James Carville, 2010's Paul Revere, Sounds the Alarm About Today's Right-Wing GOP Lunatic Fringe
Sometimes a headline just says it all - POLITICO: Rove, GOP secretly plot vast network to reclaim power.
Yup, Karl Rove and the same swift-boat crowd of crazies that believed no smear was too disgusting, no blow was too low, and no lie was too outrageous to elect George W. Bush is now back with a vengeance and coming after President Obama and House Democrats, including DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen, this year.
As I told the good folks at Politico when they were writing their story on this, there is nothing that makes people hungry like being out of power. Wanna know just how hungry this crowd is?
One of these Rove groups already got commitments of $30 million. Another one set a goal of raising $70 million to elect Republicans to Congress. Thanks to the Supreme Court, these lunatic Republican groups can fund their fear-mongering attack ads with all the special interest cash they can get their hands on.
All of this so they can take us back to the days of protecting big health insurance companies, big banks on Wall Street, and big oil companies just like the one spewing oil into the Gulf of Mexico right now.

Isn't James Carville married with a CON? He's always waaaayyy too gentle and polite, a typical Dem.
Add extremists such as the birthers, teabaggers etc. and all these have become/are the CORE of the CONS.
That lt col (one of the birthers') who appeared on Anderson Cooper 360 is one of them. A doc for 18 years in the army, always followed his superiors' orders and now he refused because he doesn't accept Obama's birth certificate as being genuine. And that regardless of all the proof/facts out there. He never questioned any of his superiors if they were born in the USA. That darn racist pig.... one can see it in his face/eyes. He's on youtube. I loved Anderson going at him real good!!! - May 11, 2010 at 1:09 PM

Hm, Terry Lakin is the name of the birther.
Here's a link of the last appearance with AC. There was a previous show when the con talked more. This time he's hiding behind his lawyer.

Here's a link from this Terry Lakin racist (who is imo committing treason) on Youtube. There are more of them on youtube. Try to find the 1st interview with AC360.
He should be stripped down to his bare bottom and thrown out of the army.... perhaps thrown in jail. - May 11, 2010 at 1:27 PM

Terry Lakin is a "racist pig" because he does not wish to submit to the leadership of someone he believes to be committing a felony?
In his eyes, Barrack Hussein Obama's notorious birth certificate is not convincing. He, therefore, believes that Obama is not a naturalized United States citizen. Which, if this is true, means that Obama has been committing one of the most serious felonies possible for a year and a half.
Would you continue to serve someone without question if you believed that they were a felon? of course not...
It has nothing to do with what race Obama is, if he were white and born in Germany he would still not be eligible for president. So to call Lakin a "racist pig" simply proves that one is an ignorant bigot who needs to stem the flow of bowel movements exiting his mouth.
In addition, to know so little about the TEA party movement as to call them extremists automatically discredits ones entire argument. If one were inclined to be a slightly intelligent individual, they would take the time to read a few articles, and listen to a few ideas presented by the TEA party so that they may actually understand whats going on, rather than scrutinizing the interior of their rectum all day. - May 13, 2010 at 11:30 AM

My Dear Mason:
Anyone who refers to our president as "Barack Hussein Obama" is an obvious moron, and not worth responding to.
Likewise, anyone who is still making a fuss over Obama's "notorious" birth certificate. The State of Hawaii has just passed a new law, saying that its Health Department can ignore future requests from
"birthers" for copies of Obama's birth certificate. We at this site have been ignoring comments from "birthers" for months. It's about time the State of Hawaii caught up to us.
As for the Tea Party Movement, it has very little to offer other than a massively funded attempt to restore political power to Rich Old White Men. - May 13, 2010 at 12:46 PM

am i to believe that you think that democrats dont collect money from special interests? Is that what you think? Both parties do it and both parties are in bed with big business!! All president Obama is about is gain more power for the government..plain and simple. Just look at what he is doing, trying to take over health care, banks, and now wall street. Whats next? Im tired of people remaining blind to the fact that the democrats are just a freakin dirty as the republicans!!! Im done with both of the parties!! None of these politicians can be trust and we should vote every single one of them out!! As for the BP thing that is happening in the Gulf!! Our wonderful government decided that BP didn't need to have a safety shut off valve because BP didn't want one cause it was too expensive. When did that happen? Under your messiah Obama. So before you go and point the finger here and there look at both sides. Politicians cannot and should not be trusted. Put your faith in the common man. People are generally good and want to see good spread throughout the world. Politician just want power and money they have proven it time and time again.

Is that not his name? What are you talking about?
To Mason and Anonymous: There is a double standard with these people. The dems do the same things that the republicans did/do, the difference is that when the dems do it it is magically OK. Don't expect consistancy, logic, or fairness. Take lovely ANON2 as an example. She claims to be a "lover of mankind" and that she "cares about her fellow man", yet her posts DRIP with hatred. She's a barrel of fun!
You are right. These people have NO CLUE what the TeaParty Movement is about, or they wouldn't call them "extremist". It is again, an example of inconsistancy. In their eyes that TeaParty is "dangerous extremism" but the demonstrations in Arizona, complete with violence and vandalism is perfectly okay... - May 17, 2010 at 7:49 AM

The teabaggers are attracting the Palins, the Becks, etc, so they are actually cons on steroids.
Why can't you cons keep the religious nuts out? You would be easier to live with if you did. And then maybe I wouldn't have to pay for so many kids educations etc.
And if you teabaggers are so damned religious, why did you name yourself teabaggers? More hypocrisy? - May 17, 2010 at 2:01 PM

When America discovers how much lobby or special interest group money pays the political process (ALL PARTIES JIM) they will excercise the only true power we have.

No words needed for the article below except to say that if the CONS would rule, lynching about everybody who isn't a WASP could return. No MIXED races, different creed, religions etc. are accepted by CONS. To a con, a life doesn't have any value once out of the womb.
"Fox News Echoes Rand Paul's Claim that Racism and Discrimination Are Rights
FNC contributor John Stossel was on Fox News' America Live today where he voiced his agreement with Kentucky GOP Senate candidate Rand Paul that part of the civil rights ought to be repealed so that businesses can discriminate based on race. Stossel said, "It's time now to repeal that part of the law because private businesses ought to get to discriminate… it should be their right to be racist." - May 21, 2010 at 6:55 PM

If a private business wants to define their private laws according to what Rand Paul wants, then EVERYTHING should private at their business location.
Lets make the line between private and public property perfectly clear. If it is your property use your own resources to protect it and to exercise control over it. Stop all the public provided services that help you exert control. If a gang comes in your lunch counter and wants to take it over don't expect the police to help, don't expect the courts to intervene. Lets make sure to not blur the distinction. Quit using public resources to provide services for your property. No 911 for ambulances and no firemen battling your fires. GET YOUR OWN DARN PRIVATE PROTECTION if you want to do what you want on your business property.
Only the ones who are familiar with Rand Paul what he stands for and the civil rights law will understand the above. - May 22, 2010 at 2:10 PM

A truly outstanding article:
Rand Paul may be the vanguard of a new Tea Party politician, which should cause one party to get down on its knees and give thanks: The Democrats. The Republican Party has been infected by frustrated Libertarians, Fox-frenzied white angsters, white supremacists, and more nuts than you can cram into a can of Brazil mix. You do not need a political MRI machine to see the cancer in the GOP body politic.
Until anyone associated with the Bush Era congress is gone from the GOP, don't count on them getting much forgiveness from those angry, ignorant, rudderless folks who are looking for a gourd or a shoe to follow, to lead them out of all of this minority-induced "change" in the wilderness and back to the Promised Land of the mythic White America that Ronald Reagan told them to love as he rode off into the sunset with a nuke in each holster and his white Stetson.
Right now, the Right, Tea Bagger-filled clown-cars and Libertarian pie throwers included, are pushing for new, even more dogmatic candidates like Paul, who will drive even more socially moderate and fiscally conservative Republicans out of the party. They are now living in the same no-mans land of not being Democrats, but not having a voice in a real party, that the Libertarians and other other states rights splinter groups enjoyed for 200+ years." - May 22, 2010 at 3:13 PM

Millions of children work to help their families in ways that are neither harmful nor exploitative. However, UNICEF estimates that around 150 million children aged 5-14 in developing countries, about 16 per cent of all children in this age group, are involved in child labour (UNICEF 2011 State of the World's Children). ILO estimates that throughout the world, around 215 million children under 18 work, many full-time. In Sub Saharan African 1 in 4 children aged 5-17 work, compared to 1 in 8 in Asia Pacific and 1 in 10 in Latin America (ILO 2010 Facts on Child Labour). Although aggregate numbers suggest that more boys than girls are involved in child labour, many of the types of work girls are involved in are invisible. It is estimated that roughly 90 per cent of children involved in domestic labour are girls. (UNICEF 2011 State of the World's Children). Even though the prevalence of child labour has been falling in recent years everywhere apart from Sub Saharan Africa where it is actually increasing with regard to children aged 5-14 (ILO 2010 Facts on Child Labour), it continues to harm the physical and mental development of children and adolescents and interfere with their education (sources: UNICEF 2011 State of the World's Children and UNICEF Child Info webpage on child labour).
Child labour reinforces intergenerational cycles of poverty, undermines national economies and impedes achieving progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (see 2010 Outcome document of the MDG summit, p.13). It is not only a cause, but also a consequence of social inequities reinforced by discrimination. Children from indigenous groups or lower castes are more likely to drop out of school to work. Migrant children are also vulnerable to hidden and illicit labour.
UNICEF supports the Roadmap for achieving the elimination of the worst forms of child labour by 2016, which calls for an integrated response to child labour. UNICEF supports communities in changing their cultural acceptance of child labour, while supporting strategies and programming to provide alternative income to families, access to nurseries, quality education and protective services. UNICEF also works with employers and the private sector to assess and address the impact of their supply chain and business practices upon children.
Visit the resources page for more information.
According to the 2008 Resolution II adopted during the 18th International Conference of Labour Statisticians, the term 'child labour' covers:

Who said golf was a rich man's game? We didn't. It was a filthy, lying cyber-bully. You know which one we're talking about, the one with perfectly quaffed hair, a button-less future shirt, and a smug grin taunting you—almost daring you—to challenge him to an enunciation contest (he has never lost). But don't be intimidated by the way his eyes twinkle under the Canadian moonlight or how he stands on water as if he were Moses, he's incredibly self-conscious of his inability to inflect.
Whisper Creek's visionary architects, Greg Nash and Billy Casper, and Orchard Valley's architect, Ken Kavanaugh, present two championship-style courses of verdant, undulating terrain, flecked with challenging features. Golfers traverse Whisper Creek's 240 acres of protected wildlife sanctuary in GPS-enabled golf carts that provide yardage measurements, record scores, and eliminate the need to ask tiger-head club covers for directions. During an 18-hole round (up to a $68 value with cart), clubs send dimpled orbs hurtling past imported white-sand bunkers, pristine waters, and more than 5,000 character hardwoods. Over on Orchard Valley's 6,800-yard, par 72 grounds, manicured practice facilities conduct dress rehearsals for the course's 18 holes (up to a $76 value with cart), which span sand traps and wetlands, including the expansive water hazard on the aptly named "All or Nothing at All" second hole.
The Joliet Park District sprawls across more than 1,000 acres, engaging visitors with everything from sports to nature. Guests can wander through the foliaged paths of the Pilcher Park Nature Center and the organic community garden, or treat their senses to the floral colors and aromas that fill the bird-haven greenhouse. The 10,000-seat Joliet Memorial Stadium hosts high-school and college sporting events, while a dozen athletic fields fill with recreational players hitting baseballs, catching softballs, and spiking soccer balls when the referee isn't looking. During the summer, inner tubes transport patrons down Joliet Splash Station's high-speed water slides and 865-foot lazy river, and the glittery strands of Fourth of July fireworks color the skies above the stadium.
The Meadows Golf Club of Blue Island's 18-hole course winds over a 6,581 layout that showcases the inventive mind of course architect J. Porter Gibson. From the double doglegs on holes 10 and 15 to the back-to-back forced carries over water hazards golfers must face on 13 and 14, the layout enchants and challenges golfers without forcing them to read the Petrarchan sonnets a lonely flagstick wrote for a comely sand trap. Golfers can prepare for rounds at the club's on-site driving range and enhance their bag of trick sticks at the golf shop with gear from top golf brands such as Titleist, FootJoy, and Cleveland.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par-71 layout
- Length of 6,581 yards from the farthest tees
- Course rating of 71.3 from the farthest tees
- Slope rating of 121 from the farthest tees
- Three tee options

Sculpted around many lakes, The Village Links of Glen Ellyn's 18-hole championship course and 9-hole course fill 170 acres with a verdant landscape of challenging golf. Originally built in 1967 and renovated in 2004, the championship course has played host to 40 USGA and PGA Tour qualifying tournaments, including those for the 2012 U.S. Open and 2008 U.S. Amateur.
Sixteen waterways meander through the grounds, directly entering play on all but three holes, where they enter play indirectly by threatening to take down golf shots with troupes of flying fish. On the par 4 10th hole, players must hit a difficult tee shot onto an S-shaped fairway that weaves between two large lakes. The 18th hole, also a par 4, features a treasure trove of sunken golf balls and golf carts lurking in three lakes that surround the fairway and in one that lies right in the middle. Once safely on the greens, players putt over fast A-4 bentgrass surfaces, a key addition from the 2004 renovation.
18-Hole Course at a Glance:
- Par 72
- Total length of 7,208 yards from the back tees
- Course rating of 74.9 from the back tees
- Course slope of 138 from the back tees
- Five sets of tees per hole
- Scorecard
9-Hole Course at a Glance:
- Par 36
- Total length of 3,303 yards from the back tees
- Course rating of 35.7 from the back tees
- Course slope of 129 from the back tees
- Three sets of tees per hole
- Scorecard
Marengo Ridge Golf Club, which began as a modest nine-hole course, endured a 25-year gap before taking full advantage of the surrounding landscape's diverse terrain and expanding into a sprawling 18-hole course. Course architect William James Spear broke ground on the front nine in 1963, designating a large, renovated cow barn as the first clubhouse and cleaving nine holes through densely wooded hills. This layout proved sufficient until a late '80s spike in the local caddy population—and business boom—made the addition of a back nine desirable. Construction began in 1988 and, two years later, a new nine-hole track opened for play, presenting golfers with a profound shift in scenery, as this layout was built on an expanse of open farmland. The old clubhouse lasted for three more years, but the awkward location and argyle-wearing cattle called for the construction of a new clubhouse to match the new 18-hole golf club.
Today, golfers enjoy the diverse layout of the 18-hole course from the first hole, the longest par 4 on the course, to the last, a par 5 severe dogleg right. Water enters play on nine holes, including on the first six, creating the potential for an extending water break for thirsty golf carts.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par 72 course
- Total length of 6,654 yards from the back tees
- Course rating of 72.5 from the back tees
- Course slope of 129 from the back tees
- Four sets of tees per hole

THE WORD CARRIER of SANTEE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL. VOLUME LI HELPING THE RIGHT, EXPOSING THE WRONG NUMBER 1 SANTEE, NEBRASKA. Jan.-Feb., 1922 FIFTY CENTS PER YEAR Our Platform For Indians we want American Education! We want American Homes! We want American Rights! The result of which is American Citizenship! And the Gospel is the Power of God for their Salvation! 5p* I Red Cloud Red Cloud was a member of a powerful family of Oglala Sioux known as the Smoke people. He was born in the year 1822 at the Forks of the Platte river, in Lincoln County, Nebraska. His father was a man of influence, a head man, who sat in the councils of his people but was not recognized as a great chief. Red Cloud did not attract any particular notice until after he was forty years of age. He was a good hunter and a good warrior. During the War of the Outbreak, 1862 to 1865, his sympathies were with his Santee kindred and he led a party of braves to their assistance in 1864 and was present at the battle of Killdeer Mountian, near the head of Heart River, North Dakota ou the 28th day of July. His own people did not come to regard him as a leader, however, until the late summer of 1865 when messengers were sent out inviting the Oglalas to come to Pierre to meet Goveruor Edmunds and other commissioners to make a treaty of peace. The messenger let it be known that the tivaty would involve granting permission to the whites to build wagon roads to the western mountains through the lauds of the Oglalas. Red Cloud took strong ground against granting such permission and refused to go to a council where such a proposition was to be discussed, and he succeeded in preventing any accredited representation of the Oglalas in such council. Even while the matter was under discussion and before the council bad convened at Pierre, Col. Sawyer of Sioux City, with a big wagon train of merchandise and a squad of soldiers of the Dakota cavalry appeared on the Platte, south of the Black Hills, in the very heart of the Oglala country, ou the way to Montana, building a road as they progressed. At once Red Cloud began to organize the braves of the Oglalas to resist this enterprise. He believed it could be done by a show of force and without blood shed. Nearly 3000 Sioux ami Cheyenne braves flocked to his standard. By the time he had mobilized his army Sawyer and his train had reached Powder River and wras engage'! in constructing a crossing of the stream, when Red Cloud appeared with a tremendous force and completely surrounded the little band and held them prisoners for 15 days On the 15th day a young merchan tof Sioux City, named Nathaniel Hedges, strayed too far from the camp and was killed by an impulsive young Cheyenne. When blood had once been spilled the young Sioux became rather restive and wanted to make a complete job of it by killing all of the white men, but wise Red Cloud, fearing be could r.ot lor.g control them, withdrew his force, released the whites and let them go on. He called his braves in council and they pledged themselves to obey his council and he followed the white men overtaking them at Tongue River where he again surrounded them and held them captive for a season, but finally allowed them to go forward and withdrew his force for the winter. It was a most remarkable instance of self-control on the part of the Sioux. The Oglalas at this time did not have a regular agency, but did receive some assistance from the government which was dispensed to them at Fort Laramie, Wyoming, which was their general rendevous. The next spring, 1866, the government sent a new peace commission expressly to negotiate with the Oglalas for the right to build roads through their hunting grounds. By this time all of the Sioux had come to rec ognize Red Cloud as the most powerful leader of the Oglalas: in fact at this time his word was law among them. On the 30th day tf June the Commissioners met the Oglalas under a shade built for the purpose, near Fort Laramie. Red Cloud was addressing the Commission and with all his eloquence protesting against the building of the roads through their hunting grounds declaring that such action would frighten away the game and the j Sioux would starve. While he was speaking , General Carrington with a thousand white J soldiers arrived at Fort Laramie. "Why do ; these soldiers come into my country?" exclaimed Red Cloud. "To build forts and open the road to Montana," replied Col. Maynadier. Red Cloud sprang from the platf rom, caught up his rifle and brandished it before the astonished commissioners. "In this and the Great Spirit I trust for the right," he cried and, commanding his people to follow him, left the commission sitting without an audience, i Red Cloud went to General Carrington and protested against his going into the Oglala country, but Carrington went on. Red Cloud called his braves together and set out to annoy and harrass the soldiers as much as possible. Carrington built Fort Phil Kearney on the headwaters of the Powder, under the flank of the Big Horn Mountains, but it was with great difficulty that he accomplished it, for Red Cloud was constantly upon his track, picking off the wood choppers and haymakers, driving away the game so the soldiers could obtain no fresh meat, stealing the horses and in every way making Can ington's position disagreeable and his work difficult. Finally on the 21st of December Red Cloud appeared before the new fort with a large force arid Col Fetterman went out with eighty-one men to drive him away. The Sioux led the soldiers into an ambush and every one was lost. Red Cloud continued to harrass the white soldiers until July 1867 when he with a large force attacted a small party of soldiers who were guarding the wood train at Piney Island seven miles from the fort. The soldiers took refuge in a lot of iron lined wagon boxes which were deposited in the middle of the island. They where for the first time armed with repeating rifles, an arm the Sioux had not seen or heard of. They attack the soldiers in large force again and again, but were driven back, the air seemingly being filled with lead fired by the whites, The battle was kept up from nine in the morning until afternoon when assistance came from the fort and Red Cloud withdrew. His loss had been very heavy. He was not however discouraged and kept up the war. ! Soon after this a new peace commission arrived at Fort Laramie and sent out for Red Cloud to come in, but he refused to do so until the soldiers were withdrawn and the road building given up. The commissioners continued to send messengers to him for more than a year but he always had the same reply. Finally in the late summer of 1868 the government withdrew the soldiers and abandoned the road and in November Red Cloud came to Fort Laramie and signed the treaty which is known as the treaty of Fort Laramie and it astablished the great Sioux reservation cm- bracing all of South Dakota west of the Missouri river and extending west to the Big Horn Mountians. Red Cloud always faithfully observed the provisions of this treaty and never again engaged in a war with the white people, though it is pretty certain that his sympathies were with the Sioux in the war following the opening of the Black Hills. He was settled first at Red Cloud Agency in northwestern Nebraska, but later in 1877 removed to the Missouri river near Big Bend, but did not re- Continued on Last Page *^S 3r+ INDIAN MISSIONARY TRAVELS TO j SANTEE, NEB., IN MOTOR TRUCK | This is the third ins'allment of Mr. Hurd's own story of his trip half way across the continent, from Massachusetts to Santee Normal Training School, with his wife, little daughter, dog, and worldly possessions The journey was made in a second hand Ford truck, which Mr, Ifurd rebuilt with 36 inch rear wheels and accommodations for camping in the machine, with a load of 3,00c pounds. The first installment appeared in the September-October number of The Word Carrier.- Ed. Diary: From Massachusetts to Nebraska via Ford Truck Aug. 16. Got an early start—Detour. Got thru Bellevue—Detour. Toledo—Detour, detour, ad infinitum it seems. And the roads we;e obsolutely the worst lever knew. Their only redeeming feature is that they are over level country. I made some remarks a few days ago about detr.urs, but they aren't a circumstance to what I could say about these. We are camped in a poultry-farm yard. Had to walk about half a mile for drinking water, but the lady of the establishment presented us with a mess of swectcorn—the first we have had this year—for supper. Aug. 17. We have peen looking forward to Bryan and mail for some time and we detoured into it in a pouring rain this morning I got a new suit of clothes and had it all tailored to fit me, but when I went to pay the owner of the store by check he refused to take it in spite of good identification.—I wish I had had my finger prints taken ! Those would be positive. I fooled around nearly an hour trying to get money but finally had to telegraph for some. These people are the most suspicious crowd I ever saw. They won't get stuck, but they lost my business by their manner. I shall replenish my wardrobe further on. After leaving Bryau we were misdirected into a mud hole beside a cornfield and had a chance to sea the hospitality of western Ohio people. I was endeavoring to get out with mudhooks when au Ohio car bearing an Ohioau skidded past, the operator paying me not the slightest attention. Ow! Well, two Ohio women tried the same trick but, alas for them, their Ford coupe skidded and slid into my outfit broadside, blocking the road effectually. They got out and used language which, I'm sorry to say, failed to dry up the mud. However, the bloekake, combined with my maniitr, secured assistance from the next comers, including a pair of good horses, and we all emerged by dhit of grinding, boiling, pulling and hauling. I believe this outfit will never get rid of that clay mud. My clothes aud shoes will need strenuous treatment to make thein clean again. We are glad to shake the dust (and mud) of Ohio from our feet, tho we are able to do so only in a figurative manner, as we crossed the line into Indiana, Our route carried us only about 45 miles out of our way thru Ft.

Northern Outpost for the Massachusetts Bay Colony
After five days of difficult travel by river and land from Fort Western (in present-day Augusta), Major General John Winslow arrived here with a force of 600 to establish Fort Halifax on July 25, 1754. Winslow described the activities that followed his arrival: ...On the next day, laid out the ground, began to clear it, seated our guns and mortars, hoisted the Kings colors with the beat of drum and sound of trumpet and discharge of our whole artillery and small arms, drank to his Majesty and called this place Fort Halifax....in this place we continued employing our people... in cutting timber and pickets,...sawing boards and plank, building storehouses, getting clapboards and shingles, procuring stones out of the river, making bricks, burning coals, etc. and by the seventh of August got in a good posture of defense.
When the flood of April 1, 1987, dismantled the blockhouse, crews recovered logs as far south as the Richmond-Dresden Bridge, forty miles downstream (photo at right). The blockhouse was painstakingly reassembled and remains on its original site today.

Fairmont High Athletic Director Michael Baker says his committee would like to start its search for the school's next football coach "as fast as possible" and make a selection before spring workouts begin. Baker is balancing football matters and coaching duties with the boys basketball team over the next few weeks.
He says this next hire could be the most crucial to date during his time as athletic director.
"We need to get moving on this so our (football) players aren't far behind in the spring," Baker said. "There are always various factors that come into play like the school board's time schedule, but we hope to have a new coach approved by February."
Baker says it's important for Fairmont's new coach to bring stability to a program going on its third hire in four years. The Golden Tornadoes, who return 22 seniors next season including quarterback Jarrod Neal and dual running backs Derrick Baker and Quinton Walker, are looking to get back to contending for conference titles at a school heavy on talent. Fairmont won or shared league championships in 2009, 2010 and 2011 and went 24-21 during that stretch.
Next fall, the split 1A/2A Three Rivers Conference expands to eight teams with the additions of South Columbus and Whiteville. A winning mentality isn't the only marketable trait for applicants however.
"We're looking for someone who will stand out in our small community and get involved," Baker said. "We've got some pretty good kids and we need someone who acts as their leader. I can't stress the emphasis on the community enough."
Facing pressure from the administration, James Atkinson resigned last month following a tumultuous 4-7 first season that included a postseason ban from the NCHSAA. The Golden Tornadoes lost their last four games by an average of 31.5 points but Baker said the decision to move forward with a new face had nothing to do with on-field performance.
"We just decided to go in a different direction," he said. "If you bring in the right person, you don't have to worry about the following season being challenging on the players. There's always an adjustment period with a new coach but it's up to myself, Kent (Prater) and others to choose the right fit for our community."
Atkinson says he's keeping his options open and believes Fairmont's next coach should have strong local ties.
"We had some major philosophical differences for the direction of the program," Atkinson said. "I felt like we were headed in the right direction and getting ready to make a turn with the pieces that are there. They told me they felt the same way but wanted someone different. Like I told the kids throughout the season and a few weeks ago, they're going to be fine next year no matter who coaches the team.
"The head coach acts as the director. The kids make the plays."
Public Schools of Robeson County Athletic Director Jason Suggs served as Fairmont's principal for three years prior to moving to central office and says he has confidence in Fairmont's search. Suggs is out of town this week at a conference in San Antonio but spoke with The Robesonian on Monday. "
I leave the final decision up to the school, but I do give them a list of who I think are the best candidates," he said. "I'd like to see a guy who keeps the students and community involved with his program."
Lumberton update
Lumberton High Athletic Director Tripp Satterwhite confirmed over the weekend that the school has trimmed its list of 30 applicants down to eight finalists to replace Mike Brill as the Pirates' head football coach.
"We feel like we have eight quality guys that would all be good choices," he said.
Like the Fairmont situation, Satterwhite would like to have a coach in place by the start of off-season workouts during the spring semester. Each of Lumberton's eight finalists will be interviewed soon.

5. | gaijin | ||
Japanese, means "foreigner", often used as a retort to people who use the term Baka. I called that pasty white otaku a gaijin and made him cry!
1. | gaijin | ||
In Japanese, the word means, literally, "outside person." In Japanese it's spelled 外人. It is often used as a contraction of sorts for gaikokujin ("outside-country person"), meaning forienger. In its contracted form it can be an insult, but in recent years has been watered down by widespread use in and out of Japan. In actual usage, a better definition would be "non-Japanese" since Japanese people will use it in reference to non-Japanese even when they themselves are the foriegners in a country other than Japan. Gaijin in Japan stick out like sore thumbs because they're usually a full head taller than everyone else.
2. | gaijin | ||
1.From Japanese, literarily meaning " outsider". A derrogatory and ethnocentric term used to describe a foreigner in Japan that has round eyes. Other East Asians are not referred as " gaijin".
2.A Non-Japanese person with round eyes, anywhere in the world. " why you dye your hair blonde? you want to be a gaijin??"
3. | gaijin | ||
In Japanese, this word means foreigner. Can be used outside of Japan, but unless the person you're talking to knows some Japanese, they may not know what you're on about.
Several meanings used include: 1. Usually used by wapanese people as an insult to mean "idiot" or "newbie". In that context, it literally means "one out of the group". 2. Used as a battle cry amoung foreigners in Japan to refer to their uniqueness (also see gaijin smash). 1. Wow, you failed that song on DDR didn't you? What a gaijin.
2. Yeah! There must be at least 6 gaijin in the kareoke booth! Woo! |
4. | gaijin | ||
Japanese word meaning foreigner. In Japan genarally refer to westerners. It doesn't have insulting implication. It might be insensitive call foreigner gaijin as much as call foreigner foreigner.
= gaikokujin kanojo wa gaijin to tukiatteiru.
She is dating with a foreigner. |
6. | gaijin | ||
Insulting Japanese term that essentially means 'dirty barbarian'. While an insult coming from the mouth of a Japanese person, other foreigners in Japan will readily refer to themselves and others as Gaijin. Much like Blacks in America use the 'N' word to show unity, so do the foreigners in Japan. "Hey, besides us, there's like 15 more gaijin at the club!"
7. | gaijin | ||
If you call someone "Wapanese" & mean it as an insult, they will call you a "gaijin" & mean it as an insult.
When used by non-citizens in Japan or anyone not in Japan, it's an insult meaning "uncultrued dumbass" rather than "foreigner." 1)"Some gaijin is going to be staying with us for awhile."
2)<as an insult> "He's such a gaijin! That imbread hick thinks his town is the whole world & that his way is the only way." |

The Metal X Electric Guitar by Gear4music
Authentic Looks
The body has a superior finish, giving your guitar the deeper, sophisticated look you'd expect from a guitar made by other leading brands.
Great Playability
A slender shallow contour neck ensures a comfortable playing experience. The body is made of paulownia wood; a particularly lightweight wood that helps our guitars provide full tone whilst remaining surprisingly lightweight and comfortable. The gentle side body curve also makes sitting to play this guitar a breeze - great for long practice sessions!
Full Tone & Response To Distortion
The combination of one open coil and one closed high output humbucking pickup provides a full tone, and response to the distortion you need for modern rock and metal without becoming muffled. The Metal X pushes the envelope further to ensure you get the sound you want as well as the look.
Press Reviews
This guitar was awarded 4 out of 5 by Music Radar - a leading online publication for musicians.
"We enjoyed thrashing away on the guitar and, to its credit, the Metal X withstood a serious amount of abuse."
"For aggressive solos, the bridge pickup really sings, especially on the higher notes, and the big cutaways allow unrestricted access to all 24 frets."
"The paulownia body...is a mix of smooth curves and 'you'll have your eye out' spikes and edges. It undoubtedly looks the business."
"...the Metal X holds plenty of potential, bolstered by a likeable tone and the all-round fun image." Paul Salter, Guitar Buyer magazine
"Acoustically the Metal X is bright and loud with decent balance and sustain. It certainly looks the part, and plugged in it sounds the part too." Guitar and Bass magazine

And how much is queerty getting paid to promote this movie? I'm not trying to imply that such advertising is wrong, but as a news site you really should disclose the fact that you are getting paid to "report" on Magic Mike.q
@Paleale: Your first problem is thinking that Queerty is a news site. It is not. Queerty is a blog that picks bits of information from other news/entertainment/etcetera websites and comments on them.
@Jakey: Actually, they got that part right. It is a movie about Channing Tatum's stripper years. The "It's like The Deer Hunter, only with cocoa butter and six-pack abs" part is the joke.
This movie looks lame! Then again it's not surprising that queerty is promoting it.
Looks like a movie to skip!
How much is queerty getting paid to promote it?
Another Queerty posted by the new employee str8t girl.
How much longer before this lame movie opens, str8t girl sees it, closes? Hopefully they littered the dialogue with Showgirl.esq one-liners so it will be a camp hit 10 years from now and playing on Logo every three months.
Am I the only one completely turned OFF by this movie and the guys in it??
The only way this would be a biopic is if they showed the early days of Channing's stripping as a go-go boy at gay clubs. Seems like an attempt to re-write his history into one that doesn't include gay culture. Just another celebrity that uses us to get famous and then tries to forget about us once they're at the top.
Yo queerty. Its 2012. Its time to get a new photo viewer. I shouoldnt have to reload the page 26 times to look at each photo. Unless you need the page hits that bad…
Like i've stated before; if you don't want to see this movie, you are not gay!
@jeff m: I have no desire to see this movie, and I am definitely gay. Channing Tatum is the only one of the men remotely worth looking at. Mathew is the most hideous of the bunch, but they are definitely all in the troll zone other than Channing, and if I want to see more of Channing there are sites for that, and those sites do not include ridiculously written "plot."
@pierce: No, you're not the only one. I've been completely turned off by how this movie has been shamelessly marketed to gay men. It has zero gay content. I'll barely care enough to watch on HBO in November when it's there. I think this one is gonna sink like a stone. Tracking is bad and they know it, thus the last ditch effort to pimp this turd on every gay blog around.
But god forbid Hollywood produces a movie with gay content that's anything more than implied.
Its a fucking movie guys, lighten up?
If you are so bothered by the making of a sexy film about male strippers, so dismayed about gratuitous skin and 6 pack abs, annoyed about blatant marketing to gay men, then why the fuck did you click through all 26 pictures?
This is a Steven Sodenbergh film, the multiple Oscar winner for "Erin Brokovich" and "Traffic" (IN THE SAME YEAR, no less) who made a huge splash into movies with "Sex, Lies, and Videotape." Mix in last year's "Contagion" and the earlier brilliant remake of "Ocean's Eleven" and the many more, demonstrate that Sodenbergh is an extraordinary film maker. I bet the film is another in the success column.
Stop the whining because the truth is most all of you are going to see this film, if not in the theater, then Netflix or HBO.
@Daez: "the only one remotely worth looking at"? well, we will have to agree to disagree. I think Matt Bomer is MORE than fine enough to gawk at. Same with Joe Manganiello.
The only one in the group that is a real turn-off for me is Adam Rodriguez. I just can't separate him from his douchey role in CSI: Miami.
Could do without Adam Rodriguez and Matthew MaChanasleeze gross
@Paleale: For the record, we are not getting paid for this post or by this movie at all. IF we ever do create sponsored content, you will see that clearly disclosed. Make fun of the movie or this site all you like, but we do disclose our sponsored posts. And you guys clearly like to comment about this movie, tons of comments and tons of pageviews everytime we post about this.
I'm not going to see this movie = I'll wait for Casper Fan to upload all the naked ass clips to Rapidshare, then I'll download every single one.
I can't wait for this thing to come out and flop already, just so every gay site on the internet can stop pimping it.
Strippers are gross to start with, and then they seemingly went out of their way to load the cast with nothing but men I recognize as attractive who do absolutely nothing for me. No interest whatsoever.
I have to say, I feel bad for the poor theater owners who are gonna have to clean up after the hordes of soccer moms get done flicking their collective beans in the stadiums showing this movie. It'll take months to get the stink of sweat and rotting tuna out of those seats.
Mr Gatz. I love Queerty I think you all are awesome! It has become my go to for pop culture, and quick news.I guess people forgot or are too young to remember or perhaps just plain ignert of the fact that homosexuality was once considered a mental disorder that could be fixed with a lobotomy or electric shock therapy.I was born in 1960 and my parents freaked when I wanted an easy bake oven for Christmas and wanted Barbie not GI Joe.I was sent to a shrink to get fixed.We now enjoy freedoms that 20 years ago were unheard of or at best underground.I think pierce ought to pierce her brain with a long hat pin. The Gay subculture may be vain,vacuous,and superficial but that is part of our charm.In my 37 years of living in the Gay community I have seen a lot of stuff,good,bad,and otherwise. What I don't get are these negative nellies who are so bitter that all they can do is piss and moan and bash and complain. I have never been with a woman but I popped out of one 52 years ago and I seriously doubt that they smell like fish. After all, hundreds of thousands of Lesbians like it and I certainly trust their judgement on this matter.Eartha Kitt loves men and so do I,at my age all I really get to do anymore IS look. I have been with the same man since 1989 and we love to see all the beautiful people in this world and in the Gay subculture. There may be a lot wrong with the world,but there is also quite a bit that's right. And Queerty is GREAT! SO I SAY> YOU GO GIRL!!!
Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Matthew Mcconaughey. Three reasons to go and see this movie right there. :)
Don't fall for it, gays! This movie is makes me feel like when I see a straight guy dancing at a gay bar: yeah, I know you think I'm hot, gay man. Tip me and look at me but you can't touch. The guys (from what I've read) don't even show frontal. Eh. I'm not watching it.
The outfit in 26 is literally the gayest thing I've ever seen, and I watched The Eagle.
@pierce: Apparently NOT. Too bad, because while this isn't Shakespeare, it does represent something of a watershed in str8 male self-regard. How many other movies do you know of where str8 guys consciously think of and promote themselves as sex objects? Psychologists say that a main reason for homophobia is str8 male discomfort at being regarded as an object of sexual desire by other men. This is a step in the right direction (as far as I'm concerned!)
Are you all serious? This movie looks like a tepid, silly, desperate attempt at marketing to the "gays". In actuality it looks far more focused to middle aged, suburban, white female demographic. It will make it's network debut soon after opening on the Lifetime channel for women!
If you all just look to the basics. It's skin and sex appeal, clear and simple. Who cares if this site gets paid, who cares if it has no redeeming qualities, who cares if this site isn't a "news" site. Who cares if it's about Tatum's stripper history…Take it for what it's worth. Sexy men that we all have fantizied about somewhere in our lives. Too much effort is spent on analyzing this pic, tearing apart queerty. I remember perusing porno magazines, if I didn't like the pics I didn't buy it. Same here if you don't like the camp or the story line, then don't go and see it. BUT, you will miss seeing the skin…just go to look at the men…have a little mini fantasy…touch your self, and go back to True Blood and another butt shot of Alcid.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is an enormously ripe, sumptuous Cabernet Sauvignon. It has all the hallmarks of the modern cult style, from focused blackberry, cassis and spicy chocolate flavors and profoundly ripe, sweet tannins to the balancing acidity and oak elaboration that adds that extra touch of richness ..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Rarely do you see a single vineyard Cabernet at this price. Juicy, full and forward, this wine is packed with red cherry fruit up front and beautiful notes of tar and sweet leather on the finish. An amazing wine for the price!"
Cellar/Tasting Notes The wine is robust and precisely focused on the palate adding flavors of black currant, cassis and dark chocolate with subtle notes of slate and iron. Rich texture, silky and velvety, it finishes with a complexity to ponder and enjoy.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "...gradually opens up to reveal huge fruit backed up by equally imposing, masculine tannin. If opened today, the wine will require quite a bit of air. Ideally, it is best left alone for several years. At this stage, the aromas and flavors are very much primary. It is the wine's textural elegance..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 El Alma de Jonata is a serious, structured wine endowed with considerable depth. Dark red fruit, licorice, grilled herbs and mint are some of the notes that blossom in the glass from this intense wine. Layers of fruit are woven together in this generous, expressive red. Some of the depth..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection is, big, rich, voluptuous and totally sexy. Mocha, chocolate, plums, sweet spices and black cherries jump from the glass in this full-bodied, intense wine. This is one of the more immediate wines of the vintage, but all the elements are very nicely..
Cellar/Tasting Notes " Opaque purple. Ripe, expansive aromas of boysenberry, cassis, vanilla and violet, complicated by olive and cracked pepper nuances and a hint of cola. Lush and densely packed, offering sweet, broad black and blue fruit flavors and sexy oak spice qualities. Dusty tannins add shape and grip to..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Opaque ruby. A complex, heady bouquet displays red- and blackcurrant, pipe tobacco, cigar box and rose oil, with suave spiciness gaining strength in the glass. Sappy and sweet, with mineral-laced red and dark berry preserve and cherry-vanilla flavors complemented by smoke and floral pastille..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Dark and saturated in color, this has earthy and meaty aromas like bloody, rare steak and charred bonethat sort of proteinous spirit. The actual fruit flavor is incredibly rich and concentrated in blackberries, black currants and crisp bacon. The impression is of a sweet, delicious Cabernet..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "While it is eclipsed by the brilliance of the 2005, the 2006 Monte Bello (68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc) is a very strong effort. Its dense purple color is followed by copious aromas of creme de cassis, licorice, spice box, and a touch of oak...
