it could not escape even Cedric's reluctant observation, that his project for an absolute union among the Saxons, by the marriage of Rowena and Athelstane, was now completely at an end, coach outlet store by the mutual dissent of both parties concerned. This was, indeed, an event which, in his ardour for the Saxon cause, he could not have anticipated, and even when the disinclination of both was broadly and plainly manifested, he could scarce bring himself to believe that two Saxons of royal descent should scruple, on personal grounds, at an alliance so necessary for the public weal of the nation. But it was not the less certain

I believe Romney was damaged in the primary and was pushed too fat to the right to win. He is a bipartisan moderate, whip smart with all the skills we needed to get the jobs up and rolling again. By ignoring the business world and ramming through health care in the midst of a recession Obama created a huge dependent base. If you lost your job and are on social programs you are going to vote a for the known factor and hope things get better. Basically Romney was correct in his remark but it was said badly. Romney lost because Obama came out early and ruthlessly trashed his image with one lie after another and divided the nation into groups. Today we are right where we were before the election with a president with no intention of being bipartisan and seems to want to be at war with the Republican party. Romney has a history of bipartisanship. Had he won the economy would be picking up fast because he would be concentrating on getting the fiscal house in order and making the US once again competitive.
At war with the Republician Party? Didn't the war start on inauguration day 2009 with the Republician leadership pledging everything possible to thwart President Obama?
It seems absurd to blame Romney completely.
He had to navigate a bitter primary fight. Within a party itching for extremist views among the core while needing to deny any common ground or mainstream views he may have secretly aspired too. He was in a no-win situation trying to both win the primary and then appeal to the broader voter. The stress and effort running for President must be unimaginable.
At least give him the respect he deserves having gone through the process.
I agree. Blaming Romney for GOP incompetence is absurd. The 2012 election is almost a Greek tragedy.
I am amazed that Gov. Daniels ignored the state races. For example, the Missouri senate race was (Blue Dog Democrat) Sen. Claire McCaskill's race to lose. I almost wretched when Rep. Todd Akin said he wouldn't quit the race after his "forced rape" comment during HHS Sec. Sebelius's manufactured War on Women's contraception.
I am sure Kathleen is thrilled "the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York can proceed with a lawsuit challenging a requirement that employee health care plans cover contraceptives, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. [Dec. 6th]"
Thankfully, this lawsuit should alleviate President Obama's estranged relationship with Bishop Timothy Nolan [Roman Catholic archbishop of New York].

At least we have to give credit to the republicans for not blaming others. I bet on my life had the democrats lost, by now they would've blamed everything else in this world but themselves: bush, fox news, tea parties, voters stupidity, message 'being understood', racism, etc, etc etc.
You write "At least we have to give credit to the republicans for not blaming others." How then do you explain your own reply to Chiligentilly (Dec 6th, 20:53) where you blamed the media and the "deficiency and limited vision of those identity groups" for the Republican loss? Don't worry. You're not alone in these blogs pointing fingers elsewhere. P Walsh (Dec 4th, 05:22) attributed the loss to those "who believe they are entitled to the money the government takes from their neighbors." Apparently some Republicans, including you, are indeed "blaming others."
It sure is a new trick for the GOP. I'll give them a lot of credit for not blaming others. This might be the first time in 20 years they didn't.
Let's just hope the current Democratic Party won't blame the next four years on the (inherited) last eight years.
Romney didn't lose the election. The Republican Party lost the election, and it was Romney's bad judgment to decide he wanted the prize so badly he would ignore his own past.
In addition, he was a terrible candidate who, before the election, appeared to have spent nearly all of his time talking to fellow corporate executives, his secretary, his family and his lawyer. And he didn't know how to show people in public that he cared. Instead, he smiled and smiled and smiled and desperately tried to control his environment. And couldn't.
But Romney can't be blamed for everything.
The Republicans lost the election. They lost because they dissed:
The Poor
Those who were not evangelical Christians
And those groups in total are larger in number in states with large populations -- and electoral votes -- than in Southern and Rural states.
The Romney Republicans wanted to frame the election in terms of changing the economic contract. But the rest of the party could not resist the temptation to also try to frame the election in terms of the social contract of being an American.
When they did that -- and the platform and moronic utterances by House and Senate candidates from one coast to the other show that as a goal of a significant piece of the party faithful -- they threatened all the groups listed above. The original framing of the Romney campaign -- as a referendum on economic policy -- was basically run over.
The election was decided on whether voters regarded the Republicans as interested in their overall welfare or as an interest group simply interested in imposing a value system on others by force. A majority voters in decided it was the latter.
To be fair, Obama won the election by an Electoral College landslide; not so much the popular vote. Let's all move on to brighter days and hope we reach for immigration reform...
They didn't dissed. That is how the media framed it.
- disapproval of intruding in religious rights was framed as "war on women"
- disapproval of illegal acts, like illegal immigration was framed as "war on Hispanics"
- disapproval of handouts and encouragement of self sufficiency and prosperity was framed as "war on blacks".
In reality, it all says more about the deficiency and limited vision of those identity groups than of the republicans.
It is not the reps that need to get "browner". It's the browns that need to think more like the whites.
Keep thinking that way, stay in the bubble of reality denial, and say good-bye to the GOP as a national party. You don't want to admit it, but the positions of Akin, Braun, etc. were in fact a war on women, and the attempts to put into law the right-wing religious beliefs were a war on the Constitutional separation of church and state [which separation was denied in so many words by GOP members and supporters].
I regret the self-immolation of the once great, progressive Party of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. I will never forgive you right-wing zealots for forcing me to vote a straight DEM ticket. I really hope you reap what you have sown, and enjoy the ride down oubliette.
Thatseasy, You wrote "They didn't dissed. That is how the media framed it." Sounds like you're blaming the "media" for the Republican loss. Darn those folks at Fox News and right-wing radio! But more importantly, you wrote that "the browns that need to think more like the whites." That sounds like a very racist comment. It implies that thinking like "whites" is somehow superior, and that "browns" think differently, and that is somehow inferior. If this is typical of Republican thinking, then you may as well give up and join the Klu Klux Clan on the way to obscurity and oblivion. This is the kind of dramatic shift to the extreme right that drove me out of the Republican Party. Thank You.
Romney didn't diss anyone. He has a long history of taking care of people personally and filled his governorship offices with women. It was Obama's political machine which created this lie and were successful with it. A couple of nut cases with dumb remarks were made to be the face of the Republican Party while Biden's remarks were equally bad but ignored by the press. Unfortunately the media is 90% liberal and they protected their man in this election even though Obama was a poor steward of the nation in his first term.
Yeah, Mitch, hindsight is always 20/20. We Romney voters appreciate the courage you showed in running for the 2012 presidential nomination. So where are we now?
We have a president who doesn't know how to negotiate across the aisle.
Although Lexington is correct in that Romney's (leaked) sound-bites to a limited doner-audience explain why he is a sore-loser.
We right-leaners are doomed.
"principles of liberty are far better for people at the bottom than the statist alternatives"
Ah, but poverty deprives an individual of even their most fundamental human right; the right to LIVE...
What is the point of liberty when only thing one can choose is when and how to DIE?
The right to live is essentially the right to not have other people kill you, not the right to force other people to give you food, shelter and so on. No one has to give anyone that.
That is only true if you have no moral, feeling no pity and caring only for yourself.
If it's possible to cast people as such merely by shifting your standards far enough in the opposite direction, you will accomplish nothing but to burn out those terms as insults. So, yes, I have no morals, I feel no pity and I care only for myself-- in your delusional eyes. But since I have no respect for your judgment in the first place, your views are irrelevant.
Denying access to food and water constitutes a mortal threat to life and a slow murder. This week the Osaka high court gave a young mother, who abondoned her two children in her home for 60 days and starved both to death, the longest ever prison sentence of 30 years.
Killing someone by starvation is about the worst form of murder in existence.
Denying access to food and water is nothing like being required to _give_ people food and water. And children being starved by their mother, who's required to take care of them, is nothing like unrelated adults. And killing someone by _fire_ is about the worst form of murder in existence. Strike three, you're out!
Handworn, The preamble to the U.S. Constitution, by "We the people," includes the affirmation that one of the goals of our Government is to "promote the general welfare." That includes not just protecting individual liberties, but caring for those unable to care for themselves. The Founding Fathers didn't include those words because they were died-in-the-wool socialists. They understood the universal need of a society to care for its citizens. They also included the need to "provide for the common defense." Not to defend individuals or their property; to defend the whole of the country. That's another admission that our entire society is important, not just those who can afford food and shelter.
You're correct that we don't have "the right to force other people to give you food, shelter and so on," anymore than we can force individuals to establish laws, build infrastructure, or negotiate treaties. However, make no mistake that the Government IS empowered to do those things, and to tax its citizens to pay for it. Thank You.
John, that being a goal of the government 1.) doesn't mean that it means what you're talking about, and more importantly to my point, 2.) doesn't mean that people are required to help others. We often choose to, as you note, but that's night and day with the approach Anjin-san was taking, which was acting as though a right to live is something the government is obliged to give you, as opposed to something you naturally possess which the government is barred from taking away except under narrow circumstances.
If the Founding Fathers had meant that the national government should act as a nanny state, they'd have made that clear and actually done it themselves, but all of their words and deeds contradict that. I agree that the government can do it, and would agree that it can do some good, but I deny completely that it must do it to even the slightest degree, which is the point I was addressing in the others' comments.
David Frum said, "Conservatism should be more than a defense of the vested interests…" Recognizing that real opportunity and social mobility requires placing the status quo at risk will be the first step in replacing the stagnationists who pretend to be conservatives.
"I have a hunch that men such as Mitch Daniels, and even Mr Cruz, know how damaging it would be for the next wave of candidates to remain in the same, inward-looking mindset, in which their opponents' voters can be dismissed as somehow illegitimate."
At the risk of sounding elitist, I see no benefit to society in pandering to the opinions of voters who have never educated themselves in economics, or who cannot explain the a priori basis for their political philosophy. Uninformed opinions are inherently illegitimate.
So no danger of you winning elections any time soon.
Sadly true. Taking tax policy out of the hands of politicians by allowing the IRS to meet a revenue target analogous to how the Fed is tasked with meeting an inflation target probably wouldn't be popular at a time when even the latter is under attack by financial Luddites.
Can you imagine the horror of a world in which boring technocrats ruled, and neither party were able to use the tax code to punish its opponents or reward its supporters?
There may be a reason science fiction positing future rule by technocrats is dystopian.
You mean aside from the fact that it's fiction? :-P
I wonder if Anakha is supporting Republican or Democrats. Should we pander to voters who haven't educated themselves in basic biology or climate science? Never mind ignoring Keynes except for defence spending and thinking that the way to reduce a budget deficit is through a tax cut.
I believe there's a word for government by unelected bureaucrats...
At the moment, neither.
Perhaps I overstated my argument. I'm not in favor of eliminating elected politicians in all areas, or of preventing them from having ultimate authority over unelected bureaucrats. My point is that politicians should generally set overall policy and goals, and leave it to bureaucrats to meet those objectives.
That is the classic dilemma of Democracy, do we open up governance and voting to all at the risk of allowing the ignorant gain power, or forsake the idea of expansive liberty and democracy and allow policy to be formed by highly educated elites who may or may not understand the prior basis for their concepts and beliefs?
If you are making an argument that the uneducated were mostly Obama supporters and those educated in economics were Romney supporters, and therefore the Obamas supporters opinions "are inherently illegitimate" then I would say that is a overly abstract, broad, simplistic, and a empirically uninformed statement. And one group or party cannot simple dismiss their opponents supporters as being illegitimate simply because that party disagrees with those supporters.
"My opponent is wrong and therefore his supporters are ignorant, and if they are ignorant then their opinions are illegitimate; their opinions are illegitimate because they are ignorant, and I know they are ignorant b/c they support my opponent who is wrong." Its closed, circular logic.
RIght, if they want to hold a commission or something on, say, the dolphin problem, I think they're up to the task.
Should we pander to voters incapable of grasping "live on less than you make, invest the difference in income-producing investments, repeat"?
The republicans had a lock on People like Akin, Braun, etc. You know, the legitimate, better educated people who believe the world is 5,000 years old, evolution is fake, rape victims [if the rape is legitimate] won't get pregnant, Obama is a Communist, etc.
Obama only had stupid people like those with graduate degrees, scientists, professors, etc. I do believe that the U.S. is better off with President Obama and his backers in charge rather than that other crowd.
JBarger84, You made an excellent reply to Anakha82, and I was struck by another thought. Perhaps the Founding Fathers were on to something: If we allow an uneducated populace the right to vote we can be either destined to be ruled by fools, or forced to educate our people. I guess we can't complain about the ignorance of the masses and at the same time advocate for policies that undermine education, like eliminating the Department of Education or student loans. To quote Derek Bok, former president of Harvard University, "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance." Thank You.
Both parties don't care for the poor. The right cares about the rich and the left cares about special interest and minority groups, i.e. hispanics, blacks, women, gays, and unions. As we keep shipping jobs overseas it's hard for either side of the political spectrum to make a strong case for the working class.
"hispanics, blacks, women, gays, and unions"
That right there is a majority of the country. Heck, women alone is a majority of the country. And you didn't even include the Asian Americans and Jews, who voted even more heavily against the GOP than did Latinos.
What about working class white men? Shouldn't there be a party representing their interest? Because at the moment no party does.
Good to know no union members are working class white men. I shall make a note of it.
Union members are just a fraction of working class white men in this country. My point was that none of the parties is looking out for the interest of the poor/working class people, they only serve the interests of special interest groups.
Because among blacks, Latinos, and women there are no poor or working class people?
One reason Democrats win these groups, and others, is that a lot of people who are not relying on or hovering just above the social safety net still see it as a good thing, a hedge against future reversals for themselves or their abstractly unlucky fellow citizens. There but for the grace of God and good health go I.
Except that women are far and away the largest group and a significant percentage of women are conservative or Republican. Kanun doesn't mean women in general, I think, but feminists.
Handworn, You claim "a significant percentage of women are conservative or Republican." That certainly wasn't evident this year. According to ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/twins-caught-fighting-womb-17869074) women nationwide voted for Obama 55% to 44% for Romney. Among single women it was much higher – 67% for Obama to 31% for Romney. And married women voted for Obama 8% more than married men. If you're correct I guess that means that conservative women just didn't vote as much. Otherwise, it would be more accurate to say that a significant percentage of women are liberal or Democratic.
Labeling them "feminists" is way too simplistic. Women are no more of a monolithic single-issue voting group than men or blacks or latinos. Thank You.
44% isn't a significant percentage? If he'd only gotten 47% your similarity to Romney would be perfect. Or perhaps, since you're acting as though "significant" is a term which can describe only one part of a binary choice, you have confused it with "majority."
"Labeling them "feminists" is way too simplistic. Women are no more of a monolithic single-issue voting group than men or blacks or latinos."
You're making my point. Kanun included women as a minority group, and I pointed the clear ridiculousness of that idea out, and suggested that he probably meant feminists. Only someone in the habit of reading carelessly would think I was labeling all women as feminists.
Ted Cruz got 100,000 less votes in Texas running for the Senate than Romney did. So Cruz's "opinion" on Romney means squat -- the only reason he won at all was because he was in Texas with an "R" after his name.
Mr. Cruz just ran, and won, the race for US Senator in Texas. In El Paso County, which is predominantly Hispanic, Mr. Cruz lost by a margin of nearly 2:1. The Hispanics of El Paso County preferred an Anglo from south Texas (Paul Sadler) over the Latino. I wish the Republican Party good luck with the Hispanics.
Where did people get the ridiculous notion that winning the mythical Hispanic vote was the be all and end all of American politics? Firstly, there is no "Hispanic vote." Lumping Mexicans, Cubans and Puerto Ricans from coast to coast and from top to bottom of the income ladder is absurd. It reeks of the idiocy that leads one to think that shouting "Si se puede" is a critical part of the appeal to anyone whose last name ends in -ez. (Particularly ironic since Cesar Chavez was strongly against illegal immigration).
To the extent that one can even talk about the Hispanic vote, it's smaller than the black vote and it actually only actually leaned a few points more Democratic in the past two elections than one would otherwise expect for a group with the rest of its demographic make-up (disproportionately young, disproportionately low income...)
I'm not saying that the GOP can afford to ignore those voters. It needs all of the voters it can get and isn't in a position to write off large groups. But the idea that mythical "Hispanic issues" are driving the mythical "Hispanic vote" is getting out of hand.
Be careful not to understand too much from post-mortem Republican criticism of Romney's campaign. One read of the criticisms is that active politicians benefit from distancing themselves from a loss, and the '47%' comment is the sturdiest point they have found from which to shove off.
It is not the comment that determines the win. It is how the liberal media exploited it. Obama "clingers to god and guns"', I'll tell you after the elections", "you didnt built that" and many more would've gotten any conservative toasted forever.
"On Nov. 6, Romney carried the majority of every economic group except those with less than $50,000 a year in household income. That means he carried the majority of middle-class voters"
Average American makes ~45k a year. Ergo, he did not carry the majority of middle class voters.
I don't know why they think that's a good thing. Republican economic policy is going to make the "under 50K" pool a proportionally larger fraction of the population.
That sounds like a 47% kind of comment. Most people aren't one-issue voters, which both Romney and you should keep in mind.
Mitt lost because of a myriad of reasons:
-He embraced the extreme Right Tea Party, and then shifted to the Middle abruptly with no explanation. He said too much and was seen as unreliable and disingenous.
-He shunned all media interviews except for FOX News.
-He gave secret closed access meetings regularly to wealthy elites. He really did not care for the masses.
-He lacked charisma. When stadiums expected 75,000, Mitt would reliably draw 5,000. Handlers would surround the stage with supporters to camouflage the fact that the stadium was empty and the sound was distant.
-He failed to embrace the minority vote:
90% of blacks voted for Obama.
90% of homosexuals.
80% of Asians.
70% of Hispanics
70% of Jews
60% of Women
60% of the Youth under 30y
-Romney largely tried to win on the White Male Vote--and it no longer is enough
-Romney also believed the old axiom: "The Candidate who spends the Most Money, wins 90% of the Time." This has only proven true in two of the last six presidential elections. => Time to retire this rule.
-Romney concentrated on Fundraising instead of campaigning, media interviews, and grass roots.
-Romney relied on about a dozen very wealthy Rockafeller Billionaires to win. Obama had grassroots support of tens of millions of small supporters all connected by social media.
-Another magical Romney Number: 744. The number of vetoes Governor Romney threw against the Mass. State Legislature in only a single four year term. All his vetoes were overridden.
Mass. was lead not by Romney but in spite of him. Romney could not run for releection in Mass. because his leadership was so bitter and divisive.
And Mass. strongly rejected Romney for president that Romney could not even campaign in his home town of Boston.
=> So much for a his Bipartisanship Reputation.
(By comparison, Obama in his first term issued TWO Vetoes. Neither was overriden.)
-Super Hurricane Sandy expertly timed itself for the election. Romney in the summer advocated elimination of FEMA, now seen as a critical life saving Federal Agency. In the last two weeks of the election, Hurricane coverage booted Romney from the spotlight. Romeny was left with Hurricane hair and trying to look pertinent carrying water bottles in an Ohio rally.
-Romney thought TV was essential, when many people no longer watch TV. They get their news from the internet, social media, mobiles, radio and You Tube.
-Romney trusted Pollsters who were biased. And his whole campaign was misinformed to the true national sentiments. The Republicans demonized Nate Silver, who turned out to be the Oracle.
-Yes, Mitt had a great first debate, when he shifted to the Middle unexplicably and left Obama flat footed. He pulled the great Bait and Switch. He lied.
-But in the end, Mitt overall was a lousy candidate. Like Marie Antoinette, he was too rich. He lived in an echo chamber. He was out of touch. He was not genuine. He had a screechy voice. He lacked charisma. He did not deserve to win. He should run in 2016.
That made me laugh. Nice conclusion.
Obama in his first term enjoyed first a Congress in Democratic control whose bills he didn't want to veto and then a Congress in mixed control which as a result didn't pass many bills and which couldn't override any vetoes for those it did pass. Congratulations, Obama, you're a great leader for not being as legislatively challenged as Romney!
My question is, what prevented you from seeing these facts before speaking?
I have always had a picture of Romney in a heart-shaped frame on the wall and my former shrink who moved to Boston voted for him when he ran against Ted Kennedy. This was mainly to give Teddy a scare who was getting so arrogant he didn't even bother to campaign till Romney started catching up.
Of course Teddy called in the democratic mob in Boston which is like the mafia - controls everybody and everything in MA the bluest state in the country and like true mafiosi they are either of Irish or Italian origin.
But Romney got my shrink's respect for standing up to Teddy.
He voted for him when he ran for Governor.
But he didn't vote for him when he ran for president. Why? Because of Ryan. Most people in the therapy industry felt he had promised to much to the Tea Party faction and would have to throw them some red meat if elected President. But make no mistake the moderate Mitt of the first debate was the real Mitt. If the real Mitt had been in evidence in the Republican primaries then Romney would have won. Then we would all live in paradise now.
"principles of liberty are far better for people at the bottom than the statist alternatives"
I wonder, how would that resonate with someone keeping two jobs to feed the family? Stagnating wages would make people afraid that they might one day find themselves in that position, if they aren't in it already. The increasing inequalities should work against the GOP, if they keep presenting acting as the party for the rich.
The real reason that the GOP is still in shock after this election is because this angry strategy has in one form or another worked for years. Karl Rove managed to get the Bush vote out in the form of Bible belt America and angry white men but I suspect he will be the last gasp success of that strategy.
Demographics have changed in America for ever. Nixons Southern strategy isnt enough anymore and the GOP are going to have to figure out how to distance themselves from the loony South (without losing too many of their votes) in order to win anything consistently in the future other than the odd protest vote.
You must have missed it -- but the "angry strategy" did win this election.
How does one angrily re-elect an incumbent?
Logic has long since left the GOP, all they have left is rhetoric and anger.
NRO has already solved the demographic outreach thing: They need to convince Latinos and Asian Americans to start thinking of themselves as Americans. When they realize they're Americans, then they will start voting for Republicans.
"They need to convince Latinos and Asian Americans to start thinking of themselves as Americans. When they realize they're Americans, then they will start voting for Republicans."
Unfortunately, the voting statistics of Nikkei (Japanese-American) population does not back up this assertion. There had been no fresh substantial influx from Japan since 1920s, and they have conclusively demonstrated that they think themselves as Americans first back in 1940s, yet they still vote in favour of the Democratic Party (Hawaii and California, where they are most numerous, are both heavily Democrat states).
If an N of 1 means anything, I voted strictly Republican in all the elections before Obama 2008. That was because I had associated being "Republican" with being "conservative". Also I had the impression, to be proven completely wrong, that Republicans were better educated, shampooed their hair and didn't cuss. Then came the rude awakening in 2012. Oddly or not so oddly, the awakening happened on TE blogs.
I was reminded of the oath of allegiance I took in my citizenship ceremony. That was when I realized the vote I cast I would be casting as an American, not an "immigrant". I read again the US Consitution. A near Eureka moment. I said to myself: No way am I going to vote Republican because it is a party of Anti-Americans. Might as well go back to pre-1789 France and there Marie Antoinette was prettier.
Domo arigato gozaimashta, Nihon no Nisei eto Sansei Beigokujin.
Thanks for your assistance in putting paid to the menace of the Rovian-Romnian autarchy.
She may have been prettier, but weren't her opinions, "Laissez les 47% sans culottes manger du gâteau." rather similar to those of Romney and his proper supporters? Though Let them eat crumbs [miettes de notre gâteau] might be more appropriate.
True. Crumbs.
My main problem there wasn't even the crumbs per se, but the hypocrisy in preaching God and values and fancy virtues on the one hand and immediately turning around to say there is only crumbs for you on the other. It is the hypocrisy more than anything else that is objectionable. Repugnant.
Marie Antoinette led an insular life. Her unconcern grew out of an ignorance she was unaware of. The same cannot be said of the Rovian-Romnian autarchy. And these are the exact same people who always say they will pray for you. Don't you worry what might be in their prayers?
BTW, I noticed you speak French and Japanese. Impressive! :)
My Korean, German and Farsi used to impress natives not used to foreigners [especially English speaking ones] knowing anything, but was survival level. My Japanese was weaker and is now confined to greetings and food vocabulary. "Il est bien dommage" that my French consists of French loan words in English and phrases and words memorized during my trips to France, you might rather thank Google translate for repairing the gaps.
The French I was able to put out satisfied that French requirement for respect, but, I guess, was so atrocious that even Parisians would voluntarily switch to English. On my first visit I made a serious error. When the Parisians did not understand my inquiry I switched to German. I could swear that the temperature dropped 20oC!
Good the hear from you, McJakome. It is certainly nice to know so many languages, particularly when they are far apart with little in common like Korean and Farsi! Some time ago, a blogger talked about how the learning of a language helps one develop an analytical mind. I think that is so true. :)
Well, interestingly this is the EXACT political discourse the right tried to use against the social democrats in Sweden.
And the social democrats won every election between 1936 - 1976 and losing only three from there to 2006. In 2006 the Moderates changed their rhetoric completely, totally dropping an accusing tone against those being on benefits (still slashing them though), they have since won two elections in a row.
I know USA is quite different from Sweden both demographically and cultural, but I don't think it has ever been a good strategy attacking the poor.
The great book says " only the poor shall inherit.." A plight of the poor is a universally championed cause even though most part of the world merely pays lip service to it. No empire or regim no matter how dictatorial it is ,ever run a society without claiming to be champion of 'the poor."
This is truly a sad time for this great nation as it marks the biginning of a downhill journey moving forward.

Skyfall was an awesome picutre. Mendes brought Bond back from the "Bourne syndrome" seen in Quantum of Solace and to a much lesser extent in Casino Royale (which was pretty darn good despite some minor flaws). It had enough of the old mixed in with the new to leave most classic Bond fans satisfied, I think. Also the action sequences was extremely well done especially the choreography. In this day of fast cuts and shoty camera work to hid the lack of action choreography, I was pleasly surprised by Skyfall. The hand to hand fight in the empty building done with silohuettes was exceptional. I think they even had a few shots up for at least 30 seconds. You just don't see that these days.
Hopefully, Mendes will return at some point for another round of Bond, but he'll (or anyone else for that matter) will be hard pressed to beat/match Skyfall.

Modeling of Electromigration Induced Failure Mechanisms in Semiconductor Devices
F. Cacho, V. Fiori, C. Chappaz, C. Tavernier, and H. JaouenSTMicroelectronics, Crolles, France
In advanced semiconductor devices, most of the reliability issues in interconnects occur at a local scale. More precisely, the voiding phenomenon in copper lines is one of the key issues. Hence, a better understanding of the mechanisms governing electromigration would enable the development of more accurate predictive models.
A model of vacancy migration is proposed. The thermal, stress and concentration gradients, and the forces driven by the electrical current are considered.
After reviewing some basic elementary behaviors, such as the Blech length and the local vacancy accumulation at the cathode in a two dimensional model, a more realistic configuration is studied thanks to a three dimensional copper line model.

Hysterectomy is the surgical term for the removal of the uterus (womb). This results in the inability to become pregnant.
There are different types of surgeries, such as:
A hysterectomy may be done if the uterus is causing health problems that cannot be treated by other means. Some reasons a woman may have a hysterectomy are to:
Explore your options before having a hysterectomy. There are other treatments for many of these problems.
If you are planning to have hysterectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Be sure to discuss the risks with your doctor before surgery.
Your doctor may do the following:
You should do the following:
General anesthesia is usually used for this surgery. Anesthesia blocks pain and keeps you asleep through the surgery. It is given through an IV in your hand or arm.
You may be given antibiotics just before surgery. There are two different methods that are described here.
An incision will be made in the lower abdomen. This is done to expose the tissue and blood vessels that surround the uterus. The tissue will then be cut. The blood vessels will be tied off. The uterus will be removed. Next, the tissue will be sewn back together and the skin will be closed with stitches or staples. If the cervix is also removed, stitches will be put in the back of the vagina.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
This method will not involve any outside incisions. The vagina will be stretched and kept open with special tools. Next, the uterus and cervix will be cut free. The connecting blood vessels will be tied off. The uterus and cervix will be removed through the vagina. Lastly, the top of the vagina will be closed with stitches.
With each procedure, a vaginal packing (sterile gauze) is placed in the vagina. This will be removed after 1-2 days.
In the recovery room, you will have IV fluids and medications.
1-3 hours
You will not have pain during the surgery because of the anesthesia. During your recovery time, you will be given pain medication.
Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if you have any complications.
While you are recovering at the hospital, you may receive the following care:
During the first few days, you may have pain, bloating, vaginal bleeding, and vaginal discharge.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
Recovery from open abdominal hysterectomy usually takes 6-8 weeks.
After you leave the hospital, call your doctor if any of the following occur:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

We had made but a single but profound error in making eye contact before entering our stalls and now we were paying for it, sitting a mere 3 feet apart, separated by only a thin metal barrier, undoubtedly staring at each other's shoes, locked in a treacherous game of brinksmanshit.

If eating the recommended daily servings of fruit and vegetables seems like an impossible feat – relax, fitting in fresh produce is easier than you think.
Norman Regional registered dietitian Rachel Blundell says making a few simple additions to your diet can help you eat healthier and increase your produce intake. Blundell said it is important not to get caught up in the number of servings you are eating, but to focus on adding additional fruit and vegetables to your diet.
Fruit and vegetables are nutrient-dense foods that help reduce your risk for certain chronic diseases, can help manage your weight and also have important vitamins and minerals. According to the Produce for Better Health Foundation, only 6 percent of Americans eat their recommended veggies and only 8 percent eat the recommend target of fruit each day.
So how can you reach your goal?
Blundell said to remember that all forms of fruit and vegetables count - whether they be fresh, frozen, canned or dried. Fruit juice (100 percent) counts as well, but lacks the fiber that helps us feel full. So juice may not be your best option if you're looking to lose weight, Blundell said.
"Snacks are another great way to get nutrient rich foods like fruit and vegetables," Blundell said.
You can satisfy many snack cravings with healthy options. For instance, craving crunch? Choose vegetables like carrots and a low fat dip like hummus or light ranch. Looking for a sweet treat? Try fruit in yogurt. Fruits such as bananas and strawberries can be dipped in chocolate, and frozen grapes make a great frozen snack in the summer heat.
Also keep in mind what constitutes a cup or a serving. An easy visual aid is the size of your fist, which in most cases is about a cup. Other examples of a cup or a serving including one small apple, 12 baby carrots, two stalks of celery or eight strawberries.
For some types of fruit or vegetables a serving will be more or less than a cup. A serving of dried fruit is about ½ cup. A serving of leafy salad greens is two cups for one serving size.
Ranch dressing is perhaps one of the most popular condiments in Oklahoma, especially for vegetables and salads. Blundell suggests making a healthier ranch dressing by making the dip with Greek-style yogurt for added protein.
Regardless of how you reach your goal, remember that more matters when it comes to fruit and vegetables.
For nutritional counseling, Norman Regional Health System offers the guidance of registered dietitians. Those interested can schedule an appointment for an assessment with a referral from their family physician.
