Four issues in, Swallow aims to be part gastronomical periodical, part coffee-table book, part passport, and part dinner-party argument starter.
Swallow may not be the first or even 10th name you'd think of for a hipster's foodie magazine—better for a birder's niche mag or drinker's handbook. But Swallow is what James Casey calls the quirkily elegant food culture journal he publishes edits and designs in New York. Three issues have come out so far, with a fourth in the works devoted to delights of the New York City's East Village. With its punk coloring, striking but decidedly not-food-porn covers, and feature stories that cover topics far afield of the kitchen, so far, the magazine's been living up to its unconventional title.
Casey, a Brit raised in Hong Kong who is an art director/graphic designer with a penchant for periodicals, began Swallow as an alternative to commercial foodzines. His father published a food magazine himself, "and as a result I was exposed to a fair amount of varied food and travel," Casey told me, after I recently came across an issue of Swallow. But the real impetus came when traveling to Rio for a fashion photo shoot: Casey spent more time "talking to our caterer about where to find the perfect place for feijoada, rather than on the shoot itself." (And if you're wondering where that perfect place was, he says, "it was at our driver's parent's house.")
Casey says he's something of a foodie, though he "doesn't actively follow trends, is weary of most restaurants, and tends to cook rather simply." Instead he says, "travel excites me a lot more, both in terms of food and culture—the feeling of being entirely dislocated from your regular day-to-day experience is thoroughly refreshing." So in Swallow he concentrates on cultures least visited by food editors.
Swallow's meat, as it were, is food, but smart design and exquisite production are also part of its appeal. Casey explains that given the predicted demise of print publications, "it only makes sense to create an object that people would want to hold on to. Printed matter is, in my opinion, no longer the prime format for information, but it still can be superior in terms of aesthetic."
In terms of production, Swallow hovers closer to a coffee table book than a magazine, and is priced somewhat similarly. That said, according to Casey it has managed to sell out of each issue while ramping up the numbers printed each time. Swallow was, however, never intended to be as lavish as it ended up being. Initially the idea was to create something on newsprint, but by the time the first issue was finishing up, "it felt such a shame to relegate all the photography and art to such a temporal form. Our printers, the excellent Dominie Press in Singapore, specialize in rather remarkable books, and the option to make it a hardbound book wasn't that ludicrous, cost-wise." For Swallow's "Trans Siberian Issue" a fifth florescent color and a comic-book insert was included, and the Mexico City edition, while printing a soft cover, had stained edges and a clothbound spine.
Casey grew up in Hong Kong and studied graphic design with the idea of designing album covers, but after a few temporary shuffles through places like MTV, he found himself at Teen Vogue magazine. "It was there that I picked up a preference of letting photography—good photography at least—speak volumes, and allowing the design to work with the images," he says. Since then he has worked on a number of publications before leaving to start Swallow, where the guiding philosophy is to be like "a great dinner party" at which food is what bonds the guests together, but "the ideal conversation veers outward in all sorts of directions, before eventually returning to the dishes at hand."

Character concerns for receiver only reinforced Brad Biggs
Titus Young's father said his son was dealing with being cut by the Detroit Lions "pretty good" but you have to wonder if the former second-round pick will need a serious makeover to get another chance in the NFL.
The Lions booted Young on Monday – the first day NFL clubs were allowed to resume making roster moves – after a short two-year stay with the team that was filled with insubordination and apparently delusion.
Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports that Young told his high school coach that he is a better wide receiver than Calvin Johnson, his former Lions teammate that just set the NFL single-season record for receiving yards.
Say what?
"He did tell me he thought he was just as good Megatron," said E.C. Robinson, Young's coach at University High in Los Angeles. "I said, 'Titus, come on.' I said, 'Come on, man. Who you talking to?' I said, 'Come on, you're as good as that guy? This guy is the real deal.' And he really believes this. And he was sincere about it. 'Ah man, I'm better than him.' I said, 'No you're not. Be real man. Come on.' So I don't know, I'm hoping for the best for him."
Young is going to need a reality check because a lot of teams shied away from him in the 2011 draft because of character concerns. Those concerns have only been reinforced during his stay with the Lions. He's got talent and that will most assuredly get him a look somewhere. But to excel and perform to the level of his skill – which is several notches below Johnson – he'll need to get his head on straight.

Ron Paul: Danger SignalSubmitted by GBAmerica on Fri, 09/14/2012 - 07:38
Danger Signal
In response to yesterday's announcement from the Federal Reserve, Congressman Ron Paul issues the following statement:
"No one is surprised by the Fed's action today to inject even more money into the economy through additional asset purchases. The Fed's only solution for every problem is to print more money and provide more liquidity. Mr. Bernanke and Fed governors appear not to understand that our current economic malaise resulted directly because of the excessive credit the Fed already pumped into the system.
"For all of its vaunted policy tools, the Fed now finds itself repeating the same basic action over and over in an attempt to prime the economy with more debt and credit. But this latest decision to provide more quantitative easing will only prolong our economic stagnation, corrupt market signals, and encourage even more misallocation and malinvestment of resources. Rather than stimulating a real recovery by focusing on a strong dollar and market interest rates, the Fed's announcement today shows a disastrous detachment from reality on the part of our central bank. Any further quantitative easing from the Fed, in whatever form, will only make our next economic crash that much more serious."

OMG - what is wrong with our fellow Americans?
I've got to take the few FRNs I have and buy some silver, since the fed won't give me silver for them.
i think the problem is that
i think the problem is that most people in america are so dumbed down that they have no clue this is even happening.
id guess that 3% of the people aware would be a generous guestimate.
Educate whenever you can
I like to add tiny comments to give listeners future direction for research. Whether they choose to or not, is up to them -- but I am finding it works better than beating people over the head with my awakening.
For instance, yesterday a coworker said the old quote, "possession is nine tenths of the law", and I immediately followed it up with, "Yeah, exactly -- so why would you give your money to a bank?" He chuckled, the conversation continued, and perhaps others in earshot wondered what I meant and will research on their own or query me about it later.
I've been mentioning fluoride poisoning the last couple times I visited my brother, and the last time my nephew (10) started asking me questions about it -- he's listening, he's absorbing knowledge like a sponge, it's really cool. I'm ready for one of my own. Education is a beautiful thing.
I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.

Greenspan did say...
I want an "orderly destruction of the dollar'. And everyone just rolled over and went back to sleep. The destruction of the dollar is out in the open and should be no surprise.
I'm bothered by the fact that
I'm bothered by the fact that Dr. Paul said "inject money" and "print money". I think it would have been more appropriate to say "inject currency" and "print currency".
Interesting. A comment over
Interesting. A comment over here with more or less the same gist has up-votes: http://www.dailypaul.com/254812/marc-faber-fed-will-destroy-.... I do wonder why that is.
We get it
Common, we're trying to sober up over hear with Ron's message...lol
For Freedom!
The World is my country, all mankind is my brethren, to do good is my religion.
More Than Meets the Eye
Ron Paul is right. The Federal Reserve has been doing the same song and dance for a century, and it has not worked. None of its predecessors in the First and Second Banks of the United States were able to succeed, either.
Perhaps that is because the stated goals of the Federal Reserve are not, in fact, its actual goals. As an agent of "stability" and promoter of "full employment," the Federal Reserve may be a miserable failure, but as a government-enforced banking cartel and legalized counterfeiter, it has been an astounding triumph.
"Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors, but today we kneel only to truth." - Kahlil Gibran
It's time for the South to
It's time for the South to rise again!
Dr Paul is wrong
"Mr. Bernanke and Fed governors appear not to understand that our current economic malaise resulted directly because of the excessive credit the Fed already pumped into the system."
- Yes they do understand Dr. Paul! Don't be daft!
They must return a lot of gold back to is rightful owners very soon. So a gold standard is not a solution they can adapt. First the german supreme court votes in favor of new stimulus from ECB. Surpriiise lol
- A few days later the FED has to do something similar. The difference is all about words. They must keep the system going as they have run out of options. Prepare yourselves for the collapse of a millennium.
Exiting times indeed lmao.
Alice in Wonderland - It's an Illusion
Most people cannot tell the difference from reality and the illusion.
House prices stay up and people think they are richer, but they are living in the same house.
Stock portfolios go higher and people see an illusion they are richer.
Meanwhile the reality is the debt sheet of the Fed gets bigger and bigger
Most commodities jumped around +2% the past 24 hours, so the grocery bill will be higher. But people will be in denial....salaries will not go up...and the Fed will need to explain why unemployment remains high. The bogus government CPI was highest it has been in a long time...
one day the dollar will collapse
"This isn't what the govern meant"
"Win the crowd and you will win your freedom"
The USA should be much richer than it is
It should have been even wealthier than Switzerland, if you consider here is where the industrial revolution began, the discovery of electricity, the phone, the airplane, the car, the telegraph, etc. etc.
And, if you figure the GREED the original bankers had salivating all over this potential corporate money they could tap into, well, no wonder this all happened at JEKYL ISLAND during those infamous days.
We SHOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH, MUCH WEALTHIER. THAT is the SECRET the public doesn't understand! We should have no poverty here. Women would NEVER have had to work. Families would have remained more intact with fewer divorces...all this if only the unFEDERAL RESERVE had not been created.
Instead, the GREED on WALL STREET has never been thicker with people hanging from their balconies sipping their cocktails and sneering at the "commoners" below them. And, the Federal Reserve, where are they? Never have I seen such public display of brashness as I witnessed yesterday with Bernanke, as he strutted in front of the cameras standing next to a USA flag, with that smirky smile ready to unload unimaginable amounts of more money printed into his own pockets, the pockets of the mafia families who own the FED, and any other special interest corporations they own or are involved with, and special favors for others, including other elite rulers like even the Queen herself.
Indeed, the arrogance is really getting OBVIOUS..
And America used to build products the World wanted
Nice Message. Small add ons...
In the 1960's Ferrari used to trade one new Ferrari for two new Pontiac GTO's, because Mr. Ferrari just thought the car and it's image was "cool". Today Pontiac Motor Company doesn't even exist.
And many Americans think this is just a-ok. If fact GM loses 40-50K on each new Volt and needs a bailout to even exist, and most of them are bought by our own Govt.
And when the race for the Jet Airliners was on, America came to game with the Boeing 707, kicking the Brits, and building one seriously wonderful airplane, sold ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Where is our pride, sense of accomplishment ? Or even a good clean look at the reality of the situation. America needs a cold hard look at itself and say WHAT WENT WRONG, everytime it goes to PRINT money in a hope to gain some false wealth.
"This isn't what the govern meant"
"Win the crowd and you will win your freedom"
It's a religion that isn't
It's a religion that isn't Christianity. We also shouldn't be having that problem either.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
WRONG! Car was invented in
WRONG! Car was invented in Germany in 1885 by Mercedes. Industrial Revolution began in Britain and France in the 18th century. America didn't invent everything :P
Ford and the Assembly Line
America is responsible for the Assembly line production, and affordable cars. And the cabin pressurized Jet Airplane that really worked -> Boeing 707. It was a place of industry and prosperity.
The point is that false wealth by printing money is simply that false wealth, wealth by building great products people want to buy is indeed wealth and prosperity.
And clearly the FED has lost it's sense of reality.
"This isn't what the govern meant"
"Win the crowd and you will win your freedom"
i still got his point...
didn't you?;)
its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...
Rockin' the FREE world in Tennessee since 1957!

But the main point, that technology should have made us all far richer then it has, and the bankers have been draining off the excess the whole time - remains.

So you decided to make a pointless correction to stroke your own ego, right? You're so smart! Good job! You did it! Good boy!
Simple Facts and Plain Arguments
A common sense take on politics and current events.
Actually I was wrong as well.
Actually I was wrong as well. The car's origin's can be trased back to 1769 with the first steam powered locomotive by a French inventor named Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot. In fact a proto-type was invented even 100 years earlier by the Chinese. So you can say the Chinese invented the car.
I just had to correct him.
I just had to correct him. The historical inaccuracy bothered me.
I don't understand how people
I don't understand how people like BB fail to understand the point Dr Paul is making.
In time BB and the fools that appointed him, and the greater fools who elect those fools, will find reality to be a much harsher teacher than Dr Paul.
People in general (not BB cause he understands) are selfish,
thinking only in terms of immediate personal benefit, and simply don't care about longer term consequences. The politiCONs know this, and play those people like a fine fiddle.
Undo what Wilson did
BB knows EXACTLY what he's doing, come on!
Anybody who thinks he doesn't know what he's doing is naive. BB and his criminal owners of the FED want to print money to benefit themselves and other companies that they have an interest in. The Rockefeller family has a huge interest in ExxonMobil, for example.
These people have been pumped up to a GOD-like status by the Media which they own or influence, take your pick.
It is MORALLY WRONG for the Central Banks to "act" as an INVESTMENT BANK, taking our money, inflating our currency, so that they can put it wherever they want to---as in the stock market---never telling the public what exactly they are doing with the money either, nor to whom else they are "giving" it to, as in Goldman Sachs to front-run money for THEM through the markets.
The Central Bank was never supposed to do anything but protect our currency. At least, that's what they said. THey are no different than lying politicians. Instead, they have manipulated markets & paid off politicians, so they could elevate themselves to the most sophisticated gang of thieves in the history of the world, amassing so much wealth and power at our expense that it is almost hard to believe!
I know people who live this way
Spending way more than they earn.
Lavish parties on credit.
Clothes they never wear.
Cars, phones, computers.
Borrowing from one credit card to pay another.
Pawning stuff to pay the electric bill.
Would the President live like this?
Why does he run the country this way?

Senh Duong (Founder)Wopular,
The National Association of Realtors said Monday that sales of existing homes fell 6.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.93 million.
The combination of higher home prices and relatively stagnant incomes has reduced affordability and restrained buying activity.
Lower affordability, resulting from tight credit, rising home prices and essentially flat incomes, held back sales for the rest of the year.
Analysts say sales of roughly 5.5 million existing homes are common in a healthy real estate market.
A sudden blast of cold weather and snowstorms at the end of November might have cut into sales, noted Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomic.
Rates have fallen as investors are plowing their money into 10-year U.
Nigerian police say at least 16 people were killed and 25 wounded by a car bomb at a bus station in the northeastern city of Gombe.
Hundreds of people have been killed by car bombs and suicide bombers this year, mainly in the northeast that is home to the Islamic uprising.
Police say a man was fatally shot in Grand Rapids during a large weekend party at barbershop.
Police Lt. Pat Merril says at least 70 people were gathered at the barbershop for the party, but none of those in attendance called 911.
Wichita religious and nonprofit leaders are remembering the homeless people who died this past year in the city.
Cline, who is also a spokesman for the Advocates to End Chronic Homelessness, said they are "all human beings and deserve respect and dignity."
The attorney is seeking to use an insanity defense for a teenager charged with fatally attacking a 73-year-old suburban Indianapolis man.
The attorney for 17-year-old Maxwell Winkler of Fishers filed a notice of insanity or mental disease defense Friday in a Hamilton County court.
A white Milwaukee police officer who was fired after he fatally shot a mentally ill black man in April won't face criminal charges, the county's top prosecutor said Monday.
[] based on all the evidence and analysis presented in this report, I come to the conclusion that Officer Manney's use of force in this incident was justified self-defense and that defense cannot be reasonably overcome to establish a basis to charge Officer Manney with a crime.
The executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin, Chris Ahmuty, issued a statement saying the decision not to charge Manney left "a cloud of uncertainty over the circumstances of and the responsibility for Mr.

- 1987
Jim "Carfish" Hunter was a high school star who almost lost his chance at the big leagues when he shot part of his foot off in a hunting accident. In 1968 he threw a perfect game for Oakland, and he won 20 games five straight times. A durable staff workhorse, Hunter pitched a decade without missing a start. Despite winning just 40 games after the age of 30, Hunter was named to the Hall of Fame in 1987.
Unform Number
#27 (1965-1974), #29 (1975-1979)
Replaced By
Hunter was in and out of the Yankee rotation in 1979, suffering from arm troubles all season. Jim Beattie picked up most of his starts when Hunter was out.
Best Season
Hunter posted a 21-7 mark with a 2.04 ERA in 37 starts. He surrendered exactly 200 hits in 295 1/3 innings, and hurled five shutouts. Right-handed batters hit .173 against him, while lefties hit .208. He was 5-0 in July, with a 1.40 ERA in six starts. Of his 37 starts, 30 were quality starts (at least six innings and three or fewer earned runs).
Factoid 1
Catfish Hunter is the only starting pitcher to be in the rotation for two teams that won three straight pennants: the 1972-1974 A's, and the 1976-1978 Yanks.
June 8, 1964: Signed by the Kansas City Athletics as an amateur free agent; December 16, 1974: Granted Free Agency; December 31, 1974: Signed as a Free Agent with the New York Yankees.
Hunter performed brilliantly late in the season. His career ERA in August and September was 2.93, well below his career ERA in the other months (3.43).
Hunter twice led the AL in home runs allowed.

Comments Thread For: Schaefer Expects Blood and Guts in Ponce vs. Mares Clash
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer expects nothing but fireworks on April 20th, when undefeated Abner Mares (25-0-1, 13KOs) pursues his third divisional title by moving up to the featherweight division to challenge WBC featherweight champion Daniel Ponce De Leon (44-4, 35KOs) in a Showtime televised main event at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California.
Frustrated with his inability to secure a unification match with WBO champion Nonito Donaire, Mares vacated his WBC super bantamweight title and announced his intention to move up in weight.
For Schaefer, Ponce De Leon vs. Mares brings back memories of the four-fight series between Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez. Two of those four matches were held at the Home Depot Center. [Click Here To Read More]

schaefer forgot to mention battered balls. Mares can't fight without going low at least 20 times a fight.

Gary Russell Jr. Would knock both of these bums out. Mares ducked Leo Santa Cruz because Leo would've put them paws on him.

This 120 pounder is going to show Browner how he was supposed to fight and beat Ponce DeLeon.
It just comes to show you how much of a made up fighter Broner is fighting guy two weight class below his.
Go Mares show them how is done just like you did when you beat Darchinian, Moreno, agbeko, and other fighter of such caliber.
Has Santa Cruz or Gary Russel Jr. ever face such as stiff opposition... I wonder???

Wow thanks for all the advice. I'm not 100% certain on the conical, but it seems like it would be pretty fool-proof and high quality. I want something easy to sanitize with little room for error and the least amount of human intervention as I've made a bad batch with the plastic buckets in the past that I want to avoid. The less I have to transfer beer around from one container to the other the better. For those that say there are better options, could you please provide a few specific examples of equipment around the same price or cheaper that might be preferable for a newbie than the blichmann 14 gallon conical? I want something that I won't outgrow anytime soon. I like ales and stouts and might try a lager later on, all grain sounds interesting too. Thanks again.
My question would be what do you have for equipment currently?
I person don't see any advantage to using a conical to make better beer or making your brew day easier other than to impress friends and families when they see your setup
Like others have said....lots of things to buy before getting a conical
"To alcohol! The cause of... and solution to... all of life's problems,"
I had purchased a 5 gallon brewing kit that came with a plastic fermenter bucket with airlock, a bottling bucket, plastic siphons, hydrometer, bottle capper, bottle filler and bottling brush. They getting kind of old and not sure if the lid gaskets are perfectly air tight, or if there are tiny scratches from use, etc anymore. I want to start fresh and upgrade to some newer equipment which will last a long time but I think that the big glass bottles would be too hard to clean inside effectively. I really want something that is simple and easy to keep clean that is not plastic and thats when I came a across the conical stainless steel fermenter, which I read can also be used for bottling without having to transfer into another container, also a plus for me. Admittedly I'm a newbie and not sure whats best for me but at this point I'm looking for specific examples of kits or equipment suggestions as I would like to pull the trigger on something soon and start brewing again.
buy a lot of cornies and a kegging setup them, you can ferment in the kegs.
I only use glass carboys, and I don't scrub at all, a nice soak in oxyclean and a good rinse is all I need. I wish I had gotten buckets instead. I suppose you could bottle from a conical but how are you going to mix priming sugar in it evenly? A good tank would be a spiedel tank. Morebeer.com
You didn't mention a brew kettle, chiller or a burner. Do you have a kettle large enough to do full volume boils? How are you chilling? Are you boiling on the stove? I would start by getting a 9 gallon or larger brew kettle. Some kind of chiller and a good burner. This will make your brewing experience much more enjoyable. After that, consider making a cooler mash tun so you can brew all grain. By then you'll be racking up some good experience and will have a better idea of where you want to go from there.
I have a steel pan that is big enough for a 5 gallon batch that I used to boil the ingredients on the kitchen stove. Then I manually poured that into the fermenter bucket as I recall, sorry, its been a few years since my last attempt. I did not have a cooler or chiller that I've used so far. I do have a temperature gauge on the bucket that I remember it saying to store in a cool place within a certain temperature range, but thats it, nothing fancy.
OK I will research brew kettles and chillers, thanks.

Stooges Drummer Scott Asheton Dies at 64
Scott Asheton, drummer for legendary punk-rock band The Stooges, died Saturday evening at age 64. No cause of death has been announced yet.
Asheton's death was confirmed by Stooges frontman Iggy Pop on Sunday afternoon via a statement on his Facebook page.
"My dear friend Scott Asheton passed away last night," Pop wrote. "Scott was a great artist, I have never heard anyone play the drums with more meaning than Scott Asheton. He was like my brother. He and Ron have left a huge legacy to the world. The Asheton's have always been and continue to be a second family to me.
"My thoughts are with his sister Kathy, his wife Liz and his daughter Leanna, who was the light of his life."
Asheton co-founded The Stooges in 1967 along with Pop, bassist Dave Alexander, and his brother, guitarist Ron Asheton, who died in 2009. The band released three raw, genre-defining albums -- 1969's The Stooges, 1970's Fun House and 1973's Raw Power -- before splitting in 1974. The band eventually reformed in 2003.
Asheton remained The Stooges' drummer until 2011, when a stroke caused his temporary retirement from live performing. Asheton, along with the rest of the band, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.

Even before the Winston-Salem (N.C.) Journal has had time to post its interview with Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., the Obama campaign has circulated his semi-contrite remarks.
"Obviously, if I worded things in a way that made people offended, I deeply regret that," he said, per ABC News' Sunlen Miller. "The underlying truth of what I said remains, which is simply that people who have seen their way of life upended because of economic distress are frustrated and rightfully so.
"And I hear it all the time when I visit these communities. People say they feel like no one is paying attention or listening to them and that is something – that is one of the reasons I am running for president. I saw this when I first started off as a community organizer and the steel plants had closed. I was working with churches in communities that had fallen on hard times. They felt angry and frustrated."
Sen. Clinton, meanwhile, has unleashed the proverbial hounds.
Surrogate after surrogate is bemoaning Obama's comments, the elitism they supposedly illustrate, and the damage they might do electorally to the Democratic party should he be the nominee.
Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind. , is just one example; the Clinton campaign held a conference call in which allies of the woman who once was derided as an elitist for saying "I'm not sitting here as some little woman 'standing by my man' like Tammy Wynette" and "I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was fulfill my profession" went on the attack, including the mayors of Pennsylvania towns Scranton, Sharon, Bethlehem, Wilkes-Barre, and Harrisburg.
You can listen to that call HERE.
Before Democratic hunters and sportsmen begin scheduling Skeet Shoots for Clinton — with her new "I understand Second Amendment enthusiasts" rhetoric — the NRA might want you to remember that she hasn't always sounded so understanding of the needs of hunters and sportsmen.
"There are many, many millions of American voters and citizens who will stand behind political leaders who are brave enough to buck the gun lobby, wherever that may take us, so that they will vote for the measures that we know will save lives," she said in 1999 as first lady.
During her Senate run in 2000 she called for licensing and registration, although she has since backed off that stance.
During the NRA's 2006 push to demand that police chiefs and mayors pledge to never confiscate weapons from law-abiding citizens in the wake of disasters such as hurricanes or terrorist attacks, actually, it was Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, who supported an amendment from Sen. David Vitter, R-La., to bar homeland security funds for gun confiscation. Clinton voted against the Vitter amendment.
That's not to say that Obama and Chuck Heston (R.I.P.) would have seen eye-to-eye on this issue.
(Though Obama referred to small towners "cling"ing to their guns and Heston said the government could take his gun when they pried it from his cold, dead hands…So I guess they could agree on the notion of the verb, at least, if not the motivation behind said tight grip.)

Retail Sales Post Surprise Jump
By JEFF BATER
The Wall Street Journal
February 13, 2008 8:48 a.m.
WASHINGTON -- Retail sales unexpectedly climbed in January, given a boost by demand for cars and gasoline in a positive sign for the economy.
Retail sales increased by 0.3%, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Sales went down an unrevised 0.4% in December.
Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires estimated a 0.4% decline in January retail sales.
The sales report is a key indicator of U.S. consumer spending. Consumer spending makes up about 70% of gross domestic product, the broad measure of economic activity in the U.S. GDP grew a sluggish 0.6% in the fourth quarter, after racing along at a 4.9% pace during the third quarter.
High prices for gasoline and falling home values are seen as factors depressing spending. Another worrisome sign for spending -- and the economy -- is a soft job market. Nonfarm payrolls declined by 17,000 jobs in January, the first drop since August 2003.
And yet the retail sector data Wednesday showed U.S. sales of automobiles and parts increased by 0.6% in January. December sales had fallen 1.1%.
Sales of all other retailers excluding auto and parts dealers increased in January by 0.3%; economists expected a 0.2% increase. Ex-auto sales in December had gone 0.3% lower, revised from a previously estimated 0.4% decrease.
January gasoline station sales increased by 2.0%. Gas sales were unchanged in December. Stripping away sales at gas stations, demand at all other retailers inched 0.1% higher in January.
Excluding gas and auto sectors, demand at other retailers last month was unchanged. Sales rose 1.4% at clothing stores; 0.8% at health and personal care stores; 0.6% at food and beverage stores; 0.5% at mail order and Internet retailers; and 0.1% at general merchandise stores.
Sales fell by 1.3% at sporting goods, hobby and book stores and 0.5% at eating and drinking places.
Sales in categories related to the housing sector tumbled -- building material and garden supplies dealers dropped 1.7% and furniture store sales fell 0.5%. Sales slid by 1.0% at electronics and appliance stores.
