The head of the IDF's social media unit, lieutenant Sacha Dratwa, enjoys more than Twitter and Facebook. Apparently, he's also into some good 'ol fashioned Jim Crow styled blackface as well.
Yesterday, a photo began circulating of the social media guru with sand smeared on his face with the caption, "Obama style." The photo was actually uploaded on September 29th, but the photo only began circulating after Gawker ran a story on Dratwa, increasing his international profile.
The Gawker story describes Dratwa:
Sacha Dratwa enjoys some very normal things: macchiatos, swimming, vodka,hanging out with friends. You can see it right on his Facebook profile. But unlike most Facebook folks, this guy runs Israel's Internet propaganda war machine.
After social media guru's profile was published, Al-Akhbar English was the first outlet to publish the "blackface" photo of Dratwa.
Dratwa's behavior may come as a shock to some, but it shouldn't. There have been indications in the past that a number of Israelis harbor racist views toward black and brown people.
In June of this year, Israel began a massive deportation of African migrants who said they were treated "like animals" during the process.
"They fired all the people, so they decided to leave," Michael Bazia, 45, a Sudanese community leader in Arad, said. "They treat us like animals so we have no choice but to go back."
Before the African migrants were rounded up, Israeli protesters had begun attacking them in the streets with rocks and sticks. One Israeli official even went so far as to call the immigrants a "cancer" to their society.

Lol @ the comments from Mohammedans, especially Arab as if Arabs are such fighters of racial equality towards black people. Try to outrun your slave history and racism against blacks all you like, Mohammedans. Your concern overt this issues is phony. Jews are not ignorant to unaware of this racial aspect of history in America. This pix with the caption is racist and disgusting denials are pathetic. If one is racist own up to it instead of hiding cowardly. A poster mentioned this Israeli activist is from Russia, and apparently most Russians are xenophobic, and while that may be the case, they're not excluded from criticism regarding offensive racism.

What black people should also in fact be concerned about is long term unemployment and the negative economic status of African Americans being far worse than what is being reported by white-owned mainstream media organizations and the fact that African Americans with and without higher education are deliberately not being hired for available jobs having nothing to do with their skills or education, are deliberately being discriminated against by the vast majority of America's employers who are white and overwhelmingly white Jews who are primarily hiring other white Jews, white gentiles, and non-black minorities (Latinos and Asians) first and, in many cases more often than not, exclusively.
The economic and social conditions in America for African Americans, for blacks in Africa, and poor people worldwide are going to get far, far worse than most can even begin to imagine and all are sitting ducks. Equally important is the fact of all white Jewish Americans' highly useful black pawns including 1/2 white Barack Obama, 1/2 white Benjamin Jealous, high white-blooded Marc Morial, 1/2 white young turk master politician Newark, NJ Mayor wannabe Govenor Cory Booker, the 1/2 white Lt. Govenor of MD, the former 1/2 white D.C. Mayor Fenty thank-God-blacks-got-rid-of-him-but-way-too-late, and also other 1/2 white/black and non-biracial black politicians in America nor the Congressional Black Caucus. None of them are going to do anything at all tangible to stop or reverse the fast upcoming onslaught of deliberately escalated out of upper-income, middle-income and working-class into huge new black poverty populations joining pre-existing black poverty in America rife with anger that will become deep depression, despair, fury, poor health, sickness, riots, and ultimately blood in the streets, death, and mass incarcerations. The America government and big corporations have for a while been quitely and rapidly building more prisons in great anticipation of them being filled with hordes of angry and riotous new and pre-existing long term unemployed, revolutionary, radical and poor people. The USA government, which is filled with huge numbers of white Jews in high positions of power and authority is also quitely preparing long ago previously closed military bases and other human hold locations such as numerous "FEMA" internment camps.
Why will black politicians nationwide not do anything? Because they really have no real power and can't and if they actually seriously tried to do anything that would effectively and rapidly stimulate business development and jobs for African Americans and black immigrants, they and members of their families will very quickly be investigated, hounded, scandalized, bounced, unemployed, blacklisted, bombed, and nullified in every which way either banged six-feet into the ground or also fast into the upcoming deliberate sunami of escalated new and massively increased black poverty. Ditto for the white structures' labeled and so-called "Black Elite" who are overwhelmingly in partnership with white Jewish Americans and willingly do their bidding to the detriment of the Black Race in America and elsewhere. So, black politicians perform just enough believable lip service and window-dressing to appear as though they are working hard, can, and will achieve valuable tangible, if not priority results, for the people. And, the "Black Elite" overwhelmingly don't even think to dare try in any either any believeable fake nor any effective or measurable way at all.
Black politicians and the so-called "Black Elite" are not in charge. They know it, those who are in charge know it, and the only ones who do not realize it are way too many millions of black people in America, Carribean, and Africa. Most black people also have no real idea of who is really running America and the world, all and who they own nationwide and worldwide, what it is they are deliberately working to make happen, why, how, and when regarding within a specific timeframe.
Black people have no clue of what the long game plan really is nor understand that black politicians are overwhelmingly going along to get along hoping to be allowed to do what little they can and that they and their families will be spared and many are puppets of rich white Jews. Also, non-politician "Black Elite" are overwhelmingly and undeniably henchmen and henchwomen puppets of rich white Jews.
Who runs the world and controls world commerce, affairs, and the leaders of all world nations? Principally supernatural powers of evil together with the human Bilderberg Group, The Vatican, U.S. Council of Foreign Relations, and Trilateral Commission followed by back-up from their boys/girls of USDOJ CIA/FBI, USDoD, NATO, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Federal Reserve Bank, Wall Street, largest American and international corporations worldwide, and the richest people in the world.
The vast majority of black people in America and Africa are not paying any attention to the strategic tactics completely detrimental to their prosperity and basic survival long underway and much that is quite visible right in front of them. There are two places in America of several in America and Europe that black people who can should visit and see to achieve if not full quick understanding of the long game plan in a nutshell certainly way more than a mere inkling of what it really is all about. The plan for both continued and escalated elimination and subjugation of black people in America, Carribean, and Africa is now and always been widescale.
Black people in America, Carribean, and Africa are easily oppressed because they believe whatever the overwhelmingly white-controlled USA government, politicians, big business, education system, judicial system, banks, media organizations, television programs, movies, music, and advertisement industries want them to believe. Take a quick trip to visit, see, and thoroughly read "The Georgia Guidestones" in Elberton, Georgia. Next, go and visit the Denver Airport and spend time thoroughly viewing the massive wall art murals throughout and also see the symbols on the marble floors. Then, research and fully read about The Committee of 300, High Knights and Knights of Malta, Knights of Columbus, and Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion.
Also, understand that HIV/AIDs was in fact deliberately created by white Jewish American and European scientists and deliberately introduced by them into Africa and America specifically to genocidedly wipe out and reduce the Black Race population (Read Dr. Francis Cress Welsing' book The Isis Papers), which I knew long before reading Dr. Welsing' book. Also, understand that rich white American government and private sector leaders together with those in European countries and their huge corporations are again carving up and re-colonizing Africa following covert daily wiping out of millions of African people via HIV/AIDs coupled with U.S./NATO/Europe led deliberate destruction and destabilization of the African Union (uniting of all African state countries) movement by the leaders of 54 African countries to create a united Africa deliberately disturbed and shaken up via U.S./NATO/Europe paid instigation of false civil uprising in and bombing of oil rich Libya specifically to take out and murder Qadaffi who strongly fully supported, participated in, and financially supported the African Union and via paid instigation of tribal civil war genocide in Rawada and Sudan, paid economic and civil destabilization, paid subversions, and paid false civil uprisings in Somolia, Congo, Mali, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Syria and so on, paid support and installations of certain politicians as leaders of key African countries and not for the benefit of the people of those countries, and the installation of AFRICOM (U.S. and European military bases) in Africa.
The same goes on in Black America in numerous ways ranging from via white America's daily delivery of white supremacy subliminal and overt psychological warfare indoctrination of white domination and superiority beginning with public school education of black children daily taught about white American and European history of leaders, conquorers, european domination of black people as slaves and up from slavery to white America's financial and political control of the public school education system regarding curriculums, what subjects / levels of courses taught, and education materials available, control of available employment and hiring, control of military and genocidal science chemical, viral, and bacterial biological warfare programs, control of judicial system, law enforcement, banks, media organizations, entertainment industry, advertising, food/health/medicine industries, control of illegal drugs and alcohol, and control of the prison industrial complex in tight partnership Europe/Vatican/Bilderberg Group.
How can any black person on earth ignore and fail to realize that the mandated regular annual and daily deliberate and quite thoroughly partial history teaching of black peoples' history exclusively as enslavement, subjugation, domination, elimination, and discrimation by whites institutionalized in public schools and white colleges and universities throughout America does not psychologically and negatively impact and affect the minds black children and adults of the Black Race long term, if not life-long?
The omission of true historical knowledge about Africa and African Americans' African ancestors' true ancient history in Africa, Europe, America, and worldwide deliberately never taught to black students via America's public and higher education systems is absolutely by deliberate design, psychological mind control, undeniably damaging, and needs urgent attention recognition and also immediate change by black parents and black public school educators nationwide. Whites have ensured no mandated general or thorough teaching provided within basic public school and college curriculums about the continent of Africa and her accurate ancient history to which European knowledge and development across the board is directly tied and ensured Africa is historically irrevelant and does not exist just as if her black people are also irrevelant and have not massively contributed to the great knowledge and wealth of European, American, and world civilization. Black children historically in America have and continue to be been taught in school all about the evolution and exploits of white America and Europe and nothing about Africa regarding any historical truth or thorough knowledge as if the huge continent of Africa does not exist.
The lack of true and thorough historical knowledge of self and deliberate cover up and deceit about such of tremendous great importance is truly where the real problems of black children, adults, families, and lack of black unification really begins and from which all other negative, destructive psychological emotions, behaviors, actions flow. If the vast majority of black urban public school students in America when asked are able accurately name three or more states in America, name three or more countries in Europe, even name three or more countries in South America, name foods and meals indiginous to these continents, and they and their parents are both hard pressed and unable to name one let alone three countries in Africa and are also unable to name one foods or meals indiginous to the continent and certain countries of Africa, what does this tell you?
It tells you that black students are deliberately not being taught the incredible wealth of true accurate knowledge about ancient, past, or present Africa nor about their African ancestors. But they are taught history of white European English-Americans, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the Greeks, Romans, and so on to ensure they exclusively view the history of blacks and their ancestors principally only as former African slaves, up from slavery, and Africa as a backward jungle filled with ignorant black savages dominated and overtaken by whites superior to them.
Any race of people not knowing their own true history or roots is a race of people easily degraded, indoctrinated, deceived, confused, self-hating, infiltrated, divided, diluted, forever largely overwhelmed, overtaken, and suspended in an idle twilight zone of ignorance to be easily daily conquored and destroyed en mass. They will fall for just about anything from and also entirely believe their oppressors, have weak and easily penenatrable moral convictions, be largely extremely fearful, will not stand up risking their lives to effectively fight against their oppressors, will remain under oppression, and will either self-destruct or join oppressors of black people in harming them en mass, targeted, or both.
As for what Black American and Black Africa ought to do, but far too many millions likely will not to save and reverse en mass troubles and decline of every kind is to first return to and rapidly learn and live the Word of Almighty God in obedience and in daily pray to Him asking for His mercy, guidance, and protection. Second, to rapidly unite together in active moral, spiritual, social and economic solidarity to actively plan survival and prosperity by any means necessary and acceptable to Almighty God and also regularily and consistantly identify and ostracize all internal and external enemies of the Black Race. And third, to rapidly spread as much important knowledge and survival guidance and help if possible to as many other black people in America, Carribean, and in Africa as humanly possible. Last, black people need to and should also know as well that the only unbought, unbent, strongest, unafraid, and worthy spiritual and moral leader of black people in America always speaking truth to change that more black people listen to and overwhelmingly support en mass is Minister Louis Farrakhan.

Agree with Eric26-if we stopped generalizing religions and stopped merging it with race-(the two are very separate things)
then people wouldn't fear publicizing and condemning all acts of racism by whoever without the fear of being labeled as one, simply for criticizing deplorable acts by someone of another background
History says that Jews were throughtout all of Europe during Hitler and the Nazi sweep leading up to WW II. After being baked in ovens, tortured, raped and experimented on they were saved by the Allied Invasion. They were placed in Israel in 1948 by the UN saying that biblically that is where they belong. For any of them to be racist toward blacks when their holacaust was no more of a devastation than ours is absurd. They call Farrahkan anti-semetic, who has never tortured or killed anyone,then tell me what was Hitler and the German European white people?
Guys, listen to yourselves. No race is "bad". I've seen people insult Arab, Jewish and white people in the comments for absolutely no reason (there is never a reason to insult a race of people!).
Hatred has no place in our society or in our hearts.
The article on this guy is a complete non-story of his visit to the dead sea, however these videos aren't(BELOW) and should be the reason behind this article, not jumping to conclusions about what he may have meant by Obama style-not all Jews are racist, just like any other groups in society, we should condemn individuals and not generalise…
Then there are the good ones who do counter protest and make videos like these, there were plenty of Jews protesting against the war in Gaza in Tel-aviv, shame the good work ppl do never gets publicity.
jews also ran most of the slave trade 80% of slave owners were jews

Actually, this guy is an immigrant from Russia, not an Israeli born citizen, AFAIK.
Israel had a huge immigration wave coming over in the 80s and 90s. Many of them are right-wing, extreem and very racist. Some of you might know Avigdor Liberman – one of the most hated politicians, and one of the most dangerous and corrupt politicians we've ever had.
Russians seem to be racist not just toward black people, but anyone else not Russian. A very extreme case of inferiority complex, IMHO, as for most Israelis, being russian means you're either a slut, or a gangster.
This created a very explosive social condition, which changed the face of Israel (who used to be 50% easter european, and 50% north african and asians jews), and led to never seen before phenomenas like this one.
As an Israeli, I'am ashamed, but the wording of this article are really far from reality, and uninformed.
I am sorry to put it out to you folks but you are so pathetic it is just sad.
What exactly is racist in having one, after putting mud on his face and body for skin care to note his own picture does remind of president Obama and then tweeting about it?
Only persons who really care about skin color to a point where they think it should matter can see this harmless tweet as racist.
>> There have been indications in the past that a number of Israelis harbor racist views toward black and brown people.
Sure, they are some racist views harbored by some people in Israel as in just any other state in the world (there are also some murderers, thieves, housewives, doctors but no elves).
Israel is a melting pot of people coming from many cultures and races sharing (for the most part) the common of being part of the Jewish People.
Naturally, there are tensions between newcomers and the rest. It has to do with language, culture differences, education level and other issues. It takes at least a generation for newcomers to be fully absorbed. Be it newcomers from Poland, Romania, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Russia, Ethiopia or any other location. Everyone makes jokes about the other and while an outsider will call them racist jokes (in the 'politically correct' regime) we in Israel enjoy them, including the ones on our own 'origin' – this is humor used to ease pain, not to cause one).
Israel is a model for a non-racist country, similar to the US. Compare it with Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and others to get the idea.
Last thing – sadly, there is one minor community in Israel where there is definitely racism and that is the Ultra Orthodox Jews living in their ghetos and mixing with no one – not many want to mix with them but the Sefaradic Ultra Orthodox Jews want to mix with them and they do feel real racist attitudes.
Correction – of, muthas
@ silver. .I was at the Black expo in Indianapolis a few years ago and I had the pleasure of meeting some true Ethiopian Hebrews and they had migrated to Israel in the 90s According to their accounts, they are treated like shit! They make them live in areas of the country that are somewhat barren and restrict any travel between them between the two countries. According to them, the white Jews in Israel think all Africans are ill with HIV. This is not a lie because others I have met from Ethiopia have told me this. Why is this important? Because if the blood line of Halle Selassie and The Queen of Sheeba. If u r Hebrew u r suppose to be able reside in Israel because of birthrite , but African Jews are not looked at this way. ..Those Askenazi and Khazarian myths are pure racist and they are the true terrorist! ! Hotep
But… I just want to point out one thing:
I visited Israel on a holiday in 2010 and (of course) I went to the Dead Sea. Along the shoreline there is all the soft mud that you put on your skin – salons use it for facials and body treatments. Naturally, I partook of the activity and slimed myself from head to toe in the stuff. (I promptly broke out in a rash the next day. Not good.) I probably looked ridiculous, and if I didn't care about ruining my camera, I might have asked my boyfriend to take my picture looking ridiculous. It wouldn't have been blackface, it would've been "Look at all the mud I'm in!"
The reason I mention that is just to point out that this wasn't a case of premeditated douchebaggery — i.e. he most likely put the mud on his face for the reasons I mentioned, and then the caption just came *naturally* to him. (Because he's a racist). I just wanted to clarify that it's not like he brought boot-black with him to the beach in order to do this.
He's till a racist douchebag, no mistake about it. But he an opportunistic, haphazard racist douchebag rather than a pre-planning one, in this instance.
ETA: I swear I read the article 3 times and missed the mention of "sand" every time.
But my earlier comment is still relevant because I'm pointing out that you're meant to put that mud on your face as a skin treatment (it's most definitely not "sand" – it's very soft, slick mud).
So the "Obama" part is probably something that occurred to him after he put it on (maybe even after he saw the picture.)
Again: I'm not excusing it, just sharing a little personal experience of the place.
What's the difference? A racist is a racist. Who cares if he did it on a whim or pre planned?
And big South African Jews funded Hitler( Gold and Diamonds ) , that's the overstory to the movie Inside Man! ! I'm shocked Hollywood let spike and Densely make that movie! Check ..The DeBeers, The Rothschilds, and the Boer War. .Hotep
These are the racist heathens, who are killing Black folks in these Black and brown countries!
Keep looking up to these demons, and O'Drama, the mulatto, who sends them out to kill Black people.

---- — MARBLEHEAD — The hand-carved wooden plaque on Ann Marie Casey's desk at the Marblehead Chamber of Commerce reads: "Annmarie Casey/executive director."
Her dad, who died in 2011, made it for her (though, for some reason, without the space between "Ann" and "Marie.")
When Casey moves to her new job as executive director of the North of Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau, the personable, 39-year-old Wilmington native can bring the sign along to her new desk in Salisbury. In mid-March, she will take over leadership of the private, nonprofit organization that receives state tourism dollars and uses them to market Essex County as a place to visit.
Casey is leaving an active Chamber of Commerce in a seaside tourist town where she has worked for almost six years.
"She's going to be missed, that's for sure," said Cindy Latham, the Marblehead chamber's president. "I think it's the next obvious step for her growth-wise."
Casey's new job also will give Marblehead "a representative who understands us at the regional level."
This region certainly has a diverse range of attractions. Among its varied destinations are Lawrence, where Robert Frost went to high school, with its historic textile mills; Salisbury, with its beaches and amusements; Newburyport and Gloucester, with their seafaring histories and upscale shops; Salem, with its maritime history, Peabody Essex Museum, numerous restaurants and Haunted Happenings; and Marblehead, with its harbor full of yachts and claim as the birthplace of the U.S. Navy.
"They deserve and require their individuality because there is something special in all of them," Casey said of the various communities. "I think I can afford them some certain opportunities from their current marketing efforts and really expand their reach, but I also think there is a lot of opportunity for them to work together and to put together regional packaging and itineraries."
Casey says she is used to working with other leaders in the region.
"What's good for Salem is good for Marblehead; what's good for Swampscott is good for Marblehead," Casey said.
"And I think that is really what the CVB was looking for in a leader — a regional leader, because that's going to be my largest charge, to have the 34 cities and towns in Essex County really working together and being a team. It does happen on a lot of levels right now, and I think I can take it to the next level."
Casey wants to grow the tourism organization's membership. It presently has about 200, compared with the Marblehead chamber, which has 320. Casey's efforts in Marblehead include overseeing large festivals such as the Christmas Walk, the Art Walk, and the upcoming Spring Home and Garden Show (March 23 and 24). Last year, she started a Maritime Festival.
Casey sees her new job as coming "full circle" in her career.
After earning a bachelor's degree in communications, politics and law with a minor in poetry from Emerson College, she landed a job working as an aide for state Rep. James Miceli, D-Wilmington. Later, she worked for state Sen. Bob Bernstein, whose term ended in 2001 when he decided not to run again.
Casey, who has a Master of Business Administration from the University of Massachusetts Boston, became special assistant to the director of the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism.
In 2003, she got a job with the North of Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau, working as the membership manager. Back then, the organization had about 300 members, so she said one of her first tasks will be to retain members and recruit new ones.
"It's part of my job, even here at the chamber, that I really enjoy," Casey said. "I enjoy our members. I like getting my feet on the street."
She worked for North of Boston for a little more than a year, then headed up Beverly Main Streets, taking over for Rinus Oosthoek, who is now executive director of the Salem Chamber of Commerce and who serves on the board of North of Boston.
"We are all coming around full circle, and I'm still having these relationships with these folks, which is great, which I think just makes the organizations stronger because we know each other," Casey said.
In Beverly, she worked to market the city as a cultural destination, boost the downtown and make connections. She is friends with Gin Wallace, who took over for Casey at Beverly Main Streets in 2007.
Casey left to become executive director of the Marblehead chamber.
Casey said she is leaving a thriving chamber behind but also is working to make sure that whoever takes her job is able to pick up where she left off.
"The sense of pride and community spirit in Marblehead is bar none," Casey said, "I have never seen anything quite like it, and that is why the chamber survives, because people care."

---- — The Actors Studio in Newburyport is celebrating Women's History Month with a special program that will incorporate music and dance — while taking the audience on a little walk around the building.
Cellist Kristen Miller and Fontaine Dubus, owner of Exit Dance Theatre, partnering with actor/director Marc Clopton, owner of the Actors Studio in the Tannery Marketplace, will present "Incarnation, A Performance in Motion" this weekend and next Friday and Saturday.
"This is a show where the audience will not be sitting in their seats staring at a stage watching people do stuff for an hour," Miller wrote in an email. "The show travels. The audience travels. Sometimes the audience is looking down on the performance. At other times, because there are aerial dancers, they will be looking up. This is literal, but truly with each piece, perspectives shift."
The performance tells the story of "Everywoman," Clopton said, using dance, music and words. As the performance progresses, the audience will travel to various locations around the Tannery, beginning with the Actors Studio, through the hallway and ending at The Dance Place.
"I have written a series of new pieces that Fontaine and Exit Dance Theater are choreographing," Miller added. The pieces use cello, loop box, delay pedal and spoken word. Sometimes, even the dancers are speaking. There is great overlap, and it is really fun to see. Marc has written some beautiful text to go in the show as well. There is a sort of story to follow in the performance, but so much of it is open to interpretation."
Clopton, Dubus and Miller began working on the performance last fall. Each year, the theater marks Women's History Month with several events. In addition to this piece, the theater is hosting a dance party on Saturday, March 30, featuring Girls' Night Out Quartet.
"Like many institutions in our culture, men have had more opportunity, historically, than women," Clopton wrote. "The theater is no different. So we wanted to focus on women and give female historical figures, actors, writers, musicians and visual artists the focus."
For Miller, who proudly calls herself a "feminist," marking Women's History Month is important.
"It is not that I think women are superior to men, it is that we have work to do in order to bring true equality between the sexes. We got the vote less than 100 years ago," she said. "That is unfathomable to me. I watch shows like 'Half the Sky' on PBS and I can't believe that girls are sold into prostitution. I can't believe we are still fighting as a nation about the birth control pill. And yet, all of this is true. That said, Fontaine and I both felt that we didn't want to have a politicized, preachy show. We wanted to have a show about standing in our own power, about making that feeling contagious. Our goal with this show is for people to leave feeling like they are so glad to be alive, feeling that they have the power to have a beautiful, meaningful life."
For the trio of friends, who has long admired each other's work and sought to collaborate on a joint project, plans finally came together this year.
"Fontaine has always wanted to do a piece that takes advantage of the interesting theatrical aspects of the mill building, and she and Kristen have wanted to collaborate again since their last collaboration was so successful," Clopton said. "As fate would have it, the music Kristen was composing and the lyrics and poetry she was writing lent themselves perfectly to Fontaine's concept."
IF YOU GO What: "Incarnation, A Performance in Motion, presented by cellist Kristen Miller, Exit Dance, and The Actors Studio When: Tomorrow and Saturday, March 15 and March 16, 8 p.m. Where: The Actors Studio of Newburyport, 50 Water St., The Tannery Mill 1, Suite 5, Newburyport How: $18 for adults, $15 for seniors and students.

December 13, 2007
Season's Greetings! This is a most exciting time to be at UPJ. We stand tall and proud as our record of excellence is increasingly reflected in the outstanding accomplishments of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni. The spirit of the season is indeed alive at UPJ and I am personally very grateful for your support and goodwill.
Our fine institution is animated by the promise of tomorrow, by the vitality of our students, the scholarly teaching of dedicated faculty and the service of committed staff. I am always overjoyed, when as happens from time to time, I am reminded of the majesty of it all in the most elemental and essential way. A couple of weeks ago, as I walked down a hallway, I heard a really engaging voice stimulating dialogue and inquiry in a math class. And there was Professor Joe Wilson making math fun, drawing the students' attention with a quip or two as he challenged their minds. Next door, I discovered another engaging teacher, Professor Terry Shustrick, stimulating her student's interest with an effective presentation. Several weeks before it was Professor Amy Miller, Dr. Anthony Capon and many others who caught my attention as I wandered past their classrooms. This is the stuff of a great University - teachers, professors, masters of their craft initiating new scholars into the Academy.
Like our dedicated faculty, our staff colleagues are just as central to our success. This year several of them are celebrating significant milestones in their service to UPJ:
· Five Years: Ms. Lori Fresch, Ms. Theresa Horner, Mr. Scott Thiel, Mr. Louis Vigna, Mr. Todd Williams · Ten Years: Ms. Helen Golubic · Twenty Years: Ms. Linda Baumgardner, Ms. Janet Hoffman, Mr. Roger Metzgar · Thirty Years: Mr. Alan Eash, Ms. Carrie Owens, Mr. Ronald Rovansek · Forty Years: Mr. Thomas Dupnock
Please join me in congratulating these good people and acknowledging their long term service to our students and the future of our communities. Thank you all!
Student engagement and campus enthusiasm are on the rise. On a recent occasion, when I met with a group of our students, I was thoroughly impressed by their dedication to learning in companionship with each other. The enviable esprit de corps and their genuine concern for, and goodwill toward one another, reminded me why I love to work in a university setting. Our young men and women are among the most impressive, engaging and delightful I have ever encountered in any institution of higher learning. This fall also marked the launch of a new organization designed to foster school pride and spirit. This organization, affectionately known as the Mountain Cat Maniacs, already has over 300 members.
I was very pleased to be able to send our second community report to the members of our UPJ family. This document detailed these and many other campus achievements.
And speaking of high points, the Goodwill Arches were recently unveiled in our campus mall, splendidly illuminating the spirit of the season at UPJ. We hope these 10 arches will be a beacon to you and your family and will be a reason to visit the campus and enjoy the spirit of goodwill. As we enter another year on the wings of hope and possibility, season's greetings and goodwill to you and yours.

5 Bad Habits of New Car Owners That Ruin a Vehicle's Value
If you've got a brand new car, go easy on the gas.
A flood of new car owners have hit the streets following this past Labor Day weekend. Based on the first 15 days in August, J.D. Power estimates that new vehicle sales reached 1.27 million units for the month – up 12 percent from the previous year and the highest level since before the recession.
A number of personal finance gurus advise against buying a brand new car – ever – but drivers are obviously ignoring this advice. Perhaps it's because the cost of financing a new car is so low; a gobankingrates.com auto loan rate study last month found the national average for new car loans is just 3.99 percent APR, while some local banks and credit unions charge as little as 0.99 percent APR.
So if you bucked the frugal option, accepting that a new car's value decreases by 11 percent on average as soon as the odometer rolls to "1," here are a few bad habits you can avoid to mitigate any further depreciation on your new vehicle:
1. Riding dirty. You might not mind skipping a few washes to make up for a big car payment, but everything from the elements, to salt on the road, to good ol' bird poop will wear away a new car's finish and detract from its overall resale value. New car owners should be mindful of dirt and grime that can build up – both inside and out – and opt for a wash (preferably by hand) every week or two and a full detail at least four times a year.
Jon Dulin of MoneySmartGuides.com says keeping a clean engine bay immensely improves your vehicle's resale value. "Don't take a hose to your engine, but take a wet rag and wipe off the dirt from the hoses and plastic coverings under the hood," advises Dulin, adding, "Buyers see a super clean car and engine bay ... and will pay top dollar for the car."
2. Driving hard. Some drivers are more aggressive than others, but the rush of sitting behind the driver's seat of a brand new, powerful car is enough to give anyone a lead foot for the first few thousand miles. The problem is, these first miles are when new car owners need to be most gentle. While it's rare for most modern cars to come with specific break-in instructions, it's always recommended that drivers go easy on the gas, avoiding redlining or hard braking.
It's also important to change the oil almost immediately. "That 20-mile oil, you would think, would look pretty much like fresh oil right out of the bottle. Wrong. It usually looks more like metal-flake paint, iridescent with tiny particles of metal worn off rubbing surfaces inside the new engines," writes Mike Allen in Popular Mechanics. "After a few hours of operation, this completely normal phenomenon slows down as the rings, camshaft, lifters and bearings burnish their respective mating surfaces."
3. Customizing your vehicle. Adding a body kit or exhaust system can personalize a vehicle, but will consequently reduce the pool of buyers interested in purchasing it when you're ready to move on. Even worse, aftermarket modifications and accessories can interfere with a car's warranty. Above all, car owners concerned with retaining value should steer clear of add-ons that alter powertrain or safety equipment.
4. Failing to keep records. The Car Connection recommends holding on to all of your service records, which can be especially valuable if you end up selling your car to a private buyer. By showing paperwork that proves the vehicle's tires, oil and battery are in good condition, you have a better chance at selling the car and getting a good price.
5. Seeking service from a stranger. Bret Bodas, automotive expert and director of the automotive professional group at repairpal.com, says having unqualified technicians work on your car often ends up being an enormous drain on your wallet. "Though you may think you're paying a little less, this often backfires," Bodas says. "Untrained professionals make your vehicles issues a matter of trial and error, guessing which parts need to be replaced to fix that funny noise and potentially causing new problems."
Rather than taking the chance, dedicate the same amount of time and research you did in choosing your new car when finding the person who will help repair and maintain it.

Has Top Chef Jumped the Shark?
I think it was inevitable that they cave to the commercial interests. I thought the Bombay sapphire thing was a huge stretch, the Bertoli one wasn't so much of a stretch but somehow it felt sleazier.
But I think this season is more focused on food than on histrionics a la Season 1 and 2, i.e. Stephen, Tiffany, Ilan, Marcel.
I think perhaps the novelty of what they are doing has worn off a little. In so much as people know how the show works and what it is all about. For me I think the show has found it's stride. Season one seemed to be full of more gimmicks with things like the vending machine, and gestation challenges. But they had a strong winner. Season two, was a joke, they focused too much on the high school like drama and wound up with a pathetic winner who is more of a mimic than a cook. Certainly not a chef.
Yes this year there are lots of product placements. Then again they've also shown contestants complaining about these products(Hung saying the GE stove sucked). Or makeing fun of the guest judge. But the contestant seem like a very competent cooks. The focus seems to be back of the food and the talents of the chefs. I think they managed to stop themselves from Jumping the Shark.
re: Withnail42
re: sugarbuzz
Someone has to pay the bills, especially as more and more people are using DVR and blowing through the old-timey commercials.
I'm not sure why the timing of guests on Inside The Actors Studio is a "product placement" as much as it is smart production. Why would they NOT plan when they tape and air their guests to coincide with times when people would be most interested in watching those guests? If the university gets a kickback from the studio for showing the Matt Damon interview the week before Bourne Ultimatum is released instead of the Sean Astin interview, more's the better.
The product placements in Top Chef don't really phase me. It's a game show. Game shows have always been full of product placements. I've never heard anyone complain about that on The Price Is Right, though.
re: jzerocsk
Good post. Let's see...let's TiVo it so I don't watch any commercials...damnit, why is there product placement. Let's think about how great a show and a network you would have without advertisers...
I think the Top Chef, Next Food Network Star, Hell's Kitchen triple play is always leading to chef show exhaustion. I mean, my wife and I generally watch all 3 in some form and fashion...and not much else these days. We said it the other day...do we only watch reality cooking shows???
I'll probably be in the minority with this opinion, but...I think that the product placements is much less egregious this time. Less "throw your food in your Gladware and hop in the Rav 4s." I think this one is more about the food, and I think it's boring. What lacks is human drama and characters. The drama with Hung is really contrived and I'm just not buying it. I don't think the group dynamic is that interesting, and no matter what the food challenges are, that wouldn't change.
I don't feel this season is any different than the previous ones. They had product placement from the very start. I think definition of jumping the shark would be if they ended up doing some challenge that had nothing to do with food, such as if they had to each design their own chef's uniform. For now, at least they're still cooking.
I'm not as distracted and distressed by the product promos this season as last. The "GE Kitchen" and "Rav4" were grating. When they gave away the trip to Italy to the winning team last week, I was just waiting for the "American/United/etc. Airlines" plug which happily didn't come. The Bertolli-inspired frozen food challenge was a nicely indirect compliment when the "secret" of individually quick frozen parts of the recipe ended up winning.
The interpersonal drama doesn't have to be as in-your-face as the Marcel vs. Betty of last year. I liked when the claws came out during the team challenge last week.
Just an aside -- I must have missed the top 4 Season 1 vs. Season 2 challenge where the Season 3 contestants were tasters. I saw it a couple days ago as a repeat. When you see the best from both groups going at it with less pressure, the food results were fun. Shows that Harold on an off day beats the pants off of Ilan. And it was great to see Marcel escalate his foam obsession to tableside presentation and still get beat.
re: nosh
for some reason, I have less problem with giving away a trip and thanking the sponsor -vs- the bombay saphire thing were the gin is the integral part of the contest and the company shill, er I mean mixologist is the guest judge. For me it just seems skeevier. The effort to "sneek" the product placement in, by making it part of the show, seems too clever by half.
I do get it, the money has to come from somewhere and the product placement horse is out of the proverbial barn. Still, we as viewers can comment on it if it seems over the top.
re: chrisinroch
That's the problem for me..they sneak in product placement. I know the sponsors pay for the prize money & the trip to Italy..etc..but it's just getting to be too much!
The Dame Chocolate challenge? Hmm..oh yeah. NBC owns Telemundo, which airs Dame Chocolate, as well as Bravo. So not only are they shoving their products down my throat they are also shamelessly plugging their other shows on other networks that they own.

Shelbyville Daily Union
---- — Severe winter weather across much of the U.S. is affecting the ability of the American Red Cross to collect blood and platelet donations.
While the severe winter weather impacts blood donation opportunities, hospital patients still need transfusions of blood and platelets.
About 280 Red Cross blood drives have been canceled in 25 states, resulting in a shortfall of nearly 8,400 blood and platelet donations.
Donors in affected areas are urged to give blood or platelets once the storm has passed and travel is deemed safe.
There will be an American Red Cross Blood drive on Thursday, January 16 from noon until 6:00 p.m. The blood drive will be held at the First Baptist Church, 1000 West N 6th Street in Shelbyville. Refreshments will be provided by Druby's Restaurant. All eligible donors are encouraged to come and bring a friend along to help save lives. To schedule an appointment, please visit www.redcrossblood.org and enter sponsor keyword FBCShelbyville.

Friends of SMU-in-Taos
This year we are honoring Fred Wendorf, the "Father" of SMU-in-Taos and Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at SMU. The author of more than 30 books, Wendorf has been a member of the SMU faculty since 1964. In 1987, he became the first SMU faculty member elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
Wendorf founded SMU's Department of Anthropology and SMU's Fort Burgwin Research Center in Taos, New Mexico. His excavations in New Mexico unearthed the remnants of a log fort established by the U.S. Army in 1852 to protect the Taos-Santa Fe road from roaming Apache and Comanche. Wendorf reconstructed Fort Burgwin's structures based on the archaeological evidence he found of the original vertical log buildings.
SMU began acquiring the property in 1964, which evolved into the campus for SMU-in-Taos and now offers academic courses in the humanities, natural sciences, and the arts as well as archaeological and anthropological research at the restored 19th-century Fort Burgwin compound and the 13th-century Pot Creek Pueblo archeological site.
Today, the SMU-in-Taos campus makes up 423 acres in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico. The life-changing experiences of the students who study at Taos are supported by the Friends of SMU-in-Taos, whose unrestricted giving provides scholarships, course development and campus improvements.
Our goal is to raise $165,000 to honor Fred Wendorf's vision and enthusiasm in the formation of SMU-in-Taos over the last fifty years. We hope that you will consider joining us today as we celebrate the accomplishments of this beloved professor.
Become a Friend of SMU-in-Taos.

Coverity Scan Discovers Vulnerabilities in the Android Code
The 2010 security report looks at more than 291 projects, with special focus on the Android 2.6.32 kernel
Since 2006, Coverity has worked with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to identify software security vulnerabilities. In 2010, Coverity analyzed more than 61 million lines of open source code from more than 291 projects, including Android, Linux, Apache, Samba and PHP. According to the Coverity Scan 2010 Open Source Integrity Report, 45 percent of the identified vulnerabilities are considered "high-risk defects". The report also says that little has changed since 2008 in software development testing to help identify these security concerns and goes on to say, "It also demonstrates how easy it is to make these types of coding errors when the human factor comes into play."
This year's report takes an in-depth look at the Android 2.6.32 kernel and says that HTC Droid Incredible has about half the defects that would be expected for similar software of the same size, with about 1 defect per 1,000 lines of code, 359 of them in the currently shipping version of the HTC Droid Incredible. The report points out the fragmented accountability for Android software development, saying, "Android is based on Linux, which has thousands of contributors. Compound that with the Android developers from Google, the contributors to Android from the larger development community, and OEMs that supply components for specific configurations of Android to support different types of devices, and the lines of accountability are quickly blurred."
The entire report is free and available for download on the Coverity site: http://www.coverity.com/

On Sept. 22, the eve of the launch of many commercial broadcast network shows, the very idea of television could officially change forever.
If, at the Emmy Awards that night, Netflix's House of Cards or Arrested Development wins one or more of the major awards for which each is nominated, it will be a breakthrough for made-for-online television programming and an acknowledgment that viewers are either shifting their allegiance from broadcast, cable and satellite — or at the very least adding another option to their mix.
This should mean nothing to those viewers who have held fast to their rooftop antennas or their basic cable line, or who insist that the only way to collect their favorite shows is on DVD. (And, yes, there are still some VHS diehards out there.) Only it does, because each time programs shift to a new delivery system, they leave behind people watching only the old. At the same time, for those who have enthusiastically embraced newer media, this is meaningful because it makes certain that more compelling programs will be found outside the old systems.
At the same time for the people who make TV, the latest Emmy presentation is as big a moment as the awards telecast of 1988, the first in which cable programs were allowed to compete against broadcast for Emmys. As former Clevelander Tom O'Neil's book The Emmys noted, cable shows that first year had 15 nominations total — fewer than either American Horror Story: Asylum or Game of Thrones has this year. Five years later, HBO alone won 17 Emmys, more than any single broadcast network, and dominated the TV-movie category. On that night, at least, Emmy voters said it's HBO and it's TV.
But now you hear more and more talk about cutting the cable in favor of other forms of TV transmission, especially online. And broadcasters and cable outlets keep adding new ways of delivering their shows, including by phone apps. So the possibility of a big Netflix night will just further validate the latest shift in viewing habits. And it will come as the traditional commercial broadcast networks are unveiling their latest batch of new and returning shows.
To be sure, the networks continued in many ways to program to an audience that believes in the fall-to-spring TV season, that pays little attention to what's on before Labor Day, and that wants new episodes on the set as the snow piles up outside in mid-winter. But they are a decreasing portion of an audience that also includes people who closely follow summer-only shows, or who resign themselves to 13-episode seasonal runs split into two parts by cable entrepreneurs, or who wait for something to land on Amazon. com or Netflix or Hulu in order to binge-view whole seasons in a day or two.
And, because of that other audience, networks are ever more willing to think about new ways to schedule and present programs. Some new shows already have their first episodes available online, for example.
Look at CBS, both the most successful of the broadcast networks and long the most tradition-minded scheduler, offering most of its premieres over a week in late September. Even it has embraced new models, for example by putting a scripted first-run series, Under the Dome, on during the summer — and hitting big with audiences in the process. It is also going for the shorter run of episodes in select cases; Hostages, a new drama starring Toni Colette, has already been announced as ending its first season in January when another new show, Intelligence, will take its time slot.
Drawing an audience
Yet, as I end up saying every year, the key to any network's success is less about scheduling than putting on shows that viewers want to see. And that can still mean looking for compelling stars, appealing storylines, recognizable program brands and ideas that will resonate with viewers. CBS' idea last season to fill Friday nights with three shows in New York City — Made in Jersey; CSI: NY; and Blue Bloods — proved pointless when almost no one wanted to watch Made in Jersey and CSI:NY wore out its welcome. (Blue Bloods will be back this fall, but in a less geographic lineup with Undercover Boss and Hawaii Five-O.)
So where have the networks put their faith? Ideas from other media and from TV's past are being put to use. The most anticipated new series has to be Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on ABC, an extension of the Marvel comic-book-movie franchise that has included such megahits as The Avengers and Iron Man 3, with Avengers writer-director Joss Whedon involved in the TV series as well. ABC thinks this is the show to pit against the most popular entertainment show in prime time, NCIS.
ABC is also nodding to the movies with Super Fun Night, written by and starring Rebel Wilson, the breakout star of Pitch Perfect, and Lewis Carroll's Alice tales with Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. And Fox has gone back to Washington Irving for its Sleepy Hollow. (More about that can be found in today's issue of Channels.) And NBC is hoping some classic concepts can still work in a new version of Dracula and with an updated Ironside, this time starring Blair Underwood.
Grown-ups — in short, an audience more likely to still be watching regular TV — are central to new shows about parents and their adult children. Those include Fox's Dads, CBS' Mom and The Millers and ABC's Back in the Game. The still-underwhelming economy is reflected in more than one of those shows having the parents and offspring sharing a home; ABC's Lucky 7, about co-workers buying a winning lottery ticket, also resonates in these tough times.
Networks also still count on star power at times. NBC has five-time Emmy winner Michael J. Fox back in series TV with a show reflecting his real-life dealings with Parkinson's disease, and James Spader, who has three Emmys, in the thriller The Blacklist. CBS has brought back Robin Williams, with The Crazy Ones, which also features Sarah Michelle Gellar. Fox has looked toward late-night for a star, Andy Samberg, in the already well-reviewed Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which teams him with another TV mainstay, Andre Braugher.
Yes, the guy from Homicide: Life on the Streets and Last Resort. In a comedy. And it works.
Fantasy shows, which seem guaranteed an early audience (not to mention one that will snap up all related merch), are back in force with not only Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. but also the likes of Fox's Almost Human and the CW's The Tomorrow People and The Originals, the latter a spin-off of the network's Vampire Diaries.
Calculated decisions
Then there are the decisions that seem purely calculated: If ABC's viewers will watch Revenge, will they stick around for a show following it called Betrayal? And then there are the shows that on paper are simply baffling. The CW's latest pitch for teen girls and young women is Reign, the story of a young Mary, Queen of Scots, two suitors and intrigue — which, aside from some period costumes, occupies the same territory as 90210 and Gossip Girl did for the network. I cannot wait to see what the show's makers decide is the 16th-century version of sexting.
But Reign already has some fans among those who have previewed it, and at least one who has admitted "perverse curiosity" about where this PG variation on Game of Thrones is going. That curiosity may draw enough viewers to meet the CW's modest ratings expectations. But at least someone cares about the show. And I have my own list of wanna-watch-more shows, among them Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Michael J. Fox Show, We Are Men, Sleepy Hollow and The Crazy Ones.
But last season, my favorite new show was Last Resort, which lasted 13 episodes. And when I'm thinking about what to watch in the weeks ahead, my choices will also include cable shows — and the episodes I have not yet seen of Netflix's Orange Is the New Black.

on a comment on The floodgates open in Florida? over 6 years ago
Bad rules are made to be broken.
And let me remind you that those 'bad rules' were agreed to by all DNC members, including Florida and Michigan. Nobody objected at the time so it's a little late now.
comment on a post The floodgates open in Florida? over 6 years ago
Big Unanswered Questions: Anyone think this was an oversight by the Obama campaign? Can Obama just blame David Axelrod? How much of a commission will Axelrod gain from running ads in a state that doesn't matter?
No. Yes. Whatever he gets.
If it were Clinton or Edwards running ads in Florida you bet Obama would make a stink about it because it's clear to me he favors a scorched earth policy when dealing with competitors.
However, in this case IOKIYO.
comment on a post A Quick Number from Clinton's Win in Michigan over 6 years ago
Chris Bowers frames these results as a win for Barack Obama, and I can't say that I think he's too far off.
Bowers was wrong, and so are you. Anyone who extrapolates from last night's outcome does so at their peril.
Obama won IA, lost NH, and wasn't on the ballot in MI. You can't a) call that a win for Obama and b) extrapolate it to the rest of the country as Bowers did:
If he can trounce Clinton among African-Americans without even being on the ballot, it seems that Obama has solidified African-Americans behind him nationwide.
Rep. Conyers (D) is an Obama supporter and he pushed for the state's African-American community to vote "uncommitted."
Both Conyers and his wife pushed that option in radio and tv ads so last night's outcome isn't much of a surprise. Josh Marshall is right about not reading too much into last night's results.

comment on a post Well, Well: Edwards goes Positive while Hillary and Obama Attack Each Other in Crunch Time over 6 years ago
The poll is by Zogby Interactive, which means it's an online poll (missing, say, elderly voters) and is not a random sample of the population so right out of the box, it's got technical problems.
The Zogby Internet polling has a questionable track record in statewide races for Senate and Governor in 2006, where they often far over-estimated the competitiveness of races compared to conventional phone polls taken at the same time. One way to make sense of those problems turns out not to help much here. It is reasonable that the people who volunteer to take political polls over the internet are considerably more interested in politics (and likely more strongly partisan) than is a random sample of likely voters. That should be expected to lead to fewer people with "don't know" responses as better informed and more partisan respondents are likely to both know more about the candidates and to have made up their minds sooner than a proper random sample. That helps explain why Zogby's 2006 internet polls looked as they did.
Without access to the raw data it is impossible to test any speculation here. But here is one possibility: Internet polls, presumably including Zogby's, use weighting to adjust for non-representativeness in their volunteer respondents. (There is a huge debate about whether this, and more sophisticated approaches, can produce generalizable population estimates with good statistical properties, but we'll leave that for another day.) Clinton has more support among women and somewhat older people. Both those groups are likely to be underrepresented in any pool of internet respondents. As a result the responses of those with these characteristics who ARE present in the sample are likely to be weighted up quite a bit to reach population proportions in the weighted sample. If the relatively few older women who are in the sample are ALSO atypical in other ways that both make them volunteer for internet surveys AND be less disposed to support Clinton than are non-internet volunteering older women, then weighting these respondents up won't properly capture Clinton's support and will lead to a systematic underestimate of her support.
That could do it, but it sounds pretty tortured to me.
I'd check the software one more time.
And based on the large outliers the Clinton results produce, I'd hold off on the Reuters headline until I saw some confirmation from other polls.

comment on a post Obama Proposes Broad Government Reforms over 6 years ago
This is a bullshit proposal and I say that as the spouse of a long-term government employee.
You know what government needs to work better? More people. Good people. Qualified people. My husband's workload has increased a) because he's very good at what he does and b) there aren't enough people hired to help take on the work that needs to be done.
Public service is not seen as a viable employment option. The hiring process takes too long. The private sector offers better and higher salaries. Do you have any clue how many contractors are working for the federal government, making lots of money but doing very little? Too many.
There are going to be lots of retirements coming up in the federal workforce. Who will replace them? Solving that problem will go a long way to help change the way government works, not some bullshit technology proposal from a freshman senator who has not the first clue about how the federal government actually operates.
But because it fell from the lips of Barack Obama, it's perfection.
Obama will integrate citizens into the actual business of government.
Here's some advice: You can't get anything done by committee. If he wants to improve the actual business of government so much, learn how it operates first.
comment on a post Edwards Won't Pledge To Support Hillary? over 6 years ago
Who cares at this point? The first vote hasn't even been cast and already people have to know if Edwards will pledge to support Hillary.
Aren't there better ways to spend valuable time before the Iowa caucus? Sheesh.
on a comment on Dodd Hits Edwards for His Anger over 6 years ago
There are some unsupported assertions lurking in that comment, to wit:
He seems to think he is special and entitled to this nomination
Proof please?
He is not a team player.
Again, this statement lacks evidence.
comment on a post Obama's Remarkable J-J Speech over 6 years ago
Brilliant, my ass, especially if he's still saying stuff like this:
I am running for president because I am sick and tired of Democrats thinking that the only way to look tough on national security by talking and acting and voting like George Bush Republicans.
I don't give a shit he's calling out Hillary Clinton. He can find a more creative way to do that without running against the Democratic Party. He's been criticising them even before he officially declared.
Hard to say he wants to lead the United States of America and sing kumbayah about how he loves being a Democrat when he never gave a damn about the party to begin with.
on a comment on Obama aides want reporters to probe into Clinton's sex life over 6 years ago
And Axelrod worked for the Tribune. NYTimes:
Axelrod is known for operating in this gray area, part idealist, part hired muscle. It is difficult to discuss Axelrod in certain circles in Chicago without the matter of the Blair Hull divorce papers coming up. As the 2004 Senate primary neared, it was clear that it was a contest between two people: the millionaire liberal, Hull, who was leading in the polls, and Obama, who had built an impressive grass-roots campaign. About a month before the vote, The Chicago Tribune revealed, near the bottom of a long profile of Hull, that during a divorce proceeding, Hull's second wife filed for an order of protection. In the following few days, the matter erupted into a full-fledged scandal that ended up destroying the Hull campaign and handing Obama an easy primary victory. The Tribune reporter who wrote the original piece later acknowledged in print that the Obama camp had "worked aggressively behind the scenes" to push the story. But there are those in Chicago who believe that Axelrod had an even more significant role -- that he leaked the initial story. They note that before signing on with Obama, Axelrod interviewed with Hull. They also point out that Obama's TV ad campaign started at almost the same time. Axelrod swears up and down that "we had nothing to do with it" and that the campaign's television ad schedule was long planned. "An aura grows up around you, and people assume everything emanates from you," he told me.
comment on a post Obama aides want reporters to probe into Clinton's sex life over 6 years ago
One of the comments over at the Politico raised a good question: Just who was behind the unsealing of Jack Ryan's divorce records? Who first raised the allegations that Blair Hull (Obama's primary opponent) threatened to kill his wife during an argument?
Chicago politics what they are, could it have been someone associated with Obama's Senate campaign? Or someone who was vested in Obama winning?
comment on a post Governor Deval Patrick To Endorse Barack Obama over 6 years ago
Hardly a surprise. Obama endorsed Patrick last June. Axelrod worked for Patrick too:
The man who has honed that message for both candidates is veteran Chicago political strategist David Axelrod, who guided Obama's Senate campaign and Patrick's gubernatorial bid and is now a top strategist on Obama's presidential effort.
Axelrod said Obama was the first person he called when Patrick's campaign approached him to work on the governor's race, and that Obama was "effusive" about Patrick.
comment on a post National Enquirer, Wonkette, bullshit bucket over 6 years ago
If you've ever read The Washington Note, you figure Steve Clemons is a pretty level headed, thoughtful guy.
Not today. He was wringing his hands plenty over this story:
Trouble for John Edwards?
This is either true -- or it's a lie. If part of a dirty tricks operation, it's odd that John Edwards would be the target.
I like and respect Huffington Post's Sam Stein who wrote the first thoughtful inquiry into what might be going on. Others have rushed to judgment, perhaps wrongly.
But given the tailwind this is getting in the blogosphere -- even among the left end -- Edwards will either have to zap hard those promulgating this extramarital drama and disavow her (as well as explain the $114,461 that went for some pretty lousy campaign videos), or he'll have to do his best at pulling an Alexander Hamilton, something Bill Clinton should have done regarding Monica Lewinsky.
More on Hamilton's confessions about adultery and denial of corruption here.
When challenged, Clemons said he was raising "the same questions tactfully that Sam Stein is." How thoughtful.
And Clemons' reaction to Jerome's post? Apparently, Hunter's denial wasn't worded correctly for him:
Technically, I wish Hunter had said flatly: "I had no sexual affair of any kind with John Edwards." Some on the right will read her statement as a non-denial denial.
But at least someone has said something in defense of Edwards as he has been quiet. If the veracity of Hunter's denial is solid, then Edwards and/or Hunter should demand a retraction from the National Enquirer and sue if they don't get it.
And because this story had appeared on HuffPo and Slate--"not exactly bastions of conservative conspiracy" according to Clemons--there must be more than a grain of truth to what's being said.
I'm off to delete TWN from my blogroll.

NBC News journalist and author Tom Brokaw will serve as moderator for the state governor's debate between Republican candidate Meg Whitman and Democrat Jerry Brown at Dominican University of California on Oct. 12.
The hourlong debate will air live from Angelico Hall at 6:30 p.m. on the California NBC Local Media stations including NBC Bay Area, KNBC Los Angeles, KNSD San Diego, on NBC affiliates KCRA in Sacramento and KSBW in Salinas-Monterey, and will be offered to other California NBC stations. Brokaw, who was the anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News from 1982 to 2004, is currently a special correspondent for NBC News.
"This election comes at a critical time for the citizens of California, and as the campaign unfolds over the next few months, the country will be watching to see who will become the next governor," Brokaw said. "I am particularly excited about participating in this debate because I began my NBC News career covering California politics in 1966."
Dominican President Joseph Fink said the university is pleased that both candidates accepted the invitation and that Brokaw will pose the questions to the contenders.
"The fact that a journalist of Tom's stature is involved in the debate reflects the impact that California has on issues facing our country from health care to economic recovery," Fink said. "As a university known for social responsibility, Dominican is well-positioned to offer a thoughtful platform for the candidates to present their views."
Phil Alongi, executive producer of the debate, said the race to the statehouse is one of the most highly watched electoral contests in the nation.
"NBC is providing this evening statewide broadcast of the debate as part of its continuing news commitment to informing the voters of California," Alongi said.
Dominican spokesman David Albee said students, faculty, community leaders and residents will be invited to the debate. Tickets will be free.
Some attendees will be included by invitation and others may be asked to participate in a lottery to fairly award seats to the largest number possible of those interested in attending. Simultcast rights are being discussed, Albee said.
Angelico Hall is at 50 Acacia Ave. on the Dominican campus.
The candidates have also agreed to confront each other on Sept. 28 an the U.C. Davis campus and on Oct. 2 at California State University in Fresno.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Annabelle Fab but gets very hot I love this hairdryer but it has one fault. You either have to have it at a heat whereby it burns your scalp (I have short hair), or have it blowing cold. The lower warm heat is too hot. Otherwise it is good to hold, lightweight, and I do like it, but the heat is a big strong and too hot when it is near to your scalp. 24 July 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Libbysmum What a brilliant hair dryer Really powerful so cuts down the time it takes to style my hair and looks good too - just wish I'd bought one sooner and saved myself all the hassle I had with my old one. Would definitely recommend one to my friends. Delivery was really quick as well. 20 July 2013

On Monday, fire investigators spent the day searching through the remains of the house on the corner of Spruce and 12th.
The damage was severe making their efforts more difficult. They believe the fire started in the basement, but nothing is certain yet.
Due to the severity of the fire, it could be some time before an exact cause is known.
Luckily no one was home at the time of the blaze, and winds were light so the fire didn't spread to the neighbor's homes.
