The Williamsburg Address.
Four kush scores and seven Northsix shows ago our hipster fathers brought fourth on this sub-borough a new scene, conceived in exclusivity, and dedicated to the proposition that none of us need to freak out and move to Bushwick.
Now we are engaged in a great gentrification war, testing whether our subculture, or any subsets within our subculture, so smug and so ironic, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war: the McCarren Park Pool.
We have come to rest our fedoras on our tattooed chests and dedicate a rent controlled portion of that park, as a fair trade coffee shop for those who gave their artist's lofts that that nation of twentysomethings might continue to snark. It is altogether as fitting as a pair of our jeans that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this former bandstand. Why? Because we're fucking hipsters to the core, and we simply refuse to give a shit.
The brave hipsterati, bearded and bespectacled, who struggled on these streets before being priced out, have shrouded it in permanent air quotes, far above our poor power to tumbl or tweet.
The mainstream will little note, nor long remember our haircuts, but it can never forget that the bands were decent, the brunch tasty.
It is for us the blogging, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished video art, graphic design, and music which they who sublet here nearly got a book deal out of or play on NPR's All Songs Considered.
It is rather for us here to reluctantly rise before noon to the great task remaining before us—that from this hipster diaspora we take increased smugness to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of smugness—that we here highly resolve that these vanquished hipsters should not have scuffed their Chucks in vain—that this neighborhood, under Vice, shall have a new birth of cool—and that the internet startups of the hipster, by the hipster, for the hipster, shall not perish from these condos.

text: silver mining Mountain Edition - June 26th, 2014 By Elise Thatcher & Marci Krivonen • Jun 26, 2014 Good afternoon and welcome to Mountain Edition. This week, Republicans decided who's going to run against Democratic governor John Hickenlooper this fall. Bob Beauprez is a former Congressman and wants to put government red tape on ice. Republicans also chose to keep Representative Scott Tipton as their candidate for the sprawling 3rd Congressional District and we'll hear from his Democratic opponent, Abel Tapia. Finally, to get a break from all the politics, we'll take a tour of Aspen's Smuggler Mountain and its profitable mining history. That's all coming up on Mountain Edition, right now. Bumpy Tour Gives Visitors A Glimpse Into Aspen's Mining History By Marci Krivonen • Jun 24, 2014 Rob St. Mary This summer the City of Aspen is partnering with the Aspen Historical Society to show off Aspen's mining history. Silver mining on Smuggler Mountain was big business in the late 1800's. Now, remnants of that legacy are easy to find and highlighted on a weekly public jeep tour. Aspen Public Radio's Marci Krivonen went along for the ride, bumps and all, and filed this report.

I run full marathons and eat healthy but there is always room for ice cream and a few drink''s on the weekend. I can put on the dress and heels and look great but I prefer to be in shorts and t-shirt or in a running/yoga outfit which I find to be sexier then getting dressed up. I am loyal, honest, fun and love to laugh. I have no problem with people laughing at me... I am a little silly. I have amazing friends and family who mean the world to me and I would do anything for them. I am looking for someone who is real and who loves life and wants to learn new things. My favorite movie is Swingers and a few classic movies by John Hughes.

Yeah and it wouldn't be the first time a company has apologised by donating money to help with the plight of a family. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that they could've foreseen this happening.
same thoughts here... at moment, 3 family memebers are being charged with endergerment of a child etc, so to help with laywer fees for them, and medical expenses for her, first thing that came to mind was "lets cash in while we can"
In relation to your edit, they've already set up a donation page on Facebook!

HondaVsTheWorld Alaska to Argentina on a 24 year old Honda C90
View Single Post
Joined: Sep 2011
Oddometer: 54
Throughout my life I had been searching for Jesus. I found him working in a Hostel in Tequila.
I was in a lot of pain and discomfort while in Tequila, but I was trying to put on a brave face and get on with it, but things had got very bad.
Unfortunately for me Jesus in the Hostel didn't have the same healing powers as his name sake, so I resigned myself to seeing a Doctor.
I went to the Hospital Loreto in Tequila and met Doctor Luis Loreto at the door. He arrived at the door in his bathrobe with a piece of toast in his hand.*I started explaining in my best spanish that I was not well. Once I got the the part of the
he paused looked at his toast and gestured for me to come in.
I waited for a few minutes while he finished his breakfast and dressed himself.
He brought me into his treatment room/0ffice. In these situations with limited language you cannot beat around the bush, try to be polite etc. you have to get straight to the point to make sure you are understood. I said I have mucho pain in my ass and there is some blood. He understood that alright.
After some examinations he asked me to get up on the table with a knowing smile sencing my*embarrassment. Keen to get it over and done with I got up pulled my trousers down a little and buried my face in the pillow awaiting the*inevitable*examination. "No senor, pull your pants up and turn the other way please". *Damn it! How*presumptuous*of me, I had been in a similarly *presumptuous*situation before with a lady. . It was a little*embarrassing.
After the prelim examination I did indeed recieve the*inevitable*butt examination which I had been dreading. He had also proded up a supository which had me in severe agony.
"No words required.."
The doctor sencing that I was somewhat traumatised after the ordeal exited the room and switched off the lights, and left me there like a rape victim to ponder my thoughts and wallow in my shame.
He returned after 15 minutes or so with a big tin basin of water and instructed me to pull my pants down and sit in it.
"What just sit in the bucket?"
"In the middle to the room?...,what here?.... just like that?".
"Si, Si" he continued
Most of this was not actually conveyed in words but embarrassed glances and wide open*frightened*eyes on my part.
Oh well needs must I suppose, I was in pain.
I pulled my pants down and lowered myself into the bucket. "Ouch!" "agua caliente!".
How*embarrassing. He left me there sitting in the "bucket" for a good 25 minutes while he went about his business, coming and going and me the gringo just sitting *in his office in bucket with my pants around my ankles. How degrading, how*embarrassing, but I had lost all dignity and*sense*of pride over the last few days and all I wanted was relief. I thought how*strange*this must look. I was laughing at the situation myself and the doctor too, he knew how I was feeling. At one stage he sat at his desk doing paper work, while I sat on the floor in a tin bucket. I couldn't bring myself to make eye contact with him or to make small talk. I felt like what I imagine a dog might feel like when you make eye contact with him while he's dropping one in the park. "Stop looking at me!this is*embarrassing*enough"
"No words required.."
Dr Luis later went into the adjoining bathroom area to wash what I presumed were medical instruments, presumablely for use on me. I could hear them *being tapped on *the sink. After a while I said , so what happens next? in spanish. Que pasa proxima? (i think). He looked past the door so I could see him and he said something. I'm not even sure what it was, it was more the patches of shaving foam on his face and the razor in his hands I was fixed on. He had been shaving. Oh well I had*interrupted*his breakfast all the same!
After the bucket incident he instructed me to get up on the table again. I stepped up*reluctantly* again pulled my trousers down a little and lay face down again.
He said, "turn around" in spanish, *Damn it I had done it again!! *its not exactly like I have fond memories of the last ocassion but I know where it hurts and its not in the front!
He proceeded to carry out some other abdominal examinations.
After I was issued some supositiores, some fiber, anti parasitic*medicine.
When i returned to the hostel I recounted the story in my best spanish to Jesus the hostel owner and Carlos his friend. I said what happened to much laughter but I said "Pero el es muy simpatico tambien". Trying to say that despite my ordeal and what the Doctor subjected me to that he was nice Doctor. Jesus said
"Si, Si, pero, el es muy gay tambien......"
Ekkk, hit the breaks. What, You mean a gay dude put his finger in my butt!
Much laughter was had at my expense..
In the end it took another visit to Dr Loreto and some new drugs to help my problem. I spent the next few days sitting in a bucket of hot water 3 times a day back in my room at the hostel. I had*inflammation*of the anus, following the squits*apparently*made worse by my two days riding in*sweltering*heat without a shower, due to the overnight boat and then my camping the following night.
Despite Dr Loreto being as gay as Christmas, he was extremely professional, a genuine nice guy and a good Doctor. Old school health care at its beast, he done everything from examinations, filling the bucket,*administering*drugs, getting me drinks. Thanks Doc
So as I*finish*editing this I have left Tequila and I am now in*Guadalajara. I am feeling much better and am on the mend. Perhaps you are not really interesting in reading about my health issues but, this is reality with a long trip such as this and there is no point in sugar coating anything. Also, maybe you are surprised at my being so candid about my experiences, but if you can't laugh at your own misfortune, well, you are taking yourself too seriously and you remove the right to laugh at others people's*misfortunes, which I like to do*occasionally*:-) ( but only when nobody get hurts .. or maybe gets a little bit hurt).. like a skate border doing the splits on a railing..

text: Media Streaming music services are giving the music industry a huge revenue boost Image Credit: ra2 Studio via ShutterStock March 27, 2012 1:28 PM Tom Cheredar 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Any doubts over whether streaming services are a big deal for the music industry can now be dispelled. Revenue generated by subscription services like Spotify, Rhapsody, Rdio, and others was up 13.5 percent (from $212.4 million to $241 million), according to the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA) year-end music shipment statistics for 2011. The stats also revealed that total paying customers also rose by 18 percent. Previously, there had been some indication from music artists that subscription services were doing more harm that good. By plugging into a music service, people weren't as likely to purchase songs, which of course translates to lower overall revenue. Back in November, more than 200 indie labels falling under distributor STHoldings pulled their songs from streaming music services for this reason. More recently, Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney criticized services like Spotify for being unfair to artists. His band also declined to make their latest album El Camino available on the music service. But these new stats from the RIAA prove that subscription services don't always bring down music sales. "Access models like subscription services and Internet radio (represented by digital performance royalties) have continued to grow both in popularity as well as in their revenue contribution to the industry," the RIAA said in a statement. "No longer just a niche, digital music has shown it can be a model — or perhaps more accurately a variety of models — for the music industry going forward." The RIAA's stats also reveal that digital performance royalties (money from online radio services like Pandora) increased by 17 percent from 2010 to 2011 ($249 million to $292 million in 2011). Digital download sales were also up year-over-year. Singles increased 13 percent, while digital albums increased 25.1 percent. Also worth noting is that more than 100 million digital albums were sold in 2011, which is a first for the industry. So clearly, subscription services aren't cannibalizing other sales. If anything, subscriptions are actually helping to boost sales overall. Via Cnet; Music photo via ra2 Studio/ShutterStock

Best Deal Movers recently did an excellent job moving our furniture and valuables from a three-story town home to a new house. The team of Andrey, Zach and Preston was experienced, professional and courteous. The job was particularly challenging as many large items had to be carefully maneuvered down narrow stairways, and through narrow doors. They earned the strongest possible recommendation.
Lawrence, Andrey and Rodney with Best Deal Movers were on time, careful with furniture and professional. Would recommend them to friends.

This was our first experience with movers and we were very pleased with our experience. Jamie, Willie, Lawrence and Trevor were FANTASTIC!! Not one single item was damaged or broken! Many other reviews stated they were intentionally being slow to run up the overall cost. Well, I can honestly say these guys were non-stop for 8 total hours. They told us when they were taking breaks, which was not necessary. Make sure you request these guys when moving with Best Deal!
Moving 1 bedroom plus den Atl apt to home In Fayetteville. Explained to company although it sounded small took a 26 ft truck to move us in. Moving day came and they sent a 14 ft truck!!! Needless to say it required 2 trips. Move started at 10AM and ended at 9PM. Cost was $1400. Est was $875. Brian and Marvin, the movers were great but will NEVER recommend this company. All they offered to do was stop charges during travel time!! Not satisfied at all!!! Look elsewhere! I was not going to respond but so many things you said were incorrect. We were done packing and the movers had the elevator key to give them sole access to the elevator. Distance from elevator to truck was approximately the same as a driveway. Told original contact we were not sure of box count but it did take a 26 ft truck to move us in. Based on that info, your company should have reacted accordingly and sent the same or equivalent size truck. Honestly that's my only complaint. Never expected the move to take so long. I did contact you guys originally based on all the great reviews and was just disappointed in the outcome.
We are always disappointed when we cannot make one of our customers happy if the move doesn�t go as smoothly as hoped. When people initially inquire to receive an estimate, our office staff takes extra time to complete a thorough inventory. On the day of the move when our crew arrived, the clients were still packing; the total boxes increased from the customer�s estimated 20 on the inventory sheet to 100. There were also 3 additional beds that had not been previously listed. Extra inventory that is not included in our estimate does effect the actual time of the move. While the customer had told us that the elevator was close to their apartment, there was no mention that depending on the available parking, the crew may have a long walk from the apartment to where the truck would be parked. Regrettably a longer walk does increase the actual time to complete the move. There was also one extenuating circumstance that could not be totally predicted. Moving the items from the fifth floor apartment took longer than estimated due to the speed of the elevator and the maintenance man�s use of the same appliance; our crew did not have exclusive use for the loading of the items and had to wait periodically to gain access to the elevator to continue. As the customer stated, we did have to make two trips but we did not charge her for the time required to travel from her new residence back to their apartment and then back to their new home; she paid for the actual time necessary to move her items as if it all had been all on one truck with one trip. We do appreciate her writing that Brian and Marvin, the 2-man crew, were great; our drivers and movers are employees who always strive to give excellent service!
Very professional and very good care with our belongings. Bryan and Nash were very hard working and quick
We had a very positive experience with Best Deal Movers. Willie, Raymond, Mark and James were friendly and efficient. Our move was done sooner than expected and under budget. Thanks, guys!
We used Best Deal Movers to move us from an apartment to our first house. Josh and Kevin were extremely friendly and professional. They took great care not to damage our stuff while also working quickly. This was best moving experience I've ever had.I would recommend them to anyone.
Everyone was very professional through out the whole process. Jeff and Nash were incredibly hard working and did not stop to take a break throughout the whole move. They didn't leave a mark on any of the walls even though some of the areas they had to traverse were tight. Mike Diaz was always pleasant on the phone and help[ed to calm my nerves on what could have been a stressful time. I would highly recommend these guys for any size move you have!!
Josh and Raymond are the best!!! They were fast, efficient, very careful... And played some great music along the way. I would use them again in the future and I'll be recommending them to anyone I know that plans to move. I've had bad moving experiences before but this move was super easy all because these guys rocked.
The team (Bryan, Nash, Trevor, Lawerence, and Zac) did an excellent job moving my dad today. For us it was a significant day to be moving him out of our family home of 30 years. These guys were not only friendly and fast, but they really paid attention to details and made us feel at ease that our stuff was being taken care of.
I recently moved with Best Deal Movers and they were wonderful. Arrived on time, moved carefully. Kevin and Lawrence are very professional movers and were so positive that it make moving less stressful. Mary Becker, owner, stopped by mid morning to check on everything. These people are amazing. Best move I have ever made!

This is our second experience with BDM's in two months,another great job!Well done Thanks to Josh/Raymond!
We have never had luck with moving companies until now. From the first phone call to the end of the move, this company exceeded my expectations. Dwayne was very informative and helpful when quoting. Lawrence, Andrey, Bryan and Mark were a fantastic team to work with. Very thorough, careful and efficient. If we are to ever move again we will use Best Deal Movers and we will request these 4 gentleman! Thanks for all you did for us today.

The next logical progression in his career arc is a Hamas/Israeli conflict film.
They're totally breaking the bro code by not sharing plot details.
If you want an indie, Shaun of the Dead-ie take on aliens… it's coming… soon.
They've decided to write a script. That's a good start!!
Thanks to a $300 worldwide box office, a sequel was as inevitable as Evelyn Salt stopping the nuclear missiles at the end.
Casting directors everywhere send out feelers for the "Japanese Andre the Giant."
Columbia Pictures has grabbed the US distribution rights for the film, to be written by 'The Hurt Locker' scribe Mark Boal. It's a regular Hurt Lockereunion.
The posters feature a scared as hell Jesse Eisenberg and Aziz Ansari, as well as the very first intelligent apes from 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'.
Sony is a very attractive distribution partner for MGM and clearly "wants it." The James Bond distribution rights, that is.
With talks of Ashton Kutcher and Justin Bieber headlining the same movie, it looks like the stars are aligning. Or are those asteroids headed to earth to destroy us?
If you're wondering what 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' would be like if the chipmunks were blue and were chased around by an ugly wizard and his cat, then stop using your imagination and watch this horrible trailer.
Oh, and they're both Sony films. But that's it, everybody.
Luckily, there's a deal in the works that will save these films from a fate worse than a Commie invasion: sitting on the shelf for even longer than they already have.
Now that we've all gotten used to the idea of Peter Parker being able to organically spin webbing from his wrists, those bastards at Sony are pulling the rug out from under us once again, bringing back Spider-Man's famous web-shooters.
Sony reportedly will not make a third Ghostbusters movie without Bill Murray, and the star, who has a reputation for being, ahem, very selective, has yet to sign on since being delivered the script recently.
Sony has dropped the teaser for Arthur Christmas, and it's going to have Santa believers buzzin' like they're fly like a bee.
Sony and Marc Webb have just reminded Sally Field that she's not a spring chicken anymore in the nicest way possible. The Oscar-winner is in talks to join the Spider-Man reboot that is ramping up for a December start.
If all goes as planned for the folks behind the upcoming Spider Man reboot, we'll soon see Martin Sheen shot to death at the hands of an anonymous burglar.
He comes in peace.
And here you thought Roland Emmerich couldn't settle for anything less than epic. The director, who in Independence Day and 2012 destroyed the land we love so much, is prepping The Zone, and alien invasion movie he'll make with a $5 million budget. No plot details are known but it will take the "found footage" approach and be improv-based with a cast of relative unknowns, much like Cloverfield and Paranormal Activity.
Shooting begins in mid-November off a script by French writer-director Guillaume Tunzini. Considering the budget for The Zone is what Emmerich usually spends on his craft services strudel supply, it'll be interesting to see what he cranks out. No demolishing famous landmarks this time around. The best he'll get is a modest ranch home with not too much surrounding land to scorch. (THR)
Sony wants little young white boys. The studio is currently casting for miniature versions of Spider-man and The Lizard for their Spider-man reboot, which recently added Rhys Ifans as adult Lizard. Moviehole has the specs:
Sony wants a dark-haired Caucasian boy to play actor Peter Parker at age 4 to 6 years old . Ideally, the boy should look a little like Andrew Garfield. In addition, the studio's on the hunt for an actor to play Billy Connors, the son of Dr. Curt Connor. Applicants need be between 8 and 11 years old.
Don't flip your sh*t, I'm sure the kiddies won't be a huge part of the storyline. They'll most likely be featured in minimal flashbacks. I seem to remember that comic issue when Peter egged Billy's house on Halloween and Curt took the belt to his son for fraternizing with lowlifes. Yeah, I definitely read that in a comic and didn't manifest it subconciously to block out a traumatic childhood event.
Marvel wasn't just going to let DC own the day by announcing Tom Hardy will be a villain in the next Batman. Nuh uh. They've just announced that recently cast Rhys Ifans will be playing Dr. Curt Connors a.k.a. The Lizard in Marc Webb's Spider-man reboot. Poor Dylan Baker. He had to keep his arm inside of his shirt for the previous Spider-man movies, pretending that he was an amputee, and he never even got the chance to turn into a reptile.
Spider-man hits theaters in 3D July 3, 2012. You'll probably hear more about this movie before then. (TheWrap)
He's honored to even be considered.
Sony has offered the villain role in the Spider-man reboot to Rhys Ifans. You may remember him as the slovenly roommate in Notting Hill, or a lot more things if you're British. No word yet on exactly which villain he'll be playing though. I'm getting a Green Goblin vibe from him, but I suppose he could also be Venom with the right black unitard. If Ifans does in fact play Green Goblin he already has experience creating his own aviation contraptions.
Spidey doesn't stand a chance. (Deadline)
Red-headed and adorable Emma Stone from Easy A and Zombieland has been officially cast in the Spider-man reboot, but not as the red-headed and adorable Mary Jane Watson. Stone will play Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker's blonde-haired first love interest. Say whaaaaaaat, director Marc Webb?
"The chemistry between Andrew (Garfield) and Emma was stunning and made Emma the clear choice. At the heart of the story of Peter Parker is not only the amazing Spider-Man, but also an ordinary teenager who is wondering what he has to do to get the girl. Andrew and Emma will bring everything audiences expect to these roles, but also make them their own. Much to my surprise, it was fun to find out that our choice for Gwen (Emma) is also a natural blonde."
How he found out her natural hair color is unknown, but apparently it was "fun." Pics or it didn't happen. (TheWrap)
A Spider-Man is born.Marc Webb and Sony have finally selected a young actor to play Peter Parker from their list of young actors not quite right for the role of Peter Parker. According to a source at Blue Sky Disney Blog, Josh Hutcherson has been offered the role in Sony's Spider-Man reboot and he has accepted. Casting has been in the works for some time and after extensive test shoots, Hutcherson has come out on top. Bear in mind that there hasn't been an official press release from the studio at this time. So if this turns out to be wrong, pick a fight with Disney's army of lawyers.Apologies to Jamie Bell, Andrew Garfield, Frank Dillane, Logan Lerman, Alden Ehrenreich, and Anton Yelchin. You guys played a good game out there, but you still lost. No victory Baskin Robbins visit for you.
Columbia Pictures has released the teaser trailer for David Fincher's The Social Network. The minimalist approach seems to love the smell of its own farts. Utilizing voiceover and bold text, Mark Zuckerberg is called a genius and a prophet. He almost made Jesus status, but he has yet to walk on water. …Loser. Regardless, the film is directed by David Fincher which means it's mandatory viewing for humans.The film stars Jesse Eisenberg as Zuckerberg, Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield, and Joe Mazello. It hits theaters October 1, 2010. Check out the TEASER after the jump…
This film demeans us all, Papa Smurf.Sony has released the first photo from its upcoming movie, The Smurfs, and all I can say is hold on to your white, slightly phallic-looking hats! The picture depicts Grouchy, Papa and Clumsy Smurf in…get this…NEW YORK CITY!Magically transporting a fictional character into the real world can only be described as wildly original. But to go the extra mile and place them in such an obscure location goes above and beyond. I didn't even know you could film movies in New York! Of all the places for the Smurfs to end up, NYC has to be the craziest! That town moves a mile a minute! Talk about a fish-out-of-water story!The trailer for the film comes out this Thursday, but I don't need to wait until then to declare this movie an instant classic.* The only thing that could make it any better would be if they got George Lopez to do a voice. That would be tits! (First Showing)*I'm trying really hard to be less of a sarcastic prick, but holy crap, Sony! What choice do I have? Did you learn nothing from Space Jam!
Jaden Smith is better than you at life.Sony has released the final trailer for The Karate Kid reboot starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith. The film, which premieres this weekend, looks pretty good, provided you can overlook two annoying flaws. I'm sure I'm not the first to point out that the film lacks any actual karate, which is from Japan, and instead focuses on kung-fu, which is from China. It's like remaking Eight Men Out, but having them play Cricket, or remaking Squirt Woman 2 and having it focus on "water sports." There's a big difference. The second barrier to enjoying the film is Jaden Smith. Based on the trailer, he seems like he might be a decent actor. But the fact that a 12-year-old kid will probably nail more women this weekend than I will in my entire life makes it hard for me to concentrate. Instead of focusing on the kung-fu, I just keep tracing the veins in my wrist with the corner of my debit card over and over again. Weird, huh? (First Showing) Enjoy the last Karate Kid trailer after the jump.

Karen Harrington: More than Just the Anti-DWS Candidate
By now we've all heard the popular #FireDebbie meme, and conservatives and Libertarians alike long for the day when Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) no longer sits before us as a spokesperson for the Obama administration…but what do you know about the woman who just might make that happen?
Karen Harrington, businesswoman with a 30-year record of private industry success, is overcoming the DNC machine with her own innovative messaging and is now within striking distance of the Democratic darling. She is getting tremendous support nationwide (including through social media), is raking in the campaign cash, and is very likely to unseat Wasserman Schultz in this year's election.
The most recent polling data, taken in early October, shows Harrington trailing by just 4.5% (MOE is 5%). This upward trend is happening throughout the GOP, with Connie Mack IV (also running to unseat Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson in FL), Romney-Ryan, and even Todd Akin (R-MO) beginning to see a shift in the tides. Harrington is faring well among Independents, as well (35%), which will work to her advantage since the combination of Republicans and Independents in the district outnumbers Democrats. The most promising piece of data to be extracted from this poll is that 16.1% of voters are still undecided.
Harrington's first foray into politics was to run against Wasserman Shultz in 2010, but she was defeated by a double digit margin. A few short months ago, with Wasserman Schultz owning a seemingly insurmountable lead, it appeared she might be headed for a similar upset this year. But after a tremendous amount of hard work – and some major public missteps by her opponent – the campaign has begun to see the fruits of its labor.
Much like Mitt Romney, Karen, who identifies as a "conservative by nature," cites her business acumen as her primary qualification for Congress. She believes that her years in the private sector have made her "fiscally responsible," one who understands that "you have to rely on yourself to be successful." Her ideology is as far removed from the "You didn't build that" mantra as one could imagine.
She says there are three primary issues on which she clearly delineates herself from her opponent:
"1) [Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz] definitely supports bigger government. She supported the failed stimulus plan and has stood by that position. She has tried to convince us that it has saved us from falling off that cliff, which we're all barely hanging on to.
2) [Wasserman Schultz] believes government-run healthcare will help all Americans have good healthcare. I'm opposed to that for all kinds of reasons: it takes away our choice, our access to good healthcare, and it is not affordable. As a business owner, it adds an enormous tax burden onto all of us. Ultimately, I believe [the Democrats'] goal is to destroy private insurance as a whole and force everyone into a single-payer system.
3) [Wasserman Schultz] believes we should punish success and raise taxes on higher income levels; I want to keep taxes at a flat level for all Americans and get this economy going. She believes jobs will be created through more government interference, and I believe it's in the hands of the private sector."
Beyond these issues, Harrington supports the standard GOP platform. She also supports school choice (a state-run vouchers program) in Florida, arguing that "if the public school system continues to fail our children, parents have a right to make another choice." She advocates for a major overhaul of the 60,000-page tax code. Though she seems to favor the Flat Tax conceptually, she believes that real reform is a must for our economy, so she doesn't rule out other options, even the FairTax. She explains, "Here we are in October and we still don't know what our taxes will look like in January, and they expect us to grow our economy, to invest, to expand? There's so much uncertainty. Nothing should be off the table."
On the significance of being the "anti-candidate," Karen acknowledges a great deal of the support she's experienced comes from citizens who have been willing to speak with her primarily because of whom she's running against.
"It was absolutely pivotal when we started over seventeen months ago," she explained, "to build this campaign and make it a national race. Twitter and Facebook were tremendously important in engaging voters, even outside of the district." While this certainly might have been what caught the attention of Americans to begin with, Candidate Karen Harrington has come into her own. She is a confident, personable, nonsensical woman who articulates her vision for America clearly.
She has been endorsed many sitting Congressmen and women, including former Presidential candidate, Michele Bachmann, and by several key players late in the game, including former Governor Jeb Bush and popular Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
She doubled Wasserman Schultz's fundraising in the last FEC reporting period ($712K to $369K) and is hoping this trend will continue in the final weeks; the goal is to pull in those last undecided voters, as well as motivate existing Republican supporters to come out and help her unseat Wasserman Schultz.
Harrington summarized her thoughts on why she's running for office this way: "I'm just very excited for my country. I think it's been a long four years for all of us as Americans, so much uncertainty, and it would be an honor to serve the will of the people of my district."
There are many ways supporters can help make this happen: Follow her on Twitter @Karen4Congress or using the hashtag #FireDebbie; check out the Obama-Wasserman Schultz debt clock at firedebbie.com; and Like her Facebook page. Learn more about her at karenforcongress.com, and of course, political messaging costs money, so she invites donations of any size to help her bring home the win in South Florida's 23rd Congressional disctrict.
Krauthammer Again: 'Obama's Speech Was Flat With No Real Content'
For the third time this week, National Syndicated Columnist and Fox News contributor, had more than harsh words about President Barack Obama's DNC acceptance speech given Thursday evening. He called it. "one of the emptiest speeches" ever given by a presidential nominee for a major party.
"I was stunned," he said. "This is a man who gave one of the greatest speeches of our time in 2004, and he gave one of the emptiest speeches I have ever heard on a national stage."
Krauthammer continued to say that, as in normal Obama fashion, the speech itself was good, but there was no substance to it, concerning the actual content of the speech, which was given to thousands of delegates, politicians, and reporters at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, N.C. We must note, that the skies were clear at the time of the Obama's acceptance speech.
"Yes, it had cadence. And yes there were deceptions in it. That's not what's striking about it," he said. "There was nothing in it."
He continued: "This is a man who believes that government can and should do a lot. There's nothing in here that tells us how he is going to go from today to tomorrow. And what government is going to do, what's he going to enact? At least Romney had a five-point plan."
Krauthammer continued to drill Obama about how the president continues to present his personal agenda to the American people, but never has offered any real plan on how to get there.
"I have a vision of America where there is no disease and everyone has a private airplane, but unless I tell you how to get there, I've said nothing," he added. "I am simply amazed — this is a guy who is the A student in the class who turns in a paper that is clearly a C."
Also, Vice President Joe Biden delivered his speech and Krauthammer commented that Biden's speech was "infinitely better" than the president's. "The Obama speech I thought was flat and had no content in it. Otherwise, I loved it really."

2012 DNC Platform and Israel
From Daniel Harper at The Weekly Standard:
An Obama campaign official confirmed to THE WEEKLY STANDARD that President Obama "personally" intervened to alter the Democratic platform to include a reference to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The new platform, adopted this evening at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, now includes pro-Israel language that the previous document did not.
The president did want to make clear what his personal beliefs were because they were not in the original platform," the campaign official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The new language reads, "Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel. The parties have agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths."
However, while the new Democratic platform apparently now reflects the "personal beliefs" of President Obama, it is now at odds with Obama administration policy.
In July, when White House spokesman Jay Carney was asked to name the capital of Israel, he refused to do so. Acknowledging that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, the Obama administration insists, would pre-judge one of the "final status issues" in the peace process.
The campaign official acknowledged this discrepancy. "The president has a personal view, but the president and the administration's view as a matter of policy is ultimately that Jerusalem is a final status issue," said the official.
She elaborated, "It doesn't make sense for a U.S. a president impose his personal beliefs in a policy context. … But it's important for him to make clear where he stands on these issues."
So while Obama personally believes Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, his administration will not say so.
The official insisted, however, that it is commonplace for presidents to hold conflicting personal and policy views on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, citing Presidents George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan as examples.
But let us not forget what President Obama said last year concerning the borders of Israel.
"The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states," Obama said. "The Palestinian people must have the right to govern themselves, and reach their potential, in a sovereign and contiguous state."
DNC Benediction Has No Mention of Israel
Last night, amid the controversy over the official DNC platform, Rabbi David Wolpe offered the closing benediction, but excluded Jerusalem and all of Israel itself.
Here is Wolpe's prayer:
Dear God, we are grateful that our nation is founded on the highest principles of freedom and resourcefulness and creativity and ever-renewed strength. And we understand that those worthy ideals stand alongside the commitment to compassion, to goodness, our sacred covenant to care for those who are bereaved and bereft, who are frightened, who are hungry, who are bewildered and lost, who seek shelter from the cold.
As your prophet taught us: "shiftu yatom, rivu almanah." Defend the orphan and fight on behalf of the widow. We know that our lamp is lifted not only to illuminate our way but to serve as a beacon to others that here, this land, is a place where the dreams of a weary world flourish and endure.
Ours is a holy charge. A single moment, a touch, a glance, a word, can change a life. Our children look to us with aspirational eyes, with the hope that their world will be kinder, sweeter, smarter, than the one we have known.
Each of these changes touches us all, for you have taught us that we must count on each other, that our country is strong through community and that the children of Israel, on the way to that sanctified and cherished land, did not walk through the wilderness alone.
'Rachmana,' merciful God. May we be guided by your wisdom, and so become more understanding of the convictions of others. May our souls be enlarged by empathy and uplifted by leaders and thinkers and teachers who believe in strength of soul and wild, wonderful visions. So together, with right and left worshiping the same God, our nation – this strong, blessed nation, filled with spirit and called to noble cause – will become more passionate, more purposeful, more burnished and bright through the warmth of your embrace and the extraordinary power, dear God, of your love. Amen.
As mentioned, any reference at all to the State of Israel or Jerusalem is missing. There really wasn't even a reference to Jews, except for a tiny reference to the "children of Israel", which Wolpe used as a metaphor.
Is this any real surprise though? Considering that the original 2012 DNC platform didn't mention anything about the state of Israel or about where the actual capital was, our embassy is still in Tel-aviv, and Jay Carney dances around questions about Israel, I am not surprised at all. This is just the continuation of Obama and his administrations war on Israel.
Elizabeth Warren Is 'A Disgrace'
A descendant of the Native American icon Geronimo was present at the Democratic National Convention when Elizabeth Warren delivered her speech, and he spoke with Ben Shapiro from Breitbart.com about Warren's, the Massachusetts Senate Candidate running against incumbent Scott Brown, about her questionable ancestry.
Charles Krauthammer Is At It Again: Shows Displeasure with Clinton Speech
Nationally Syndicated Columnist and Fox News Contributor Charles Krauthammer is again, not impressed with a DNC Speech. After showing his displeasure towards the speech that Michelle Obama gave Tuesday night, Krauthammer said former President Bill Clinton's speech was "sprawling, undisciplined, and truly self-indulgent", and that the speech, "would not help President Obama's re-election chances."
"I think it was a giant swing and a miss," Krauthammer said to Bret Baier yesterday evening. "I don't think it will move the needle whatsoever."
"It was engaging, it was humorous, in some cases it was generous – I think there were more mentions of the Bush's than I heard in three days in Tampa," Krauthammer added. "It was also vintage Clinton in that it was sprawling, undisciplined, and truly self-indulgent."
Later in the interview, Krauthammer added that Clinton's DNC speech was "one of the strangest nomination speeches ever given."
"It was kind of amalgam between the state of the union address, a policy wonk seminar and what sounded to me like a campaign speech for a third Clinton term – Obama was sort of incidental, he would be shoved in every once in a while," Krauthammer said.
It is true that he made a lot of detailed rebuttals, that he is sort of the rebuttler-in-chief, but Paul Ryan can handle all of that in 10 minutes in his debate," Krauthammer concluded.

Paul Ryan's Thoughts On DNC Day 1
Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Rep. Paul Ryan's thoughts on the first day of the Democratic National Convention:
Charles Krauthammer "Didn't Buy a Line" of Michelle Obama's 2012 DNC Speech
Following first-lady Michelle Obama's speech last night, nationally syndicated Conservative Columnist Charles Krauthammer, he displayed his displeasure with the speech, saying he "didn't buy a line of it."
Obama's speech began with the account of her and Barack's early life as a couple, and how they became the couple they are today. In the speech, Michelle recalled when her husband picked her up for their first date in a rusted out car, and how together they owed more in student loans than they did on their mortgage.
"I know from experience that if I truly want to leave a better world for my daughters, and all of our sons and daughters, and if we want to give all our children a foundation for their dreams and opportunities worthy of their promise…if we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility – that belief that here in America, there is always something better out there if you're willing to work for it…then we must work like never before," she said with a very excited crowd.
View Krauthammer's analysis of the speech here:
Krauthammer commented:
"She told the story of a Gandhi, and you know…looking at how he's conducted himself in the present scene, particularly in the campaign, with ruthlessness, and determination and drive, it's not quite a plausible story. I'm sure in the arena it was a plausible story, I saw the tears, but I'm afraid I didn't … I'm sure it was a great speech but I didn't buy a line of it."
However just because he didn't think it was a genuine speech, that doesn't mean that it wasn't an effective one:
"Nonetheless I would say within that, and despite the repetition that have, Michelle Obama's speech I thought was a brilliant speech, and brilliantly delivered… All of the other speakers would talk about what Obama does — the achievement and legislation and whatever, and the political implications. Her whole task was to say why, her answer was, 'Why? Because essentially he's a saint. Because of his upbringing and because of his emotions and because of his humanity he does this because he cares and the brilliance of it is this.' It drained Obama of any ideological motivation or any having to do with self-interest or ambition, which I think is sort of more plausible explanation."
30% Chance Of Rain Brings President's Speech Indoors
Politico reports this morning:
"Democratic officials confirm to POLITICO that President Obama's prime time address will be moved indoors to the Time Warner Center. The Thursday address was scheduled to be at Bank of America stadium — an outdoor venue with more than 70,000 seats. But forecasts are predicting thunderstorms, forcing a last minute change in venue."
However, per the National Weather Service, Charlotte only has a 30% chance of thunderstorms tomorrow evening. This is weird considering the outdoor speech would be made "rain or shine", but a 30% chance of scattered thunderstorms is enough to bring the event indoors.

2012 Democratic Platform on Jerusalem, Israel
The 2008 Democratic Party Platform said this about Jerusalem, Israel:
Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel. The parties have agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.
However, the 2012 Democratic Party Platform has said nothing about Jerusalem, Israel, and the language about Israel is different:
President Obama and the Democratic Party maintain an unshakable commitment to Israel's security. A strong and secure Israel is vital to the United States not simply because we share strategic interests, but also because we share common values. For this reason, despite budgetary constraints, the President has worked with Congress to increase security assistance to Israel every single year since taking office, providing nearly $10 billion in the past three years. The administration has also worked to ensure Israel's qualitative military edge in the region. And we have deepened defense cooperation – including funding the Iron Dome system – to help Israel address its most pressing threats, including the growing danger posed by rockets and missiles emanating from the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. The President's consistent support for Israel's right to defend itself and his steadfast opposition to any attempt to delegitimize Israel on the world stage are further evidence of our enduring commitment to Israel's security.
It is precisely because of this commitment that President Obama and the Democratic Party seek peace between Israelis and Palestinians. A just and lasting Israeli-Palestinian accord, producing two states for two peoples, would contribute to regional stability and help sustain Israel's identity as a Jewish and democratic state. At the same time, the President has made clear that there will be no lasting peace unless Israel's security concerns are met. President Obama will continue to press Arab states to reach out to Israel. We will continue to support Israel's peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, which have been pillars of peace and stability in the region for many years. And even as the President and the Democratic Party continue to encourage all parties to be resolute in the pursuit of peace, we will insist that any Palestinian partner must recognize Israel's right to exist, reject violence, and adhere to existing agreements.
But as this website notes, the language in the 2012 platform is much different and weaker than that of the 2008 platform.
The United States and its Quartet partners should continue to isolate Hamas until it renounces terrorism, recognizes Israel's right to exist, and abides by past agreements. Sustained American leadership for peace and security will require patient efforts and the personal commitment of the President of the United States. The creation of a Palestinian state through final status negotiations, together with an international compensation mechanism, should resolve the issue of Palestinian refugees by allowing them to settle there, rather than in Israel. All understand that it is unrealistic to expect the outcome of final status negotiations to be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949. Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel.The parties have agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.
