Chicken isn't as good of a metaphor, unfortunately. Congress isn't the one in the car hurtling towards the cliff; they're merely remotely steering the rest of the country off of it.
Congress must agree to enact legislation to reduce unproductive entitlements and budgetary spending. Tax increases must be targeted at those who can afford them. Loopholes and creative accounting techniques that hide taxable monies must be stopped.
By overtaxing the wealthy, Congress forces them to invest elsewhere or sit on their money, i.e. lose/lose for the unemployed and the government.

What was good enough for the Clinton economy should be good enough for the Obama economy. Forward!
Thru the rear view mirror ! ;)
It is not only the goods and services these companies provide our society, but the payroll taxes future employees would pay if they were hired. By overtaxing the rich, the government cuts off its source of future revenue. To paraphrase Margaret Thatcher, what will my Leftist friends do when, "...they run out of other people's money to spend?"
Over the last 3 to 4 decades what was the middle class has seen flat or declining prosperity, while in that time the top 5% has seen a 400% increase in their wealth, all on the backs of working Joe's wages.
The American economy was built on the middle class' purchasing power. That animal is basically dead.
Unfortunately, many people define themselves by one class or another. Being poor may be a motive to become wealthy. We look at socio-economic classes as if they are prisons which confine us. That is part of the problem. A person's character is most important.
More people are becoming wealthy due to upward mobility. Also, benefits assured and higher taxes levied, if you make more money, discourage people from getting jobs and employers from hiring them. The ladder is kicked away. Look how corporations and other business are holding are holding onto cash. They are doing so because higher taxes will force tham invest with lower margins of profit. It is lose/lose for everybody, including the government, which will get less revenue. I lay awake at night worrying about my Leftist friends without other people's money to spend.
I understand that rich folks either spend or invest their money. If they are taxed too heavily, they either sit on their money, outsource, buy gold, speculative land or antiques as a way of protecting their wealth for better times. Unfortunately, few jobs are created this way. The behavior is only understandable because taxes have to be factored with other costs of production.
I am not worried about the wealthy because they are very adept at protecting their interests. I am concerned about tha ladder being kicked away for those who are trying to become wealthy and the people they would eventually hire in order to become so. Would Gates, Branson or Trump have become as wealthy as they are without the people they made better off along the way?
I asked my son, who works for Honeywell, how many people his company has hired to become the great company that it is. His reply was, "...hundreds of thousands not counting the goods and services."
This is all Europe's fault! We need to spend all those billions of our defense budget, just to keep them safe from Russian agression. They are exploiting our goodwill. Without us there is no freedom in the world!
S.M.|New York wrote "Political leaders are not elected to achieve dubious signifiers of glory for themselves or their parties. They are not elected to endanger their constituents. The president and members of Congress should put an end to the cascade of doomsday metaphors and address the crisis now. We'll sate our appetite for cliffhangers at the movies."
I agree, however, maybe the problem lies with the electorate.
This is exactly what happens when someone with no experience talent or a solid education is elected president. Obama thinks that Chicago thuggery will get him what he commands.
Dear barak your not a king better put your big boy pants on and learn hoe to work with the House
Let me guess. You're an 18 year old kid in a Northwestern dorm doing the Tea Party Troll.
Actually I quite enjoy all the "Chicago style politics NOOOOOOOO to the fainting couches!" posts.
Eventually followed by, "Um, we are the tough party who can totally deal with Un, Achmadinijad, Hu, Putin, etc. Just not Chicago."
let me guess barak is your messiah
Obviously barak is incapable of dealing with those countries for multiple reason. The biggest reason is the fact that he has O experience and a quota education. When others were studying in college barak was selling dope because as a quota candidate he knew he was guaranteed straight A+
Many commentators have hit the core issue. It seems both party's members are acting in self interest yet their constituents keep electing them?
Can you say term limits? To end this constant parade of career politicians, who do nothing but insulate themselve from society in general and keep expanding the financial base of their corruption, the U.S. voters need an education on how to choose a leader.
No. Term limits are a disaster in Ca. Fix the voting system, with preference voting, or a no vote for candidates, and require a quorun of the voting age citizenry. No quroum, the office goes empty. All candidates have 51% no vote, the office goes empty. Better yet we should make it so non voting citizens are counted as no votes on everything and one, then we'll see a change in elections.
IDK, TC - sorta feel like we'd get a better motivated (and better overall) class of people in elected positions if no salary was offered and term limits made it impossible to become a 'career' politician. The only people who would serve would be those wishing to make a contribution to society with no expectation of getting something in exchange for their votes. And of course, they would all be proven performers (assuming a 100% estate tax were in place) - not needing a salary.
Kinda like being a blog-commenter on TE - if commenters were paid for what they post IMO the quality of comments would plummet and the volume would increase dramatically. If they were paid 'by the word' - God help us!
Heinlein suggested you pick somebody at random from a pool of qualified people. The selection is not voluntary.
I prefer pols who've made their million$ before they come to DC, not while they are there - which is sadly routine right now, ala Joe Biden, Charlie Rangel ....
Reply #1:
Then you would have to require voters to vote.
Would an American go for a restriction on their personal freedom to choose to not to vote?
Don't we have the right to be irresponsible?
FYI regarding Democracy… I hope you find this article interesting… maybe enlightening…
'From Cairo to California" by Kishore Mahbubani for Project Syndicate…
I believe the problem goes much much deeper than just "Fix the voting system…" as you suggest. However, I do agree that "term limits" is a move in the wrong direction.
Term limits are like tax cuts by voter referendum (another California problem). They feel good, they sound good, they look good on a bumper sticker ... but they're not good. They create more problems than they solve.
I'd say that we need the opposite of inexperienced lawmakers. We need more 20- and 30-year veterans who pride themselves on crossing party lines and crafting legislation. But those people get primaried these days. Lugar out, Mourdock in? That will make Washington better? Really?
But you see there is no requirement to vote. It's up to candidates to convince people enough, if they want the job.
"[W]e'd get a better motivated (and better overall) class of people in elected positions if no salary was offered and term limits made it impossible to become a 'career' politician."
There are a number of serious problems with this approach, not least of which is that it restricts the political class to the independently wealthy, and that goes starkly against democracy as a class-neutral system. If all citizens are to have an equal opportunity they *must* be able to hold political office regardless of how much property they own. This applies to judges, politicians, sheriffs, indeed *any* public office.
Further, the independently wealthy are not intrinsically better law-makers nor are they intrinsically more civic-minded or law-abiding, especially in a Chamber where all come from the same social class. The LIBOR scandal is testament that law-abidingness and civic-mindedness are not related to a person's wealth, and the outcome of the Presidential election shows that class interest is very much a factor in American law-making. Indeed, regardless of class, a law-making Chamber restricted to one class will create laws in favor of that class and the country as a whole will become subordinated to that class. This is how you create an aristocracy, not an meritocracy, and how you hold the nation hostage to vested interests.
Term limits are equally flawed as tools of a meritocracy, nor do they necessarily even limit political influence. The Japanese, Chinese and Russian political systems are transparent examples where the influential rule outside of held public office, but the American system too has its own kingmaker elites. It is no coincidence, for example, that G. H. W. Bush and G. W. Bush, father and son, both became President. The Kennedy clan is another example of extended political influence.
Further, a meritocracy is independent of term in office, rather relates to the qualifications to get *into* that office to begin with. Booting the incompetent or the self-serving out of office is the job of the electorate, and they are the ones that voted them in. That means that you need to motivate *the electorate* to better serve their country. You do that and the political priorities will shift along with it.
Well, we see the problem similarly, but arrive at completely different solutions to correct the flaws of the present system.
The aristocracy you decry is already upon us, as you observe, in the likes of the Bush and Kennedy and other clans. A 100% estate tax goes most of the way to ending this kind of hereditary access to power - it's their inherited wealth that enables their access to office. IMO we would do better with pols who had already had careers in real life that were successful enough to permit them to serve for a limited time without need of financial reward. As things stand now, becoming a 'career pol' is a fast and easy way to riches.
Please do remember that the system you favor, dominated by long-serving hereditary types, is what got us to the not-so-happy place we are now. If you love the status quo, your proposal is peaches. I don't.
A good safe answer. Your screen name suits you well... :-)
"...no requirement to vote. It's up to candidates to convince people enough, if they want the job." is what we have right now.
"non-voting citizens are counted as no votes" means that everyone is required to vote, they just don't have to show up at the voting station to do so. I wonder then if any office will be filled. Politicians and the government will then have to coerce people to vote at a voting station to get offices filled.
Sorry… please excuse me… I feel like I am in a comic strip. :-) :-) :-)
In 2009, Meg Whitman spent $144 million of her own money to win the governorship of California. This was the most amount of personal money spent by any candidate on any political race in American history. Nevertheless, she lost. In other words, her money did not buy her the office. Clearly, in Ms. Whitman's case her political career was not a 'fast and easy way to riches,' rather it was a significant expense that netted her little in return.
It clearly takes money to win an election, but it takes *more* than money. Further, most of that money spent on elections is usually collected as campaign contributions. Obama's campaign is a good example of this. Indeed, that external source of money is often decried because it is seen as potentially influencing legislation after the election as payback for that contribution. An example of this is Obama's extraordinary pro-union stance when the government bailed out GM. He might have acted the same way regardless of the union financial support as he clearly is pro-union to begin with, but a huge amount of gifted money nevertheless has some influence, and this money most often does not come from hereditary wealth.
In other words, if you see political corruption as the problem, blasting out hereditary wealth will not solve it. Further, blasting out hereditary wealth will blast out the Constitution along with it because private property and proceeds of private property are at its core. In the simplest terms, if people cannot allocate their property as they see fit, then they don't actually own it; the person or the institution that tells you how to allocate it owns it.
If the government actually did what you propose and established an 100% estate tax, the first response would likely be a mass exodus of wealth out of the country. Aside from that though, people would try to circumvent it by setting up Trust Funds for their children during their lifetime. In other words, the transfer would not take place at death, but during the person's life, and so hereditary wealth would persist much as before for the rich, even though the middle class would now be knocked on their knees. However, if *this* was prohibited, then, as noted, the person would be prohibited from allocating their property as they saw fit and private property would in effect be dead. The Constitution would die along with it because you can't get much more government intervention than the government confiscating and controlling people's wealth, and so civil rights would have to be tossed out the window as well. Calling confiscation a 'tax' doesn't change anything.
From my perspective you are trying to solve the problem of dead-beat and corrupt politicians without addressing the issue that the electorate voted these guys in and keeps voting them in. You are simply not going to get clean politicians unless the electorate demands clean politicians and demands political accountability that goes beyond tossing the guy out of office. Destroying the Constitution or twisting it out of shape in an attempt to get rid of secondary or tertiary inputs will only make things worse because the Constitution is designed to restrict the amount of damage that such politicians can cause.
You took a tedious number of words to make the assertion that money doesn't buy political influence. Sorry, but it does.
For like half of the last century we had in the US a top rate on inheritance of 90%. Didn't cause the legal or other problems you hypothesize. The wealthy can spend their money during life on whatever they want - there are simply limits on how much thay can give to an individual.
We're stuck with the citizenry we have, but we can construct a system that better promotes the placement of well-motivated and capable people into office. The people will still make the choice but from among a better pool of candidates.
Safe.. I had intended it to be slightly tongue in cheek. Simply put, I am most interested in motivating candidate interest to keenly desire a high voter turn out.
" I wonder then if any office will be filled. Politicians and the government will then have to coerce people to vote at a voting station to get offices filled."
Oh no, they'd have to _convince_ them, if they wanted the job. Necessity is the mother of invention. I have faith and a slightly sadistic attitude towards politicians.
You wrote "I have faith".
I hope then that your prayers are answered...
Also, here is a link to another article (an Economist article this time) regarding Califorina and "The people's will".
Why subject America to the threat of another credit-rating downgrade
Going off the "cliff", would raise, not lower, our rating.
I've been wondering about that. I'm not saying that this will happen, but if I were a credit rating agency and I just saw necessary steps being legislatively forced on a deadlocked leadership, I might conclude that a downgrade was warranted.
Then again, I am not a credit rating agency, nor do I hope ever to be one, so my speculation here is under-informed at best.
I think part of the Fiscal Cliff Melange is another debt-ceiling limit for January. That's where the downgrade comes in.
The 'fiscal cliff' is a good thing because: Repubs can cry crocodile tears when taxes go up and say they didn't break the Grover pledge. They can blame the near-future economy on Obama again while they plan for 2016. They will try to reinstate the spending cuts on programs that play to their base or are in their district. Meanwhile, the true welfare part of the fed (not Soc Sec) is left for the Dems to try to defend. Cutting the whole budget at once will tell us which programs people truly want and need. And if history tells us anything, it is that the debt will be dealt with by printing money.
With the latest GOP counter-offer, the Norquist pledge is at the edge of a cliff and the GOP now looks like the centrist party.
Honest question: do you think that's a serious offer? I'm not assuming anything about the Dem's seriousness here, just thinking about the GOP. The $800 billion number seems to come from an early proposal by Erskine Bowles (not the Commission) that didn't lower rates, and in fact assumed the expiration of tax cuts for the top bracket. That doesn't jive with Boehner's "cut loopholes while also lowering rates" idea unless it's even more ambitious than the $50,000 deduction cap. I'd be impressed if Boehner went all in with something like a $20k cap and lower rates, but I'd be very surprised.
It's a start. Four issues from the Dem perspective -
1) New revenue from loophole closing is much more suspect than new revenue from raising rates. Which loopholes? The deal had better specify them in no uncertain terms, otherwise this revenue won't be happening.
2) A 2:1 cuts to spending ratio is too heavy on cuts. The American people want about a 1:1 ratio. There's no reason for the President to accept an offer that is to the right of what both he and the people want.
3) Everything gets cut but the military? Ummmm nope.
4) The President is being asked to walk away from the single most specific economic item that he campaigned on -- tax rates on high marginal income. I'm not saying that he wouldn't do that, but if you want that from him, you had better give A LOT.
But hey, at least we now have two proposals. Something to work with.
That is how it looks now and I'll be glad if it still looks like that way when negotiations conclude. Let conservatives and liberals have zero representation in government for a while. Centrists, who are probably the plurality of Americans have been unrepresented long enough, thank you.
Most of your comment is factually incorrect.
Bowles didn't provide any details on how to get to $800B. Bowles does NOT assume any tax cut expiration for the $800B. In fact, Bowles explicitly said his $800B is Boehner's plan.
Boehner does NOT say he'll lower rates ONLY that he'll cut deductions. A $50,000 deduction cap gets you to $750B.
1. A $50K deduction cap is currently the most talked about plan. Of course any final deal would have to be specific.
2. Excluding the $2 trillion in cuts already agreed to, the GOP wants 1.25 to 1 cuts to revenue, Obama wants 1 to 4 cuts to revenue and Bowles-Simpson recommended 1 to 1.
3. No mention of the military in the GOP proposal.
I forgot about the $50B in additional spending that Obama wants so it's really 1 to 4.5 revenue cuts to revenue that Obama wants. Now we know what McConnell laughed out loud at the offer and why even Obama supporters have been calling it an opening offer not to be taken literally.
The public wants free unicorns. The budget has to reflect reality, not what the public wants.
New revenue from loophole closing is much more suspect than new revenue from raising rates. Which loopholes? The deal had better specify them in no uncertain terms, otherwise this revenue won't be happening.
That's the second step. Cutting the deductions is more copacetic because it raises, not lowers, the marginal propensity to work. As for uncertainty, when you raise rates, but leave deductions in tact, people will start claiming more deductions, and the government will have to spend more money on the IRS, and the economy will be lamed. So what the effective tax rate is, or what the actual gain in revenue is is far more uncertain.
Instead, the apt metaphor for the partisan dance now on display in Washington is the game of chicken. Yes, chicken: the James Dean, "Rebel Without a Cause" dare-you game in which you die or are shamed for being the first to jump out of a car hurtling towards an abyss. The objective of the game is to glorify the bigger risk-taker, and it often ends in tragedy. -T.E.
With the latest GOP counter-offer, the Norquist pledge is at the edge of a cliff and the GOP now looks like the centrist party. - RR
You're right, they're wrong. Only one person is playing this game. I'm glad that Boehner has taken us out of this insane enterprise, now if Mr. Obama will just stop playing chicken and start playing President.
Bowles plan used the a variation of the "current law" baseline that they referred to as the "plausible law" baseline which assumed expiration of the top bracket tax cuts.
My point on tax rates lowering is directly from Boehner's letter:
"Instead, new revenue would be generated through pro-growth tax reform that closes special-interest loopholes and deductions while lowering rates."
If you're going to lower rates following an extension of the tax cuts, you're going to need an even tighter deduction cap than 50k to make up for the lost revenue from the lower rates. That's the dilemma.
As for the cuts, I don't mind them too much since most (using chained CPI for social security and relying on Obamacare to allow for an increase in the eligibility age for Medicare) are so backloaded that they'd do nothing for a few years, but we're still left with an amount of cuts almost equal to the sequester itself that need to make their way onto the drawing board.
Bowles-Simpson uses the plausible baseline on its way to its final plan. But final savings figures are from current policy, not the plausible baseline.
I missed that part of Boehner's letter. Good to know.
If you ask me, the Party of No (Repugs) should be charged with high treason & exiled to GITMO, asap. All they care about is party agendas & to hell with the nation.
I say bring back the tax rates to the Clinton times. Anybody earning over $200K pa needs to pay higher taxes, period. As for the astronomical defense budget, nothing but significant spending cuts, makes any fiscal sense.
The huge savings/income these moves would generate, should be applied to long-overdue infrastucture & education projects. Which in turn would generate hundreds of thousands of new jobs & put the nation back on the road to a better educated nation.
All it takes is an ounce of commonsense & a sliver of openmindedness to understand these basic home-truths. But the Party of No is so blinded by infantile partisanship, that it would not see the truth even if it hits them smack between their jaundiced eyes.
Raising taxes on the wealthy was one of the main themes of the Obama campaign for reelection. He cannot and will not back down, particularly given his experience in the past when he did so only to see the GOP escalate its demands. The election was a clear repudiation of the GOP tactic of obstruction and allowing it to continue is bad politics and bad economics. There is no chance of a grand bargain before the next Congress convenes as the GOP needs to be convinced first that Obama is not bluffing.
Why anyone is worried about the fiscal cliff is beyond me. When have the parties ever failed to come together on increasing spending, cutting taxes, and generally burying the future further in the muck?
Fiscal cliff? More like prosperity rocket. Going back to the Clinton tax rates and defense spending will slow economic growth and increase unemployment? The CBO is a Republican tool. For decades, the director, Douglas Elmendorf, has been making outrageous claims about the cost of universal health care. Universal health care saves money because people are healthier and more productive! Republicans have built this right-wing network of truthiness that cocoons them from reality.
And scene.
The Republicans just countered-offered with an old Erskine Bowles plan to save $2.2 trillion over 10 years.
Ben Bernanke is a classic spin-doctor of hype fear engaged mass degrade for profit policy. This media market spin - didn't he once say social security will be bankrupt.....this statement led towards a policy that forced a slowdown or delay in paying out unemployment benefits to countless thousands holding on by thread seeking work. Also, this triggered a false reading in the reading of unemployment levels. Here is the business strategy force millions unemployed american's at ages 59-62 forced to take some form of early social security or disability compensation. Upon taking early social security you are doing two things reducing unemployment numbers and reducing social security benefits paid out - once this occur then they announce the factor that social security was saved and unemployment rates reduced people "the lie well in the way of recovery!" Here is the issue with reduced benefits you will see those not able due to inflation be self-sufficient and rear their ugly heads in 10- 20 years as burden upon either their children on top of the deficit! Like we don't see Bernanke's lies and false propaganda - ask what snow job or fast one are these jokers trying to pull on us that will cost a hundred fold down the line!!!!
In my opinion, the best metaphor comes from the old Mel Brooks movie, "Blazing Saddles" in which the newly appointed (black) Sheriff of a wild west town is confronted by angry townspeople. The Sheriff pulls out his six-gun and points it at his own head saying, "Nobody moves or the "Sheriff" gets it". Only he used a now politically incorrect term for himself. The administration has pointed a gun to its own head and the GOP townspeople are frozen.
Somehow I don't think they are frozen because they are scared silly that he will pull the trigger. More likely they are frozen as in: Yeay, let's stay and watch him pull the trigger.
FISCAL CLIFF is a phony trick by both Republicans and Democrats. It is not going to happen only because it will hurt the most to the millionaires and billionaires and the both capitalist parties do not want to hurt their masters.

Should USA's Jason Brown cut or keep his ponytail? Your thoughts?
Keep it!
Cut it!
Should USA's Jason Brown cut or keep his ponytail? Your thoughts?
It's very unorthodox and usually if something is unorthodox it will go. Like Rippon's curls went but they did come back.
I remember when Morozov had Rippon's curls straightened.
It's the skating that counts, but appearances do make fans and some judges twinge.
Joubert's sail costume for Christofer Columbus
Weir's busy sequins and beads
I would prefer ALL skaters to wear black skirts for females, and black trousers for males, with black sweaters and white dickies underneath. Oh dear, the response from the female fans would be overwhelming. Figure Skating would lose its pagaent-like form of sport.
It's up to Jason. I'm sure he will cut it at some time in the future for a new look. Meanwhile, I'll keep to the skating.
I'd let Jason make his own decision, but if he's having trouble rotating his 3A, an extra asymmetrical pound or two of hair whipping around is probably not the world's best idea. It wouldn't make a huge difference, but I'd probably cut it off for now.
This is true, but it isn't what he does.
Depends on why he wants to cut it. Don't do it because other people want him to. But if he wants a new image for himself, as a skater and a person, and having a haircut is part of that revamp, then it's worth doing.
I think he should keep it for now. It is his trademark and while he may not be a household name yet people that catch glimpse of him skating will say, hei I like the kid with the pony tail.
Oh, keep it ! Save the scissors for a day when you really feel you need a change . Everybody gets one of those sooner or later.Then something like that can be a hugely reinvigorating .
He certainly never medalled in seniors. He was generally dead last.
Since Jason doesn't have any strong personal inclination to cut it, he should make it a career strategy: Keep the pony tail as a trade mark and cut it when he needs a publicity boost and when his hair change would actually make news.
The problem here is that this could really accentuate body types that vary from the "ideal," and let's face it, this is an ARTISTIC sport. Taking the art out would make it a trick competition, which I think you'd like, but most wouldn't. And I think the thicker women would really complain about having to wear a solid color with a sweater that bulked up their waist.
As for the hair, I agree with the poster above that he should only cut it if he wants to, and not because others want him to.

I am most disappointed in MEN for publishing this tripe. The author's comment, "I live in the wrong country," sums up his article perfectly. I suggest that he look for the "right" country where private property will not be a burden to him. There are any number of "People's Republics" which ban private property; surely, one of those would satisfy him.
My wife and I, although not large landowners, own 45 acres in Missouri. It has been a struggle to keep scum from the local towns invading our property, particulary during hunting season. They shoot at anything that moves, litter, dump trash, and, in general, are quite vocal about their "right" to enjoy OUR property. Fortunately, extensive damage to their vehicles over the past few years has dissuaded most of them from returning. Luddite squirrels, I can only guess.
The "rights" cited in this article are a mere step away from enjoying the "right" to a stranger's purse or house (purse-snatchers/burglars); the right to enjoy a stranger's body (rapist/molester), or the "right" to help someone out of this life if that person were in the way of the perpetrator's enjoying all of his/her "rights" (murder).
The situation has deteriorated to the point where both the wife and I felt compelled to obtain Concealed Carry Permits. Thanks to those who feel a "right," to enjoy another's property--such as the author of this crap--we no longer leave the house unless we are "carrying." We are both ex-military, well-trained, and seldom miss.
Shame on MEN for publishing this article, encouraging criminal behavior, and putting lives at risk (trust me: trespass here, and your life is at risk!).
Dear Sarah,
What the heck is a "Millian?" My wife and I constitute neither a "community or enclave." Instead, we are merely aging "Baby Boomers." Is it too much to think that what is ours should be ours? As old folks, we're not about to go "mano-a-mano" with the riffraff of the world. A .45 automatic equalizes many things.
Wishing you well,
I have similar feelings, but at the same time, I keep coming back to where does this stop? If you like a certain view, what's to stop someone saying "I want to come in your apartment because I don't believe you should be able to keep the view from your balcony to yourself"?
So on the 4th of July, if there's a fireworks display, people in skyscrapers just have to give up their rights because they have the best views and other people want to enjoy those views?
At some point, a person has to have the right to private property. If someone else wants to enjoy that beautiful view, they need to work hard and get property of their own so that they can enjoy it.

Protective dogs are a good thing. It's also good to have a couple of geese. They are pretty territorial and if they get a beek on you, they can leave quite a whelp. They hurt.
I would not suggest that a weapon be draw on anyone unless your life is in danger nor would I sic my dog on anyone. To do so puts you in a postition of being arrested, sued, going to jail, and losing your pistol permit. I would however suggest that you make sure your property is posted in accordance with the law, this allows for law enforcement who sees someone other than the owners to stop and question them and if they are tresspassing without written permission from you to be arrested for trespass. You can also put notice in the local newspaper that your property is posted and you will proscute. We pay lots of taxes, some of that money is used to protect us, I say let the the police handle this they are trained so let them do their job. We have the Sheriff Patol up here, they are out and about so have a pretty good handle on things in their local. A freindly wave, and introducing yourself puts you on their radar screen so if there is trouble they have a heads up. Also if you own a lot of propety and these guys are hunters, let them have access to your land. One other law enforcement up here are Conservation officers, they have power of arrest just like the State Police and The Sheriffs.

practicalman45 -- just wanted to let you know something about the way you pasted in the trespassing sign text in your post was causing technical issues for this forum. I fixed the problem, which is why your post looks different now. But I didn't change any of your text. Just wanted you to know.
Death penalty for trespassing? Seems abit harsh. For the first offense I think I'd vote for just puttem in the stocks and throw rotten veggies atem. The second time you burnem at the stake. After that??
I worked with a nutcase who shot at a hunter who accidently got on his land(no it wasnt posted). Last I knew he was still in jail.

Jordan Zimmermann faces Casey Coleman on Independence Day at Nationals Park.
It's the Fourth of July, and where would you rather be than at a ballgame in the nation's capital? (Well, maybe you'd rather be in Harrisburg for Bryce Harper's Class AA debut tonight, but that's another story.)
Here in the big leagues, the Nationals host the Cubs, who have dealt with all kinds of injuries to their pitching staff. Ryan Dempster was supposed to start today, but he was scratched with flu-like symptoms, so Casey Coleman (son of former Senators pitcher Joe Coleman) was called up from Class AAA for this game.
The Nats are dealing with their own nagging injuries, not on the pitching staff but in the lineup. Ryan Zimmerman and Michael Morse are both out today. Zimmerman has been experiencing what he called "general soreness" in his abdominal area, where he had the surgery, though he insists it's just a matter of getting himself back into midseason form, not a recurrence of injury.
Morse is still bothered by a badly bruised forearm. Team officials were worried at first Morse had suffered a hairline fracture (an X-ray suggested that could be the case) but an MRI revealed no fracture or other structural damage. Jayson Werth, meanwhile, is back in the lineup despite taking a fastball off his wrist yesterday.
Plenty of game updates to come here, and be sure to check the earlier Harper story for more details, including quotes from Mike Rizzo and Davey Johnson…

Again the Nats Manager throws J Zimm under the bus with the worst lineup possible. Starting to feel bad for J Zim.
- baseballswami - Jul 4, 2011 at 5:00 PM
No MM — sad, I hate to see him lose momentum hitting and I also hate to see him lose time after his one piddly error. I would rather see Bixler anyday, than any of the old guys because he is fast, smart and has more of a future with the team than any of the others. Zim has really pushed his recovery too fast – major abdominal surgery is no joke. One more week guys – then you can kick back and hugs your kids!
- gonatsgo - Jul 4, 2011 at 5:03 PM
Poor JZim – our sp's have had a rough road this year – always in close games, never any breathing room. We need a nice offensive explosion to give the pitchers a break.
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2011 at 5:04 PM
What a motley, punchless lineup! Zimmerman better pitch a shutout. Riggleman got out at the top.
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2011 at 5:12 PM
The Tigers just fired their pitching coach , Rick Knapp, due to the pitching staff sporting a 4.39 ERA. The Nats are batting just north of .230, worst in the NL, yet Rick Eckstein hangs on. Amazing!
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2011 at 5:14 PM
I'd almost rather have Bixler in RF than Werth.
- masnstinks - Jul 4, 2011 at 5:21 PM
I like the way Bernie is playing with the pitcher. Nyger used to cause havoc by doing that – I think it tires the pitcher out on a hot day. I also think it gets in his head. I think Bernie could do that more often. Way to go Danny!
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2011 at 5:32 PM
Scott from Burke says:I DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT Pirates pitchers hit our two best hitters, one friday and one saturday (yeah, I know werth's #'s are not great, but he CAN rake) and no National pitcher retaliated..the score was 10-2 on Saturday..they can't have been worried to put a runner on…that's soft. Defend your guys!

Been several plays over the last couple weeks that Ankiel (likely) would have made that Bernadina did not. From what I saw, all 3 runs the Cubbies have so far are a gift from Benadina.
- JaneB - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:09 PM
That was horrible. Looked like Werth called off Bernie and then neither one caught it. No offense is no offense, but that inningbis an example of why we HAVE to keep defense a priority. Ugh.
- Wally - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:09 PM
Bernie is having a very poor defensive game today. There should be no runs for Cubs. Instead, there are 3 and all earned. He really owes JZ today.
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:10 PM
How long until the sloppy defense is blamed on Davey Johnson's looser clubhouse? Instead of the fact that Bernadina is just playing the way he has always played? Games like today's just trigger so many flashbacks…
- Cwj - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:11 PM
I'm predicting that Werth will hit a homer today…I can feel it.Bernie is struggling in the outfield today, but everyone has an off day.Come on Nats. No excuse losing to the Cubs today. Go Nats!
- bgib - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:11 PM
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but a new manager takes over and makes a point of saying that he's not so concerned about defense, and suddenly we're back to the old Nats with balls clanking off gloves and throws being offline. To me,there's been a perceptible drop in whatever you want to call it, intensity or energy or whatever, and it's translated into lackadaisical play in the field.
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:14 PM
…and the answer would be one minute after my posting…
- Cwj - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:15 PM
Anon 2:10- I'm sure Davey Johnson knows how to manage a Team, inside and outside the clubhouse.Even though their confidence may be lower than it was a week ago, I'm even sure the players could manage themselves.
- Wally - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:19 PM
Bernie is a good player, and I like him on the team. But while I know many people here think he is the answer, he is not a full time CF. He has speed and athleticism but poor instincts, and I don't think that you can learn the instincts part. At least not at 26. The athleticism will lead to some spectacular plays like robbing Dunn of a homer, but the instincts part will get exposed by prolonged use. Speed can cover for poor instincts at the corner, but not CF. He can play there for limited periods, but not full time.Ideally he is the 4th outfielder for us.
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:20 PM
injuries, Nyjer like play in centerfield….it's the curse of Riggleman I tell you
- Oldguy - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:23 PM
Davey has said we can get to the playoffs this year. Now he's got to back it up. It's seems like his decisions are win now at all costs and to heck with the future. Matt Stairs, whatever he is, is not part of the future of this ballclub. Bixler is. Does jumping BH to AA have anything to do with that? Good or bad as a manager, JR was building for the future, and it was working. Now Davey is trying to jump start a run this year and so far it is not working. The big question is, how long will Rizzo and ownership go along with Davey's program?I keep wondering why Davey reminds me of Billy Martin.
- Mark'd - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:26 PM
Did Bernadina stay out to late last night? Should have caught the Pena triple and of course the pop-up.Should be 2-0 now. JZim had gone 11 straight giving up 2 or fewer runs until today. It is a shame he doesn't get run support but the defense behind him hasn't helped today.Then he has to provide his own offense.
- Bryan - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:32 PM
Bernadina has made a couple of nice plays in the outfield the last few days, which shows that he has got some talent (and definitely the legs). But his fielding today and his baserunning error on Saturday show that he doesn't always have his head in the game. Hopefully that will come with time.
- TimDz - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:33 PM
Debbie Taylor was just giving info about how to vote Morse into the ASG…then mentioned voting for Adam Jones as well…I know Angelos holds the tv rights, but I wonder if the O's announcers are doing the same on Morse's behalf? I don't typically watch their games…anyone else have any info

- Cwj - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:37 PM
TimDz- I remember last year there was an "alliance" between the Nats and Houston (or Arizona?) whereby both Teams' fans would vote for Zimmerman at 3B, along with whoever the other player was.Anyone remember that?
- gonatsgo - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:38 PM
cwj – you are sure Johnson knows how to manage a clubhouse? Really? Why? Because he did it 15 years ago? He seems lost – at times he can't even call up the name of a player: in an interview he said "our closer, you know, uhuhuhuh – yeah, Storen". As a special consultant we were told that he knew the team – I see no evidence that he ever even watched a game. He is trying to bluff his way through with saying things people want to hear. Just like his comment about the pitchers going longer – our pitchers have been famous for going long this year, that hasn't been a problem – they are usually lifted for a pinch hitter, not because of pitch counts. Also – he seemed not to know that Rizzo had built a club for defense – why was that a surprise to him? He has taken apart the pieces that were working well – he is playing around trying to figure it out as he goes along. The team is suffering because two stubborn men could not step back from the cliff and have a simple conversation. McClaren should have been kept in there – he knew the team very well, was respected and knew what was working. This guy might have a great reputation, but if he did not have a celebrity name, you would all be calling for his head about now. Everyone is dazzled by his reputation.The difference in this team's intensity and concentration is glaring.
- Jim Webster - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:41 PM
Shameful performance. Unacceptable. Fire the defensive coordinator. Oh wait, this isn't the Redskins. Or is it?
- baseballswami - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:42 PM
No errors listed in the box score. Letting the ball drop is not an error? Did anyone actually see Werth call Bernie off? If Werth did – then we need to stop putting it on Bernie. The real problem here is still a lack of offense. A two run error hurts most decent teams – it is fatal to ours.
- Oldguy - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:45 PM
gonatsgo:Agree 100%. As for McClaren, he said he'd go if Riggs went and then made it clear he wants no part of the dugout. West coast scout. That's as close as he wants to be. Sad.
- Cwj - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:47 PM
@gonatsgo- Those are good points, and I liked McLaren a lot as well.But still it's too early to start calling for his head.I didn't even do that with Riggleman. The team needs to hit, as Swami mentioned above.No manager can make a difference when the players themselves aren't hitting.
- Cwj - Jul 4, 2011 at 6:51 PM
If I had, say, the Phillies and was hired as manager I'd likely finish the season in the playoffs.And yes I would take that job

- Wally - Jul 4, 2011 at 7:16 PM
Baseballswami – nah, that was on Bernie. Werth maybe didn't charge it too hard figuring it was Bernie's ball, which can be criticized, I guess, but the CF has to direct traffic out there, and he never signalled that he couldn't reach it. He also reacted badly on a couple other balls that he recovered in time for. Looks like he may be having a problem picking up the ball.

Bernie has to take control of his turf, I.e. centerfield.
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2011 at 7:20 PM
gonatsgo – I tend to agree. DJ also talked about not playing as much small ball, not giving away outs. As if maybe he thought we were sac bunting all the time. He just sent Akiel up to sac bunt Desmond into scoring position.
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2011 at 7:34 PM
Well, I would've rather Nix hit a "Grand Salami" (what in the world FP?) but great job taking that and getting the walk to tie the game! Of course Jayson then strikes out but hey, now we're tied.

Marmol has more pressure to get a strikeout as opposed to a ground ball, perhaps l;eading to the wayward pitches.

Our manager stole this game after the great relief pitching gave him the opportunity
- Cwj - Jul 4, 2011 at 8:51 PM
Anon- I think Quade was counting on Marmol to strike out Pudge.But yeah, walking him would be the conventional philosophy.But, who cares what the Cubs did. The Nats took advantage and won
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jul 4, 2011 at 8:53 PM
Ford drive of the game Livo's bunt. Werth still a great baserunner though it would be nice to hit some.
- masnstinks - Jul 4, 2011 at 8:54 PM
I think the cubs manager gave it away when he had to take out his pitcher and just did not have anyone ready. Marmol is usually nasty but was not prepared and was pretty wild. Kudos to Jayson Werth – he put his game together today.I don't care if he hits hr's, just base hits, throws from the outfield, run the bases. Quade also did not walk Pudge and his bunter did not bunt. He lost control of the game in the late innings. Veteran Livo – the player of the game and kudos to the nats fans at the game who gave him a standing o.

Scott from Burke says:masnstinks (like the name): pitcher came out because of injury so the next pitcher gets as many pitches as he wants. Quade gets a lot of blame for this game, but not for that.
- Sunderland - Jul 4, 2011 at 8:59 PM
Glad to hear Davey J acknowledge Bernadina got bad jumps on balls hit to CF all day. My hope would be Lombardozzi comes up, plays 2B and hits leadoff, Espinosa back to his natural shortstop, and Ankiel and his better arm and defense in CF and batting 7 or 8 along with the catcher.
- Cwj - Jul 4, 2011 at 9:02 PM
Davey Johnson just said there was no sign for Werth's essentially game winning steal of 3rd.That tells me a lot about Jayson. He knew the pitcher was cold and took advantage.
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2011 at 9:03 PM
to borrow from the SF Giants….Torture!….but such an improvement….this team could be 2nd best team in the NL(behind Phils) if they learn to hit..
- masnstinks - Jul 4, 2011 at 9:04 PM
yes, when the pitcher is injured they do get as many pitches as they want – but it was pretty obvious that their coaching staff was caught with their pants down. He took his pitches once he got to the mound but you could see that he was rushed – he is usually a flame thrower with nasty stuff. I have rarely seen a manager look so confused and take so long to decide who is coming in. Livo and Jayson stole this one away from the Cubs. I am very in favor of using pitchers to bunt people over ( oh, I forgot, we don't give up outs to move people over?). They are the ones who bunt the most and are the best at it – it saves the other pinch hitters for actually swinging away. In this game – the Cubs made more mistakes than the Nats. Whew!! Another adrenaline rush!
- Sunderland - Jul 4, 2011 at 9:07 PM
cwj, the pitcher being cold or whatever had nothing to do with the steal of 3B. Neither the 2B or SS was holding Werth close to the bag. He was 1/3 of the way to third by the time Marmol released the ball. It was a big mistake by the infield, by the coaching staff and ultimately on Quade.
- FS - Jul 4, 2011 at 9:10 PM
Zimmermann's final line should be: 6 IP, at most 2ER, 5 SO. First Desmond showed his range but messed up and could not throw out Ramirez. Then Espinosa trying to get two outs and drops a soft liner. Jordan still had some more bad luck left when Bernie dropped that flyout. None of those were hits.However, Danny had couple of nice putouts, including that DP in the ninth (and Desi's quick throw to first). So yeah we probably should have won in ninth innings, but nice executions in the bottom of the tenth, first by Livo and then by Werth in stealing third.Anyways, glad to win this one.
- Cwj - Jul 4, 2011 at 9:11 PM
Sunderland- But still, Marmol could have glanced back and stepped off the mound.Aren't pitchers instructed to do that?But yeah it doesn't matter. I'll take this win
- Steady Eddie - Jul 4, 2011 at 9:18 PM
I was sitting behind the Nats dugout w 2 of those comped seats (Red Carpet) Mark wrote about, and saw Livo laughing all the way down the first base line. How could we not give a standing O to someone who's a consummate pro at his work and is tickled silly to be doing it. By the way, Marmol had been warming up in the top of the 10th while Mateo was (sign over the BP mentioned them both). He obviously had stopped when Mateo came in, but it wasn't as if he was really stone cold. Given the injury, he could have asked for mire warmup pitches but didn't.Also, Wirth's steal was not a Cubs dugout blunder. Marmot has a weird and long delivery (for a pitcher from the stretch) and Wirth's steal was all on him.
- Sunderland - Jul 4, 2011 at 9:24 PM
Werth would not have tried to steal third in that situation unless he was 100% certain he had it. And he was certain he had it because Castro and Barney were both 50+ feet away from 2B. Those two gave him a huge running lead. It was all on those two. Catcher should have noticed. 1B could have noticed. Coaches could have noticed. No one did.
- eddie brinkman - Jul 4, 2011 at 9:25 PM
It was on the first pitch….Davey called it
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2011 at 9:37 PM
The steal? No one called it. Werth simply took what the Cubs gave him.
- natsfan1a - Jul 4, 2011 at 9:39 PM
Re. Marmol being cold, he'd been up twice in the 'pen.Re. Bernie/Werth misplay, on the replay you could see Werth saying "I thought you were going to call for it" or something like that. I don't think either one called for it. Bernie didn't seem to be seeing the ball throughout the game and could have thrown his arms up to indicate he didn't see it.Good for Werth for his two RBI (I don't care that they weren't well-hit), the gunning down of Pena, for drawing the walk to start the rally, and for his heads-up baserunning. Yeah, I'll admit it, I was saying "take that, Werth-haters" to my tv set. Nice to see him celebrating with his teammates after scoring on the WP.
- natsfan1a - Jul 4, 2011 at 9:43 PM
That said, great to get the curly w but maybe a little work on the situational hitting front could be in order for a number of players. Heh.
- Tim - Jul 4, 2011 at 9:55 PM
That gane-winning run is something we could and should manufacture every game. We have the speed to put pressure on the other team to make plays. I love this kind of baseball and hate the "wait for the 3-run bomb"-type team.As the other team throws it all over the diamond, we take extra bases and it can lead to big innings.GYFNG!

@JaneB were you at the game against the Mariners wednesday night? Lannan vs Bedard. There was a fat kid running around in the lower level on the right side. trying to start the wave and some lady screamed at him. Btw was that you???
- Cwj - Jul 4, 2011 at 10:12 PM
Anon 6:03- Fat kid? What the hell man?There's no need for an adult to speak like that about a kid.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jul 4, 2011 at 10:47 PM
@ Steady Eddie. How does one get a comp ticket. 50 years of going to ball I have never had one.I believe had Werth knew Bernadina was as lost as he appeared on TV on Soriano's fly ball, he could have caught it on the run fairly easily, but the ball was the centerfielder's to take, and he just went over because that is what you are taught to do. Werth had a good game, I hope it is a sign of things to come, I know people don;'t want to boo him, they want him to succeed.
- JaneB - Jul 4, 2011 at 10:50 PM
I loved that Livo came in to lay down that perfect bunt. Talked to the Cubs players chasing it the whooooole way to first base, too. Is there any player who gets more joy put of baseball than Livo? Rhetorical question, there.Last year, they drop the ball in CF and leave as many guys on base but they do not play a tenth inning and they do not win. Davey was managing the heck out of these guys. But I wonder who it was whi said you could count on Livo for that bunt? He hasn't been paying THAT close attention.
- JaneB - Jul 4, 2011 at 10:52 PM
Anon at 6:03. It was me. Gulp.
- JaneB - Jul 4, 2011 at 10:54 PM
And actually I was yelling at his dad, not the kid. The dad was egging him on as he drank beer from glasses in both hands. And I didn't start yelling till the 8th and 9th innings. And he was certainly a plus sized kid.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Jul 4, 2011 at 11:04 PM
HEY, YOU KIDS!! Stop that waving!! And sit up straight! And don't fidget when I'm talking to you!And STOP TRACKING MUD across my nice clean floor!"

"The dad was egging him on as he drank beer from glasses in both hands." The dad was yelling "Chug! Chug!"? Little wonder the kid had a belly!
- Cwj - Jul 4, 2011 at 11:19 PM
*thankful I don't have kids*But do wish I was a plus size. Nothing worse than becoming rail-thin do to illness.Enjoy life. If some kid wants to do the wave then let them I say. Life is short.But back to baseball.Go Nats!

Scott from Burke says:I was at the Wednesday night game…right in front of the woman screaming at the fat kid. The first time or two she yelled I looked back at her. Finally I had the two kids I was with follow me and we sat somewhere else. She was CRAAZY and loud…was taking away from the pleasure of the game. WHile I normally hate the wave the fat kid was HILARIOUS. Also he had great seats and a personalized info..me thinks there is no shortage of food at his house.
- JaneB - Jul 4, 2011 at 11:21 PM
I know! I know! A curmudgeon with bad sentence construction. That's me. But I will rail against the wave and look askance at people who boo our own guys. I yam what I yam.

Well, Anon at 7:21, I am truly sorry I ruined your game experience. I'm niot kidding. I will say I had a half dozen people thank me on the spot. It takes all kinds. At least now you know what I look like.
- NatStat - Jul 4, 2011 at 11:30 PM
@ JaneB 6:54RE: Fat kid It was the minature reincarnation of Harmon Killebrew. Ever since they hung Killebrew's uniform top in the dugout, the smaller version of the Fat Kid has been haunting the games!

Football tries to get ahead of its concussion problem, but it might be too late
Blog Entry:
March 08, 2013 10:13 AM | Author: KEVIN KLEPS
Brayden Kleps loves to eat.
He also enjoys smiling, and he's a very good giggler for his age.
But will he enjoy football?
It's too soon to know, since my son is all of 4 months old.
As ridiculously premature as it seems, I think about that question every day.
Those thoughts sped up when
The Plain Dealer
wrote about a Cleveland Clinic-led study
of football players from John Carroll, Baldwin Wallace and the University of Rochester.
The study,
which can be found here
, says hits that don't result in concussions can still lead to brain abnormalities that linger for at least six months. It also showed that the players who suffered the most head blows had evidence of damage to the brain's protective barrier, along with changes in brain structure and function.
I wrote one of the NFL's biggest problems
is the stadium experience often isn't as enticing to fans as watching all of the games at home.
The elephant in the room I didn't address that day is concussions, the subject that has many parents, including me, wondering about their children's participation in the country's most popular sport.
My son, if he is anything like me, has as much of a chance of playing in the NFL as Mike Wallace does being underpaid when free agency kicks off this week.
But studies like the one done by the Cleveland Clinic get us thinking about football at a much more rudimentary level.
My first instinct, and time will tell if my wife agrees, is if my son wants to play a sport, I should let him play.
Kids play sports, and the lessons they learn along the way help them in almost every facet of life.
Football — where "bigger, stronger, faster" is no longer just an offseason motto used by high school coaches as inspiration — is a little different than the others, though.
There's a reason Don Van Natta Jr.'s
ESPN The Magazine
story on Roger Goodell
generated so much buzz this week.
Not because the piece was fantastic, which it was, but because the NFL commissioner, according to Van Natta Jr., has told people close to him he is "terrified" a player will one day die on the field.
The league is taking steps to make the game safer, and every youth league should do the same.
If you're like me, you'll want your son to play a sport he enjoys — while also worrying that the sport he likes the most will be the one you do, too.
No name change for SportsTime Ohio
Francois McGillicuddy, the new senior vice president and general manager of Fox Sports Ohio, is an interesting man. He has an extensive television and financial background, and he once ran a Shakespeare festival in Pennsylvania.
We'll have much more on McGillicuddy in the coming week in this blog and in
print edition, but there is one thing I want to pass along now after meeting the former executive of the Speed channel: There won't be a name change, at least initially, for SportsTime Ohio.
McGillicuddy said Fox Sports Ohio, which purchased SportsTime Ohio from the Indians in December for about $235 million, won't change the network's moniker as the Tribe's first season under Fox Sports' extensive regional channel umbrella gets set to start.
"I think it resonates with fans," McGillicuddy said of the SportsTime Ohio brand.
Don't splurge on him
NFL free agency kicks off at 4 p.m. Tuesday, but teams can begin negotiating with agents tonight at midnight.
The Browns, with almost $50 million in cap room,
are expected to be very big spenders
With that in mind, we'd like to offer one more public service reminder: Please stay away from Mike Wallace.
The (soon-to-be former) Steelers receiver isn't worth $10 million a year. And if
Brian Hartline has agreed to a five-year, $30.775 million deal with the Dolphins
, Wallace is certainly going to sign for at least $50 million.
Hartline has six touchdowns in four NFL seasons. Wallace has 32 TDs in that span.
At age 26 and with blazing speed, the latter is an enticing option for any team looking to win the offseason.
He also takes too many plays off, and the Steelers have a knack for letting players go at the perfect time.
Ask Santonio Holmes.
