In the autumn of 1961, Doris died while reading the last sentence of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart". She lived on Logan Circle in Washington, DC, near the Shaw neighborhood, three miles northeast of a Chesapeake Bay canal. "Villains!" I shrieked, dissemble no more!" The last sentence of "The Tell-Tale Heart" reads, "I admit the deed!—tear up the planks! here, here!—it is the beating of this hideous heart!" Doris read it and passed away, with a red pen in her hand.
Doris was paranoid about fleas. Her father, Golf, had forbid her to have a pet because of fleas. Golf lost his eyes during WWI at the battle of Saint-Mihiel. A German bayonet nearly took his face off.

A wrecking, imploding sensation hit his chest, and Thebe turned into a flea.
There were advantages to being the size of a flea—places one could go without detection, like The White House. He'd ingest presidential blood. Maybe Nikita Khrushchev would visit, with real Russian vodka in his system.

This is not an especially good performance, but I still find it to be incredibly satisfying:
So many questions about this shitty band's shitty anti-tax song:
1. Why is Republican music always so awful?
2. The video is packed with people flashing middle fingers and repeated shots of a sodomy-mimicking pencil sharpener, yet they feel the need to spell out "F—-" literally, as in "eff blank blank blank." Why the fuck don't they just say the word "fuck?" Who are they fooling? Whose standards are they meeting? Is anyone fooled by those blanks?
3. Why, after listening to this song, do I get Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" stuck in my head?
4. According to a press release, the lead singer of this band wrote this song because he "wants to speak out for all American working class people who are subjected to not being able to pay their bills, eat healthy food, consistently provide for their families and loved ones and of course, pay their taxes without being gouged by the IRS." Does he not understand that taxes help pay for programs that help poor people pay bills and eat healthy food, and that less taxes would result in more poverty? Or would arguing with him about taxes be like trying to explain filmmaking to Tommy Wiseau?
5. This shitty band's shitty new album is titled Censored by the U.S. Government. Was it really censored by the U.S. government? If not, then, why would they say that?
6. How much did they have to pay the people in the audience to pretend they liked this music?
7. Why have I spent this long thinking about this shitty band's shitty new song?
In this week's music section, I interview comedian Tim Heidecker about his Herman Cain-inspired album, Canthology: Songs in the Key of Cain. In the piece, I talk for a little bit about "an '80s-aerobics-video anthem" featuring "a comically impassioned vocalist named Krista Branch." It's called "I Am America," and it's best-known for appearing in the background of the atrocious Cain video that inspired Heidecker's album. "I Am America" has its own official video, but I prefer this one, with Branch singing a lame karaoke version of the song at a live edition of The Herman Cain Show in late 2010. My favorite part of this video is watching Herman Cain "dancing" along to the song in the background, with his top half ticking back and forth, left and right, like a metronome.
There's always a market, however small, for conservative-themed music. Branch seems to be the Celine Dion of the conservatives right now; her most recent song is about the plight of Israel. I wonder if she's going to do a teabaggy version of "Crush on Obama" for whoever wins the Republican nomination? "Mitt Is It?" "Song-ny for Romney?" I can't wait to see what Bonnie Tyler knockoff hell Branch will dip into for 2012.
"Just Before Election, Andy" is an anti-campaign song. It's a song that gloats about the fact that Andrew Johnson, who took office after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, will not be elected president of the United States.
Just before election, Andy
We are thinking most of you;
While we get our ballots handy
Just be sure they're not for you;
No, dear Andy, you'll not get them,
But you will get what you deserve;
Yes, you'll get your leave of absence
As you swing around the curve.
Of course, the song turned out to be correct: Johnson badly lost the election, and he's generally considered to be one of the worst presidents of all time. As an anti-campaign song, it's just about perfect: Cutting, sarcastic, and brief. I love how it refers to Johnson in the diminutive and directs its insults directly at him, although the grammar gets a little clumsy here and there. I wish it was peppier—it's set to "Just Before the Battle, Mother," which is a little too austere for the lyrics—but content-wise, campaign songs don't get much more feisty than this.

Things were different by the time Abraham Lincoln was up for reelection. It wasn't about keeping the union together anymore; it was about beating the Confederates and saving the union. So he went with another winner for a campaign song. According to Wikipedia, "Battle Cry of Freedom" was "so popular that the music publisher at one time had 14 printing presses going at one time and still could not keep up with demand. It is estimated that over 700,000 copies of this song were put in circulation." And there are two sides to this song. Here's the Union chorus:
The Union forever! Hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitor, up with the star;
While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And here's the Confederate chorus:
Our Dixie forever! She's never at a loss!
Down with the eagle and up with the cross!
We'll rally 'round the bonny flag, we'll rally once again,
Shout, shout the battle cry of Freedom!
All of which goes to show that it was such a popular song that both sides wanted to claim it as their own. Lincoln won, and the Union won, and this song was a rallying battle cry as well as a campaign song. I am going to say this again, and in as plain English as I can put it: Abraham Lincoln is awesome.

There is literally nothing left to say about Abraham Lincoln that hasn't already been said. That's why people keep arguing about whether he was secretly gay, or a depressive, or an abused husband, or a cross-dresser. They dabble in the unknown, because the facts are indisputable, and well-known: He was one of the best, if not the single best president in history. If you disagree with that, you are either a dick or you have taken part in one too many Civil War reenactments (or, probably, both).
"Lincoln and Liberty," isn't worthy of being Lincoln's campaign song. But then, I can't really think of a song that would be worthy of being Lincoln's campaign song. (The Hallelujah Chorus, maybe?) But as far as lyrics go, it really soaks itself in patriotism:
They'll find what by felling and mauling,
Our railmaker statesman can do;
For the people are everywhere calling
For Lincoln and Liberty too.
Then up with the banner so glorious,
The star-spangled red, white, and blue,
We'll fight till our banner's victorious,
For Lincoln and Liberty, too.
This is a fight song, a song that points to the distance and says "We'll get there one day, with this guy's help, and it'll be better when we all get there together." As far as tunes go, it's fun and lofty and inspiring. (It's to the tune of an old folk song titled "Rosin the Bow.") Here it is:
See? You want something like the good-guy version of the Imperial March*. But that's impossible. At the time, nobody knew Lincoln would be the best of us. He just worked out that way. His campaign songs didn't have a chance to match up to the glory of the man, because a lot of Lincoln's power came in retrospect. The job he had to do was so messy and divisive and enormous. You can't capture that in a song without years of reflection.

Franklin Pierce's campaign song, "Pierce and King," is not a very good song, and it has not aged well.
High Locos, Ho Locos, listen while I sing;
A song for you that's good and true about our Pierce and King.
Yes, come next March, we'll take the starch out of Fillmore's collar
Old Scott we'll beat the very first heat and make the 'Coons' all holler
Besides the obvious, there's the weird obsession with electoral politics. Rather than talking about goals or beliefs, it's all about how they'll win the vote. Pierce is largely regarded as one of the biggest presidential failures, and I think his campaign song was an early warning of his ineffectuality. Boo for Pierce.

At least his song, "The Union Wagon," was similarly nerdy; Fillmore didn't pull any kind of bait-and-switch with a hardcore kick-in-the-pants campaign song. The tune was hopelessly bland, and the lyrics were completely wonky. They imagined America as a wagon, made from wood from all our many regions:
Our wagon is a noble one,
'Twas made in seventy-six;
'Twas driven by George Wash-ing-ton,
Through stormy pol-i-tics!
Palmetto, cypress, cottonwood,
in spokes and wheels you'll find;
Western oak and Eastern pine,
and Northern ash com-bined!
Wait for the wagon,
The Millard Fillmore wagon;
Wait for the wagon,
And we'll all take a ride!
And then it swings back around and makes the wagon—America—the Millard Fillmore wagon. Fillmore is a man of the nation, a product of America, taking no particular region as his favorite. He's all about unity! (Remember, this is as the state's rights battle that will become the Civil War keeps heating up.) It's not as thunderous as other campaign songs to date, and it certainly doesn't score high in terms of memorability, but it tries to use poetic imagery to bring the people together. Nerdy, yes, but sincere.

First of all: The nickname "Old Rough and Ready" is better than just about any other presidential nickname ever. It works for a soldier who is brave and strong or for a gay porn star. Good job, Zachary Taylor!

If there's one thing that chafes me, it's bullshit politican man-of-the-people schtick. Here's a semi-recent example:
A much older example is "Jimmy Polk of Tennessee," a folksy tune about how James Polk came from out of nowhere to lead the people of America to glory:
His choice occasioned some surprise
Good democrats rolled up their eyes
Oh, asking, "Tell us, who is he,
James K. Polk of Tennessee?"
Hark, the people rising say
He's the man to cope with Clay
Ha ha, such a nominee
Jimmy Polk of Tennessee!
But soon their vast excitement o'er
They see what ne'er was seen before
The best selection that could be
Ex-Speaker Polk of Tennessee!
But the thing is, you can't say you're outside the system if your title is "Ex-Speaker." I know this blue-collar bullshit is a game that politicians have to play whenever they're up for election, but for anyone paying the slightest bit of attention, it's painful to watch. Good politicians will keep it at a minimum. This song feels hopelessly market tested to make Polk seem like a populist. Even the tune is derivative of every children's song ever. Though his nomination did seem to come out of nowhere, this song's breathless joy doesn't pass the bullshit test. On the positive side: Polk does win an award for president with the best mullet, though.

On Friday, we saw that (unlike Martin Van Buren) William Henry Harrison had a great campaign song. Today, we look at his second great campaign song, "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too." Here's a They Might Be Giants cover of that song:
According to campaign song expert Irwin Silber (via Wikipedia, of course), this is the song that really cemented the idea of the American campaign song. And you're not going to find any contrarian balloon-bursting from me: It's a great song. It portrays Harrison and Tyler as the tools of a great change sweeping the nation, it belittles their opponents at every opportunity, and it features a lot of wordplay and other high-quality lyrical tricks. Good show, Harrison!

"The Harrison Yankee Doodle" is notable for two reasons. First: It riffs on "Yankee Doodle Dandy," one of the most popular American songs of all time. And second:
With Harrison, our country's won
No treachery can divide her
Thy will be done with Harrison, Log Cabin, and Hard Cider.
Taking cues from the campaign, the song openly endorses drinking. Seems in some ways, Harrison was a prototypical Teabagger, running on old fashioned American values like log cabins and drinking hard cider. (This is why Van Buren's song tried to appeal to the temperance freaks, but it inarguably could have handled the drinking bit in a classier way.) Who doesn't love singing a catchy little ditty about booze? I'm surprised Shane MacGowen hasn't covered "Harrison Yankee Doodle" at some point in his career. This isn't Harrison's main campaign song, but it's a good one, setting the stage for a candidate who can bring the good times back.

We're skipping ahead a couple of elections to 1840, now—I can't seem to find anything about the music of the 1832 or 1836 elections—and we find ourselves in the middle of a huge clusterfuck of an election. The Anti-Masonic Party was slowly dying and all the parties were in flux. Incumbent Martin Van Buren was running against William Henry Harrison and his vice presidential pick, John Tyler.
Harrison had a couple campaign songs, but Van Buren apparently just had one. But what a campaign song! It's incredibly weird, and it's sung to the tune of "Rockabye Baby." Here are the lyrics:
Rockabye, baby, Daddy's a Whig
When he comes home, hard cider he'll swig
When he has swug
He'll fall in a stew
And down will come Tyler and Tippecanoe.
Rockabye, baby, when you awake
You will discover Tip is a fake.
Far from the battle, war cry and drum
He sits in his cabin a'drinking bad rum.
Rockabye, baby, never you cry
You need not fear OF Tip and his Ty.
What they would ruin, Van Buren will fix.
Van's a magician, they are but tricks.
Crazy! It calls the opposing party a bunch of drunks, and their candidate a scaredy-cat alcoholic who can't even drink alcohol that is uncontaminated. At the end, they say "Vote for our guy, because he's a wizard." You've got to admire the pluck and playfulness of these lyrics—that past tense of "swig" is genius—but it's kind of an off-putting campaign song, in that it insults half the population of the United States. Points for gusto—not even Sarah Palin would have a campaign song like this one—but major points off for sheer aggression.

"The Hunters of Kentucky" was written about Andrew Jackson's victory over the British in the Battle of New Orleans. It was apparently wildly popular. Four years after the song was first performed, Jackson, who was from Tennessee, used it as a campaign song (he recycled it for his second run in 1828, too, where Wikipedia points out that he campaigned against someone who was actually from Kentucky, which must've been kind of awkward). It's an epic, Irish lilt of a song:
But Jackson he was wide awake,
And was not scar'd at trifles,
For well he knew what aim we take,
With our Kentucky rifles:
So he led us down by Cypress swamp,
The ground was low and mucky;
There stood John Bull in martial pomp,
And here was old Kentucky.
As far as campaign songs go, it doesn't make any promises about Jackson except for his bravery in battle. It's not catchy, it's not especially fun. But it's a great illustration of his character, and it probably educated a lot of people about the candidate.

Enter John Quincy Adams.
Consider what it must've been like to live in America in the middle of the 1820s. Monroe, the last president to be a Founding Father, was leaving office. The party system was collapsing. Nobody was sure what was going to happen to the United States. Get a load of this song, "Little Know Ye Who's Comin'":
Little know ye who's comin',
Little know ye who's comin',
Little know ye who's comin',
If John Quincy not be comin'!
Fire's comin', swords are comin',
Pistols, guns, and knives are comin',
Famine's comin', banning's comin',
If John Quincy not be comin'!
Put simply: If you do not elect John Quincy Adams for president, your nation will fall to famine, war, fire, and crime. It gets even more over the top with the final lead-in to the chorus: "Fears are comin', tears are comin', Plague and pestilence is comin', Hatin's comin', Satan's comin', If John Quincy not be comin'."
The weirdest thing about this weird song is that John Quincy Adams didn't lead the nation on a platform of fear. He oversaw economic growth, and he grew to detest slavery while in office. He was conservative, but he helped modernize America for the times. He was viewed as a failed president at the end of his single term, but that's mostly because (people say now) he was almost too smart for the job (case in point: according to Wikipedia, he was sworn in on a law book instead of the Bible because he was a big believer in separation of church and state). In fact, using a little more fear might have made him a more successful president.
To return to the music: This is by no means a responsible campaign song, but it is a hugely effective one, playing on fear with a catchy beat. It could practically be George W. Bush or Rudy Giuliani's campaign song with very few changes. And it would probably work, too.

What "Monroe Is the Man"—that title!—lacks in blood and thunder when compared to previous campaign songs, it more than makes up for in selling the candidate to us. The last verse and chorus of the song are exactly what a good presidential song should be:
Who cares not for office, nor power, or place,
whose merits and virtues the highest would race.
Whose country is his idol, her good all his care
And in terrible times who did never despair.
In peace and in war—who can act, who can plan
MONROE—yes MONROE—he indeed is the man
In peace and in war—who can act, who can plan
MONROE—yes MONROE—he indeed is the man
While the song could stand to be a little zippier, it's got whistling, which more than makes up for the swaying tempo. Good fucking work, Monroe. You're the man. But you knew that already.

"Huzzah for Madison," also known as "Huzzah for Madison, Huzzah!," has all the elements of a good campaign song. It has God defeating Satan (Satan, in case you didn't know, sides with the British), and it contextualizes Madison: "While Jefferson to shade retires/and Madison like morn appears/fresh confidence and hope inspires/and light again the nation cheers." But I have a hard time with any song that suggests this guy is like the morning sun...
...because really, his head is big and round (and probably really warm, too) but nobody would want to wake up to it. And the lyrics seem to work extra hard to diminish Jefferson, who was Madison's boss, which seems kind of weaselly. But listen to Oscar Brand's version of the song and you'll see the big problem with "Huzzah for Madison." It drags like a motherfucker. Any song with Huzzah in the title should be a balls-to-the-walls party through and through. "Huzzah for Madison" fails at that. It feels perfunctory. It's the first presidential campaign song that's a total disappointment.

The government made a profit of $3 Billion dollars by creating individual state quarters, which was a very smart idea. Another smart idea is retiring the penny, and maybe even the nickel. Pennies used to be made of copper until the early 1980's, until copper became too expensive. Now they are made of zinc. However, the cost of the zinc is now more than the value of the penny and it's losing the government money.

Actually he could very well be correct. The penny is an inadequate form of currency. It cost more money to make pennies then they are worth. The nickel is the same way and could very well be removed from our economy. Other countries have gotten rid of their one cent coin pieces and it has improved their economy.

World Bank Group to Support Flood Recovery in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
June 30, 2014
News Source : World Bank Group to Support Flood Recovery in Bosnia and Herzegovina
WASHINGTON, June 30, 2014 – The World Bank Group's Board of Executive Directors today approved a US$100 million credit for the Floods Emergency Recovery Project for Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), to meet critical needs and restore the functionality of infrastructure essential for public services and economic recovery in affected areas in the aftermath of the worst flooding to hit the country in documented history. The project was prepared in record time in view of the dire situation in the country and will be financed from the International Development Association's (IDA) Crisis Response Window resources.
This project will target areas that were hit hardest by the devastating floods. Preliminary evidence shows that the largest impact from this disaster was on livelihoods, housing, transport, agriculture, and energy. Given the magnitude of the damage caused by flooding and subsequent landslides, the project is designed to support efforts by local and entity governments to quickly re-establish public services to pre-flood levels. The project will also support the Government's on-going economic recovery initiatives, in particular in the agriculture sector.
In addition to this project, the World Bank is working on several other fronts to ensure the provision of a comprehensive package of support for BiH as it recovers and rebuilds from the physical and economic devastation. Notably, the Bank is participating in a systematic recovery needs assessment, led by the BiH authorities and supported also by the European Union and the United Nations. The assessment will provide a basis for developing effective rehabilitation measures for infrastructure and services in the affected areas. The World Bank is also considering the restructuring of existing projects in its BiH portfolio to meet reconstruction needs.
While immediate recovery needs are the top priority of this project, the World Bank also stands ready to work with the BiH authorities to scale-up flood protection and implement early warning systems. The recently approved Drina Flood Protection Project is a good example of the type of work that could be scaled-up, as it addresses the need to prevent future flooding.
As emphasized by Laura Tuck, World Bank Vice President for Europe and Central Asia, "The Floods Emergency Recovery Project will finance critical goods, such as fuel and electricity imports, as well as the reconstruction of local infrastructure. This immediate response, combined with the Drina River Flood Protection Project, will support economic recovery in the affected areas, and will help restore Bosnia and Herzegovina to a growth path following the floods."
The World Bank portfolio of active projects in BiH now includes 14 operations totaling approximately US$578.6 million. Areas of support include agriculture, environment, energy efficiency, health, social safety and employment, local infrastructure, and private sector development.

Downton Diddy: It's Just a Funny or Die Video, Not the Greatest Casting Coup in PBS History
Yesterday afternoon, Sean "Diddy" Combs took to Twitter to make a big announcement. It is reprinted here in full: "MY BIG NEWS: So happy to announce that Im a series regular on DOWNTON ABBEY-my favorite show+i'll be debuting a sneak peek tonight 12am PST!"
The news was, in fact, so big and instantaneously viral that PBS was quickly called upon to deny Diddy's involvement with its flagship period drama, lest someone believe that he'd been cast as Mary's love interest, or the newest competitor in the Dowager Countess's rose contest, or the latest suitor attempting to put up with Lady Edith. How much fun was that denial? No fun. No fun at all.
Undeterred by PBS's Carsonesque stomping out of all whimsy, Diddy and Funny or Die launched their video at midnight. It features Diddy as "Lord Wolcott," the new owner of "Downtown" Abbey, and a character no less ridiculous than that Canadian Titanic survivor with the melted face. And it's still not too late for Julian Fellowes to come to his senses and actually cast Combs in the show. He'll learn how to properly pronounce the name of his home eventually, just like we all did after two or three seasons.

There is a story on ESPN.com that Kevin Love's people informed the Timberwolves that Kevin Love will exercise his free agent status on 2015. The story mentioned that the Bulls and the Warriors intrigued Love. Many fans on talk radio (KNBR) have suggested to trade David Lee and Harrison Barnes for Love. It makes sense because Lee has the highest salary on the Warriors roster, and Harrison Barnes has an expiring rookie contract- so financially, it makes perfect sense. I approve of this proposal.
Question is; will the Timberwolves agree?
The Warriors do not have a draft pick (traded to the Jazz) so if the T'Wolves are looking for a pick the Warriors are out. If the T'Wolves want Klay Thompson, Steph Curry, or Andrew Bogut- then I say no way as a Warrior fan. Love will become free agent in 2015 and you risk losing one of your chore for nothing. Love is great offensively, but defensively- you have another David Lee. I would rather go after Luol Deng on a free agent market. Sign Darren Collison from Clippers as my back up point guard or Patrick Beverly from Houston.
Starting Line up: Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Love, Bogut.

Film: Art History with...
Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Auditorium, 3rd Floor
Art History with… (The Bruce High Quality Foundation, 2008–2012, 83 min.). The Bruce High Quality Foundation presents several works from their series of pedagogical videos Art History with..., including "Art History with Food" and "Art History with Labor." These works repurpose found footage and information to establish new synchronicities between the history of art and the worlds that history purports to reflect. Often humorous, regularly scathing, this series is a strikingly effective example of the Foundation's belief in "the liberating possibilities of fiction." Tickets are included in Museum admission and are available in advance at www.museumtix.com or at the Visitor Center.

Today's Stock Market: Making Money by Copying Last Year's Action
Friday, September 30th, 2011
By Michael Lombardi, MBA for Profit Confidential
There's no doubt that it's been a choppy August and September for the stock market. But I want my readers to look at these facts:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened 2011 at 11,557 and opens this last trading day of September at 11,153, down 3.6% for 2011 so far.
At the beginning of 2010, the Dow Jones Industrial Average opened the year's trading at 10,500. By September 30, 2010, the Dow Jones Industrials was trading at 10,000 after a rocky August and September—a decline of 4.8%.
In September of 2010, bearish sentiment amongst investors and stock advisors was at its lowest level of the year.
Today, bearish sentiment amongst investors and stock advisors is at its lowest level of 2011.
There's a striking resemblance between 2010 and 2011 stock market action and I see this pattern continuing. Between September and December of 2010, the stock market rallied, ultimately leading to a 10% gain for stocks in 2010. On the backdrop of extreme bearishness, just like September of 2010, I believe stocks will rally from today's level to end the year higher.
Yes, stocks could move 10% higher from where they are today to the end of 2011. Investors will have to gauge if the upside potential is worth the risk. Where do I see the greatest bargain? With gold bullion having corrected 15% from its recent price high, with the stocks of junior and senior gold mining down even more than 15%, I see the best bargains, the greatest upside potential, in the gold mining sector.
- Re: Lifetime Oil Pension Checks
Oil Pension Checks could pay you up to eight-times more than Social Security and have no income or maximum age restrictions.
The monthly checks can outlive you and continue to generate steady income for your heirs five, ten, even twenty years out.
Oil companies do not advertise them; that's why most investors have never heard of the Oil Pension Check program.

Michael's Personal Notes:
Tomorrow, the longest-serving policymaker at the Federal Reserve, Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank President, Thomas Hoenig, retires.
In his last speech in office, Hoenig said that the Fed's actions of trying to stimulate the economy by artificially keeping interest rates low will ultimately "buy problems."
The Federal Reserve has kept short-term interest rates near zero for years now. The Fed has also bought more than $2.0 trillion in securities. Hoenig compared these actions to short-term bandages for the government's failure to cut its debt to cut spending.
I've shared this opinion with my readers since the economic bust started: making the government bigger, having the government spend more at the cost of increasing the national debt, is not the answer. I'm happy an official such as Hoenig has the courage to speak his mind about what his contemporaries are doing…and why it isn't working.
When President Obama leaves office, he will have increased our national debt by about $5.0 trillion—the greatest four-year increase in the national debt ever.
Where the Market Stands; Where it's Headed:
A bear market rally in stocks started in March of 2009. This bear market rally that prevails today has the potential to take stock prices higher before the rally finally expires.
What He Said:
"Over the past few weeks, I've written about subprime lenders and how their demise will hurt the U.S. housing market, the economy and the stock market. There's no escaping the carnage headed our way because the housing market and subprime business are falling apart. The worst of our problems, because of the easy money made available to borrowers, which fueled the housing boom that peaked in 2005, have yet to arrive." Michael Lombardi in PROFIT CONFIDENTIAL, March 22, 2007. At the same time Michael wrote this, former Fed Chief Alan Greenspan was quoted as saying, "the worse is over for the U.S. housing market and there will be no economic spillover effects from the poor housing market."

Jamestown Associates clients swept the Middlesex County Republican convention on Saturday, with U.S. Rep. Leonard Lance (R-Clinton) and congressional candidates Diane Gooch and Scott Sipprelle besting challengers by wide margins. This represents another loss for Bill Spadea, who is one of Fair Haven Mayor Michael Halfacre's consultants. Sipprelle beat Halfacre in Mercer and Middlesex, both places where Spadea has been working hard. Another Spadea client, former Assemblywoman Barbara Wright (R-Plainsboro), won just 29% of the vote in a special election convention for State Senate earlier this month.Read More >
Former Scotch Plains Mayor Martin Marks and newcomer Bo Vastine are seeking State Assembly seats in a district that trends Democratic. But they must smell an opportunity because they've hired Jamestown Associates, a GOP political consulting firm, which has made something of a cottage industry out of beating up Linda Stender. Stender, a four-term Assemblywoman, came close to beating U.S. Rep. Michael Ferguson in 2006 when Jamestown labeled her as "Stender the Spender" and helped Ferguson eke out a one percent victory. Last year, Jamestown (working for Leonard Lance), beat Stender by nine points, despite being outspent by a 3-1 margin.Read More >
Of the two New Jersey congressional districts where Republican incumbents did not seek re-election this year, the third district in parts of Ocean, Burlington and Camden counties is arguably more Republican than the seventh district, which includes parts of Hunterdon, Somerset, Union and Middlesex counties. In District 3, Jim Saxton won 58% of the vote in 2006 and 63% in 2004; George W. Bush won with 51% in 2004. In the 7th, Mike Ferguson nearly lost his 2006 re-election bid to Democrat Linda Stender, 49%-48%, after winning 57% in 2004; Bush won 53% four years ago. Republicans have held the Saxton seat since 1884 and the Ferguson seat since 1956.Read More >
Larry Weitzner, the CEO of Jamestown Associates, issued a statement this evening on the death of his business partner, Tom Blakely:Read More >
Republican political consultant Tom Blakely died this morning after collapsing during a 5k run in Bordentown. He was 47.
Blakely was the President of Jamestown Associates, a New Jersey-based GOP consulting firm. A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, he served as an aide to Rep. Dick Zimmer and was Campaign Manager of Zimmer's 1996 U.S. Senate bid against Robert Torricelli. He also ran County Executive campaigns for James Treffinger and Robert Prunetti, and was Director of Appointments for Gov. Christine Todd Whitman.Read More >
Third district congressional candidate Christopher Myers has dropped Jamestown Associates as his campaign consultant – just a week after Jamestown scored a major victory in Maryland where their client ousted a seven-term incumbent in a GOP primary.Read More >
A must read for political insiders is an Op-Ed written by GOP political consultant Tom Blakely, reprinted with his permission, on the danger of running for re-election as an incumbent in 2008. Blakely's firm, Jamestown Associates, is the consultant to Anne Evans Estabrook's U.S. Senate campaign, and the House campaigns of Leonard Lance in the 7th district and Christopher Myers in the 3rd district. Last week, a Jamestown client ousted a Republican Congressman in the Maryland GOP primary:
Read More >
Buried in Tuesday's defeat of nine-term incumbent Wayne Gilchrest (R-Md.) is a message that should be heeded by incumbents everywhere: You must earn the support of the people you represent.
When Gilchrest was first elected, incumbents were considered nearly unbeatable. But during the 18 years he served in Washington, the world changed and he failed to change with it.
The change is not Fox News, YouTube and text messaging; they are symptoms of the change. The real change is that elected officials can be held more accountable. And if you forget this lesson, someone will remind you.
The winner of the day in New Jersey is Jamestown Associates, the Princeton-based political consulting firm, for running the successful primary campaign of Andy Harris for Congress in Maryland. Harris ousted seven-term incumbent Wayne Gilchrest in yesterday's Republican primary. Jamestown is also working for U.S. Senate candidate Anne Evans Estabrook and congressional candidates Leonard Lance and Christopher Myers.Read More >

"Christie's method for coping with scandal has been more complicated. In January, the seemingly-local issue of lane closings on the George Washington Bridge, which created a massive traffic jam in the Hudson River town of Fort Lee, became one of national interest when it was revealed that one of Christie's closest staffers had ordered them—for what looked like political retribution against a Democratic mayor. The scandal was quickly dubbed 'Bridgegate,' and unfortunately for Christie, it played into his reputation as a bully. Christie's response was to act unlike himself: humble." - Olivia Nuzzi- The Daily Beast

Scosche debuts reVOLT dual-12W car charger
Scosche has released its reVOLT ($25), a car charger with two USB 12W ports. While it's exceptionally similar to earlier reVOLT models, both ports now charge at 2.4A, allowing for full simultaneous iPad charging regardless of the iPad model.
Scosche notes that charging circuitry in reVOLT is designed for iOS — though the charger will work with most non-iOS smartphones and tablets, those devices may not charge at the fastest rates. Notably, Apple appears to have ended 2.4A/12W regarding speeds with the release of the iPad Air; only prior-generation full-sized iPads benefitted from the faster standard. The new reVOLT is available now.

It's a simple thrill, really, the one you experience when riding a bike to school. But in Calgary, this simple thrill is a luxury. Today, we went big and rode our bikes to school. That's the easy part - it's riding home.

Kickboxing: Severn Beach fighter Joe Meachin wins WRSA AM English title
11:50am Sunday 9th March 2014 in Sport
A KICKBOXER from Severn Beach has set his sights on becoming British champion after landing the WRSA AM English title.
Joe Meachin, 24, only took up kickboxing three years ago but he picked it up quickly.
He earned his first shot at the English title in September and, although he lost, he learnt from the experience and triumphed at the second attempt last month.
"It was an amazing feeling," said Meachin, who grew up in Olveston and went to Marlwood School.
"I have been working towards it for a while. I already had the Southern area title to my name so that was the next step.
"Hopefully by the end of the year I'll get a British title fight."
Meachin is a member of Pro-K, where he attends classes at Spaniorum Farm Gym in Easter Compton and at Sea Mills Community Centre, and admits he would like to become an instructor in the future.
He said: "I've always had an interest in boxing. I was training at Spanorium Gym in Easter Compton and got into the kickboxing club through that.
"For now I'm looking for the British title and in the future I want to run my own club."

Product Information
The Wheeler Enineering Delta Series AR-15 Bore Guide is made of precision CNC machined aluminum with a durable anodized finish. It fits securely in any AR15 upper and can be retained in place by closing the dust cover on the upper which engages a groove in the guide. The bore guide also has chemical resistant O-rings for retention in uppers without dust covers. It works well with .223 Remington, .204 Ruger and NATO 5.56x45mm, extending inside the chamber to prevent solvent from leaking into the action. A solvent port is conveniently located to the rear of the guide which extends out of the upper making it easily accessible during cleaning.
The Delta Series AR-15 Bore Guide will help protect the bore and action of your rifle by properly aligning the cleaning rod and reducing solvent overflow. Cleaning without a bore guide can allow the rod to "bow" and rub or gouge chamber and throat of the bore causing real damage and loss of accuracy. Keeping the rod properly aligned not only protects your barrel, it directs the force exerted on the cleaning rod handle allowing tight patches to be pushed more easily.

Monday Melody - My Desire
When I saw Jeremy Camp in August, the last song he played was called "My Desire". I had never heard this song before, but I loved it so much that on my way home from the concert I actually stopped and bought the album "Restored", where this song can be found.
For me, it's interesting to look at Jeremy's albums in terms of his story. I see myself in his songs. Having walked a similar path, I can't listen to "I Still Believe" without tearing up. Some days, I'm feeling "Restored". Others, I am blasting "Take My Life" - which I love for its raw, angst filled cry to God. But the song that I most identify with currently is "My Desire".
Last weekend was the first of this season's "Girlfriend Getaway" conferences. For this year's tour, I am the host. More importantly though, part of this year's message includes a 10 minute video of my testimony. I watched it before they showed it, and I cried. And then when we showed it in the session, I cried some more. But before I left for the conference, I put on "My Desire" and I just prayed that song. I prayed that God would use my story, my words, my tears - all of it, for His glory. Because this is my desire...to be used by You.

Davis leads Pelicans past Jazz
Anthony Davis had 22 points, nine rebounds and eight blocks, and the New Orleans Hornets won their second straight game, 105-98 over the struggling Utah Jazz on Wednesday night.
Ryan Anderson added 14 of his 19 points in the second half to help the Pelicans pull away in the fourth quarter after the Jazz, which beat New Orleans for its only win of the season last week, had rallied to take a third-quarter lead.
Jrue Holiday scored 14, Tyreke Evans 13 and Jason Smith 11 for New Orleans.
Former Michigan star and first-round draft choice Trey Burke made his NBA debut for Utah after missing the first 12 games because of surgery on his right index finger. The ninth overall pick last summer scored 11 points in only 12 minutes.

Current Score3.0 View full-size image Design Your Own < previous next > "We ordered shirts for family and friends that ran in the Diggin in Autism Awareness 5K that was in Richardson, April 12th. We all signed up in honor of my son Cody who also participated in the Fun Run (1 mile) part of the race. He stood at finish line and greeted each person that passed during race and told them Good Job! That is a big deal because he is mostly non-verbal. I loved the whole transaction part dealing with Custom Ink, great quality items in a quick amount of time. I was contacted with every part of the process and that was greatly appreciated. Thank you again for making this a great event. Our shirts were a huge hit and had many compliments at the race." - Team Cody (Apr 13, 2014) Similar Photos: autism awareness 5k | charity | participant teams | son | fun run Share this photo: Twitter Facebook
