The Ohio Art Company, Ellen Dallager, File, AP Photo/
TOLEDO, Ohio — The makers of Etch A Sketch are sending a big box of their toys to the presidential campaigns to say thanks for the publicity.
It all started when Mitt Romney's strategist likened his campaign to an Etch A Sketch, saying Romney can shake it up and start again.
Democrats and Republicans have seized on the remark to argue that Romney has no fixed principles.
The biggest winner might be toymaker Ohio Art.
The Ohio company is reporting a jump in Etch A Sketch sales.
Ohio Art's marketing director says Etch A Sketch will remain neutral in the election. He points out that the toy has both a right and left knob to create its drawings.

Overnight Open Thread: The Fall and Continuing Fall of the British Empire (genghis)
From oLDE gUY comes an article from Mark Steyn regarding the continuation of western culture circling the drain of political correctness.
The gist of the article is that the U.K. may be poised to ban and perhaps criminalize ghey jokes. Its a very long article, but some good nuggets in there (and some really bad jokes at least in the sense theyre not all that funny.) And Steyn has also had some well-publicized run-ins with the Commonwealth authorities regarding issues of free speech. All your background are belong to here if you werent following it.
So for now, at least, go give your bedside copy of the U.S. Constitution a hug for protecting you from bullshit like this. For the moment.

Hometown Pharmacy Moves to New Spot
Submitted: 03/20/2013
Story By Lex Gray
- Big name stores dominate many small towns. But in Merrill, one store owner thinks bigger isn't always better.
Forrest Young owns Hometown Pharmacy in Merrill.
At the end of last year, it moved from Main Street to East Second Street.
The new spot isn't far from the old one, but it has on-site parking and a drive-through.
That makes it convenient, just like big chains.
But Young says he offers something different.
"The main thing is customer service. We know that vast majority of our customers by name when they come in here," he says. "We've had instances in the past where people switch over, and they're just taken aback by how quickly we learn their names and treat them as if they've been coming to our pharmacy forever."
Hometown Pharmacy moved into Merrill about three years ago.
The store attracts a lot of seniors, but Young hopes the new spot will attract a new crowd.
"People that prefer a Walmart, Walgreens type of experience are younger, they prefer being able to get in and out quicker, do some shopping while they're in there," Young says. "So we're hoping that with the middle school and the grocery store, we'll attract some of the younger customers, that we can grow with them, as well as make it easier access for our older customers."
Young was renting the Main Street store, but bought this building.
He says he plans on being in Merrill for a long time.

Brush Run fans, racers tough out weekend's bad storms
Submitted: 06/26/2016
Play Video
- Pounding rain, howling winds, and flashing lightning�"not the most ideal conditions for camping on Saturday night.
In fact, Saturday night's bad weather couldn't have picked a worse time for thousands of people to set up camp at the Crandon Race Track.
"We were holding onto the awning last night," said Keegan Kincaid, a racer from Crandon. ."It was pouring."
"Our canopy [got] rained [on] so much we had to keep pushing it up so it wouldn't collapse," said Paul Posbrig, a fan from Green Bay.
"It was coming in all over," said Jessie Braden, a fan from Richfield.
But for Crandon fans, the rain certainly didn't dampen the weekend.
"But we made the best of it," said Braden, who comes to Crandon every summer for the Brush Run.
"We had a canopy at one point and put up tarps on the walls as we got downpoured on and it was all windy," Braden said. "If we're going camping, it's going to rain!"
The fans also got their fair share of noise because the rain didn't really affect the race schedule.
"We just had to wait a little bit longer before we could put crews out on the track," said the raceway's announcer, Dave Mullins. "So needed it to dry off a little bit first. But really it was only about a half hour."
But it certainly changed the racers' strategy.
"And so you'll see a lot of changes in trucks and driving styles," Kincaid said.
"Figure out the track, sort out where the grip is, where it's wet, where it's dry," said Arie Luyendyk, Jr., a racer from Arizona.
But Crandon's track is pretty resilient.
"Most tracks we wouldn't be able to race on it the next day, but Crandon has a lot of clay," Kincaid said.
"Because this is a clay track, it doesn't absorb the water as much, it makes it more like a mud pit," Mullins said.
Sunday's nice weather quickly brought the track's conditions back to normal.
"I thought we were going to be racing in the mud, but turns out because of the sun and wind we're actually going back to our setup we had yesterday," Luyendyk, Jr., said.

#HomeMovieNight with HMV.
Hands up who owns at least one shelf full of DVDs? Ok, and hands up who never watches any of them? Yeah, me too.
I guess part of my problem is that I don't actually have a DVD player, so when HMV sent over a #HomeMovieNight kit I took it over to my good friend Lily's house. And I arrived just in time for Wagamama that her mum had ordered us from Deliveroo!
We were definitely in for a lovely, cosy night..

a long weekend in south devon.
Since my childhood home got sold, Bristol has been feeling much more like home. That in turn means that whenever I do find the time to visit Devon, it feels like a mini holiday, especially now that the weather is getting warmer.
British seaside holidays or staycations are so popular - of course you can get amazingly cheap flights to Europe, but if you're strapped for time or have a lot of things to bundle into your car (including kids) it can be a lot less stressful to just drive a couple of hours to the coast.
Here's what you can get up to in three days in the South Hams.

leverite n. (also leaverite) a worthless stone or rock, especially one mistaken as being valuable. Editorial Note: Paul Dickson writes in Family Words (1998, p. 79), "Heaverite, according to Raymond J. Nelson of Cody, Wyoming, is a rock that, upon examination, is only good to 'heave 'er right now.' Geologist Davide Dattie of Spring Valley, Minnesota, reports Nebulite is a rock you cannot identify—a rock of unknown or nebulous origin." Etymological Note: As explained in the citations, "leverite" is a jocular transformation of "leaver 'er right (there)." The -ite suffix is used to form the names of minerals and of organisms found in fossils, among other things. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)

Back Pain: Often a Pain in the Gluteus Medius
By David Kent, LMT, NCTMB
Each week, I treat several clients who complain of "low back pain." For many patients, however, the primary cause of their pain is not the lower back but the gluteus medius muscle. No matter what kind of massage practice you have, a great deal of your success will depend on how quickly you are able to determine the origin of a patient's complaint and your ability to produce measurable results. This article will review some ways to identify when the gluteus medius muscle is responsible for causing pain.
The gluteus medius muscle lies superficial to the gluteus minimus muscle and deep to the gluteus maximus muscle. Proximally, it attaches along the external surface of the ilium between the anterior and posterior gluteal lines. Distally, it attaches to the lateral surface of the greater trochanter of the femur. (See Figure 1) The gluteus medius muscle "abducts the hip joint; the anterior fibers medially rotate and may assist in flexion of the hip joint; [and] the posterior fibers laterally rotate and may assist in extension."1 It also helps to keep the pelvis level when the opposite leg is raised during activities such as walking, running, or standing on one leg.
Intake and History
The first step to designing and implementing an effective treatment plan is to understand the client's medical history and current circumstances. Utilizing health history intake forms will help you gather the appropriate information; they will also reveal important factors that could be relevant to a patient's condition.
Using pain scales to document a client's pain patterns are beneficial, as well. Ask the client to color the diagram form illustrating where on the body he/she experiences pain. Then ask the client to add modifiers that adequately describe the pain, followed by a number from 1-10 to rate its intensity. (See Figure 2) This diagram provides a helpful visual tool that you can reference during the session. You will also see how pain patterns often match common trigger point patterns, which are discussed in more detail below. (Read "Charting Your Progress: Visuals for Success," Massage Today February 2008.)
Ask the client if any of his/her daily activities are affected by the pain. If the answer is "yes," ask the client which muscles hurt, what movements aggravate the pain, and what he/she believes caused the pain. Ask if the client has recently started or modified an exercise program. Answers like walking, running, tennis, aerobics and other types of activities may indicate gluteus medius involvement. Has the client had any falls or sustained any hip injuries? What is the client's occupation? Does the client place a wallet or tools in a back pocket? All of these questions will help you narrow down the origin of pain. (Read "Questions With Direction," Massage Today September 2008.)
Gait and PosturalAnalysis
Observe the client as he/she walks. A painful or "weak gluteus medius muscle forces the client to lurch toward the involved side to place the center of gravity over the hip; such movement is called an abduction, or gluteus medius lurch."2 Show your client the relationship between posture and pain, and describe how you can help. Just like chiropractors who advertise free "spinal exams" to attract new patients, you could provide free postural analysis to attract new clients. Market the postural analysis as a value that you include during the initial visit; then include a second postural analysis taken upon completing a series of treatments. This is a great way to sell packages, and it also demonstrates postural progress. (Read "Getting Comfortable With Postural Analysis," Massage Today July 2008.) When conducting a postural analysis, look for signs of gluteus medius muscle involvement. Shortness of the gluteus medius muscle "may be seen as a lateral pelvic tilt, low on the side of tightness, along with some abduction of the extremity."1
"Myofascial trigger points (TrPs) in the gluteus medius are a commonly overlooked source of low back pain."3 There are three trigger points frequently identified in the gluteus medius muscle. TrP1 (Figure 1) is located lateral and superior to the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) just below the iliac crest. TrP1 refers pain and tenderness over the sacrum, above the iliac crest into the lumbar region, and throughout the gluteal region on the same side of the body as the trigger point. TrP2 (Figure 1) is positioned midway between the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the PSIS just below the iliac crest. "Pain referred from TrP2 is projected more laterally and to the midgluteal region; [and] may extend into the upper thigh posteriorly and laterally."4 TrP3 (Figure 1) is rarely present and can be located just posterior to the ASIS and just below the iliac crest. Referred pain is primarily produced over the sacrum bilaterally.
Educate your clients about trigger points. Use wall charts or flip charts to demonstrate their location on the body. Using charts and other aids will not only help the client, but it will also build your credibility with the client. This is also an excellent time to explain how the muscle affects posture.
Pain is a symptom. As massage therapists, our job is to address the cause of the pain and work to prevent its return. Educate your clients. Discuss proper ergonomics, stretching and strengthening. Identifying the gluteus medius as a source of back pain is easy once you have the knowledge.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich are among the finalists to be Donald Trump's running mate, sources confirmed to CNN on Thursday.
Trump is limited in his choices to the relatively few high-profile Republicans that endorsed him early and have stuck with him so far, so judged by that standard having Christie and Gingrich on the list makes a certain amount of sense. There simply aren't many current or former Republican officeholders that would agree to be Trump's running mate, but most of those that are willing have more than enough baggage to make them poor choices under normal circumstances.
Christie is staggeringly unpopular in his own state, he is widely disliked by most Republicans, and ever since he endorsed the nominee he has become little more than a punchline for jokes about being held hostage by Trump. He adds nothing to the ticket electorally, he brings with him his shoddy record as governor, and on top of it he knows only slightly more about foreign policy than Trump while holding the most predictably hawkish views. Adding Christie to the ticket might keep a few foreign policy hard-liners from voting for Clinton, but it would probably come at the expense of alienating a nontrivial portion of Trump's core supporters. By Christie's own admission from a few years ago, he isn't qualified to be president because of his lack of preparation on foreign policy, and that remains true today. Christie would be a comprehensively terrible choice, and so it is entirely possible that he will be Trump's selection.
Gingrich is a less obviously ridiculous choice, but it's hard to see what he brings to the ticket. He is a former Speaker of the House ousted because of personal scandal, he comes from a state Trump should still be able to win without him, and he likes to indulge bizarre ideas (colonizing the moon) and alarmist warnings (the danger of an EMP attack!). One sign of Gingrich's poor judgment is that he happens to be one of a small army of political has-beens that has shilled for the Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK), the "former" terrorist group and totalitarian cult that almost all Iranians around the world despise.
Gingrich's MEK boosterism should be disqualifying all by itself, but it also reflects just how horrible his foreign policy judgment is. No one interested in a sane or responsible foreign policy should want someone like this on a national ticket or anywhere close to the office of the presidency.]]>
As late as yesterday afternoon, Michael Gove was trying to persuade fellow Cabinet Ministers to back Boris Johnson. This morning, he announced that not only that he was running but that 'Boris cannot provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead'. Hours later, Boris – reeling from this blow – announced that he would not be running.
Gove reportedly came to view Johnson as too unreliable and flaky, which is a curious justification for abandoning someone he supported at the last minute to pursue his own leadership bid. The remarkable thing about Gove's decision is that it probably wrecks any chance he might have had at the leadership, and he has very likely delivered it into the hands of Theresa May, the Home Secretary, who was already a competitive candidate before Johnson dropped out. Most people inclined to back Johnson presumably view Gove as a traitor and not to be trusted, and that seems to be the case. Isabel Hardman reports:
It is fair to say after talking to a number of Boris supporters that some of them are currently so white hot with fury at what Gove has done in turning on his colleague at the last minute that there is little chance of them supporting the Justice Secretary's campaign.
If we assume that May is the favorite to win the contest, it is worth considering her views on what should happen next. In her announcement speech, May made clear that she intends to follow through on the referendum's result:
First, Brexit means Brexit. The campaign was fought, the vote was held, turnout was high and the public gave their verdict. There must be no attempts to remain inside the EU, no attempts to re-join in through the back door and no second referendum. The country voted to leave the European Union and it is the duty of the Government and Parliament to make sure we do just that. Second, there should be no general election until 2020. There should be a normal Autumn Statement held in the normal way at the normal time and no emergency budget. And there should be no decision to invoke Article 50 until the British negotiating strategy is agreed and clear, which means Article 50 should not be invoked before the end of this year [bold mine-DL].
That last point will sit very poorly with EU leaders, who seem to want the process of British withdrawal to have started yesterday and aren't interested in any further delays. Nonetheless, if May is serious about following through with leaving the EU that will at least provide some clarity about what the next government will try to do. May has a somewhat Euroskeptic reputation but was a supporter of Remain, and that could potentially make her a candidate acceptable to both factions in the party. Her announcement speech was full of praise for Cameron, so she isn't positioning herself against him or his overall record, and that will probably also make her a better fit with members of the party that aren't pleased that Cameron has gone. She struck a balance between being an advocate for Remain without having fallen into the alarmist nonsense that did that campaign so much harm:
Throughout I made clear that on balance I favoured staying inside the EU because of the economic risk of leaving, the importance of cooperation on security matters and the threat to the Union between England and Scotland. But I also said that the sky would not fall in if we left. I was open about the costs and the benefits and the risks and the opportunities of EU membership. So now the decision has been made, let's make the most of the opportunities our departure presents and get out into the world and help British firms to do business all around the globe. Because the task in front of us is no longer about deciding if we should leave or remain. The country has spoken and the United Kingdom will leave the EU.
It remains to be seen if May can win the support of her party, but when compared with the clown acts of Johnson and Gove she certainly seems more credible and responsible than either of them.]]>
To put it bluntly, not everything fits neatly into our preconceived framing devices, and certainly not everything is about the United States. Other countries have agency, too, and can make decisions that affect their national destiny, independently of the United States.
Americans are not the only ones that respond to foreign events this way, but it seems to be more common in the U.S., especially among people that pay the most attention to foreign affairs. Because the U.S. is involved in so many places, it is usually possible for some connection to be made between a given event and some recent U.S. action, but that doesn't mean that the latter caused the former. Because our foreign policy debates treat almost every foreign problem as one that the U.S. is obliged to address, and because far too many people in those debates credit the U.S. with enormous power to "shape" events, many Americans take for granted that if something happens overseas that the U.S. is in some way responsible for causing or "failing" to prevent the event in question. It is not an accident that these arguments are almost always made by people that have never seen a crisis or conflict that they didn't think the U.S. should take part in. Everything isn't about the U.S., but they very much want the U.S. to be meddling in everything, and so they try to make everything be about us in one way or another.
Cohen happened to be referring to the absurd claim that U.S. policy in Syria led to the "Brexit" vote, but he could just as easily have been referring to any number of other events in recent years that have been blamed on the U.S. when many others are far more directly responsible. Syria hawks have often been the biggest offenders when it comes to making these accusations. They tell us that there would have been no conflict in Ukraine if Obama had just bombed Syria as they demanded. Whatever happens to be in the news at the time, they will seize on it and say that it happened because they didn't get their way on intervening in Syria. All of the hawks' claims are absurd on their face, but they are repeated often and shamelessly enough that they begin to influence how these issues are understood. Further, by claiming that every event they don't like over the last few years is the product of not attacking another country they try to make an attack seem more desirable. Of course they deny the agency of other states and groups. The main thing that they're trying to do is to get the U.S. more deeply involved in the Syrian conflict, and they don't care how they do it.
If there is an "ISIS-inspired" attack somewhere in the West, they will declare that it is because the U.S. hasn't ensnared itself deeply enough in Syria and because it earlier tried to extricate itself from Iraq. The more direct and logical explanation that these attacks are at least partly responses to the bombing of Iraq and Syria over the last two years is never even considered, because that would require admitting that military action can have adverse and undesirable consequences for our security. One thing we can reliably expect from hawks is that they will deny that the U.S. has responsibility for any of the things that it actually does overseas while gnashing their teeth over the responsibility we supposedly have because of the things that our government hasn't done. That is why they will try to pin Syria's horrific humanitarian crisis on the U.S. because of our "inaction" while completely ignoring the equally horrific humanitarian crisis in Yemen that the U.S. has been helping to cause. This is all part of the ludicrous kabuki show that our foreign policy debates have become. We don't debate the administration's actual record, but instead allow both sides to fight over an invented one while overlooking the real costs and consequences of U.S. actions.]]>
"It's not the safest route forward. I'm running for re-election because I'm going to be a senator," he added. "I'm going to spend six years in the Senate making my mark on behalf of the people of Florida, but also on behalf of the things that are important for America."
Mmmmhmmm. This coming from the guy who for months said he wasn't going to run for re-election.
Given Rubio's past reversals and reputation for opportunism, it's difficult to take his denials seriously. It is even harder to take those denials seriously when it seems obvious that the reason he decided to seek re-election after all was to position himself for a 2020 presidential run. It will be up to Floridians to decide if they want to send Rubio back to the Senate, but I wouldn't be surprised if most of them are already tired of his ambitions for higher office. They may not be satisfied with the "mark" (or lack thereof) he's made on their behalf in his first term, and may not want to give him another chance.
If Rubio does intend to run for president again (and everyone assumes that he does), he isn't likely to benefit from being in the Senate. Josh Zeitz reviewed the record of unsuccessful first-time presidential candidates that returned to the Senate before a second run, and he noted that none of them was successful in later attempts:
More to the point, while many senators have run for the presidency and lost, a handful of onetime presidential aspirants have returned to the Senate after leaving it (or, in Rubio's case, almost leaving it)—only to run for president again. Of those returnee candidates, none was successful in using the Senate as a platform for another run at the White House. Some found it impossible to shake off the loser's reputation. Others found themselves bumped aside by newer, younger models.
Another recent example that Zeitz didn't mention was Bob Dole, but if anything Dole's example should be even more sobering for Rubio. Dole ran for president in 1980 and 1988, losing both times and returning to the Senate after each loss. He briefly became majority leader in the mid-'80s and again after the '94 midterms. He ran again in 1996 and secured the nomination before being handily defeated in the general election. That is the most that Rubio can reasonably hope for, and even that would require putting in a lot more time in the Senate before he will be able to mount a credible campaign.
Most candidates that have done as poorly in their first presidential run as Rubio did usually don't bother with a second one. If Rubio hadn't made the mistake of running for president this year, his chances in a future election cycle would probably be much better. As it is, he'll be lucky to keep the job that he claimed not to want anymore.]]>
President Obama's term in office, said Richard Haass, the president of the Council on Foreign Relations, was marked by the pendulum swinging toward caution. "Much of his administration was a conscious reaction what he saw of his predecessor of trying to do much," he said. "Seeing the dangers of doing too much, he opted to do less, and I think what historians will see is that he opted to do too little in places [bold mine-DL]."
I don't know how future historians will view Obama's foreign policy, and neither does Haass. It is interesting that Haass chooses to put it this way, since he is really making a statement about how much of the contemporary foreign policy establishment views Obama's record. It is Haass and many of his colleagues that now think Obama has done "too little in places," which is tied up with their support for an exaggerated, activist U.S. role in the world. Obama has actually been a very activist foreign policy president in both terms, but on certain issues he has not been quite as aggressive as many in the foreign policy establishment wanted him to be, and so they conclude that he did "too little." Haass invokes future historians to make his assessment seem objective and disinterested, but it just a way to smuggle in the objections of administration critics that want a more meddlesome foreign policy.
Haass also chides Obama for having "an intellectual and political overreaction to his predecessor." The funny thing about this is that it was not that long ago that Haass himself used to think that the U.S. was doing too much abroad. At some point in the last three years, Haass concluded that Obama is insufficiently activist. This is the same period in which Obama started a new unauthorized war in Iraq and Syria, backed the Saudi-led campaign in Yemen, concluded a nuclear deal with Iran, and increased military aid to the Syrian opposition.
Haass has come to accept the conventional D.C. wisdom that Obama is too passive overseas during the same period when Obama has committed the U.S. to fight and support new wars of choice, which were the very things he was saying the U.S. should reject just a few years ago. The assessment that Obama has done "too little" abroad is at odds with Obama's record of frequent activism, and if future historians base their interpretations on Obama's actions instead of the spin put on them by contemporary critics they aren't likely to share Haass' complaint.]]>
This referendum, then, was a very European act, consistent with the preferences of voters across the Continent.
In that sense, the U.K.'s Brexit vote is merely the continuation of a long trend of voter dissatisfaction with the European Union. Put another way, the vote was the EU's longstanding democratic deficit coming home to roost. The real difference between Perfidious Albion and the Continent is that Britain finally gave voters an unambiguous choice [bold mine-DL]. Similar votes in many continental countries might be even more lopsided if they were ever allowed.
The EU has pursued its project of "ever closer union" by simply ignoring electorates when they give the "wrong" answer or opting not to consult them at all, but when it comes to the U.K. referendum it seems that it won't be able to do that. The other votes that went against what EU leaders wanted may have been easier to dismiss because they were votes against a proposed change to the existing institutions of the union, but in this case it was a complete rejection of the union itself. If EU leaders show little sign of learning anything from this rejection, they do seem to understand that this isn't the kind of vote that can be held again. It is also the sort of vote that they will not want to see held anywhere else, but the demand for such a vote may be overwhelming in some places.
Carney recommends that the vote is "an opportunity for introspection in Brussels," but it is rare for a political class to respond to popular repudiation this way. It can happen, but it is more likely that the result will cause leaders committed to the project to become even more intransigent and determined to have their way. It is much more tempting and far easier to deride the voters as ignorant and foolish, congratulate themselves on their own far-sighted understanding, and change absolutely nothing. That doesn't bode well for the future success of the EU, and it will be that refusal to learn anything from this referendum that could contribute greatly to the later crack-up of the union.]]>
[European Commission President] Juncker reiterated his view that Cameron lost the referendum because he and his party have spent years dismissing the EU as anti-democratic and "too technocratic." He said Cameron shouldn't be "taken by surprise if voters believe you."
Cameron bears significant responsibility for losing a referendum he assumed he would win, but he didn't lose because he was too critical of the EU in the past. One problem was that his valid criticisms in the past didn't square with his alarmism about what would befall the U.K. outside the EU. Another was that his earlier criticisms made it hard for people to take him seriously as a defender of Britain's membership in the EU. He wasn't quite enough of a Euroskeptic to have credibility with the people inclined to vote Leave, but he was too much of one to be credible as a Europhile advocate.
What Juncker naturally misses is that the EU is anti-democratic and too technocratic (and that's the way that many EU leaders like it). As far as many voters across Europe are concerned, those are some of the EU's major flaws. They aren't seen that way by the EU's top officials, and that's a major cause of this latest rift. Cameron didn't err by acknowledging those flaws earlier. The real failure here was the EU's unwillingness to make any concessions that might address these entirely valid criticisms. That put Cameron and his allies in an impossible position of defending institutions that refused to be reformed with the promise that they still could be. That left British voters virtually no choice but to reject continued membership. In the end, that isn't only Cameron's fault. The fault also lies with the short-sighted Eurocrats that have assumed they can get their own way regardless of what voters in any member state think. They created the conditions that made "Brexit" possible, and ultimately they have no one to blame but themselves.]]>
The leave campaign does not have a common vision and does not have a common plan because its members wouldn't be able to agree on one.
This is not as interesting or surprising as Applebaum clearly thinks it is. It's true that a temporary coalition organized to win a referendum doesn't have a "common vision" beyond supporting an exit from the EU because many different kinds of people supported withdrawal. Labour voters from Wales presumably don't agree with Boris Johnson about most things, but some of them did agree on this question for their own reasons. There were different groups with competing ideas for what a post-"Brexit" U.K. would look like and what it would do, and those ideas contradicted each other because people with different political views and priorities disagree with each other all the time. Agreeing on one issue, even a major one, doesn't override or cancel out pre-existing political disagreements, and different factions are going to end up on the same side of a debate for all sorts of reasons.
One could make a similar "charge" against Remain campaigners and say that their coalition included separatists and unionists, conservatives and socialists, republicans and monarchists, and so on, but what would be the point? Broad national coalitions are, well, broad, and during referendums they are organized for the sole purpose of winning an election. In short, Applebaum is objecting that the Leave campaign did not unify disparate political factions around a common post-EU agenda in the space of a few months, and we're supposed to think that this is discrediting. The problem with the "Brexit" coalition is supposed to be that it was too inclusive of opposing political views? This is all the more ridiculous when we remember that the point of the campaign was to argue for regaining increased control over decisions that affect the U.K. It was not a campaign that had to agree on any set agenda beforehand, and if it had done so it would have alienated some of the voters that propelled them to victory last week. No doubt some of the people that voted Leave will end up being disappointed with what a post-"Brexit" government does in the future (as most voters are always disappointed to some degree in the results of their votes), but that government will be accountable to them in a way that the EU was never going to be. That's the part that Leave voters agreed about, and so naturally it is the part that receives as little mention in Applebaum's column as possible.]]>
In the meantime, the United States can best support Britain, and Europe, by becoming a more active and vocal leader of the NATO alliance, which will retain Britain as a member. If the European Union is weakening or even in danger of crumbling, to the delight of Vladimir Putin, Mr. Xi and other adversaries, then one antidote is a reinforced transatlantic military partnership that bridges the incipient gap between London and the continent.
Attentive readers will notice that this has nothing to do with supporting Britain. It does not help Britain in any tangible way if the U.S. becomes "a more active and vocal leader of the NATO alliance." Insofar as this increased activism involves demanding additional commitments from the U.K. in the coming years, it will probably be a nuisance that most people in British politics would just as soon skip. It is just an excuse to agitate for the more activist U.S. policy in Europe that the Post's editors have wanted for years. They specifically reject doing anything that might actually be helpful to the U.K. during its transition, and instead look to use "Brexit" as an excuse for increasing the U.S. role in Europe.
It is telling that the Post thinks that there needs to be an "antidote" to a democratic decision by the citizens of a close ally. Having an antidote ready at hand implies that there is a poison that needs to be countered, which in this case happens to be a free vote to withdraw from an international political organization. Nothing could better sum up how thoroughly at odds with representative government the EU has become. It doesn't surprise me that their answer to the referendum is to push for policies that will heighten tensions in Europe and add new commitments that the U.S. doesn't need, but it is striking that they don't even try to explain how this is in the interests of the U.S. or Britain.]]>
The first lesson Brexit has for anti-Trump America is that there's a potential majority out there that is angry, scared, and more than willing to jump into the abyss.
There are a few problems with comparing the result from Britain's vote last week and Trump's chances in our presidential election. For one thing, Trump is viewed even less favorably here than the EU is viewed in Britain. Only 44% in Britain viewed the EU favorably in a Pew survey earlier this year, and Trump's average national favorability rating is 36%. The Republican candidate is more toxic to most Americans than the EU is to most Britons, and Remain just lost.
If the referendum tells us anything about our election, it is that the side weighed down by the unpopular candidate/cause is the one that will end up losing, but then we should have already known that. Even if he didn't have other problems, Trump would have an uphill climb in the general election because most Americans simply dislike him. While there are some clear similarities between some Leave and Trump voters, it would be a mistake to see the success of the Leave campaign as a sign that Trump is capable of pulling off something similar.
Another reason to doubt that the EU referendum tells us much about how Trump will do is the different demographics of the two countries: the U.S. has a significantly lower percentage of white voters and a much larger percentage of nonwhite voters. If the U.S. looked like the U.K. demographically, it's conceivable that Trump could win the election, but that hasn't been the case for forty years or more. There may be more white voters than many people have assumed based on 2012 exit polling, but there don't appear to be enough of them to make Trump president.
Polling for the EU referendum was not all that accurate, and Trump supporters can draw some encouragement from that, but that is not saying much. Leave was very competitive in the polling average during a large part of the campaign, and Trump's deficit against Clinton just continues to grow. Leave started out pretty far behind, but gradually closed the gap. Since he clinched the nomination, Trump's numbers have been going the other way. If you paid attention to the polls in the referendum campaign, a Leave win would not have surprised you at all. Based on the polling we've seen in late spring and early summer, it requires a dramatic recovery or an unparalleled polling failure to imagine a Trump victory.]]>
Were I British, I'd probably have voted to Remain. But it's not hard to understand being pissed off at being subject to unaccountable bureaucrats in Brussels. Nor is it hard to imagine the post-Brexit backlash confirming every suspicion you might have about the people who run the EU.
Imagine having pundits and professors suggest you should have your voting rights curtailed because you voted Leave. Now imagine these same people are calling voters like you "children," and castigating you for being insufficiently appreciative of, say, the joys of submitting to a European Supreme Court that claims primacy over the Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights.
The overall message in every case is the same: Let us handle things.
What makes this contempt for voters even more notable is that it follows a decade and more of multiple, massive elite failures, all of which contributed to one degree or another in creating the profound popular distrust of political leaders and "experts" that made it much easier for many people to vote Leave. Technocratic rule may be tolerable if the technocrats are perceived to be good at their job and retain some political legitimacy in the eyes of the voters, but when they aren't and don't it is hard to take their complaints about ill-informed voters seriously. One observer put it this way:
That so many brazenly lecture about curtailing popular judgment in decade after Iraq War, financial crisis, & austerity is really something.
— Taniel (@Taniel) June 27, 2016
The point here is not that popular judgments are necessarily better or more reliable (in some or all of these cases political leaders initially had popular support for their disastrous choices), but that the political and media classes in the West have had a very bad track record since at least the start of the century. More important, they have presided over one failure after another largely without being held to account. This referendum offered voters an opportunity to punish the political class that served them poorly, and they took it.
One of the odder responses to the Leave win is to cite it as proof that no one should ever hold a referendum on an important question. Trying to run a government by referendum would indeed be impractical and unwise, but to give the electorate one opportunity to have its say on a significant issue on which the majority's views are not represented by any major party seems like the most grudging concession to the people. Britain is a country full of Euroskeptics, and yet there is only one thoroughly Euroskeptic party (i.e., UKIP) and it has exactly one MP in Parliament. Voters that don't like the EU are badly underrepresented, and the referendum just showed us by how much. One of the reasons why so many Labour voters backed Leave was that their party leaders long ago ignored their views and concerns, especially on immigration, and voting Leave gave them a way to voice those concerns so that they might finally be heard and taken seriously. It is utterly predictable that their support for Leave should now be cited as another reason to ignore and dismiss them.
Maybe these questions shouldn't be decided this way, but it's not as if there was another option available. Given the structure of the EU and the nature of its institutions, there is no other way for British voters (or voters in any other EU country) to hold the EU to account for their decisions. The same democratic deficit that motivated many people in the U.K. to vote Leave is the very thing that critics of the referendum result want to increase, and in the process prove that the majority was right to think that their opponents held them in total contempt.]]>
The "Brexit" vote shows how hard it is to defend the EU. David Miller observes that even Remain supporters don't have anything positive to say about it.
Nobody is really pro-EU. Tim Black looks at the EU and finds nothing appealing about it.
The referendum was a great thing for democracy. Brendan O'Neill comments on the significance of the EU referendum and what can be learned from it.
The toxic U.S.-Saudi relationship. Michael Brendan Dougherty rails against the relationship with the Saudis and U.S. involvement in the war on Yemen.]]>
No prime minister in living memory has suffered a defeat of such cataclysmic proportions; none has been so thoroughly humiliated by his own electorate. Cameron lost control of his party and then his country. The consequences of that carelessness will be felt, in Britain and internationally, for years to come. Future political historians will ponder a melancholy question: what was the point of David Cameron? And their judgment is likely to be severe.
Cameron promised a vote on EU membership to maintain party unity and stave off the challenge from UKIP, and so it is oddly fitting that in following through on that promise he succeeded in further fracturing his party and opening the door for UKIP to achieve its main goal. Just as he thought he could smother Scottish nationalism with the independence referendum two years ago, he believed he could squash Euroskepticism in the Tory ranks and put the issue to rest for good, and in both cases he miscalculated about as badly as one can.
You might think that Cameron would have learned from the Scottish referendum that these things can backfire and empower the very people it is meant to weaken, but he did not. He seems to have taken an entirely different, wrong lesson from the unionist win in 2014. He seems to have concluded that the side he supported couldn't lose, and so he may have thought there was no danger that he would if he called a referendum. Whatever else one wants to say about how he conducted himself in these campaigns, what stands out most in all of this is Cameron's sheer arrogance and poor political judgment. He picked two fights that he was certain he couldn't lose, nearly lost one, and then lost the other in such a way that makes it very likely that the other result will be reversed as well.]]>
The widespread belief that undecided voters usually side with the status quo probably contributed to a certain amount of complacency among Remain voters. If many Remain voters didn't feel the need to show up–and turnout in many Remain areas was much lower than the national average–there may have also been some Leave voters who thought they could get a "free" protest vote without changing anything. Some people that have become accustomed to voting one way or the other without seeing meaningful changes in their circumstances may have assumed that voting either way wouldn't matter.
Immigration was the main issue that the Leave campaign used to its advantage, but what made that especially important for their voters was that it affected a number of other important things (health, education, housing, etc.) and it was an issue on which their political leaders resolutely refused to pay attention to their concerns. It was a symbol of everything that they disliked about their own government and its relationship with the EU, and it was an issue over which they knew they had no control as long as things stayed as they are. This was probably most true for disaffected Labour voters, who have already shown a willingness to abandon their party in previous elections because they think (correctly) that their leaders long since abandoned them. There were reports of a working-class rebellion brewing in the U.K., but many on the Remain side seem to have thought that they could continue ignoring these people.
Having had their concerns and interests dismissed for decades, these voters similarly dismissed the pleading of their leaders to vote to stay in. The lack of trust in these leaders was fatal for the Remain campaign, because its case depended so heavily on the leaders' warnings, and they had already proven many times over that they couldn't be trusted. The fact that these same leaders relied so heavily on scare tactics to make their case can't have helped rebuild that lost trust. The more outrageous the fear-mongering became, the less credibility the Remain advocates ended up having with large swathes of the electorate. Decades of neglect and contempt that so many politicians showed these voters came back to bite the political class at the most critical moment.
The EU's multiple failures over the last decade also contributed to driving an already Euroskeptic country out the door. The creation of the euro was a major blunder, and the destructive policies that EU leaders forced on other member states for the sake of the eurozone compounded the original error. The Lisbon treaty process confirmed that the EU would continue its centralizing tendencies without regard for what voters thought about that (and it also provided the mechanism that the U.K. will now use to leave the EU). Merkel's response to the migration crisis was almost perfectly designed to generate anti-EU sentiment. British voters could see what the EU had done to other member states in these crises, and many reasonably concluded that at some point it could do similar things to them. Because the EU has no meaningful political accountability to correct these errors and was never going to have any, leaving seemed to be the best option.
I don't know how many voters were impressed by Leave arguments that focused on self-government and democratic accountability, but these arguments cast leaving the EU as a positive and empowering action. That was probably very attractive to voters that feel that they have very little power or influence over the way their country is governed. The Leave camp presented withdrawing from the EU as an affirmation of democracy and an expression of national self-confidence. Compared to the dreary technocratic arguments coming from the other side, it is no wonder that more people found this to be the more appealing message.]]>

The concerns about Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray have never really been about his ability, but rather his lack of durability. There's been little question the guy has game. On a Week 16 fantasy championship Sunday, Murray continued to showcase his enticing talents with his third 20-point standard fantasy performance in four games, the longest stretch of consistent excellence in his short career. He also became the first Cowboys running back to rush for 1,000 yards since Julius Jones in 2006 and in the process likely secured a top-10 fantasy finish for the season among running backs.

The physical and chemical properties of tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum (Alq3), one of the organic materials most commonly used as the light-emitting layer of OLEDs, and the interface with possible metal cathodes are investigated by means of first-principles computer simulations. A number of new insights have emerged from this study, and we emphasize the consequences of the properties thus discovered with respect to the functioning of OLED devices. In particular, novel Alq3 derivatives can be designed with the aid of computations that should enhance the intrinsic luminescence of the pristine material.
