The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is a 1994 Australian comedy-drama film written and directed by Stephan Elliott. The plot follows the journey of two drag queens and a transsexual woman, played by Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, and Terence Stamp, across the Australian Outback from Sydney to Alice Springs in a tour bus that they have named "Priscilla", along the way encountering various groups and individuals. The film's title is a pun on the fact that in English speaking cultures, "queen" is a slang term for a male homosexual.[2]
The film was instrumental in bringing Australian cinema to world attention[3] and for its positive portrayal of LGBT individuals, helping to introduce LGBT themes to a mainstream audience.[citation needed] The film has also been criticized for perceived racist and sexist stereotyping.[citation needed]
The film received predominantly positive reviews and won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design at the 67th Academy Awards. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section of the 1994 Cannes Film Festival[4] and became a cult classic in both Australia and abroad. Priscilla subsequently provided the basis for a musical, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, which opened in 2006 in Sydney before travelling to New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada, and New York City's Broadway.

Anthony "Tick" Belrose, using the drag pseudonym of Mitzi Del Bra, is a Sydney-based drag queen who accepts an offer to perform his drag act at Lasseter's Hotel Casino Resort managed by a female friend named Marion in Alice Springs, a remote town in central Australia. After persuading his friends and fellow performers, Bernadette Bassinger, a recently bereaved transsexual woman, and Adam Whitely, a flamboyant and obnoxious younger drag queen who goes under the drag name Felicia Jollygoodfellow, to join him, the three set out in a large tour bus, which Adam christens "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" for a four-week run in the Australian Outback town.
While on the long journey through remote lands bordering the Simpson Desert, they meet a variety of characters, including a group of friendly Australian Aborigines for whom they perform, and the less accepting attitudes of rural Australia in such towns as Coober Pedy, and are subjected to homophobic abuse and even violence, including having their tour bus vandalized with the words "AIDS fuckers go home".
When the tour bus breaks down in the middle of the desert, Adam spends the whole day repainting it pink to cover up the vandalism. Later, the trio meet Bob, a middle-aged mechanic from a small outback town who joins them on their journey. Before they arrive at Alice Springs, Tick reveals that Marion is actually his wife, as they never divorced, and that they are, in fact, going there as a favour to her. Continuing their journey, Adam is almost mutilated by a homophobic gang before he is saved by Bob and Bernadette. Adam is shaken and Bernadette comforts him, allowing them to reach an understanding. Likewise, the others come to terms with the secret of Tick's marriage and resolve their differences. Together, they fulfill a long-held dream of Adam's, which, in the original plan, is to climb Uluru in full drag regalia ("A cock in a frock on a rock"), although the location was changed to King's Canyon in the film (see below).
Upon arrival at the hotel, it is revealed that Tick and Marion also have an eight-year-old son, Benjamin, whom Tick has not seen for many years. Tick is nervous about exposing his son to his drag profession and anxious about revealing his homosexuality, though he is surprised to discover that Benjamin already knows and is fully supportive of his father's sexuality and career. By the time their four-week stint at the resort is over, Tick and Adam head back to Sydney, taking Benjamin back with them, so that Tick can get to know his son and Marion can have a long-earned break. However, Bernadette decides to remain at the resort for a while with Bob, who has decided to work at the hotel after the two of them had become close.

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert had originally been conceived by filmmakers Stephan Elliott and Andrena Finlay who were at the time in production of a film called Frauds. They initially tried to pitch Priscilla to various financiers at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival, but were unsuccessful,[5] and so instead took the film's concept to PolyGram and, with the backing of the Australian Film Finance Corporation, were able to begin production of the film on a relatively low budget of 2.7 million Australian dollars.
Elliott and the film's producers, Michael Hamlyn and Al Clark, the latter of whom was the husband of Finlay, all agreed to work for $50,000 each, a relatively low fee for filmmakers at the time, while the lack of funding meant that the crew agreed to receive takings of the film's eventual profits in compensation for their low salaries.[6] Due to the involvement of the Australian FFC, only one non-Australian actor was allowed to appear in the film, and Clark initially considered David Bowie, whom he had known back in the 1980s, and later briefly thought of John Hurt, although neither were available.[7]
In May 1993, after travelling around the Australian Outback searching for appropriate sites to film in, Priscilla 's creators attended the Cannes to advertise their project, despite the fact that they had not yet confirmed any actors for the roles. Their primary choice for the role of Bernadette was Tony Curtis, who read and approved of the script, but eventually became unavailable. They then approached John Cleese, who was not interested.
For the part of Tick, they had initially wanted Rupert Everett and for Adam they wanted Jason Donovan.[8] However, at a pre-production casting meeting held at Cannes, Everett and Donovan did not get on well with one another and were found to be openly hostile toward the production staff. In light of this, it was readily agreed that they would not be suitable for the parts[9] and the search for their three leading men would resume. However, Donovan would go on to play Tick in the West End musical adaptation of the film to great acclaim.
After unsuccessfully lobbying Colin Firth to play the role, producers eventually awarded the part to Hugo Weaving. Initially considering Tim Curry for the part of Bernadette, they cast Terence Stamp, who was initially anxious about the role because it was unlike anything that he had performed previously, although he eventually came on board with the concept.[10] Stamp himself suggested Bill Hunter for the role of Bob, who accepted the role without even reading the script or being told anything about the greater concept of the film other than the basic character description, while Australian soap-opera star Guy Pearce was hired at the eleventh hour direct from the Australian soap opera Neighbours to portray the sassy but sprite Adam.[11]
It is striking what an effect the disguise of drag is having on [the actors'] personalities. It makes Guy [Pearce] flirtatious, combative and loud. It makes Terence [Stamp] withdrawn and watchful ("Hello sailor," he greets me warily with his back to the wall, looking like a fallen woman in a '50s melodrama.) It makes Hugo extraordinarily trashy.
Many scenes, including one where Bernadette encounters a butch, bigoted, Australian woman named Shirley, were filmed at the Outback town of Broken Hill in New South Wales, largely in a hotel known as Mario's Palace, which Al Clark believed was "drag queen heaven".[13] They also decided to film at Coober Pedy, a rough-and-tumble mining town in Central Australia featured prominently in the film.[14]
Initially, they tried to get permission to film upon the geological formation formerly known as Ayers Rock or "the Rock" (Uluru), but this was rejected by organizations responsible for the monument, such as the Uluru Board of Management, as it would have been in violation of Indigenous Australian religious beliefs.[15] Instead, the scene was filmed in King's Canyon.[16] Dialogue from the scene was rewritten slightly to accommodate the new location.
With filming over, the director and producers began editing the footage, repeatedly travelling to both London and to Los Angeles, which had then just been hit by the 1994 Northridge earthquake. On the advice of early viewers, the film was shortened and scenes such as Adam's flashback about his paedophilic uncle were edited down.[17]
Box office[edit]
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert took $18,459,245 at the box office in Australia,[18] which is equivalent to $24,888,888 in 2009 dollars.
Being an Australian film, not an American-produced Hollywood blockbuster, The Adventures of Priscilla was released as a minor commercial product in North America and other English-speaking nations.[19]
Director Elliott noted that the audiences viewing the film in Australia, the United States, and France all reacted to it differently, going on to state that "At a screening we had for an Australian audience, they laughed at all the Aussieisms. The Americans laughed too, but at different jokes. There is a line where Tick says, 'Bernadette has left her cake out in the rain...' [The French audience] didn't get it, whereas the Americans laughed for ten minutes."[20] Tom O'Regan, a scholar of film studies, remarked that the film actually carried different meanings for members of different nationalities and subcultural groups, with LGBT Americans believing that the film was "the big one that will bring gay lifestyles into the mainstream", while Australians tended to "embrace it as just another successful Australian film".[21]
Critical reaction[edit]
On the film review website, Rotten Tomatoes, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert has a 93% fresh rating based on 30 reviews, indicating very positive reviews; the consensus states: "While its premise is ripe for comedy -- and it certainly delivers its fair share of laughs -- Priscilla is also a surprisingly tender and thoughtful road movie with some outstanding performances."[22] American film critic Roger Ebert felt that Bernadette was the key part of the film, stating that "the real subject of the movie is not homosexuality, not drag queens, not showbiz, but simply the life of a middle-aged person trapped in a job that has become tiresome."[23]
In 1995, the film won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design at the 67th Academy Awards, and was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Picture – Comedy or Musical. Meanwhile, for his role as Bernadette, Terence Stamp won the Seattle International Film Festival Award for Best Actor. He was nominated also for the 1994 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy (but lost out to Hugh Grant for his role in Four Weddings and a Funeral), as well as the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, (where he again lost out to Grant), and the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, where he instead lost to Nicholas Hope.
The film was ranked at #7 on Logo's 50 Greatest Films with an LGBT theme,[24] and #10 on AfterElton's Fifty Greatest Gay Movies list.[25]
Cultural impact[edit]
The Adventures of Priscilla, along with other contemporary Australian films Young Einstein (1988), Sweetie (1989), Strictly Ballroom (1992), and Muriel's Wedding (1994), provided Australian cinema with a reputation for "quirkiness", "eccentricity" and "individuality" across the world.[3] Both Priscilla and Muriel's Wedding (which had also featured a soundtrack containing ABBA songs) in particular became cult classics, not only in their native Australia, but also in the United Kingdom, where a wave of Australian influences, such as the soap operas Neighbours and Home and Away, had made their mark in the late 1980s and early 1990s.[26]
In 1995, an American film, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, was released, featuring three drag queens who travel across the United States. According to Al Clark, the creators of Priscilla heard about the film while shooting theirs, and "for a moment [were] troubled" until they read the script of To Wong Foo, when they decided that it was sufficiently different from Priscilla to not be a commercial and critical threat.[27] To Wong Foo proved to be critically far less successful than Priscilla, only gaining a 41% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes.[28] Financially however, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar did better at the box office making 3 times as much in the U.S. with over 36 million dollars. [29]
During the Closing Ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Priscilla was part of a parade of images of Australian popular culture. A refurbished and decorated 1980 Ford Denning (resembling bus used in the film) featuring a giant steel stiletto heel which extended from and retracted into the roof—inspired by some of the scenes from the film—was paraded around the Olympic Stadium. The bus was also accompanied by several stiletto heels tricycle floats and drag queens donning big wigs as a tribute to the film's international success and the local Sydney gay community.[30][31]
Racism and sexism controversy[edit]
The film has come under criticism for alleged racist and sexist elements, particularly in the portrayal of the Filipina character, Cynthia. Melba Margison of the Centre for Filipino Concerns stated that Cynthia was portrayed as "a gold-digger, a prostitute, an entertainer whose expertise is popping out ping-pong balls from her sex-organ, a manic depressive, loud and vulgar. The worst stereotype of the Filipina." She argued that, by portraying Cynthia in this manner, the filmmakers were "violently kill[ing]" the dignity of Filipina women, something that she feared would lead to "more violence against us".[32] An editor writing in The Age echoed these concerns, highlighting that "It is perhaps a pity that a film with a message of tolerance and acceptance for homosexuals should feel the need of what looks very much to us like a racist and sexist stereotype."[32] Similarly, in his study of bisexuality in cinema, Wayne M. Bryant argued that while it was "an excellent film", The Adventures of Priscilla was marred by "instances of gratuitous sexism".[33]
Producer Clark defended the film against these accusations, arguing that while Cynthia was a stereotype, it was not the purpose of film makers to avoid the portrayal of "vulnerable characters" from specific minority backgrounds. He stated that she was "a misfit like the three protagonists are, and just about everybody else in the film is, and her presence is no more a statement about Filipino women than having three drag queens is a statement about Australian men."[32] Tom O'Regan[who?] noted that as a result of this controversy, the film gained "an ambiguous reputation."[34]
In popular culture[edit]
An episode of The Drew Carey Show, "New York and Queens", features Drew and his friends dressed for a Rocky Horror performance while Mimi and her friends arrive in Priscilla garb, igniting a dance-off between "Time Warp" and "Shake Your Groove Thing".
Originally, this scenario happened in real life at the twin-screen drive-in theatre near Geauga Lake Amusement Park, Ohio in the summer of 1995. Instead of Priscilla replacing Rocky Horror, it was merely the next film to be booked on the screen facing the other half of the park after attendance had fallen off, while Rocky Horror was still drawing in crowds. On opening night, far from having a dance-and-sing-off, the crowds for both films was so rowdy toward one another that drive-in operators had to turn the exits on opposite sides of the park into the entrances to avoid any further mayhem.[citation needed]
The film featured a soundtrack made up of pre-existing "camp classics" (pop music songs that have a particular fanbase in the LGBT community). The original plan by the film's creators was to have a Kylie Minogue song in the finale, although it was later decided that an ABBA song would be more appropriate because its "tacky qualities" were "more timeless".[35] The film itself featured four main songs, which were performed by two or more of the drag queens as a part of their show within the film; "I've Never Been to Me" by Charlene, "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor, "Finally" by CeCe Peniston, and "Mamma Mia" by ABBA.
On 23 August 1994, Fontana Island released the soundtrack on CD.

Stage adaptation[edit]
The film was adapted into a stage musical, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and premiered 10 October 2006 at the Star City Casino, Sydney. The opening cast was as follows:
- Bernadette Bassenger – Tony Sheldon
- Anthony "Tick" Belrose / Mitzi Mitosis – Jeremy Stanford
- Adam Whitely / Felicia Jollygoodfellow – Daniel Scott
- Bob – Michael Caton
The stage show features live performances of the songs featured in the film including "I Love the Nightlife", "I Will Survive", "Finally", "I've Never Been to Me", "Shake Your Groove Thing", and "Go West", as well as some new additions, such as "Confide in Me", "Downtown", "What's Love Got to Do with It?", "Hot Stuff" and "MacArthur Park".
The beauty of the outback appears on stage with over 20 full-scale production numbers and the famous battered bus itself 'Priscilla', which is on a revolving stage. The costumes of Bernadette, Mitzi, Felicia, and the entire cast were re-imagined by Academy Award-winning duo Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner.
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is produced by Back Row Productions, a UK-based company owned by Australians Liz Koops and Garry McQuinn, best known for Dein Perry's Tap Dogs; two-time Tony Award-winning impresario John Frost, Michael Hamlyn of Specific Films, an original producer of the film; and acclaimed screenwriter and playwright Allan Scott, well known for the Julie Christie/Donald Sutherland psychological thriller Don't Look Now. It is directed by New Zealander Simon Phillips.
The show ran in Sydney, Melbourne, and New Zealand between 2006 and 2008, and moved to London in 2009, opening in the West End on 24 March 2009 at the Palace Theatre. Jason Donovan played the part of 'Tick' / Mitzi Mitosis. Tony Sheldon once again played Bernadette and Oliver Thornton played Felicia.[36]
An entirely new production was mounted for an open-ended Broadway run. The production began by playing 12 weeks (12 October 2010 to 2 January 2011) in Toronto at the Princess of Wales Theatre, then began Broadway previews at the Palace Theatre on 28 February 2011, with the Broadway opening on 20 March. The Broadway production closed on 24 June 2012.
Leading the cast were Will Swenson (Berger in the 2009 revival of Hair), Tony Sheldon, who has played Bernadette in the Australian and London productions, and Nick Adams (the original Angelique in the current revival of La Cage aux Folles).
Producers included Bette Midler, Liz Koops, and Garry McQuinn for Back Row Productions, Michael Hamlyn for Specific Films, Allan Scott Productions, David Mirvish, Roy Furman, Terry Allen Kramer, James L. Nederlander, and Terri and Timothy Childs. The creative team remained the same. The script was re-written to focus the show earlier and more often on the Tick/Benji story.
Several of the songs used in the London production were replaced. The Broadway song list is:

Notification is also required when mortgagees receive a judgment in a foreclosure action; sell the foreclosed property; or if a receiver is appointed.
Federal Government & Attorneys General reach landmark settlement with major banks
The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 generally allows taxpayers to exclude income from the discharge of debt on their principal residence. Debt reduced through mortgage restructuring, as well as mortgage debt forgiven in connection with a foreclosure, qualifies for the relief.
If you can prove financial need, you might be able to get a fresh start by way of a short sale of your home. A short sale is the term used when homeowners sell their home for less than they owe on the mortgage but the lender agrees not to hold the homeowner responsible for the deficiency. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) promulgated new regulations to help speed up the process.

Holy Ghost!'s LCD remix of "Drunk Girls" got a video from the Adult Swim Singles Program and director Daniel Garcia. Garcia, a Portland native, filmed some of his city's crust punks in an epic street jousting battle. Guys and girls named things like Fatty, Left Nut, Giggles, and Cheeser look graceful and gorgeous (helped by the video's slow motion and lightning). Grab the MP3 down here, too, it's one worth taking.

On February 19th, the asshole that is Sadistik will be releasing his new album, Flowers For My Father. And to warm y'all up, he's asked the dopehouse to premier the first offering from the track.
Posted in Singles | Tags: astronautalis, lotte kestner, sadistik
... this is a post about a single coming out in two months, by a rapper no one likes? dumb.
Dude, you're probably mad his intelligence passes yours. Go suck something
So what do u like? Black rappers that rhyme about bootys and strippers they fell in love wit? And we're the ones not cool? ... Okay...?
Where's the single????
Actually Sadistik is an amazing artist. And I'm anticipating this album. Flowers For My Father will be amazing. Just like The Balancing Act and The Art of Dying and Pray for Paralysis.
If you like high pitched white rappers who are depressed.
Why is there a post, with no music. Wast of space!
Depressed? He's tuned into his emotions that's an amazing thing. High pitched? You clearly have something wrong with your hearing, it's nowhere near high. I will defend Sadistik always, his insides are beautiful.
Because they obviously fucked up and didn't post the song.
And yep I love high pitched white rappers who are depressed I guess.
Amazing, indeed.
Wheres the music???? I was excited to hear this wth...
Why are you still hanging around a post of something you don't like? I don't get it
Keith needs to go suck a boner
This is fucking awesome. I can't wait for the album
hes the most talented rapper alive, you don't know what you're talking about!!
Keith? Fuck you. This track is beautiful, thank you Sadistik. Long time fan.
Absolute genius, shivers down my spine.
Speaks what's hiding in a lot of our minds
in a way that his words feel like they're mine
Empathetic, sympathetic, this fragile design...
Can't wait for this album to drop, Cody!
I've been highly anticipating the release of this.
February 19th can't come soon enough.
LOL For the people who say he can't rap because he has deep and emotional lyrics, are idiots. Yeah, I think i'll go jam to some of the ghettos finest coke snorting hood rats instead. lmfao. Sadistik actually inspires people, and not to fucking steal or rape a bitch either.
Oh man, I love that Sadistik is on 2DBZ now. This guy is crazy talented. This track is so brilliant. I seriously cannot wait for Flowers For My Father
Dope fucking shit my man Sadistik has been killing it keeps pulling out fire, never disappointed in him, ever.
"I feel like Ouroborus when I'm chewing up my tail"
damn.... This is art.
You might not like it, but the fact that some of you can't even respect it is petty.
Cage did it better.
Em did it better.
lol. Cage is a feature on this album XD
why is it that if you feel like music like this expresses a high school outcast level of emotional understanding and is boring sonically that it automatically becomes a "would u rather listen to hoodrat blax rap about coke and bitches LOL" type of thing?
@BEER Why is this automatically "EMO WHITE RAPZ ABOUT EXES AND FEELINGZ"? It works both ways -- dollars to donuts you didn't listen to the fucking song.
all the haters gonna hate , they're gonna call them emo white boys who are depressed because they are too shallow too dig it deeper inside them grow up raps more than booze bitches and drive-bys
Sadistik is light years above any 'gangsta' rapper, go listen to you Meek Mill, fuckwit.

The Gear VR Innovator Edition is a cool -- and very promising -- entry ticket for early adopters looking for an affordable taste of virtual reality.
A retired UK engineer is reportedly convinced he wasn't speeding, despite getting a ticket generated by a speed camera. So he gets on his hands and knees to prove white lines on the road are incorrectly spaced.
Anne Wojcicki, wife of Google's Sergey Brin, says that she's looked at the numbers and taking the risk of getting a ticket is worth it.
We can't believe these tiny sculptures (created by artist Jonty Hurwitz) are thinner than the width of a human hair and relatively detailed for their size. If you wanted to see them, though, you'd need to have an electron microscope handy.
On today's show, we discuss Japan's newest superconductor maglev train, AMC and Paramount's unlimited "Interstellar" ticket, and nanosculptures that can only be viewed with an electron microscope.
Can't get enough Matthew McConaughey in a spacesuit? Buy an unlimited "Interstellar" ticket and watch the movie as many times as you can stand it.

From Wildlife Management Institute
-- A new report outlining the potential impacts of climate change on North America's fish and game species has been released by a joint cooperation of nine conservation organizations.
Funded by the Bipartisan Policy Center in an effort to engage sportsmen and sportswomen in the global warming debate, "Seasons' End: Global Warming's Threat to Hunting and Fishing" summarizes the predicted impacts of climate change to North America's fresh- and salt-water fish, waterfowl, upland birds and big game.
The report incorporates data from numerous outdoor and conservation organizations and is based on accepted climate-change models identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The report is the result of a collaborative partnership between the American Sportfishing Association, Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, BASS/ESPN, Coastal Conservation Association, Ducks Unlimited, Inc., Isaac Walton League of America, Pheasants Forever, Trout Unlimited and the Wildlife Management Institute. Delta Waterfowl recently joined the partnership to aid in the outreach and dissemination of the report.
The partners also launched a website, www.seasonsend.org, designed to inform and update sportsmen and sportswomen on current and ongoing research into climate change and to provide opportunity and mechanism for registered users to exchange knowledge and opinion about global warming.
Users also can access summaries about the potential impacts of climate change to numerous fish and game species and can read the technical reports and research papers that are the foundation of the report.
"Seasons' End is a strong first step towards educating sportsmen and sportswomen on the impacts of climate change to their hunting and fishing heritage," said Steve Williams, president of the Wildlife Management Institute. "Hopefully, hunters and anglers will recognize the need to become more involved with the issues that are critical to the sustainability of fish and wildlife species in future climate change legislation and policy."
While only summaries of the 111-page report are available online, complete copies are available upon request and free of charge from the Bipartisan Policy Center at 1225 Eye Street, NW, Suite 1000, Washington, DC 20005.

Are these shoes water resistant/good for...
Clayton Rogers
Member since
Are these shoes water resistant/good for walking through deep snow?
Jen Martin
Member since
They will be better then a regular shoe however they are water resistant not water proof. Therefore they will repel water but they will not always keep you dry. If you are looking to be walking in deep snow look for some sorels or other winter boots.
My Dog's Tape
Member since
My dog did and he said these shoes were the best ones he'd ever used for trudging through the snow even though they're the only ones he's ever used for such a task. Think again before trusting someone with a name like mine.

Ousted Fla GOP Head Expresses Regret
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 09-15-2010 - 12:14pm
Indicted former Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer says he has discovered "racist views" within the GOP and is sorry he helped fuel a national firestorm last year over a speech by President Obama to America's schoolchildren.
The Florida GOP didn't respond to Greer's accusation. Palm Beach County Republican Chairman Sid Dinerstein called Greer "pathetic" and accused him of trying to damage the party and help his old friend, Republican-turned-independent Gov. Charlie Crist, in his Senate bid against GOP nominee Marco Rubio.
When the White House last year announced plans for the president to deliver a back-to-school message to students, Greer accused Obama of seeking to indoctrinate the nation's youth in "socialist ideology."
Since then, Greer has been ousted from his party post and indicted on fraud, theft and money-laundering charges stemming from his partnership in a consulting firm that got a 10 percent cut of donations to the GOP. Greer has pleaded not guilty.
On Saturday, current Florida GOP Chairman John Thrasher said the party is considering suing Greer, Crist and Greer's former top aide to recover "inappropriate expenses" they billed to the party.
Greer's attorney called the party's threats "political grandstanding."
Greer today said the timing of his Monday night statement wasn't related to Saturday's actions but to coincide with Obama's second back-to-school address, which was delivered today in Philadelphia without the hullabaloo that accompanied last year's remarks.
"In the year since I issued a prepared statement regarding President Obama speaking to the nation's school children, I have learned a great deal about the party I so deeply loved and served," Greer's statement said. "Unfortunately, I found that many within the GOP have racist views and I apologize to the President for my opposition to his speech last year and my efforts to placate the extremists who dominate our Party today. My children and I look forward to the President's speech."

Not sure. It reminds me some of Lee Atwater, who made the rounds begging forgiveness of everyone he slimed after he found out he had cancer.

No, not like Atwater...more like congressman Massa...who had his own problems, then tried to turn on Obama and Rahm in an attempt to sully their names and reps.
This guy in Fla is a joke. Sour grapes.

Lee Atwater's sorrow for the road taken
Timeless character
By James Hebert
May 19, 2006
He loved the blues, and he hated to lose.
Those two simple characteristics say a lot about what made Lee Atwater tick. And yet there was nothing simple about Atwater, the Republican strategist who masterminded George H.W. Bush's presidential win in 1988 and changed the nature of politics in the process.
He was a middle-class boy from South Carolina who scraped his way into the upper-crusty Bush's inner circle and eventually gained infamy for the Willie Horton attack ad, a ploy many condemned as racist.
But he also was an accomplished blues guitarist, a devotee of that African-American art form and a pal of the blues great B.B. King.
And when he was diagnosed with brain cancer in 1990, Harvey LeRoy Atwater found religion and sought forgiveness, apologizing to former foes and lamenting the "tumor of the soul" that afflicted America. And maybe, by extension, himself.
Atwater was a mentor to Karl Rove, the current President Bush's longtime adviser, and the kinds of tough campaign tactics that have become common today are a key part of the late strategist's legacy.
"Politics has always been a dirty game," says Rosina Reynolds, who is directing the Cygnet production. "But I think that probably what happened with Atwater is this whole gutter politics, this whole (credo of) attack politics really took off at that time.
The nature of the ad also fit into Atwater's history of ruthless and bruising campaign methods.
In one 1980 congressional race in South Carolina, a Democratic candidate named Tom Turnipseed later recalled, "Atwater's antics included phony polls by 'independent pollsters' to 'inform' white suburbanites that I was a member of the NAACP, because my congressman opponent was afraid to publicly say so."
Turnipseed was one of those to whom Atwater eventually apologized, as part of his outpouring of contrition (and embrace of religion) as his cancer spread.
According to "Bad Boy," John Brady's 1996 Atwater biography, Atwater was at a Republican fund-raiser, ridiculing Dukakis' emblematic and disastrous '88 photo op in a military tank, when he was felled by the seizure that led to his cancer diagnosis.
Dukakis is the person to whom Atwater most famously apologized, in a startlingly candid, first-person piece in Life magazine published two months before his death.
Atwater recounted how, speaking of Dukakis during the '88 campaign, he promised to "strip the bark off the little bastard" and "make Willie Horton his running mate."
Then he said: "I am sorry for both statements . . . the first for its naked cruelty, the second because it makes me sound racist, which I am not."
He also observed: "I used to say that the President might be kinder and gentler, but I wasn't going to be. How wrong I was. There is nothing more important in life than human beings."
Atwater's lament about America's "tumor of the soul" was a response to the acquisitiveness of the 1980s, which he felt had contributed to "a spiritual vacuum at the heart of American society."

Sorry, disagree.
The Atwater story is a man who played very hard politics, and as he faced death, had an experience of faith in his life. He then sought to make amends for things he has done to some people he felt he had wronged.
Massa was on his way out, for improprieties and scandal. He was not backed by his party, or the leaders. He felt betrayed. He then sought to make political hay by striking out and saying nasty things about his party. The repubs certainly grabbed hold of it for a short time, until it became clear he was self serving and could not be trusted.
The dude in FLA is in the same position. He was arrested, indicted and is about to go on trial for crimes committed largely against the GOP. Having no one want to, or be able to, back him from his former employer/party, he is obviously seeking to strike out against the GOP by saying false things. I plays well, hopefully for a similarly short time as Massa's story did with the GOP, with the opposition party. However, he will be shown to be full of as much bunk as Massa was.

me to introduce myself. Thanks for looking into
Freak Traction owned by (myself) Matt Kechele.
I started Freak Traction for the simple reason
I wanted to offer something different and try
to make some contributions to furthering the progression
of Surfing and Traction. Let's be honest, traction
has allowed surfers to take their approach to
new levels and heights. Surfers have a extra confidence
level with a nice sticky traction pad (arch if
you prefer) and a solid kick tail to give better
leverage through big power gouges or aerial approaches.
I have been around since the inception of the
first traction tail pads. Some would agree that
myself and good friend Jeff Klugel touted the
idea of a tail pad with a kick tail like a skateboard.
Now I'm giving up my age. In those days
I was just starting to experiment with the idea
of taking a skateboarding approach to my surfing
and busting airs regarded as possibly the first
with a repertoire of Aerial Tricks.
The Posi + Grip idea came as a challenge to offer something unique but very functional. I wanted to make a groove pattern that adds more leverage points to surround your toes better. Posi + Grip was the answer, This idea came to me at about 2:00 AM in the morning, I was having a positive dream I guess. The first intial cuts, after my drawing prooved to be incredibly gripping as well exceptionally light weight and a thinner feeling pad. The response has been great and our product is becoming popular around the world. Posi + Grip being thinner works real well for winter surfing with Booties on as well! Freak started in 8 different now we have close to 30 different Styles and the goals remain the same to push the boundaries for better products. Give a Freak Pad a go and see the difference in quality, weight and durability! Hopefully you can discover that you yourself are a FREAK, too!
Thanks again... Kech

It helps to do several things to make it easier for you to increase the production of semen in your body. These things need to work well to make it easier for you to get the best possible sexual results. These relate to nutritional points as well as external stimuli that could help you to get more semen ready for any kind of purpose that you may have.
Arginine can be used in your diet to increase semen production. This is an amino acid that is known to help with improving the body's ability to produce semen. Much of this comes from how arginine is rich in protein can go alongside many healthy fats in most foods. Sources of arginine include the following:
You need to use vitamin E in your diet so you can keep your semen production levels under control. Vitamin E can improve the body's natural defenses while also keep tissues in the testicles from becoming weak or easily worn out. You can use vitamin E through a variety of foods including:
Another vitamin that works well with increasing semen production is vitamin C. This vitamin is found in most types of fruits.
This vitamin works well because it is known to keep semen from sticking together and not being able to move around well. As a result, you may have an easier time with getting more sperm out of your body if you use this part of your diet the right way.
A big part of getting semen produced in your body involves working with cool air in the testicular area. This can work well by making sure that there is enough stimulation in that spot. A lack of stimulation might make it harder for you to produce a decent amount of semen.
This is why you should be making sure that you are getting your body to receive more cool air. You can do this in many ways:
You should be using these ideas if you want to get your body to produce more semen. This should help you to keep your testicular area comfortable through not only external support but also through the right nutrients to keep the area healthy and comfortable.

A Rewarding Relationship With The Speed
By ASHLEY ANDERSON
Staff Writer
The Voice-Tribune
In the last two decades, Kathy Oyler and Patty Kantlehner have witnessed the progression of The Speed Art Museum, a Louisville treasure, through their commitment to numerous volunteer activities around town.
Oyler and Kantlehner's initial involvement with the Louisville institution began in 1990 and 1991, respectively. Today, they serve as co-chairs of The Speed's new Board of Governors and eagerly look ahead to the museum's future.
"Our friendship has been decades, has been through young marrieds, through children," Oyler said. "We've always found time to give some time, and this year, we're back together (through the Board of Governors) after a little hiatus."
"The nice thing about the Board of Governors that we're really enjoying is that it's so diverse," Kantlehner added. "People who are brand new to town, young to old, and maybe a few who are a couple years older, lots of experience with The Speed, no experience with The Speed, it's all different types of faces. It's really, really fun."
Before joining the entity established to promote The Speed Art Museum within the community, Oyler and Kantlehner each served as president of The Speed's volunteer arm, the Alliance – now the pARTnership – and chaired the annual spring gala, The Speed Ball. "When (The Speed Ball) was at the museum, many times, that's the only time people in the community came to (The Speed Art Museum) the whole year," said Oyler. "A lot of leaders in the community came, leaders in the state. … It was a fundraiser, bottom-line, but then also to have community leaders come into the museum and have a connection with it and enjoy being there was really important."
Now, The Speed Ball will – for the first time in 40 years – head outside the museum to The Gillespie as The Speed undergoes its three-year $50 million expansion and renovation. The first spring gala of the year in Louisville, The Speed Ball is the largest fundraiser for the institution's education programs, exhibitions and family activities.
"(The Speed Art Museum is) right there, but it's like a hidden jewel," Kantlehner said of the importance in supporting the museum. "You travel and maybe go to different museums, when we have some fabulous pieces of art (at The Speed). And our world has gotten so tech-y, which can be good, but to experience some of those pieces, I just love that. And the new building space will be so different than the older part, but even the older part there's all sorts of areas that I've always loved just to kind of (visit), and it's peaceful, and I just think that it has a lot to offer."
Not only is the museum physically changing as a result of its expansion project, but its community appeal and support has increased tremendously. "We've also seen sort of an opening up of The Speed," Oyler related. "A long time ago it was a little more insular, it was sort of run by the same people who ran everything in town, and it's now a lot more diverse and open to anybody who wants to roll up their sleeves and work."
Through Speed About Town, the museum is extending its outreach even further while the museum's galleries are closed to the public. The initiative collaborates with local organizations including the Frazier History Museum to host enriching and engaging events, from artist lectures to art exhibitions, held about once a month for Speed members. "The Speed has a real involved outreach, not only just in terms of art, but performance artists and musicians and all sorts of things are happening as far as the calendar at The Speed is concerned," Oyler said.
While Oyler and Kantlehner share many fond memories and have grown even closer as friends from their past participation with The Speed, their focus now is on the advancement of the independent museum as it searches for its new permanent director/CEO, as well as the expansion that will turn the building into one of the finest experiential art museums in the country. "What will be interesting will be the search for our new director, and each director brings some thing of their personality," Kantlehner said. "The person they get, I think, will be so lucky because they're going to have a new facility, they've got a clean slate as far as the programming, so it's going to be really interesting and I'm sure it will be different."
"I think The Speed is part of the anchor of our community," Oyler continued. "We've got an incredible art scene with ballet, opera, performing arts, actors, children's theater, and the museum is one of the bedrocks with the original, and I'd love to see that continue and grow and grow and grow. I'd love to see people in the (entire state of Kentucky) taking an interest in the museum."

I'd love to have you join us in our adventures and possible misadventures…. they're bound to happen. See what our family is doing in the Real Life section or check out what random thoughts I've been having in the Random Babblings section.
Hopefully you are able to draw inspiration from some of the ideas presented here. It's gonna be a BLAST!!
This blog is a glimpse into my reality as we try to make memories that will last and I desperately try to get my Domestic Diva on. She's in there somewhere. I just know it! Check out Brooke Cooks to see what's been going on in my kitchen or Domestic Me to see what I've been attempting in the crafting department.
If you want to learn a little more about me and my quirks, you can find that info on my You Should Know post.
Also check out the Homeschooling section (a work in progress, not yet available) to find out what we're learning.
This blog is real! I will share with you what I know and the things I am learning about being a mom, wife and homeschooler.
I'm a busy mom trying to juggle too much at times but loving the lifestyle we've chosen.

Local blogger Dan Masters recently found a video the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce produced about our fair city, and has some nice comments about it. "Life is Good in Round Rock, Texas" is a top-notch video, produced by Austin-based Megalomedia, and I encourage everyone to take a look at it (the You Tube video is embedded on Dan's blog). Dan and his family relocated to Round Rock from California, and he says the video accurately portrays our community.

The video is mediocre at best. Almost all that was said in it can be said for most cities, especially those of less than 100,000 population. The population will not remain below 100,000 for much longer. I am guessing that by the 2010 census it will be greater than 100,000. At least it would not surprize me.
Truth in advertising is needed here. It does not show the congestion, bad drivers running stop signs thoughout town and yet you are going to put up, maybe half a dozen or so, red light cameras? Like that is going to improve anything. This area has the worst drivers in the state.
I moved here from Houston, in late 1992. I , like most people who move, was relatively happy and thought that RR was a nice place to live. It has changed radically. Back then the population was about 26,000 (1990 census)and RR was called the fastest growing small town in the US. Unfortunately, it has continued to grow. The population will about quadruple in about 20 years and in the next 20 years the population of this whole area is expected to double. Good now we can have twice as many bad drivers as we do now.
That is RR, not so much what the video portrayed.
I did not see anything in the video that was not true. In regards to the drivers I am not aware of any place, especially in Texas, that people do not drive like they do in RR. In fact I have seen worse other places in Texas.
In regards to the growth - they are up front about it.
Round Rock is growing and it is going to get bigger - this is why my family and I moved here. I can understand that this type of growth may not be for everyone and that is fine, but this video is up front about that and does not try to hide it.
Finally, the traffic issue are a direct result of the explosive growth and I see Round Rock addressing this. In the last 6 months the Toll road has been added and they are in the process of widening 79 to accommodate all the traffic coming THROUGH Round Rock from other cities that are growing (Hutto, Taylor, Georgetown). I am very impressed to see the cities response in this area especially compared to what I have seen in California and in the cities here in Texas (Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio). Traffic is WAY better in RR then over in Cedar Park and Leander (all take 35 over 183 any day).
I see Round Rock as very progressive and on the ball.
It may not be for everyone, but it is definitely for me!
