Statewide Showdown
Perfect Game Staff
Tuesday, May 05, 2009
Say that title three times fast!
Bartonville Limestone hosted its second annual Statewide Showdown. And while the statewide representation was down due to a schedule change, it still served as a showcase for two of the best position prospects in the state.
On Friday night, in front of a dozen MLB organizations, Limestone's Seth Schwindenhammer and Oak Park-River Forest's Jo Jo Maldonado squared off in the unofficial opener of the event. Neither got a chance to show much. Schwindenhammer went 1-for-2 with two RBIs after being walked once intentionally and hit by a pitch. Maldonado finished 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Limestone, which led 8-1 after four innings, held on for an 8-6 win.
Schwindenhammer showed his power on Saturday, however, as he led Limestone (17-5) to a 10-1 win over rival Peoria Notre Dame (16-4). The sweet-swinging lefty was 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs, including a sixth-inning grand slam, and seven RBIs. He also turned a pair of double plays from centerfield by doubling runners off of first base.
Maldonado's OP-RF squad dropped a 10-7 decision to Illinois Valley Central on Saturday. Maldonado finished the day 2-for-4 again, but showcased a troubling trend as he committed his second error in as many nights. Illinois State recruit Jordan Parr had the hot bat for IVC, finishing 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and 5 RBIs.
Also impressive on the weekend were a pair of Wright State recruits. Beardstown lefty Tanner Howell struck out 12 and walked just one in a 6-3 win over Addison Driscoll. His future teammate, Sam Picchiotti of OP-RF, didn't stand out the plate, but displayed the type of gritty, winning attitude that inevitably seems to lead to success.
Finally, there was a bitten of a hidden gem on display. Washington senior centerfielder Alex Wilson is as physically gifted player that I've seen come through Central Illinois. At 6-foot-4, 210 pounds he cuts an imposing figure, yet still has good enough speed to have stolen home twice during American Legion play last summer. Injuries to his left knee and a torn finger tendon limited him as a junior and hindered his exposure. Finally healthy, he hitting .508 with 17 doubles and 15 RBIs for Washington (14-6). He's a player that colleges should be taking a closer look at.

Well, I'm taking a different view on this. Sure, life shovel dirt (manure) on you everyday, no big deal. My take is that the donkey is way too generous and kind. If I were the donkey, I'd have kicked the stupid farmer down the well, then told everyone that if they bury him alive ( for being cruel to animals in the first place) then they would be entitled to all of the farmers belongings he left behind! Even if the farmer escaped, he'd be penniless and the lesson of being an idiot would have been taught.

BTW, whoever left the lid off that well in real should be arrested! And then to take a picture????

Well,I think the application of this story depends differently to every individual. It is how you perceive situation and how you deal with it.

ENERGY RESOURCES Student worksheets Susana Amorós Ortega October-December 2008 ENERGY RESOURCES STUDENT WORKSHEETS LESSON 1.- ENERGY RESOURCES AND POWER STATIONS What are energy resources? 1. Energy resources. a) In pairs, think about different kinds of energy used to produce electricity. Make a list (if you don't know the word in English, you can draw a picture). b) Whole group discussion. In turns, tell your classmates which are the ENERGY RESOURCES you have written. We think that ___________ can produce electricity. _____________ is used to produce electricity. c) Complete the grid writing the name of the following energy resources. Susana Amorós Ortega 1 IES TORRE VICENS Lleida ENERGY RESOURCES STUDENT WORKSHEETS d) Are these energy resources renewable or non-renewable? Read the following text and complete the table below. Energy resources provide us with energy. There are different types of energy resources, including fossil fuels such as coal or oil, and stores of energy such as batteries or the wind. We can divide energy resources into two categories, non-renewable and renewable. Non-renewable energy resources cannot be replaced once they are all used up. That means they cannot be renewed or replenished. Once they are gone they cannot be used again. Renewable energy resources can be replaced, and will not run out (finish). RENEWABLE NON-RENEWABLE Solar energy Susana Amorós Ortega 2 IES TORRE VICENS Lleida ENERGY RESOURCES STUDENT WORKSHEETS 2. Complete these sentences using the most suitable word: a) Coal, natural gas and oil are all _________________ (renewable / non-renewable) energy resources. They release _______________ (energy / electricity) when they are burned. b) Wind and solar energy are _______________ (renewable / non-renewable) because they _______ (can / cannot) be replaced. c) Coal, natural gas and oil are called ________________ (nuclear fuels / fossil fuels). d) Two more examples of renewable energies are _________________ and _________________. 3. Match each kind of energy with the correct sentence. Underline the key words is generated from running water. Dams are built across a lake or Wave power river in a valley to trap water. The water flows through tunnels and turns the turbines which make electricity.

Small local substations reduce the voltage to 230 Volts for houses, schools and businesses. In towns, most cables are underground. Power stations make electricity. They usually burn coal or oil to work the generating machinery In towns and cities there are more transformers in substations. These change the electricity down to 11,000 Volts. The electricity is carried along thick metal cables called power lines. Some of them are carried overhead on pylons. Transformers change the voltage of the electricity up to 400,000 Volts so it can travel long distances. c) Write the process in the correct order: First ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________.

Kain arrives at the entrance of the Cathedral. He is immediately confronted by Raziel, whose eyes periodically glow green.
Raziel Kain. Why is this no surprise?
Kain Because our destinies run together, Raziel, like two rivers that have met and can never be distinct again. At your every fatal turn, you will find me.
Raziel And the free will you said was mine, what has become of that?
Kain You still have it. And that has everything to do with my presence here now.
Raziel It was your machinations that set my destiny in motion. The coin you tossed has struck the earth. Now you must abide by its outcome.
Kain The coin is still turning, Raziel. To reach the resolution we both can live with, that will best serve our futures, Janos Audron must not be raised.
Kain There is much more at stake in this than you know.
Raziel Yes, and it is Janos who has the answers I desire.
Kain You must trust me, Raziel. Our intentions - for Nosgoth, for our futures - are not so diverse.
Raziel I must trust you -- or?
Kain I have not come here to threaten you, Raziel.
Raziel You say that, while you hold in your hand the instrument of my doom?
Kain 'sheathes' his sword so that his hands are empty.
Kain I saved you from the Reaver once. I have no intention of imprisoning you within the blade.
Raziel At least not until the moment it serves your plans to do so.
Kain You are not the only one at risk. I may carry the instrument of your destruction, but I, too, have taken a chance in coming here. Or haven't you realized -- you bear the only weapon that can kill me.
Raziel summons the wraith blade.
Raziel Then you know what I am -- and who you are?
Kain I believe I do.
Raziel And still you think you can move me about like your pawn. Think again, Kain.
Raziel feints at him. Kain dodges.
Raziel Why? If we are who we are, then are we not destined to fight to the death, to decide the fate of Nosgoth?
Kain Don't be a fool. I will not fight you.
Raziel And that will be the prophesied heroes' battle? I win, because you will not fight me?
Raziel feints at him again, a little more seriously this time.
Raziel The mighty Kain, Scion of Balance, would-be savior of Nosgoth, surrenders before the final battle even begins --
He goes to strike again, but Kain pushes him off.
Kain Very well, if this will make you see reason --
They fight. Kain beats Raziel to a point where he is at a momentary disadvantage, and Kain has a chance to reason with him. Kain holds the Reaver on him, to keep him still.
Kain angrily Now - you will listen to me. The Heart of Darkness must remain undiscovered. Great harm will come of its use.
Raziel realizing You don't know where it is, do you?
Kain No -
Raziel -- you never looked for it.
Kain growing impatient It doesn't matter, Raziel. Listen to me - you must understand that every creature is bound to one predestined path. We are all shackled--
Raziel --to the Wheel of Fate. Believe me, I know that even better than you do.
Kain ignores Raziel's interruption and continues his thought --
Kain All but one. Because of your re-making, you are the one unbound creature, the one among us all that truly has free will. You have a choice, Raziel --
Raziel Which I'm sure I must make at your direction. Your pawn has reached the end of the board, Kain. And now my powers may even surpass yours. How ironic if the creature that you made should prove your own undoing. Now - we finish this. Once and for all.
Kain No - Raziel--
Raziel in horror and rage Vae victis--
Kain I didn't--
His words are cut off, as Raziel plunges his left hand into Kain's chest -- breaking Kain's grasp, and aborting his soul's absorption into the Reaver -- and pulls out Kain's heart: the Heart of Darkness. He holds it up to Kain. Kain emits a hallow wheeze.
With his new telekinetic powers, Raziel blasts Kain backward -- he is swallowed up into a dimensional rift, and disappears. Raziel staggers backward, the Heart in one hand, the wraith-blade in the other. This was a reflexive act -- even he can't quite believe what he's just done. He breathes heavily as the rush of adrenaline fades.

Leading By Jeremy Lin's Example
Even if you are not normally a sports fan, it has been impossible to miss the emergence of New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin. Lin is a remarkable story on multiple levels. Most obviously, basketball players do not typically emerge from obscurity the way Lin has over the past month. In addition, Lin has shattered two prominent stereotypes—he's one of the few Asian-American players to find success in the league, and he's a Harvard graduate. But for business owners, Jeremy Lin is more than just a compelling underdog story. Here are three lessons that you can apply to your business:
1) If you don't believe in yourself, you can't expect anyone else to. As a high school student, Lin dreamed of playing basketball at the college level. However, he failed to receive even a single scholarship offer. As a result, he chose to attend Harvard and "walked on" to their basketball team. Upon his graduation from Harvard, Lin again appeared to be unwanted—no NBA team was willing to draft him. Lin was ultimately signed and then cut by both the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets before getting his chance with the Knicks. Had he believed what the "experts" thought about him, Lin would have given up on basketball and pursued a different career. But he didn't, because he had confidence in himself and strong vision for the future—do you?
2) Unselfish leadership is the only way to truly inspire others to follow. Sportswriters and broadcasters have noted that one of the more remarkable aspects of Lin's emergence is the way in which his teammates have embraced him. There are plenty of players with as much or more talent than Jeremy Lin—but you're not likely to find any as unselfish. Lin consistently puts his teammates first, and he's been rewarded with their loyalty and support.
3) Consistency is more important than a flash of brilliance. The unspoken question that even the most devoted fans of Lin must ask themselves is "how long can this continue?" Right now, Lin is dominating headlines across the nation—but will we still be talking about him three months from now? All signs are that Lin is the "real deal"...but it's too early to know for sure. If he is able to maintain his high level of play, he'll be a household name for years to come (not to mention a millionaire many times over). But if he proves to be erratic and inconsistent, he will lose the trust of his teammates, and his star will fade rapidly. Think about your leadership for a moment. Are you consistent? Do your employees know what to expect from you? Can they depend on you to make the right decisions for the future? The answer to those questions will go a long way towards determining your effectiveness as a leader.
Jeremy Lin is a great story for basketball fans—but he offers more than just entertainment to business owners. Which of these lessons can you apply as you lead your organization into the future?

The government intends to set its mining royalties at 9% for both open-pit and underground mines.
Government claims it was not notified according to the law.
But the fund warned that only further tightening of fiscal and monetary polices would contain the country's large deficits.
Zambian government rethinking steep royalty hikes that went into effect on January 1.
The new rules only apply to future payments and not amounts already owed.
Newly elected President Edgar Lungu wants to keep mining royalties at 20%, as opposed to the 6% companies were paying a month ago.
The situation may soon change, as authorities have began talks with the country's top miners, signalling the possibility of a compromise over the country's new tax regime.
Despite the government announcement Tuesday that it will push ahead with plans to more than triple mining royalties.
Move will leave up to 12,000 jobless and it is likely to sour the already fractious relationship between the government and mining companies.
The Canadian giant had earlier said it would consider such a move in the event the new tax regime was approbed.
There are indications Zambia may be backing away from plans to impose a 20 per cent royalty rate on open pit mining in the country, a top executive with Barrick Gold Corp said on Thursday.
The increased mining tax framework included in Zambia's 2015 Budget earlier this month has been subject to criticism as, according to the Chamber of Mines of Zambia (CMZ), it will reduce the country's attraction for mining investment and reduce employment.
The miner, Zambia's largest foreign investor, operates Kansanshi mine, the eighth largest copper mine in the world, as well as the country's biggest.
Energy and Water Development Minister Christopher Yaluma says security wings have managed to trace some illegal gold miners and dealers on the black market in the ongoing investigations.
Underground mining royalties will go up from 6% to 8%; underground taxes now 20%.
Zambia's mines minister says the company has not officially communicated the government its intentions as required under the country's law.
The company is cutting 169 jobs at the mine.
The standoff marks a major setback for the miner, which is in the process of upgrading its copper assets in Zambia hoping to increase output by at least 50% by 2017.
The business group argues the sector must be nurtured to generate the revenues needed for the country's economic diversification.
Rule requiring exporters to produce import certificates from destination countries in order to claim tax refunds will be waived beginning Sept. 8.
Good news for the country's copper miners that have been seeking more than $600 million in unpaid tax refunds.
The European Investment Bank will not make public the findings of a 2-year tax-avoidance investigation into the Swiss giant's Zambian copper operation.
Zambian fiscal regime highly uncertain.
Africa's number two copper exporter seeks IMF assistance.
Mining companies in Zambia use about 68% of the country's electricity, while less than a quarter of the population has access to it.
It will connect the landlocked country's vast copper mines to the Atlantic coast.

Interested in everything History,Biology,Astronomy,Physics,Chemistry,Theology,Mysteries,Science Fiction,Drama, and much more!!
"Does not live up to the hipe"
A male narrator. The story needs to provide more background to how the world depicted in Agenda 21 came about. The background story would have given context.
She does a good job but the story needed more.
It does paint a picture of a world similar to 1984 but much darker.
"Really Though Provoking- Faction!"
Faction in time
What can happen if we don't wake up to what's around us
Enjoyable story line on a subject that is not that appealing
Keep 'em honest
"A book that will draw you in till the very end!!!"
It's the best book that I have read! I haven't had a book that draws you in and makes you feel like you are right there with the characters and all their emotions that they are feeling.
I loved Emmeline and how she is discovering all the changes and how she evolves to a strong woman.
Emmeline was the best character performed by January and her voice made her come to life.
The Fast and Furious Future of The Unknown America
A must read for people that quench for truth and knowledge.
"I really enjoyed this book"
I love the entire subject. Reminded me of a book I read back in 2000 called the Illuminati by Larry Burkett.
I thought the narrator was great. Very soothing voice
I never really had an ending. What did I miss? the book just stopped when the girl got out the fence and ran and then Beck came in with his announcement. Was that the ending? I felt I was left incomplete. Or maybe I didn't get the whole book?
"A good look at the extreme result of Agenda 21"
Yes I would, while I am all about taking care of our earth, we must do so with balance. This books helps you to see the direction that local and even the federal government is slowly taking. While I saw slowly, it could easily become quickly and drastic.
There were several but hard for me to write down, I enjoyed the detailed descriptions of the people envolved and of course the Afterward.
Unlike a few others, I though she did a good job, it was easy to listen to, and she gave depth to the people she discribed. I even enjoyed her "man" voice.
Long-term AIDS survivor, losing eyesight from complications. Ex software developer & Chicago dance club DJ. Born again & love life left.
"Juvenile writing. Bad editing/rush to publication"
I have most of Glenn's books but this is the first including Ms. Harriet Parke. I found the writing/dialogue juvenile. The imagery was far to weird for a period in time not that far removed from the pre-Republic era. For the first time in my life, as I was listening to the book, from scene to scene I thought, "I could have written such a better storyline"; and I'm not a writer! I have no doubt in my mind that this book was rushed from conception to publication. It could have been so much better. So so much better.
Actually I'd be interested in a re-write of THIS book by another author. Agenda 21 has the potential to be a great read and a great movie.
Because I was continually distracted by the poor writing, the negative impression carried through to Ms. Lavoy's performance. As this was the first time I've heard her narrate a book I'd try at least one more by her before I make a firm decision.
I appreciate your work Glenn, but this is a real stinker!
"great way to get nieve kids attention"
Glenn yes, Fiction I don't know
nice and neat
good reader, nothing to dislike
want to listen to this with my family on a road trip, excellent way to get them to ask questions
Although the plot is a little predictable, it is entertaining, hopefully entertaining enough to get peoples attention. I'd like to see a tv mini-series or made for tv movie
"Is there really an Agenda 21"
The story was engaging and I didn't want to put it down. It's a good story about what could happen in a Socialist type society when pushed to the extremes. What is interesting to listen to is the commentary at the end where the author discusses Agenda 21 and the ramifications he envisions if any or all parts are put into play. Some I agree with, some I disagree with. I have to admit my ignorance of such a summit and such a document. I just googled "Agenda 21" and downloaded the document. In these days where the World's current structure is collapsing all around us, it could be a good document to read and understand.
"It's bad."
I'm a Glenn Beck fan - have most of his books, love his radio show, etc.. This is awful. The actress reading the novel and acting the parts is terrible. The plot is laughable. It might as well have been called The Vagina Monologue, but that title is already taken. This may be the most evil thing brought about by Agenda 21, which I do view as a threat to the United States. Skip it.
I am an artist, living in Cairns, Queensland, Australia right next to the Great Barrier Reef. I listen to audiobooks everyday while making art and on into the night. I really like mysteries with a good serving of suspense on the side that keep you wondering right to the end. However, I won't say no to any entertaining and well written book which has been read by an excellent narrator.
"ridiculously far-fetched"
about as believable as going to heaven or hell. This writer and his ilk are really paranoid to the extreme. They must have very miserable lives.....
Trying to make one a true believer through fiction is an old trick. This book, however, is not even a good story, nor is it well written or narrated. See for yourself, if you like, but I would not waste a credit.

The Rough Guide to Youssou N'Dour & Étoilé de Dakar
(World Music Network import)
With Étoilé's Stern's Africa CDs gone the way of all licensing deals, how can I say no? Maybe somewhere there was more exciting music circa 1980punk L.A.? soukous Montreuil? hip-hop South Bronx? But don't bet on it. Exploding out of this one band and the mad rivalries it engendered, early mbalax is the grail, the very essence of musical conflict resolution not least because the groove can't quite resolve the conflict. Great singers jostle for space among spiky tamas. Horns and guitars augment and one-up each other. You never know what'll happen next. But everything they do gonna be funky. A PLUS
Additional Consumer News
Given how essential both bands' regular albums are, Nirvana and the Clash's The Singles aren't, but both are superb high-focus introductions. Ditto for The Best of Louis Armstrong: The Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings, which crosses purposes with two worthy boxes, and The Best of James BrownVolume 2The '70s, a budget boil-down of the funk Star Time canonizes. Tricky: A Ruff Guide is his second-best UniMoth album, not least because it re-makes/re-models half of Maxinquayewithout mentioning ass-fucking once. What a nice present.

The winter 2007 issue of Risk&Regulation, the magazine of the Centre for Analysis of Risk and Regulation| (CARR) is now out.
In the latest issue, CARR director Bridget Hutter discusses the difficulties for regulators of balancing different interests in risk regulation in a changing world.
Professor Hutter's article is online at: Risk&Regulation Magazine|
As recent events in the financial markets have revealed, consumer understandings of risk and their levels of financial knowledge can leave them vulnerable and ill-equipped in their panic.
Another central theme is the increasing use of quantification and performance measurement in risk regulation regimes.
This issue of Risk&Regulation considers the behavioural effects of different performance regimes in both the public and private sectors on organizations and their customers.

Getting a new fork. I have ridden suspension at the park but am tired of the huge weight penalty. I have a dented dmr fork that has been fine but I since Black Market is sending me the "first" retail bought Edit 1 frame this week, it's time to consider a new fork.
So, I think I want to go with a 20mm rigid, since I have a 20mm wheelset to use. I like the look of a straight blade fork but don't care enough to buy one just for looks.
So.. Gusset, DMR or what?
By the way, I am a heavy dude. 240 on a light day. And I am fairly aggressive.

Police cars collide trying to catch car thief
The Mirror
Two Federal Way Police cars pursuing a stolen vehicle Thursday collided with each other, but the thief didnt get away.
The crash occurred at approximately 10:20 p.m. in the citys downtown area. Neither officer in the incident was seriously hurt, officials reported.
According to officials, police officers were following a reported stolen vehicle northbound on Pacific Highway South. Two other officers were en route to assist when their patrol cars collided at the intersection of South 312th Street and Pacific. The police car traveling north on Pacific struck the one heading east on 312th.
The cars were heavily damaged, but the officers suffered minor head or knee injuries and were taken to a hospital for treatment, according to police commander Greg Wilson.
Meanwhile, other officers stopped the stolen vehicle and arrested the suspected thief, he said.
Federal Way Police were investigating the collision.

In a recent survey conducted by the Board of Tourism, zero out of ten thousand people said they would rather vacation inside a kerbside wheelie bin over a villa in the south of France.

Get your wheelie bin sorted when you grab six monthly wheelie bin cleans from EnviroBin for just $29.
A dirty bin can be a haven for disease and bacteria which can cause flu, stomach bugs, and even Hepatitis A. It can also be a breeding ground for flies, maggots, cockroaches, rats, and other pests. Banish bacteria – as well as dirt and that stomach-churning smell – with monthly cleans from EnviroBin. Their service does what your home's garden hose simply can't; their hot water, pressure-cleaning process deodorises and sanitises, leaving your bin germ-, disease- and odour-free.

Good news:

How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.

Jewish World Review April 7, 2003/ 5 Nisan, 5763
Marianne M. Jennings The other casualties of war
http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com |
It was clear a fair fight was not in the cards when Iraqi soldiers crossed the Kuwait border and surrendered to Brits who were just
testing their weapons. While all jolly well good, the British paratroopers explained, war starting is a prerequisite to taking POWs, or
the new and improved, EPWs. The disappointed bumpkins returned to Iraq.
Hearing Hussein's blustering about that infidel "little Bush" and seeing no Iraqi air force, the thinking among us predicted coalition
conquest even if U.S. forces stopped for afternoon tea and crumpets with the Brits during an Iraq march amidst sorties galore.
Media moans about U.S. ineptitude were not thwarted by the obvious. NPR and al-Jazeera declared U.S. defeat on March 19
because Centcom could not confirm Hussein's death. One NPR commentator called it an "embarrassing failure." Peter Jennings
pulled out Vietnam quagmire analogies 36 hours into the war. ABC's lead reporter left the region in a snit because Gen. Tommy
Franks wasn't doing the briefings.
Imagine the American Revolution with today's media. "Nathan Paine, Green Mountain Crier. Gen. Washington, your war plan did
not include ice in the Delaware. Doesn't a crossing depart from plan? And, again, how long will this war take?"
Media and liberals' tantrums vis-�-vis this war is last gasps from perpetually adolescent yuppies who have held our country in a
forty-year chokehold with their peacenik attitudes and political correctness. Since their bra burnings and sixties' protests, these
narcissistic nihilists have banished faith and patriotism from sea to shining sea even as they embraced every despot from Castro to
Hussein. The passing of intellectual cowardice and amoral arrogance are welcome casualties of this war. An anti-intellectual in the
White House possessed of deep faith and a sense of right and wrong, has, through the simple act of freeing a people, banished the
liberal left to irrelevance.
Realizing their very existence was on the line, liberal desperados and their media cohorts pulled out all stops with transparent
disdain. Their peace and diplomacy consisted of wishing ill upon their countrymen. Prof. Nicholas DeGenova, speaking at an
antiwar teach-in at Columbia, called for "a million Mogadishus," and added, "The only true heroes are those who find ways that help
defeat the U.S. military." A San Francisco protester's sign read, "We support our troops when they shoot their officers."
Leftists imploded as the Iraqis were vanquished. The brutality of Hussein unfolded to the world, thanks to a brilliant military strategy
of embedded reporters welcomed along for the ride. Chemical suits and Hussein antics were chilling truths.
With no hope for spin on such horror, the liberal strategy changed to making stuff up. USA Today, the New York Times,
Washington Post, LA Times, Time, and CNN had the U.S. losing the war. Only Fox News and the Washington Times reported on
the real fighters in Iraq: women in cars with children and bombs. When the coalition conquered Baghdad, the New York Times
challenged, "But, how do we define victory?"
Their desperation was comedic. Peter Arnett told the Iraqis, on camera in Baghdad, that the U.S. war plan was fundamentally
flawed. Coalition bombs dropped in the defenseless city as he spoke.
The Los Angeles Times admitted that its front-page photo on March 31 was a fraud. Brian Walski, its photographer, used digital
technology to blend 2 photos into one to make it appear as if a British soldier was threatening an Iraqi citizen.
Democrats capsized in a sea of public approval for the war. The Times had a facile response for 75% approval polls, "There's no

Filmmaker Michael Moore pontificated at the Oscars about Mr. Bush's "fictional election." The teamsters' booing and Bill Conti's
orchestra shut him down. Music and blue-collar workers taking down a Hollywood lug head offered priceless symbolism.
Natalie Maines, one-third of the Dixie Chicks, said she was "ashamed" of our president. Their CD sales fell nearly 60% in one

newfound First Amendment zeal could help Dr. Laura, Michael Savage, Clarence Thomas, and a cadre of conservatives who have
been banished by these same leftists.
The last gasp is never pretty. Liberals and the media outdid their own legendary inconsistencies. Peace protesters were violent, but
only about warmonger Bush, not Hussein. PETA protested the use of dolphins to find mines that kill humans. High school dropout
Cher called the president stupid. Pristine media leftists abandoned journalistic ethics and resorted to Iraqi-type propaganda. Two
desperate groups were deposed. Hussein's regime ended. Liberalism died a painful death and the mainstream media require
long-term credibility rehabilitation. Prognosis for recovery: questionable.
