BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
Publishing | Variety speaks with Madrigall President Antoine Gallimard about how the French publishing giant and its holdings (Gallimard, Casterman, Flammarion and Futuropolis, among them) handle the film rights to their many graphic novels, and the popularity of comics as source material: "I think that the French publishing and film industries feed on, complement, and ultimately do help each other. The number of films adapted from books that are produced every year in France is eloquent testimony to this." Noting that, "In recent years, there's a real feeding-frenzy for graphic novels, comic books," Gaillimard says, "Comedy, in all its variants, is the most popular of adapted materials." [Variety]
Legal | An Algerian judge has made a preliminary recommendation of 18 months' imprisonment for cartoonist Djamel Ghanem for drawing a cartoon, which was never published, that government officials deemed offensive. In an odd twist, Ghanem was sued by his own newspaper, La Voix de l'Oranie, which tends to favor the current administration, and as a result, he has been blackballed by the Algerian media. The cartoon is critical of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's bid for a fourth term but doesn't even depict the president — it shows two people in conversation, comparing the fourth term to baby diapers — Ghanem said the point was that Algerians were treated like children. Pressed by the district attorney to admit the cartoon was insulting to the Bouteflika, Ghanem insisted that wasn't his intention. [Global Voices Online]
MAD joins in the end-of-the-year insanity next week as only the venerable humor magazine can, with its rundown of the "20 Dumbest People, Events and Things of 2013." It's a list that includes the best and brightest — or is that worst and dimmest? — from the worlds of politics, sports and entertainment, from President Obama and the U.S. Congress to Miley Cyrus and Paula Deen.
Coming in at No. 6, as MAD has reveals exclusively to ROBOT 6, is Manti Te'o's dead 'girlfriend." As you may recall, the former Notre Dame linebacker rose to prominence not because of his Heisman Trophy candidacy but for the revelation that his girlfriend, who had battled leukemia only to die after a car crash, never existed. It turns out she was the creation of one of Te'o's acquaintances, who admitted to orchestrating the hoax.
"It's unclear if Te'o was in on the scam," the magazine writes, "or just a gullible romantic who got got catfished — but either way, the whole thing is hard to swallow."
The full list can be found in MAD #525, which goes on sale Dec. 18.
Awards | Jamie Smart's Fish-Head Steve has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, the first comic to make the list in the six-year history of the award. The prize recognizes the funniest book for children in two age categories, and the final judges will be 200 children from schools around the United Kingdom. [Forbidden Planet]
Comics | Eric Margolis reports on the difficulties U.K. creator Darren Cullen had in getting his Kickstarter-funded comic (Don't) Join the Army printed. The format was unusual, so some shops simply couldn't do it, but printers also took exception to the comic itself, which was an "anti-recruitment leaflet" satirizing the British army. [Comic Book Legal Defense Fund]
DC Comics hasn't had a particularly good run of things lately. To be frank, the publisher has done blown it a number of times over the past few years. But don't worry, DC fans — I'm sure it'll soon be Marvel's turn, as the two rivals seem to trade off every five years or so.
I've been calling out DC for the past couple of weeks, but that doesn't mean everything it does strikes me as wrong. It's important to declare shenanigans, but it's also important to recognize when a publisher does something that's good for comics.
So here are six things DC is doing right:
1. Digital comics: Legends of the Dark Knight and Adventures of Superman are digital-first anthology series that feature some excellent creators (from Jeff Parker and Chris Samnee to J.M. DeMatteis and Jeff Lemire) producing completely accessible and entertaining stories that stand on their own; no college course on the New 52 or Crisis on Infinite Earths required. Yes, these stories are out of continuity — so for a percentage of readers, they don't count. That's a mistake, because there's nothing wrong with a straight-up superhero tale that exists on its own terms. These two anthologies are the gems of DC's digital-first line-up, but Batman '66 and Batman: Li'l Gotham also offer fantastical takes on the iconic Caped Crusader that are bright and fun. For those exhausted by the angsty versions of serious stories, you owe it to yourself to check these out.
Acclaimed cartoonist Al Jaffee, whose work for MAD Magazine spans nearly six decades, has donated his archives to Columbia University's Rare Book and Manuscript Library.
According to the press release from Columbia University Libraries/Information Services, the archives will arrive in several stages, beginning with Jafee's artwork for Esquire and Playboy, notebooks of ideas for the Harvey Kurtzman-edited magazine Humbug and Timely Comics' Ziggy Pig and Silly Seal, press clippings, fan mail, photocopies of strips never submitted for publication, photographs, biographical material for Al Jaffee's Mad Life and more."I feel privileged and honored to have my work added to Columbia University's collections," Jaffee, widely known for the long-running MAD Fold-In feature, said in a statement. "Columbia is a jewel in the crown of New York City; keeping my work here is my way of giving something back to the city in appreciation for all that was given to me."
The 92-year-old Jaffee, who lives with his wife Joyce in Providence, Massachusetts, still contributes to MAD.
Established in 2005, Columbia University Libraries/Information Services began its push to acquire special collections of comics work following the donation in 2011 of Chris Claremont's archives.
Passings | Bob Clarke, one of the original artists for MAD Magazine, passed away Sunday of complications from pneumonia. He was 87. Best known for his "Believe It or NUTS!" parodies, Clarke actually began his career at age 15 as an uncredited assistant on the Ripley's Believe It or Not comic strip before joining the Army, where he worked for Stars and Stripes. At MAD, he also drew "Spy vs. Spy" for many years, and illustrated the famed January 1961 back cover congratulating John F. Kennedy on his election (the front featured Richard Nixon; the editors were hedging their bets). [The News Journal]
Creators | Charles Soule talks about taking the reins of DC Comics' Swamp Thing: "Swamp Thing isn't just a horror book by any means — it's also a book about superhero action and philosophy and humor. This is a title that's open to just about anything." Soule's plans include new supporting characters and short story arcs that build up to a bigger structure. [USA Today]
Conventions | The Orange County Register previews WonderCon, which returns this weekend to Anaheim, California, and selects some of the highlights from the programming schedule, including panels dedicated to "Batman: The Zero Year," The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, and Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing. [Orange County Register]
Conventions | The Los Angeles Times wraps up last weekend's Fabletown and Beyond. [Hero Complex]
Conventions | The Detroit News runs down the upcoming slate of Michigan conventions dedicated to comics, anime, fantasy/sci-fi, horror and collectibles, ranging from Shuto Con to Kids Read Comics! to Detroit FanFare. [The Detroit News]

If I had $15, I'd buy the leading contender for best ongoing series this year, Saga #10 (Image, $2.99). I loved the last issue focusing on the Will, but I'm excited at the prospect this one teases of Izabel returning – although in a red-tinged, seemingly evil demeanor. After that I'd get another creator-owned gem with Francesco Francavilla's The Black Beetle #2 (Dark Horse, $3.99). I love the latitude Dark Horse is giving Francavilla in the design packaging here – that cover is something special — and luckily, the insides have the promise of being even better given what happened last issue. Third and last in my $15 haul this week would be Dark Horse Presents #21 (Dark Horse, $7.99). Criminally underrated and consciously mind-blowing, this issue promises three new serials debuting plus a collaboration between Neil Gaiman and Paul Chadwick about alien saucers. Why isn't this a top-selling book?
If I had $30, I'd make it a Dark Horse trifecta with Conan the Barbarian #13 (Dark Horse, $3.50). How does Brian Wood do it, finding such great artists that no one else knows about like Mirko Colak? This time, Conan tries to conquer the desert. Then I'd do a Marvel trifecta: Avengers #6 (Marvel, $3.99), Nova #1 (Marvel, $3.99) and Thor: God of Thunder #5 (Marvel, $3.99). Avengers has seemingly the origin of my formerly most favorite D-list hero in the Marvel Universe, Captain Universe – until she upgraded to the A-list as an Avenger. Then Nova has a spirited, seemingly kid-friendly romp by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness. Then Thor … Thor. This thoroughly dark and mythic story has made Jason Aaron's beard even more ominous than before.
If I could splurge, I'd get Alter-Ego #115 (TwoMorrows, $8.95). Normally a magazine about comics, in this issue they collect some lost gems – namely the stereoscopic comics (3-D!) – of the 1950s. 3-D glasses included, this issue contains work by Joe Simon, Jack Kirby, Joe Kubert, Curt Swan (!!), George Tuska and more. Truly a highlight of the week.

If I had $15 this week, it'd be all first issues, all the time. Being a Trek fan, I couldn't resist IDW's Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness #1 ($3.99), offering some glimpses into the new movie for the first time outside of the trailer, for one thing. Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's Young Avengers #1 (Marvel, $2.99) looks to be equally unmissable judging from both the previews and interviews heralding its launch, and also Gillen's performance on Iron Man and other titles recently, so that'd make it in there, too. Finally, I'd grab The Answer #1 (Dark Horse, $3.99), Dennis Hopeless and Mike Norton's new superhero/mystery series. I've been back and forth about Hopeless in the past (loved his X-Men: Season One; hate his Avengers Arena), but the hook for this one looks pretty solid and Norton's work is always nice to gaze at.
Should I suddenly find myself with an additional $15, I'd add some current favorites to the pile: Chris Roberson and Dennis Calero's pulp dystopia Masks #3 (Dynamite, $3.99), Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opena's Avengers #3 (Marvel, $3.99, and less a "favorite" than an "undecided about, but was surprised by how much I appreciated that second issue") and Greg Rucka and Matt Southworth's Stumptown #5 (Oni, $3.99). After the fourth issue of Stumptown, I'd pick that last one up even if Rucka had accidentally forgotten to write any dialogue in there. Did you see that last issue? Man …
Were I to splurge, it'd almost feel greedy after this week of bounty. Nonetheless, I'd grab The Spider, Vol. 1: Terror of The Zombie Queen (Dynamite, $19.99), the collected edition of the first storyline from David Liss' revival of the pulp hero that I loved based on the first issue but somehow fell off of before the end of that first arc for reasons that escape me. Definitely curious to revisit it.

If I had $15, my Wednesday haul would start with Glory #30 (Image, $3.99). This series has been great, and since Kris Anka began doing covers, it's gone to very great. Now, seeing New Yorker cartoonist Roman Muradov coming in to do a story makes it potentially even more, well, great. I'm psyched to see Glory face off against her sister, and Campbell's depiction of both has been mesmerizing. Next I'd pick up Comeback #1 (Image, $3.50), featuring letterer Ed Brisson making his major writing debut. The cover design by Michael Walsh is impeccable, and the concept of time traveling for grieving loved ones is a fascinating concept. Next up, I'd get a Marvel double – Wolverine and the X-Men #21 (Marvel, $3.99) and Hawkeye #4 (Marvel, $2.99). This carnie issue of Wolverine and the X-Men is intriguing; it's going out on a limb, but after what Jason Aaron and Nick Bradshaw have done so far, I trust them. With Hawkeye, I'm slightly hesitant to pick up an issue knowing David Aja isn't drawing it, but Javier Pulido has the potential to be an ideal temporary substitute.
If I had $30, I'd look back on my $15 and reluctantly put Hawkeye #4 back on the shelf to free up money for Derek Kirk Kim's Tune, Book 1: Vanishing Point (First Second, $16.99). Man oh man, do I love Kim's work, and seeing the previews for this online makes me see a honing of the artist's style akin to the way Bryan O'Malley did between Lost At Sea and Scott Pilgrim. Count me in.
If I could splurge, I'd take a chance on the anthology Digestate (Birdcage Bottom Books, $19.95). I'm no foodie like C.B. Cebulski, but I like food and I like anthologies so this is right up my alley; especially when the chefs include Jeffrey Brown and Liz Prince. Where's my order?
As a kid growing up in Georgia in the 1970s and 1980s, my first exposure to Jack Davis' art was his University of Georgia Bulldog sports art. As I grew older, of course, I learned about the far-reaching variety of illustrations and stories he has produced throughout his career. Recently I discovered that cartoonist Patrick Dean had curated an exhibition of Davis' career for the Georgia Museum of Art in Athens: "Beyond the Bulldog: Jack Davis," which runs through Jan. 6.
Soon after the exhibit's Nov. 3 opening, I lined up Dean for an interview, in which he discusses how much Davis' family is involved with, and interested in, orchestrating exhibits of the artist's work. He also talks about what makes Davis' work resonate with him.
Tim O'Shea: How did you come to be involved as the curator of the project?
Patrick Dean: I majored in graphic design here at the University of Georgia, with a focus on illustration. In my senior year of 1998, Jack Davis, a UGA alumnus, visited the graphic design building. He stopped by a few classes, told stories, passed out sketches, etc. Ridiculously pleasant guy. My illustration professor, Alex Murawski, knew I was a big fan of Davis's work. From that year onwards the department started the Jack Davis Distinguished Visiting Artist Lecture Series. The graphic design department would invite illustrators and cartoonists to visit, talk to the classrooms, and then wind up with a big talk in a lecture hall. They've had people like Sergio Aragones, Arnold Roth, Anna Kunz, Mike Luckovich, to visit, and every year Davis would be in attendance. After I graduated in 1998, Murawski would always keep me in the loop on these talks.

If I had $15, I'd make up for lost time and get the first collection of Mind the Gap (Image, $9.99). Rodin Esquejo is an absolute gem in my opinion, and Jim McCann looks to have crafted a story with some definite suspenseful power. After that I'd get James Stokoe's Godzilla: Half Century War #3 (IDW, $3.99). This has become one of my favorite serials to come out, which for a work-for-hire book is tough. Instead of doing a story in service of the concept, it uses the concept to create a great story – and Stokoe really loves Godzilla and puts a face to those humans who oppose him. Finally, I'd get the free Cyber Force #1 (Image/Top Cow, $0) because, well, it's free. I have an unabashed love for the original Cyber Force, and previous reboots haven't really gelled the way I wanted to. I'm excited to see what Matt Hawkins brings to this, and I'm glad Silvestri is involved even if only on covers and designs.
If I had $30, I'd first stop for Glory #29 (Image, $3.99). I tend to read this series in built-up bursts, and I'm overdue to catch up. I like the monstrous rage Ross Campbell brings to this, and seeing Joe Keatinge capitalize on the artist he has to create a broader story is thrilling. After that I'd get a Marvel three-pack in Hawkeye #3 (Marvel, $2.99), Daredevil #19 (Marvel, $2.99) and AvX Consequences #2 (Marvel, $3.99). I'd buy David Aja illustrating a phone book – seeing him getting a great story is icing on the cake.
If I could splurge, I'd lash onto Charles Burns' The Hive (Pantheon, $21.95). I'm reluctantly late to the game when it comes to Charles Burns, but X'ed Out clued me into his awesome cartooning power. After devouring his previous work, I'm excited to read The Hive as it first comes out. I don't quite know what to expect, but after finally coming around to Burn's skill I'm up for pretty much anything. Continue Reading »
Creators | Alan Moore will make a rare convention appearance in September — his first in 25 years, according to this article — at the inaugural Northants International Comics Expo in Northamptonshire, England. To attend Moore's hour-long talk on writing comics or the hour-long question-and-answer session, convention-goers are required to donate graphic novels to the Northamptonshire Libraries, which will have a table at the event.

Creators | Mark Waid gets the NPR treatment, as Noah J. Nelson interviews him about his digital comics initiatives. "I got news for you: I've been doing this for 25 years, and this is the hardest writing I've ever had to do," Waid says of creating digital comics. [NPR]
Publishing | Abrams ComicArts editorial director Charles Kochman discusses the publisher's spring lineup, which will include William Stout's Legends of the Blues, Darryl Cunningham's What the Frack, a history of Bazooka Joe comics, and a Will Eisner artbook written by Paul Levitz. [ICv2]
Conventions | ReedPOP has officially announced it will fold the New York Anime Festival into New York Comic Con, rather than continue them as separate events held at the same location. "This move has nothing to do with our loyalty or commitment to the anime community and everything to do with the growth and identity of New York Comic Con as a leading pop culture event," ReedPOP's Lance Fensterman said in a statement. "NYCC embraces all elements of the pop culture world, including anime, and we have evolved to a point where the existence of NYAF outside our universe is almost a contradiction. We will be better able to serve the anime community from within the NYCC infra-structure rather than have a show which is separate and which will always be dwarfed by everything that New York Comic Con represents and is." [press release]
Passings | Cartoonist Jim Unger, whose one-panel comic Herman served as an inspiration for Gary Larson's The Far Side, passed away Monday at his home in British Columbia. He was 75. The comic appeared in about 600 newspapers worldwide from 1974 until Unger's retirement in 1992. [The Daily Cartoonist]
This weekend's Boston Comic Con has all the virtues of a small show and most of the virtues of a large one as well. The headliners of this year's show, which takes place Saturday and Sunday at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, are Mad Magazine artists Al Feldstein, Al Jaffee, and Paul Coker. That alone would get me onto the T, but there's plenty of talent for all tastes: Peter Bagge, Simon Bisley, Becky Cloonan, Greg Horn, Jamal Igle, David Petersen, Jill Thompson, and Skottie Young are among the featured guests, while the Artists Alley will be graced by, among others Ming Doyle, Jarrett Krosoczka (creator of the all-ages Lunch Lady books), Adventure Time team Braden Lamb and Shelli Paroline, and local favorites the Boston Comics Roundtable. There's a solid lineup of panels, and Marvel Comics will be doing portfolio reviews.
The nice thing about a small con like this is that it's more relaxed than a big con. It's easier to talk to artists at their tables and to browse the work of new creators if you don't have the crowd at your back. If you're in the area, it's well worth checking out. I highly recommend taking public transit if you can–street parking is difficult and the garages are expensive–but I wouldn't let that stop me from coming in if a car was my only option. The Pru garage offers significant discounts if you spend ten bucks in the restaurants or shops there. The upside is that unlike a lot of convention centers, the Hynes is located in an actual urban neighborhood with lots of interesting restaurants and shops, so you're not stuck eating $9 turkey sandwiches for lunch.
See you at the con!

Very good.
Really like it, got a good feeling to it, feels powerful and plays amazing.
Only problem is at some part it can get just a tad cluttered with the sounds
otherwise the quality is nice and crisp.
Keep up the good work.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Wow, this is really epic and has a great persona to it that I like!
It tells a story and takes you on a journey, thank you for the great experience :)
Reminds me of the Mass Effect soundtrack (what sound effects are used, not the way it sounds)
Thank you very much! I always appreciate a comment like yours, It makes composing so much more satysfying : )

A man has been charged with assaulting a child, who remains
in Dunedin Hospital with serious burns.
Detective Senior Sergeant Kallum Croudis, of the Dunedin CIB,
confirmed police were investigating an incident involving a
3-year-old boy who received burn injuries.
Police were alerted to the incident, which occurred at a West

A St John spokesman said the ambulance service did not
receive a 111 call about the incident.
However, St John sent an ambulance to the West Otago Health
Centre in Tapanui.
The child was later transferred to Dunedin by the Otago
Regional Rescue Helicopter.
The boy had ''severe burns to his body'', the St Johns
spokesman said.

Lorna Pierre received mail addressed to her late husband in early September urging her to fill out forms so she could win an adjustable bed from Easy Rest Adjustable Bed in Bristol, Penn.
What happened after that has prompted Pierre, a Waterford resident, to come forward to warn ôother gullible old ladiesö about what she believes is a scam.
To learn more about scams aimed at the elderly, visit www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2008/april/seniofraud_041008.
Pierre, 81, mailed in the slips to win the adjustable bed, filling out her name, address and phone.
Shortly after that, she received a call from a man saying he wanted to sell Pierre a bed.
She agreed to meet with him in her home.
ôHe said it would cost $6,000 and I laughed,ö said Pierre. ôHe reduced the price.ö
She wound up paying $3,100 total for the bed, charging it to a credit card.
Pierre was told she had five days to make up her mind after receiving the bed.
The bed was delivered on Sept. 21. And on Sept. 23, Pierre called the company and told them she didnĺt want it.
Pierre got nowhere with her complaint, saying officials told her they would give her a $500 refund.
She said, ôI asked them who would come and get it and they said, ĹThatĺs your problem.ĺö
Pierre concluded, ôIĺve been scammed.ö
The man who met with Pierre at her home was a ônice old man with a spiel.ö Others who have been through a contour bed sales pitch have called it high-pressure.
Tom Fox of Easy Rest defended his companyĺs products. He then checked records for Pierreĺs name and said even though she had called within five days after delivery, the return time had lapsed.
Fox said he would get in touch with her, but Pierre said has not received a callback.
An online review indicated many have complained about contour bed sales, including one company called Craftmatic. Another website indicated that Craftmatic may have changed its name to Easy Rest.
Information from The Consumerist online sounded much like Pierreĺs situation.
The consumer feedfack website recounted in 2008 how people were told they could win a free Craftmatic bed, ôbut all youĺre likely to win is a salesman worming his way into your home.ö
An ôInside Editionö investigation revealed high-pressure tactics used by Craftmatic bed salesmen targeting the elderly.
ôTypical sales tactics involve starting with a high price, $5,000 and then using a series of phony price drops to get the person to buy today. The salespeople say the bed is so great that it will solve acid reflux and heart disease. And at a seminar where you learn to be a better Craftmatic bed salesperson, a hidden camera showed instructor Carolyn Nilson talking about the lengths she would go to close a deal, saying ĹIĺve done it all. Dug checks out of the garbage that they didnĺt shred ů reactivated credit cards, gone to the bank.ĺ Most contests are just Ĺlead-generationĺ opportunities for the businesses. Warn elderly friends and family about the sleazy tactics of the ĹCrapmaticĺ sales force.ö
Fox dismissed the online complaints, saying many companies have complaints issued against them.
Pierre has contacted a lawyer.

Stock with the rest of the series.
Not much of a story to this installment, but all the expected references to class consciousness exist. The opening scene (starring Harley Raine, Joel Lawrence and Rod Fontana) is the best, with good, hard d.p. action. Heaven Leigh pans for gold and gapes wide for Herschel Savage and Dave Hardman; and Raine returns to suck beer off all the black guys in the cast's dicks. They burp and fuck her in the ass, blowing all over her face. Fontana's portrayal of a "white trash husband" is disturbingly excellent, and there's an awesome punk rock song over the opening credits.

Learn About the Threats in Your Area:
Tallahassee, FL 32303
Fleas & Ticks
Fire Ants
Lawn Pests
Stinging Insects
Termites Threat Level
Termites pose an intense threat to homes in our area year-round. Across the southern half of the country, every yard in a suburban neighborhood will likely have at least one and probably multiple colonies of subterranean termites.
Ants Threat Level
This time of year, populations of our local ant species including Argentine Ants, Pharaoh Ants and Odorous House Ants are at their peak and in search of food and water for survival. Homes often provide a great option and a minor problem can rapidly become a major infestation. These pesky pests are extremely difficult for homeowners to control on their own as each species requires a different method of treatment.
Mosquitoes Threat Level
The local population of mosquitoes is at its peak this time of year and these pests are much more than just an incredible nuisance to residents. They present a significant health risk due to diseases they carry like West Nile Virus and Encephalitis which can be transmitted to your family and pets through a single bite.
Fleas & Ticks Threat Level
During the warmest months, flea and tick populations are at their peak in our area. These pests reproduce very quickly and they have become increasingly resistant to common treatment methods which allows the breeding cycle to continue. Additionally, they pose a significant health risk to both humans and pets as any warm-blooded host will do.
Fire Ants Threat Level
Fire ant populations are at their highest this time of year. Keep an eye out for their signature mounds as wandering too close a nest can result in multiple stings from multiple ants in just a matter of seconds. In addition to their painful stings, fire ants can pose a real danger to those who suffer from allergic reactions.
Lawn Pests Threat Level
Florida's hot weather and lush foliage provides the perfect conditions for lawn pests like chinch bugs, grubs, aphids and mites to thrive. These insects are the most active and at the highest population levels this time of year. They can cause significant damage, even killing lawns and plants in severe cases.
Stinging Insects Threat Level
The local populations of stinging insects like wasps, hornets and yellow jackets are at their highest level this time of year. They present a real danger to residents as attacks send over 500,000 people to the emergency room each year. These pests are very territorial and will attack in large numbers if they feel threatened often resulting in multiple stings by multiple insects in a matter of seconds.
Rodents Threat Level
Rodents like house mice, Norway rats and roof rats are a year-round problem in our area. They can enter your home through almost any opening or crack and reproduce very quickly making them difficult to control. They also transmit bacteria, can cause structural damage and carry fleas, ticks and mites into the home when they move in.
Squirrels Threat Level
Squirrels are most active during the colder months, but can still seek shelter indoors. Signs of these unwanted guests include scratching or scurrying in your walls or attic and droppings found in pantries, along baseboards or in the attic.
Wildlife Threat Level
Furry pests like squirrels, raccoons and roof rats are most active during the colder months, but can still seek shelter indoors. Signs of these unwanted guests include scratching or scurrying in your walls or attic and droppings found in pantries, along baseboards or in the attic.

ST. LOUIS — Cardinals rookie Michael Wacha lost his no-hit bid on Ryan Zimmerman's infield single with two outs in the ninth inning, and St. Louis beat the Washington Nationals 2-0 Tuesday night to close in on the NL Central title.
Making his ninth career start, Wacha came about as close as possible to finishing off the third no-hitter in the majors this season. Instead, the Busch Stadium crowd let out a loud, collective groan as he became the third pitcher to have a bid broken up with one out to go.
Zimmerman hit a chopper just over the 6-foot-6 Wacha, and the ball bounced slowly toward shortstop. A charging Pete Kozma grabbed it with his bare hand and whipped a throw to first that was a little wide, pulling Matt Adams off the bag as Zimmerman arrived.
"I think it nicked off my glove a little bit," Wacha said.
As the ball left Zimmerman's bat, several Cardinals started to climb the dugout railing, ready to pour onto the field to celebrate. Second baseman Matt Carpenter did a little hop, all set for the final out.
But first base umpire Jeff Kellogg correctly called Zimmerman safe, and the Cardinals sagged right along with their fans.
Wacha (4-1) was pulled after Zimmerman's hit and walked off to a huge ovation. The right-hander struck out nine and walked two.
"I guess I wasn't meant to throw one tonight," he said.

I would not recommend this product. My husband and I bought this for our son for Christmas and I wish I would have gotten something else. It was a total waste of money. The aim was off and after getting back as far as they ask for it still wasn't enough.
We have never been able to get the gun to work with the game. The actual game works fine.
Don't try to set it up on your own first, you definitely need to read the directions! After that it's super easy to use and a lot of fun!
I was very hesitant to purchase this after reading the reviews, so much so that I called and checked the return policy at the store before going there. Had no trouble setting it up or calibrating the rifle. My Grandson and I played for hours with no trouble. Had an absolute blast playing.
Game does not work with larger TV's IE 60 in sony. Had to point the gun at the wall to aim at tv. Spent hours troubleshooting with tech services and was just a horrible experience.
I bought this item as a gift, but heard that it was a hit. I'll let everyone know that there can be some confusion between Big Game Hunter 2012 and Big Game Hunter Hunting Party so buyers beware of that. This game doesn't need the kinect to work, whereas, the other one does. According to the person I gave this to it comes with its own eye/camera. I purchased this online for $80 but when I got to the store it was on sale, so I was refunded the sale amount (that's why I luv ya Wal-Mart!!). Good, fun game with no complaints.
Had to stand in the kitchen for it to pick up the sensor. Returned.
I bought this game spur of the moment. I usually am a stickler for reading reviews, but I didn't this time and ended up wasting time and disappointing my kids. We have a 76 inch TV and what I think is ample space for the kinect, but we never could get the gun to calibrate. If you just can't resist how fun this game looks I would suggest hiding it from any children who might be upset if it doesn't work and testing it on your own first. Keep your receipt!
Bought this for my husband for Christmas. He was so excited and worked for hours trying to get the gun calibrated. We ended up having to take it back because once it finally worked, you had to stand so far back from the tv that you couldnt even see what you were shooting at. :-(
First one did not work properly....returned it without much fuss except for a long wait. Picked another....was a gift & haven't heard of any problems with it since then. Will say, the best price around for the gift!
Great game with awesome graphics. Can be a little tricky to calibrate and sight in the gun.
The gameplay is great.....my son beat it in 2 hours....so it was way too easy!!!

Dear friends!
i am using a VPS. I have only access to command line. can i use desktop? if yes, then which command i have to use.
explain it step by step, as I am new in using ubuntu. ubuntu virsion is 10.10
To convert web-pages into PDF file in ubuntu 10.10 is very easy way.
just press Ctrl and P and you will see a new box called Print.
In that you will see Print to file in printer section.
Now just press Print to file now you can see Name box and Output Formate
first you have select (.) PDF and and now you move to Name place and give and name to that file Exp:- xxx.pdf and now go to save in folder: place just press it to change to save on desktop. And press Print box.
After pressing print box it will convert the information in PDF formate
In the second way you have to go file --> print --> it will open print box as mention in above you have to convert the information into PDF format
In the third way you have to go file --> print preview --> it will open a new box called Ubuntu homepage| Ubuntu – Mozilla Fire fox in that you just press Print box and it will open print box and do same as mention in first part it will convert web page into PDF format.
Simply put;
Mouse pointer is frozen in Ubuntu 10.04 installation.
Kant use it at anytime!
May have happened after update failure to complete due to lockup/restart when both keyboard and mouse had stopped responding. Only mouse not working on 10.04 install now.
Also happened on a 10.10 Ubuntu install also same/similar circumstances about the same time.
I'm trying to install Kubuntu 10.10 32bit on an old machine that was previously running Windows XP: 1Mbyte RAM, 80GByte Harddrive. I can't remember what processer / motherboard it has. Graphics card, network card integrated onto the motherboard. No network connected.
Installation seems to progress normally, the disk is ejected and the machine reboots. The Kubuntu 10.10 screen appears. Next a get a screen with a window which shows a picture of a harddrive. A short time later a crossed spanner and screw driver appear next to the harddrive. Then two more pictures want to appear next to the spanner / screwdriver, but before they can come into focus the screen goes blank and I'm back at the screen with the windows and the picture of harddrive this cycle repeats indefinitely.
I looked at your forums and found one that suggested that the harddrive was full and therefore the /tmp directory could not be mounted, but Kubuntu needs only 6Gb and I have a 80Gb drive it can't be full.
I've been using Ubuntu desktop for a while and now want to explore the server side to set up a home network. I have downloaded Maverick. I would like to install LAMP and Tomcat on the same box. The box will be configured for RAID 5. Can I install both Apache and Tomcat on the same box but in their own partitions? Or should I set up virtualization for Maverick as host and install Tomcat as a guest OS? This is new territory for me but I have done a lot of reading about it. The end result is that I want to expand my development skills into web development using PHP and Java so I want a server box I can use as a test platform. Any suggestions/comments are appreciated.
When I click on web links in emails (Evolution) they always want to open in Chrome instead of Firefox. Don't know why. How can I change this? From inside Evolution(?)
About Cairo Dock
It uses Cairo / OpenGL to render graphics (many in correlation with Compiz) with full hardware acceleration. It's fully configurable and fully customisable and can be used as a taskbar too. You can easily add applets in the dock or as a desklet. It is recommended to install the PLUG-INS package (cairo-dock-plug-ins) to have access to more views, dialogs and many plug-ins and applets. Some screen shots are available : http://pics.glx-dock.org This package is the core of Cairo-Dock project.
Open a terminal window and add the following line and copy paste the following line.
sudo apt-get install udo
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cairo-dock-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock
That's it Cairo dock is installed. You can start it by going to Applications > Accessories > GLX-Dock (Cairo-Dock withOpenGPL).

Alright,here's the deal. I'm new to Ubuntu, and furthermore, I'm 15. I've been working with computers (Windows, mostly) nearly all my life. But this damned Ubuntu just won't cut me any slack!
I installed it with Wubi. Worked great. Updated 2 drivers (My Broadcom Wireless and the driver for my ATI Mobility Radeon Card). I did the system update thing which took all night to download (Around 270 files) and when I tried to log in this morning, Oh look, I go right to a black Dos-like command screen, asking me to log in.
Welcome to Ubuntu! etc,
password:(if I entered a username)
If I didn't type anything, the corrupt low memory line shows up. Then it asks me to log in.
I log in, and I come to a command prompt.
$eric or something like that.
I try "reboot", doesn't recognize the command. So I hard-boot the thing.
I come to the GRUB loader, and try the Recovery mode.
Used fix package, and It told me that it downloaded 0 files and fixed 0 packages.
What Is Docky?
Docky is an advanced shortcut bar that sits at the bottom, top, and/or sides of your screen. It provides easy access to some of the files, folders, and applications on your computer, displays which applications are currently running, holds windows in their minimized state, and more.
To install Docky from a terminal, use the commands below
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:docky-core/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docky
Docky will be added under Accessories in the Applications menu.
When you first launch Docky you will get a pretty simple dock on the bottom of your screen. You can drag and drop your application icons to rearrange them, and drag applications from the applications menu to Docky to add them. Pull an icon from Docky out and it will disappear in a puff of smoke.

Mick Harford's proposed appointment as assistant to controversial Newcastle director of football Joe Kinnear has collapsed.
Harford, who had a brief spell as a Newcastle striker during his long career, was in discussions with the Premier League club about joining up with his former Wimbledon manager Kinnear.
It had been suggested that Harford, who also worked as an assistant to Kinnear at Luton and Nottingham Forest, would concentrate on scouting the domestic transfer market, helping to identify potential targets from the lower leagues and monitoring those players sent out on loan by manager Alan Pardew.
However, news of the talks sparked claims Pardew was being undermined amid accusations that Newcastle owner Mike Ashley was installing a shadow management team above him.
Kinnear was put in charge of all football-related matters when he was controversially appointed to his new post by Ashley, but the Magpies remain the only Premier League club yet to sign a player since the end of last season.
And Harford admitted on Monday that he had decided to remain as an assistant at Championship side Millwall rather than move to St James' Park.
"After meeting with Mike Ashley and Joe Kinnear, I made the hard decision that it is not the right time for me to take up this role," Harford told Sky Sports News.
"It was an honour to be asked to work at a fantastic club and I have the utmost respect for the Newcastle United and its fans. I am currently enjoying a role helping out at Millwall, but would like to thank Mike Ashley and Joe Kinnear for the opportunity."

Company: Jill Kelly Productions
Cast: Nadia Styles, Mario Rossi, Vanessa Lane, Cindy Crawford, Larisa Fox, Dominica Leone, Mario Rossio, Kurt Lockwood, Jenna Haze, Lee Stone, Brian Surewood, Tyce Bune
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Mix of solo, girl/ boy/girl and threesome action with sexy, baby powder-fresh performers.
This combo of softly focused and quickly edited footage provides a familiar light, couples-oriented sexual euphoria for the viewer. Be it girl/girl with toys, as provided by Jenna Haze and Dominica Leone, or straightforward boy/girl, it all has that feeling that the performers may look and act hot and energetic, but they don't sweat as that would distract from their beauty. This isn't necessary a bad thing, as it is obviously made and intended for an audience that enjoys this form of shadows and soft focus.
Kudos to Vanessa Lane for obviously enjoying her inverted screw with Brian Surewood. Also to Larisa Fox for her through-the-bars blowjob delivered to Tyce Bune and Mario Rossi.

re: drinker @1 - check out the heirloom navels at Thriftway if you like a fancy orange. I remember them from last year, and eagerly sought them out this year.
they are the ones that have the ripetoyou.com stickers on them. a tower of them by the south entry.
I still say, check out the Honey Tangerines!
Oddly, they're even better if you peel them and let them sit out for a few hours. The skin hardens and when you eat it you get a crispy thin skin with juicy sweetness. Mmmmm.
mediocre flavor in my opinion.
the best orange in town is an heirloom navel from Frank's Produce in the market.

His designs are all hand-drawn. He collects old magazines from the 1920s, 1930s, etc., to get inspiration for his neon signs. He does custom signs as well. You can check out Sanders' work, bio, and press kit at Roadhouse Relics. Neon brings up all kinds of automatic images and associations: seedy hotels, burlesque joints, cocktail bars. His signs evoke those images, but much more. For instance, look at his beautiful "Fireflies In a Mason Jar".
As Roger Ebert noted in February, film festivals have become so ubiquitous that there's almost certainly one within driving distance of most film fans in the US. And lots of them are sprouting world-wide. Three years ago, I'd pitched Roger with an "FFC" piece on the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. He advised that I provide a sense of the town and its atmosphere, the people, as well as what the festival itself was like.
Of course, no one is really robbed of an Academy Award nomination. It's a gift; not a right. The balloting procedure is conducted honestly and reflects a collective opinion, which was demonstrated this year when the Academy voters had the curiosity to seek out Demian Bichir for best actor for his deeply convincing performance as a Mexican gardener in Los Angeles in "A Better Life." He wasn't on my mental list of possible candidates, but when I heard the name, I thought, "Of course! Good thinking!"

Wondering what's in store for our beloved local green spaces? A trio of experts has the forecast.
Sandra James is a landscape architect and greenways planner for the city
of Vancouver, British Columbia.
"Baby boomers will comprise 20 percent of the population by 2030. And with 67 percent of the American adult population overweight or obese, designing green spaces to walk to and through is key to maintaining physical activity and medical and mental health. We need to stop thinking of nature as places in our parks and legibly spill those ecological components into our city streets and spaces to create usable walkable park environments in everyday places."
Janette Sadik-Khan is the commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation.
"The future of public space is in our streets. From the Bronx Hub to Times Square and downtown Brooklyn, we are transforming traffic lanes into vibrant, signature places. It can start with a few planters, some benches, and a paintbrush to create a balanced and attrac-tive world-class street that invites people to stop and take in the city. As cities grapple with how to balance their limited space, it's the spaces in between buildings that will become the new living rooms."
Landscape architect Richard Haag is the founder of Seattle's Richard Haag & Associates and professor emeritus at the University of Washington.
"The epidemic of declining tree canopy in American cities has reached a critical stage; a crisis is looming. Cities are losing four mature trees for each one planted, and in Seattle, about 25 percent of the tree canopy vanished over the past 30 years. The answer is to establish a green canopy of trees branching over the open spaces between buildings, and between the sidewalk and the street."

I am using emacs and autotools, to write and compile c/c++ sources on linux.
I am using gdb via GUD in emacs.
I have defined for convenience: F7:compile, F10:gud-next, F11:gud-step, F5:gud-cont, F9:gud-tbreak, F8:gud-until, F4:gud-print.
I am mainly interested in debugging c/c++ source code on linux from emacs and I would like to get the most gdb can give.
Unfortunately I am using only F4 which prints the variable under cursor.
So my question is how do you guys debug the source code ?
What programs do you use ?
What key bindings (functionality) do you use mostly ?
What do you need the debugger to do for you ?
If you do weird stuff it doesn't matter. I would like to know everything to boost my speed a bit here.
Thanks in advance.

Wonderful and helpful. My son is very dedicated to soccer (football) and this ball is a wonderful tool in his kit. The ball not only records data to help improve, but it also provides coaching on techniques and methods to get better results. Kicking any ball for hours is a great way to improve - kicking this ball with direct feedback is amazing! It is important to read the instructions - things like how to connect, how to charge, alignment, etc. I had no problems - because, I read instructions before using anything. Now, I'm going to recommend this for all my son's teammates. The sharing feature also makes it possible to share results with coaches and trainer. ... read more

I absolutely love this watch. I have lost 40 pounds and 10 inches in the one year I've had the watch. I had to replace the watch a couple months ago because it would no longer find my heart rate. It looks like I'm in the same boat again. I'll have to go replace it for the second time I less than a year for the same issue. I love the watch, but I think I might have to go else where because I can't keep wasting money on replacing it every few months. ... read more

I have had my FitSmart for a couple years. I only recently started wearing it all the time. I decided to start tracking my activity. It will just reset it's time to 12:00, losing all my data. I can just be sitting there, walking, doesn't matter. If it decides, my info is gona and I have to sync again to get it to the correct time. Super frustrating when you're trying to track progress.

Overall perfect sports essential watch. Tells the time, then with one button shows you your Steps, Distance, Calories burned and more. Calories burned calculates the active calories and passive calories as well, so there's no more guessing.

The app also offers free training and running programs based on your goals, and has an in-ear coach that you can listen to. The Heart Rate monitor is perfect for training, and there is also a progress bar on the side of the display that shows you how close you are to hitting your goal. NOTE: The picture makes the watch look like a hard plastic type of material, however it is really silicone. Very soft against your skin. ... read more

Skip to comments.Washington Whispers: GOP voters: like a rock
Posted on 08/10/2006 9:48:23 AM PDT by new yorker 77
Many Democrats may hate the war in Iraq and itch to dump the president, but a new GOP survey shows that Republican base voters stand ready to jam the November polls to return their team to Congress. A three-page-survey memo obtained by Washington Whispers reveals that despite reports of some dissatisfaction with the economy, the war, and President Bush, 81 percent of Republican voters are "almost certain" to vote and an additional 14 percent say they are "very likely." It goes without saying that they'll vote Republican: By a margin of 84 percent to 6 percent, they will pull the GOP toggle switch in the voting booth. And here is something you don't hear very often: 88 percent of Republicans approve of how the prez is handling his job. What's it all mean? Analysts say that GOP voters are ready to dig in and play defense against the charges Democrats are tossing at Republican candidates.
The memo also helps to define what issues work for Republican candidates. The survey--officially tilted "Base Mobilization Survey Finds and Conclusions"--divided the issues into foreign and domestic. On the foreign side, it's all terrorism and war with polling that finds GOP voters back the war, worry about Democratic attacks on the fight against terrorism, and think the Patriot Act, moves to tighten the border, and even telephone surveillance are good things. And their favorite domestic issues aren't a surprise: They are pro-tax cuts, big on cultural values, and worried that Democrats want to put too much bureaucracy in healthcare. Another nonshocker: They don't like the media's war stories, thinking that they are too negative. Some 60 percent of the GOP base expresses "extremely high dissatisfaction" with the coverage of the war.
There. That's better. Most of the folks of whom you speak are not now and probably never were Republicans.
And they didn't even ask me. Only a tornado hitting me or the polling place will prevent me from voting and my vote is wasted in socialist Illinois.
We truly need your help, brother...........please, just pray for the right answer.......and go with it.
You are certifiable and have exposed your agenda here.
We'll get it back when the party learns that conservatism is the only path to power.
Now I am POSITIVE you're a Buchananite.
You're too stupid to realize that if the Democrats get Congress back that we will NEVER EVER get back in power in our lifetimes.
You're No-Nose Conservative!
Are you a No-Nose Republican? Take this handy little test and find out.
You may be a No-Nose Republican if you: Push your car over a cliff because you're mad at it for not running properly. Although your transportation situation is made far worse, you feel HAPPY because you got even with that dastardly car.
You may be a No-Nose Republican if you: Divorce your spouse for annoying you. Although your personal life is now a disaster, you feel HAPPY because you got even with that annoying spouse.
You may be a No-Nose Republican if you: Cut off your hand because you dropped an pricey object and it's now broken. Although you're crippled for life, you feel HAPPY because you got even with that stupid hand.
You may be a No-Nose Republican if you: CUT OFF YOUR NOSE, BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PIMPLE ON YOUR FACE. Although your face is now a hideous sight, you feel HAPPY because you got even with and showed that pimple.
Add your suggestion here...
You need to meet more than morons. There is NO reason to not vote GOP. This "base" upset is BS.
A few posts back you said it was OK that Republicans were taught a lesson. because we ended up with the 1994 Congress.
Now you want to lose the 2006 Congress to teach a lesson
Dude, your "tuition" is way too expensive and your "intuition" is nowhere to be seen.
LOL....we posted almost word for word the same thing. :-)
That's a little closer to reality.
Leave the GOP, please.
I do not believe he was ever a member.
So you think the big-government, diplomacy over action tendency of the Republicans is of no concern? The Dims are left, and I can deal with that. You bet it concerns me more when the only opposition party is trending Left just like the enemy.
Southerners are not suicidal or as stupid as you pretend.
We've already GOT it, and most likely without your help.
And you certainly do not speak for the BASE; I am part of the base, as are all the people on this forum.
Leave; good riddance.
They are base people pretending they are THE "base".
The word is "diverge".
And here you are trying to "teach" us unenlightened dummies all these priceless lesson.
AwesomePossum, I applaud your sentiment here, but I think beeler has a point he wants to prove, so he's willing to cut off his nose to spite his face in order to do it. His replies indicate his mind's already made up.
I am sick to death of reading this crap on FR.
If they don't like the GOP, then why don't they just LEAVE??
Why must they hang around and keep TELLING us they're leaving???
Just leave and shut up about it........LOL.
HA! I just saw that! Hilarious. GMTA and all that.
Considering the deadly results of electing Clinton apparently you have learned NOTHING.
Waaaaaaaaa...poor baby. You just aren't up for the tough choices of our time, now are you, weenie?
BTW, who placed you in charge of deciding who does and does not have a place in ANY political party, Republican or otherwise? Political parties are private organizations. Choice of party registration is a voluntary, personal one for all Americans -- indeed, all free people everywhere.
Our system is one in which citizens from all walks of life, and all belief systems, voluntarily put themselves forward for elective office at all levels of society. Voters then make their choices. Got a problem with that, bub?
If this is thread hijacking, I don't care, especially after today:
Border security is not something we want to play politics with, or something we want to be compassionate about.
Screw comprehensive, shut the borders down now.
Today proves it the Stakes are just too high to trust these 60's retreads with the safety of my children...and your children too!
And you have to wonder why they'd "pretend," don't you?
What a crock. You are not even a 1 per center. You are a democrat troll who has so far used about every cliche I've ever read on conservatives and Republicans.
What, did they hand you a pamphlet on "How to Post Like a Real Conservative?"
It will be depressing to go vote in NY this year.....elliot spitzer commercials are all ready flooding the airways....he wants to run for president some day after he runs NY into the ground, as does hillary.
correction the MSM reporting of internal polls
we can't trust ANYTHING from the MSM.
Look at Rueters,
Look at AP
Look at CNN
all have faked stories,
Atleast the Spencer v. Hillary race will be more fun than the Schumer v. Mills race was.
Then how is conservativism going to win if there are few conservatives?
LoL your logic is brilliant, brilliant I say.
The GOP can count on me every election--not that it isn't in need of some courage and stronger convictions--still far better than anything the dems have offered since 1968, the year I started voting and voting straight Republican.
Besides, here in Tennessee we have to defeat Harold Ford Jr. or rue the day.
NC is the weak link in the Southern US and is not necessarily indicative of the rest of the South. We have the highest taxes in the SE and are inundated with Yankees. You have to work hard to find conservatives, but they're still here. And then there's the yellow dogs, who have faded in much of the South, but still tend to be a majority here, at least on the local level. But even the yellow dogs tend to be conservative, if you pin them down on the issues.
I think you nailed it. We have encountered a "Seminar Poster".
Right. Some new conservative candidates will be headed to Washington DC come November as well. Keep the faith people.
So go vote for your real love, Pat Buchanan...or his toady, Tom Tancredo. But don't come on here and pretend you're a true, blue Republican and all the "Republicans you know personally" are not up for the job of protecting this nation against Islamofacism.
Border and immigration issues can be solved by people of good will. Islamofacism cannot be solved if Democrats regain power. Period. Oh, and by the way, if the Dems regain power, they will pass a GENUINE amnesty and open borders bill faster than you can squat. Republican border and immigration solutions may not be as draconian as many would like, but they sure as heck are a whole lot tougher than what people like Ned Lamont and his newest hangers on, Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters, and Al Sharpton would give us.
There's a big difference in a few of a Party trending left and the majority of a Party already being there.
Just how do you propose to deal with the Dems if they control Congress? Sounds like to me you'll just sit at your keyboard and complain louder but it will be too late to do anything about it then.
But that's not what you SAID, is it?
You have a very unknowledgeable grasp on things, especially in this state.
Do me a favor: don't vote; you don't have enough knowledge of the facts to make an intelligent choice.
The club for growth is like 7-2 in congressional primaries. I can think of atleast 2 house seats that will be more conservative next year (one in NE, and one in MI)
Yep. They are getting eaasier for me to spot. Did you notice how he threw in ALL the hot topics...immigration, home schooling, etc?
We know these lamos as well as we do the Treason Media.
Look, I'm from TN. I know the climate. We're a center-right state, we aren't MS. We have a rat Govenor (who governs from the center-right). Here's the lay of the land:
We have a gay marriage ban on the ballot in Nov.
We have a disproportionate population of military and families.
We have what might be the nationally deciding Senate race in Harold For Jr and Bob Corker.
There aren't enough words to explain how hated the Ford family is in TN, outside of Memphis. Yet, Junior has been groomed since childhood for this very moment in time. He puts himself forward as a moderate, even center-right, which he can get away with because the people in his district would vote for Barry Goldwater as long as his name was Barry Goldwater Ford. The Fords run that town. So he's carefully positioned himself as the most conservative of TNs rats, hired a first-rate staff, and brought in the big guns (CLinton was here last week).
Corker won the primary by default. He's center-right as well (he's changed his position from pro-choice to pro-life), and his opponents were far more conservative. But the Stupid Party split the conservative vote between Van Hilleary and Ed Bryant (who should have won), and now we have Corker.
I only tell you this because it's a real-life example of what you're talking about. Do we vote for the (so-called) RINO Corker, or for the so-called DINO Ford? If you knew TN politics, you'd know there's no chance in Hades pubbies will cross over to Ford. There is no other choice, and I mean that literally. 3rd parties haven't done anything here since Wallace.
No, there will be heavy Republican turnout this fall, due to the gay marriage amendment, and to vote AGAINST Ford. Personally, my vote will be against his crooked father, his indicted uncle, his aunt who was stripped of her seat because of rampant election fraud, his whole darn Memphis Mafia clan. To do that, I have no choice but to vote for the RINO.
Bookmarking for November.
What a relief!
Now hush; we're going to win in November so we're busy doing what we always do, getting people elected to office. Unlike you.
