and Early Modern Studies
at the English Department of the University of Oklahoma |
Welcome to MEMS (Medieval and Early Modern Studies) at OU's English Department |
Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)
is a highly productive area of research and teaching in the English
department at the University of Oklahoma, balancing a number of
approaches. Faculty and students work on canonical and non-canonical
texts and in related fields such as textual editing and the history of
the book. At the same time, their interests regularly take them into
literary theory, cultural and social history, intertextuality, and
questions of gender and representation. Graduate students find strong support and mentoring as they develop as scholars and teachers. They present their work at national and regional conferences and seek publication in major journals. The department and the college provide competitive funding sources for conference travel and dissertation research. M.A. or Ph.D. students working on medieval literature are also eligible for the Rudolph C. Bambas Memorial Scholarship. This award, of approximately $2,000 per year, was established by Dr. Frieda Derdeyn Bambas in memory of her husband, Rudolph Bambas, a former professor of Anglo-Saxon at OU's English Department. Undergraduates with an interest in the Middle Ages or the Renaissance choose from an array of interesting survey and specialized courses. Chaucer, Arthurian Legend and Literature, and Shakespeare Comedy and Drama are just a few of the regularly offered courses in the English Department. Outstanding
Med/Ren resources at OU
Variorum Chaucer
project is based at OU. Founded in 1967, the project analyzes the
textual history and offers a comprehensive overview of all facets
critical commentary for Chaucer's individual works.
The History of Science Collections, part
of the University Libraries system, comprise over 91,000 volumes
spanning all fields of science and natural philosophy.

It sounds as if Nothing Rhymes with Orange faced a dilemma a few years back: One member decided the band should try to sound like a modern version of the Fixx. The other members protested, then gave in. At least that seems a likely scenario after listening to Soho, the Hollywood-based band's newest record.
Nothing Rhymes with Orange is a textbook example of a group of above-average musicians working extra hard to sound like what they hear on the radio. The band is obviously pandering to A&R reps by sticking to a slick, middle-of-the-road sound. There isn't one note on Soho that isn't calculated to appeal primarily to record-company talent scouts.
Some of the noises here are compelling and likable -- serrated guitar slashes, insistent synthesizer riffs -- but they are marred by horribly overdramatic singing, which at times recalls the very worst of every mediocre talent, from Bono to Neil Diamond.
Although Soho's material is industry dictated, even record-label executives might balk at some of it. "Another Black and White Morning" misses the mark entirely, plodding along simplistically like a brontosaur in the swamp. "Poor Little Head" (I'd rather not speculate about the meaning) is pedestrian, annoying, and derivative. And not in a good way, either. (email@example.com)
By contrast the Curious Hair does not sound as if it's trying to appease suit-wearing bean counters (or anyone else) on its album, Say Hello to Happiness. The Curious collective is headed by Miami bandleader/producer Jeff Rollason, with collaborators Amanda Green, Maria Marocka, Matthew Sabatella, Mario Padron, Ben Peeler, and Ferny Coipel. This local supergroup of sorts has put together a half-drunk experiment that often resembles a haphazard jam session rather than an attempt to make a bona fide record. And that's why it's so successful.
Raw, bruised Southern rock is this group's order of the day, with sloppy grace and twang by the ton. Rollason penned most of the 14 tracks, settling into a comfortable, well-worn veneer of Americana. A summery, back-porch vibe fills Rollason and Marocka's "When I Wake Up from This Dream" with unshakable '70s swagger. Marocka's "Off with Java" is a clear winner, her high, airy voice held aloft by the soft tones of a melodica. She scores again with "Dew Drop Inn," a place, she promises, "where we'll meet and begin again." For every silly throwaway like "Pied Piper," there is a timeless retro-rocker like the Royal Truxish "Sunday Sunshine," which rides on thick, droning chords from an old analog organ.
The Curious Hair's carefree collection is one of the best local releases to sit buried beneath my desktop detritus in 2000. I'm glad I unearthed it. (www.nartworld.com)
Newport Gestapo, a trio with principals in Miami, Hialeah, and Pompano Beach, has little in the way of uniqueness (in fact it's nothing but the Clash and the Ramones reheated), but it boasts a good deal of snotty fire. Nasty, backbiting guitar gives the 16 tunes of Newport Gestapo's self-titled debut a jolt, but the disc could use an injection of tempo enhancer. The songs are simply played too slowly to qualify as punk rock. Starting with drummer Jim Burke, the band needs to become tighter, harder, and faster, though singer-guitarist Victor García-Rivera's guitar sparks nearly overcome that weakness.
Lyrically Newport Gestapo never strays far from suburban teenage rage. But "CST (Cuban Standard Time)" throws a South Floridian wrench into the sociopolitical ranting. "Goodbye 182" takes the Blink boys to task for selling out to VH1. "Who Asked You?" is appropriately short, angry, and direct. Cleverness takes a break on "Happy Suicide," however, with its chorus: "Tell why I want to die/Do I really want suicide?" Make up your mind, then get back to us. "Just an Illusion" sports a chorus so awkward and clunky, one starts to think Newport Gestapo never throws away a song. But there's no question the band's heart is in the right place. (members.aol.com/newportgestapo)
Hello's big, fat, well-produced, ready-for-stadiums rock comes with a slightly dark edge. But the West Palm Beach group's The Last Place on Earth is standard stuff that toggles between two modes: overtly dumb and aggressive and not quite as dumb and aggressive. This problem is complicated when vocalist Mike Jerome slips into Eddie Vedder mode, a condition that has evidently reached epic proportions in the rock-singer community.
I suppose I should mention the songs, though I don't really want to. "Todd" is fatally infected with a clumsy vocal flow. Atmospheric and almost jazzy, "Fun Government Cheese" starts with promise but quickly degrades into a mealy morsel about as tasty as its title. "Archie Swirl" proudly shows off a catchy hook; "Butter" makes a pass at the Nu Metal crowd; and "Wasted Sea" makes nice use of Eric Guenette's guitar. The best tune, "Saturn Girl (Acetythane Mix)" is a creepy, slow-cooked techno groove. But it's just hard to picture anyone getting excited about The Last Place on Earth, which seems commonplace and nondescript. There must be 40 million bands that do this sort of thing much better, such as the Spin Doctors.

Who You Gonna Call? Michael Rooker!
By Kyle Anderson on September 11, 2013
Not content to merely have been Merle Dixon, the one-handed Governor-enforcer on AMC's The Walking Dead, nor to have been a bounty hunter in one of our Course of the Force videos, it seems actor Michael Rooker wants to bust some ghosts. At a recent convention, Rooker, decked out in his finest ecto-fighting duds, complete with proton pack, took to the floor to find who he was looking for… and that person turned out to be one of the Real Ghostbusters: Ernie Hudson, who clearly was not prepared for the Rookering he received. Not sure what's better: that he dressed up like that in search of Winston Zeddemore, or the reaction everybody on the con floor had to seeing Merle (or "Merrill," as one woman exclaims) dressed as a Ghostbuster.
Now, this would be a sequel we'd love to watch.
Great video, Rooker and Ernie rule!!
So fun! Its a shame how it got cut off at the end there, but clearly he was having a fun that at the convention.
I'm sorry, but who the hell is editing these things? Did anyone else notice that the writer used "dawn" instead of "don" when describing what Michael Rooker did?
That was at Dragon Con in Atlanta. Ernie Hudson's panel was great!

Poor Kris — it seems like he genuinely adores Kim. Sources say he wants to remain friends and still cares about her!
Kris Humphries seemed to be the victim early on in his divorce from Kim Kardashian, and new information makes us think he was truly blindsided by the split!
Despite previous reports, Kris, 26, has no interest in pursuing legal action against Kim, 31, regarding his role in Kourtney and Kim Take New York, TMZ reports. The reason?
"He still loves her and their relationship right now is 'cordial,'" a source told the website.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers — is Kris the victim in this split?

No he's not a victim in this. I still say Kris played a role in this entire engagement, wedding fiasco and got paid for his part which is why he's keeping his mouth shut.
In your previous post it was written his ex-girlfriend said he bad talked the K's by saying how trashy and bad they were……if this is true why in the world would he want to be around her family or ask Kim to marry him. The whole thing was a scam from the beginning and I will never believe any different.
Posted at 4:59 PM on November 26, 2011
I think theyre both victims in one way or another. (Kim's is mostly an act tho…) but i honestly do feel bad for Kris because he got so mixed up in this and i dont think he anitcipated anything like this to happen. I think he was being naive when he married her and he actually believed that Kim wood drop everything and just be his dream wife. He shoodve realized she's not that kind of person.

The reality stars used to be BFFs, but betrayals, rumors and bitter arguments have driven the two apart!
Kailyn Lowry befriended her Teen Mom 2 co-star Jenelle Evans early on — the two became SO close that Kailyn even bailed Jenelle out of jail last summer, according to Reality Weekly! But Jenelle still hasn't paid Kailyn back, and now Kailyn's feeling used. "Kailyn felt like it was her responsibility to help Jenelle adn to fix her issues," a source revealed to Reality Weekly. "But Jenelle never paid her back."
Kailyn's hurt that her close friend would turn her back on her. "Because the other girls didn't like [Jenelle], Kailyn would hang out with her," the Teen Mom 2 insider revealed. "She had confidence that Jenelle was trying to make things better and do the right thing. But that's not what happened."
Last summer when Jenelle was arrested on a probation violation, Kailyn lent her the $150 bail. The college student didn't have much money to spare, but she was there for her friend.
"Kailyn really tried," the insider explained. "She tried to help her time and time again."
But the last straw came when Jenelle started talking to Kailyn's ex, Mike. The playboy bet Kailyn he could hook up with any of the Teen Mom girls, including Jenelle.
"Mike contacted Jenelle on Facebook and they made plans to go to New York together," the insider explained. "He sent Kailyn screenshots of Jenelle calling Kailyn names and saying how much she hated her. To Kailyn, it proved that Jenelle was never a good friend. She felt like she'd been stabbed in the face!"
But this story has a happy ending! The two seem to have put their differences aside and made up.
"Happy to say that Jenelle & I can look past our difference and be friends again :)," she tweeted on Jan. 21.
Do YOU think Kailyn has a right to be mad at Jenelle?

Kailyn is ugly? Oh sweet pea, you really need to check out a mirror! It's a shame a mirror can't reveal ugliness that lies within. You might learn something. I truly feel sorry for you. You may never know what true beauty is. Kailyn is not only gorgeous, she is also beautiful! I am proud of all these girls with the exception of Jenelle. She could be beautiful if she would quit blaming everyone else for her situation, grow up, and take some responsibility for where she is and how she got there. Oh PS: work on your spelling.

Mitch you are a sorry excuse of a humane being how dare you come on here and start bashing kailyn saying the alful things you said people like you discust me and yea you idiot she would be missed greatly she has a child who loves her dearly she is strong and has been through so much and she still keeps moving forward. and she is beautiful unlike you i couldn't care less what your face looks like because your soul is UGLY and thats enough for me. obviouly you have self worth issues my guess is your not a very attractive person and talking crap on kailyn makes you feel better.so why dont you go pull your lip over your head and swallow it. and I dont care for janelle because she dont care for her child but kailyn has done nothing for people to sit here and bash her she is a good mom and that is all that matters.
Yours Truly

Gentlemen, let's take a moment here to analyze women logic.
Kailyn cheats on her boyfriend and the women here defend her, justifying with "shez been tru soO0 muhh!".
When she gets called ugly (a fact) by one of our fellow men, he's immediately shut down with "OMG U HAZ SELF WORTH ISSUEZ, SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL SOUL"
And there is a strong consensus here to hate Jenelle who is obviously mentally retarded. Who else hated the mentally retarded? The Nazis.
So, with deep humility, I urge you to ask yourself, Gentlemen. Why do we flock towards these whores? Why do we spend so much time, money and effort towards the almighty vagina? Why hasn't one of you nerds out there figured out a way to disconnect us from this biological inevitability?
The fact that society frowns upon men, frowns upon BEING A MAN, knowing whats right, being in control. Now we have been turned into slaves by these whores who can't even spell right!
I think it's time gentlemen, that we took matters in our own hands and set the record straight, like the men we are.
From now on, I suggest we just ban women entirely from talking or thinking. That should solve about 90% of world issues, including world hunger and poverty. I also suggest women take pet status for our reproductive needs. Furthermore, if any woman turns fat (gains 20 extra pounds), there should be a self detonator attached to her body to eliminate her completely from earth.
What are your thoughts gentlemen? Yes, these solutions are bold but I believe we need bold solutions for bold issues.
Posted at 10:59 PM on May 12, 2012
I want to believe that was a joke, but… Well, if it's not, please try to remember that some of us aren't whores, can and do spell correctly, and don't whine whenever a man has an opinion. That said, I don't think it's fair to bash someone based on their looks, simply because everyone has feelings, and these people have never done anything personally to hurt you, so why should you feel the need to hurt them?? It's about simple common decency, which is about as common as common sense these days; Practically non-existent!!
Posted at 12:37 PM on February 12, 2013
What happened to you to say such cruel things about all women? Did your mother cause you some psychological trauma and now you dislike women in general? Thank goodness men I have been fortunate enough to know are good and not represented by your logic. None of those girls deserve to be called whores. I say any man or woman who's as cruel as you should have a rocket shot straight up his *## into the sky. Just obliterated from the earth. Yes, this solution is also in fact, bold. But using your logic bold solutions are needed for bold issues, which this certainly is.
Posted at 12:20 AM on February 14, 2012
I hate Jenelle. She is not a mother at ALL! If she cared anything about Jace she would put him first instead of Keifer or smoking weed. She is so messed up in the head. Shes so lucky her mother has given her so many chances and always takes her back. Poor Jace has a "supposed" mother thats always walking out on him and is never there, because she is more concerned about herself and being with such a "LOSER" like Keifer, what a waste….Please Kailyn, your better than this, dont waste your time on someone like Jenelle.
Posted at 1:33 PM on February 10, 2012
I think honestly kailyn could be compared to a hungry hungry hippo. She resembles one. And just like the bored game hippo we all new and loved she takes everything she get and justifies her mistakes by pretending to be smarter than she actually is. I watch the show because its nice to see other parents dealing with the probs I deal with as a father of two and seeing the ways thwy handle them makes it easier. But seeing the way she did jordyn and made it sound "ok" because Joe was the dad. Look girl , jordyn took on a huge responsibility by getting with ur ugly self. But the fact that u couldn't even dump him first makes u a dumb nasty h** and I wish nothing but a crap life for u. Get hit by a semi trust me. No one will miss you
Posted at 10:45 PM on November 27, 2012
At least Kailyn tries to better herself and is a good mother!
Janelle is a self centered troll,who doesn't give a damn about her son!
I feel sorry for her mother and she should adopt that baby and take all rights away from Janelle.
I would be proud to have Kailyn as a daughter, her mother isn't worth the dirt she walks on!
Yes Kailyn has faults, but she is a good Mother.

Jenelle is so narcissistic, it doesn't surprise me in the least that every relationship she is shown getting into, whether it's a friendship or with a boyfriend, always ends in disaster. Her sense of entitlement, and self importance is so wacked out of shape I find it doubtful she will ever be able to be a true mother to Jace. I wouldn't doubt for a minute that she could be diagnosed not only as Bipolar but also with "Narcissistic Personality Disorder".

Kailyn is too good to be friends with someone as trashy as Jenelle. Kailyn's in college, raising her son, and normally makes smart choices to better herself and Issac's lives. Jenelle on the other hand is a train wreck who can't even care for her own son, much less stay out of jail. Don't worry about her, Kailyn, you've got too much going for you to worry about Jenelle!

The whole bail thing is just a rumor. Neither girl has ever confirmed it, plus Kailyn isn't 21, she can't post someones bail.
And the whole issue with the "ex" boyfriend, HE was talking to Jenelle and she flirted back, most people are natural flirts and mean nothing by it, when Jenelle found out that Kailyn had an issue with it she stopped talking to him and told him to leave her alone. She posted screen shots on her Facebook Fan-page.
You know for a 'journalist' you really suck at digging for facts.
Posted at 3:09 AM on February 11, 2012
Actually, they both denied it! It was first "reported" by some stalker loser who dedicates her whole day to living in their shadow. Both Jennele and Kail were surprised as neither one of them had any recollection of those events. This blog is a bottom feeding poor excuse for a "blog". None of the authors know how to fact check or use proper grammar. It's entertaining solely for those reasons.

A few years ago, I found an Estee Lauder solid perfume compact at an antique mall in Illinois. My daughter had worked at a famous department store on her breaks from college and I recalled her saying these pieces were quite expensive. She told me how highly sought after they were and how ladies would rush to the counters in anticipation of the arrival of the newest Gift With Purchase promotion.
So I bought it at the reasonable price of $15. While at the check-out counter, the lady exclaimed that I got a real bargain because these were so very collectible. I must admit, even though I have dabbled in the antiques and collectibles business for a lot of years, this was not an item I knew anything about.
Imagine my surprise when I came across the book by Roselyn Gerson, circa 2002. I paged through the book and found the exact compact I had purchased with a wonderful description and original price, plus an estimate of current value. This was called "Palazzo", nicely enameled on the lid in a rich blue and colorful flowers. I learned it cost $10.00 in 1973 and had a current value of $65-85. I promptly listed it on an Internet site and it sold for $95, even more than anticipated by the writer of the book.
Through the years I have found other solid perfume containers, by different makers. No matter how lovely they were, none reached the price of the Lauder example. They are actually quite lovely. Some were actually pendants with the scent inside, and as the years went on, more creativity was added. In the 1990s when slippers and shoes were so "hot", they made a few of those. The Age of Aquarius influenced some in the late '90s showing fabulous zodiac-related compacts, adorned with crystals.
Many of the animal examples such as a "Bird Cage" perfume compact originally cost $150. It appears to have held its value and was valued at $150-200.
I often search for these at yard sales and thrift stores and flea markets hoping to strike a bargain. But alas, it appears that people that paid a goodly sum for these when they first came out know they have managed to continue to grow in collectibility and often price. I have learned it makes "good scents" to keep looking and hope to score again.

We've been covering a number of attempts by state GOP lawmakers to prevent traditionally Democratic voters from casting votes that count – including a flood of new laws requiring photo ID to vote.
But all those are nothing compared to what Pennsylvania's GOP-controlled legislature is considering: changing the state's system of apportioning electoral votes so that even if President Obama wins the state's popular vote in 2012, he'd take less than half of its electors. Nick Baumann at Mother Jones reports:
The problem for Obama, and the opportunity for Republicans, is the electoral college. Every political junkie knows that the presidential election isn't a truly national contest; it's a state-by-state fight, and each state is worth a number of electoral votes equal to the size of the state's congressional delegation. (The District of Columbia also gets three votes.) There are 538 electoral votes up for grabs; win 270, and you're the president.
Here's the rub, though: Each state gets to determine how its electoral votes are allocated. Currently, 48 states and DC use a winner-take-all system in which the candidate who wins the popular vote in the state gets all of its electoral votes. Under the Republican plan—which has been endorsed by top Republicans in both houses of the state's legislature, as well as the governor, Tom Corbett—Pennsylvania would change from this system to one where each congressional district gets its own electoral vote. (Two electoral votes—one for each of the state's two senators—would go to the statewide winner.)
This could cost Obama dearly. The GOP controls both houses of the state legislature plus the governor's mansion—the so-called "redistricting trifecta"—in Pennsylvania. Congressional district maps are adjusted after every census, and the last one just finished up. That means Pennsylvania Republicans get to draw the boundaries of the state's congressional districts without any input from Democrats. Some of the early maps have leaked to the press, and Democrats expect that the Pennsylvania congressional map for the 2012 elections will have 12 safe GOP seats compared to just 6 safe Democratic seats.
Under the Republican plan, if the GOP presidential nominee carries the GOP-leaning districts but Obama carries the state, the GOP nominee would get 12 electoral votes out of Pennsylvania, but Obama would only get eight—six for winning the blue districts, and two (representing the state's two senators) for carrying the state. This would have an effect equivalent to flipping a small winner-take-all state—say, Nevada, which has six electoral votes—from blue to red. And Republicans wouldn't even have to do any extra campaigning or spend any extra advertising dollars to do it.
Baumann adds:
Nebraska and Maine already have the system the Pennsylvania GOP is pushing. But the two states' small electoral vote values mean it's actually mathematically impossible for a candidate to win the popular vote there but lose the electoral vote, says Akhil Reed Amar, a constitutional law professor at Yale University. Pennsylvania, however, is a different story: "It might be very likely to happen in [Pennsylvania], and that's what makes this something completely new under the sun," Amar says. "It's something that no previous legislature in America since the Civil War has ever had the audacity to impose."
In theory, there's nothing wrong with apportioning electoral votes by congressional district like Maine and Nebraska do – but when the strategy is combined with political gerrymandering and applied only selectively it becomes decidedly undemocratic. That Pennsylvania Republicans are not planning to divvy up the state's electoral votes to match the percentage breakdown of the popular vote indicates that this has nothing to do with reflecting the will of the people, and everything to do with aggressive anti-democratic power plays.
The plan, though dishonest, is perfectly legal – and available to a number of large states now controlled by GOP legislatures.
The plan seems almost too convenient for the Pennsylvania GOP, but I wonder if it would backfire – suppressive laws like voter ID requirements can be hidden under made-up "voter fraud" threats, but what excuse could a legislature come up with for a plan to make every single Democratic voter in the state count for less? I'd like to think that once fair-minded Pennsylvanians get a whiff of this, they won't let their legislature get away with it.
The House Appropriations Committee convened this morning at 9:30 am to consider the DC appropriations bill that the DC subcommittee passed last week. We are currently waiting for word on whether any DC riders were added, in addition to those already included in the bill concerning reproductive freedom and public education.
As PFAW continues to wait for news, I've asked DC residents and DC rights supporters from the greater metro area to join us at Saturday's White House Rally for DC Democracy.
Dear PFAW Activist,
Washington, DC residents, who already lack voting representation in Congress, have been treated even more like second-class citizens by this Republican Congress, adding insult to injury.
Republicans used the budget deal earlier this year to attack DC home rule and District women's access to healthcare. They banned the use of local funds (NOT federal tax dollars) from being used for reproductive healthcare for low-income women.
Now, Republicans are threatening a series of "policy riders" on the DC appropriations bill for 2012 that would micro-manage the lives of DC residents from our classrooms to our safety to our health, having already passed more attacks on women's health and public education.
So much for the "party of small government."
Please join us, along with DC residents and DC rights supporters from the greater metro area, THIS SATURDAY, at 11:00am at the White House to tell President Obama to stand up for DC.
Let the president know that this attack on DC residents' fundamental rights is a deal breaker. Both he and the Democratic leadership in the Senate need to stand up for the nearly 600,000 residents of our nation's capital -- come out this Saturday and let them know it.
When: Saturday June 25, 2011, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Where: Lafayette Square (outside White House), 16th & H St NW
Metro: Farragut West (Orange & Blue lines)
Click here to RSVP with our friends at DC Vote. We hope to see you there!

PFAW and AAMIA continue to believe that enough is enough – the people of DC deserve a voice. For more information, please click here.
Rick Santorum, the former senator from Pennsylvania who announced his candidacy for president on Monday, may not have a great shot at winning the GOP nomination, but might very well succeed in moving the Republican debate on social issues even further to the right than it has already become.
Today, Think Progress caught Santorum on video expressing a truly extreme position on abortion rights. Discussing his role in bringing about the federal late-term abortion ban, Santorum dismissed exceptions meant to protect the health of the mother as "phony" and claimed that such exceptions would render the ban "ineffective":
Heartless remarks like these have earned Santorum the reputation as one of the most hard-right politicians on the national stage. Today, People For's Michael Keegan posted a retrospective of Santorum's career in the Huffington Post, writing about Santorum's history of making dehumanizing remarks about women, gays and lesbians, Muslims, and victims of sexual abuse:
Santorum has a social issues record to make the Religious Right cheer. He made a name for himself on the national scene with his attacks on gay rights, most notably in a 2003 interview comparing gay relationships with "man-on-dog" sex. (In the same interview he argued that the Constitution does not protect a right to privacy. Recently he said that allowing loving gay couples to adopt children is "trying to defy nature" and should be illegal, as should gay marriage. He says that the Obama administration's decision to stop defending the Defense of Marriage Act in federal court meant that the "free exercise of religion will be eviscerated."
Although, while in the Senate, Santorum supported the occasional pro-choice Republican, he calls Roe v. Wade a "monstrosity" and supports criminalization of abortion, which he says is the reason Social Security is in trouble. He backs right-wing attacks on funding for Planned Parenthood's family planning services, actively taking part in the right-wing propaganda campaign against Planned Parenthood. Santorum has slammed the Griswold decision, in which the Supreme Court recognized a constitutional right to privacy and overturned a state ban on contraception, as a "constitutional wrecking ball."
Santorum gave Religious Right activists a powerful tool for pushing religion into public school classrooms when he sponsored an amendment to the "No Child Left Behind" law that encouraged the teaching of intelligent design in science classes. The amendment, written in part by the creationist Discovery Institute, became a force behind creationists' bogus "teach the controversy" strategy. Santorum wrote in 2002 that "Intelligent Design is a legitimate scientific theory that should be taught in science classes." Scientists and courts disagree.
Santorum has been a severe critic of Islam from his perch at the "America's Enemies" program at the right-wing Ethics and Public Policy Center. He says Islam is incompatible with western civilization because Shariah is both a civil code and a religious code. But he also says of Christians that "it is our obligation" to make civil law in America "comport with God's laws."
Santorum has tried to get attention to his desire to be the second Catholic president by slamming the first, saying he was "appalled" by John F. Kennedy's "radical" support for the separation of church and state - a centerpiece of Kennedy's vision of America. Speaking of the Kennedys, Santorum criticized church officials for praising former senator Ted Kennedy at his funeral, saying there was "no excuse" for it and arguing that it was harmful to send the message that it was okay for Catholic politicians to dissent from church teachings.
Although Santorum has been quick to slam progressive Catholics for not hewing closely enough to the doctrine of Church hierarchy, he's shown no compunction in casting aside Church teaching when it conflicts with his extreme ideology, as he did when repeatedly supporting "enhanced interrogation" techniques like waterboarding -- which has been clearly labeled "torture" and "an intrinsic evil" by the Catholic Church. Santorum blamed the church's sex abuse scandal on the liberal political culture of Boston:
"Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm."
Former Senator Rick Santorum formally launched his bid for the White House today. Given that Santorum's last run for reelection resulted in a crushing 17-point defeat, and given that his poll numbers are still in the low single digits in spite of his having been running a de facto campaign for the past year and a half, it would seem that Santorum's race is mostly a sign of the self-deceiving wishful thinking that overtakes people who believe they are meant to be president -- or in Santorum's case, who believe God truly wants them to be president.
Indeed, Santorum's campaign has already won him enough mockery that Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist Tony Norman recently dubbed him "the Rodney Dangerfield of American politics," saying he gets "as little respect as support."
Part of Santorum's problem is simply that he comes across to many people as annoyingly self-righteous. Norman writes, "His biggest problem is that he reminds everyone, including Republicans, of the annoying kid in Sunday school who memorizes all 66 books of the Bible so he can recite them in reverse order for the old ladies at church." In 2009, as Santorum's plans to run were becoming more apparent, journalist Matthew Cooper wrote, "My favorite Santorum anecdote actually comes from Bob Kerrey. After Santorum denounced Sen. Mark Hatfield, the Oregon Republican, for his opposition to the balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, the Nebraska Democrat was asked what he thought. 'Santorum, that's Latin for a--hole.'"
Fans on the Far Right
In spite of Santorum's huge negatives, he has his cheerleaders among right-wing activists and pundits who think he could still emerge from the unimpressive GOP pack.
Last month, right-wing Catholic activist Keith Fournier published a column that was essentially a mash note, declaring Santorum the winner of the South Carolina debate, calling his demeanor "Kennedy-esque," and gushing that Santorum's "courage to lead" is "what this Nation needs."
In February, columnist George Will praised Santorum as a "relentless ethicist" and said the GOP needs someone who can energize social conservatives who "are feeling neglected and are looking for someone like Santorum." To those who thought his loss would make him unelectable, Will asks, "Well, was Richard Nixon defunct after losing the California gubernatorial race in 1962?" I wonder if Santorum welcomed that comparison.
In January, when Santorum was criticized for slamming Obama's support for abortion in racial terms -- saying, "I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say 'now we are going to decide who are people and who are not people'" -- The National Review's Kathryn Jean Lopez praised Santorum for raising the issue of abortion in the black community.
The Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody also praised Santorum back in January, before Brody's crush on Donald Trump burst into full flower.
Love him or hate him, let's be clear about Rick Santorum. He doesn't hold back. He doesn't mince words and conservative Christians and Catholics find this quality to be his best attribute. If and when he dives into the 2012 GOP mosh pit, he's going to be the guy that won't hold back and in the process he'll put some of these other 2012 contenders on the spot by bringing up issues that everybody whispers about but rarely talks about in public.
Hard Right Record
Santorum's far-right rhetoric and policy positions are what keep hope alive among some of his supporters. He is campaigning as a hard-right candidate who can appeal to every stripe of conservative. And he certainly has the record to back up that claim.
Speaking to a Tea Party gathering in February, Santorum embraced an extreme view of the constitutional separation of powers and the role of the federal judiciary, reportedly saying that Congress has the power and the right to declare what is constitutional or not. He said Congress has the power to disband the federal courts and that "I would sign a bill tomorrow to eliminate the 9th Circuit [Court of Appeals]. That court is rogue. It's a pox on the western part of our country." He told the Conservative Political Action Conference in February that "America belongs to God" and the judiciary has no right to "redefine" life or marriage.
He's a fierce critic of federal health care reform legislation, saying it will "destroy the country," portraying it as the equivalent of drug dealing and telling a group of Christians that getting hooked on health care would make them "less than what God created you to be." He has said that "if Obamacare is actually implemented," then "America as we know it will be no more."
Today, after he announced his candidacy, Santorum declared that American troops at D-Day had been fighting for Rep. Paul Ryan's plan to effectively end Medicare. "Those Americans risked everything so they could make that decision on their health care plan," he said.
He pushes the Tea Party's small-government ideology, saying the problems in the housing industry will be resolved by "getting regulators to back off" and letting the markets work their magic. Similarly, he says the answer to creating jobs is to get rid of all the government intervention that he believes is strangling businesses -- health care reform, financial regulation, the Environmental Protection Agency, and more.
In a bid to salvage his sinking 2006 reelection campaign, Santorum turned to bashing immigration reform and "amnesty" for illegal immigrants.
Santorum has a social issues record to make the Religious Right cheer. He made a name for himself on the national scene with his attacks on gay rights, most notably in a 2003 interview comparing gay relationships with "man-on-dog" sex.

Obama as Enemy
At least one columnist has suggested that Santorum is angling for a VP spot, where he would serve as the GOP campaign's attack dog. He has repeatedly demonstrated his willingness to savage President Obama in the most extreme terms. Obama he says, does not have "a love of this country and an understanding of the basic values and wants and desires of its people." If Obama is reelected, he says, "Democracy and freedom will disappear." Santorum says Obama's talk about his faith is "phony" because the president, like other liberal Christians, has "abandoned Christendom" and has no "right to claim it." In fact, he says, Obama and "the left" are actively seeking to "destroy the family and destroy the Church" because that is the only way they can "be successful in getting socialism to be accepted in this country and that's what their objective is." During the 2008 campaign, Santorum was declared one of Keith Olbermann's "Worst Persons in the World" for continuing to spread the right-wing lie that Obama "won't wear the American flag pin."
When President Obama criticized cable news, Santorum ridiculously portrayed it as a prelude to tyrannical censorship: "This reminds me of what Hugo Chavez is doing down in Venezuela, trying to shut down the voice of opposition in the media." He says Obama "doesn't believe in the foundational principles that made this country great, which is limited government and free people." He said his own grandfather came from fascist Italy to a country that would allow him to be free: "That's the kind of change we need in Washington, DC."
In an April 28, 2011 foreign policy speech at the National Press Club, Santorum declared that "unlike President Obama I believe we were a great country even before the Great Society Programs of the 1960s." He went on to say, "Freedom has been our watchword, our anchor and our moral guide for nearly every cause both here and abroad. But today we have lost this mission because our president doesn't believe in it." After another (now-GOP-requisite) slam on Obama for not believing in American exceptionalism, Santorum slammed Obama for not doing more to support protesters in Iran: "We sided with evil because our president believes our enemies are legitimately aggrieved and thus we have no standing to intervene." Last year Santorum reportedly told a Pennsylvania crowd "that Obama seeks to make the United States like Europe, a continent whose citizens have turned their backs on faith and grown selfish, and where governments bestow rights upon the citizenry, rather than a place where all are born with God-given rights."
Violating Reagan's 11th Commandment
One reason Santorum might not be very popular in spite of his reliably right-wing record is that he is a habitual violator of Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment. Santorum seems quite happy to speak ill of his fellow Republicans. He has slammed Romney as "Obama's running mate" (a reference to Romney's support for health care reform in Massachusetts) and criticized Newt Gingrich for criticizing Paul Ryan.
During the 2008 campaign, he repeatedly criticized John McCain. After pledging that he would never support McCain, he tepidly endorsed him after Sarah Palin joined the ticket. Santorum even wrote a snide column after McCain's loss predicting (wrongly) that McCain would seek historical redemption by leading the charge in Congress to help Obama move his agenda.
One of Santorum's less-successful slams on a fellow Republican came when he criticized Sarah Palin for not attending the Conservative Political Action Conference and suggested that her duties as a mom to five kids may have made her too busy. Palin in turn suggested that Santorum might be a "knuckle-dragging Neanderthal."
God's Candidate?
Santorum sees politics in spiritual terms. He says that government gets bigger and more intrusive without a "moral consensus" to guide society. In 2008 he told faculty and students at right-wing Ave Maria University, "This is not a political war, it is not a cultural war; it's a spiritual war." Santorum suggested that his opponents were agents of Satan: "The Father of Lies has his sights on what you would think the Father of Lies would have his sights on -- a good, decent, powerful, influential country: the United States of America." He warned the students that if they signed up for God's army, "you'll be ridiculed and you'll lose most if not every one of your battles. But you know who's going to win in the end, so you warrior on happily."
The Campaign Limps Along
Last spring, Santorum said he saw "an opening for someone who can unite the various primary factions -- economic libertarians, party establishment types and cultural conservatives," according to CBS News' Marc Ambinder. But after more than a year of campaigning, Santorum is polling at just two percent among Republicans.
Santorum is unfazed, saying that his poor showing in national polls is only because he's focusing on important early states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, where he won a GOP straw poll earlier this year. Though to keep that win in perspective, Santorum was the only candidate to show up to the GOP dinner and took 150 votes out of the 408 cast.

It's hard to predict what could happen in the GOP primary, but at this point, Santorum's barely-limping-along campaign seems in need of divine intervention.
Justices Clarence Thomas, joined by Justice Antonin Scalia, issued an interesting dissent yesterday to the Supreme Court's decision not to hear a challenge to a federal law making it a federal crime for a convicted felon to buy, own, or possess body armor (such as a bullet-proof vest) that had ever been sold in interstate or international commerce, even if the felon himself did not obtain it through interstate or international commerce. Congress passed the law as an exercise of the power granted it by the Constitution's Commerce Clause.
The rejected challenge in Alderman v. U.S. asserted that Congress had gone beyond the power granted to it by the Commerce Clause - the same argument that opponents of the landmark healthcare reform legislation have made. Since the constitutionality of the healthcare law under the Commerce Clause will likely be decided by the Supreme Court, Thomas and Scalia's dissent in this case may be a window into how they will rule in that case.
The Los Angeles Times gives one interpretation of the Court's decision:
The Supreme Court may not be so anxious to rein in Congress' broad power to pass regulatory laws under the Constitution's commerce clause, the key point of dispute in the pending court battles over President Obama's health insurance law. ...
The majority's decision, rendered without comment, could make it more difficult for those challenging health insurance reform to win court orders overturning parts of the new law. ...
Thomas referred to a pair of decisions, beginning in 1995, in which the court's conservatives, led by Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, sought to put clearer limits on Congress' power. ...
But since Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. arrived in 2005, the court has not moved to restrain federal power.
A Justice can have any number of reasons for not wanting to hear a case — perhaps the Justice agrees with the lower court, or the issue is not important enough, or the facts of the case make it an inconvenient vehicle to discuss the legal issue, or there has not yet been enough debate among the circuit courts. As in this case, the public rarely knows why the Court voted not to grant cert.
For any of the Justices to voice their disagreement when cert is denied is unusual, and it suggests that they feel strongly about the issue at stake. In the body armor case, Justices Thomas and Scalia wrote:
Today the Court tacitly accepts the nullification of our recent Commerce Clause jurisprudence. Joining other Circuits, the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [uses reasoning that] threatens the proper limits on Congress' commerce power and may allow Congress to exercise police powers that our Constitution reserves to the States. ...
[The lower courts' interpretation of the Commerce Clause] seems to permit Congress to regulate or ban possession of any item that has ever been offered for sale or crossed state lines. Congress arguably could outlaw the theft of a Hershey kiss from a corner store in Youngstown, Ohio, by a neighborhood juvenile on the basis that the candy once traveled to the store from Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Such an expansion of federal authority would trespass on traditional state police powers. We always have rejected readings of the Commerce Clause and the scope of federal power that would permit Congress to exercise a police power.
While the dissent addresses this case alone, the fact that they issued it may reflect a strong desire to limit the scope of the Commerce Clause across the board. That would likely have an impact on the healthcare case when it reaches the Supreme Court. It may also signal their willingness to strike down acts of Congress that would unquestionably have been found constitutional in the past.
Historically, the Commerce Clause has been one of the most powerful tools that the American people have to impose reasonable regulations on giant corporations — and to hold them accountable when they do wrong. Justices Thomas and Scalia have been reliable supporters of Big Business on the Corporate Court. Any narrowing of the scope of the Commerce Clause needs to be viewed with caution.
In his farewell speech, US Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania called on Congress to move quickly to counter the burgeoning right-wing extremism of the Roberts Court and the Republican caucus. Specter, who was first elected to the US Senate in 1980 as a Republican, spoke about how the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Roberts has shown little respect for their own precedents or congressional fact-finding while pursuing a hard line pro-corporate bent. The increasingly conservative Court has consistently ruled in favor of corporations over the rights of workers and consumers, and the concerns of environmental protection and fair elections. Specter specifically pointed to the Roberts Court's decision in Citizens United, which gave corporations the right to spend unlimited and undisclosed funds from their general treasuries in elections and overturned decades of Court precedents and congressional measures limiting corporate influence in politics. Specter said:
This Congress should try to stop the Supreme Court from further eroding the constitutional mandate of Separation of Powers. The Supreme Court has been eating Congress's lunch by invalidating legislation with judicial activism after nominees commit under oath in confirmation proceedings to respect congressional fact finding and precedents, that is stare decisis.
The recent decision in Citizens United is illustrative: ignoring a massive congressional record and reversing recent decisions, Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito repudiated their confirmation testimony, given under oath, and provided the key votes to permit corporations and unions to secretly pay for political advertising, thus effectively undermining the basic democratic principle of the power of one person, one vote.
Chief Roberts promised to just "call balls and strikes," and then he moved the bases.
Specter also blasted Republican obstructionism in the Senate. He said that even though 59 Senators backed ending debate on the DISCLOSE Act, which would have required groups to publicly disclose their donors, the important bill never received an up-or-down vote due to Republican procedural moves:
Repeatedly, senior Republican Senators have recently abandoned long held positions out of fear of losing their seats over a single vote or because of party discipline. With 59 votes for cloture on this side of the aisle, not a single Republican would provide the sixtieth vote for many important legislative initiatives, such as identifying campaign contributors to stop secret contributions.
The Pennsylvanian later criticized the GOP for preventing judicial nominees from also having up-or-down votes:
Important positions are left open for months, but the Senate agenda today is filled with un-acted upon judicial and executive nominees. And many of those judicial nominees are in areas where there is an emergency backlog.
When discussing how Senate Republican leaders, such as Jim DeMint (R-SC), supported ultraconservative candidates against Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Bob Bennett (R-UT), and Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE), Specter condemned the GOP's embrace of "right-wing extremists," adding: "Eating or defeating your own is a form of sophisticated cannibalism."
People For the American Way attended today's enrollment ceremony for the Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal bill. Representatives and Senators stood alongside those discharged under this discriminatory policy to formally send the bill to President Obama for his signing. Each should be commended for their dedication to this cause, especially Representative Patrick Murphy (D-PA8), a veteran himself and the lead House sponsor of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010. From CNN:
Earlier, Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy of Pennsylvania told the gathering of an e-mail he received from a company commander in Afghanistan, who mentioned how he often had to counsel soldiers who received divorce papers or "Dear John" letters from spouses or opposite-sex partners.
Murphy continued: "This young company commander, this captain, on his fourth deployment, wrote in that e-mail saying, 'I never thought I'd see the day when I got one of those letters myself. And I'm sitting here at three o'clock in the morning in Kabul, Afghanistan, and I have no where to go because I happen to be gay, and I can't walk to the chaplain, and I can't go to a battle buddy, and I can't walk to my commander's office, so I'm sitting here cradling my 9 mm pistol thinking about blowing my brains out. But I read this article about this Iraq war veteran named Patrick Murphy from Pennsylvania that's fighting for me, and it gives me hope.'"
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD5) had this to say about the American promise of equality for all.
Perhaps the most memorable sound bites came from, as they often do, Representative Barney Frank (D-MA4).
This one, in particular.
For those who are worried about the radial homosexual agenda, let me put them on notice – two down, two to go.
Representative Frank's message is simple.
LGBT equality advocates aren't working some nefarious plot. What the Right labels as radical isn't radical at all. It's about fairness, freedom, and the Constitution. It's about core values and fundamental rights that all Americans, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, hold dear and should enjoy.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which spent $75 million to help elect pro-corporate candidates to Congress this year, benefits from the positive image most Americans have of its smaller member organizations—city and county chambers that organize locally run businesses. But now, some of these member organizations are saying they want no part in the U.S. Chamber's massive attack ad buys on behalf of Republican candidates. From Politico, via Washington Monthly:
"We were getting pounded. We felt here, in central Pennsylvania, that the ads they were running were not professional ads," said David Wise, president of the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County, which is considering dropping its national membership. "This was not a unifying event. It was divisive."
More than 40 local chambers issued statements during the midterms distancing themselves from the U.S. Chamber's campaign — including nearly every major local chamber in Iowa and New Hampshire, key states for the presidential campaign.
Other chambers plan to take the extraordinary step of ending their affiliation with the U.S. Chamber, including the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce in Pennsylvania. Its leaders reported being inundated with angry — and sometimes profanity-laced — telephone calls from people objecting to the U.S. Chamber-backed ads.
Some local chambers were also active in countering the U.S. Chamber's claims in the run-up to the election. According to Politico, "In Iowa, Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley survived an onslaught of U.S. Chamber attack ads in part because he circulated disclaimers issued by his local chambers."
Though the U.S. Chamber benefits from the appearance of representing local business associations throughout the country, the numbers show that individual associations and the small businesses they represent hold very little sway over the U.S. Chamber's national political activities. A New York Times investigation in October found that the U.S. Chamber, which does not have to publically disclose its donors, received half of its 2008 contributions from just 45 donors—large companies like Dow Chemical and Prudential Financial that have strong lobbying interests on Capitol Hill.
The Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. FEC this year allowed companies like Dow and Prudential to funnel money through the U.S. Chamber not only toward lobbying efforts but toward campaign advertising—all while hiding behind the positive image of hundreds of thousands of small businesses who may or may not agree with their legislative priorities. And without strong disclosure legislation, they'll doubtless continue to do so.
The Republican Party's virulently anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies are far from mere political tactics, as GOP members of Congress usher in a radical agenda to rollback the rights of immigrants and their families. Iowa Rep. Steve King, who has appeared with violent vigilante groups and has referred to undocumented immigration as both a "slow-motion Holocaust" and a "slow-motion terrorist attack," is set to chair the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on immigration. Members of the House Republican Freshman Class, including Pennsylvania's Tom Marino and Florida's Allen West, frequently used immigrant-bashing in their campaigns, and Louisiana Senator David Vitter made demonizing immigrants the cornerstone of his reelection campaign.
Two new reports today demonstrate how extreme the Republican Party is moving to not only oppose immigration reform but also to undermine one of the most important protections guaranteed by the US Constitution:
GOP Rep. Steve King of Iowa, the incoming chairman of the subcommittee that oversees immigration, is expected to push a bill that would deny "birthright citizenship" to such children.
The measure, assailed by critics as unconstitutional, is an indication of how the new majority intends to flex its muscles on the volatile issue of illegal immigration.
The idea has a growing list of supporters, including Republican Reps. Tom McClintock of Elk Grove and Dan Lungren of Gold River, but it has aroused intense opposition, as well.
"I don't like it," said Chad Silva, statewide policy analyst for the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California. "It's been something that's been a part of America for a very long time. … For us, it sort of flies in the face of what America is about."
Republicans are also gearing up to defeat the DREAM Act, which would allow students and military servicemembers who came into the country illegally as children and have a clean criminal record to gain a pathway to citizenship. Even though the DREAM Act has historically garnered bipartisan support, Politico reports that Republicans on the Hill are trying to deceptively tar the bill as amnesty for criminals:
Already, GOP staffers have begun circulating to senators and conservative groups a white paper outlining what they see as the social and financial costs of passing the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act.
"In addition to immediately putting an estimated 2.1 million illegal immigrants (including certain criminal aliens) on a path to citizenship, the DREAM Act would give them access to in-state tuition rates at public universities, federal student loans and federal work-study programs," said the research paper, being distributed by Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The bill's backers, though, say it outlines a "rigorous and lengthy process" for legalization, hardly the amnesty plan that opponents have depicted.
Eligible immigrants must have entered the U.S. before age 16, have been in the country for at least five consecutive years before the bill's enactment and been at least under age 35 at the time of enactment; been admitted to a college or earned a high-school diploma or GED certificate; and have no serious criminal record.
A recent Rasmussen poll found that a majority of Americans believe that "children brought to the U.S. illegally should get a chance at citizenship if they complete two years of college or participate in the military," and military leaders have called on Congress to pass the DREAM Act as a way to strengthen the country's armed forces. A study by UCLA's North American Integration and Development Center states that the DREAM Act both "offers a moral solution to the trap of being a young, motivated, undocumented immigrant in the U.S." and is "an economically sensible piece of legislation that advances the interests of U.S. society as a whole."
However, the extreme anti-immigrant sentiment that is pervasive within the GOP stands in the way of reasonable efforts at reform, and even leads to radical legislation that challenges the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution.
While American Crossroads as a 527 group is mandated by law to disclose its donors, its sister 501c4 "social welfare" group, Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (GPS), is allowed to keep its sources of funding a secret to the public. In October Politico reported that "most of the GOP corporate money is believed to be moving through the Crossroad Grassroots group, so that it isn't disclosed publicly," even as American Crossroads was publicly listing the millions of dollars it received from corporations. Now, NBC News has uncovered how Wall Street played a major role in funding the shadowy Crossroads GPS organization:
A tightly coordinated effort by outside Republican groups, spearheaded by Karl Rove and fueled by tens of millions of dollars in contributions from Wall Street hedge fund moguls and other wealthy donors, helped secure big GOP midterm victories Tuesday, according to campaign spending figures and Republican fundraising insiders.
A substantial portion of Crossroads GPS' money came from a small circle of extremely wealthy Wall Street hedge fund and private equity moguls, according to GOP fundraising sources who spoke with NBC News on condition of anonymity. These donors have been bitterly opposed to a proposal by congressional Democrats — and endorsed by the Obama administration — to increase the tax rates on compensation that hedge funds pay their partners, the sources said.
Clearly, "extremely wealthy Wall Street hedge fund and private equity moguls" wanted to keep their influence a secret as Crossroads GPS engineered a massive television and direct mail ad campaign.
Some of the ads by the Crossroads groups, however, bashed the government bailouts of Wall Street which many-believed saved the financial industry. Even though the bailouts were signed by President Bush and had support from members of both parties, including the Republican leadership, Crossroads attempted to link the Wall Street bailouts into its anti-government ads criticizing Obama and Democrats. Here are just a few examples:
In Nevada, Crossroads GPS' ad says that "instead of fixing these problems Harry Reid's made it worse," and includes in the "Wall Street bailout" in the list of Reid's supposed wrongdoings.
When criticizing Pennsylvania's Joe Sestak, this Crossroad GPS ad says that Sestak is a "reckless" spender by supporting "bailouts for banks" as part of the "$700 Billion Wall Street Bailout," saying that it was part of "trillions of dollars wasted."
In this ad against Indiana Democrat Joe Donnelly, who barely edged out his Republican opponent, American Crossroads slams the "Joe Donnelly Wall St. Bailout" and slams "their bailouts, raising our debt."
Yesterday's vote does not mean the end for the many Super PACs and shadowy political organizations that have emerged this election season. By raising hundreds of millions of dollars from individuals and corporations, often without having to disclose their sources of funding, these groups are able to maintain their political apparatus and prepare for the 2012 election. American Crossroads, the Karl Rove-linked Super PAC, is already crafting its role for the next election. Mike Duncan, the former head of the Republican National Committee and Chair of American Crossroads, told the New York Times, "We've planted the flag for permanence, and we believe that we will play a major role for 2012."
Back in September, Time magazine discussed how pro-GOP groups such as American Crossroads and the American Action Network were working with Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, the former RNC chief and current head of the Republican Governors Association. Republican notables and fundraisers "first convened at Karl Rove's home," and became nicknamed "the Weaver Terrace group, named for the Washington street on which Rove lives." American Crossroads and its sister group Crossroads GPS, which does not disclose its donors, spent over $38 million combined to attack Democrats, and the American Action Network spent close to $20 million this year.
Now with the election over, Politico reveals that pro-GOP groups, the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Republican Congressional Committee (an official Republican Party wing) were intensely coordinating their political efforts. Other Weaver Terrace group members, such as the 60 Plus Association and the American Future Fund, spent tens of millions of dollars against Democrats, but the US Chamber of Commerce and the NRCC made even bigger expenditures, spending $31.7 million and $44.5 million, respectively. As Jeanne Cummings of Politico described how "coordinated attacks" by Weaver Terrace group members "turned political campaigns largely into contests between business-backed, GOP outside groups and the Democratic incumbents." Pro-GOP outside groups spent $187 million in 2010, more than double their pro-Democratic counterparts, and Cummings reveals how the organizations collaborated in order to maximize their impact:
The groups – including familiar names like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and American Crossroads – shared their target lists and TV-time data to ensure vulnerable Democrats got the full brunt of GOP spending.
Republican groups had never coordinated like this before, participants said, and backed by millions in corporate cash and contributions by secret donors, they were able to wield outsized influence on the results Tuesday night. The joint efforts were designed to spread the damage to as many of the majority Democrats as possible, without wasting money by doubling-up in races where others were already playing.
The National Republican Congressional Committee, which could not legally coordinate with the outside groups, even took the extraordinary step of publicly revealing its own ad buy strategy.
The Chamber, which set aside $75 million in undisclosed corporate donations for the political season, is listed by Center for Responsive Politics as the biggest of independent players, investing nearly $33 million in radio, television and direct mail advertising alone.
Directly behind the Chamber on the Center's outside group ranking is the coalition of groups formed by Rove and Gillespie. They are: American Action Network, which spent $26 million; American Crossroads, which invested $21 million, and Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies, which sank $17 million into ads and turnout communications in a plan to obliterate the Democrats' Senate and House majorities.
Although donors to the Crossroads affiliates are largely unknown, the founders made no secret of the fact that they intended to take advantage of the Supreme Court ruling and tap into the vast resources of corporate America to raise more than $50 million help Republicans retake the Congress.
While that sum alone was enough to make Democrats' nervous, the Crossroads founders also set out a more ambitious goal: To bring together the disparate new and old GOP political players so they could coordinate their efforts and maximize the damage on the political battlefield.
Cummings also shows how this plan worked out over the airways in competitive congressional districts:
In Pennsylvania, the Republican groups called in multiple players to bombard a half-dozen House Democrats, including some facing significantly underfunded Republican opponents. In the quest to oust Democrat Chris Carney, 60 Plus and the Chamber combined to spend about $1 million. The 60 Plus Association teamed up with the Center for Individual Freedom, another group that doesn't disclose donors, to shell incumbent Democrat Rep. Paul Kanjorski with more than $600,000 worth of ads.
The close collaboration of pro-corporate groups only increases the need for greater transparency in the political process. Americans this election have seen dozens if not hundreds of ads and received substantial amounts of direct mail and phone calls from groups who reveal little information about themselves and do not have to disclose their sources of funding. Voters deserve the right to know who is working towards the election or defeat certain candidates for office, and overwhelmingly support disclosure laws. As such organizations creating new partnerships and intensifying their coordination, Congress needs to pass the DISCLOSE Act to allow the public to know who is behind these outside groups.
Reports continue to pour in of the Right Wing's voter-fraud fraud and voter suppression related to today's election. I wanted to make sure you'd seen some of the stories that haven't yet made it into our reports.

WTCC General Manager Marcello Lotti comments the past season and looks at the future evolutions of the World Championship.
"After eleven years under the same set of rules a face-lifting was needed, and we were pleased that the FIA President Jean Todt was sharing this view and has been the first one to embrace the cause. The original idea was to change in 2015, but then we decided to advance the application to 2014, on the wave of the interest shown by new manufacturers and also because the brands currently represented are about to launch new model cars that may be homologated in 2014.
We are not talking of a new generation of cars, but of a technical evolution of the Super 2000 that were launched back in 2002. The basic points are an increase of power and sound, a reduction of weight, bigger wheels and a more aggressive look. Then, in order to avoid a stream of requests for technical waivers, more freedom will be granted in the suspension homologation. Further implementations will be studied for a later application, such as the 'push to pass' and a common hybrid system. The FIA and the manufacturers are working on the final draft of the that will be finalized by the end of January and submitted to the World Motor Sport Council in March.
It will be a natural evolution in the respect of the spirit of touring cars racing that must remain based on the identification of the racing car with the production car it comes from. Someone will be happy, considering this as a simple updating of the championship, someone will disagree, claiming that an increase of costs will follow. However, I believe that Super 2000 proved that the FIA is capable to maintain the stability of technical regulations for a long period. And their efforts, joined with ours, made also possible to keep the costs stable. This evolution will continue to keep the running costs under control, however in the beginning investments on the new cars will be requested. And I can grant that, like it happens every time a motor sport series is undergoing a technical evolution, we will study a way to assure a balanced cohabitation between the current and the new cars."

7Five Crafty Ways to Upcycle Mesh Produce Bags
There are two times each year (once when the local onions are at their peak (and therefore at their cheapest), and once when the non-local oranges are also in-season somewhere) when our family seems to have plastic mesh produce bags coming out of our ears. Unlike the paper or even the occasional plastic bags that end up with us that we easily re-use or recycle, these mesh produce bags seem to have no other destination but the trash.
If you do a little research, however, which I was eventually fed up enough to do, you will discover that plastic mesh produce bags are an excellent crafting material. They're versatile, easy to craft with, and can be used for a variety of durable and useful projects. There are tons of projects around that use these bags, and tons more that I know you'll invent for yourself, but here are five exceptionally good craft projects to get you started:
My little girl was desperate for one of those puffy polyester clown wigs before I made her this colorful yarn clown wig from a mesh produce bag. She was thrilled! With a latch hook and the right color of stash yarn, you can make a wig for your own little Rapunzels and Pippi Longstockings, and every other hairstyle in between.
