Unlike other murder mystery dinner shows, here you will find no cheesy costumes, no recited campy dialogue and no hokey song and dance. Our performers are dressed just like everyone else, leaving all of the guests to suspect who is a part of the show and who is not. In many instances, guests are seated with the performers and don't even realize it until they die...the performers, that is! Our Detectives proceed to interrogate everyone and find clues as more people die. At the end of the night, prizes are awarded to the Top Sleuth who solves the crime. Each ticket includes a reception with tray passed appetizers, mixed green salad, choice of entree (beef, chicken or pasta), dessert, award winning interactive Murder Mystery show, prizes and so much more. **Every Saturday night through 12/26/2015.

From: Patrick: Huntington State, WV 7/21/14
Comments: This is a very versatile little worm, my favorite finesse worm. Works fantastic on a mojo, split shot, or carolina rig, and is also great drop shotting. Don't overlook using it weightless either. A good choice in a tough bite.
From: Tyler: Grand Junction, CO 4/18/14
Comments: Good looking worm I have yet to test, but I will say that the Donkey Punch is much darker in real life than the picture depicted here.
From: Koc: TX

From: Brett: Rochester Ny
Comments: I agree with the other poster's comments about it being a great shaky head worm. For some reason the bass just seem to like it. Most likely they would bite on almost any decent worm but I like to think these have an edge on the others. I guess that's how the companies make millions of us crazy fisherman lol. good luck all.

I purchased this ring to wear as a wedding band when I'm unable to wear my solitaire ring. This ring looks like the picture (though the picture is a close up and the diamonds look bigger in it). It has much more sparkle than the picture shows. It's hard to see in the photo that there are small diamonds on the side of the ring. I find it a little uncomfortable to wear. The ridges on the side rub against my other fingers. I'm hoping I'll get used to it as I continue to wear the ring because I really like this ring a lot. The ridges on the side do not go all the way around the ring, however. I believe this ring would be easy for a jewelry to re-size, if need be (but I'm not a jeweler, so I don't know how these things work). I wouldn't recommend it as a band to go along with another ring. It is a very beautiful ring with a unique and vintage look to it that should be showcased alone.
I wanted a unique looking wedding ring at an affordable price and this was perfect! It is very beautiful. The appraisal value is over double the price. Most definitely worth it. It also re-sized well (I had to make it smaller).
Not what I was looking for
This was a Christmas gift and is prettier in person. Excellent quality!
We got this ring as a wedding band to go with her engangement ring. The engagement ring is a "vintage/antique" look with very ornate detail. We had a difficult time finding something to match w/o having a custom band made, until this ring. It works very well with her current ring. The ring pops and has a lot of sparkle to it. Only knock would be that the picture portrays the diamonds as having a lot more pop but upon arrival they don't "Kapow!" as much as I had thought. The ring still looks amazing and can easily be worn alone or with the engagement ring. Very happy customer.
Think the price was too high for the small amount of gold and tiny diamonds. Pretty ring, though.
This ring was uncomfortable. The stones were too small.

I saw the Phineas & Ferb Star Wars special last week, it was pretty cool. It takes place during Episode IV, basically the story sort of runs parallel to the events in Ep IV.
Will definitely give this a look today. I think Kickin It is also Star Wars themed tonight.

| "Now you know, that nobody has loved anybody as much as i love you" ~bella " "except me" ~edward |
| "I'll have to buy Esme a new bed frame" |
| "The pillows all seem to have survived, unfortunately can't say the same for your, umm, night gown" "that's too bad, I liked that one," "I did too." |
| "After a few minutes he asked real quietly if you turned into an animal too and i said "she wishes she was that awesome!" |
| "Stop fidgeting, Bella. Please try to remember that you're not confessing a murder here" |
| "Charlie, I realize that I've gone about this out of order. Traditionally, I should have asked you first. I mean no disrespect, but since Bella has already said yes and I don't want to diminish her choice in the matter, instead of asking you for her hand, I'm asking for your blessing. We're getting married, Charlie. I love her more than anything in the world, more than my own life, and – by some miracle – she loves me that way, too. Will you give us your blessing?" |
| "Bachelor parties are designed for those who are sad to see the passing of their single days. I couldn't be more eager to have mine behind me. So there's really no point." |
| "It's not right! I don't want you to have to make sacrifices for me. I want to give you things, not take things away from you. I don't want to steal your future." |
| "I've been waiting a century to marry you, Miss Swan." |
- Feel free to keep the list going!
| "Let me introduce you to my wife." |
| "Enjoying the party, Mrs. Cullen?" |
| "I'm not surprised Mike's having difficulty with improper thoughts about a married woman. I am disappointed that Alice didn't make sure you were forced to look in a mirror" |
| "Don't take too long, Mrs. Cullen" |
| "I wouldn't use the word beautiful. Not with you standing here in comparison." |
| "Did you expect this, Bella? Were you anticipating that I would hurt you? Were you thinking it would be worse? Do you consider the experiment a success because you can walk away from it? No broken bones – that equals a victory?" |
| "With our rarely changing temperaments, strong emotions can alter us in permanent ways. But he said I did not need to worry about that part – you had already altered me so completely" |
| "I will not make love with you until you've been changed. I will never hurt you again." |
| It's like gravity your whole center shifts suddenly it's not the earth holding you here you would do anything be anything she needs a friend,a brother,a protecter |
| "I think it might be safer if it's premeditated, rather than if I wait for you to assault me again." |
| "Maybe it would be more polite to wait until we're alone. You may not notice me tearing the furniture apart, but it would probably scare them." |
| "I don't care about anything but keeping her alive. If it's a child she wants, she can have it. She can have half a dozen babies. Anything she wants. She can have puppies, if that's what it takes." |
| "The moment Bella's heart stops beating, I will be begging for you to kill me." |
| "It… the baby likes the sound of your voice." |
| "I want your permission to deviate from what we agreed to in our treaty with Ephraim. I want you to grant us an exception. I want your permission to save her life. You know I'll do it anyway, but I don't want to break faith with you if there is any way to avoid it. We never intended to go back on our word, and we don't do it lightly now. I want your understanding, Jacob, because you know exactly why we do this. I want the alliance between our families to survive when this is over." |
| "By the way, I love you." |
| "That's why were here." |
| "I know-I'll play you for it.Rock, paper, scissors." |
| Last Night was the best night of my existence .. |
| "I always wondered where the crown jewels disappeared to after John of England pawned them in the thirteenth century. I suppose it doesn't surprise me that the Volturi have their share" |
| "He smiled the kind of smile that would have stopped my heart if it were still beating" |
| "Um… carefully, Bella. Ow" |
| "What is a blondie with brains? A Golden Retriever." |
| "Her name is Renesmee. Like Renée and Esme put together." |
| "Okay, Emmett. I win, and you cannot say one more word about my sex life to anyone, not even Rose." |
| "Think he can hear us?, I Think so. Hey,Edward.if you can hear me--circle the wagons,bloodsucker. you've got a problem. we've got a problem Seth corrected" |

| But it was Edward out there |
| "... We belong together."... "Forever" |
| Also shaving my legs seemed like a good idea |
| Page 83: "How did people do this -- swallow all their fears and trust someone with every imperfection and fear they had -- with less than the absolute commitment Edward had given me? If it weren't Edward out there, if I didn't know in every single cell of my body that he loved me as much as I loved him -- unconditionally and irrevocably and, to be honest, irrationally -- I'd never be able to get up off this floor. But it *was* Edward out there, so I whispered the words 'Don't be a coward' under my breath and scrambled to my feet." |
| "Momma you're special" Renesmee says to Bella |
| I didn't want to kill girls… even vampire girls. Though I might make an exception for that blonde. |
| "An island? who gives an island for a gift?" |
| ( Caius ) You breed mutants here. |
| Bella: Edward, why are there feathers all around me? |
| Edward: Let's just be glad it wasn't you |
| Your pregnant arn't you? |
| the only person i'd ever had sex with was a vampire, for crying out loud. |
| "Your monopolizing the bride.Just let me dance with my little sister.It may be the last time I get to see her blush." - Emmett |
| For one half second, I wondered what it would feel like to put my hand in the fire |
| It's a good thing you're bulletproof |
| It's Carlie, like Carlisle and Charlie put together |
| "We're finally the same temperature." |
| "So should I start calling you dad now?" |
| No measure of time with you will be long enough, but let's start with forever |
| "My shaking jerked to a stop; heat flooded through me, stronger than before, but it was a new kind of heat - not a burning." "It was glowing." "Everything that made me who I was - my love for the dead girl upstairs, my love for my father, my loyalty to my new pack, the love for my other brothers, my hatred for my enemies, my home, my name, my self - disconnected from me in that second - snip, snip, snip - and floated up into space." "I was not left drifting. A new string held me where I was. Not one string, but a million. Not strings, but steel cables. A million steel cables all tying me to one thing - to the very center of the universe." "I could see that now - how the universe swirled around this one point. I'd never seen the symmetry of the universe before, but now it was plain." "The gravity of the earth no longer tied me to the place where I stood." "It was the baby girl in the blonde vampire's arms that held me here now." "Renesmee. |
| Edward: `They'll be shocked when the infants save their superiorlives, won't they? |
| "Forever and forever and forever," he murmured. |
| "I can't live in a world where you don't exist, Bella" |
| Impossible. Wrong. Sick Borrowing bella for the weekends and then returning her Monday Morning like a rental movie? so messed up. So tempting. (Jacob) |

Uuh, wonder if this fixes some small visual bugs i have in CIV4.
Phoronix: Wine 1.5.9 Supports RandR 1.2/1.3, Better HLSL
There's another Tuesday release of a new Wine development version. This second development release for July brings RandR 1.2/1.3 support plus parser improvements to the HLSL shader compiler...
Uuh, wonder if this fixes some small visual bugs i have in CIV4.
I hope for you it does, but consider it can be an issue of the gpu driver too (especiall if fglrx )
Still no PulseAudio support?
That said, I generally solved my problems with PA by now, by giving VLC the boot! KMPlayer can handle media just as well.
I wonder what exactly the RandR support means. Anyone who could give an example?

There are precisely THREE problems;
1) Unusable UI's (i.e., gnome-shell).
2) Commercial CRAP comes on all hardware sales.
3) Proprietary software is not built with Linux in mind.
(2) and (3) are obviously connected, as in (3) is a direct result of (2).
To some extent, (2) is a result of (1) as well.
Some very subjective thoughts!
I watched a video from the Stanford University, where the tutor explains what an argument is. He says, in the past people used to start programs from the command line with e.g. a text file as an argument, this is where the String array in the main method comes from
From the past?!? I love using rsync, cp, mv and regular expressions, pipe output etc. I barely even touch a file manager. Hell, even in Windows 7 I prefer robocopy (finally made it into the OS as standard) over a filemanager. At the moment GUIs try to make every
Am I from the past or is there a problem with education in schools, that everything operated with a mouse is better?
Many of the documents need to be handed in as MS Office document, so the tutors can make their notes using the MS Office suite. Yes, LibreOffice und Co. can save documents as .docx etc. but there are some glitches and formatting might get lost.
MS pushes its products in the schools, by offering Student Edititons and discounts etc. (not only MS btw. there are a hell lot of crap products in use, pushed through universities e.g. MathCad -.-).
First sorry about my English. It's not my native language.
I haven't read all the posts so I don't know exactly whats has been discussed.
But as a long time user I have found annoying attitude from developers. Let me explain. The last 10 years, Linux had a lot of new desktop developers. It was the new trend in the market, Windows has passed into advanced NT era and it was free. So everyone wanted to participate. But that fame also attracted a lot of non-talented guys and a lot of selfish ones.
When Linux started to rise up with kernel 2.6, Gnome 2.0 and KDE 3.xx everyone wanted it's share to success. We had distro spinoffs, we had application spinoffs and a whole mess just started. Instead of collaboration in true FOSS spirit we had a true proprietary mess.
We had various audio servers, we had different desktop settings, we had different themes, we had this we had that. Instead of collaborating to give one desktop framework across desktops, everyone used theirs. When someone disagreed about something he made a fork. So great teams were dissolved and none had the resources to continue. And of course two projects stopped. and so, and so...
So today we have 2 excellent OS. Windows 7 x64 and Max OS X. They are absolute perfect. When you switch to Linux you have to deal with different toolkits, 10 half music programs, 10 half image programs, 10 different installation programs, 10 this, 10 that, 10 the other....
In personal, I installed Ubuntu 12.04 last week. I used a few modified sources and AMD graphics driver crashed my Xorg. WHY??? I still can't use Gnome because 3.0 is an ugly mess. Why they did not keep compatibility with gtk-2.0 themes? When I use KDE and open a gtk app WHY the fonts are so UGLY??? WHY, WHY, WHY??? I don't want to continue about various system stuff such as bash configuration etc.
In conclusion I would like to see the following in KDE 5.0 and GNOME 4.0:
1. Same configuration for desktop. Settings, themes, everything.
2. No duplicate work. Why having phonon, gstreamer, pulseaudio etc. Only one "low level" app for desktpos
3. Fewer but richer applications. We have Mediamonkey in Windows. Duplicate it. Not similar app. An exact copy.
4. Common settings framework for system. A plugin based application like Webmin common to ALL distros.
1. Gnome and KDE share already desktop and some settings you cant share all settings and the themes.
2. Phonon is a layer that lies over a backend so that application can use the backend that is installed on the system. Gstreamer is a backend like Quiktime for Mac OS X or DirectShow for Windows. Pulseaudio is a layer that lies over the system backend and manages the audio streams and makes you able to stream sound in network.
So for me there no real duplicates.
The two overall biggest issues with linux IMO:
1. Drivers. Yes, its gotten far better than it used to be, but hardware support under linux is still far from the ideal.
2. Fragmentation. Choice is one of the biggest strengths of linux, but also ends up being one of the biggest weaknesses. There seem to be too many pointless forks and/or duplication of work. (for a good example look at the video editor situation. New ones popping up constantly, no great ones).
1. Why we can't share everything? When I use Gnome I want Gpicview to handle all image files and if I switch to KDE Gwenview will start. Why is that. The same with media player, text editor, web browser etc. Also the themes can change. The UI has the same elements: scrollbars, windows, buttons etc. A converter should handle all these.
2. Why all this complex stuff? Only one audio thing with plugins. Common for all architectures and desktops.
There are pieces of FOSS software that are so complex and excellent that make me embarrassed when I compare desktop Linux to Windows. For example GCC is amazing doing work for 30+ architectures and OS and from the other side we can't have a decent image viewer.
In Windows you have a lot of crashes too, they just don't ask you to report them and they put it in a way that won't scare the user. In Windows XP they were asking you to send or not to send the problem, in Windows 7 they just do it automatically. When a crash happens in Windows 7 it says "Windows is checking for a solution to the problem...", not like in Linux "Segmentation Fault: Fatal error...".
That makes the overall experience of the user more pleasing, he doesn't think that the OS has crashes because it doesn't tell him.
Well the most important linux problems is intellectual property. This is the eternal fight between free and non-free software and we all know about that.
Commonly in consequence of this IP problem or due to economic reasons, hardware drivers quality is lower at least in the desktop front. The most common hardware driver problem is in open source graphic driver. Even for most sold hardware like nvidia and amd we don't have a tier 1 top quality open source driver. This is just an hardware manufacter choice in the end (mostly driver by software patents, one of the reason AMD can't open source fglrx, I guess for nvidia this is the same). Of course nvidia has a good closed source driver (for what I read on this site, I don't have one), but still is far from ideal for the end user. The common PC users hardly even known what linux is, how can he/she know the driver he/she get installed by default is not the "best one" in term of functionality. Switchable graphics? Just a dream even with nvidia closed source driver! The exception is intel here which provides a fair good free driver for linux for its IGP (and CPU and wireless devices). May be not really 100% on par with windows, but quite close to be a top quality driver. Wireless drivers are another problem for the same story. Same story for the SMAPI controller on lenovo notebooks, even if it is so simple to support given the device is not complicated at all, there is no driver for linux for newer models (I have one, trust me). What is the price of making a linux driver for lenovo? In term of developer salary I think it is very small, so there must be another reason for it, I ask myself, which one??
On windows drivers are not a problem just because they are installed by default, so you might think installing closed source drivers by default just solve the problem. In my opinion no. GNU/Linux is a free operating system. It is against its nature to do that, not to talk about technical problem (like AMD drop support for not-old-hardware, slow support for new kernel/Xorg and so on). Even with 100% on par with windows but closed drivers, GNU/Linux can't quite cut it. Drivers and software must be free/open source on GNU/Linux just because this is the way it works.
For sure if your hardware doesn't work near 100% due to driver issue/missing support I don't see why a normal PC user should use linux.
Once the hardware driver problem is solved, we might check some hole in desktop user software here and there, but this is not a very bug issue.
Cause KDE and Gnome using different toolkits ad both use different stucktures. In background they use the same backend for many technichs that the application uses the standart or the backend so that applications can supports both DE without many extra work. Both have no standart components that are deep integrated like the Windows Media Player or Internet Explorer. Every application can be a standart component. Themes cant be shared between the DE cause both have different widgets and so on. I gues, the only thing than can shared from themes are icon themes.
2. Why so complex? Cause components are not bound to Linux the only component that is bound to linux is alsa Phonon, gstreamer and Pulseaudio are supporting other operating sytems.

Auto Meter#105-5787Gauge Shift Light, Level 1 |
Digital Pro Shift Systems (DPSS) are programmable and do not require a separate module or pills. They are available in three levels. The gauge-style coordinates with other Auto Meter series, such as Cobalt and NV. The black or silver tube-style has a unique A.I.M. direct line-of-sight mounting bracket, enabling left and right rotation and all-direction angle adjustment. Both are compatible with 0.5 to 6 pulses per revolution, meaning they work with most engines up to 12 cylinders. Level 1 The Digital Pro Shift System's digital RPM display provides Level 2 Includes all the Level 1 features plus four programmable shift points that allow you to set an entire cycle of gear changes. This feature allows you to keep your eyes on the road and still monitor your shift points to achieve maximum power and traction. As you approach your shift points, the LED lights will illuminate to notify you to shift. The launch light feature allows you to set a precise launch RPM from a dead stop. The LED lights will illuminate when you reach your launch point and flash when this RPM is exceeded. Level 3 Incorporates Level 1 and 2 features and allows you to record and playback up to 80 seconds of RPM activity. You can see where you shifted early, late, and on time to improve your future run times. You can connect to any Auto Meter tachometer to turn it into a playback tach and view recorded data playback on the instrument face.
highly accurate and precise readings so you get the perfect shift at
the right RPM.

One long-standing notion in western culture is that an artist's work should stand out. It should look and be strange somehow—if not bizarre, then at least out of the ordinary. The new Walker exhibition Lifelike explores a contrary proposition: What if realism is the new radicalism, dull is the new bizarre?
Jim Hodges' Buoyant Monoliths: The Walker's Newest Outdoor Commission
Olga Viso
Feb 2012
What began as a sketch on Jim Hodges' studio wall—an image of a boulder with a small swatch of pink foil added—will become the newest addition to the Walker campus this spring. The circle of massive stones, collectively weighing 90,000 pounds and skinned with striking sheaths of reflective steel, will be the first major public work to join the Walker's green space since the 2005 expansion.

Ginger Strand and Alec Soth

Ice Land
Paul Schmelzer
Jan 2012
Uncharted territories, even in a relatively sparsely populated state like Minnesota, are few and far between. But each January, when the average temperature lingers around 7 degrees Fahrenheit, one such place comes into being, briefly, on the frozen surface of Medicine Lake, where artists reimagine ice-fishing shacks as the locus for a vibrant pop-up community.

Paul Schmelzer
Jan 2012
It's taken 32 years, but Frank Gaard's Walker solo show marks a homecoming of sorts for the Minneapolis-based artist: Poison & Candy is the painter's first solo show here since 1980.
Tombstone for Phùng Vo
Bartholomew Ryan
Jan 2012
"Here lies one whose name was writ in water." So reads the inscription on a black stone with gold-leaf engraving that will be installed in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden next spring. A work by Danh Vo, it will reside here until the death of the artist's father, when it will travel to Copenhagen to mark Phùng Vo's final resting place.
The Oculus Inhabited
Paul Schmelzer
Dec 2011
Like some alien organism deep in the core of the machine it controls, Elizabeth Simonson's biomorphic, bead-based sculptural installation is recessed into the aluminum-clad ceiling just inside the Walker's Hennepin Avenue entrance. Commissioned for the space, which was dubbed the "oculus" by architects Herzog & de Meuron, the complex and intricate work is intended to suggest biological forms.
Nathalie Djurberg's The Parade
Eric Crosby and Dean Otto
Dec 2011
Primal and chaotic, Nathalie Djurberg's art "doesn't look like anything else out there," says Eric Crosby, co-curator of the artist's first major US museum show. In an interview, he and the Walker's Dean Otto discuss how Djurberg's claymation and sculptures fall outside conventions of both the film and contemporary art worlds, while channeling a "universality of experience that speaks to us all."
Anthony Burrill's Advice for Living
Paul Schmelzer
Dec 2011
British designer Anthony Burrill is known for using older technology, namely Victorian wood type, to create posters bearing upbeat, quirky mantras like "Work Hard and Be Kind to People" and "Clear Your Head." But he's well aware how social media is changing design—and propelling his ideas around the globe.

Watching the breath
This practice of meditation is found in all schools of Buddhism. It is to rest your attention, lightly and mindfully, on the breath.
Breath is life, the basic and most fundamental expression of our life. In Judaism rush, "breath" means the spirit of God that infuses the creation; in Christianity also there is a profound link between the Holy Spirit, without which nothing could have life, and the breath. In the teaching of the Buddha, the breath is said to be the "vehicle of the mind" because it is the breath that makes our mind move. So when you calm the mind by working skillfully with the breath, you are simultaneously and automatically taming and training the mind.
So when you meditate, breathe naturally, just as you always do. Focus your awareness lightly on the out-breath. When you breathe out, just flow out with the out-breath. Each time you breathe out, you are letting go and releasing all your grasping. Imagine your breath dissolving into the all pervading expanse of truth. Each time you breathe out and before you breathe in again, you will find that there will be a natural gap, as the grasping dissolves.
Rest in that gap, in that open space. And when, naturally, you breathe in, don't focus especially on the in-breath but go on resting your mind in the gap that has opened up.
When you are practicing, it's important not to get involved in mental commentary, analysis, or internal gossip. Do not mistake the running commentary in your mind for mindfulness; what is important is pure presence.
Don't concentrate too much on the breath. What is very important is NOT to fixate while practicing the concentration of calm abiding. That's why they recommend you place 25% of your attention on mindfulness of the breath. But then, as you will discover, mindfulness alone is not enough. While you are supposed to be watching the breath, after only one or two minutes you can find yourself playing in a football game or starring in your own film. So another 25% should be devoted to a continuous and watchful awareness, one that overseers and checks whether you are still mindful of the breath. The remaining 50% of your attention is left abiding, spaciously.
As you become more mindful of your breathing, you will find that you become more and more present, gather all your scattered aspects back into yourself and become whole.
Rather than "watching" the breath, let yourself gradually identify with it, as If you were becoming it. Slowly the breath, the breather, and the breathing become one; duality and separation dissolve.
You will find that this very simple process of mindfulness filters your thoughts and emotions. Then, as if you were shedding an old skin, something is peeled off and freed.[/b]

2012–Obama's Ascendancy or Conservative Reform?
Posted by KingShamus on January 1, 2013
Let's face facts, people. Conservatism really took it on the chin in 2012. After all, Republican Mitt Romney got his ass beat by left-wing ideologue Barack Obama. The Supreme Court, led by John "No Seriously, Dubya Nominated Me!" Roberts, upheld ObamaCare. The US Senate remained in the hands of Democrat Majority Leader embarrassment Harry Reid.
Look at some of the dire metrics going against conservatives. The fiscal cliff deal is all tax hikes, no spending cuts and a whole lot of kabuki theater nonsense. The media remains a statist bullhorn and progressive piggy bank all in one. The education establishment is committed to indoctrinating America's youth in the ways of Karl Marx while failing to teach them how to read. According to conventional wisdom, the Right should spare themselves the embarrassment of a messy end, get into a dark corner, curl up in a ball and quietly die.
Just like it croaked in 2009, right?
Seems as if once more, conservatism didn't listen to it's sworn enemies or it's fair-weather friends.
Consider the following sequence of events. On Election Night, Barack Obama's hottest sexual fantasy was fulfilled when Mitt Romney delivered a submissive beta-male concession speech. Just over a month later, Governor Rick Snyder made right-to-work the law of the land in union-dominated Michigan.
That certainly wasn't supposed to happen. Just like after Obama won in 2008, the left was stoked to see America morph into a slightly bigger less ouzo-fueled Greece. Socialist values were destined to sweep away all the bitter-clingers and their retrograde obsessions with the US Constitution, free market socialism and keeping some of the money they earned through the sweat of their labors. All that hackneyed 18th century Enlightenment jive was going out the door, replaced by Barack Obama's brand of shiny happy grievance-group buy-offs.
The Mitten State, of all places, was thought to be one of the strongholds of Barack Obama's national progressive realignment. Big aggressive labor groups pumping piles of money into Democrat campaign coffers has been the great idea in the Donkey-Puncher playbook since the Paleolithic Era. Now that beloved Donkey-Puncher strategy is in serious jeopardy.
Lest you think this is an isolated right-wing victory in a sea of conservative defeats, ponder the fact that during what was supposed to be the new Progressive Golden Age, no Republican has lost a governorship since 2007. Thirty states have a GOP chief executive. Twenty-one states have both a Republican governor and a GOP-controlled legislature. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker not only survived a nasty recall race, he annihilated the competition and looks poised to win a second term.
Seen this way, it's clear many states welcome right-of-center politics. They're comfortable letting conservatives–or 'Republicans' at least–run their governments. Why didn't all that translate into a win for Mitt Romney?
Maybe because Romney just didn't offer enough of a contrast to Barack Obama's galloping socialism. Forget for a moment that the former Taxachussetts governor got less votes in '12 than that famous arch rightwing stalwart John McCain did in 2008. Instead, look at how well the Libertarian Party candidate did. Gary Johnson scored 44,000 votes in Florida. Ohio gave 47,000 votes to the former New Mexico governor. He snagged 48,000 votes in the Keystone State.
To be fair, with the exception of Florida, none of these vote counts could've put Romney ahead of Obama. But you can look at these Gary Johnson voters, along with Mitt's overall lack of support, as indicative of a general conservative dismay with the Republican nominee. If the GOP presidential candidate isn't going to stand up forcefully to the President, why should anybody else? Many voters made the entirely reasonable conclusion that Romney was a weak specimen, and they looked at other options. This in turn created a min-Perot effect, where the traditionalist/conservative vote was split in several states and was depressed across the country.
The Romney campaign seemed to take an awful lot of voters for granted. Social issues like abortion were never really addressed, except in the quietest most defensive way possible. Gun enthusiasts got a few perfunctory interviews in various National Rifle Association publications, but that was pretty much it. It seemed as if Team Mitt felt these voters–who make a large chunk of the Republican base–were just going to fall in line. Those Republicans were not swayed by Romney's sotto voce strategy, and it ended up costing Romney dearly.
Worse, by not going out and arguing against Obama's anti-life positions or his thinly-veiled hatred of the Second Amendment, the GOP nominee allowed David Axelrod and Co. to define him as an out of touch racist gay-bashing plutocrat who wanted to chain women to an ironing board while simultaneously giving them cancer. In retrospect, the Romney campaign ran an absurd race. While Mitt wanted the election to be about jobs and the economy, Obama and the media (sorry for the repetition) made it about what an unlikable piece of shit Romney is.
Sadly the Democrat's plan worked, because the Republican nominee was unable to defend himself from a barrage of attacks. Nor could he articulate strong positions that excited important parts of the GOP base. Worse, he couldn't effectively pivot any of his policy positions into personal or political slams against Barack Obama.
In short, conservatism's problems in 2012 were much the same as they were in 2008. Nationally, their standard-bearer was n astoundingly poor choice to represent the vast center-right coalition that should be natural Republican Party supporters. In contrast, state level conservatives are enacting serious reforms. Once you look beyond Washington DC's poisonous liberal assumptions, there is a muscular conservatism to be found in the rest of the nation that is making progress against the utterly unsustainable blue state model.
Maybe the Right should do what Rush Limbaugh says.
Let's try conservatism, just for a second, just to see how it feels.
Now in the short term, conservatives will certainly take some licks. Their nominal party just lost an election. That tends to have painful consequences. More ominously, the Republican's caving in to the fiscal cliff deal might just be the final nail in the Party's coffin. That means precious time will be lost as conservatives coalesce behind a new opposition party. If that process is done quickly a regenerated Tea Party, flush with new supporters, could become a more effective bulwark against the Democrat's hateful statism than the feckless GOP.
Looking at the situation in total, 2012 gave conservatives plenty of heartburn. But in some ways, the failure of the Republican Party's presidential campaign and the success of the state-level GOP gives the Right options it did not have in 2011. We have principled leaders in positions of power who have started tearing down liberalism's failed policies. The Right can tout their successes and compare them to Obama's catastrophes.
Even better, conservatives no longer just have to accept what the Republican Party tries to spoon-feed them. The Right has gotten very little out of it's coalition with the Beltway GOP besides a pair of busted presidential campaigns and a very strained frenemy-esque relationship. Perhaps it's time to remind the Republican Party who really is the junior partner in the firm.

I'm shocked — SHOCKED! — that anyone would suggest that politicians who call themselves conservative should hold at least one or two conservative principles.
KingShamus said
Starless: Right? That's just crazy talk. If the Republicans wanna score mad votes, it's time for abortion on demand, gay marriage and legalizing meth!
