at Sagg Main Beach from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 21, followed by an open house from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The open house will not only include a Live Raptor and Animal Show at 1 p.m., but also a walking tour that requires nothing but your eyes and a working cell phone.
"You dial a number on your cell phone and it goes to a recording with information about that stop [on the nature walk]," said Nature Educator Lindsay Rohrbach.
Out in Montauk, Earth Day will be widely celebrated on Earth Day's official date: Sunday, April 22. From 9 a.m. to noon, people will be invited to clean up areas around Edgemere Street (garbage bags will be available at the movie theater), and from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. kids will be able to decorate reusable grocery bags at the Montauk Playhouse.
The emphasis on reusable bags is also a big part of this year's town-sponsored events in Southampton. During the Great East End Clean Up, trash collectors will be asked to separate single-use plastic bags from the mix. According to Fetton, this accumulation of plastic will be used as data.
"This way we can work to establish a baseline of usage, which we can compare to next year's numbers," Fetton explained.
While the town voted against instituting an all-out plastic bag ban (like the one now in place in Southampton Village) earlier this year, it has embarked on an educational campaign, urging residents to limit their dependence on plastic.
This entire effort, called Greener Southampton: The Solution is in the Bag, will be kicked-off this Saturday, as well. Councilwoman Christine Preston Scalera and Councilman Chris Nuzzi, in addition to the town's Sustainability Coordinator Liz Plouff will be at the King Kullen Supermarket on Montauk Highway in Bridgehampton from noon to 2 p.m. to discuss the environmental hazards of plastic bags. (Those shopping within that time frame who spend $10 or more at the store will receive a free reusable bag.)
Taking a momentary break from the plastics discussion, Plouff will also talk about the town's Green Homes initiative, through which homeowners in the town of Southampton can request free audits on their home's energy efficiency. She will also mention the town's anti-idling campaign.
In the end, Fetton said there may only be one organized town-wide cleanup in Southampton, but she hopes this year's educational efforts will have long-lasting effects.
"The key is continuing education," she said.
While plastic bags may take center stage this year, Fetton said these educational efforts, which have branched out to civic associations and other community groups, try to incorporate all aspects of sustainability, from limiting the use of plastics to diminishing the number of idling vehicles.
"All of these issues mesh very well because they have a ripple effect for one another, and when you live more sustainably you reduce the amount of pollutants in the environment," Fetton continued. "We have to get away from the mindset that Earth Day is just one weekend out of the year."

The stock price comes like this: price, where $symbol is the ticker symbol and price is something like 6.75 (no $ sign)
This is what I have so far:
$content = file_get_contents('http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=$symbol'); preg_match('##', $content, $match); $price = $match[1]; echo "Price: $price";
I really have no idea what I'm doing with preg_match, and the PHP documentation didn't really help much. When I run this code, I get "error: Undefined Offset: 1," referring to $match[1].
What am I doing wrong?

The old saying, "There's no replacement for displacement," is dead-on accurate. Sure, you can stuff a big, nasty camshaft into a smaller engine, or spin that same engine into the rpm stratosphere and make more power, but extra cubes yields something that real performance junkies find more beneficial: torque. When it comes to going fast, torque is king and it's one reason why old-school big-block Chevy engines still command respect. Of course, the down side to all that big-block goodness is weight. It's a give-and-take deal; at least it used to be. Today it's possible to get crazy displacement even in the diminutive small-block package. For example, GM's line of lightweight aluminum LS engines started out at around 350 cubic inches. As time passed, that displacement steadily grew to 364, 376, and eventually topped out at 427 glorious inches in the LS7. But the power-mad masses clamored for more. The problem was that the iron-sleeved aluminum blocks could only be punched out so far before getting dangerously thin in the cylinder wall department. Of course there was the stroke side of the displacement calculation, but the factory sleeves were only so long. The solution turned out to be ditching the GM sleeves and going aftermarket.
Now, this isn't something you're going to be able to do yourself using common hand tools in your garage. It involves very specialized and expensive equipment, but more importantly it requires someone with the skill and experience to pull off the surgery. That's where Steve Demirjian, of Race Engine Development, comes in. He's been in the racing engine business since 1972, and that equates to a lot of knowledge of what works and what doesn't. In regards to sleeves, he's been working with Darton for quite some time and is even one of the patent holders for their Modular Integrated Deck (MID) sleeve system. In other words, he was the perfect guy to help us up the displacement of our LS engine. The MID system was developed by Darton to address the factory blocks design weakness of cylinder stability due to the poor support at the upper deck area. GM's "cast in sleeves" makes the factory engines affordable, and they are great to a certain power level, but lacking when it comes to high power, boosted, or, as in our case, larger bore sizes. When the Darton sleeves are siamesed and nested they create a solid deck of sleeve flanges held in tension. This reinforces the upper deck area and provides for individual replacement with what Darton calls Modular Integrated Deck (MID). Also, this design enhances water flow from block to head and promotes stability of cooling since all the sleeves are of the "wet" design. Unlike factory sleeves, water flows all the way around the cylinders, which promotes cooling and helps control detonation. You can find more tasty tidbits about Darton's MID sleeves by hitting up their website.

In this one year that I've been working on Walking with Giants, I've been focusing a lot on western art, and I thought it'd be great to go back to my roots and explore and discover some Asian creatives. I'm starting off in Singapore, where I was born and raised.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting to find any artists, let alone photograph them, Singapore's one country where art is almost non-existent.
But you know, with google, almost anything's possible.
I spent my morning chatting with Yeo Siak Goon, at 14, he knew he couldn't do anything but art. So he dropped it all and gave all his energy to art. From photography to publishing and now a full-time painter, he's worked hard all his life, to learn and to create, and even now he's still hungry for more.

Environment Protection Activities
Preservation of ecological system
■ "Clarion Global Eco Photo Contest 2013"
■ Participation in Volunteer Clean-up Activity of Inawashiro Lake (Fukushima Pref.)
■ Protection Activities of Honeybees at Clarion France (CEF)
Furthermore, the members visited a nearby elementary school and held "Visiting Honeybee Class." This could teach the children importance of protection of bees as a part of preservation of biological systems, and triggered their interest in the issue.
Preventing Global Warming
■ Operation Green Curtain
Clarion promoted "Operation Green Curtain"again in the fiscal year 2013. Environment Group of CSR Promotion Office distributed seeds of Goya (kind of bitter melon) and morning glories to employees who wanted to grow them at home in an effort to save electricity with their effects of "green curtains". Further, in order to raise awareness of "electricity saving", Clarion's liquid crystal thermometers were widely used.
● Energy Consumption (in terms of crude oil)
■ Energy Consumption Reduction Activities
The Hitachi Group is striving to achieve energy consumption reduction targets of 15% in terms of Basic Unit for Energy in fiscal 2015 (against fiscal 2005 level). The total energy consumed by Clarion Group in fiscal 2013 in terms of crude oil was 3,775 kℓ. We will further promote the reduction through such activities as reviewing of production processes, introduction of energy saving device and other steady improvement of work environment.
■ CMS Fukushima Protocol Upper Grade Section Award
Fukushima Protocol Undertakings are initiatives by enterprises in Fukushima Prefecture. They, bound by exchanged agreements with the Governor of Fukushima, address measures for better energy efficiency aiming at reduction of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. Clarion has participated in these undertakings since 2009. In 2012, 495 schools and 1535 business entities participated. The Upper Grade Section for larger business entities newly started (11 entities) and Clarion was honored with a first award in this section. Suppressed use of heatpump multiple air conditioners which achieved less consumption of kerosene was evaluated highly in this award.
■ Use of Green Electricity at Tech Show
Clarion made use of "Tradable Green Certificate" system and covered all lighting and air conditioning electricity at the Tech Show held in July 2013 with green electricity from a wind power station.
With such use, Clarion promotes harmony of business activities and environment, as well as increasing of awareness for environment.
■ Active Use of CO2 Credit (Emission Trading)
Clarion started new approach for more consideration to the environment through deployment of international air transport services with CO2 credit. As we use international air transport services, we procure CO2 credit, following the Kyoto Mechanism, and transfer it to redemption account of the Japanese government.
The procurement of CO2 credit, at the same time, contributes to social infrastructure of the State of Karnataka, India, where the project is located from which we procure the credit.
Effective Use of Resources
Clarion endeavors to reduce the total amount of waste generated by its business activities and further promote recycling activities. Clarion defines "zero waste output" as "reducing the amount of final disposal at the sites to be less than 0.5%, by recycling more than 99.5%" and we are working to achieve this goal. At the same time, we promote material recycling through improvement of production processes and disassembling of waste.
Through efforts of waste separation patrol and promotion of education/training, we recycled 99.98% of output in fiscal 2013. We shall address this issue of further reduction of environmental impact through promotion of higher level recycling and technology for reinput of waste in product resource.
● Amount of Disposal • Amount of Recycling
Chemical Substance Management Activities
Clarion conducts thorough chemical substance management through ongoing awareness education and training activities. Moreover, we strive to reduce the output of chemical substances used in production by switching these to ones with lower environmental impact. Currently we work primarily to reduce solder, waste oil and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) of which we have higher usage, eventually, waste output.
■ Complying with the Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers (PRTR) Law
Clarion runs a system that tracks the amounts of chemical substances used and their waste output, even if they are used only in smaller amounts below the levels subject to report under the PRTR. In fiscal 2013, although as a whole Clarion domestic operations handled 777kg of chemical substances, the amount itself was below that required to be reported under the PRTR Law. We are also striving to reduce the amount of usage and waste output of chemical substances that are not subject to the PRTR Law.

Scattered Pines, Tone River, No. 71 from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
We can almost hear the swish as the fisherman casts his net out over the Tone River. The stubby lead weights around the edge of the net form a pleasing border to the intricate web within, a masterpiece of carving technique. Through the net is a blurred continuation of the distant shore. The "scattered pines" of the title may be explained by the pine trees on the island at the left, worn and twisted by the wind. The place was popular among fishermen for its carp.

- Catalogue Description: This scene shows a fisherman casting his net, with lead weights around the edge, into the Tone River. The location depicted was known for its carp and the wind twisted pine trees mentioned in the title appear on the shore to the left. In Hiroshige's day, "Tone River" referred to what is now the Edogawa River. It has been suggested that the "Barabaramatsu" in the title referred to more than one place, perhaps various groups of scattered pines along the riverbanks in this region.

57 The Songs of the Sox: "Sweet Caroline" and "Tessie"
The ritual of playing "Sweet Caroline" at Fenway at the bottom of the eighth inning has been a Red Sox Nation favorite since 2003. It began in 1998, when a Red Sox employee named his newborn daughter Caroline; the song was played as a tribute to the baby, and a tradition was born as well.
The songwriter, Neil Diamond, told the Associated Press in November 2007 that the inspiration for the 1969 hit song was Caroline Kennedy, John F. Kennedy's daughter. Diamond made the revelation to Kennedy while singing at her 50th birthday party via satellite. Until then, nobody really knew who "Sweet Caroline" was.
Diamond said, "I had never discussed it with anybody before — intentionally. I thought I would tell it to Caroline when I met her someday." Diamond said it was the most significant song of his career, jump-starting his life in the music business. He said he wrote the song after seeing a photo of a young Caroline dressed in riding gear next to her pony.
Red Sox fans never really cared about the origins of the song's title, but knowing that it was about a Kennedy still probably made them smile.
Here are those famous lyrics that Sox fans love to shout:
Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'.
But then I know it's growin' strong.
Was in the spring
And spring became a summer.
Who'd have believed you'd come along.
Hands, touchin' hands,
Reachin' out,
Touchin' me,
Touchin' you.
Sweet Caroline,
Good times never seemed so good.

The Projection Party
Of all the things Republicans have called President Obama in the last four years—socialist, radical, un-American, anti-American, elitist—perhaps the strangest is "divisive." It seems so odd to the rest of us when we look at Obama, whose entire history, even from childhood, has been about carefully navigating through opposing ideas, resolving contradictions, and diffusing tensions, who has so often infuriated his supporters with compromises and attempts at conciliation. Yet conservatives look at him and see someone completely different. They see Obama plotting to set Americans at war with one another so he can profit from the destruction, perhaps cackling a sinister laugh as thunder rattles the windows on the West Wing and America's demise is set in motion.
There has seldom been a clearer political case of what psychologists call "projection," the propensity to ascribe to someone else one's own thoughts, feelings, and sins. It's true that we are in a polarized moment, and what is called nastiness often turns out to be genuine substantive differences between parties that represent distinct groups of Americans. But Republicans have been, shall we say, vigorous in their opposition to this president, both completely unified and unrestrained in their criticism. Yet they remain convinced that Barack Obama is the one who bears responsibility for whatever division has been sown.
Just a few examples, to let you know I'm not pulling this from nowhere. Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell, the man who proudly proclaimed, "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president," calls Obama "the most divisive [president] I've served with." "We have not seen such a divisive figure in modern American history than we have over the last three and one-half years" says Senator Marco Rubio. "President Obama has become one of the most divisive presidents in American history," charges GOP uber-strategist Ed Gillespie. RNC chair Reince Preibus calls Obama "divisive, nasty, negative." Mitt Romney tells Obama to "take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago and let us get about rebuilding and reuniting America."
The "divisive" charge isn't just an accusation, it's an entire narrative arc, awaiting only the conclusion in which the American people send Obama and his divisiveness packing. As the conservative Washington Times editorialized, "He said he would be a unifier, that he would reach across party lines, that he would forge consensus. Once he took office, however, armed with a hard-left agenda and backed by a supermajority in Congress, the arrogance of power overwhelmed the better angels of his nature." This is a story Republicans tell often, a story in which Republicans themselves are strangely absent. That "hard-left agenda" wasn't just inherently divisive, it was also enacted divisively; for instance, one often hears Republicans claim that the Affordable Care Act was "rammed through" Congress without Republican support. You might recall that in fact the ACA went through over a year of hearings, negotiations, conferences, health care summits, endless efforts to cajole and encourage and beg and plead for Republican support, before those Republicans successfully kept every last one of their troops in line to vote against it. But as on so many issues, all of that is washed from the story, leaving only Barack Obama and his divisive actions.
Don't ask about Republicans' unprecedented use of the filibuster to stifle Obama's appointments and legislation, or how the Tea Party Republicans took the country to the brink of financial catastrophe, or how many elected members of their party question Obama's patriotism and genuinely believe he isn't actually an American. Don't ask about conservative media figures who continually race-bait and encourage their legion of listeners to nurture a white-hot hatred for the president and liberals in general. No, the real viciousness belongs only to Barack Obama, and its horror can be seen in things like his suggestion that that the wealthiest Americans could tolerate an increase in the top tax rate from 35 percent to 39.6 percent (a suggestion always accompanied by encomiums to success and the reassurance that the wealthy are fine people). Not only is Obama "demonizing the rich," as Romney surrogate John Sununu says, "when he says 'rich' he says it with a snarl." You may believe that no human being on this plane of reality has actually ever seen Barack Obama snarl, but that would just mean you aren't looking closely enough.
The New York Times reported over the weekend that Romney's advisers are now "convinced he needs a more combative footing against President Obama in order to appeal to white, working-class voters," so they are making clear that this election is about us and them. If there's any confusion about who's who, you can turn on your television to find out. Romney is currently running ads charging falsely that Obama is taking tax money from hardworking people like you to support layabout welfare recipients who no longer have to satisfy work requirements, and has now turned to telling seniors (again, falsely), that "the money you paid for guaranteed health care is going to a massive new government program that's not for you." But I'm sure Romney does this more in sadness than in anger. After all, when faced with someone as divisive as Obama, what choice does he have?
Opinions of Obama are certainly polarized—Democrats love him and Republicans hate him. But is that a product of his actions, or of a time when the parties increasingly represent two distinct, non-overlapping ideologies? In his third year, Obama's average approval in Gallup polls among Democrats was 80 percent, compared to only 12 percent among Republicans. This 68-point gap is large by historical standards, but it was smaller than the 70-point gap in George W. Bush's sixth year. And the 72-point gap in George W. Bush's fifth year. And the 76-point gap in George W. Bush's fourth year. It would seem that Bush was actually the most polarizing president.
And like Obama, Bush came in to office hoping to heal partisan divisions. "I don't have enemies to fight," he said in his 2000 convention speech. "And I have no stake in the bitter arguments of the last few years. I want to change the tone of Washington to one of civility and respect." I suppose Republicans might say that Bush's failure to succeed in that goal wasn't the president's fault but that of the opposition, while the continued acrimony during the Obama years isn't the opposition's fault but that of the president.
Ask Republicans what Obama might have done to be less divisive, and the most common response is that he could have abandoned his own agenda and adopted theirs instead; had he done that, they would have been happy to work with him. Which gives us a clue to the terrible thing Obama did to them. By making Republicans hate him with such a burning fire—by having the gall to win the presidency, then brazenly pursuing his party's longstanding goals like health care reform—he brought out the worst in them. And they really can't be blamed for that, can they?

Beautifully stated, Mr. Waldman. It is a bottomless mystery worthy of Robert Stack how Republicans can demonize this President in the rigorously dissembling manner they do, choosing a portrait that doesn't come close to depicting the nature or actions of the man himself. Sadly, there is an inherent hatred in white America for a man of color (especially one with a funny name) in a position of power. Supporters of the GOP spend excessive amounts of time denying their racism while refusing to face the blatant facts that confirm it.

When they...the republicans...all start using the same demonizing statement or word at the same time, I picture them responding to a mass memo or e-mail that Karl Rove has sent out that reads, "Okay, this week, here is the lie we are telling. Make sure you repeat it over and over and over. And, when asked to justify the statement, just repeat the phrase; don't ever answer the question. That will show our ignorant followers that you really have passion and conviction. Hugs and Kisses...Rovey"

Great analysis. On the other hand, I keep meeting plumbers (none named Joe) who seem to have picked up on this particular meme and cite a few examples--Obama's "punish your enemies" speech before the 2010 election (had to Google this one, which went viral in the right blogosphere), and his flaying of the Ryan budget with Ryan sitting in the front row at his speech at GW University last April.
Mon, 2012-08-27 15:34
Looking from abroad (Germany) I can see divisiveness only on the part of the Republicans. But I suppse most media consumers have limited their information intake so much they won't even notice... It is scary.

Sorry, Obama is at the top of the scale for dividing - all those important voting blocks to appeal to.

CRESTVIEW — A bond hearing this week could shed light on the investigation surrounding the discovery of explosives Jan. 5 near the CSX railroad tracks.
Vaughn Pottle, a 31-year-old soldier with the Army 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne), faces a domestic violence charge of attempted murder. He will appear in court Friday morning seeking to post bond.
Pottle is suspected of putting explosives on the tracks' right of way near Lloyd Street, but "at this point no one has been charged federally with the explosives." said Randy Beach, a special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
"We don't know if he's going to be given a bond," Beach said. "If he is, that may change everything that I have to do, but I can't say one way or another if he will be whisked away or charged right there."
The state attorney's office will ask Circuit Judge Michael Flowers to order Pottle held in jail until trial, said Bill Bishop, chief assistant state attorney for Okaloosa County.
"Our position is he is a danger to society based on the nature of the charges against him," Bishop said.
Pottle has been in the county jail since Dec. 15. At the time of his arrest he was out on bond after an incident in October.
Federal authorities became interested in Pottle when one cache of military-issued C-4 was found Dec. 29 at his home in Baker. The explosives were found along the railroad tracks a week later.
The cache found in Crestview was not triggered to detonate, according to Police Chief Tony Taylor.
Beach said investigators have confirmed the explosives had been taken from a military installation. Now they are tracing serial numbers and locating the manufacturer to determine which one.
ATF is working with the Florida State Fire Marshal's Office, the FBI, Army Criminal Investigative Division, Homeland Security Investigations, Defense Criminal Investigative Service and Army Judge Advocate General'sCorps.
"We're using the abilities of each agency to track the original source, which begins at the manufacturer," Beach said.
The FBI is interviewing witnesses and should complete its portion of the investigation in the coming week, Beach added.
Pottle's bond hearing will be at 9 a.m. Friday at the county courthouse. Beach said the ATF and other agencies will attend.
"If it looks like he's going to make bond, that may change my reason to move swiftly," Beach said. "If he does not make bond our investigation should be complete in the next two to three weeks. The more time I have to put the investigation together, the better."

Did you see the uproar over Taylor Swift recently inking a deal to be a spokesperson for Diet Coke? I'm scratching my head over this one. An enterprising (and talented) young American signs an agreement to hawk a soft drink for a little extra cash…..and a certain contingent nutritionist and a selected few guardians of "extra poundage" rise up out of the woodwork to protest.
What happened to the land of opportunity?
I don't know Taylor Swift from Adam's housecat. I can't tell you one song she sings. I could not pick her out of a line up of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Beyonce. Listen, I've got running shoes older than Taylor Swift!
I've heard just enough of her to know that, despite any claims to the contrary, she is not a country singer. I don't care how she is advertised or promoted! Loretta Lynn to this day gets a hint of a c in there as she pronounces "here"…..as in that line from her autobiographical standard, "Not much left but the floor, nothing lives cheer anymore….." Now folks, that's country! You should a'seen the hairdo Tammy Wynette was sporting when she first moved to Nashville in 1966; it screamed country even before she opened her mouth. And bless her heart, the late Kitty Wells would make Loretta and Tammy both seem like they were born in New York City!
I'm not defending Taylor Swift today because she's young or beautiful or "my kind of singer". I'm just musing over the fact that some folks have got to put their negative two cents worth in sometimes where it doesn't belong.
These naysayers claim that the popularity that Miss, or Mrs., (I don't keep up with that stuff) Swift has among young teenagers will cause them to drink more sodas thereby adding to the already raging obesity among the youth of America today. They added statistics with graphs and charts to aid their viewpoint.
Have we gone completely bonkers in this country?
We'd never heard of Diet Coke in 1957. Me and Ricky and Yogi would drink a sugar laden Root Beer over on the front steps of Woodrow Kennon's Grocery Store and then run up and play for an hour on the World War I cannon guarding the square. We'd then high-tail it down to the big ditch below our house and swing across the water on grape vines. We'd spend the afternoon playing baseball way out at that field across from the Pajama Factory. We'd race like the Devil was after us to get home before the sundown curfew. We ended most everyday a whole lot thinner than we started it.
Don't blame the cola if you're going to sit on the couch for hours on end and watch Howdy Dowdy. Listen, you can get fat eating carrots and English peas if you don't know when to stop!
It might behoove our young generation to worry less about their calorie intake and spend more time "hand walking" the World War I cannon. How about a good game of "kick the can" or "hide and go seek"?
Plus, do we really believe Robert Wagner has a reverse mortgage on his personal home? Sam Elliot is as rugged as all get out and one of the most likeable actors around, but does that mean he actually drives a Dodge Ram? I have a pretty good idea of "What's in Alec Baldwin's wallet" since he started doing those Capital One commercials!
Leon would say, "They're just in it for the money."
I don't wear English Leather. I had a girlfriend once that insisted I would be more attractive to her if I'd splash a little on before we went to the dance over at the National Guard Armory in Lexington. It smelled like a cross between dead lilacs and prune juice to me! I stuck with a touch of Vanilla Extract along each sideburn. I wasn't about to put some "foreign substance" all over my face and body.
But let's not kid each other here; if the English Leather people showed up and said, "Hey Kes, we'll pay you a million dollars to get on TV and promote our cologne", I'd sign on any dotted line they pointed to! I'd pour that stuff in my hair, my eyes, I bathe in it……shoot, I'd drink it for that kind of money! I'd proclaim English Leather to the rooftops! I wouldn't care how many lilacs or prunes were killed in the making of the commercial.
You think those Taylor Swift critics wouldn't do the exact same thing if given the chance?
People, young and old, have some responsibility as they watch any promotion, read any ad, mull over an infomercial or decide between Crest or Colgate. Isn't it written on Mt. Rushmore or somewhere, "Let the buyer beware"?
Let's leave Taylor Swift alone. If she can command the extra money, good for her! I'm not going to rush out and buy her records or CD's or videos. She just doesn't appeal to me as an entertainer.
I believe I will, however, go out and have myself a Diet Coke to celebrate her good fortune.
