Rachel Griffiths tells Sunday Style's Clare Press she knows what she wants and how to get it
- From: Sunday Style
- August 03, 2014
MOST movie stars like to keep their suitably starry distance.
They wouldn't dream of interacting with the media, or the fans, without a phalanx of handlers to protect them.
Often journos must do battle with entire armies of publicists, agents, managers and personal hairstylists before they get to say boo to the golden goose.
So it's rather fabulous that Rachel Griffiths arrives at the Sunday Style shoot entourage-free.
It's tempting to read her as over-the-top ballsy, but would we draw the same conclusion if it were a man coming on strong and self-assured?
She wore them while filming the Nine Network's hit drama House Husbands recently — "I zip about in them; they never hurt").
She opens her own doors and orders her own coffee.
Then she introduces herself to everyone with a handshake to rival Mark Latham's, takes a seat by the mirror and proceeds to make up her own finely boned face.
Griffiths is a woman who knows exactly how she likes to play her role.
In this instance, that means curling her own eyelashes and deciding which blouse she wants to wear with which jacket, thank you very much.
Not earth-shattering stuff, but important to her.
"This," she says, bypassing the stylist to flick swiftly through a rack of beautiful clothes in the dressing room. "This. Not this. No. No. Yes."
From such a first encounter with Griffiths, it's tempting to read her as over-the-top ballsy, but would we draw the same conclusion if it were a man coming on strong and self-assured?
As Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg says, let's ban the word 'bossy'.
Why shouldn't Griffiths have some say over how she looks in pictures?
You could argue she's earned the right, by virtue of being an Oscar nominee, and having acted in big-budget flicks with Cameron Diaz and Emma Thompson, or simply because she is a national treasure, thanks to that ABBA dancing in Muriel's Wedding.
Two years ago, she and Taylor decided that struggle was one they, as a family, didn't want to deal with any more.
But I think it also might be because Griffiths has had to get used to being something of a drill sergeant in order to get on at a very visceral level.
From 2002, she spent a decade in LA, juggling "16-hour days" on television sets (for Emmy magnets Six Feet Under and Brothers & Sisters) with raising three young kids: Banjo, now 10, Adelaide, nine, and Clementine, five.
Yes, Griffiths had her husband, artist Andrew Taylor, by her side, but TV at this level is no stroll in the park.
"It's for marathon runners," she says, "and you don't get to the finishing line without being tremendously organised."
A cook and a nanny were a necessity. "I guess you could say I outsourced a lot of the baby stuff," adds Griffiths.
"But it gets harder as [the children] get older — they want you in a different way. So that's a real juggle."
Two years ago, she and Taylor decided that struggle was one they, as a family, didn't want to deal with any more.
Griffiths tells me her idea of heaven is to have 'really non-structured time with the kids': they play Monopoly or charades, 'or just go for a walk'.
So they moved home to Melbourne, where they both grew up. Was the move about working less?
"It's about working differently," she says. "I just think there was a lack of …" she pauses, before finding the right word, "availability on my part. You're learning tremendous amounts of dialogue for TV so, yes, you've got the weekend with your children but, you know, you've got 80 pages to learn for the next week and you want to be on top of that, otherwise you're a bad actor. You can't win."
Then there's Taylor, who, for a time, allowed his own career to slow to support Griffiths in hers.
He had a solo exhibition at Sydney's Olsen Irwin gallery in February.
"For me, the only way I can be a good enough [mother and wife] is to not be consistently working 50 or 60-hour weeks," she says.
Which means telly? "Which means longrunning American telly."
Later, when the shoot is wrapped and we sit down to yak for a good hour without a minder in sight, Griffiths tells me her idea of heaven is to have "really non-structured time with the kids": they play Monopoly or charades, "or just go for a walk".
I like comfortable, well-made clothes — classics I can live my life in, you know? The red carpet is not real life. Women have stuff to do! We want to get moving.
She says that last bit dreamily as if it conjures Elysian fields, though you get the impression that, for all the talk, Griffiths would go nuts if she sat still for too long.
"I'm in a project phase," she says. "There are a few things bubbling away."
Right now she's in Sydney on Sportscraft business.
Griffiths joins fellow womenswear ambassadors — and iconic Aussies — Ita Buttrose, Kylie Kwong, Gracie Otto and Samantha Harris in helping the Australian brand celebrate its centenary this year.
"One of the lovely things about the [Sportscraft campaign] is its broad remit," she says.
"It's not just a bunch of 20-year-old white Anglo-Saxons. It's telling a story about who Australians are. I think they made a really conscious decision and I admire them for it."
You probably saw the campaign; Griffiths got to model Sportscraft's classic double-breasted trench, which, she says, is very her.
"I like comfortable, well-made clothes — classics I can live my life in, you know? The red carpet is not real life. Women have stuff to do! We want to get moving."
Acting, parenting, modelling, filmmaking and we haven't even got to the politicking yet.
Can you keep up? There's talk of Griffiths directing episodes of a local TV show (she won't say which one) and she's working on her first feature as a director, a coming-of-age movie set in the modelling world — think Mean Girls on the runway.
When asked by a journalist at the time what inspired her antics, she famously said: 'If I didn't flash my tits, you wouldn't have put me in the paper!'
In June, she acted in a tiny-budget docudrama about Holocaust victim Etty Hillesum, "because you can never stop telling those stories", and snuck in three days on the blockbuster The Moon and the Sun, which was filming in Melbourne over the winter.
That's the sci-f-historical-romance-mermaid movie based on Vonda N. McIntyre's cult book that stars Pierce Brosnan and Louis Vuitton muse Fan Bingbing.
Griffiths plays the Abbess — "please don't go on about it, it's just a little cameo," she says, though she does show me a pic of herself in her wimple and habit on her phone (she looks terrifying).
What else? There's a lot of buzz around the upcoming telemovie Stalking Julia, based on Kerry-Anne Walsh's book The Stalking of Julia Gillard: How the Media and Team Rudd Brought Down the Prime Minister; Griffiths plays our embattled former prime minister (I ask her to do the voice; she declines).
House Husbands is still on our screens, of course.
Meanwhile, Griffiths has signed on for World War I drama Deadline Gallipoli with Sam Worthington (aka Mr Lara Bingle).
It starts shooting at the end of the year.
Oh, and Griffiths and Taylor are midway through renovating.
"It's a nightmare; you know how it is!" she says. "I keep shouting at everyone."
Maybe the control thing also comes down to Griffiths's personality.
She is, it's fair to say, strident of both opinion and action. This is the woman who, in 1997, stripped from the waist up to protest at the opening of Melbourne's Crown Casino.
She was a guest at the party, and arrived in a kimono before whipping it off and going a bit wild.
When asked by a journalist at the time what inspired her antics, she famously said: "If I didn't flash my tits, you wouldn't have put me in the paper!"
She also accused the then-Victorian government of "raping our state of its dignity, compassion and sense of community".
Griffiths can be scary when she wants to be.
Rachel Griffiths really shouldn't have dropped that acid before the show. #qanda— Joe Hildebrand (@Joe_Hildebrand) March 24, 2014
We're chatting about her appearance on ABC panel show Q&A in March, and how her candid comments about women in politics caused a fuss on Twitter (@Joe_Hildebrand: "Rachel Griffiths really shouldn't have dropped acid before the show"), when I segue to asking how she feels about playing Gillard.
"We're not going to talk about that," she says.
"Um, why not?" I venture. "It is pretty interesting stuff."
"There's nothing more to say."
Later, she does open up. Has she read Walsh's book? "Yes, it's great. That's one part of our film, not the be-all and end-all. I think we are going to have a very well-researched thesis that might be slightly different from that.
"Definitely a core theme [of the movie] is how we respond to women in power, and how the parliament and the press gallery react to that, and whether all that makes for a welcoming environment for women."
Well, we know it doesn't. "Agree."
Presumably that annoys her? "I get cross that some very talented women I know who would be brilliant in public office have been approached and are consciously saying no. When they add it all up — the hours, the culture, and when [for example] a girl can't make a vote on the floor because she has to breastfeed and her vote doesn't count, and she can't send in a proxy — it doesn't make sense."
Griffiths also says she finds "the tone of the Westminster system not conducive to either problem-solving or getting on in a bipartisan way.
It's based on [British private schools] Eton and Harrow debating each other across a wooden bench; it's very old-fashioned, especially from a woman's perspective."
So, does she believe Gillard had a rotten time of it? "Of course."
And having lived in the US so long, does she reckon there's more sexism in Aussie politics than elsewhere?
"I think, from surveys I've read about how female journos often feel they are the victims of sexism, it's higher," she says.
"I read an extraordinary survey … that showed Australia was well down the list of best places to be a working woman. It was all empirical — it's not my opinion.
I do think we are more egalitarian than America; there is more equality. The middle classes here have done slightly better over the past 15 years than [they have in] America.
"It was based on pay, on promotion, on family-friendly policies, on some areas still being culturally anti-female. But there are issues everywhere for working mums. I came to motherhood quite late.
"Career-wise, I'm at the point where I really need to be leaning in," she says.
Griffiths turned 45 in December. "It's interesting. I have friends [at a similar stage] who are lawyers and they're like, 'Do I go partner now?'
But because they've had children in their forties, it's a tough question.
You know, do I step up? Do I load the plate?"
We start talking about what's great about Australia, because Griffiths is "really loving being here", and she rattles off a list that includes the beach and bodysurfing and "friends and family ties", but then it's back to the serious stuff.
"I do think we are more egalitarian than America; there is more equality. The middle classes here have done slightly better over the past 15 years than [they have in] America.
"I like that we have safety nets. I think it's right that if you have a child who has a disability or you get sick, or you're doing it tough, there are resources to take care of those families. That said, we seem to be slowly dismantling those …"
Perhaps the answer is to go into politics herself?
"Oh, I don't think so," she laughs.
"But we do need more women at the top, and our girls do need more strong female role models.
Adelaide said to me the other day, 'Why do they only show boys' sports on television? It's annoying!' And that's out of the mouth of an eight-year-old.
"Then she went to see [animated movie] Planes, and again she was really annoyed that there was only one female character: the helper, the facilitator of the hero's journey.
"We went to see Brave and she was like, 'Mum, that's the best movie I've ever seen!' and we both cried."
Ah, not so tough after all, Ms Griffiths.

WhatsApp is officially, the most discussed application of the moment, and introducing the Voice Calling feature was a wise decision, because WhatsApp can finally compete with Viber in terms of features, but WhatsApp already has a bigger number of users which are very satisfied with the fact that the application consumes less data units.

Backup exec 12.5 failed backup error code - E000fe3c
I am getting the following error code when we are trying to backup exchange 2003:
Before you can backup the resource (\\exchange.domainname.com\Microsoft Information store\First storage group), you must purchase and install a license key for the appropriate backup exec agent.
However, when I log into the licensing site, I see that I dont need a license key:
- The serial number you entered does not require a key. You may continue registering this license but you will not receive a license key.
- This license can be registered with other licenses for this product. If you would like to register multiple licenses for this product, please enter the serial number and click the 'Add' button.
I just took over the backup server yesterday, so I am trying to clear-up the backup problems.
Thanks in advance,

To use any agents, you need a license key. That means SQL, Lotus Notes, Exchange, Active Directory etc. all need to be licensed.
You can use a trial license for 60 days while you apply for a legal license, so I would suggest the following:
1. Go into your licensing wizard in BEWS, and select the option for Exchange. This will give you a 60-day trial.
2. Contact someone at Symantec to buy, and send you the license key. Once you receive it, put this into BEWS through the licensing wizard again.
The easiest way to verify you have the license installed is to: Help --> About --> License Information. It will show Agent for Microsoft Exchange - Licensed: Yes - Installed: Yes/No.
If No, you don't have a license key, and the next thing to check is the last column stating: Trial. If that shows Day 60 of 60, you won't be able to use the trial anymore...and you will need a proper license key.

Discussion in 'Disney Discount Codes and Rates' started by Seeker615, Nov 6, 2012.
Joining all of you! I am wanting ANY discount (preferably free dining )
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
We are going Sept. 12 - 18th and are looking and hoping for FD! Keeping our fingers crossed and hoping for Pixie Dust, Lots!!!!!
We will be there September 12-20. Can't wait!!
We will be there Sept. 30- Oct. 6 but are willing to change our dates a couple days earlier if a good enough deal rolls out! I've been absolutely KICKING myself for not booking the bounce back for free dining when we there in Nov! Won't make that mistake again!!
We are going Sept 8-14, really really hoping for free dining too! We do have resort discount pin, but free dining would be better for us...Here's to pixie dust to us all!!!
Booked at POFQ for 9/21-9/28, but hoping to upgrade to WL or AK. Come on discount codes!
Adding to the List too! Need a code for 9/12-9/15!!
We also need a code for September. 9/25 - 10/5.
So I am planning a 1 year wedding anniversary trip to WDW at the end of September. How do I sign up to receive pin codes?
There's no real way to sign up. They're completely random. They say you increase your odds by registering online, and saving a few random trips you're interested in taking and then you sit back and wait. I did this last year and received three PIN codes via email. Saved me about $700 off the rack rate. But, I know others who have done this and never get PINs. Good luck!
We're hoping to book a trip September 10-21st 2013! I'm really hoping a discount is released soon!
Planning on going Septmember 22-30th. Going whether I get a code or FD. But FD would be nice.
Thanks will do. I have two trips saved right now so we will see what happens.
Trip booked for 9/21/13-9/28/13 ... going either way but would love FD!
We're booked 11th sept till 30th, last 10 nights in AKL with rented DVC. So hoping for some FD for the first part!
I'm going to jump on board too and hope for a discount code. I used to get pin codes all the time, but I haven't gotten one in over a year now. I want to take a few days in September to celebrate my birthday... COME ON CODES!!!
Hoping to go back the end of Sept. '13, but with our group, it has to be free dining or better to afford it.
Here's hoping!
I had a dream last night that Disney released free dining and I wasn't able to get online to book it. When I tried to call, my phone died.
I hope they release something soon....my sub-conscious can't take it
Holy cow, I thought I was the only one! LOL
Does Disney usually have some sort of discounts in Sept-Oct? Just wondered if these are more like wishful thinking.
Separate names with a comma.

Virtual card games. Everyone's at it these days, including [UPDATE: sort of] Sword of the Stars developers Kerberos. Not content with the 4X strategy game's first spin-off (roguelike The Pit), the team are making a 'wargame with cards' and they've decided to call it Ground Pounders. Although it hasn't officially been announced yet - expect that sometime this week - it does have a trailer and a
We didn't think much of Sword of the Stars 2 the first or second time around, but perhaps its roguelikey spin-off The Pit will fare better. The dungeon-crawling sci-fi RPG has just been released exclusively on GamersGate - presumably it will hit other online stores later - and this demo should give you some idea of whether it's the pits or not. More details below.
Sword of the Stars 2 adds a couple of extra Xs to the traditional 4X grand strategy formula. The familiar explore, expand, exploit and exterminate are joined by their ugly siblings excruciating and extended-periods-of -crashing, making for a misjudged and painful sojourn in this poorly served genre.
As designer Chris Stewart starts to talk me through the new Sword of the Stars, my eye drifts to the poster on the wall behind him. It shows a vast, insectoid ship belonging to the game's new race, the Suul'ka. There's a second ship, small and tucked under its wing, an arrow pointing to it labelled, "This is you."
It's a fun poster, but it's misleading in a way that does the game a disservice:
Meet George and Dave. George is ambitious, tidy, and good-natured. Dave is lazy, messy, and mean-spirited. Together, they are the Odd Couple.

The wand is too small and it takes you forever to do a basic mascara routine! It's ok for bottom lashes.. But I didn't spend $6 on a bottom lash mascara. If you don't have 10 minutes to spend every morning on mascara, don't buy this

I liked it a lot at first , The comb has an earth shape and the tip allows you to easily reach for the inner lashes. However, I found this made the lose my lashes...My sister also found that when she used it. I can't recommend this for that reason even if I did not dislike the effect.

I love this mascara! I have it in the brown shade. It took me a bit getting used to with the differently shaped brush, but now it's super easy to use. The part with the shorter bristles is good when I want to get near the inner corner of my eye or add extra volume. The long bristles are good at separating and lengthening. This mascara is super versatile, you can cam a really natural look or build up more dramatic looking lashes. Normally mascara will smudge on my lower eyelid (I only put it on my upper lashes but for some reason it transfers to my lower lid right under the lash line) but this doesn't smudge on me. Plus I like that it isn't too hard to remove with just soap and water. The price is great and I think the tube is pretty cute, too. I would definitely repurchase this if I ran out. I like this better than my benefit mascara and various loreal mascaras i have tried.

i absolutely LOVE this mascara. The wand is really nice but i hate the fact that a lot of product is at the pointy part of the wand. The wand lets you get every lash but the consistancy is a LITTLE too wet, but not bad tho. I think it flakes a little but again, nothing too bad. Really amazing for its price. i would buy it even if it was double the price. Definitly recommend

Didn't like this mascara. The formula was too wet and it didn't do anything for my lashes but make them darker. The brush is also too sparse and stiff which made it hard to coat my lashes. My lashes are medium length and are not full but not sparse, also my eyelashes barely have a curl and go straight out.

This mascara is really good at making lashes flare out but it smudges and clumps too much for me

LOVE this mascara. It adds amazing length, great volume, and holds my curl. Wetter formula which I love, but some don't. Only problems I had with this is it flakes, but it isn't as bad as some other mascaras. This is a great mascara, and the price is even better.

this is an ok mascara. this is the first great lash mascara i've tried and i wasn't expecting too much from it because of its combo reviews. i saw this at rite aid drugstore for only 5 bucks so i decided to try it, the heart shaped wand really gets through my tiny lashes! it does add a decent amount of volume and length. though, i've tried better ones so i wouldn't repurchase this.
+adds a little volume
+adds length
+dark pigment
+holds the curl
+separates my lashes well
+super CHEAP
+the brush is really cool
-flakes after a few hours
-can be clumpy if it's not applied properly
-makes my lashes kind of hard

Cheap and effective drugstore mascara. I usually use Diorshow but this is a great alternative, especially since I found out we should discard our mascaras once a month. For this price, absolutely no complaints. Will repurchase.

A soon-to-be tenant of 185 York Street, the Vinegar Hill condo building that sold out quickly, reports that the building has yet to receive its Certificate of Occupancy. She went into contract over the summer but has not been able to close because of the lack of a C of O. According to her, "way back in August/September I was told there was an issue with the standpipe which resulted in a failed inspection. It was corrected, but getting re-inspected has been an issue… we hope to have the C of O by the end of "this" month – [the broker] has said that every month since September. Curious to know if other buyers have similar issues or more info." A broker here tells us that they are going through the last of the inspections and anticipate closings to begin in February or March. The sixteen available units, priced from $375,000 to $845,000, all went into contract at or above asking. Any other buyers out there who are going through the same thing as our tipster?

The exact same thing- BUT WORSE! Been in contract for over a year, while other buyers in my building have been in contract for nearly 2 years. As some buyers back out of their contracts due to the multiple delays, their units are selling for $50-$70k more than the original contracts.
The buyers were recently told that we should prepare for closing, that we should have the C of O within weeks and to "contact our mortgage brokers." We all locked our loans and ordered appraisals only to be told a week later that; the building failed some unknown inspection, the national grid had to tear up the street in front of the building to do work to the gas lines and we again are at a stand still. There has to be some laws protecting the buyers! This is beyond the normal realm of new construction issues.
what an ugly building.
Ahh, the perils of buying new construction. I wonder how many problems you will have with the building once you finally move in.
Brklngirl, are you also waiting to get into 659 Bergen?
Message me privately.
To comment further, I'm waiting to move into a building that's been on pause for 2 years. From the very beginning, the owner Boaz Gilad has been telling buyers that they're 3 months away from closing. As a year past and buyers got heated, he began passing on the message monthly that we are in the final stages of inspections, but 6 months have gone by since that game has started and we're still waiting. The incredible way they can lie with straight faces is a testament to the degree in which they care about you, or don't, at all.
I wish the tipster luck getting into her place! Use the DOB website for insight into your building. And don't trust anything relayed to you from the building owner because he just wants you off his back, and doesn't think of you as a person.
Violation for ugliness?
they should make a building code for vinegar hill since it is surrounded by so much ugliness. just sayin'.
Im in this exact situation @ this building down to the T… Hopefully the other buyers see this and we can share info on this…
there's a 185 York group on facebook where you can talk: https://www.facebook.com/groups/405418136183636/

One of the few museums in the United States devoted to folk art has intimate galleries, some with lovely lakefront views. Look for the nation's most extensive permanent collection of Earl Cunningham paintings as well as works by many other self-taught artists. There's a wonderful video about Cunningham and his "curio shop" in St. Augustine. Temporary exhibitions have included the works of Wyeth, Cassatt, and Michael Eastman. At the museum shop you can purchase folk-art
books, toys, and unusual gifts. The Mennello is the site of the annual Orlando Folk Festival, held the second weekend of February.

The Biden Curve
Palin was "stupid" for saying what he says now.
Over the weekend, as we noted yesterday, Vice President Biden said that if Israel decides it needs to take military action against the Iranian nuclear-weapons program, the U.S. will not "dictate" otherwise. A reader points out that Sarah Palin, who ran against Biden in last year's election, said much the same thing in a September interview with ABC's Charlie Gibson:
Gibson: What if Israel decided it felt threatened and needed to take out the Iranian nuclear facilities?
Palin: Well, first, we are friends with Israel and I don't think that we should second-guess the measures that Israel has to take to defend themselves and for their security.
Gibson: So if we wouldn't second-guess it and they decided they needed to do it because Iran was an existential threat, we would cooperative [sic in ABC transcript] or agree with that.
Palin: I don't think we can second-guess what Israel has to do to secure its nation.
Gibson: So if it felt necessary, if it felt the need to defend itself by taking out Iranian nuclear facilities, that would be all right.
Palin: We cannot second-guess the steps that Israel has to take to defend itself.
Palin reiterated the point in a later interview with CBS's Katie Couric.
This column agrees with both Biden and Palin and is glad to see that the bipartisan consensus recognizing Israel's right to defend itself appears sturdy. But we suspected not everyone would be so consistent, so we went back to see what people had said about Palin.
Matthew Yglesias, who when he was young drew much praise for his thoughtful and fair-minded commentary, wrote a blog post titled "Palin: If Israel Wants to Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran, That's Okay With Me":
Palin reiterated her absurd view that the President of the United States shouldn't "second-guess" Israeli policy under any circumstances.
Palin is okay at repeating various "pro-Israel" buzzwords, but she can't run away from the fact that her underlying position on this topic is stupid.
So when Biden said the same thing, did Yglesias call it "absurd" and "stupid"? Well, is the pope Italian? Here's what he wrote yesterday:
This is being read by some . . . as a "green light" for an Israeli attack. . . . I think the most straightforward reading of what Biden said is rather different, he's trying to distance the United States from any possible Israeli military action by making it clear that what Israel does or doesn't do is decided in Israel rather than in Washington.
The main problem with this, I think, is that probably nobody's going to believe it. Already you see many Americans taking Biden's statement that the U.S. doesn't control Israeli policy to "really" mean that the U.S. is encouraging Israel to attack.
When Palin says it, it's stupid. When Biden says it, he gets graded on a curve: The problem is that other people are too stupid to understand the deep subtlety of Biden's thinking.
Then there's M.J. Rosenberg of TalkingPointsMemo.com. In September, he described Palin as "robotic" and suggested that she is the puppet of a Jewish cabal:
Now we know why among the very first people Sarah Palin sat down with after being nominated was [sic] Joe Lieberman and the head of AIPAC.
She needed the latest talking points and, boy, did she learn her lines. . . .
In other words, under the Palin administration, we won't second guess Israel. I think I've got it.
Palin sure has.
And when Biden said it? Rosenberg kept mum until he was persuaded that the vice president's words didn't really reflect U.S. policy. Then he wrote this:
The President said today that he has "absolutely not" given Israel a "green light" to attack Iran.
So Biden either misspoke, was misinterpreted, or has just been corrected by his boss. Israel will get no green light to attack. We will, as Obama said all along, rely on diplomacy to solve the Iran problem.
Fair enough, right? Wrong. Look what Palin said to Charlie Gibson just before he asked about a hypothetical Israeli strike:
Gibson: So what do you do about a nuclear Iran?
Palin: We have got to make sure that these weapons of mass destruction, that nuclear weapons are not given to those hands of Ahmadinejad, not that he would use them, but that he would allow terrorists to be able to use them. So we have got to put the pressure on Iran and we have got to count on our allies to help us, diplomatic pressure.
Gibson: But, Governor, we've threatened greater sanctions against Iran for a long time. It hasn't done any good. It hasn't stemmed their nuclear program.
Palin: We need to pursue those and we need to implement those. We cannot back off. We cannot just concede that, oh, gee, maybe they're going to have nuclear weapons, what can we do about it. No way, not Americans. We do not have to stand for that.
What Palin said last year was precisely what Obama and Biden have now said: Diplomacy is the optimal way of dealing with the Iranian nuclear threat, but if it fails, Israel has a right to defend itself. In a way, the inconsistency of some of Palin's critics is reassuring. It shows that a good deal of anti-Israel sentiment is mere partisanship masquerading as something uglier.
Heil Hotter!
"Former U.S. vice president Al Gore has likened the battle against climate change to fighting the Nazis during World War Two," London's Daily Mail reports:
Mr Gore, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for the climate change film An Inconvenient Truth, said the greatest challenge would be to convince people that the threat from climate change was as urgent as the threat from Nazi Germany.
"It can happen. It will happen. We have everything we need except political will, and political will is a renewable resource.
"We can berate politicians for not doing enough, and compromising too much, and not being bold and addressing this existential threat to civilisation.
"But the reason they don't is that the level of concern among populations has still not risen to cross the threshold to make the political leaders feel they must address it."
It's an imperfect analogy, to say the least. The Allies in Europe did not declare war on Germany until after it had invaded Poland, and the U.S. until more than two years after that. The Nazi threat was far clearer than the "existential threat" from global warming, which is hypothetical and quite possibly hyperbolic.
A better analogy would be to Saddam Hussein's weapons programs in 2003. The threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, which turned out to be nonexistent, was overstated by people who had an interest in believing, or in convincing others, that the Iraqi regime was dangerous. Not all such people were noble in their intentions; as we noted last week, Saddam himself encouraged the belief that he had such weapons in order to cow his enemies.
Some global warmists seem to have goals other than "saving" the "planet," as suggested by this Reuters report:
To fairly divide the climate change fight between rich and poor, a new study suggests basing targets for emission cuts on the number of wealthy people, who are also the biggest greenhouse gas emitters, in a country.
Since about half the planet's climate-warming emissions come from less than a billion of its people, it makes sense to follow these rich folks when setting national targets to cut carbon dioxide emissions, the authors wrote on Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
As it stands now, under the carbon-capping Kyoto Protocol, rich countries shoulder most of the burden for cutting the emissions that spur global warming, while developing countries--including fast-growing economies China and India--are not required to curb greenhouse pollution.
Rich countries, notably the United States, have said this gives developing countries an unfair economic advantage; China, India and other developing countries argue that developed countries have historically spewed more climate-warming gases, and developing countries need time to catch up.
If carbon is really destroying the planet, why in the world would it be desirable for developing countries to "catch up"? "Climate change" here appears a convenient pretext for reviving socialist ideas that have been economically discredited--although somehow we have a feeling Al Gore would somehow manage to stay rich even under a regime of class warmfare.
'Our American Thugs'
President Obama's plan to import terrorists into America has met with almost universal opposition from U.S. politicians, but Chicago's WFLD reports that the mayor of Marion, Ill., backs the president. He says he'd be happy to have the Guantanamo Bay detainees take up residence at his local medium-security prison:
In the interview, Jan [who is otherwise unidentified] asks Butler if he's worried that the detainees will be living in his city if they get out of jail.
Butler responds by saying, "I cannot imagine that they would care to stay here. We don't have any camels and there isn't any sand. So, I'm sure that if they were released they wouldn't be coming here to this community. They'd be going some place else."
Later in the interview, Butler explains more about why Marion should hold the prisoners.
He says, "We've got our American thugs there. Let's put the terrorist thugs there. Our American thugs are going to take care of them and so we go from there."
It isn't clear if the "American thugs" to which he refers are the prisoners or the guards. In either case, the mayor's comments put Guantanamo opponents in an awkward position, since most of them claim to be against the abuse of detainees too.
Silliest Newspaper Article Ever
JoAnne Young ought to be red in the face. A writer for the Lincoln Journal Star, she has produced what is quite possibly history's most ridiculous newspaper article. She interviews Marilyn Johnson, who has a new book about obituary writing called "The Dead Beat," and unquestioningly repeats Johnson's claim that "mystical forces" are needed to explain why different famous people die on the same day:
It just takes a little careful reading of the obits, Johnson says.
Some are obvious.
Princess Diana (Aug. 31, 1997) and Mother Teresa (Sept. 5, 1997).
Authors Aldous Huxley and C. S. Lewis (Nov. 22, 1963), who were joined by President John F. Kennedy (also an author).
James Brown (Dec. 25, 2006) and former President Gerald Ford (Dec. 26, 2006).
Pope John Paul II, head of the smallest kingdom in the world, the Vatican (April 2, 2005), and Prince Rainier, head of the second smallest kingdom in the world, Monaco (April 6, 2005).
Milton Berle, Dudley Moore and Billy Wilder (March 27, 2002).
Hunter S. Thompson and Sandra Dee (Feb. 20, 2005).
Surely it cannot all be chance, Johnson wrote in her book. These are mystical forces that can be found almost weekly in obituary sections, or in the case of celebrities, the front page and all other forms of media.
Then again, one could come up with plenty of counterexamples. Joe McCarthy and Richard Nixon were both anticommunist congressmen in the 1950s, yet they died almost 37 years apart! Karl Malden and Vivien Leigh both starred in "A Streetcar Named Desire," but she died 41 years and 359 days before he did! David Brinkley outlived his counterpart Chet Huntley by over 27 years!
Of course it can all be--and is--chance, and if Young was going to write about Johnson's silly claim, she could at least have interviewed a statistician to explain why rather than encouraging such ignorant superstitions.

Death, the Great Leveler
"AIDS doesn't discriminate" was one of the catch-phrases of the 1980s, but it turned out not to be true. Not only did the expected heterosexual AIDS epidemic never materialize, but according to Reuters Health, it turns out that there are racial disparities in the syndrome's incidence among gays:
[Researchers] found that black gay men were three times more likely to have sexual partners that were also black, than would be expected by chance alone.
In addition, black gay men were the least preferred of sexual partners by other races and were believed to be riskier to have sex with, which can lead to men of other races avoiding black men as sexual partners.
Black gay men were also counted less often among friends and were perceived as less welcome at the common venues that cater to gay men in San Francisco by other gay men.
These influences, Raymond told Reuters Health, push black gay men closer together in smaller social and sexual networks--"networks that are already at higher risk for HIV infection merely because the background prevalence of HIV is higher than in other groups."
What they seem to be saying is that the AIDS prevalence is higher among black gays than nonblack gays because the AIDS prevalence is higher among black gays than nonblack gays. And also because of racism:
"Of our findings, social networks and access to community spaces may be the areas most amenable to action," [H. Fischer] Raymond said. "Acting on personal preferences in sexual partners may not be, however raising awareness that personal preferences may be shaped by underlying negative racial stereotypes or history isn't without merit," he added.
"The racial disparity in HIV observed for more than a decade," Raymond and [Willi] McFarland conclude in their report, "will not disappear until the challenges posed by a legacy of racism toward blacks in the U.S. are addressed."
They seem to be saying that the disparity could be narrowed by encouraging more interracial gay sex. Of course, this would increase the AIDS rate among nonblacks rather than reduce it among blacks--but no one ever said overcoming racism would be cost-free.
