WeatherWatch: (July 18) Weekend weather
Another low is heading towards Northland with a period of rain on Saturday PM. Meanwhile further south colder air continues to blow in, with snow expected on the North Island ski fields and on the ranges of both islands. However high pressure will build over the South Island and western parts of New Zealand early next week for a few days ahead of the next system – likely to drive back in northerlies.

Not your typical science blog, but an 'open science' research blog. Watch me fumbling my way towards understanding how and why bacteria take up DNA, and getting distracted by other cool questions.
Next steps
Frozen cell stocks: I'll want to start my phosphate-limited cultures with cells that have been pre-grown under phosphate-limited conditions, so that their subsequent growth will be limited by the phosphate in the medium, rather than by the phosphorus they have accumulated in RNA and other molecules. I have about 50 ml of dense culture in +P medium, so I'll wash these cells, resuspend them in a large volume of -P medium, and incubate them just until growth stalls**. To make monitoring easy I'll start the cultre at the final OD reached by my original -P culture; at this density I expect the cells to run out of phosphate within a few doublings.
(** I need to be careful that apparent cell density isn't being influenced by accumulation of poly-hydroxybutyrate, as it was in the Wolfe-Simon paper. So I'll also plate the cells to check that numbers are no longer increasing.)
Once I have a phosphate-limited culture I'll collect the cells (by filtration or centrifugation), resuspend them at high density, and freeze 1 ml aliquots of them in 15% glycerol. I'll check the cell density by plating before and after freezing, to make sure that freezing doesn't kill the cells.
DNA prep: I should have enough cells to also make my first DNA prep - if not I'll inoculate one of my freezer-stock tubes into a new overnight culture. I'll put this DNA through the same multiple purification steps I plan to use for DNA from arsenic-grown cells, checking the DNA concentration at each step, and running a gel to confirm the quality of the DNA and the absence of contaminating RNA. This will let me estimate the loss in each purification step, so I'll know how many cells I'll need for the arsenic-grown DNA prep.
Elemental analysis: I'll send aliquots of the media and some of the DNA to my collaborators, so they can check levels of phosphorus and arsenic. We can consider this to be our control DNA - if the DNA from arsenic-grown cells has no more arsenic than this DNA, we can conclude that arsenic-grown cells do not put arsenic into their DNA. It will be good to test this DNA now, as it sets the limit of detection we need for the arsenic-grown DNA.
However, when I purify the DNA from the arsenic-grown cells I'll also do a second control, by briefly incubating phosphate-grown cells in the arsenic medium before DNA purification. This will control for any carryover of arsenic in the DNA purification. If my purification is adequate I expect this DNA to have no more arsenic than the first control.
Strain identification: I'll give some of the DNA to the RA. She has the primers for the 16S rDNA amplification and will get it sequenced to confirm that these bacteria are GFAJ-1.

Hi Rosie,ReplyDelete
Did you end up finding that you still didn't get growth in the Wolfe-Simon et al. medium, even after adding potassium? Could it be that you are just looking for higher yields? The amount of growth in Figure 1A from Wolfe-Simon et al. is pretty low. The amount you are getting with the phosphate amendment looks pretty high in the picture, but I can't gauge whether it is higher than an OD (680 nm) of ~0.25 (the highest OD reported in the paper).
In any case, I am excited to see whether you can get GFAJ-1 to grow on the glutamate-amended medium with arsenate instead of phosphate.
Oops, I meant to say "the amount you are getting with the phosphate AND glutamate amendments looks pretty high..." Sorry!ReplyDelete
No growth at all without an amino acid or agar; ODs less than 0.005. OD=~1.5 with glutamate!ReplyDelete

An installation server with extras
The virtualization breakthrough has not reduced the number and diversity of operating systems that admins must install and manage. Uranos server sets out to give administrators of complex operating system zoos more freedom.
Mario Gzuk once faced the task of installing to a mixed group of operating systems, all without manual intervention, as far as possible. He really wanted to do this with Unattended, a Linux tool that automatically rolls out various Windows systems in a computer pool. However, the lack of a user interface and a few other aspects bothered him. So, as is often the case in the free software scene, Gzuk set off to develop his own framework, Uranos, building on Unattended.

STOCKTON — Reflecting rebounding prices in the real-estate market, the assessed values of properties in San Joaquin County rose last year, meaning more revenue for strapped government agencies and higher tax bills for property owners.
The total for assessed property value as of Jan. 1 in the county is more than $58 billion, an increase of 9.2 percent from the year before, according to the county Assessor's Office. It's the second year in a row the assessed tax roll has risen since the housing market crash and the first time values increased in the city of Stockton, according to the announcement of the official tax rolls for the 2014-15 fiscal year, which began in July 1.
Despite the gain, the total assessed value of property in the county is still below the $62 billion peak reached in 2007.
Homeowners who saw a tax break as the value of their properties plummeted could see their tax bills rise by 40 percent or more as their homes gain back lost value.

The thick patch of hair nestled in a man's asscrack. It is often so thick that the owner of the wombat must either use sheers or electric clippers, or if so lucky, enlist the assistance of a girlfriend or partner to trim through the tangles. It is often said that the hair is so dark, that light cannot escape its surface.

This is a movie written and directed by The RZA, a member of the powerhouse rap group The Wu-Tang Clan; produced by Eli Roth, the guy who made Hostel, and overseen by Quentin Tarantino, whose grindhouse kung fu depravity knows no bounds. To claim you expected good acting and a consequential plot is to...
For a generation weaned on more Mario than Mother Goose, Wreck-It Ralph has been a long time coming. An 8-bit fairy tale with a burly bruiser in the role of the misunderstood princess, it skews a tad more prepubescent than Pixar but shares similar DNA. Writers Jennifer Lee and Phil Johnston won't be unlocking any bonus levels for originality, with a conceit that feels poached from Toy Story and a take-home message...

I fiddled around the editor for a while, but I'm not knowleadgeable enough to figure out how on my own.
The website I'm having problems with is Portable Gaming Region.
Oh, on a side note: I just started using this theme and most of my featured images from previous posts were around 640x320, which of course looks horrible when scaled the width is scaled to 220px to fit the small thumbnails. So, is is there a way to show small thumbnails of featured images as 220x220 regardless of their original dimensions?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Back to School Survey
OK .... my kids are much, much younger (10, 8 & 6). However, I noticed that they always perceived my debit card as a magical instrument, with an infinitie supply of spending power. This concerned me, so I attempted to explain that the card was only usable if I had money in my bank account. They didn't really "get it", so I purchase the electronic version of Monopoly. Instead of paper money, each kid gets a debit card. There is a banking center that adds/deducts funds when you swipe your card. Several times, they spent all their funds on various properties and ran out of money. I think they kind of "get it" now.

25 Years In Arthritis: New Treatments, New Hope
Biologics, Other Advancements Have Helped Those With Painful Condition
When MedPage Today contacted Dr. Joan Von Feldt to talk about the changes she'd witnessed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) care in the past 25 years, she offered one piece of advice:
"I hope, in your article, you reflect the excitement that rheumatologists have in managing this disease, because it's so much more satisfying," said Von Feldt, a rheumatologist at the University of Pennsylvania.
In 1984, the outlook for newly diagnosed RA patients was grim: a regimen of often toxic drugs that might slow the onset of crippling pain, but not for very long. Younger women were advised to forget about having children because they probably would be too disabled for the rigors of motherhood. The best outcome for many patients was joint fusion or replacement surgery.
"Our orthopedic surgeon came around to our offices two or three times a week to just kind of check in," Von Feldt recalled.
Today, although disease flares and progression can't be prevented entirely, doctors can now tell patients to expect long periods of remission and the availability of many effective, nonsurgical treatment options when their current regimens begin to fail.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Guy's Quote Of The Year – Vote Now!

RA|QA Rheumatoid Arthritis Questions & Answers
Slipfinger asks:
Hello RA Guy..
I am 40 year old active, single guy, director of a company and apart from the current serious struggle for my company to stay afloat druing this serious financial disaster life was looking pretty good..
After a couple of years of my right knee flaring here and there and more joints in the last twelve months, five weeks ago after a multiple joint flare up I was diagnosed with RA with a Rheumatoid Factor of 26 (weakly positive). While waiting for a consultation with a rheumatologist I was prescribed Diclofenac, and on Christmas Eve started a course of Prednisolone tapering from 20mg to 5mg over the course of the next month to relieve immediate inflammations and Salazopyrin EN increasing from 500mg to 2000mg over the same period.
I have just finished reading every post you have blogged since you started this RA diary. To be honest, although very informative, I am completely shi**ing myself at the prospects of what looks incredibily likely I am to face in the coming hours, days, weeks, months, years and decades..
Not being married or in a relationship with anyone at the moment (I am a fussy fu**er!) I live on my own and the future looks like it can and will be extremely difficult, for someone living on his own. I still have my mum and sisters in the next town who will support me through thick and thin, but the future has suddenly started to look very bleak.
I have so many questions about medicines and organic supplements and have no RA TEAM to speak of and dont really know where to turn.
Any advice from anyone here?

FRAMINGHAM - The Framingham Democratic Town Committee and MetroWest Daily News will co-host a debate next week between Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and challenger Michael J. Sullivan.
The debate, on Wednesday, Aug. 27, starts at 7 p.m. at the Framingham Public Library, 49 Lexington St.
Daily News opinion editor Rick Holmes is set to moderate.
Ryan, who was appointed to her post by Gov. Deval Patrick in April 2013, faces off against Sullivan, the clerk of courts for Middlesex County, in the Sept. 9 Democratic primary.
The Democratic Town Committee said the race is extremely issue-oriented and the candidates bring divergent backgrounds to the voters.
The district attorney oversees over 35,000 cases a year in the 54 cities and towns in Middlesex County.
Ryan, a career prosecutor, worked for over three decades as an assistant district attorney and received the promotion to the top post when Gerry Leone resigned.
Sullivan has served as clerk of the Middlesex Superior Court for eight years. He was previously mayor of Cambridge and a prosecutor in the attorney general's office and Middlesex DA's office.

A short paperbacked text on the uses, limitations, and interpretations of the various radiographic methods available in most hospitals. The book is admittedly aimed at the nonradiographer but is grossly unsatisfactory in complete lack of illustrations. Even if the physician is not going to interpret the films, he needs to see what a method can demonstrate if he is to understand the limits of a method's usefulness. May be used as a brief introductory text for the beginning clinical student if supplemented with teaching directly from representative films.

"The Asbestos Mine at Amiandos" Cyprus Favorite Tip by Geoff_Wright
Cyprus Favorites: 160 reviews and 184 photos
Fondest memory: As a very amatuer geologist, I found Cyprus rich in places to visit. A fond memory at the time, but I can't say that it is now - was a visit to the asbestos mine at Amiandos, about 5km East of Troodos. We had a prior arrangement for a guided tour of the mine, and went one Saturday. As you can see from the photo, it was cold, and very overcast. Did you know that asbestos - as used for roofing sheets, brake linings for cars and so on - comes from a rock? The mineral Chrysotile is common in Cyprus. If you find a piece you will see veins of fibres running through it. Scratch these fibres in one direction and they remain hard as the rock, but scratch across the fibres and they become fluffy and soft. We visited the mine before the dangers of asbestos fibres were widely known to the public, and what a dusty place it was. The rock was excavated, and fed into the top of a large building, as seen in the photo. It then falls through the floors and is crushed each step of the way. A large vaccum machine then extracts the asbestos fibres, which are finally dried in a rotary kiln, before further processing. I don't think I would like to return again

Paying for College
Many college-bound students are finding that the market for financial aid, especially when it comes to private loans, is not what it used to be. Jean talks with Ben Kaplan, author of How to Go to College for Almost Free, about how to take on the challenges of paying for college today and securing your college tuition.
Things to Consider When Seeking Financial Aid:
Things to Consider When Seeking Financial Aid:
- Don't panic. While some lenders have left the market, there is still a wide range of lenders from which you can choose.
- Shop around. Don't just pick the first loan you see. "Even a day of legwork—of research—can ultimately save you a lot," Ben says.
- Get the right type of loan. A government-backed loan is the best deal, Ben says. Look at a preferred lender list from your school, as well as other schools in the same geographic area. "It's a good place to start and see, depending on your school, what loans they're recommending directly."
- Broaden your search. Consider your private loan options. Visit websites where you can fill out one application form that can be accessed—and bid on—by multiple lenders. These sites can help save you time and money, Ben says.
- Don't just go for the lender with the lowest advertised rate. Rates will depend on your credit score. "Realize that there's a range, and you want to look at the whole range of potential rates you'll pay," he says. Borrower benefits that happen on the front end can also help you pick one loan over another.
The information provided here is general advice and you should always consult your own financial adviser before making major financial decisions, including investments or changes to your portfolio. The opinions expressed by the hosts, guests and callers to Oprah Radio are strictly their own.

They were so tame and allowed me to get quite close to them. Some were taken from inside the house, but many of them were taken outside with them looking right at me as I moved closer and closer to take their pictures. It was AWESOME to have them hanging around for so long.

If there is such a thing as a "photography gene" I surely inherited it from my grandma Herman's family. They took so many pictures and looked like they had a tremendous amount of fun posing for the pics! I love these pics. They are so precious. I think they show how close they were as a family.

Patterson Family: Part 2
This starts with the marriage of Rob's parents, Elizabeth Ann Carson and Robert Patterson. It continues until Rob grows up, gets married and starts a family of his own. Rob's parents were married on August 4, 1942 at Central Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, DE. Rob's dad served in the Navy as a cook and was stationed in Puerto Rico during WW II.

Early Patterson Family
These are photos of the Patterson family up until Rob's dad, Robert Patterson, married and started his own family. Rob's grandfather, Robert James Patterson was orphaned shortly before he turned 3 years old. His father, Robert James Patterson, died at age 42 on August 30, 1888 of consumption of the lungs (we don't know the exact date of his birth). He was a cloth cutter (so says his death certificate) who lived at 1442 S. Marshall St. in Philadelphia with his wife Kate (married June 27, 1883). He is buried at National Cemetary in Philadelphia.
His mother, Kate Kay (Wirth) Patterson, died on February 8, 1888, at the age of 29. She was born on October 26, 1858 to her parents Charles James George Wirth (December 25, 1824 - January 3, 1892) and Sarah Elizabeth (Groff) Wirth (born August 25, 1834).
Robert James Patterson, was then raised by his grandmother, Sarah Wirth, until the age of 7, when he was admitted to Girard College (for orphned boys) in Philadelphia on May 31, 1893.

Borrell Family
My dad's family wasn't very close. When I was a young girl I remember spending time with some of the Borrell aunts and uncles and cousins, particularly my aunt Anna (Borrell) Schappell's family. We saw my aunt Polly (Borrell) Straus's and uncle Jim Borrell's families occasionally, but we weren't close. My uncle George (Beefy) Borrell would visit quite a bit. He took us for rides in the rumble seat of his old "jalopy" (that's what we kids called it) that he stored in my dad's barn. It's the same car that we drove around in after our wedding. Occasionally my uncle Milton "Bub" Borrell would stop in, but never his wife. I don't even know their son who, of course, is my cousin. My dad and his mom didn't get along very well. He would always leave the house when he saw her coming to visit. I do remember sleeping over at her place one time when I was a kid. But my mom never liked visiting with her because she was a gossip, always talking nasty about people. So...not a very close family.

Rohrbach Family
My mom has a genealogy book on the Rohrbach family that traces their lineage back to Germany. It's tough to trace it much further back, apparently, because of the vast number of Rohrbachs in Germany. I'm sure it could be done if you spent some time in Germany doing research. I had a very close relationship to my Rohrbach grandparents, especially my grandmother. I spent many days at my grandparents growing up and slept overnight there whenever I could. I was very sad when my grandma passed away just two months before my wedding.

Herman Family
This is my grandmother, Lulu Mae (Herman) Rohrbach's family. My great grandfather was a saddler - worked with leather...and later on a cobbler doing shoe repairs, who lived to be 97 years old. My great grandmother had a twin sister Katie, and lived to the age of 76. They had 7 children. I tried to organize the photos from the oldest to the youngest. Of course, some of the photos overlap.

Carson Family
The Carson family originally came from the Orange State of Ireland according to information I have. Charles Jones Carson (Rob's great grandfather) was married to Elizabeth Thompson who was born in Glasgow, Scotland. They had 8 children: Albert, Robert, Donald, John (Rob's grandfather), Jennie, Bessie (Elizabeth), Edna and Billy.

The Vernon family has been traced back for generations. I have the information somewhere in all my genealogy papers. I'll add more information when I find the papers.

Lang Family
This is Rob's great-grandparent's family. They came to the US when his great grandmother Nellie Mearns (I have discovered that Nellie's middle name was probably Mitchell, not Mearns) Lang was 13 years old from Edinburgh, Scotland. Nellie was born on August 26, 1861, so the family moved around 1874. (So I was told by family members. However, since then, I think I have found different info on Ancestry.com. I will try to verify and change this info if appropriate.) These photos were labeled hence we know their names but not their relationship to Nellie. The Lang family owned W & J Lang Baking Co. on 5th and French Sts. in Wilmington, DE. It was run by Neliie's brother [W]illiam and her mother [J]essie. Nellie had 8 brothers, she was the only daughter. I don't know what her father's name was but her mother's full name was Jessie Gemmell Lang (Gemmell probably being her mother's maiden name). Jessie died in 1881 before Nellie married the same year.

Big Love (2006–2011)
Episode List
Season 5
16 Jan. 2011Winter
After restful post-election days in the wilderness, reality hits the Henricksons on their return to Salt Lake City. At Home Plus, Bill's attempts to bolster morale in the wake of his polygamist revelation fall on mostly deaf ears, and he faces an uphill battle for his political life even before the swearing-in. At home, he tries to assuage the concerns of his wives and kids, who face psychological - and physical - threats around town. To stem this growing tide of ill will, Bill decides to hold an open house for his 40,000 constituents, some of whom may actually ...
23 Jan. 2011A Seat at the Table
Bill's attempt to stage a "safety net" meeting for polygamist leaders is hindered by Alby and Home Plus objectors. In an effort to find common ground with her mother, Barb asks Nancy to join her at a symposium focusing on mother-daughter Mormon challenges. Nicki learns the extent of Adaleen's isolation; Marge despairs over the quandary involving Ana and Goran; and Cara Lynn impresses her math teacher, and Greg.
30 Jan. 2011Certain Poor Shepherds
The Henricksons try to put on a unified face during Christmas, but are tested amidst numbing revelations from Barb, Marge and Adaleen. Meanwhile, Lura takes drastic measures in response to Alby's zealous efforts to "purify" the compound; Lois drifts towards the deep end; Bill tries to soften up a senator; Ben bonds with Heather; and Cara Lynn looks for answers about her father.
6 Feb. 2011The Oath
With his swearing-in ceremony only days away, Bill searches for ways to overcome the anti-polygamist sentiment swelling among state officials. Meanwhile, Barb's strategic attendance at a First Ladies' fashion show triggers lingering resentment between Nicki and Margene - and between Barb and Nicki. Rhonda and exiled polygamist Verlan try to shake down Alby; Margene and Pam find their niche with Goji Blast and Michael Sainte; Nicki pushes for Cara Lynn's adoption; Lois learns the source of her ailment; Ben rewards Heather for her sensitivity.
13 Feb. 2011The Special Relationship
Bill makes a deal in the Senate, but finds new obstacles to his livelihood being raised by LDS officials. Fed up with interning, Barb considers a dramatic life change that could have far-ranging consequences for the family. A legal obstacle hinders Bill and Nicki's efforts to adopt Cara Lynn. Margene preaches the Goji gospel; Rhonda encourages Verlan to do Alby's bidding; Lois longs for her old life with Frank; Don takes another hit for Bill.
20 Feb. 2011D.I.V.O.R.C.E.
Barb capitulates on Bill's marital plans, but not on her hopes to attain the priesthood. To shore up her case, she enlists ex-Mormon feminist Renee Clayton, much to her mother Nancy's chagrin. Meanwhile, Bill faces new impeachment pressure in the senate, and scrambles for new clients in the wake of LDS boycotts of his stores. With her eye on a new prize, Nicki chafes at the status quo. Margene eyes a sponsor for her pro-polygamy children's rally; Cara Lynn puts in extra hours with her tutor, Greg; Alby vows to combat Safety Net with a purification ...
27 Feb. 2011Til Death Do Us Part
Bill eyes a wedding as a chance to reseal his commitment to his three wives, though Barb remains skeptical. In the meantime, Nicki looks to take full advantage of her special day. Alby makes a game-changing power play; Lois resists Barb's vision of her future; Marge is cautioned about the financial pitfalls of Goji Blast; Cara Lynn brings a guest to the theater; Heather changes her mind about Ben.
6 Mar. 2011The Noose Tightens
Bill looks to Alby's past in an effort to thwart his ambitions, leading Alby to concoct yet another diabolical scheme to bring down the Henricksons. Meanwhile, in the wake of a festering investigation into Bill's private life, an incredulous Barb finds herself targeted as her husband's accomplice. Nicki's "rescue" of a skittish compound wife complicates life at home, and lands her in hot water at Juniper Creek. Stung by an assertion by Michael Sainte, Margene finds herself at the crossroads in her business with Goji Blast. Don suffers emotional ...
13 Mar. 2011Exorcism
With Alby on the run and posing an imminent threat, the Henrickson family finds itself in lockdown mode. Frazzled though not incapacitated after a near-death experience, Nicki decides to break Cara Lynn's "dependencies" by enrolling her in boarding school. Barb spars with Bill about her new church's stance on polygamy, and her commitment to the family. Lois begs Frank to rescue her from confinement; Margene vows to repay Pam for her Goji investment; Ben (Douglas Smith) and Bill debate what to do about Rhonda.
20 Mar. 2011Where Men and Mountains Meet
With the specter of jail time looming, Bill charts out contingency plans for the family, while orchestrating a last-minute preemptive referendum on the senate floor. Meanwhile, Barb goes forward with her plan to join a reform-minded church; Margene contemplates taking a hiatus to serve as a volunteer abroad; and Nicki despairs being left alone as her family splinters. Cara Lynn considers a return to her roots; Ben enlists Rhonda to help him win over Heather; Don shares some bad news with Bill about Home Plus. As Easter arrives, the Henricksons receive heartening ...

Public opinion snapshot: No conservative mandate
One of the best polling and political analysts in the country, Ruy Teixeira, is also a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress. I thought readers would be interested in his analysis of last week's election.
Experts and pundits will float many interpretations of the 2010 midterms over the next few weeks. Progressives should consider each one carefully. But the most parsimonious explanation of how 2010 unfolded in terms of lessons for progressives going forward lies in a few fundamental factors: the poor state of the economy, the abnormally conservative composition of the midterm electorate, and the large number of vulnerable seats in conservative-leaning areas. These factors are discussed in detail in my new memo with John Halpin, "Election Results Fueled by Jobs Crisis and Voter Apathy Among Progressives."
Conservatives have a different story, of course. For them, the 2010 election was all about voters embracing conservative ideas on the economy, health care, and tax cuts. But the 2010 exit polls tell a different story.
Only 23 percent of voters blamed President Barack Obama for today's economic problems. Instead, they blamed either Wall Street (35 percent) or President George W. Bush (29 percent).
Nor was the election a repudiation of the new health care reform law. Even among a midterm electorate with an abnormally conservative composition, about as many said they wanted to see the law remain as is or be expanded (47 percent) as said they wanted it repealed (48 percent).
Voters weren't embracing the conservative position on tax cuts, either. A 52 percent majority of voters wanted to either keep only the Bush tax cuts for those with less than $250,000 or let them all expire compared to 39 percent who wanted to keep all the tax cuts.
These data suggest that conservatives should quickly disabuse themselves of the notion that they have a mandate. They don't.
— Ruy Teixeira is a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress.
13 Responses to Public opinion snapshot: No conservative mandate
For all the good it will do I forwarded the results of five polls to the leadership of the GOP last night. I pointed out that there is no mandate to change the health care bill or to extend the Bush cuts for the rich. I will drop dead if any of them actually read the e-mails or reply to me. What a fine mess we find ourselves post election. Meet the new boss…same as the old boss.
I forgot to add this to the above. I came across this fantastic quote that certainly applies to the situation we find ourselves in today.
'When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.' Maya Angelou.
"Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber." http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/e2y3j/those_who_are_too_smart_to_engage_in_politics_are/
These data suggest that conservatives should quickly disabuse themselves of the notion that they have a mandate. They don't.
More importantly, democrats in office need to disabuse themselves of this notion.
I think Republicans are claiming a mandate that started with their claim to Ted Kennedys old Senate seat and moving on to the mid-terms where they have scored unprecedented victories throughout the country in governor races, state house and senate races and in U.S. Houses races. The only place Democrats dodged the big bullet was in the Senate where they held on by a narrow margin that could have gone either way. If Democrats had won under the same circumstances I would have considered it a mandate. If you look at the total of the Republican victory it is shocking for us Progressives and Global Warming advocates. Truly shocking!
Keep In Mind, Please!
I apologize if the following is a point already mentioned in the post itself. I only perused the post because I got the sense of its important message.
But here is a point that (it seems to me) is often overlooked but is entirely real and vital:
If a citizenry — an electorate — has been deceived, misinformed, and manipulated, then even IF polls and votes indicate that there is a "voter mandate" on something, such a mandate loses a great deal, and perhaps all, of its meaning, importance, justification, and so-called "mandate".
For example, if I vote against a party that wants to address global warming, or against a specific policy to address global warming, because I don't "believe in" the reality of global warming, because the media I watch are confusing me, misleading me, lying to me, and not even sharing with me what 97 percent of the relevant scientists say, then any "mandate" that can be attributed to me on that topic is nil, null, and void. I'm not joking. I'm being quite honest and entirely reasonable. In fact, this is a necessary conclusion, unless we all want to make terribly misinformed and dangerous mistakes.
To be clear, this is not to say that leaders should not "care" about voters. Not at all. Instead, it's to say that a leader should not blindly follow what a voter thinks if he or she (the leader) knows better and also has reason to believe that the voter has been misled, lied to, manipulated, and so forth. If a son asks a parent for $1000 because the son wants to buy some street drugs, because the pusher told him they'd make him feel great and help him grow to 7 feet tall, is the $1000 request a mandate from the son to the parent, or is it even something that would be good for the parent to fulfill?
Because of this point, and because of the OBVIOUS mess and misinformation in the media during this recent election, talk of any "mandate" is really nonsense. Indeed, the best thing that we could do (on this whole question of "mandates") is to point out this basic point of logic, reasoning, and good sense. Consider Fox: If you lie to viewers, and deceive and confuse them, and if you manipulate them or fuel those who do, and then if you turn around and call the votes that your viewers make a "mandate", you're committing basic nonsense. It's total nonsense. It's basic total nonsense. So who should we send back to Elementary School? Glenn? Bill? Sean? Rupert? All of them?!
Their credibility is nil, but I think we should point these sorts of points out more directly. Trying to read through the stats in order to figure out whether there is a "mandate" in votes made by people who have been lied to, misled, and misinformed, and manipulated, is missing a key part of the argument that we should be making to, and against, the Fox folks.
Following on Jeff's points which I think can't be stressed enough, I really recommend that people who read Joe's blog here take the time to read thinkprogress.org because it's pretty clear to me that Koch etc. and AFP etc. and thus the winning GOP candidates totally scared the voters that the US was on the verge of default and so had to cut spending.
The only way to do that is to totally deregulate (oh and cut loose the poor, the sick, the elderly, the unemployed, the underpriviledged etc.) and even so they will force a financial crisis.
But I am going to click the link to the poll to see what else is there and try to do some pushback and get others to do so, because I thought a mandate was something you only got with a landslide and in my area the margins were razor thin, and the folks who voted R were totally misled.
Because this all is in the right wing media echo chamber (stealing the concept from Maddow) the mandate must be true because all of the Tea Partiers tell each other that it is.
You mean both of them said that to each other? I'll buy that, they probably did.
Lack of a voter mandate didn't stop Republicans from advancing any of their non-mandated causes, even when they were out of power in both houses of Congress. What has changed to make anyone think lack of a mandate will stop then now that they have the House? One can hope the Democrats will grow some balls and start fighting back, but do they have the will to do so?
More likely than the Dems fighting back is the Republicans struggling with divisions within the party. Even so, will Dems even have the courage to exploit those situations?
There is something that trumps all these nice statistics. That is the fact conservatives own the megaphone. Without a means to carry this information to the public, no one will ever know.
Rush Limbaugh reaches up to 20 million listeners on over 600 radio stations. Fox "News" has perhaps as many viewers. Then there are the other mimic right wing media megaphones.
The rancor in Washington is driven almost completely by this right wing media propaganda machine that uses hot button issues to get people to vote Republican. Then these Republican Congress people lower corporate and individual taxes and do away with profit eating regulation put in place to protect the public. That is the real target of right wing propaganda – certainly not the often silly hot button issues.
Truth is not a factor on this right media. Viewers and listeners take what they hear on faith – much like a religious follower. These citizens have no other source of information on government and politics. Limbaugh, O'Riely, Hannity and Beck are their only "teachers" warning them of the demise of their nation unless they vote Republican.
A clever, pervasive propaganda machine can take down a nation- even an educated one. Its happened in modern history.
It's still a couple of months before the new members take their seats. This is the time to pressure the lame ducks into taking revolutionary action. As Wonhyo @10 said, if they don't, then nothing much may get done (including rollbacks) the next two years because, for one thing, the Tea Partiers and the GOP are not going to get along. Just not sure we've heard the last of factions like the "911 Insiders" still aching to get at Dubya.
All the while, healthcare reform and the money the Obama Administration has pumped into clean energy and related projects will become more apparent in pocketbooks and quality of life. Unfortunately it's not happening fast enough because Big Coal, OPEC and the rest of Big Oil have for decades busied themselves sabotaging plans for any alternative infrastructure. The Obama Administration may only be buying time at this point. Is it time to ask the question?
Is it too late, Mr. President?
Just realized that my comment at #4 might be unclear. Let me do it over:
These data suggest that conservatives should quickly disabuse themselves of the notion that they have a mandate. They don't.
More importantly, Democrats in office need to disabuse themselves of the notion that the Republicans have a mandate.
This election was decided mostly by how many progressives stayed home. Republicans won these elections with only 20-30% of the voting-eligible population, in most cases.
