John Heilemann: Bush v. Gore Ruling 'Pure Politics and Purely Corrupt'
With the Supreme Court about to decide the fate of ObamaCare, Americans are destined to hear all kinds of accusations about the so-called partisan nature of the conservatives on the bench.
New York magazine's John Heilemann did his part on this weekend's Chris Matthews Show claiming the Court's ruling in 2000's Bush v. Gore case "was pure politics and purely corrupt" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Kelly, is it your view, the same view that it would be viewed as a partisan ruling if they rule against it?
KELLY EVANS, CNBC: It's hard to see how the media rhetoric would be played out any other way, and certainly the Obama administration would try to play it that way and claim that it was a political rather than a legally based decision.
GLORIA BORGER, CNN: And that's a problem for the Court because you did have Bush v. Gore. This is, you know, health care reform is a political issue.
MATTHEWS: I wonder if they're thinking like this, John, that they better not look partisan.
JOHN HEILEMANN, NEW YORK MAGAZINE: It's not comparable to Bush v. Gore. It's not. A stolen election, which is what still many people think about that, is not the same as striking down this. This is, there is a Constitutional, a legitimate, very conservative Constitutional argument in play here. On Bush v Gore it was like, it was pure politics and purely corrupt.
Does Heilemann really believe there was no Constitutional argument in play with Bush v. Gore?
Let's remember on a 7-2 vote, the Court decided the Equal Protection Clause in the fourteenth amendment was being violated by the differences in how votes were being counted from one Florida county to the other.
Does Heilemann think Justices Breyer, Kennedy, O'Connor, Rehnquist, Scalia, Souter and Thomas made this decision purely for political reasons without any knowledge of the fourteenth amendment?
The reality is that liberals like Heilemann didn't like this decision, or the 5-4 one concerning remedy, and have been grousing about it for over a decade.
Of course, if that case had been ruled in Gore's favor, Heilemann and his ilk would have considered it a scholarly decision completely lacking in partisanship.
The same is going to be true of the pending ObamaCare ruling.
If the Court upholds the law, the media will celebrate the wisdom of the bench as well as our entire judicial system.
But if any part of ObamaCare is struck down, the press will consider it "pure politics and purely corrupt."
Funny how that works.

Warning!! Alternate Universe Leakage!!
Submitted by wizardjr on Sun, 03/25/2012 - 10:36pm.
This asshat has no idea what actually happened otherwise he wouldn't make such an assinine statement.
Even more important than the 14th Amendment considerations, it was the blatant attempt by the Florida Supreme Clowns to change the election rules ex post facto. Even many of the libtard news mumblers of the day couldn't understand how you could change the rules AFTER the voting. The US Supremes threw out all that magical juris stupidity and with that, the vote counting was done in an orderly and proper manner after the rules existing at the time of the voting.
Of course the Goracle lost, so it must be due to 'illegal' actions of 'conservatives'.

Politics was in the Florida Supreme Court
Submitted by libBuster on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 9:45am.
I agree. The politicization of the issue came from the Florida Supreme Court. It failed to head the gentle dictum of the US Supreme Court and the well thought out ruling of its own Democratic Florida Superior Court judge.
At that point the Supreme Court had to get involved. The Florida Supreme Court was devising out of whole cloth a new vote counting scheme that would have emphasized cathing mythical misvotes in heavily Democratic Counties -- thereby giving he election to Al Gore.
The Florida Superior Court Judge followed the law in ruling against Gore. Quite simply nothing in the Florida Election code allowed for divining of voter intent. The machines functioned as designed. End of story. Next time, mark your ballot properly.
It was disgraceful.

I think HEIL-mann DID get his
Submitted by killa37 on Sun, 03/25/2012 - 11:09pm.
I think HEIL-mann DID get his statement worded correctly, but he missed by about 180 degrees. It WAS 'pure politics and purely corrupt', and ALGORE did try to 'steal' the election.............by sending an army of lawyers down to Florida the next day, and tie the results up for weeks, trying every legal manuvre in the books to get the results that they wanted. I think the end result has been verified time and time again, including by the MSM.
And, for those who weren't real happy with GW Bush..............just let your mind entertain the thought of ALGORE as President.
Or John 'why the long face' Kerry, for that matter. Or................jeez...................who do we have now??? Boy Barry Soetoro Baraka Hussein Obama - the biggest scam ever perpetrated on the American people in the history of this country, and also the most dangerous threat to the USA in the HISTORY of this country!!!!
And if HEIL-mann thinks that the 2000 elections were fraught with monkey business (oh, god, is that a 'racist' statement??), I'd advise him to keep a sharp eye on the one coming up later this year............

It's still up to congress to repeal ObamaCare
Submitted by lrgon on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 5:43am.
That the Supreme Court judges will call the entire bill unconstitutional would be great for the country.
The Supreme Court caved in to FDR's demands and left most of the New Deal in tact despite it's unconstitutionality.The courts have bowed to political pressure and I suspect they will with Obamacare.
That states have made a push in their legislatures to "nullify" Obamacare and that is a welcome sign. http://www.facebook.com/ChooseFreedom.StopObamaCare
U.S. District Judge Roger K. Vinson which the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld in part, and is the case the Supreme Court will be hearing today (Monday 26), doesn't expect Obamacare to simply go away.
"Reversing what is presently in effect (and what will be put into effect in the future) may prove enormously difficult....the Executive Branch seeks to continue the implementation, in part, for the very reason that the implemented provisions will be hard to undo once they are fully in place."

About 40 years ago, the SCOTUS made a decision that people even today are still questioning, saying that decision is "pure politics" and "corrupt".
So get over it already.
What Hell-man is trying to do is set up the narrative for when the SCOTUS DOES INDEED OVERTURN Obama-care, as is right now a distinct possibility, as a court ruled by "politically corrupt" conservative activist judges.
Sure, John. And when it comes time to sell that snake oil, I'm sure there will be plenty of people in long lines waiting to buy it.

This is going to be all about Kennedy
Submitted by c5then on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 8:55am.
Kagan, Ginsburgh, Sotomajor and Breyer will almost undoubtedly rule the individual mandate as constitutional under the Commerce Clause and thus uphold the law.
Scalia, Thomas, Roberts and Alito will almost undoubtedly rule that the individual mandate is unconstitutional and the law will be struck down because of the lack of a severability clause.
That leaves Justice Kennedy as the swing vote. So it will come down to his view on whether the Commerce Clause gives Congress the authority to force people to engage in commerce as part of their regulatory power. Another interesting issue that might be brought up (but maybe not) is that the business of health insurance is decidedly NOT interstate commerce because Congress has specifically forbidden it to be. Each company that sells health insurance is forced to create a wholey owned subsidiary in each state that they do business in. It is illegal (by congressional act) for a resident of Illinois to buy health insurance from an Indiana insurer. So then....can Congress regulate it?

The irony of Heilmann's claim
Submitted by Galvanic on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 1:24pm.
Heilmann and the so-called "progressives" demand that the Supreme Court BE POLITICAL -- that's the idea behind activist courts directing social change. These people don't want Federal courts ruling strictly on the Constitutionality of laws, but on extra-Constitutional concepts like 'social justice' and 'economic justice.' Progressives insist that time has changed so many circumstances that the Constitution is obsolete and needs to be interpreted in new ways.
It was under judicial activism that the Warren Court stretched the power of the Commerce Clause to desegregate the South in the '50s and '60s. The Warren Court wasn't the first to exented the Commerce Clause, but they were one of the more active in doing so.
To the progressives, the SCOTUS is politicized whenever it strictly interprets the Constitution and shoots down social engineering laws, but acting Constitutionally when it expands the power of the legislative and executive branches and upholds social engineering laws.

If the left is going to keep up the political nostalgia ploy with the "invalid elections" nonsense, perhaps we can go back to JFK's sudden victory from the Illinois "resurrection election" or any of LBJ's cemetery elections.

Considering that almost two-thirds of Americans want Obamacare repealed, I think that's the last thing they're worried about.

This story was the start
Submitted by sherlock1 on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 11:44am.
This story was the start of my awakening from the thrall of the MSM. I voted for Gore because I accepted the narrative about Bush being stupid. I accepted the narrative about Bush taking the election to the courts and being "selected". I started wondering a bit when I was told how Florida Secretary of State Catherine Harris' wearing of excessive makeup proved that she was throwing the election to Bush. I was relieved when the NYT, Boston Globe, LAT, WAPO et al. hired a big accounting firm to look into who really won.
Of course 9-11 came along and most of us forgot about that last item. But I didn't. When the results finally surfaced a year later, they showed that Bush had really won. But it didn't really "surface" because it was buried by all the papers quite effectively, and to this day most people don't know it happened, and even many media personalities repeat the "fact" that Bush "stole" the election.
As a result of this, I started critically questioning everything I saw in the media, and it did not take long before it became obvious that they could not be trusted to report the facts without introducing their biases in favor of the liberal left. This has only gotten worse over the years, to the point where I cannot help but regard the media as dangerous enemies of our society.

Colors were pretty and I like the reversible feature. However, the sizing on this item was waaay off. I normally wear a size 10 (occasionally 12), so I ordered a Medium. I could not even get the skirt on - when I measured it, the waist was about the size of a standard size 2, and although it was supposed to be elastic it barely stretched at all. Had to return this item.
The waist of the skirt was not a size large...More like a Size 2 or smaller

text: Shortly after my years at Disney Animation Studios (then known as Disney Feature Animation) were over, I worked on a few projects for Disney Toon Studios before finding my current home designing for the Disney Stores. One of those projects was "Cinderella 3: A Twist In Time". My first job on that project was to help develop the character of Prince Charming. He would be playing a much more "active" role in this film. So at first I was thinking, "Is he younger, more athletic ?" I wasn't quite sure at the time, so I got to drawing. Seen here is a little bit of my exploration. You can see it's all a bit of a variation on a theme. As we got closer to production, his design fell closer to the original film. We didn't need to redesign him after all, just give him a bit more character for the animators and story artists to play with. It was a fun assignment and project to work on.

On Friday, February 14, 2014, the Superior Court for the County of Alameda ruled in the City's favor, dismissing with prejudice former Interim City Manager Ann Marie Gallant's complaint against the City of Alameda. The trial court found for the City on all counts and awarded the City attorney's fees and costs.
In August 2011 Ms. Gallant sued the City alleging the City had wrongfully retaliated against her by terminating her employment as interim City Manager. Gallant claimed that certain actions of the City Council, and specifically statements made by Councilmember Lena Tam, indicated an improper purpose behind the decision not to renew her contract. The Court rejected that argument in total, finding the City acted completely within its authority.
"Gallant's attack on my character cost me and the City money that could have been put to better use during tight budget times," said Councilmember Lena Tam. "I am gratified that the court ruled her allegations were false and without merit, and that she needs to reimburse the City."
"The City is completely vindicated in the actions we took," said Mayor Marie Gilmore. "Not only does this decision end a difficult chapter in the City's history, but it enables the City to recoup its legal costs incurred in defending this meritless lawsuit."
"Let this be a reminder that we vigorously defend against all frivolous lawsuits; and that in all cases, we will go after our legal costs," said City Attorney Janet Kern.

Juvenile Court Clerk Deserved Jail Time Over Missing Files, Appeals Court Says
Posted Feb 2, 2010 1:11 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Updated: The juvenile court clerk for Davidson County was properly held in civil contempt and jailed after he repeatedly violated court orders to provide needed files, a Tennessee appellate court has ruled.
Vic Lineweaver was jailed for only a few hours in the 2007 incident before his staff found the missing files and he was released, according to the Tennessean. He had previously provided most of the files he was required to produce and argued that he shouldn't have been held in contempt because he didn't intentionally withhold files from juvenile court referees.
But the Tennessee Court of Appeals disagreed. "The evidence shows that, underneath the thin veneer of words, Lineweaver's actions amounted to utter indifference in the face of the court's order to take action to produce the needed files," says Judge Holly Kirby in the court's written opinion. Thus, "his actions were clearly 'contrary to [his] known duty' and constitute willful violation of the referees' direct order."
Attorney Dewey Branstetter represents Lineweaver. He says he intends to urge his client to appeal, the Tennessean reports.
Meanwhile, a veteran court reporter in Harris County, Texas, has negotiated a plea deal in a criminal case over losing a trial transcript that will require him to pay a $4,000 fine but will not involve any jail time, reports the Houston Chronicle.
Don Rymer, who was indicted in April in on a felony charge of tampering with a government record, agreed Friday to a sentence including one year of deferred adjudication on a misdemeanor charge of tampering with a government record, the newspaper says. If he successfully completes his probation—during which time he cannot work as a government court reporter—there will be no conviction on his record.
He began working as a court reporter in Harris County in 1968. His lawyer, Brock Thomas, says Rymer is relieved to have the plea resolved but declines to discuss what happened to the missing trial transcript.

This started out as a comment to this post by Randy, talking about my story over at Let's Go Tribe, "It's Official — Sabathia is a Jackass". I first want to thank Randy for the shout-out and everyone who commented for the supportive words. In that thread, the question was asked, would the reaction be the same had Sabathia signed with the Red Sox? I will admit that it's not a simple question, but the simple answer is "no."
From an Indians fan's perspective, at least two key facts still separate the Red Sox and Yankees in the "nemesis" column. The first is that the Red Sox were pushed into operating like a giant economic powerhouse, while the Yankees were the ones doing the pushing. As I detailed a few months ago, the Yankees always maintained one of the highest payrolls through the mid-90's, but usually only about 10% higher than the next team. It was only after 1998 that they took what was already the highest payroll in baseball ... and tripled it ... over the course of just a few years.
The Red Sox, under the old ownership, were a club run with no creativity and a good bit of doltishness by Dan Duquette, but he also spent big money wisely once in a while. The Red Sox could not afford at that time to double the payroll, so the new ownership decided that the club had to get a lot smarter, both about baseball operations and about maximizing revenues. By that point, the only other alternative was to cede the AL East to the Yankees, indefinitely. Whatever my views about the revenue situation, I don't think it's fair or reasonable to say that the Red Sox should have just rolled over rather than responding forcefully, building up a store of economic might and wielding it with great skill.
If it were on the table — if it ever gets to the table — I think the Red Sox management across the board — Henry, Lucchino, Theo and certainly Bill James — would support an economic system that gives all 30 teams a level playing field, whatever that system might be. I think they have justifiable confidence in their ability to compete without unfair advantages, and I think all those guys love baseball and understand that the game will be better over the course of this century if it's possible to have a great team in a "little big city" like Milwaukee. I think Henry has basically said this, on the record, more than once.
The Yankees, who have always pushed the envelope to make the system as unfair as possible, probably would oppose any measures along those lines; certainly the elder Steinbrenner has always opposed them bitterly in the past. So that makes for a key difference.
The second key fact is that we simply haven't had the same rivalry with one another, as both teams have had with the Yankees, even though all three clubs have been in more or less direct competition for over a century. Like Red Sox fans, Indians fans savor the moment of any postseason victory, and like Red Sox fans, victory is just that much sweeter when the Yankees get humiliated in the process. There was an extra kick with the 1997 ALDS, when we broke Rivera to take it from the Yankees. It was not remotely the same when we beat the Red Sox in 1998, and that is partly because the Yankees have been shameless in pushing the economic envelope, partly because their fans have always been the most obnoxious (led by their king), partly you're taking something away from the most overpaid players in the game.
(You can't take their paychecks, but you can leave them with nothing else. Oh, the perfect beauty of a stunned, jerkoff-filled Yankee Stadium! Especially when the Indians have delivered the beat-down, but even when it's someone else. As a baseball fan, I could never enjoy a Red Sox defeat the way I enjoyed the end of the 2004 ALCS.)
This is mostly a function of the teams' histories. The Red Sox were a dominant club through the 1910's, edging out the Indians in 1918 for Boston's fourth title in eight years. But the Indians didn't even get good until 1917, and the Red Sox ducked out after 1918 while the Indians had a nice run through 1921. The Red Sox next won in 1946, and the Indians weren't a factor. The Red Sox finished a close second in 1948, when the Indians won their next and most recent championship, but as in 1917, Boston was fading out while the Indians were fading in. Cleveland played well over .600 ball from 1948 to 1955, probably the greatest period in our history, winning two pennants, but the Red Sox were not a factor in the AL after 1949.
The Red Sox won pennants in 1967 and 1975, but by that point, the Indians were already into their 35-year slump. Our clubs "competed" in the AL East for 25 seasons, but the Indians never finished higher than 4th. In the Wild Card era, the Indians dominated the late 90's and kept the Red Sox out of the ALCS in two out of three Division Series. Ironically, the Red Sox may have made for a better matchup with the Yankees in the 1998 ALCS, and the Indians probably would have made a sturdier opponent in a seven-games series in 1999 — we bloodied each other up pretty good in those division series. It wasn't a sustained rivalry, though, as the Red Sox rightfully were much more focused on the Yankees. The Indians farm system went dry in sync with the economy, pushing them out of the picture as the new Red Sox regime took over and eventually dominated.
Which brings us to the present day. In a good year like 2007, the Indians are going to provide a strong competitor to any club including the Red Sox, but unlike the Red Sox, the Indians will not have the resources to procure a "good year" more or less every season. It is unfair, but as I wrote above, their only alternative to spending the way they have was to cede the division completely to the Yankees, and I don't blame them for not doing it. They didn't create the system, they're not aggravating the situation any more than another half-dozen high-revenue clubs are, and they won't defend the system.
In Cleveland, everyone has always said, oh, Player X, he's going to the Yankees eventually, but usually, he doesn't. Belle went to the White Sox and eventually the Orioles. Manny went to the Red Sox, Thome to the Phillies. We traded Colon to the Expos, who traded him to the White Sox, and eventually the Angels signed him. Despite the fairly constant obsessing about the Yankees as inevitable destination, this is the first time one of our top guys actually became a Yankee. It doesn't anger me, but it does irritate me. I'm sure losing Pedro to the Mets was nowhere near as galling for you guys as Damon crossing the line. (Not that Boston developed either player, but still.)
When Giambi signed with the Yankees, shaved his beard and said all that mooney-eyed Yankee crap, I said to myself, "That guy is a total jackass." He wasn't our player, and we never imagined we could sign him — in fact we didn't even need him — but it was simply clear to me that he was a jackass. When Clemens forced a trade to the Yankees, I said to myself, "That guy is an unbelievable jackass — he wants a championship even if it has to be spoon-fed to him" (which is basically what happened in 1999). Clemens really amped it up, too, with all those kiss-ass comments about his HOF cap and all the things "Mr. Steinbrenner" had supposedly "allowed" him to accomplish, like winning 300 games. Damon — jackass. A-Rod — huge jackass — and I actually like A-Rod, but his Yankee-ification has been the culmination of everything bad and stupid about him. I'm sure I'm forgetting some major jackasses along the way, but those are the ones that come to mind.
I'm sure most folks thought that my "jackass" article was all bout my being mad about losing Sabathia, but that actually isn't the case. It is sad to lose him, and it does sting, but this really is about consistency. I was okay with his leaving, I had accepted it and appreciated his time as an Indian. But once I saw him in that Yankees cap, saying all that stupid Yankee crap, it hit me — Sabathia doesn't get a free pass. He's a jackass, just like all those other guys who went to the Yankees and said all that stupid crap. Well, you've seen the article, I won't repeat it.
Manny was not a jackass for going to the Red Sox — in fact, he actually reached his own personal jackass heights in the way that he left, almost eight years later. There is just something disgusting about the Yankees that — sorry to break it to you — the Red Sox probably can never match. You see it in their fans, and that special, grotesque, know-nothing, front-running, we-are-always-the-awesomest odor they have. When a player not only takes the money, but takes it from the Yankees, and then starts spouting Yankees exceptionalism, he hasn't merely become a mercenary, he's become a Yankees fan at the same time. Gross.
And I guess maybe that's the bottom line. Had C.C. signed with the Red Sox, it still would have been mercenary, and it still would have been symptomatic of everything that's wrong with the game economically — but he sure as hell wouldn't have been morphing into a Yankees fan. Would I have called him a jackass? I really don't think so.

The real issues involving PRISM, the Obama administration's record on civil liberties, drone strikes, etc. are worth talking about,

Quote from: Durango 95 on June 19, 2013, 11:37:13 AMQuote from: CBWx2 on June 18, 2013, 08:43:33 PMThe real issues involving PRISM, the Obama administration's record on civil liberties, drone strikes, etc. are worth talking about,In before deletion.It looks like Greenwald and company simply misunderstood an NSA slide [see image at the top of this post for the slide] because they dont have the technical background to know that servers is a generic word and doesnt necessarily mean the same thing as the main servers on which a companys customer-facing services run. The servers mentioned in the slide are just lockboxes used for secure data transfer. They have nothing to do with the process of deciding which requests to comply withtheyre just means of securely and efficiently delivering information once a company has decided to do so.In other words, this slide describes how to move data from once place to another without it getting intercepted in transit: What the hell are the companies supposed to do? Fogel jokes. Put the data on a CD-ROM and mail it to Fort Meade?The implications of this interpretation, if correct, completely shift the grounds for the discussion of how the NSAs PRISM program worksthe difference, as Mark Jaquith of WordPress writes, between a bombshell and a yawn of a story.Greenwald has not yet made a public evaluation of whether or not he agrees that he made that mistake. He owes it to us to do so, with as much speed as practicably possible. Its not too much to say that the fate of his broader NSA project might hinge on doing so effectivelybecause the powers that be will find it very easy to seize on this one error to discredit his every NSA revelation, even the ones he nailed dead to rights. (Its not like there arent legitimate things to complain about here, as Fogel notes.)http://www.thenation.com/blog/174783/glenn-greenwalds-epic-botch#axzz2WcMxx63aI first took issue with Glenn's interpretation of Obama's state policy goals as "like Bush" back in a February 22, 2009 post, which I recapped a bit here yesterday. It is an extremely long and detailed post that covers a range of issues but here I want to focus on the claim, inaccurate in my view, that the Obama policy is a continuation of the Bush policy. As I stated in my February 2009 post, this strikes me as a case of amnesia as to what the Bush policy was and what the Bush legal claims were.The Bush Administration argued that the courts had no say in the matter. The Court rejected the Bush Administration argument in Hamdi. Afterwards, the Bush Administrations created Combatant Status Review Trials. In Hamdan, the Supreme Court found them to be inadequate constitutionally.The Boumediene Court found that the Bush Administration scheme did not meet these requirements. The Obama Administration detention regime does meet the bare minimum constitutional requirements. Obama is not "like Bush" on this point.However, the bar MUST be higher. In the rush to shout "like Bush," the true flaws in the Obama Executive Order are being overlooked. In this sense, Glenn is not only wrong, in some ways, more importantly, he is being an ineffective activist.http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/03/08/954007/-Glenn-Greenwald-And-Peter-King-Are-Wrong-About-Obama-s-New-Combatant-Status-Review-PolicyThere are so many examples of Greenwald's false equivalencies and flat out, factually devoid interpretations of the issues. He is a good investigative journalist, but should stop there. Here's the funny thing, just as Durango and his cronies knee-jerkingly attacked me for being an Obama defending partisan for posting those articles, Glenn Greenwald himself and his other cronies knee-jerkingly attacked the writer of the article published in "The Nation" that brought to light Greenwald's inaccuracies regarding the PRISM allegations and accused him of the same thing. The following is an exert from his response. There has been no more an accurate summation of Greenwald and his mindless lemming followers (like Durango) than this:Im never entirely sure that whatever I write is correct or clear or useful or profound or not, so a lot of stuff others consider straight-up trolling I often welcome as contributions to what Im trying to accomplish. Which, after all, is a collective, not personal, projectfor if Im not reaching people and persuading people, Im not doing anything at all. Its good to know when people are not being reached or persuaded. So I listen and strive to respect my friendly and unfriendly interlocutors both, as best I can, for they are my lifeblood. What else can I do?Glenn Greenwald, Ive been learning, is different. Heres what he said out of the box about my argument that he may have made a mistake in his claim about how PRISM works: that it turns the eagerness of Democratic partisans to defend the NSA as a means of defending President Obama. Im one of the propagandists referred to in his pieces title. Not correct. Not clear. Not profound. But most of all and most importantly, not useful. Let me say a bit as to why.For one thing, I couldnt care less about defending Barack Obama. I think he sucks at most parts of his job as I understand ittactically, strategically, ideologically, rhetorically, intellectually, ethicallybut Im not going to get caught in a pissing match establishing my bona fides on the subject. Should I link to this (www.thenation.com/blog/174183/penny-pritzkers-commerce-part-one) so that Ill maybe win the argument? Id rather not. Too late, because I just didthe temptation of intellectuals to make this about us is too great. Were human. We have egos. (If youre reduced to implying that Rick Fking Perlstein is overly solicitous of this administration, its time to lose all the fanboys and come back to the pack a little: Thanks, Charlie Pierce!) But I wish we didnt, because ultimately, its not about us. Our power to unmake a president, or bear him aloft with the sheer power of our prose if thats what we prefer, is nugatory anyway. All we can do it try to tell the truth as we understand it, without fear or favor.I feel incredibly fortunate to be have been allowed to do so without trimming my sails or looking over my shoulder, which is a good thing, because I have no idea how Id survive if I had to change how I wrote to please a patron. My writing brain, for good or ill, just isnt built that way. Some readers will look at my work and say that isnt possible, pointing to all the ways I fall short of some abstract standard of anti-institutional purity. Its an unfortunate logical fallacy on the left: that you can weigh a writers radicalism on some sort of scale, and from that arrive at a surefire calculation as to whether his or her heart is for sale (How much did Big Data pay u to play Judas?). Some simply cant believe that liberalseven centrists!might arrive at their positions through independent thought.Now, am I Democratic partisan? Maybe a little bit, sometimes. In the final analysis, yes, Rick Perlstein prefers a strong Democratic Party to a weak one. That said, I think I understand more clearly than most the corporate corrosions that make it such a pathetic vehicle for those who aspire to justice. Unfortunately, given the rules of the American political game, people who try to participate by self-righteously refusing to identify with one or the other of the two parties are like people who say they love to play baseball but refuse to join a team. The name of this gamea loooooong gameis ideological civil war for the soul of each party. And one you cant win if you dont play. I dont write that because Im a partisan, or because I prefer a two-party system. I write that because I think its true.But thats all a digression. And one that has nothing to do with whether Greenwald is wrong or right about PRISM (hes wrong, by the way) and why that matters. Ultimately, in a debate like this, the best thing a politically engaged intellectual can do is write in a way that does not short-circuit thought. And my, oh, my, does Greenwalds style of political discourse short-circuit thoughtwith a fierceness. You see it in the way both his supporters and his critics (even The Nation has turned against him! The national security state has been vindicated) respond to his work.Read another tweet:NSA admits listening to U.S. phone calls without warrants cnet.co/1agOFCy via @CNET What say you, @RickPerlstein ?I think we can detect here an accusatory tone, especially given the way the tweeter, therealpriceman, fawns over Glenn Greenwald generally. (Though you can never be sure on the Internet, and besides, why do people pursue political arguments on Twitter anyway? Ill never understand how, for instance, When u talk gun violence lk in mirror PA here we cling to guns-apologz to PRES Oanother tweet directed my way, apparently somehow meant to respond to thiscould possibly contribute anything useful to our common political life.) I detect in this message: even the NSA says youre wrong about Glenn Greenwald, so when are you going to apologize? And if Im reading right, thats some really smelly stupidity. Because the whole point of my original post was that there was plenty Greenwald had nailed dead to rights in his reporting. What I had in mind when I wrote that (I should have specified this, I think) was the stuff on Verizon turning over metadata to the NSA. And yet what therealpriceman links to is an article suggesting something that Greenwald has not (yet?) claimed, and which still remains controversial and undetermined: that the NSA has acknowledged that it does not need court authorization to listen to domestic phone calls, a claim sourced to Representative Jerrold Nadler, which Nadler based on a classified briefing he and other congressmen received, but which it has since been established Nadler probably just misunderstood.The bottom line is that theres an attitude out there that anything bad anyone says about the NSA must be a priori true, and that anything bad anyone says about the NSA must have already been said by Glenn Greenwald, and that anyone who questions Greenwald about anything must be questioning Greenwald about everything, and thus thinks the NSA (and its boss Barack Obama) is swell.And where might someone get that idea? By thinking like Greenwald, actually.As I noted on Friday, Greenwald writes in On PRISM, Partisanship, and Propaganda, Rick Perlstein falsely accuses me of not having addressed the questions about the PRISM story; but I didnt accuse him of not having addressed the questions but instead a single questionwhether Internet companies give the National Security Agency direct access to all their data as opposed to carefully controlled access to a very limited amount of dataa question he still did not address, including in the interview he linked to in order to claim he had addressed it at least half-a-dozen times.He also wrote this: I know that many Democrats want to cling to the belief that, in Perlsteins words, the powers that be will find it very easy to seize on this one error to discredit [my] NSA revelation, even the ones he nailed dead to rights. Perlstein cleverly writes that such distraction campaigns are how power does its dirtiest work as he promotes exactly that campaign. But that wont happen. The documents and revelations are too powerful.Hes right, and hes wrong. So far Greenwald has been lucky, and because he has been lucky, everyone who cares about fixing our puke-worthy system of oversight of the American states out-of-control spy regime has been lucky too. Yes, clowns like Peter King and irrelevant throwbacks like **CENSORED** Cheney cry treason and call for death squads or tumbrels or whatever. But the bottom line is that for whatever reason (reasons I think will only become clear in the light of later history), the American establishment seems ready to think about this storyready to give a hard look at what our surveillance state has become. The evidence is there in thoughtful and detailed reporting and analysis on how PRISM might actually work, for instance in this Associated Press piece (which is far more usefully critical than the typical piece on the Bush administrations lies about Iraqs claimed weapons of mass destruction in 2003, which the American establishment was not ready to think about), and this analysis by technologist Ashkan Soltaniboth of which sort through the available evidence far better than Glenn Greenwald does, but also would not exist without what Greenwald and Edward Snowden courageously did, however flawed Greenwald and Snowden might be as messengers. Life can be complicated that way.But about the the flaws of those messengers: what I wrote, about how established power deals with revelations its not ready to confront, is not that clever at all. Its just a banal observation. Greenwald seems to believe that preserving his credibility to keep on doing this work is not something he needs to actively worry aboutthe documents and revelations are too powerful. Bull**CENSORED**. I wish I had the certainty of Glenn Greenwaldabout lots of things. But I dontconstitutionally so. What I do have, a bit, is some historical perspective. And given that perspective, I would love to know why Glenn Greenwald thinks the establishment cannot do to him, a relative flyspeck in the grand scheme of things, what they did to Dan Rather, a towering giant of Washington reporting going back to Watergate. Which is: consign him to the outer darkness, where the only people who care about what he has to say are the likes of my good friends @therealpriceman and @runtodaylight.If thats good enough for Glenn, well, then, fine. Me, Id rather not see him discredit himself. And thats whats happening. Its happening even among those who want to be his supporters. As one of them wrote on Facebook, Heres the thing: I suspect Perlstein, Charles Pierce, Dave Niewert and Ito mention the commenters here Ive actually metcould have a spirited exchange about these issues, maybe even change each others minds somewhat. That cant happen with Greenwald, whom Ive never met, because the FIRST thing he does out of the box is accuse anybody who disagrees with him of bad faith. That not only makes him a poor advocate, it weakens ones trust in his reporting.Hes losing friends. Soon, his friends, and his luck, may run out.http://www.thenation.com/blog/174860/glenn-greenwald-and-his-fans#ixzz2WiPWsaqH
Of all the liberal & progressive websites that I've looked at and (more importantly) the progressives I have spoken with, you are only one of very few that's even attempting to rationalize this.
Chomsky: Obama is dedicated to increasing terrorismIn a wide-ranging interview with GRITtv host Laura Flanders, MIT professor and author Noam Chomsky plainly stated that President Barack Obamas administration is dedicated to increasing terrorism all around the world.In his view, the NSA spying scandal clearly illustrates how subservient to corporate and state power the American media has become. There would be headlines saying this is a bad joke if the press wanted to be truly independent, Chomsky told Flanders.The Obama administration is dedicated to increasing terrorism, he went on. In fact, its doing it all over the world. Obama, first of all, is running the biggest terrorist operation that exists, maybe in history. The drone assassination campaigns, which are just part of it
All of these operations, they are terror operations.Chomsky continued: People have a reaction, they dont say, Fine, I dont care if my cousin was murdered. And they become what we call terrorists. This is completely understood from the highest level, that as you carry out these operations youre generating terrorism.Sometimes its almost surreal, he lamented, recalling the congressional testimony of a man from Yemen who claimed a single drone strike turned his whole village against the U.S. something the extremist Muslims in his region had failed to do.People hate the country thats just terrorizing them, thats not a surprise, Chomsky added. Just consider the way we react to acts of terror. Thats the way other people react to acts of terror. He went on to say the Obama administration risked a nuclear war to kill al-Qaeda financier Osama bin Laden by sending special forces troops into a sovereign nation.He concluded that the ongoing polio vaccination campaign in Pakistan was ultimately discredited by the Central Intelligence Agency, which used fake vaccinations to get access to the bin Laden compound. Chomsky said that operation gave weight to the fear many Pakistanis have of letting strangers inject their children with an unknown substance even though that substance could be used to finally eradicate polio from one of its last havens on the planet.By now the charges are credible, that these rich white guys are just trying to gather intelligence and undermine you, and maybe send more drones to attack you, he said. It was so severe that the U.N. had to pull out its vaccination team
[One] epidemiologist
estimated that it may lead to 100,000 polio cases in Pakistan.---------------So there you go, CBW, first, Plame then Chomsky. No doubt you share some cross over political stripe with at least one of them. Apparently they can see what's going on. You however seem to be fighting a partisan battle that few of your similar minded colleagues want anything to do with. Makes me wonder; are you fighting for the mere sake of fighting, completely out of step w/ most others or just have your head so far up the ass of some corporate tribe, at the expense of personal liberty, that your unwilling to see the forest for the trees.
You have to be a real jackazz to even remotely defend this. This is the one that people will remember. The myriad of bare-faced lies and bewildering nonsense from the past six years has fractured the perception of government with the American people. The comments from Sanchez are powerful. This clearly cements the fact that the 21st century has been nothing but a power grab and to think that this rabbit hole has a bottom is ludicrous. The jiffy-pop tyranny has not been elusive. People have just been sleepwalking. I just hope that in say 2030, the people laugh at how gullible we were. Common sense will triumph over servitude.

Sounds real noble, but I fear you vastly overestimate the average voter. Many of them can be bought for as little as a disposable phone. Figure out how you can bribe one section of voters with money appropriated from a smaller section of voters and the madness can continue unabated. That's the problem with democracy, the people allowed to vote end up with the government they deserve.

The injury to Brad Davis was supposed to be the end of the Houston Dynamo's biggest advantage over Sporting Kansas City, set pieces. Apparently, someone forgot to tell the Dynamo that because they've just gone in front of Sporting Kansas City on a free kick thanks to a finish by Andre Hainault. Now they hold a 1-0 lead in the 53rd minute and if they can hold on, will move onto the MLS Cup final.
Because Davis was out, Adam Moffatt took the free kick and he hit a good one. It went all the way to the back post where Jermaine Taylor was waiting to head it on frame. Tally Hall made the save on Taylor's attempt, but the rebound fell right in front of the net where Hainault was waiting to knock home the go-ahead goal. If the Dynamo can hold on now, it will be the game-winning goal and the one that sends them to MLS Cup.

It's as much a Boston icon as the Olde Town team; the finish line of the Boston Marathon a symbol of redemption for not only the team, but it's faithful followers.
Jonny Gomes and Jarrod Saltalamacchia, with the Commissioner's Trophy in tow, placed it on the spot where terrorists struck in April; showing that a city was shaken, but is still strong.
Red Sox outfielder Jonny Gomes described the experience "the World Series duck boat parade stopped. I don't know how many things it has stopped for, but that was on purpose and I was glad to be a part of it."
An impromptu performance of God Bless America echoed through downtown Boston, with the thousands of fans singing their hearts out remembering those affected by the bombings.
Gomes and Saltalamacchia congratulated by marathon officials on hand, and posing for photos as they stood strong on a spot that will never weaken.

Buying a Home
Buying a home is one of your biggest investments and an exciting time in your life. But in all the excitement, it's important to cover all your bases before you sign on the dotted line.
- When you decide to buy a home, the first step you normally take is to check your credit report and clean it up if needed. You can order a free copy of your report at www.annualcreditreport.com .
- The next step is typically to get pre-approved for a loan. Use our calculator to determine how much you can afford when buying a home .
- Next, you can work with a real estate agent or search on your own to locate that perfect home.
- Once you've made the decision to buy and secured your loan, you'll need to take steps to ensure that your new home and possessions are adequately protected.
Insurance Considerations
Our insurance solutions can help you protect the things that are most important.
- Homeowners Insurance
It's important to buy quality coverage for your home from a company you can trust to provide you with the protection that meets your individual needs – a company like COUNTRY Financial®. A COUNTRY representative can answer all of your home insurance questions, and our policies provide quality protection at an affordable price.
- Umbrella Insurance
Do you have enough liability protection if you're involved in a large lawsuit? You may want to consider purchasing personal umbrella liability coverage on top of what your homeowners insurance provides.
- Life Insurance to Protect Your Mortgage
If something happens to you or your spouse, will your surviving spouse still be able to pay the mortgage? A term life insurance policy can provide the greatest amount of protection at the lowest cost.
- Disability Income Insurance
If you became disabled and couldn't work, your mortgage payments wouldn't stop. That's why it's important to be properly protected so you can still pay your bills if you're disabled.
Financial Considerations
Your home will probably be one of the biggest investments you'll make, but there are financial considerations, too, as you invest for your family's financial security tomorrow.
- Make It Better
It's not unusual to want to make improvements to your home or find that you need to purchase big-ticket items to put in your home. Investing for those future needs can be easy to do with a variety of investments available through COUNTRY. From mutual funds to professionally managed accounts, COUNTRY can help turn your home into your castle.
- Great Savings Tool
Buying a home is generally a good investment because the more you put into your home, the more equity you build over many years. So when you sell it, the equity you've earned can be used for the down payment on your next home or to fund a retirement plan.
Putting It All Together
The many aspects of home ownership are just a part of your overall financial security. You can put all the pieces together with a tangible plan from COUNTRY. One that helps you balance your need to protect what you have with your desire to build for the future. Find out more by contacting a local COUNTRY Financial representative.

Whitman's Michaels Named to D3hoops.com Team of Week; NWC Bestows Third Weekly Award on Senior Forward
News Release Date:
Tuesday, January 31, 2012
WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- David Michaels, a 6-foot-7 senior forward on the Whitman College men's basketball team, has been named to the national Team of the Week as chosen by the D3hoops.com website.
Michaels was one of five NCAA Division III players from around the country honored Monday for performances through games of last Saturday.
Then, on Tuesday, Michaels pocketed his second straight Northwest Conference Student Athlete of the Week award. That also marked the third time this season that he earned the weekly NWC honor for men's basketball.
|Whitman's David Michaels
The latest honors for Michaels come in the wake of two eye-popping Northwest Conference games last weekend in western Oregon.
After matching his career high with 31 points Friday night at Lewis & Clark, he erupted for 40 points to carry Whitman past George Fox in what was a Saturday battle for a share of second place in the NWC standings.
With Whitman trailing by a point early in the second half at George Fox, Michaels scored his team's next 22 points over a nine-minute span to spark the Missionaries to a 20-point win. He made all eight of his shots from the floor -- connecting four times from the 3-point arc -- and canned a pair of free throws during his one-man outburst.
For the night, Michaels was 14 of 17 from the floor (four of five from 3-point) and eight of nine from the free throw line. His only misses from the 3-point stripe and free throw line came during the final 90 seconds, when the game's outcome was already decided.
Michaels also picked off a career-high seven steals, handed out two assists and blocked a shot.
Against Lewis & Clark, Michaels hit nine of 13 shots from floor and went 13 of 15 from the free throw line in scoring his 31 points. He also had seven rebounds and two assists, along with one steal and one blocked shot.
The Team of the Week, presented by Scoutware, is D3hoops.com's weekly honor roll, in its 15th season of recognizing the top performance at each of the five positions from the previous week.
Michaels is the first Whitman player to be chosen for weekly award.
Others joining Michaels on this week's honor roll are Ray Askew, a senior forward at Albertus Magnus; Mike Akinrola, a senior center at Rhode Island College; Dylan Richter, a senior guard at Washington University (St. Louis); and Matt Johnson, a senior guard at the University of Chicago.
|Drew Raher
After missing two NWC games early this month due to injury, Michaels has averaged 28.2 points and 5.5 rebounds in his last four four games, counting last weekend's two tilts. He shot 75.6 percent from the floor, 66.7 percent from the 3-point line and 86 percent from the free throw line in those four games.
In conference games only this winter, Michaels is averaging an NWC-best 22.2 points per game (18.9 ppg for the season as a whole).
In his eight NWC games, Michaels is shooting 59.6 from the floor and 58.8 percent (10-17) from the 3-point stripe. Only teammate Drew Raher, a junior forward, is shooting a higher percentage (13-22, 59.1 percent) from long distance in conference games.
Michaels also ranks second in NWC games in free throw shooting, having made 56 of 68 attempts (82.4 percent).
For the entire season, Michaels is shooting 56 percent from the floor, 44.2 percent from 3-point, and 80.6 percent from the free throw line.
Whitman takes records of 7-3 in the NWC and 14-5 overall into a pair of critical NWC home games on Friday and Saturday.
Whitman is tied for second place in the NWC standings with the two teams that come to Walla Walla this weekend. Pacific Lutheran comes to Sherwood Center on Friday with Puget Sound to follow on Saturday.
Both games start at 8 p.m. and are part of NWC doubleheaders. Women's teams for the same schools play at 6 p.m. Friday and 5 p.m. on Saturday.

We know that many talented musicians from rock to country have roots here on the South Plains. But what about those musicians who have spent years studying classical music? On Tuesday, two Lubbock musicians will soon earn nationwide attention as they perform on a nationally syndicated radio show.
She plays with Prokofieff. He plays with Burton. For nearly a decade, her fingers have danced across the piano keys. "When I was only four," Pianist Grace Cheon said.
At the same time, his wind power has been blowing music lovers away for almost seven years. "Sixth grade. I actually started in school but fifth grade I started taking lessons," Flutist Tristan Plaut said.
Two different instruments, that will soon share center stage airing their talents on more than 200 National Public Radio stations. Both are among the best young classic musicians to be showcased on the syndicated radio show From The Top.
"I sent my application and when I got it back, I showed my mom and dad and they were like, 'oh my gosh, you got in'," Cheon said.
Just 13-years-old, O.L. Slaton Middle School student Grace Cheon started her piano career when she was in pre-kindergarten and became a master of the basics. "I remember in the very beginning we had a techno piano, so it wasn't a like a piano and then later on we had a parallel piano," Cheon said.
However, about a year and half ago Grace took on a different sound, first with a new teacher and then with a new tool. "(It was) a grand piano Steinway. So when I came home I was like who, where'd you get that," Cheon said.
Grace says she spends between four to six hours a day in front of that Steinway. However, on this day she's in front of Texas Tech graduate and undergraduate music students to practice her From The Top music piece.
Meanwhile, Tristan Plaut continues to train both his fingers and lungs. "When I get nervous my mouth dries out. So I need to work on that," Tristan said.
"This is the finest music in the world. Any professional flute player it would be a challenge for them to play, Frenship Band Director Tom Sorelle said.
A senior at Frenship High School, Tristan picked up flute after his brother stated playing the trumpet. "He played the trumpet I guess two years before I started, and I guess that got me interested in music," Tristan said.
However, sounds like this don't come without effort. Tristan practices at least an hour and a half a day and had played both school and for a private teacher. "I like to be the best at whatever I do. And so I work really hard to try to be good at stuff," Plaut said.
To get to center stage, Tristan and Grace have dedicated years and countless hours to music. However, away from their instruments, both are equally as talented.
"I got to school until 3 p.m. Then I golf in the afternoon anywhere from three to six hours and then come home and do homework," Tristan said.
"I'm in tennis, NJHS National Junior Honor Society and I'm in student council," Grace said.
But come Tuesday evening, as Grace presses on the ivory keys and Tristan gives this flute a voice, these everyday students will take on role of accomplished classical musicians who, arguably, are some of the best in the country.
The live taping of From The Top begins Tuesday night at 7 p.m. in the Allen Theatre on the Texas Tech campus. Grace and Tristan are two of the five performers expected to air on public radio stations nationwide in mid December.

The start is the same as for the first two pitches of Procrastination. Likely, there are several variations of the start, but once you gain the OW crack the route is pretty straight forward.
From second pitch of Procrastination, veer slightly left into the first dihedral. The off-width fun will become apparent quickly.
#5 Camalot and purple and green Big Bros are nice. Bring some big gear for sure and rack small wires, a set of TCUs as well. 8-10 slings, 5 QDs, 70m rope is nice...or two 50m ropes. You will leave gear if you have to bail - high commitment grade - check the weather before you go.

Like most of you, I didn't expect much from Martell Webster when the team inked him last summer. Most of what I knew about Webster entailed his streaky shooting, injury history, and turrible haircuts. So I was pleasantly surprised that the team was able to find a diamond on the scrap heap, when Webbie became a huge contributor to the team's success. Who will be 2013-14's Martell Webster? Let's look at the candidates, shall we?
Eric Maynor - In a best case scenario Maynor only plays 12-15 minutes a night. But should John Wall find himself in street clothes (yet!) again, we may finally get to see if Maynor's a career backup or a guy with lead guard potential. He can't possibly be worse than AJ Price, but how much better he is remains to be seen. The answer may be the difference between a playoff spot and a ticket in the Andrew Wiggins Sweepstakes.
Jan Vesely - There's really no logical reason to believe Ves can pull it all together and become a rotation player, but who knows? Our reserve frontcourt is thin, and his confidence has to be at an all time high after a favorable (albeit hardly perfect) showing in the Summer League. Can Ves translate this success into a productive 10-15mpg off the bench and treat the ball as anything other than a hot potato? With his NBA career potentially on the line during preseason, I'm hoping that faceup J he showed in July isn't an aberration.
Glen Rice Jr. - I wasn't impressed much by Glen Rice while he was at Georgia Tech, so I found myself pleasantly surprised by his time in the D-League and his Summer League performance. That said, I'm not sure what his role is going forward. Can he bring intensity on the defensive end and beat out Garrett Temple for backup SG minutes? If so, I think this guy has JR Smith potential on the offensive end, with a lot of 20 point games in his future.
Mysterious Training Camp Invite - Every year, some guy who wasn't expected to make a team finds himself on the opening day roster, and a surprise contributor during the season. Guys like Alan Anderson, Chris Copeland, P.J. Tucker, and Brian Roberts all were solid rotation players last season. Can Ernie find our elusive "Stretch 4" off the street? We'll see.
Forward Flotsam - As for the other guys, I'd love to be pleasantly surprised, but I think they are who they are. Chris Singleton has the look of a guy headed to Europe. Trevor Booker has the look of a guy headed to China. Kevin Seraphin has the look of a guy headed to Old Country Buffet (I kid. Him playing well wouldn't be a surprise. The opposite would). We'll see if any of them sticks after this season. BTW, how cool a word is "flotsam"?!?

News: Chris Brown Calls Bloody Rihanna Attack "The Biggest Wake-Up Call"
Sunday, Oct 6, 2013 12:39PM
R&B singer Chris Brown recently discussed the life lessons he has learned from his now-infamous attack on ex-girlfriend Rihanna back in 2009.
In Chris Breezy's opinion, the aftermath of hurting someone he loved forced him to become an adult.
Brown also spoke of his 2009 arrest for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna, calling it "probably the biggest wake-up call for me." "I learned from it, and it was almost like... I wouldn't say it happened for a reason, but it was something to trigger my mind to be more of a mature adult. To handle myself in situations, don't throw tantrums, don't be a baby about it," Brown said. Brown also opened up about his fears the paparazzi could falsely accuse him of a crime, and his ambitions to not just be rich, but to be wealthy: " There's a difference, you know? I'm rich, but I'm not in the $200m mark." (Billboard)
In a recent Jet interview, Brown spoke on his assault case and why he always gets hammered for it by the media.
"No disrespect, because I'm a fan, but nobody brings up the fact that (Jay Z) stabbed somebody and sold drugs. He gets a pass." Brown addresses his own anger-management problem: "You have to go through the struggle before you can get to the good part. I don't try to lash out at people, or be as mad or impulsive as I used to be." "I got to the point where it's only so much you can take from the master, you feel me? I've taken my fair share of lashings." The controversial star also aligns himself Trayvon Martin: "I identify with Trayvon 100% as far as living in 2013 and still dealing with blatant racism. This generation is so used to racism that it's normal; we don't care. We aren't on drugs or catching AIDS, but they still look at us as (n-word)." (USA Today)
In August, Breezy hinted at stepping away from the music scene in light of being judged for his now-infamous attack on RiRi.
"Don't worry mainstream America.After this X album, it'll probably be my last album.," he tweeted August 6.
"Being famous is amazing when it's for ur music and talent. I'm tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I'm cool & over it!" (Chris Brown's Twitter)
According to mid-summer reports, Chris Breezy's addition to a Canada music event immediately made a company remove itself from being involved.
A concert event in Canada scheduled to go down next month finds itself down one sponsor after they decided to pull out of the event once Chris Brown was added to the lineup. A spokesman for Rogers Communications confirmed on Twitter last night the company was pulling its name from the show, which is scheduled to go down August 31 in Halifax. Responding to several complaints on Twitter, the spokesman wrote, "In light of today's announcement, we're withdrawing our sponsorship of the event." He continued, "Rogers agreed to sponsor Energy Rush prior to Chris Brown's choice as a performer." No way to mistake their meaning ... they want NO PART of anything involving CB. (TMZ)

Florence Police are hoping to track down several items that may have been stolen during a recent cemetery burglary.
The items were found by police during their investigation into a recent theft at the Tri-Cities Memorial Gardens. One woman was taken into custody for the crime.
Police are not sure if these items were stolen from the cemetery or not, so they are asking for the public's help in identifying them.
They posted 67 photos of potentially stolen items on their Facebook page.

in one of the few UFC on Fox 8 fights that hasn't been damaged by the injury bug, Welterweights Rory MacDonald and Jake Ellenberger will meet in the night's co-main event. MacDonald is coming off an incredibly dominant unanimous decision over former 170 lb. champion B.J. Penn at UFC On Fox 5. "Ares" beat "The Prodigy" from pillar to post for 15 minutes before getting his hand raised by referee Herb Dean.
Multiple times in their fight, Rory had Penn visibly wincing as he failed to defend himself against devastating body shots. MacDonald didn't get the finish and he told MMA Junkie that Penn's pre-fight trash talk may have had something to do with that:
The B.J. fight, I was having fun just beating on him. He was talking a little bit of trash, so I figured I might just hurt him a little bit more.
Considering Ellenberger's twitter attacks aimed at his upcoming opponent, it looks like he may get the same treatment if he's not able to get the upper hand on Rory Mac:
Sometimes you train so hard and for so long and you only get 15 minutes max of game day for a few times a year," MacDonald said. "So sometimes it's nice to spend a little time in there and get hit once or twice or hit him a little more. Sometimes it's just a little more fun. Sometimes, you just want to hurt someone and devastate their lives fast. But I only react to how I'm feeling that night.
Ellenberger is coming off a first round KO win over former Middleweight contender Nate Marquardt at UFC 158. He sports a UFC record of 8-2 (29-6 overall) with his only losses coming to Martin Kampmann and former Interim champ Carlos Condit. The win over Penn put MacDonald on a 4-fight win streak with his only loss in 6 fights coming against Condit, as well.
The two top-10 Welterweights will meet on July 27 at the Keyarena in Seattle, WA. In the main event, UFC On Fox 8 will feature a Flyweight title fight between champion Demetrious Johnson and John Moraga.
