Derrick Rose missed Saturday's practice. He missed Saturday's practice!! HE MISSED PRACTIE!! He HATES us! He's leaving Chicago! He HATES THESE CANS! HE's SHOOTING AT THE CANS! MOVE AWAY FROM THE CANS! (Thanks Steve Martin!) He's hanging out with Bat Boy!!! He's got an alien love child named Le Bron!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Professional speculation from top-notch analysts would suggest you FREAK OUT!
Professional speculation from me, would suggest that you CHILL THE F*CK OUT!
Yes, folks, the frenzy and new age idiocy of the Derrick Rose saga has finally taken the train all the way to crazy town. We have cell phones, satellites, tvs, computers, moving information at the speed of, well, I don't know, something fast…..a futuristic space information cyber cheetah……it's all around us, and it consumes us.
We even have tweets and twitter. Perhaps the last sign of our culture's impending apocalypse. Yes, as human, we can extrapolate any intensely complex situation into a 1 line half sentence accompanied by the most annoying symbol, the hash tag. Well, here is my own hash tag..
#weareallidiots #shouldn'tbeallowedoutsidethehouse #jebushelp
In one reality, we are all so intensely connected to our team, our city, our human pride, that we are willing to throw Derrick under any moving object (a bus is only the beginning) in order to satisfy our desires to see him play, to know he's ok, to win. To Win.
We want it all. We want it from him. We want it now.
No surprises really, as I teach Sociology for a living. We are taught to be impatient. We get pis*ed when the smallest thing goes wrong; how could you put ketchup on that? HOW? HOW????
But that is our culture. Immediate satisfaction. Immediate answers. RIGHT. NOW.
But I come form a magical time called the 70s. An amazing time, where you didn't' think your wife was dead if she didn't text you every 30 seconds…and actually, it was a relief to be unattached for a while…it helped slow life down. You could drive and be with your thoughts….not your work. You could stay out plate playing in the neighborhood and not have your parents call in a drone strike on you. It was slower, it was simpler, and it was more relaxed. It was more fun. It was more fun.
Today, every person is equipped with the most amazing computer devices, that can do the most amazing things, and they are still unhappy. (And perhaps more pissed off than ever).
Healing takes time. True healing takes time. We hardly understand that, as most of us are sick, and still have to go to work. If we take time for our newborn babies or our health, we could lose our jobs. We are not given time to heal…or enjoy life, so we are stunned when Derrick Rose has that time. When anyone besides us has that kind of time. So we fill that time, with this never-ending new age stream of bullsh*t.
It's nihilism…and just like in the Big Lebowski……it sounds exhausting. It IS exhausting.
This constant stream of speculation, desire, and $$ moving institutions like the NBA into a frenzy of desire. Desire not to have Derrick back confident and healthy, but desire to have him back, generating the insane amounts of money his presence generates.
And that folks, is pressure. And he folks, is human. And he folks, is 24.
He's a kid. A man, but yes, still a kid. A multimillionaire, and a kid. A new dad, and a kid. All at the same time. It really seems, as his loyalty is questioned, and his confidence is questioned, and his athleticism is questioned, and the rate at which he is healing is questioned (appalling) that in fact, Chicago Bulls fans are more responsible for betraying Derrick, than the other way around.
Yeah, and my job owes me a raise. And fast food places owe you $$ for health care you will need to repair the poison they served you…and my wife owes me a bl*wjob (many of them in fact) and on….and on.
HE OWES US NOTHING. He owes it to us, if we really care, to heal. To take his time, and do what he needs, to be great again. That is all.
Trade him! Bench him! BURN HIM! He's a WITCH! Seriously?
IF we could take an outside look at our culture, and how we are socialized to be the people we are, we would have the insight to realize that WE are the ones that need to take a chill pill. We are the ones that need to end our overindulged appetite for destruction (I couldn't resist, Axel will probably sue me, but then, he's crazy too).
We are impatient. We are spoiled. We want it now. We are a culture of only children (I should know, I am one).
Derrick however, is making progress. He is taking it one day at a time. He is working hard as hell. He has built muscle, a new approach to training, and he has probably elevated his game, all while we are busy elevating our blood pressure.
Sure, he could say more….but then, we would try and read more into whatever he says. I called for him to shut it down this season, if for no other reason that the ACTUAL Bulls team could play without these distractions, that WE create, which will hurt this team's focus. We blame it on Derrick…. when WE are to blame. And boy, you had better not suggest that we are to blame, this is also not a culture of accountability.
Yeah, I want him back. But I refuse to say I care about another human, and then try and grind him up when it suits me. I actually am one of the last people on the planet to not own a cell phone. Yes. On purpose. I'll sign autographs later, and save the ("oh, I wish I could do that, it must be so nice.") It IS nice…and if you wanted to do it, you could.
But information is a drug for us. The faster we get it, the better the PING on our brain. We are addict. Put your phone down for an hour, for 5 minuets, I dare you. We want more…..More, more, more….
Chill the f*ck out. Loot at the team we love that is on the floor. Wonder about the playoffs this year. Have fun watching the games, even if they are hard to watch sometimes, which is really no different than most years as a Bulls fan, or fan of any other sports……(really Chicago, are you telling me you haven't learned to put up with losing? I'm a BEARS fan for Christ's sakes, losing tragically is my version of winning!)
Quit being an accomplice in making this a soap opera, and start embracing the kid, the man, the dad, the player, that we all know will bring joy to us for many years coming. He is our brother. Cast off the shackles of your modern lives, dump the hash tag, and unplug long enough to take a breath and realize, everything's gonna be alright……Rose, or no Rose…….

Of all the many musicals Fred Astaire was in, the very best for my money is one of his last; he appeared in only four others afterward. And it's among the most delightful, witty and charming in the genre's history---Vincente Minnelli's comic 1953 ode to show biz, THE BAND WAGON (available on DVD). The title is a tip of the hat to one of Astaire's first successes, the 1931 Broadway show he did with his sister Adele; but only the name was borrowed since the movie is a totally new creation conceived and written by that hip and unpretentious, brilliantly inventive team of musical comedy wizards, Betty Comden and Adolph Green (Singin' in the Rain, On the Town, Bells Are Ringing, etc.).
The premise alone played so cleverly into Astaire's image at the time: A movie-star hoofer is washed up in pictures and thus comes to New York to give Broadway a shot at revitalizing his career. The purposely exaggerated biographical context continues by having Nanette Fabray and Oscar Levant play (with great verve) a most likable pair of musical book-writers modeled, naturally, on Ms. Comden and Mr. Green themselves.
All this gives the film a persuasive sense of reality that reverberates throughout and makes everything feel true: The snob rivalry between Hollywood star and Broadway dance diva (Cyd Charisse at her long-legged best) inevitably developing into romance through an intoxicating pas de deux in Central Park at night (yes, at night, this being nearly 60 years ago) to the lush strains of the original "Dancing in the Dark" (not the Bruce Springsteen rock hit).
Or there's the good-humored parody of an Orson Wellesian genius director-producer-star of classical drama condescending to take a portentous (and hilariously pretentious) stab at doing a musical. This role is played by one of the most popular stars of British stage and screen musicals, Jack Buchanan, who unfortunately was little seen in American movies, with the one glorious earlier exception of Ernst Lubitsch's innovative 1930 musical comedy masterwork, Monte Carlo, co-starring Jeanette MacDonald (also available on DVD). Since Buchanan died only four years after The Band Wagon, it serves as his memorably ingratiating swan's song.
The picture gets off to a quick start (and never really flags for a moment) with two fabulous Astaire solo numbers: First, he arrives at Grand Central, where the press is waiting to welcome not him, as it turns out, but Ava Gardner (who does a cameo as herself, looking incredible), and so Fred walks sadly along the deserted platform singing, "I'll go my way/ By Myself," just one of a dozen warmly familiar standards by Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz; next, he's strolling along 42nd Street and decides to cheer himself up by getting a shoeshine, which leads to a smashing song-and-dance routine because, "When there's A Shine on Your Shoes/ There's a melody in your heart." If you're not hooked by then, just forget musicals.
The dances are all choreographed by the sublimely boisterous Michael Kidd, with a climactic satirical "Girl Hunt" ballet that both imitates and kids the Gene Kelly musicals of the period and at the same time spoofs the then-popular raunchy Mickey Spillane detective sagas, with Fred's voice narrating in mock tough-guy style. Along the way, there are such show-stoppers as Astaire, Buchanan and Fabray dressed as terrible infants singing "Triplets"; Astaire cheering up a depressed cast party with "I Love Luisa"; and, of course, Fred, Jack, Oscar and Nanette doing the rollicking, inspired show-biz anthem, "That's Entertainment!" Minnelli keeps it all going with infectious energy and grace in what is, I think, along with An American in Paris (1951 Oscar-winner for Best Picture), his finest musical, and therefore certainly high among the best and most entertaining ever made.
Dixon Steele | December 5, 2010 10:57 AM
Couldn't agree more, THE BANK WAGON is sublime. The only other MGM musical that compares is SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, also not-so-incidentally written by the great Comden & Green.
According to the DVD commentary, the shoeshine guy was actually a showshine guy they found in NYC!
This film is perfection!
JNBrett | October 30, 2010 7:15 AM
Although Astaire rarely takes screen credit, he is chiefly responsible for his solo and partnered choreography-inlcuding "Shine on my shoes", "I guess I'll have to change my plan" and "Dancing in the dark". Michael Kidd certainly helped with ideas, but the dance style is pure Astaire. But, "Girl Hunt Ballet" was choreographed by Michael Kidd alone, with Astaire worring the whole time whether he could do this type of "jerky" dancing (as Astaire called it). Of course, he could.
Jorge Garrido | October 25, 2010 9:23 AM
Scorsese also wrote about this in his column this week. Weird.
Christopher Stilley | October 25, 2010 7:21 AM
I love the effective way it starts with Astaire singing By Myself and nearly ends with it too.I'll be watching this again around the Holidays as is my want with musicals..
Anne Thompson | October 24, 2010 9:36 AM
This is one of my fave Astaire movies too, and it gets better with age. This and Meet Me in St. Louis are the best Minnelli musicals, I think. In this, Astaire handles his age gracefully, the dance numbers are inventive and sublime; and his often under-rated singing was tops.

Polls opened on Monday morning at 8:00 at some places and 10:00 at other polling locations. So how do Lubbockites feel about this proposed sales tax increase to offset property taxes and to create money for economic development?
|Early Voting Locations for Sales Tax Special Election
More >>
Monday was the first day for early voting. "I own my home and I don't want that to go up anymore," said one woman. "I think it's the only true way to collect taxes. Everyone pays," said another voter.
"Property tax savings. I think that's a big plus about it," said one man. "I don't mind paying a little bit more. I think it will be great for economic development. That's the way I feel," said another man.
"To me, sales tax is the fairest tax," said another voter we talked to. "Well, the way I feel about it is if it helps us on our property taxes I'm for it," said another woman.
|Sales Tax Increase Voters Ballot

Only a couple of people opposed the idea of raising the sales tax by three eighths of a cent. Surprisingly, we bumped into a few young voters this afternoon. "I don't mind paying more in sales tax to lower property tax. It affects everyone, I don't own, but the increase is not enough to really make a difference," said one young woman. Even Mayor Marc McDougals's daughter Tara voted. "My dad says it's important to vote and that's why I'm voting," said Tara McDougal.

Film, August 30, 2007When great minds meat: Unlike Mike D'Angelo, I was very impressed with Leonardo DiCaprio's powerful documentary, The 11th Hour. The film depicts the devastating impacts of global warming, including droughts, hurricanes and flooding of coastal areas. It features interviews with the brightest minds on our planet about the causes of this man-made environmental crisis and possible solutions.
A powerful solution was suggested last November in a report by the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization. The report found that meat production accounts for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. That's more than automobiles! Carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas, is emitted by burning forests to create animal pastures and combustion of fossil fuels to operate farm machinery, trucks, refrigeration equipment, factory farms and slaughterhouses. Much more damaging methane and nitrous oxide are released from digestive tracts of cattle and from animal waste cesspools, respectively. The good news is that each of us can do our part to reduce global warming on our next trip to the supermarket. More details are available at www.coolyourdiet.org.
Steven Dillman, St. Louis News Short, August 23, 2007
Feature, August 9, 2007Bad war — bad, bad war: Kristen Hinman's article about Marine Cloy Richards and his Christ-like mom should be published on the front pages of every newspaper in America. I also loved the photo of his mom, whose eyes told the whole truth about this lying war in Iraq. Unfortunately, such articles and photos are rarely seen in corporate media. They have to be seen on occasion for corporate media to maintain its "liberal" credibility with the public it is designed to manipulate. There are many marines and soldiers like Cloy and many parents like his mom fighting against the war in Iraq. According to a Zogby poll, "72 percent of U.S. troops in Iraq believe they should have been withdrawn in 2006." The courageous Virginia senator and war hero James Webb also pointed out a poll in The New York Times, which indicated that a majority of the U.S. military does not support the president's occupation of Iraq. A Military Times poll of its military subscribers confirms that the troops are not goose-stepping to Bush's lies.
A number of national anti-war groups made up of veterans and soldiers get little attention from the corporate media — only crumbs after a whole lot of begging. Some of these are Bringthemhomenow.org, Votevets.org, Veterans for Peace, Iraq Veterans Against the War, Military Families Speak Out and the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. The latter does not publicly state that it opposes the war in Iraq, but it does aggressively question the war.
Regarding Cloy Richards protesting in his uniform, I would say that he earned the property rights to that uniform by risking his life, limb and sanity fighting in Iraq.

I got to watch the game on AFN this week, and man was I glad. I was an AFN "Viewer's Choice" game. It was voted on by AFN watchers and received the most votes. Without further delay, on with the show.
Offense –
Ball security and penalties are a few things that definitely need work. Graham had a TD, but his offensive pass interference called it back and eventually led to no score at all. There were two fumbles that ended up out of bounds. Had they been near the middle of the field we may not have been so fortunate to maintain possession.
Defense –
More penalties and a little unsportsmanlike conduct. Jenkins has got to learn to keep his head on straight. The two personal foul calls against Jenkins ultimately set up Tampa Bay for their one and only score. Giving the Bucs the ball at the 20 yard line with a fresh set of downs is asking for trouble.
Special Teams –
Garret Hartley seems to have lost his mind. He must still think he gets credibility from the post season. It doesn't work that way. Our fat punk kicker needs to pull his fat punk head out of his fat punk ass.
Coaching –
I didn't see the intensity in the play calling this week to which I am accustomed. It seems as though Williams was more concerned with containment than pressure.
Offense –
All I can say is WOW. 212 rushing yards, 263 passing yards for 475 total yards leads me to think that the offensive line appears to be coming together and providing the protection needed to run the ball. They didn't allow a sack, but Brees did have to scramble a couple of times. If the offensive line continues to improve as the year goes, then I think we will be sitting pretty by week 17.
Defense –
The defense held TB to 277 total yards and rendered the Bucs run game almost completely useless. They made Cadillac look more like a Yugo allowing him less than 2 yards per carry and forcing him to fumble. The defense looked more fundamentally sound than they have all year and it is only a matter of time before some of the injured players we have get healthy and begin contributing to the turnover side of the D.
Special Teams –
The hands team on the onside kick did a bang u job at gaining possession and falling on the ball.
Coaching –
Payton and Williams both seem to be getting on the same page together.
Areas of Concern:
I won't do a compartmentalized breakdown for this section, because it all seems to run together. Penalties are not only killing our own drives, but they are sustaining drives for our opponents. Jenkins gave up 15 yards on an unnecessary hit out of bounds and gave up 15 more when he through a left hook at Josh Freeman. Injuries currently have our secondary looking a little depleted, but we should get Sharper back this week. He probably still won't be up to full speed but he will hopefully be ready for the next game. Porter is still injured and will probably miss next week, so Jenkins will have another week to prove himself as well as prove he can get that temper under control. There is still no word on Reggie Bush or Pierre Thomas. With Ivory running the ball as well as he did in this game, I have to start wondering who will be cut first – Betts or Jones.
Players of the Game:
Offense – Christopher Ivory – 158 Rushing Yards, 17 Receiving Yards. The only thing he is missing is a score, and if he keeps running the way he did in this game, he will get plenty of chances.
Defense – Malcolm Jenkins – 6 Tackles, 3 passes defended, and a lot of hard, hard hits. He continually went for the ball and seems to be shaping up nicely for a second year player.
Special Teams – Matt Giordano – Never heard of him until this game, but he recovered Tampa Bay's onside kick attempt.

Is this the same idiot who, in another thread, said what movie critics say don't matter? I guess the opinion of a magazine is completely different from a movie critic. Obviously, a magazine/editor's opinion counts while a movie critic's opinion doesn't count.
The Tourist is up for Best Comedy/Musical for the Golden Globes. And Angelina Jolie is up for Best Actress for it. No one in the film industry is shocked or laughing at Golden Globes for putting those two on their nomination list. Poor Gary Oldman for never having been nominated for a Golden Globe but for having been nominated for the British Academy Awards and Emmy Awards.
I must go and rip up my LM fanclub card. Obviously I'm too shallow to be her fan since I want to see her in bigger and better movies. I guess all those people happy to see Ed Westwick cast in Clint Eastwood's movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and company are heavily misguided also.
Out of curiosity, I looked up Oldman. Golden Globe Awards don't impress me. Academy Awards ok. He has been nominated for awards (and not the Teeny Bopper Awards where it's usually just teenagers voting for the hottest looking person a billion times over). He was nominated for and won BAFTA awardswhich is like the British version of the Oscars He was also nominated for an Emmy for guest starring on Friends and I'm not bored enough to look at the rest of his stuff. If you're going to use an example, use one that fits well and does fit the description.
You disagree with wanting her to get into movies that would get her more recognition from other people? Alright lol. I think most/all her projects so far (the movies that go straight to DVD or I've never heard of but I found on Walmart sites when I decided to look her up) are beneath her. Perish the thought that if she gets into a bigger movie (Box Office or critic wise) it might better her chances to get meatier roles.
I wish I listened to all the critics and people when they said Avatar: The Last Airbender sucked. What a waste of my time and money.
I wish Leighton would get some movies that are either Box Office hits or loved by critics everywhere. Here's hoping her good performance in a semi-universally lukewarmly received Country Strong catapults her to better things.
My bad- I posted a reply to the first page. Semi new poster here (sorry) :(
They can do a suicide episode. Vanessa can kill herself. RIP troll. Your uselessness on the show will be missed.

* schtup
and ooops at my other grammatical errors plus being too lazy to use capitalization.
i agree with elena. i like chuck and blair together (fave chars and couple) but some of the chair fans make me cringe.
i'd also like to point out to the op that blair wanted chuck to seduce and destroy vanessa in season 2. although her jealousy got the better of her later but i think the jealousy stemmed from seeing chuck develop feelings for vanessa and not from the idea of them sleeping together. and the characters treat sex differently. nate and chuck have tons of partners while blair has had less than 5? chuck, nate, jack, carter? i'm pretty sure nate and chuck wouldn't be too offended if a friend/not significant other (like blair was at that point) asked either of them to sleep with other women for whatever purpose she wanted.
i knew blair was going to ask nate to schlup (hey her step father is jewish hahahaha) with her boss. but that butt grabbing scene was really cute. of course, had it been the other way around, a nate grabbing blair's butt and encouraging her to seduce his boss, people might be mad.

On Osama's Death Day, Chris Matthews Waits Just 43 Seconds to Launch Into Another Birther Rant
Chris Matthews' obsession with birthers didn't take a break on the day after the killing of Osama bin Laden. Only 43 seconds into Monday's show on the terrorist, the Hardball anchor connected, "Barack Obama. The cool hand directs the operation step by step. All this time, the crazies were talking birth certificates, he was working."
Politicizing the death of the man who murdered 3000 people, Matthews berated, "Will this make the Republicans look for someone who can do what Obama can do? Or will they keep on celebrating the clown show?"
The liberal cable host jeered, "Will they stop enjoying their passion and go from cheering their buffoon parade to finding a real pick to put up against a proven master and commander?"
[See video below. MP3 audio here.]
Later, Matthews interviewed Politico's John Harris and Major Garrett of National Journal.
Garrett paraphrased Obama from 2008 on fighting terrorism and opined, "'I'm going to fight it hard. I'm going to think about it new and prosecute that war more aggressively than the current president,' which he has done."
A transcript of the relevant sections from the May 2 segment can be found below:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Leading off tonight, the President who caught bin Laden. The triumph of justice over evil. The leadership of leadership over talk. Barack Obama. The cool hand directs the operation step by step. All this time, the crazies were talking birth certificates, he was working. Planning, leading, bringing America's strength and brains to the enemy hideaway. Tonight, we see how it worked from the inside. We see how Obama now looks from the outside. We weigh the impact in this country of what happened yesterday in far off Pakistan. Will this make the Republicans look for someone who can do what Obama can do? Or will they keep on celebrating the clown show? Will they stop enjoying their passion and go from cheering their buffoon parade to finding a real pick to put up against a proven master and commander?
MATTHEWS: Okay, let's talk politics. Back during the last election, not too long ago, 2008, here's President Obama in a presidential debate with John McCain. Let's listen to what he said about, well, you'll see.
BARACK OBAMA: If we have Osama bin Laden in our sights and the Pakistani government is unable or unwilling to take them out, then I think that we have to act. And we will take them out. We will kill bin Laden, we will crush al Qaeda. That has to be our biggest national security priority.
MATTHEWS: Bin Laden, done that. As I said at the beginning of the show, John Harris. I tell you, that's a pretty good commercial right there. I would guess if he can get this back in the cross hairs as an issue next year. That ad, we just saw. Your thoughts, John Harris?
JOHN HARRIS: No, there is no question this is a very authentic mission accomplished moment. Not detracting at all from Major's point we saw again and again. We saw it in 1992 when President George H.W. Bush sought re-election and the victory in the Iraq war didn't do much to help him. It's true the issues that are most salient might not relate to national security next year. Nonetheless, it is a powerful mission accomplished moment that I think radiates, as you say, an impression of competence, effectiveness, command, well beyond the specific issue that's going to help President Obama in all sorts of different ways.
MATTHEWS: Last thought, Major about that. How does he show competence about gas prices? Just get them down. That's what competence is about, right?
MAJOR GARRETT: That's right. There are only so many things. It shows a continuum of competence. If you look at what President Obama said during the campaign, not just about bin Laden but about the Afghanistan campaign in general. I'm going to fight it hard. I'm going to think about it new and prosecute that war more aggressively than the current president which he has done. And now in Afghanistan he has some progress and in Pakistan went on his own and got the result everyone in the country wanted to see. Secondarily, Chris, I think it's enormously important what we saw last night. Young people around the country, here in Washington, of course, and New York City coming to the streets to celebrate. Young people who vote and whose lives have been defined by the war on terror and all the things that it's inflicted upon us, not only psychically but operationally. I believe in one element of the youth vote and energizing the Obama campaign for 2012, this will have enormous impact, because these kids remember what it's like to grow up with bin Laden as sort of the biggest monster in their world. He's now gone. The war on terror feels more effectively fought under Obama than it may have to them under President Bush. I think that will have residual effect.

Sometimes I wonder about Chris Matthews.
Submitted by Phryj1 on Mon, 05/02/2011 - 7:19pm.
There are times when it seems like Chrissy is actually a fake Democrat, like how Colbert is a fake Republican. Because his hyperbolic and completely over the top love for the left and seething resentment of the right seems more like a brilliantly exaggerated parody of a liberal than an authentic one. If you try watching him or reading his transcripts with that in mind, it becomes completely hilarious.
But even if that's not the case, his rants are still good for a chuckle.
Progressives seem to be completely averse to facts and logic. Apparently, reality has a conservative bias.

America propped up Bin Laden's career and funded his operation until he turned on the U.S. His role as a leader of terrorism was a backlash against the double speak of the U.S. Even when suspicions were that he was hiding or being protected by other extreme muslim terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the American Congress and President KEPT sending foreign aid to these countries. Isn't it time to 1.) stop the foreign aid to extreme muslim terrorist nations, 2.) quit trying to "prop" up our favorite dictators and thugs around the world and 3. start the prosecution of Obama, Holder, Napolitano and Clinton for doing the same in Mexico through the AFT's Project Gunrunner!

Can Matthews actually believe people are going to look at this one single Presidential thing Obama has done and it will erase the reality that the United States is in collapse by nearly every measure? Is it possible that he really does think that a man who is defined by his dithering ineptitude is a master commander? I can't tell if Matthews is frightened and desperate to bolster Obama's image or simply delusional. I know that he goes into contortions to justify Obama's worthiness as President, but this "master" thing is way out there.
As to the birther thing, it is so threadbare even Matthews ought to be aware of the ridicule he garners for himself in continuing to push the issue. -bidn-

"The cool hand directs the operation step by step."
That assclown couldn't direct a Girl Scout cookie drive. This slobbering adoration of an empty suit is just disgusting. His only actual action was to give the presidential go ahead authorizing the invasion of a foreign country (a distopic chaotic tribal mess actually that calls itself a country).
Even with that, I heard a caller put up what I consider one of two causes for Obumbles doing this. The caller said someone in the military had "leaked" that they would leak it to the press just before the election that OBL was in a known place and the military had a 99% chance plan to get him and Barry chickened out.
My take on it, perhaps in concert with that idea, is that Barry is thrashing about looking for campaign points because he knows he toast on the economy. He awards an MOH to a living soldier. He gives up his birth certificate. He goes after OBL. He attacks Libya. I believe he's trying to gin up some "war president" bona fides. Lots of luck with that. The OBL strike almost went south with another crashed chopper. Libya is a flamming disaster. Etc.

Jer, Both Obama and Bush
Submitted by Liberallies on Mon, 05/02/2011 - 10:30pm.
Both Obama and Bush deserve credit. I hold that the military and intelligence services deserve much more credit.
However, the problem I haved is that the Left attacked, spit upon, deried the tacticst Obama used to locate and have Osama Bin Laden killed when these were created and used by President Bush. NOw, however, the Left is all giddy and happy.
Jer, even you can see the hypocrisy by the Left. It is hard to applaud Obama when as a Senator he attacked Bush for the harsh interrogations which he now used to find and kill Obama.
It is also now know that the trail to find Osama became hot thanks to detainees at Gitmo. Imagine if they had closed it as Obama and the Left wanted. Of course Obama hasn't done anything to close it and the Left forgives him, but they bit Bush head over Gitmo.
I applaud the military, the Navy Seals, the Intelligence community. I applaud Bush for putting into play what eventually led to finding Osama and I applaud Obama for giving the go ahead and using Bush's tactics to capture Osama.
Also, I would encourage you how the Left did not exactly rejoice over the killing of Al-Qaeda's second in command and how they also barely rejoiced when Saddam Hussein was captured.
Hard to applaud a President who stood up against Bush and then turns around and uses the same tactics he attacked Bush for.

Good gawd....
Look...I give Obama credit for recognizing this as the right time and place to carry out this attack...He could have decided not to green light this operation. That said, the framework and much of the groundwork for this operation were laid in place long before Obama became president...We can all thank President Bush for that. Obama, to his credit, did generally pick up where Bush left off, although he has made the idiotic decision to water down many of our interrogation tactics which Bush and Co. put in place, which, ironically, lead to some of the intelligence that helped bring this successful operation about.
Matthews is, surprise surprise, in full orgasmic mode about all this, which is exactly what I expected from him today...He can rant and carry on about how "masterful" and "commanding" Obama is all he wants, but the fact remains that gas prices are still going through the roof, inflation is rising, millions are still out of work, and the deficit remains astronomical, and those are the issues that Obama is still in huge trouble about.

That would be Chris Matthews. He has about 300 viewers that actually take him seriously. The rest of us are just flipping over from Fox News for a laugh during commercials. Or NewsBusters contributors looking for material. The truth (painful if you're a liberal) is that Bush was the head coach of the entire operation that resulted in bin Laden being found and killed. Obama was just the water boy who happened to stumble into the coaches office at the right time.

I happened to be watching Matthews when he opened with that statement and I actually laughed out loud. It really seemed like an SNL skit where they go way over the top for the sake of humor. And it occurred to me that the best way to watch Matthew's show is to think of it as a parody, just like SNL. That way it can actually be quite enjoyable and a source of great humor. At least it beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

When I first heard about the planned GZ visit I thought "How many other times has he been there?" Because I just knew this was more political theater than anything else.
After reading your post I Googled "obama visit ground zero." Every return was dated May 2011 until the ninth entry on page 3. That one was dated Sep 11, 2008 and referred to Obama and McCain both visiting the site, curiously right in the midst of campaigning. Hmmmm.
Even jumping ahead to PAGE 35 of Google hits revealed no other story of Obama at GZ other than the compaign-centric visit in 2008. There were some entries about Biden going in 2010 while Obama went to the Pentagon, but that's it.
Just seems too politically motivated for my taste. Maybe someone can link to a story about Obama visiting GZ between 2008 and today. I couldn't find one.

Chris Matthews a old rich white haired man, who happens to think that everyone in the world is a racist, except himself and his friends. Matthews is a race-baiter who uses people's skin color to accomplish his goals. MLK would be sickened by Chris Matthews and his attacks on all people.

We've heard about problems between generations for years, but the most recent issue on many people's minds is the digital divide.
Generations are now being categorized between digital immigrants and digital natives. Immigrants are born before 1980 and hold mixed views on technology. Where as the natives place an extremely high value on technology in their daily lives.
Now that smart phones have been introduced, it seems as though the gap grows larger each day, and the effects it has on almost every aspect of our lives grows as well. These range from how we gather information, to how you interact. Because one half of the divide prefers interacting face to face, and the other uses technology, the main issue becomes that both generations rarely get to see or hear from each other.

And no, we are not talking about 2011; the Year of Blackshear. We're talking about this year.
Sizzlin Siva and Thunderin TJ. Swooping Swop and Rim-Rocking Rock. Bombs from Marra and Kuric.
And, of course... Preston! (with a healthy wrist.)
I've been, I think, touting our upcoming 2010-2011 success more than most fans. I've posted here at CC that we'll make it to the big dance -- and suprise the pundits by outperforming our seeding. Now, after stumbling upon this Maddux Sports article, I feel more confident about my homerism. When 'money people' talk, it's time to start listening.
People working with money are a whooooole lot more serious about what they post. So there is no homerism in their post, and definitely some knowledgeable insights in the piece, although a glaring error is the inclusion of Sallie. Also I found it curious they didn't give any love to Kyle Kuric. Don't get me wrong, I'm not predicting he's going to be All Big East. Then again, I'm not predicting he won't. I am however, predicting he will have a few surprises for some opponents this year. (Probably not Syracuse however, whom I think we all agree will be on him like
white on lawyers on a crash victim.)
They summarize with this, and don't try to tell me it doesn't get your heart beating a tick faster.
In ranking the Louisville Cardinals 18th in the nation, you've got to consider their potential which is huge. Of course a major dilemma is the need for so many guys to step up. Still, the talent is there and more often than not Rick Pitino has been able to exploit the talent on hand. Fifth in the Big East is possible and a Sweet 16 appearance is attainable.
A note to Terrence Jennings:
It's your time. Work out hard and represent ! TJ takin Da Ville to the Final Four = NBA paycheck

HUFFINGTONPOST.COM - Yeah, I know I know, that's a mouthful of a title, but I wanted to get my point across and, well, that was what I came up with. It was a funny piece, or at least that's what I was aiming for; I wanted to convey that sometimes being a parent sees us giving up a little ground on the fashion/physical shape front.
I had gained a few pounds since my daughter was born three years ago and my dress code had taken a pretty hard hit, too. Plus, I like to laugh a little at myself here and there -- it helps keep things in perspective, I think. click here to read more

As it becomes more and more clear that the 2010 New York Knicks, lovable as they may be, have a long way to go before they can be considered "good", a few questions come to mind. Why does Amar'e Stoudemire continue to go one-on-four half a dozen times every game? Is the pick-and-roll *really* that complicated that professional players in the best league in the world cannot wrap their brains around it, or at least show some indication that they're getting there? Why do our least efficient scorers take the vast majority of our shots? Why do the wheels of our defense completely fall off without Ronny Turiaf on the floor? Why do we only play 36 minutes of basketball, etc. etc. But what I'm wondering right now is... what the fuck happened to Anthony Randolph?
We've seen the highlights, and the odd Warriors game here and there. We saw the numbers, which suggested that with enough playing time and the right coach we could have a young star on our hands. We heard the warnings, about the extreme highs and lows of his play. We heard the coaching staff drool over his upside and generational talent, while acknowledging that he was a work in progress--but a big part of the Knicks' plan going forward. And so far?
A whole twelve minutes per game (six less than even his rookie season). A frigid 6 of 25 from the field, total. A general sense of floating around and simply not getting it, a few spectacularly bone-headed plays, and a leash so short that D'Antoni might as well be out there grabbing him by the scruff of his neck. The most level-headed of Knicks beat writers (low bar, but whatevs) twats that Randolph straight up sucks at basketball and should maybe be ritually sacrificed, for reals. Yikes!
So what gives? Why is he struggling? What's the plan for him anyway? Here are some random thoughts/conspiracy theories:
Not enough playing time:
He's a young'n who has been jerked around by his head coach for his entire pro career, and it shows. Whenever he screws up he looks over at the bench, like an abused puppy that instinctively flinches whenever someone raises a hand. Here in NY, he is clearly pressing, trying too hard to be the budding superstar that some of us hoped he would become. So what do we do? Take him out immediately whenever he screws up, of course! Young players need the opportunity to play through mistakes. Give him guidance, give him a small, clearly defined role, and grin and bear it while he figures things out. It's not like everyone else is playing perfect ball, so why limit Randolph to two five-minute stretches per game (if he's lucky)?
No defined role:
What is he supposed to do out there, when he does play? His offensive repertoire is obviously much more raw than anticipated, but he does demonstrate decent passing, tremendous rebounding and a lot of blocks per minute. His role should be made idiot-proof: play defense, sprint down the floor in transition, clean the glass, and try to get out of the way during set plays on offense. This would seem simple, but either he's being told to do this and not listening, or he's not being told to do this. My money is on the latter, because look at who he plays with! Last night for example, he was part of the following line-up to start the 4th quarter:
PG: Douglas SG: Mason Jr. SF: Chandler PF: Randolph C: Mozgov
That line-up has the collective basketball IQ of a cinderblock. TD is a scorer who cannot run an offense, Mason Jr. cannot play basketball, Chandler looks mostly for his own shot, and Mozgov is very raw as well. I ask you, who is the best passer/facilitator of the five? The answer is "none of the above." This is not a line-up conducive to success, particularly Randolph's success. He should be out there deferring to Amar'e, getting the ball from Felton on the break, and playing defense, period. He should not be encouraged to do his Kevin Durant on PCP impression because there is huge leadership vacuum on the floor for the five minutes he's out there.
Maybe he is just really, really, really dumb:
Could it be that for all his freakish athleticism and skill at rebounding/blocking shots/handling the ball, he is so monumentally stupid that even simple basketball tasks and strategies are beyond him? We were warned by Warriors fans that he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I really hope it's not that bad. Pringles is known for not micro-managing his players, but it may be that Randolph really needs his instructions spelled out for him (and then pantomimed for him, and then written down and safety-pinned to his uniform). Then again, the list of players who have consistently demonstrated excellent basketball IQ this year is the following:
(Honorable mention: Ronny Turiaf)
That's… pretty much it. Is Randolph SO stupid that he out-stupids everyone else on the roster, who have all chipped in to fulfill our seasonal quota of face-palm moments in record time? Or is he, for some reason, getting a raw-er deal than most?
Maybe this is all part of the master plan:
Unlikely, but I like to hold out hope that Walsh and D'Antoni love him so, so, so much that they've decided to bury him on the bench to nuke his trade value, so that Denver won't even want him once we (inevitably?) let them pick over our roster in exchange for Carmelo Anthony. Fat chance, I know, but… stranger things have happened, I guess?
Anyway, I would like to know what you all think is wrong with the kid and what can be done about it. I still think his talent is tantalizing, and he's shown flashes of it despite so far generally playing like he spends his time on the bench huffing paint. In the (very small sample size) of minutes he's had as a Knickerbocker, he's averaged 12.6 reb/36, 2.7 blocks/36 and has a rebound percentage of 19% all of which are good for tops on the team and right around his prodigious career averages to date. There has to be a way he can be a major contributor, but HOW?
There's just something about his combination of youth, skill, comical proportions, sad face and middle name of "Erwin" that makes me really want Anthony Randolph to succeed. How can we get this train back on the rails?

Brown sugar adds a lovely caramel flavor to the meringues. Good with whipped cream, as a filling sandwiched between the meringues, and drizzled with melted bittersweet chocolate.
1. Preheat the oven to 250°F (130°C). Beat the egg whites in a bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Beat in the brown sugar, 2 tbsp at a time.
2. Line 2 baking sheets with wax paper. Using a heaping teaspoon for each, spoon the meringues, spaced about 1in (2.5cm) apart, on the baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, or until they are crisp on the outside and slightly chewy inside.
Crisp meringues: To make the meringues crisp, turn the oven off and leave them inside until completely cool.

The Seahawks agreed to terms to re-sign CB Marcus Trufant, the team announced on Monday.
Seahawks sign Lutui, Ruud, Lewis
Seattle has agreed to terms with two free agents, ex-Cardinals OG Deuce Lutui and ex-Titans LB Barrett Ruud, the team announced Friday. It also re-signed CB Roy Lewis.
Are Seahawks willing to use top pick on LB?
Team sources tell us Pete Carroll must decide whether or not he's willing to use the Seahawks' first pick (12th overall) on a lowly linebacker.
Seattle Seahawks
Here are the Seattle Seahawks top three needs going into the draft, subject to any free-agent signings it may make before then.
NFC West draft needs
Some close observers of the Rams believe the team covets Oklahoma State WR Justin Blackmon, as PFW examines the draft needs of the four NFC West teams.

Seahawks sign RB Lumpkin
The Seahawks have found a backup for Marshawn Lynch, agreeing to a deal on Friday with ex-Buccaneers RB Kregg Lumpkin.
Seahawks sign OL Omiyale
The Seahawks have signed OL Frank Omiyale, who was released earlier in the offseason by the Bears.
Quinn and the Seattle Seahawks officially finalized their deal to make him the backup quarterback to starter Russell Wilson on Thursday. Terms of the contract were not available. Quinn and the Seahawks agreed to the deal earlier this week.||||||| Quinn joins Josh Portis as the expected backups to Wilson. Quinn played last year for the Chiefs, starting eight games. It was his first regular-season playing time since the 2009 season.
Quinn will be Seattle's new backup quarterback after his new deal with the Seahawks was announced Tuesday.||||||| Quinn beat out three other quarterbacks: Matt Leinart, Seneca Wallace and Tyler Thigpen. The four QBs worked out for the Seahawks on Monday.
Quinn completed 19 of 23 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win against Carolina.||||||| Quinn posted a 132.1 passer rating, the second best of his career.
Coach Romeo Crennel announced Wednesday that Quinn will start Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, regaining the job he lost when he sustained a concussion against Oakland.||||||| Quinn was cleared to play last week against Cincinnati and came on in the second half for the ineffective Matt Cassel, who was the starter early in the season before sustaining his own concussion. That thrust Quinn, a former first-round draft pick, into the starting lineup against Tampa Bay, and when Cassel was cleared to play, Crennel decided to stick with Quinn on a permanent basis.
Quinn has not been cleared for contact following his concussion and will miss his second straight start Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.||||||| Matt Cassel will start in Quinn's place. Cassel was the starter the first five games of the season before sustaining a concussion and then losing the job during the bye week. The former first-round draft pick returned to Kansas City late Tuesday after being advised by neurologists that he should avoid contact. Quinn has been cleared to take part in light workouts during the individual portion of practices.

Reflecting on a 'dawg hearted' act
According to the Planning Institute of Jamaica's Economic and Social Survey there were 1,133 murders last year. High as that figure undoubtedly is, it reflects an actual 21.4 per cent decline from 2010.
The sad truth is that for many years now, Jamaica has been numbered among those countries with the highest murder rates.
No wonder then that down the years Jamaicans have come to take reports of violent crime in stride. In some cases, we regret to say, it's like water off a duck's back.
But every now and again we are jolted by a particularly heinous and seemingly senseless act. Such was the murder on Monday of 27 year-old used car dealer Mr Michael Rochester on the Spur Tree main road in Manchester.
The police have detained three suspects in relation to Mr Rochester's murder and we trust the investigation will be successfully concluded — leading to the conviction of those responsible. We have since learnt that one of the three suspects is on bail on a murder and shooting charge while the other was recently acquitted of murder.
Early indications are that the motive for Mr Rochester's murder was theft. Those who had come purportedly to buy a car from Mr Rochester opted to steal it instead. In doing so, they chose to shoot him and push him from the car.
We will probably never know for sure why it was considered necessary to kill Mr Rochester. It could just be, as some would have it, that Mr Rochester's killers are simply "dawg hearted and wicked".
The incident, though, should serve as a lesson for all of us, whether we live in a so-called peaceful rural setting or the urban centres, that extreme caution should be exercised when doing business with strangers.
For example, the police high command have repeatedly said that police personnel are willing and able to assist in transactions such as that which went so sadly awry in the case of Mr Rochester. Jamaicans should take them at their word.
We would be amiss were we to end without a word on the quick and seemingly well coordinated police action in apprehending the suspects.
Jamaicans have had reason on occasions to question the competence and judgement of the police as they seek to intercept fleeing criminals.
In this latest case we are told by the Commissioner of Police Owen Ellington that the "outcome was realised through strong policing efforts that utilised basic principles such as observation, and was assisted greatly by an environment of open and clear communication".
Mr Ellington is reported as saying the incident should be a reminder to all members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force of what can be achieved when police officers support each other.
This newspaper joins Mr Ellington and the head of the Police Area 3, Assistant Commissioner of Police Derrick Cochrane in congratulating those responsible for a job well done.

MGIC Files Suit To Resolve Pool Dispute
MILWAUKEE, May 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MGIC Investment Corporation (NYSE: MTG) announced today that its Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation subsidiary has filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court in Milwaukee, Wisconsin against Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Finance Administration (Freddie Mac's conservator) regarding the pool insurance dispute between MGIC and Freddie Mac. The dispute has been described for some time in MGIC Investment's public disclosures, including on pages 16-17 of Investment's April 23, 2012 earnings release.
Investment said it would not comment on the suit beyond a communication it has sent to Freddie Mac, which said in part:
That we took the initiative in seeking to resolve our dispute through the judicial system does not mean we cannot seek to resolve it "out of court." Indeed, we welcome the opportunity to continue such discussions, but could not accept the terms on which Freddie Mac was willing to do so.
As Freddie Mac's largest mortgage insurance counterparty, we place the highest value on the long and fruitful relationship between our two companies. We trust our attempt to seek resolution of this dispute through litigation will not affect that relationship. From our perspective, we intend to conduct "business as usual" on the various matters between us and hope after due reflection Freddie Mac will concur this approach makes sense.
