I'm not one for comic books. Or illustrated novels. I suppose that once I moved on from the Archie comics of my youth, I never really saw the appeal.
But TALK! Is different.
For starters, it's the creation of a former school-mate, Stephen Burger. When you think back to people you knew in (relative) childhood, you realize that they had talents and passions far beyond whatever shone through during classes. I'd seen some of Stephen's gothic-tinged work before, so was intrigued to hear that he was also creating a comic book.
TALK! Is all about conversations between two people. It's a great example of how a simple concept can be elevated to entertainment. Since a few of the models for the characters are people I know (including my brother!) I can attest to Stephen's skill at capturing personality and facial expressions via pen and ink…it's a little creepy, actually.
A crowd-funded project via IndieGoGo, I was happy to support the efforts of an independent author and artist, and receiving my copy in the mail (along with an original pen and ink sketch!) resulted in me quite happily camping out on the sofa to read the comic cover to cover.
If you're interested in getting a copy, you can check out Stephen's Facebook page –

Apple Walnut Pancakes Recipe
The whole wheat flavor really comes through in these hearty pancakes. They taste great with a light touch of maple syrup. —Kerry Blondheim, Denmark, Wisconsin
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 egg whites
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 cups fat-free milk
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 medium apple, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- Maple syrup
- 1. In a large bowl, whisk flours, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk egg whites, egg, milk and oil until blended. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Fold in apple and walnuts.
Heat a griddle coated with cooking spray on medium heat. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle. Cook until bubbles on top begin to pop and bottoms are golden brown. Turn; cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with syrup.
Freeze option: Freeze cooled pancakes between layers of waxed paper in a resealable plastic freezer bag. To use, place pancakes on an ungreased baking sheet, cover with foil and reheat in a preheated 375° oven 6-10 minutes. Or, place a stack of three pancakes on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 18 pancakes.

Around here, it feels as if it's our patriotic duty to be "done" with the garden by the Fourth of July. All new plants should be in the ground or displayed in festive containers on the front porch. Every last weed should be evicted and piles whisked to the compost. The garden should be trim and tidy, well watered, in the best of health, and in full, blazing, glorious bloom. Even though my garden is far enough from the parade route to permit a little messiness, I'm all for an early July, or even late June, planting deadline. It's a good idea to get plants in before the weather gets too sticky to think clearly about proper placement, and too stupidly hot for them to thrive without inordinate amounts of TLC.
I'm nearly there. Almost done. Last weekend I pulled just enough weeds, and edited enough overgrowth to make room for all of the plants left in "the waiting room." That's what I call the back porch stoop, where I drop off my loot after trips to nurseries and friends' gardens. It's relatively shady there, out of the wind, and close to the hose. Truth be told, whenever there are plants in the waiting room, I leave the hose uncoiled within arm's reach and turned off at the nozzle rather than spigot. I'd hate for anything to die of thirst so close to its release from captivity.
I always intend to get everything in the ground—or potted into porch containers—right away, and I managed to do just that with most of the perennials and shrubs I brought home to fill particular vacancies. But impulse purchases and plants I couldn't refuse when offered—plants that required further thought—began to pile up as they always do, in the waiting room. Let that be a lesson to me to stick to the list. (As if. A "plantiful" garden is my raison d'être.)
Every frost-tender perennial and dahlia tuber I wintered over and purchased new also landed in the waiting room. I had to find slots in the garden for plants like Fuchsia 'Gartenmeister Bonstedt', Salvia 'Wendy's Wish', and Cuphea 'David Verity' because they're essential hummingbird magnets. African blue basil went in for the bees and the long light of fall, and spur flower (Plectranthus ciliatus) for flowers that arrive just as summer's party winds down.
And wouldn't you know, the minute the waiting room cleared out, I filled it again with four-packs of seed annuals like Nicotiana 'Tinkerbell', and a few more late-blooming tender perennials. The tiny starts will be so easy to fit in here and there I'll wish I had bought more. But now that it's officially summer, according to both the calendar and the high, blazing sun, I definitely shouldn't make them wait another second to get in the ground.
A layer of mulch on any remaining bare earth (hold on—I must not be done planting yet!) provides the "finishing touch." Shredded leaves would be my first choice if I had a stash. Instead I think I'll finally splurge on a couple of bags of oh-so-elegant buckwheat hull mulch. Both choices help hold moisture in the soil (the best reason for topdressing now); they add organic matter to the soil as they break down, and are light enough to allow self-sowers to do their thing.
As ready as I am now to kick back in the shade and relax, I can't imagine feeling "done" after planting, after mulching, or in time for the parade. There's still so much to enjoy doing in any garden that grows and changes by the day. Some plants will want staking, others deadheading, others editing. I might even feel compelled to plant a few more things and can only hope that one day I'll be caught up with the weeding. When pigs fly. The Fourth of July will come and go like it does every year, the summer season will stretch into fall and my garden won't ever be done. Yours doesn't have to be either.

34 35th St., Unit 26, Brooklyn, NY, 11232
Bleeding Through: Layers of Los Angeles, 1920 - 1986 is an interactive DVD-ROM exploring the ideas of renowned cultural historian Norman M. Klein. A loosely constructed documentary underlying a flexible literary journey, it is an urban bricolage held together by the outline of a novel spanning sixty-six years: At the center is Molly - based on a real-life person - who may be hiding a murder. She lives within a three square-mile area near downtown Los Angeles, a death zone where more cinematic murders have been committed than anywhere else in the world. This neighborhood, one of the most complex ethnographic districts in the United States, is represented in Hollywood movies, urban legends and real estate boosterism in ways that erase the lived ethnographic reality. Out of this rich blend of narratives, users must decide what to include and what to leave out so that their own version of the story will become legible.

Lang Realty needed an upscale website to showcase their 300+ professional real estate experts who cater to clients in country club communities and residential neighborhoods throughout Palm Beach County. This custom site makes an impact with a big, bold header image. While large headers can sometimes make for a cluttered site, Lang Realty makes good use of its real estate (pun intended) by including the quick search and the social media icons within the header image.

Old-vine complexity is more apparent in this wine than in the Tres Viejos, above - perhaps because this wine is fresher. There's a firm, dynamic acidity that drives it, lifting the juicy fruit away from the deeper mineral tannins and then bringing them back together through a long finish: Both fresh fruit and tannins last on equal terms. Air brings up the details of plum skin, pear and jasmine, the wine exuberant as it rolls over and begs for some grilled meat.
*Editors' Choice* A huge, kick butt Zinfandel, packed with sweet berry, bacon, black pepper and smoky cedar flavors. There's absolutely nothing shy about it. Packs a real punch all the way through to the spicy finish. Good price for a Sonoma Zin this classic.
This briary Zin offers dried cherry and underbrush aromas, joined by zesty flavors of raspberry and licorice. Drink now through 2015.

On Thursday, 10 November 2011, the fourth annual Bookmarks Awards, the digital industries awards evening and back-slap, was a vast improvement over last year's chaotic event (read Award-show behaving badly), when several hundred hangers-on crashed the awards evening and the MC Don Packett lost control and his cool.

The annual Bookmark Awards, which awards digital marketing and publishing excellence, seems to have started finding its feet on the local awards circuit. It has grown from 120 entries at its launch in 2008 to 229 in 2009 and finally reached the 400 mark in 2010. It has also become known for its uncompromising stand against giving out awards just for the sake of it.

By Terry Levin 19 Oct 2009
It seems the digital medium is still not being taken seriously by the creative industry, as evidenced by last year's Bookmark Awards. Matthew Bull, chairman of the Lowe Bull Group and worldwide creative director of Lowe Worldwide, as well as creative counsel for the Online Publishers' Association (OPA), told Bizcommunity.com, however, that digital will be everything in 10 - 20 years' time and the South African industry needs to understand and prepare for this.

Kinda flemsy but good big entrance
posted 6 years ago
Looked OK and would hold up well if put in the right place and door facing where water and wind would not get to it too bad. Needed a house with a big easy entrance for a dog scared of going into tight closed spaces. Good price at Walmart.
Pros: Waterproof if door facing right way
Cons: kinda flemsy

They have these at the shelter, in the outdoor runs. If any of my dogs would go inside one, I'd get one for them. The dogs at the shelter seem to like them. They do look roomy and comfortable.

McLEAN, Va. (AP) -- John McCain and Sarah Palin are moving their campaign rally Wednesday from a northern Virginia high school to a nearby park.
The rally was to be held at a Fairfax, Virgina, high school during morning classroom hours.
School system policy specifically bans political events during the school day. But the school's superintendent made an exception, saying the rally offered the students "new educational opportunities."
Senior government students would have been allowed to attend the rally. And the school would have received more than $10,000 for renting out the venue to the McCain campign.
Fairfax's mayor said the event should be allowed because McCain's opponent already set the precedent. Barack Obama held a campaign event at a high school last year, but school was not in session.
McCain's campaign had also complained that the school's gym was too small.

Bienvenidos Group
The businesses that the members of the communal bank carry on are varied, and include: weaving vicuña shawls, knitting sweaters, selling meat, selling vegetables, selling sweaters, and selling baby clothing.
The loan they will take will benefit small business owners such as Nelly. She says this is her first loan cycle as a member of Pro Mujer. She joined at the invitation of a field advisor of the institution, who came to visit her at her home. Currently she has a business selling vegetables. She says that this business was her mother's 64 years ago, and she continues to run it as a livelihood.
The loan she will now take out is for increasing her working capital through buying vegetables, which she will acquire from the wholesale merchants and later sell at her stall. This form of work allows her to generate financial resources for her family, as she is single and has a son.
When asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, she answers that she likes the health education.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Nelly es integrante, ella indica que es el primer ciclo que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por invitación de una asesora de la institución que le fue a visitar a su casa. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de venta de verduras, cuenta que este negocio fue de su madre hace sesenta y cuatro años atrás y ella lo sigue manejando como fuente de economía.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de verduras) que adquirirá de las negociantes al por mayor y posteriormente lo comercializará en su espacio de venta. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos económicos para su familia, ya que ella es soltera y tiene un hijo.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta las capacitaciones del área de salud.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Jammer's Review
Star Trek: The Original Series
"I, Mudd"
Air date: 11/3/1967
Written by Stephen Kandel
Directed by Marc Daniels
Review by Jamahl Epsicokhan
An android commandeers the Enterprise, taking it to a planet inhabited by androids—which is also where the devious Harry Mudd (Roger C. Carmel) now resides. Prohibited from leaving the planet by the androids unless he finds them new subjects to observe, Mudd intends Kirk and his crew to replace him. Unfortunately for Mudd, the androids decide to still prohibit him from leaving, finally forcing Kirk and Mudd to team up in an attempt to escape.
"I, Mudd" is a lighthearted comic romp featuring the lively scoundrel in a far more entertaining episode than "Mudd's Women" from season one. Mudd and Kirk's verbal jousts are right on target; Mudd's handy-to-muzzle "wife android" is a funny gag; and an ending where Kirk & Co. engage in ultra-bizarro behavior to overload the androids with illogical slapstick and circular reasoning is amusing through its desire to go for broke. Goofy, yes; believable, not really—but I laughed, and that's the only test probably required in this case.
Previous episode: Catspaw
Next episode: Metamorphosis
11 comments on this review
I kindly give this zero stars.
I enjoyed the lightheartedness with which the crew launched their assault of irrationality on the androids, and I think there was some amount of meta-joke in there somewhere -- the way they point their fingers and make phaser whirring sounds, for instance, is only marginally more difficult to accept as "real" than the plastic guns with low-quality special effects they normally do. But anyway, creativity, humour and play are useful weapons against the threat of technological servitude, right?
The episode is inessential; we've already had a look at what 24th century pimp/bastard Mudd is like ("I, Mudd"), episodes about massive computer control ("Return of the Archons"), Kirk Outsmarts The Computer With Logical Paradoxes ("The Changeling"), the crew is stranded on an apparent paradise and has to give it up for freedom! (lots...I guess "This Side of Paradise" most notably) and so on. But I find it fun -- a low 3 stars seems fair to me.
Just to see the crew burst into a Cossacks dance ritual for a few seconds was worth one star. I low 3 stars from me too.
This is rock bottom, one of the very worst moments in Star Trek history, and that's saying something.
this eposide was at least somewhat plausible, unlike most TOS episodes, st least the writers came up with a decent story that was possible-ish.
What looses it points is :
VERY much sexism, one thing I generally hate about TOS
Kirk outsmarts the computer [TM] AGAIN!! please that gets old to fast!
and again they destroy one species.. and a perfect opportunity to actually learn something (more advanced = new gadgeds + prime directive)
Sexsistic, yes ! But it is funny and partly reflect the time in which is was created.
What really puzzled me was how they came back on the ship again. As I understand someone must man the Transporter and all staff was transferred to the planet.

Scan to Computer is currently unavailabl
e Message
We have a network connected Officejet Pro 8600 printer with generally 2 computers on the network. One is a desktop (Dell) and the other is a laptop (HP Pavilion). The PCs and printer are connected by wire. On the laptop, I will get a system tray icon - a picture of a scanner with a red X on it - that says, "Scan to computer is currently unavailable" when I hover over the icon. The desktop rarely (but sometimes) gets this icon. It seems to come and go throughout the day. I have not seen a pattern to determine when it it there and when it is gone. I can see it when my laptop is not being used and when it is being actively used. More of the time it is not there but when it is there it is an irritate to see. I don't want to have a red X on my screen. What causes this and how can I stop it from appearing?
Re: Scan to Computer is currently unavailabl
e Message
I'm sorry you're having a problem with the software.
"Scan to computer" is an application that runs on your computer and maintains a network connection with your printer so that you can push the "Scan" button on the printer to scan to the computer. If that network connection is ever interrupted, then the icon will appear in the system tray saying that scan to computer is unavailable. Without some more information about your network setup, it's hard to say what may be interrupting the connection. If you'd like to troubleshoot network issues, do you have any firewall programs installed on the PCs? Firewalls may block the connection to the printer from the software. Are you using any VPN connections on the PC (or PCs)? Connecting to a VPN may block the connection to the printer as well.
If you only want to make the message stop appearing, you can disable scan to computer by clicking on the icon in the system tray when you see it and clicking the button to "Disable" and uncheck the box to "Automatically start Scan to Computer when I log onto Windows." This will make the message disappear, because scan to computer will no longer be attempting to maintain the network connection, however, to perform a scan, you will need to open the scan software on the PC instead of pushing the scan button on the printer.
Although I am an HP employee, my opinions are my own.
Re: Scan to Computer is currently unavailabl
e Message
AriM - thank you for your reply. For some additional information, both the desktop and laptop are using WinXP (SP3) and use the Windows Firewall. We are not using VPN. Why would the laptop often loose the "Scan to Computer" connection while the desktop does not?
BTW, the laptop is has no problem printing - that connection is always there. I don't want to turn off the "Scan to Computer" function on my laptop since that is a lose of functionality that I want when I bought the printer in November. It is nice to do a scan from the printer and send it to either PC, especially since the laptop is in a different room.

To troubleshoot the network issues, I recommend as a first step trying the network diagnostic utility that will check common networking issues that might be preventing Scan to Computer from communicating with the printer. See this link:
If that doesn't find any issues, if you open the printer toolbox when scan to computer says it is inactive, is the toolbox able to communicate with the printer? You can open toolbox by double clicking the Officejet 8600 icon on the desktop and clicking on "Estimated Ink Levels." Can the software show the ink levels or is a communication error shown?
Re: Scan to Computer is currently unavailabl
e Message
AriM - thanks again for your help. I ran the Network Diagnostic Utility and, as expected, there were no problems. I wouldn't have expected any since all other network related activity is OK.
The next time I see the "Scan to Computer is currently unavailable" message again, I will open the printer toolbox to see if the laptop is able to communicate with the printer. I am going to be away for awhile so it may be some time before I can report on this.
Re: Scan to Computer is currently unavailabl
e Message
I'm getting the same message. I've run the Network Diagnotic tool and also the HP scan diagnostic utility. Both showed no errors, and the scan test ran fine.
Re: Scan to Computer is currently unavailabl
e Message
There is clearly a problem since this is not a unique situation to me. Since my original post about 6 weeks ago, I have to say I rarely see this message on the laptop anymore - and I have done nothing different to the computer. When I do see it, it is only present for a short time and goes away on its own.
Re: Scan to Computer is currently unavailabl
e Message
Afterwards, plug it directly into a wall socket and then use it as you normally would. If this doesn't fix the issue for you then it may need a firmware update, although this is unlikely due to the issue occuring also with the USB connected computer.
Re: Scan to Computer is currently unavailabl
e Message
I am having the exact same problem with my new Officejet Pro 8600. It works fine on my notebook (Vista) but is behaving exactly the same as the one metioned in this thread. I have followed along and tried the various suggestions offered to troupbleshoot this, but have had the same results.
I have called into HP Tech supprot and they can not help me. All they are able do do is to instruct me to add and remove the HP software. So far they have had me do this about 8 times. Still no difference in the results I get. They say that this is as far as they can go for printer support, that I now need to trobuleshoot this as a Windows XP PC problem with Microsoft or my PC manufacturer. My PC is an HP desktop (Win XP SP3) that is has been out of warranty for years. So no one at HP tech support will work with me on this unless I agree to pay them to do so.
I would be very pleased with HP if through this thread, they could get this printer working. Based on the comments I have read from other users, this is not an isolated case and not specific to my PC.

Favorite thing: Pinhão is situated in the Vila Real District and in the Douro region – north of Portugal. Pinhão is situated about 30km of Vila Real and about 115km from Porto, Portugal's second city, also called "capital of the north". It is about 380km from Lisbon.
The village
Favorite thing: Pinhão is a lovely village situated on a valley and surrounded by mountains covered in vineyards on the step slopes. The village is bathed by River Pinhão (actually it is named after the River) where it meets River Douro.
Major highlights of this village are the train station which is classified as Portugal's most beautiful train station and also the metallic bridge built in the 19th century.
I loved our visit to Pinhão, although weather wasn't on our side. Its people are friendly, the wine very good (Porto sweet wine) and the landscape is breathtaking, both the green mountains and the quiet River.
Douro River Drive is HERE
Favorite thing: This map shows the location of our little drive along the Douro River, as we travelled eastward toward Pinhao for a short distance, just north of Lamego where we had spent two nights. After doubling back from the end of our Douro drive, we headed south through Lamego, bypassing Viseau and finally ending up on the coast just south of Aveiro at the small beach town of 'Praia de Mira' (see it's Page for details of that stay!)

Wine Critics' Top destination
Favorite thing: Due to its famous Port Wine and also to an unique landscape of its vineyards, etc, Pinhão, located in the heart of the Douro Valley, is one of the Top destinations for Wine Critics & International Journalists in general.
Pictured on this Tip we have:
» Nicos Neocleous London, UK.
» David Glancy, California, USA.
» Timothy Teichgraeber, California, USA.
» Rebecca Chapa California, USA.
» José Eduardo of Quinta do Noval, Portugal.

Quinta do Castro's Infinity Pool
Favorite thing: Quinta do Castro's Infinity Pool.
Departing from Pinhão one should ride towards west on the north side of the Douro river. Quinta do Crasto's winery & vineyards are then located about 20-30 minutes away from Pinhão.
Quinta do Castro is well known for its fine Douro wines but what I would like to present here is its Infinity Pool, which really amazes me with its views over the vineyards and the Douro river below (5 pictures).
I've been myself at Quinta do Crasto quite a few times already but unfortunately on the day I took those shots it was a cloudy day. As a result these 5 pictures (on this Tip) do not make 100% justice to the full beauty of Castro's pool.
wikipedia: An infinity pool is a swimming pool which produces a visual effect of the water extending to the horizon or to "infinity". In reality the edge of the pool is below the water level, the water spilling into a trough from where it is pumped back into the pool. The effect is particularly impressive where the invisible edge appears to merge with a larger body of water such as the ocean, or with the sky (if the pool is located on the side of a hill or mountain).

The views over the Douro going up (east) river
Favorite thing: The views over the Douro going up (east) river.
Once in Pinhão a nice travel plan would be to take the Train and ride east.
The Train railway goes east sided by the river. Visitors would then get to see these nice views over the Douro River. (5 pictures on this Tip).

Quinta do Silval: A Diamond in the Douro's Rough
Favorite thing: Quinta do Silval
~ A Diamond in the Douro's Rough ~
[...] The main reason for my trip to the Douro was to visit a Single Quinta … Quinta do Silval, which I had heard about from my buddy Mario Ferreira, but had never visited. Quinta do Silval seemed to have everything required for a wonderful stay: warm and charismatic hosts, both Douro and Port wines, not to mention a modern wine production facility. Additionally there was a full-service on-premise bed & breakfast lodge situated on a stunning piece of land with an outdoor pool boasting a phenomenal 360-degree panoramic view, an open air or glass enclosed al fresco Grill House complete with a full kitchen and a very professional and courteous staff.
When arriving at Quinta do Silval, which is conveniently located in the Pinhão Valley in rural Vale de Mendiz, one can not avoid noticing the breathtaking scenery that surrounds you as you enter the property on the sloping driveway down to the Quinta which sits at an elevation of approximately 300 meters. I was greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Carlos and Beatriz Magalhães, who moved to Silval from Oporto in 1984. The building which today includes the hotel, originally housed the "adega" (winery) with small living quarters upstairs. Unfortunately the Quinta was in such disrepair that it had to be leveled and was rebuilt from the new foundation, on up. The Bed & Breakfast did not open to the public until late in 2005.
After my bags were placed in my guest room, I quickly made my way onto the Quinta's veranda, as the sun was setting and I did not want to miss a single second of the beauty that was about to unfold over the vineyards near and far. [...]

Hi! I have a HP 550 laptop Celeron M550 CPU Snow Leopard successfully installed, using different sources of information (this thread not solves all of the problems with this particular version of HP 550). Everything is working great, including sleep, battery, fans, updates via update center (little bit slow though, thanks to an really old processor)... The only problem that drives me insane is... Every time power supply is disconnected, VoodooPS2 driver stoppes working. I'm using a very old version 1.1.0. Newer kexts are not working after installation (tried both /E/E, /S/L/E, apple kext are deleted). Googling is not helping at all, it seems like nobody faced this issue.
Is there any way to update VoodooPS2 kext on this laptop? Is there specific version? Or maybe another solution? Please help!

text:
Or he could have highlighted - as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton often did during her tenure in the US Senate - that official Palestinian institutions indoctrinate Palestinian children in a culture of death, teach them to hate Jews and aspire to become suicide bombers in a jihad aimed at Israel's physical eradication.
It was predictable that the Palestinians would condemn Romney for his run of the mill support for Israel and his milquetoast criticism of the Palestinians, because they reject every criticism of their behavior and take umbrage at every step anyone takes that suggests acceptance of the Jewish state or recognition of Jewish history.
This behavior is common to all groups in Palestinian society, from Hamas to Fatah to the so-called liberal reformers. In line with this, while Hamas condemned visits to Auschwitz as helping "Israel to spread the lie of the Holocaust... and garner international sympathy... at the expense of the Palestinians," the supposedly moderate, liberal Palestinian for Dignity organization condemned the EU for upgrading its trade ties with Israel.
The EU is the largest financial backer of the PA. Its policies towards Israel are in complete alignment with what the purportedly moderate Palestinians claim they want in a peace deal with Israel, including the partition of Jerusalem, and the expulsion of 600,000 Jews from Judea and Samaria and the neighborhoods built outside of the 1949 armistice lines in Jerusalem. And yet, as Shoshana Bryen from the Jewish Policy Center reported, for simply upgrading EU trade ties with Israel, Palestinian for Dignity announced its members "will organize to protest the latest manifestation of EU complicity and to challenge its presence and operations in Palestine."
Given the routine nature of Palestinian hysteria at Romney, and the bipartisan consensus upon which Romney's remarks were based, there was no reason either his remarks or the Palestinians' response to his remarks would spark any controversy in the US. Indeed, given the fact that both US law and the majority of Americans respect Israel's determination that Jerusalem is its capital city, it could have been taken for granted that Obama would keep his head down and hope to avoid further discussion of the issue.
Certainly, given that he had made statements similar to - indeed stronger than - Romney's statements about cultural causes for economic prosperity, it could have been assumed that Obama and his surrogates would have disregarded PA spokesman Saeb Erekat's ridiculous characterization of Romney's statement as "racist."
Given that it is election season, and then-candidate Obama's stated support for Jerusalem as Israel's capital in 2008, the Obama administration could reasonably have made its own endorsement of Jerusalem as Israel's capital city.
But amazingly, the Obama administration has taken the opposite tack. Obama and his media surrogates seized on the Palestinians' criticism of Romney as proof that by embracing the American consensus on Israel, Romney had committed an unforgivable diplomatic faux pas.
First there was the White House's statement Monday on Jerusalem. Rather than keeping quiet, Obama doubled down. In a press briefing, White House deputy spokesman Josh Earnest not only refused to acknowledge that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. He drew attention to the difference between Romney's position and the administration's and denied that Israel has a capital.
In Earnest's words, "Our view is that [Romney's position that Jerusalem is Israel's capital] is a different position than this administration holds. It's the view of this administration that the capital should be determined in final-status negotiations between parties."
At the same time, Obama's media surrogates have focused their wrath on Romney's statement about the cultural sources of economic prosperity.
Foreign Policy's David Rothkopf condemned Romney's statement as racist.
The New York Times' Thomas Friedman accused Romney of "not knowing what he was talking about."
Both Rothkopf and Friedman - and a chorus of their colleagues on the even more hysterical Left - laced their broadsides against Romney with frontal assaults against top Republican donor Sheldon Adelson and other Jewish American supporters of Romney. These denunciations were - at a minimum - infused with anti-Semitic innuendo.
Rothkopf wrote that in embracing Israel, "at a fund-raiser to pander to big donors - including Sheldon Adelson," Romney displayed "a willingness to sacrifice US interests in exchange for political cash."
Friedman's entire column was a screed against pro-Israel American Jews who contribute to the campaigns of candidates that support Israel. He argued that in pursuit of these American Jewish dollars, Republican politicians have abandoned America's national interest. In other words, Friedman alleged that American Jewish money is causing Republicans to betray their country.
Friedman wrote, "the main Israel lobby, AIPAC, has made itself the feared arbiter of which lawmakers are 'pro' and which are 'anti-Israel,' and therefore who should get donations and who should not."
On their face, Obama's repeated assaults on Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem, and his surrogates' attacks on pro-Israel politicians, make no sense. For the past two years, Democratic leaders have insisted that support for Israel is bipartisan.
Last year, Democratic National Committee chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz demanded that her Republican colleagues avoid making Israel a "wedge issue," that would distinguish Democrats from Republicans.
But again, Romney's statements in Jerusalem did nothing of the sort. They were the embodiment of the bipartisan consensus. It is Obama who is distinguishing between the parties' positions on Israel.
Obama is making his hostility to Israel a wedge issue.
As Republicans repeat traditional positions, the Democrats are rendering conventional statements of amity with the Jewish state controversial. It is the Obama White House and its surrogates who are attacking those who recognize Israel's capital as diplomatic flamethrowers. It is the Democrats who are demonizing American supporters of Israel as disloyal.
Obama's assault on Romney is an extension and amplification of his Jewish proxy J Street's campaign against Congressmen Allen West of Florida and Joe Walsh of Illinois. Last month, J Street released ads attacking West and Walsh for being even more pro-Israel than most of their pro-Israel congressional colleagues. After Romney returned from Israel, J Street released a new ad attacking Romney for being nearly as pro-Israel as West and Walsh.
What has changed? Why are Obama and his surrogates now highlighting Obama's hostility? Why are they making opposition to Israel a partisan issue and attacking Republicans for being pro-Israel?
Much of the answer was provided by by J Street president Jeremy Ben-Ami last week. In an interview with The New York Times, Ben-Ami explained, "Every single number indicates that there is simply no such thing as a Jewish problem for the president. The people who only vote on Israel didn't vote for Obama last time and know who they are voting for already."
In other words, Obama has given up on the pro- Israel vote. He's going for the anti-Israel vote and the indifferent-to-Israel vote. True, Obama outrageously markets his anti-Israel platform as pro- Israel. For instance, J Street attack ads on pro-Israel Congressmen West and Walsh present them preposterously as "anti-Israel."
So, too, Friedman and Rothkopf write that by supporting Israel, Romney is harming Israel, because it is Israel's vital interest to be diplomatically coerced into surrendering to its Palestinian enemies.
Although this seems merely ridiculous, it is actually insidious. These arguments are implicit messages to three groups. For out-and-out anti-Semites, they reinforce the paranoid belief that Jews and Israel are so powerful that even the president is afraid to openly say what he thinks about us.
For socially conscious Israel-haters, the messaging enables them to continue bashing Israel without fear that they will be accused of being anti-Semites.
And for American Jews who are indifferent to Israel, the messages give them cover to vote for Obama without having to admit that they couldn't care less about Israel.
Obama's reelection campaign strategy has mystified many observers. Why, they wonder, is he playing to his base instead of moving to the Center? Like his attacks on free enterprise and Catholics, his attacks on Israel seem to indicate that he doesn't care about getting reelected.
But this is not the case. Evidently, Obama's campaign strategy is to conduct multiple micro-campaigns rather than one national campaign. Apparently his data indicate that he will win or lose the election depending on how a few key districts in swing states vote. Based on these data, his campaign strategists have plainly concluded that some of these decisive districts are populated by anti- Semites, Israel-haters and indifferent Jews for whom his absurdly marketed anti-Israel positions resonate.
Aside from that, these positions clearly resonate with him. Consequently, they will certainly form the basis for his policy towards Israel if he wins a second term in office.
