Welcome to yet another great edition of The BoBo Carnival of Politics – and Happy December. There are only 18 days left before Christmas – if any of you are actually keeping track. As with weeks prior – another great grouping of article submissions yet again! We have 18 great posts to read this week – so – grab another soda or coffee or whatever your quaffage of choice is while you blog cruise and check each of these out.
Steve Simbeck presents I just ran over a pig-footed bandicoot with my Edsel so where is my bailout? posted at No Mato mi Pavo.
That's some pretty funny stuff over there. I'll have to admit it took me a moment to realize where you were going with it – but – I like the analogies. pig-footed bandicoots and ambersnails – good one!
Steve Parry presents Change We Can Believe In; Judging A Book By Its Cover posted at The Axis, saying, "It's mostly humor, but pretty much on the money."
Steve – thanks for the submission, buddy! I didn't recognize a single one of those names myself!
Jon Swift presents Conservatives Need a Bailout posted at Jon Swift, saying, "No one has been hit harder by this financial turmoil than conservatives. Although conservatives generally support self-reliance when it comes to others, the situation is so dire that the only thing that will save our conservative institutions at this point is a quick infusion of government aid."
If none of you have ever been to Jon's place before – this guy is a must read! I don't know about you other conservative bloggers – but – with the economy the way it is and with the fear in the market over an Obama administration – I've been hit pretty hard. I'm now to the point where I'm taking money from my kids' piggy banks just to pay for the hosting service (oh..wait..I don't pay for it) – nevermind. In any case – Mr. Swift's post is a satirical look at conservatives in the economic downturn.
Lisa Spinelli presents Warren Buffett's Secretary Pays More in Tax Than Warren Buffett | Greener Pastures: Personal Finance posted at Greener Pastures: Personal Finance.
Welcome back, Lisa. Just one question – who is doing his secretary's taxes? If she paid 30% on $60k either she has absolutely no deductions to itemize (which is very unusual) or her tax preparer is an idiot. Also, if he's paying HIS personal secretary only $60k a year – he's a cheapskate. Executive secretaries today make in the $80K – $100K+ range nowadays.
SpkTruth2Pwr presents Silence is NOT Golden. posted at The Apathy Remedy, saying, "When NOT speaking up goes wrong? A look at ethical behavior and personal responsibility in leadership, decision-making, organizational structure. Whistleblowers stand up!"
Nice to see ya again! This is a great post. In my past life – I used to be a litigation consultant regarding Qui Tam and False Claim lawsuits in healthcare organizations. You are absolutely right – you should never stand idly by if you know there is wrong doing. Part of the economic problem we are facing today is because TOO MANY people sat idly by just watching these things take shape knowing it was wrong. There is a federal whistleblower law on the books that states employers are not allowed to retaliate against any employees who file a whistleblower complaint. I'll echo it here as well – stand up and be heard if you know something is wrong.
Madeleine Begun Kane presents Irony Has At Least Seven More Lives posted at Mad Kane's Political Madness.
Ahh..but with satirists such as yourself – I'm sure it will be resurrected – most certainly with an Obama presidency!
BH presents Is Mumbai really anything new? posted at Bangladeshi Hindu, saying, "A detailed analysis of Islamic terrorism in India by Dr. Richard Benkin."
BH – thank you so much for submitting this post. What happened in Mumbai is indeed a tragedy and I believe Dr. Benkin nailed it on the head there. This was totally preventable – and – unfortunately as with the Indian leaders – I think many of our American leaders aren't paying attention either or taking the threats seriously. This is a must read article.
Sarah Scrafford presents Top 50 Constitutional Law Blogs posted at Masters in Criminal Justice.
Thank you Sarah for another great resource. I'm adding this to my favorites as I did the other list.
John Kaduk presents A Russian-Iranian Alliance? Part I: Russia posted at The Right Wing.
Excellent analysis John. Looking forward to parts II and III. I've suspected such links and alliances with Iran going back to 2003 when Russia first sided against us when we wanted to move in to Iraq. I believed then that Russia was playing both sides between Iraq and Iran. Likewise, with Russia building the "nuclear power plants" for Iran – I'm sure there is much more going on there than just energy swapping!
Archvillain presents Unintended Consequences posted at A Dark and Sinister Force for Good, saying, "Evil has deep roots, and the innocent suffer for the sins of those long past."
Very creative, Archvillain! It's plausible – that damned Henry VIII – I don't know what to say!
Bradley Hankins presents Let's Not Fail Our Students, Let's Help Them posted at Kayloo.
Hey Bradley – thanks for the submission. While I like the title – for whatever reason – at the time I went to read the article before publishing – all of your pages are gone! Hopefully, you'll have them up soon for the rest of the readers to enjoy.
Woodward Friend presents this is why we can't have nice things #1: citigroup posted at detroitist.
Hey Woodward Friend – thanks for this post. Corporate American may not like it – but – the majority of Americans are all for true free-market capitalism. I say screw CitiGroup and all those other companies looking for a handout from we the people. I still don't understand if we the people have told our representatives NO BAILOUT – then why the hell are they still handing out our money to those bastards. Let capitalism work the way it's supposed to – no government interference either in good or bad times. If they fail – they fail – screw them.
SpkTruth2Pwr presents Pre-Reqs for Taking the State Sec'y Job posted at The Apathy Remedy, saying, "Does Hillary stack up on the job requirements that really counts in order to be a great Secretary of State? Or is this one job she will NOT be good at?"
Well – I don't share your same optimism. I wouldn't have given her a check in any of the categories you used. Oh well, but then again – I'm one of those evil conservatives! I just don't trust either of the Clintons.
Jeremy R. Shown presents This Time Will Be Different. No Really, I Mean It. posted at Rhymes With Clown, saying, "Do we really want to double down on government intervention and regulation?"
"Rhymes With Clown" – a man after this clown's heart!! I like the way you think Jeremy. I'm still trying to figure out how those Dems and anti-capitalist can sincerely state that our corporations (any corporation) in this country is unregulated. I too believe we are seeing the problems we are due largely because of too much government regulation and intervention.
Mike Cavin presents George "Quacking" Bush – Lame Duck?, posted at Inside Government.
A most excellent analysis and explanation of just what a "lame duck" is as it relates to our government. I must agree with your opinion about GWB as well. He essentially has already turned over the office to Obama.
Alli presents How to Save the Republic – Part 3 – Repeal the Direct Election of Senators posted at The Smoking Argus, saying, "We must understand that the Central Bankers who sought to regain control over our money supply and monetary policy at the beginning of the 20th century did indeed learn a precious lesson from the demise of the 2nd Central Bank of the United States…"
This is a very long post – but well worth the read. If anyone is interested in how the Federal Reserve came to pass and how our Senators are complicit with removing the banking powers from our government – this is a very detailed historical account. Only one thing though – I was under the impression that Senators were still subject to recall by state Governors if the people of the state so choose. But, I'm in agreement – we need to do away with career politicians.
Wenchypoo presents The Truth About the Economy and Job Creation (L-O-N-G) posted at Wisdom From Wenchypoo's Mental Wastebasket.
Hey Wenchypoo – nice to see you again – it's been a while! You weren't kidding when you said this was a long post. But, I thoroughly enjoyed it. You were right on target with all of your points with regards to our economy being a bunch of individuals conducting transactions. I too fear what will happen to this economy when Obama gets in and starts adding barriers to business. If they try to start this "green" business bullshit – we're REALLY in trouble. Global warming is a hoax and all the reports coming out have said the earth has actually been cooling the last 7 years and they expect 2009 to be even cooler. With these types of reports coming out – no investor or venture capitalist would be willing to sink their money in a losing business. While the rest of the world is coming around and realizing "green" is not the way to go – our government is going to screw us with all these "green" mandates. Excellent post – your last paragraph is an excellent conclusion.

As I recall the story of Thanksgiving taught to me the idea behind the feast was the Pilgrims inviting their fellow native neighbors to share in their bounty as a direct result of their Native American friends teaching them how to sow the seeds to plant and grow crops up there in Massachusetts. I have not found anything elsewhere that says this is factually incorrect. Pilgrims and Indians sitting together to enjoy a feast to give thanks.
So – only in California can something as ridiculous as this happen:
Claremont parents clash over kindergarten Thanksgiving costumes
For decades, Claremont kindergartners have celebrated Thanksgiving by dressing up as pilgrims and Native Americans and sharing a feast. But on Tuesday, when the youngsters meet for their turkey and songs, they won't be wearing their hand-made bonnets, headdresses and fringed vests.
Parents in this quiet university town are sharply divided over what these construction-paper symbols represent: A simple child's depiction of the traditional (if not wholly accurate) tale of two factions setting aside their differences to give thanks over a shared meal? Or a cartoonish stereotype that would never be allowed of other racial, ethnic or religious groups?
Hmmm…what the hell does that last sentence mean? Since when is wearing traditionally, and factually accurate, costumes become a cartoonish stereotype?
"It's demeaning," Michelle Raheja, the mother of a kindergartner at Condit Elementary School, wrote to her daughter's teacher. "I'm sure you can appreciate the inappropriateness of asking children to dress up like slaves (and kind slave masters), or Jews (and friendly Nazis), or members of any other racial minority group who has struggled in our nation's history."
Oh..you have got to be kidding me?!?!? Comparing the Thanksgiving day feast to Nazis and Slave owners? You need to just shut the hell up lady and move on! Get over yourself! These are kids enjoying century old traditions practiced by millions before them! What the hell crawled up your ass? Are you seriously trying to deny the fact that your ancestors wore that type of clothing – despite the FACT there is evidence of it?
Raheja, whose mother is a Seneca, wrote the letter upon hearing of a four-decade district tradition, where kindergartners at Condit and Mountain View elementary schools take annual turns dressing up and visiting the other school for a Thanksgiving feast. This year, the Mountain View children would have dressed as Native Americans and walked to Condit, whose students would have dressed as Pilgrims.
Raheja, an English professor at UC Riverside who specializes in Native American literature, said she met with teachers and administrators in hopes that the district could hold a public forum to discuss alternatives that celebrate thankfulness without "dehumanizing" her daughter's ancestry.
You elitist snobby bitch! How the hell is asking children to dress up in factually traditional clothing "dehumanizing?" What is your agenda? Why are you trying to ruin Thanksgiving? Did you have a bad experience as a child or something? Why would you deny your own child the pleasure of enjoying and learning about the Thanksgiving feast? She's only 5 years old for crying out loud!
"There is nothing to be served by dressing up as a racist stereotype," she said.
What?!?!?!? Sounds to me like you're actually ashamed of your heritage. It is NOT a racist stereotype. Your ancestors wore ornamental headdresses on special occasions and ceremonies! I guess the Seminole Indians here in Florida who dress up in traditional ceremonial headdresses are degrading THEMSELVES? You're an idiot!
Aaaghhh. I'm done with this. I am so tired of some PC elitist pricks out there trying to ruin EVERY damned tradition we have in this country. It's bad enough they're attacking Christmas on a regular annual basis – NOW they have to add Thanksgiving too? What's next? Easter? Is some PC idiot going to start complaining that somehow it is an anti-gay Holiday because we paint eggs in rainbow colors – or – the Easter bunny wears pink so that is also somehow anti-gay? Is PETA going to jump all over Easter because it demoralizes rabbits and chickens everywhere?
If you want to read the rest of the story – click that link up there. These people just piss me off! I'll just have to add another "thankful" around my table this week – that being – I'm thankful there are enough common sense people out there who are actually standing up against these PC nutjobs for once.
Again! I have the great pleasure of hosting some really great posts from this past week from some really great bloggers. Bet you can't figure what a lot of them are about?
ChristianPF presents McCain/Obama – Who is better for your money? posted at Money in the Bible | Christian Personal Finance Blog, saying, "A debate over which candidate is better for your wallet"
Actually – that's the question posed over at this blog. It's up to you as the commenters to debate the issue.
Hairy Swede presents Doing My Civic Duty in Sweden posted at A Swedish American in Sweden, saying, "An American abroad votes conservative. From a very non-conservative country."
Having grown up in the military and serving myself – I found myself abroad on two occasions in which I had to vote absentee as well. I commend you for doing your civic duty – and from so far away at that! When I was reading your first paragraph – I had to chuckle – as that was NEVER my experience when I was in Europe! Then I got to your follow-up – good one!
Steve Parry presents Congratulations To Barack Obama posted at The Axis, saying, "Setting the record straight."
Excellent post, Steve. While I am not predicting doom and gloom myself – I will agree that Obama will most definitely weaken the U.S. The Republicans lost this election because a.) McCain was a very poor choice of candidate, and b.) The Republicans forgot who they were and lost their way. They kinda forgot they were supposed to be AGAINST big government, didn't they? This is an excellent call to conservatives and to D.C. Republicans to return to their roots.
Curry Kenworthy presents Conservatives don't really understand elections posted at Curry Kenworthy, saying, "Conservatives are brilliant on the issues, but liberals know how to get out the vote–and change the culture."
Eh! I sorta agree. There was a huge turnout during the Reagan years to get people involved. However, for the most part, I would agree with a lot of the rest of what you have to say. In fact, Obama used technology brilliantly as compared to the McCain campaign. You wouldn't believe how many "MyObamaSpace" pages I came across. Apparently, they set up their own Obama campaign social network. Additionally, they collected millions of cell phone numbers and were sending out texts messages regularly on election day to get those young'ns out there to vote. The turnout was the same as in 2004 – but – they pulled the youth vote in that wasn't there before. I think a lot of Republicans and Conservatives stayed home this year.
The Hip Hop Democrat presents Jay-Z running for Mayor of New York City in 2009? posted at The Hip Hop DEMOCRAT.
Now that is funny! But, let me also remind you of a few other celebrity politicians – mostly from the past: Ronald Reagan, Sonny Bono, Al Franken, Fred Grandy, P.T. Barnum (yes, THAT P.T. Barnum), Bill Bradley (former basketball player), Clint Eastwood (I lived in Monterey when he was the Mayor of Carmel), and John Glenn (former astronaut) just to name a few. The most recent ones we have are Al Franken and Jerry Springer. But, you're right – I can't see Jay-Z being the Mayor of NYC either. I can't see him filling the same shoes as Bloomberg, Giuliani, Koch, and LaGuardia, just to name a few of the great ones!
Sarah Scrafford presents Obama vs. McCain: What the Next President Will Mean for Day Traders posted at Currency Trading.net.
Well, I personally don't know much about day trading. I'm in it for the long haul. But – if I have any day traders who read this blog – there is some good info over there. While this is initially a comparison of both candidates – now that Obama has been elected – this is a good primer to follow up and see how Obama fares in the economy and what happens with the market.
TheMoneyHawk presents Reality Check: The President Can't Save Us, Nor Should He posted at The Money Hawk, saying, "Everyone in the country needs to read this article, period."
Ahh, yes! A financial blogger after my own heart! I'm a firm believer in personal responsibility! Most excellent post – a good read for everyone!
Madeleine Begun Kane presents Celebratory Limerick posted at Mad Kane's Political Madness.
We'll see! This freakin' two year election cycle put a world of hurt on this country!
Sam Douglas presents Mandatory Internet Censorship and our Right to Choose posted at Philosophy Hurts Your Head.
You know, I read about this and heard about this on the news. I sure as hell hope they don't try to pull this kinda shit here in the U.S. I feel bad for you Aussies. You'd think your government was being led by the Chinese or something!
Hortois presents Pumpkin for President posted at The Compost Heap, saying, "light hearted"
Um – okay – we'll let it slide by THIS time! If it weren't for that little pun at the end there – I probably would have nixed this one. And..considering Thanksgiving is up next here in the U.S. – and – I just LOVE pumpkin pi – these are good tips for pumpkin growers and gardners.
Ron McKie presents Hide the children posted at Phuck Politics.
OMG! Too funny – and yet – at the same time – so sad! Is this the next generation to lead our country! Lord help us.
GrrlScientist presents Living the Scientific Life (Scientist, Interrupted): Election Eve 2008 Celebration in NYC's Times Square posted at Living the Scientific Life, saying, "One of the nice things about living in NYC is the fact that there are often fun things happening that are both spontaneous and free-of-charge. One of those events occurred last evening and continued through the wee hours of today, when I spent election eve in NYC's Times Square, along with half a million other people."
You know – when I first read this – the first thing that came to mind was the last South Park episode with half the town celebrating, getting drunk, tipping cars, and puking everywhere (especially after seeing the picture of the guy hanging on the streetlight – that's EXACTLY what Stan's dad did, LOL) – while the other half of the town were either hiding in bunkers or killing themselves.
Those are some great pix you have up there. My favorite is the close-up of the police officer. Excellent blend of pix to illustrate your content. I enjoyed your journey!
John Kaduk presents Russia Starts Taking Advantage Of Obama posted at The Right Wing.
THIS must be what Biden was talking about! We'll see, John! I see the cold war starting all over again under an Obama Presidency. I'm sure his weak ass will back off. After all, he'd rather TALK – which won't mean shit to Putin!
Ron McKie presents Fuck this day posted at Phuck Politics.
Had a bad day did we Ron? I wish I had done as you and watched some movies instead of torturing myself through the evening watching all of that. My sentiments exactly!
David Lamb presents Riding the Wave of Recession: A history of economic depression in presidential politics posted at Killer Buffalo, saying, "I didn't realize you did the carnival so often. I'm glad I didn't miss my chance!"
One of my fellow bloggers from Inside Government! But – oh, David – how dare you try to tell us that Clinton left Bush with a higher debt than he started with! Don't you know that he left office with a surplus! Rubbish! I guess all those I.O.U.'s in the Social Security till didn't count! But, with hindsight being 20/20 – I would say that you were spot on with regards to the economic downturn being blamed on Bush as the primary reason McCain lost. Personally, I see Obama doing the same thing as Carter. While he is surrounding himself with Clinton era staff – we already know how that turned out – I think he's going to make even worse mistakes than Clinton did. I still don't see how those libs are able to seriously say that we had prosperity during Clinton's reign. I guess they will always re-write history to slant their way.
Joe Hayes presents Political Jokes posted at Restoring Your Finances and Your Faith, saying, "Some really funny politically oriented jokes, just in time for the Election! Includes Barack Obama and John McCain related humor, and quotes from famous people too."
I've seen some of these before – others are new! Good one!
PicktheBrain presents Obama, McCain Education Plans Compared posted at Ace Online Schools.
Well – since we don't really have to worry about McCain's plans – we'll just have to see what kind of damage Obama can do to our education system. Personally, the first thing I would do is get rid of that No Child Left Behind crap! The fact of the matter is – that program is designed to leave kids behind. They force low performing kids to drop out of high school and encourage them to go for their G.E.D.s instead which gets those from bringing their scores down. Not only that – but rather than teach the kids the basics – the schools are teaching to the test instead.
I think his most dangerous plan is to force ALL student loans through the government – just growing Government again! We know what his unflinching support for Fannie & Freddie did.
Raymond presents My Vote Does Not Matter Because I Do Not Live In A Swing State posted at Money Blue Book.
Personally, I think every vote counts. However, I do agree with you that our Electoral College system of voting needs to either be changed or completely eradicated. But – while you might think your vote doesn't matter nationally – it DOES matter locally – and – does have an impact nationally when voting for your Representatives and Senators!
GrrlScientist presents Sarah Palin: In her own words posted at Living the Scientific Life, saying, "Sarah Palin's greatest hits: Proof that all a woman needs to succeed in America is a pretty face and a tight ass."
I think you guys are being WAAY to hard on Sarah. She's a lot more intelligent than you guys realize. The problem is that the McCain camp scripted her. I've seen her in action prior to her being selected as VEEP. When she's not scripted – she comes off real classy. There's a reason why she has a 90% approval rating in her state – and it's not because she's hot!
What you may not know is that during the entire election cycle – she held a security clearance higher than both Obama and McCain. She's briefed daily on the National Security Intelligence because of Alaska's proximity to Russia. She had inside knowledge that neither Obama or McCain had. Obama is just now getting those daily briefings that she receives every day as the Alaskan governor. The Alaskan National Guard and the U.S. Air Force in Alaska are on 24/7 alert because of Russia. She knows the compliment and capabilities of the entire military forces at her disposal. Russia is a real threat – and – she's 100% correct when she was talking about Russia in American/Alaskan air space every time the take off. (I have inside knowledge on that as well).
Regarding her comments regarding the job of the VP – according to the U.S. Constitution – she's 100% correct about that as well! You might want to go back and read that document.
Her biggest problem regarding all those other interviews was that she got caught up in the talking points that she was required to stay on. I hope one day you get an opportunity to see her in action without the cue cards. You might change your opinion about her.
Alli presents Rahm Emanuel Advocates Compulsory Civil Service posted at The Smoking Argus, saying, "As previously reported, then Democratic Presidential candidate, Barack Obama while speaking in Colorado this past July, stated:
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objective that we've set. We've gotta have a "Civilian National Security Force" that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.""
Excellent post Alli. I've lived overseas where military service is compulsory. I would hate to see this happen in this country – even in a Civilian National Security Force. Sounds kinda like Hitler's Brown Shirts to me. Also – wasn't it JFK that instituted the draft? It seems to me those loony liberals who are supposed to be all about civil liberties and freedom are the first ones to push FORCED service to the country.
Steve Faber presents How Will President Barack Obama Change What You Drive? posted at super gas saver, saying, "One thing about Obama, he has ambition. He also has an agenda to go along with it. A part of that will definitely have an impact on your choice of vehicle in the future."
Bwahahaha! That's some pretty funny shit! Oh – wait – you were serious! Hey, I'm all for getting better mileage to the gallon and all – but – not at the expense of our economy. These are some pretty lofty plans that you have outlined over at your place. But, I don't see it happening – especially the plug-in hybrids. We are sooooo far away from having an efficient fuel-cell battery that 2015 is not even foreseeable. We could have more oil and natural gas in production to fuel this country economically before that would ever happen.
Also – that use it or lose it lease program – in case you aren't aware – the oil companies would LOVE to lose those leases they have. There's no oil in them – but – the government forces them to continue to hold on to them and pay them for these bad leases. They've been explored and have been found to be empty. The problem is – the government won't lease the areas that HAVE the oil in them because they don't want the oil companies drilling. As a consumer – I would LOVE for those oil companies to lose those bad leases as well – it would help to bring down the price of gas.
Anyway – for those of you who don't know Obama's plans – this is a great place to find out! See if you agree with it.
DWSUWF presents President Barack Obama – Let the healing begin. posted at Divided We Stand United We Fall, saying, "Barack Obama will indeed unify the left with the far left, pull in the moderate left, and be the President that speaks clearly for the entire sweeping 52% mandate they represent. Congratulations to the moderate, centrist, libertarian, and conservative blogging brethren who embraced Obama's rhetoric of change and hope. You got what you hoped for!"
Oh how correct you are! BTW – I watched that South Park episode the other night. If you haven't seen the whole thing – it's freakin hilarious! Now – back to the regularly schedule program. Don't you just love the way the left is throwing out their olive branches and embracing EVERYONE in this country! You have some great examples there of just how much love the left has and how they will do what they need to do to help unify and bring everyone together for the good of this country! Oh, I sure HOPE when they realize the CHANGE Obama has in mind is not the CHANGE they HOPED for – they don't start blaming it on we Conservatives – considering we're the minority now and have absolutely no power in D.C.!
U.S. Common Sense presents Open letter to Barack Obama posted at U.S. Common Sense, saying, "This one has already been picked up by Reuters and Palm Beach Post. It is a letter welcoming and warning Obama on his entrance into the White House."
Excellent letter! How the heck do you get picked up by Reuters? This is a great read for all.
Kevin presents How to Deal With Election Withdrawal posted at The Red Stapler Chronicles.
Funny stuff – I'd like to add lucky #13 here – Start off everyone one of your statements to your co-workers with "My friend," and then make sure to reference all other co-workers as "that one."

What the hell is this world coming to? Check the headline link! A highschool kid in Wisconsin had to go to Federal court because his art teacher gave him a "ZERO" for drawing this picture over there to the right!
"Because it featured a cross and a biblical reference."
Okay…but get this….
"The lawsuit alleges other students were allowed to draw "demonic" images and asks a judge to declare a class policy prohibiting religion in art unconstitutional."
Okay..I see..its okay for our kids to draw freakin' devils and other demonic images..but they can't have God in their life and want to share "The Word" through art? I really really hate our public school system! Keep God out at all costs! But..hey..what the hell…sex, drugs, rock-n-roll, and the devil are all too welcomed! Damned socialist school administrators and teachers!
If you can take your kids out of the public schools and home school them…do it! If you can afford it..put them in a private school..whatever you do..get them the hell out of the public school system. They're being indoctrinated with socialist propaganda every day!
Oh…but it gets better…..
His teacher, Julie Millin, asked him to remove the reference to the Bible, saying students were making remarks about it. He refused, and she gave him a zero on the project.
Millin showed the student a policy for the class that prohibited any violence, blood, sexual connotations or religious beliefs in artwork. The lawsuit claims Millin told the boy he had signed away his constitutional rights when he signed the policy at the beginning of the semester.
His teacher, Julie Millin, asked him to remove the reference to the Bible, saying students were making remarks about it. He refused, and she gave him a zero on the project.
He signed his constitutional rights away? To the school? What the hell kind of bullshit is that?
Later that day, assistant principal Cale Jackson told the boy his religious expression infringed on other students' rights.
You just can't make this shit up! His Constitutional Right to FREEDOM of RELIGION infringed on other students' rights? Okay..so..if he signed away his constitutional rights..doesn't that mean the other students did too? So…how could he infringe on their rights..IF THEY HAVE NONE???? OH..that's right…only the Christian signed away his constitutional rights. Did I mention I hate public schools?
But…that was just the beginning…here is the real meat of the story with regards to this frakkin school…
The lawsuit also alleges school officials allow other religious items and artwork to be displayed on campus.
A Buddha and Hindu figurines are on display in a social studies classroom, the lawsuit claims, adding the teacher passionately teaches Hindu principles to students.
In addition, a replica of Michaelangelo's "The Creation of Man" is displayed at the school's entrance, a picture of a six-limbed Hindu deity is in the school's hallway and a drawing of a robed sorcerer hangs on a hallway bulletin board.
Drawings of Medusa, the Grim Reaper with a scythe and a being with a horned head and protruding tongue hang in the art room and demonic masks are displayed in the metals room, the lawsuit alleges.
So…like I said..the only one who "signed his constitutional rights" away in this school was the kid who believes in God and that Christ is his savior. Still thinkin' there might not be a war against Christians right now? Oh…its not only with the Islamofascist Muslims…its with our socialist public schools!
Seriously..check this one out over here at the Rottweiler 7 year old kid suspended for sexual harrassment. I'm telling ya…there's a war against the parents and everything we believe in going on in our schools!

A Pro Punch easily creates holes in 1/2" and 3/4" poly tube to insert barbed ends of drippers, microsprinklers or fittings.
To use: slide the tubing completely into the U shaped channel. Then squeeze the handle. You should hear a popping sound, indicating a hole has been punched. These punches are popular with contractors, landscapers, and commercial growers.
However, we recommend this punch to anyone that may be suffering from loss of hand strength due to arthritis or aging. A Pro Punch makes punching holes easy!

|Christmas Tree Festival showcases unique offerings
|Monday, November 26, 2012 10:34 AM
DELPHOS — Nestled among the retail and restaurants of Downtown Delphos is one of the jewels of the city: the Delphos Canal Commission Museum.
From Dec. 1-23, the museum will be transformed into a Christmas wonderland filled with more than 100 Christmas trees and other holiday decorations.
Since 1999, the museum has opened its doors to local groups, families and individuals to participate in the annual Christmas Tree Festival. Museum trustees also decorate more than 60 trees.
Volunteer Marilyn Wagner summarized the lengthy process, or "labor of love" as she calls it. Thirty-three volunteers and local organizations have been working since Oct. 27 setting up and decorating approximately 100 trees, wreaths and nativity scenes. There is still work to do.
As for the new displays, volunteer Dorothy Hoffman's creativity has been flowing this year. She has designed new theme trees, including "Grandma's Love" and "School Fun Numbers and Snowballs."
Tree decor can range from traditional Christmas fare to club themes to items for the Delphos Community Christmas Project. The Green Thumb Garden Club uses organic items for its offering; vibrant red and deep purple decorations showcase the Divine Divas Red Hat Ladies theme; Harley Davidson motorcycles, of course, for Do-Right MC; and handmade quilted items represent the Delphos Quilters Club.
Several families also get in the act. Four generations of the Virgil German family will spend an afternoon decorating a tree with kitchen gadgets that will be distributed through the Christmas Project.
One of the favorite displays each year is a nativity set made by Gerhard Laudick (b. 9-26-1853, d. 5-19-1912) for his grandchild's first Christmas. Richard C. Mueller (b. 9-23-1911, d. 12-02-1993) was the first child of Gerhard's daughter, Clara Gertrude Laudick and Arthur "Art" Mueller. Gerhard died 8 months after Richard was born. The original lighting for the crib was with coal oil lamps but it was converted to electricity around 1923. Some of the little figurines actually date from 1888. This nativity set has been a cherished part of the Mueller family's Christmas for 100 years and they choose to display it at the museum each year so that others may enjoy it.
Another item which has a long history is the feather tree, which is usually made out of green-dyed goose feathers. The trunk of the tree was a plain wooden rod and the branches were made of stiff wire that had feathers wrapped around them. Red berries or candle holders were placed at the ends of the branches. Because of the danger of candles, these trees had more space between their branches than today's Christmas trees. One visitor at the museum commented that it looked like a "Charlie Brown" tree.
The earliest feather trees in America were brought by German immigrants, so it is not surprising that the museum has one in its possession.
And what would Christmas be without a sleigh? The one at the museum is a one-horse open sleigh donated by the families of Richard Kimmet and Arthur Hoersten. This style of sleigh is also known as a "cutter" because it is lightweight, has gracefully-curved runners and a decorative body and usually holds only two people.
On the second floor amongst the military display is the POW/MIA tree and more are nestled in between the history of the city.
Passersby in the evening are treated to the ethereal "Lady Tree" in the museum's display window.
The tree festival will be open for Hometown Christmas on Nov. 30 and officially opens from 1-4 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday and 6-8 p.m. every Friday Dec. 1-23. There is no charge for admission; donations are gratefully accepted.
The museum is located at 241 N. Main St.

THE WEEK AHEAD, Jan. 19-25: Glengarry, Starcatcher and Golden Boy End Broadway Runs; Manilow Opens
By Blake Ross
Playbill.com's weekly planner reminds you that Glengarry lives up to its "Always Be Closing" catchphrase on Broadway… Peter and the Starcatcher flies North for the winter… Ford's Theatre celebrates Our Town's 75th birthday… and Barry Manilow hopes the St. James will be "the hottest spot North of Havana." It's your last chance to see some of Broadway's best shows as limited engagements end to make way for new spring shows this WEEK AHEAD.
Saturday, January 19
Sunday, January 20
LAST CHANCE→ The delightfully offbeat play with music Peter and the Starcatcher has its last performance on Broadway before re-opening at Off-Broadway's New World Stages this spring. This imaginative prequel to Peter Pan follows a nameless orphan and a wicked pirate before they became the immortal characters Peter Pan and Captain Hook. (Brooks Atkinson Theatre, 256 W. 47th St., btwn Broadway and 8th Ave. Click here for Playbill Club discount tickets.)
LAST CHANCE→ Lincoln Center Theater's celebrated revival of Clifford Odets' Golden Boy packs its last punch on Broadway. The gritty revival stars Seth Numrich as Joe Bonaparte — a young violinist who seeks fortune and fame in the tough world of prize fighting. Joe's father (Tony Shalhoub), his trainer (Danny Burstein), his girl (Yvonne Strahovski) and his manager (Danny Mastrogiorgio) have disparate views on Joe's future, sending the impressionable boxer into a tailspin. Bartlett Sher directs the first of two Odets classics we'll see on Broadway this season (the second being The Big Knife, coming this spring, by Roundabout). (Belasco Theatre, 111 W. 44th St., btwn 6th & 7th Aves. Click here for Playbill Club discount tickets.)
LAST CHANCE→ The latest play to take Off-Broadway by storm, Tribes, closes after several extensions and a recoupment. The David Cromer-directed drama about a deaf man's journey away from his close-knit but often meddling family stars a brilliant Russell Harvard in the central role. The play by Nina Raine took home several awards when it debuted last year, including a Drama Desk Award for Best New Play, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Play and the Off Broadway Alliance Award for Best New Play. It also received an Olivier Award nomination for its 2010 London debut. (Barrow Street Theatre, 27 Barrow St., at 7th Ave. Info/tickets.)
LAST CHANCE (Massachusetts)→ The pre-Broadway run of Pippin wraps up at Cambridge's American Repertory Theatre. Diane Paulus (responsible for the Broadway reboots of both Porgy and Bess and Hair) directs the revival of one of Stephen Schwartz's most beloved musicals, with the original Bob Fosse choreography restored and circus elements added in. Matthew James Thomas leads the ensemble as the title player with Tony nominee Patina Miller as the Leading Player and Tony winner Andrea Martin as Berthe. The show will come to Broadway's Music Box Theatre in March. (Loeb Drama Center, 64 Brattle St., Cambridge, MA. Info/tickets.)

More than 100 elderly and ailing people have less than a month to find a new place to live. Their nursing home is about to lose its government funding, and that has left their family members in a panic.
One at a time Monday, people showed up to Imperial Gardens Health And Rehabilitation in Nashville wanting to know what is going on.
The nursing home failed an on-site inspection this month, and inspectors said they found conditions that placed the residents in immediate jeopardy.
Medicare and Medicaid are now cutting off funding, and the nursing home will likely have to close.
Beginning Tuesday, more than 100 patients will have 30 days to find a new home.
While many people with loved ones at Imperial Gardens said they've been mostly happy, they did complain about lengthy wait times.
"For instance, if his medicine is due at 9 o'clock, I'm still sitting there waiting there for his medicine at 11, and I have to go find a nurse and ask what's going on," said Calvin Spence, whose brother lives at the nursing home.
State and federal officials have not yet released their findings.
The nursing home company said they're taking the situation seriously, are working to correct the problem and apologize to residents and their families for this "unfortunate situation."
The parent company, Vanguard, also promises to place their patients in one of its other facilities, but some patients and their families worry about where they're going and how they'll cope.
"I mean, they're trying to send some people to Shelbyville, and people don't have family in Shelbyville. How can they expect family to go and see them, especially when they go see them on a regular basis?" Spence asked.
Vanguard reps tell Channel 4 News they are still talking to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to try and do what they can about this situation, but, as of right now, their funding is set to be cut off Tuesday at midnight.
Vanguard also faces a stiff fine of $4,500 per day, going back from Aug. 7, 2012 to now.

Click here for the full side-by-side Candidate Comparison
Thanks for this opportunity . . . .
First of all, I want to express my respect for the political process, and my excitement at being a part of it. One of my goals is to initiate a serious discussion about the issues facing us. I believe such a dialog will be to everyone's benefit. I don't have all the answers; no single person does. But, owing to my two terms as a Gloucester city councilor, and a lifetime of involvement in local affairs, I am familiar, first hand, with the history and subtlety of many of the questions. I have the energy to seek and evaluate answers, and I have the professional experience to assess and enact solutions. Along with my interest and involvement in Gloucester politics, I am a businessman. And that's part of what I bring to this process. In politics, if you make a lot of mistakes, you don't get re-elected. In business, if you make a lot of mistakes, you face more serious consequences. I want to move forward with this level of seriousness, attention, and purpose.
The big question is, how do we want to run our city government? Do we want to settle for, and keep going along with, the status quo and lack of leadership, commitment, and the desire to serve? I don't. We have got to vote for some change here.
Issues we need to discuss…
There are several major challenges facing us as a city, and I think they are the issues we need to discuss. They are organically related, and you really can't talk about one of them without evoking them all. But if I had to list them, the list would be something like:

Getting to YES on the Waterfront
The "Working Waterfront" is not working – primarily because of the negative climate in which local property owners and business people have to work. Read more . . .
What Were They Thinking When They Bought I4-C2?
I4-C2 – that bedraggled vacant lot between the Building Center and the Gloucester House – is the poster child for this sad state of affairs. Read more . . .
Raising the Bar on Education—We Don't Need to Reinvent the Wheel
Community involvement, consensus, execution. These are the elements we need to keep in mind when thinking about our educational system as a whole, and about the future of our young people. Read more . . .
Cleaning House . . .
Think about City Hall. There ought to be efficiency in the placement of city offices – from the consumer's point of view, where you get your building permit, fire inspection pay your taxes, etc. Read more . . .
Moving Forward
I believe that government's job is public education, public safety, water, sewer and roads. We need to maintain a focus on basic services, not bloated bureaucracy.
In my 40 years of business and political experience, I've always considered service all-important. I believe it's equally important in the attitude within our city government.
When I am elected Mayor, consider me, and my entire administration, "at your service!"

The Los Angeles Lakers are "very interested" in Rick Adelman as a replacement for retired head coach Phil Jackson, reports ESPN.com's Marc Stein. Adelman was let go by the Houston Rockets after a 43-39 but playoffs-free season; Adelman had previously coached the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors and Portland Trail Blazers, and is certainly a West Coast guy.
SI.com's Sam Amick reported earlier Thursday that Lakers assistant coaches Brian Shaw and Chuck Person were among the early candidates to replace Jackson, who had announced at season's start he planned to retire and kept that promise despite a seriously disappointing finish for L.A. The Lakers were swept 4-0 in the conference semifinals by the Dallas Mavericks.
Adelman is seen as a coach liable to allow his stars to guide themselves in game action, and his offensive style trends toward up-tempo, pass-heavy sets versus the more methodical Triangle that Jackson employed. It's unclear whether Shaw or Person would commit to maintaining the Triangle, or whether Lakers ownership even wants that to happen.

Here is the Tolken99 Program. Remember where you save this file to. Go to its location and double click on its icon. It will self install.At the present time I know of no place to purchase Tolken. Until I can find a place you can continue to use Tolken in the Trial mode. If you have already purchased Tolken99 You only need you Registration number. Please keep it in a safe place. There are many other translating programs out there: they generally cost far more and none of them carry the old and outdated Norwegian words we need for genealogy research. Between the different forms of Norwegian (Nynorsk, Bokmal.); the evolution of the meaning of words over time; the changes in spelling over the centuries and the differing dialects from community to community; stir well and then throw in some archaic Danish (and not the eating kind) and even a little Swedish and you will come up with the recipe for what's needed.We are sharing our files with each other to help everyone facilitate their translating needs. It is my hope that in so doing we will eventually have a database that is capable of handling 80 to 90% of our translating needs without having to resort to constantly looking it up in the dictionary or having to keep begging for help with translating needs. This serves the dual purpose of making life easier for everyone, as well as creating a database of these words before the meanings become hopelessly lost over time. The translating program we are talking about is called Tolken 99 which can be downloaded from here.
(Unfortunately, there isn't one for you MAC users.)
Tolken 99 comes with a starter dictionary for Swedish. Other languages must be downloaded separately (English, Norwegian, French, German and Danish) You are able to translate between many combinations of the above; plus add languages of your own. You can add or correct theentries easily; and the program also allows phrases and whole sentences. You can import to it also; provided the file is in a manner Tolken can read. You can add to it to your heart's content. It functions as a shell, and you can pop it up while using other programs. It is notperfect but no computer program ever is, but is very well made and veryvery useful. It is also not difficult to learn. This site was last updated on March 26, 2008

Fla. seniors can now apply for reverse mortgage help
By Kim Miller
Florida's $1 billion Hardest Hit program launched its newest homeowner-help plan today, dedicating $25 million to seniors having trouble with reverse mortgages.
The toll-free number to apply for the program and find out more information is (800) 601-3534. A website has also been established at www.floridaelmore.org.
The Florida Housing Finance Corporation, which oversees Florida's Hardest Hit money, estimates there are 10,000 seniors statewide that are struggling to pay their taxes, insurance or association dues after taking out a reverse mortgage.
It's estimated 2,500 seniors will be helped by the initial $25 million set aside.
"After implementing other HHF programs that target the more 'traditional' homeowner, it is now time to help homeowners who are in the twilight of their years, on a fixed income, experiencing a hardship and facing foreclosure," said Steve Auger, Florida Housing's executive director. "This new program should help them sustain their homes, while they look at ways to free-up income to pay their homeowner expenses moving forward."
To be eligible for the program, seniors must be a Florida and legal US resident, must live in the home as their permanent residence and total household income cannot be more than 40 percent over the area median income. There must also be a provable hardship that has resulted in the senior's inability to pay property charges, such as medical costs, divorce or a reduction in pay.

Successful Launch!
The University of Calgary Swarm mission, which consists of a constellation of three satellites orbiting in two different near-polar orbits at 450 and 530 km altitude, is intent on providing the best-ever survey of the Earth's geomagnetic and its temporal evolution. Data gathered will allow for new insights into the Earth and its surroundings by improving understanding of our planet's interior, near-Earth space environment and the sun's influence on the planet. Swarm will be the first mission to make global, multi-point measurements of magnetic and electric fields simultaneously.
RAO is Operations Headquarters for amazing Canadian satellite research mission:
On September 29th, 2013 the Canadian Space Agency launched the CAScade, Smallsat and IOnospheric Polar Explorer also known as CASSIOPE. You may have noticed a new cube-shaped structure and dome to the south of the big ARCT dome. This is a high-tech satellite tracking installation. The data that the satellite collects while soaring over and inside the Earth's aurora and space weather is beamed down to the RAO for study by U of C scientists. An animation of the satellite orbiting the Earth is here. Stay tuned for an announcement about the official launching celebration of the RAO's e-Pop ground station.

Zero Percent Documentary
Why Prison Education?
The United States of America has the highest incarceration rate in the world (1 in 150). What can be done about such a shocking statistic? This question is hard to answer, especially if we take into consideration that 60% of released inmates return to prison within the first 3 years of their release.
Fortunately, there are people trying to fix this problem. Hudson Link (http://www.hudsonlink.org/) along with other partners (among which is Nyack College) address the issue by providing higher education to inmates.
Join us this upcoming Tuesday, September 25 to the viewing of Hudson Link's documentary: "Zero Percent" in Shuman's President's Hall. The viewing will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Sean Pica, Hudson Link's Executive Director, Dr. Nina Balmaceda, Director to the Center for Scholarship and Global Engagement in Nyack College, and others.

Welcome to the Friendship Quote of the Day!
Today's Quote:
George Washington
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
Today's Inspiring Thought: Fast Friends Are Rare
Hitting it off with someone immediately and becoming fast friends can happen, but more often than not a real friendship takes some time to develop.

I saw a TV ad for Mike Pence the other day, and I have to admit it was pretty good. He talks about the need for good, higher paying jobs in Indiana. He wants to invest in vocational training, for those who do not want to, or can't afford to go to a four-year college so they can get the training they need to succeed. I couldn't agree more. One place people overlook are the local trade unions. Men and women learn the skills necessary to become productive members at a trade.
Now I can't speak for all the other trades, but in the Carpenters Union, an apprentice goes through four years of on-the-job training. He or she goes to school at one of the apprenticeship centers in the area to learn all the aspects of the industry (at no cost for the apprentice). They learn about safety, the latest technology and the methods to do the work properly and efficiently. They also graduate the apprenticeship with an associate's degree from Ivy Tech. The apprentice takes extra classes offered by Ivy Tech and the carpenters pay for those classes. The training opportunities are here, we have the buildings, the instructors and the funding already in place, waiting for people to take advantage of it. Best of all, it's not funded with taxpayer dollars.
Unfortunately, not everyone understands. John Gregg does. Vote Gregg for governor on Nov. 6.

Northwich Victoria & Evo-Stick Premier Table & Results
Northwich Victoria Supporters Trust to host a meeting of fans to discuss club's future
2:03pm Thursday 3rd May 2012 in Northwich Victoria & Evo-Stick Premier Table & Results By Andrew Simpson, Senior Sports Writer
FOOTBALL fans meet tonight, Thursday, to discuss their favourite club's future after its punishment for breaking finance rules was confirmed.
Northwich Victoria, runners-up in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League's Premier Division this term, have been relegated to the competition's second tier after failing to convince an FA appeal board last week that it was not to blame for money owed to creditors not being paid.
The club's former administrator, Gary Pettit, said on Friday he would seek to close down the club as a result.
Northwich Victoria Supporters Trust, which said last month that it would set up a new club if the existing one went out of business, hosts an open forum later at Lostock Social Club from 8pm.
"Given the fluid situation, and irrespective of a fan's individual view of the trust and what he thinks our objectives are, we would encourage supporters to attend," said trust chairman Paul Stockton.
At last Tuesday's appeal hearing, the FA agreed with the Northern Premier League's decision to impose a sanction on the club.
However it decided that expulsion from the competition was too harsh, instead ordering that Vics play in Division One North or South from next season.
The game's governing body will decide in which division the team can play next season.
Meanwhile the team, runners-up to Cheshire neighbours Chester, did not compete in the weekend's play-offs semi finals either.
A day after Northwich were relegated to the lowest level the team has ever played at, owner Jim Rushe said he would not resign.
He told the Guardian that it is wrong to blame him for the club's third demotion in as many years, only one of which was because the players on the pitch were not good enough.
However Mr Pettit said on Friday that the league and the FA were right, adding that Mr Rushe is not right to accuse him of not making payments to companies owed cash by the club.

Why keep pushing the boulder to the top of the hill only to watch it roll back down? Put on some red and join a club that pays it's bills and has a strong balance sheet. Football doesn't have to be embarrassing.

Starling Marte made his major-league debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday, and as you might expect from the swing-first slugger, he didn't take a single ball in his first at-bat. In fact, he swung at the very first pitch he saw. So typical. He also hit it about 410 feet.
Yes, Marte rewarded the patient Pirates fans who have waited for him since he was tearing up Double-A last year, took a mighty cut at the first pitch he saw in the big leagues, and sent it to the right of the Crawford Boxes in Houston. You can see the video and listen to the call here, or you can get a hot, slick, animated image here:
Marte is the 27th player to hit a home run on his first pitch in major-league history, and the first since ... wait a sec ... Tom Milone, who did it last year when he was with the Nationals before he was traded to make room for Bryce Harper.

ODU Names New Director of Transportation and Parking Services
Scott Silsdorf will join Old Dominion June 25 as director of transportation and parking services, Todd Johnson, assistant vice president for auxiliary services, announced this week.
A five-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, Silsdorf received a joint M.A. in transportation engineering and city and regional planning, with a specialization in transportation planning, from California Polytechnic State University. He is also a graduate of the University of Virginia's School of Architecture.

For 10 years prior to his time abroad, he was the supervising transportation planner for Parsons Brinckerhoff, an international infrastructure design and consulting firm based in New York. Silsdorf worked as the project manager in both the Norfolk and Boston offices, overseeing major transportation planning projects for the mid-Atlantic and New England regions.
Silsdorf's ODU appointment follows a months-long search by a committee composed of staff members, administrators, faculty and students. Johnson complimented Sue Mitchell, director of Webb Center and auxiliary services, who chaired the committee, and the committee members for their work in conducting the search.

A group
representing North Carolina teachers is urging teachers to fight back against a
new state law that the group says hurts their profession.
North Carolina Association of Educators held a press conference Tuesday
afternoon to announce its Decline to Sign campaign in an effort to encourage
teachers to protest changes in teacher tenure.
NCAE says it plans to fight a state law that limits teacher tenure by using
employment contracts instead.
are being offered a four-year contract with pay raises totaling $5,000 in
exchange for giving up tenure rights.
contracts are a bad deal for North Carolina's public school children and the
women and men who have dedicated their lives to them," said Wake NAE
President Larry Nilles. "For their students, their schools, and their
coworkers, I urge all of North Carolina's public school teachers to 'Decline to
Elementary Magnet School special education teacher Jessica Benton called the
law "absurd" and "insulting."
notion of 25 percent of us being better or more worthy of an extra $25 in our paychecks
for a year is absurd and it's insulting," Benton said. "The bottom
line is it goes against the very collaboration we strive to do and have been
trained to do."
supporters say the contracts will promote better performance in the classroom.
President Pre Tempore Phil Berger said the law is meant to give administrators
the ability to make sure under-performing teachers improve or find new
professions. He said last school year, 17 of more than 95,000 instructors were
dismissed for cause, implying it would have been more had others not had
across North Carolina rightfully take pride in naming teachers of the year, who
are positive role models and leaders in their local communities," Berger
said. "Likewise, we should embrace the opportunity to recognize and reward
more of our top performing teachers."
NCAE said there were already checks in place to weed out teachers who shouldn't
have been in the classroom.
Pat McCrory has vowed to push for teacher pay increases, but the NCAE said it
can't wait because North Carolina is already losing teachers to other states.
The NCAE said a teacher could make $4,000 more in neighboring Virginia.

A restaurant many consider a staple in downtown Montgomery is celebrating 96 years in business.
Chris' Hot Dogs has been family owned and operated since 1917. Its green and white awning serves as a permanent mark on Dexter Ave. in the minds of many.
The business originally started as curbside service only and has been serving the same recipes to its hungry patrons for nearly a century.
Chris' added its dining room back in the 1940's, and through the 1960's it was a 24 hour bar and grill frequented by Hank Williams. The business's website says, "Of course, Hank didn't usually last the whole night before Uncle Chris kicked him out."

New look at the old S&W
The Scope got a tour of the new Douglas J Aveda salon/beauty school this morning.
Located in the former home of the S&W Grand restaurant on Gay Street, the renovation retained many of the space's historic features while converting it from a restaurant to a salon.
Architect John Sanders (pictured above, speaking to Messer Construction superintendent Aaron Brown) said the rehab didn't disturb the "hot-button items" loved by preservationists, including a sea-shell wall covering (as seen below), woodwork, ceiling treatments and a historic staircase.
Changes include improved light fixtures -- "we've got the UV spectrum correct now," said Sanders, referring to interior lighting that was sometimes a sore spot with restaurant patrons.
On the ground floor, the front of the building will be devoted to a retail space selling beauty products, while the back will feature cutting stations. The former kitchen now features individual rooms for spa treatments.
A former banquet area on an upper floor will now provide manicures and pedicures.
Marti Reinke, the institute director, said they are hoping the retail space will be open by the end of the week, with hair services scheduled to begin in January.
The building An adjacent building also includes classroom space for the beauty school, and Reinke said 24 students started in September with another 32 slated to begin in October.
