I had hoped TN was smarter than this.
Thanks. Great updates from that site.
No idea. Rick is running away with the TN contest, by all estimations!
Willard needs to be a severe patriot and drop out!!!
Mrs Newt talking now.
"Willard needs to be a severe patriot and drop out!!!
I have never heard that expression before...I've heard of an extreme patriot,,but a severe patriot sounds like a medical condition. Is it just me or does the name Willard remind anyone else of that rat in the movie Ben and Willard. Just wondering....
Hey Onyx, is the paint dry yet?
Oh I doubt Romney will appoint Paul as VP....I don't think he's that stupid...well maybe he is on second thought! At any rate Paul got a deal early on, or is positioning himself so they barter for his delegates from the highest bidder no doubt, and why we never saw him take on Romney....he's been covering for him from the get go...the elite Republicans knew Romney would likely run into trouble and thus Pauls run to hedge him in.
It's the evangelicals.
Santorum wins Tennessee
After having so many dreadful Republican senators for so long, TN chooses Santorum and ignores Fred Thompson's input.
There's a chant I can get behind!
Callista did great and would make a lovely first lady. I'd like to see her debate Michelle! Lol
Go Newt!
DROP OUT, WILLARD!!! Yeah, I LIKE it!!!
".the elite Republicans knew Romney would likely run into trouble and thus Pauls run to hedge him in." You may be right there Caww. It is just tough for my little brain to imagine any of the Paulistas warming up to the R man...so different than what they say they are about.
According to Huffpo...Rick has been called winner in TN.
Um, Santorum hasn't taken the catholic vote yet.
Not to be overlooked:
Not only will OK, TN, and GA alone bring Newt 100+ additional delegates tonight, but Romney is underperforming expectations in three states already.
We are a third of the way through the process now, and have had many Mitt Romney-heavy states vote already (CO, MA, NH, VT, ND, ID, WY, WA, NV, AZ, VA, And ME). Romney might not even have 400 delegates as of tomorrow, which is a VERY IMPORTANT THING. Why? The majority of the states remaining are not Mitt-friendly states, beginning with Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, and Indiana. California allocates by district, and a majority of the districts will go for someone other than Romney. NY/NJ will be Mitt's sweetest plums, but they won't be enough.
1144 delegates just got MUCH harder after tonight.
I now openly predict that, based on my calculations, Mitt Romney will fall more than 100 delegates short of the 1144 necessary to be the nominee. I fully predict a brokered convention now, here and on record! I have read the rules for the remaining states this past week with several other folks helping out on the campaign. It would take a tidal wave of momentum in Mitt's favor to get over the 1144 threshold now.
Hopefully, Mitt gets denied more and more states tonight (ND, ID, AK, among others), but either way we have dealt a deep blow to the GOP-E. Talk of a brokered convention will now get louder, because folks in the "know" are going to be doing the math.
You heard it here first. They will do the math starting tomorrow, and a brokered convention will become very real in everyone's minds.
Woohoo! Go Rick!!
You all can pick the top of the ticket, I'll vote for whoever it is. Bottom line - with a Pubbie in the WH, legislation will move. Even Romney isn't going to veto bills that come to him.
(yes, I'm assuming we win the Senate too)
It will be Rand Paul for VP, deal with the devil.
In a brokered convention if all the delegates are released to vote for whomever they want how could Newt lose?
He is clearly the smartest of the four! Maybe that is a possibility?
Oh yeah, those bitter clingers.
Romney's wins are not impressive. Newt and Rick were not on the ballot in Virginia, and there's no chance Vermont and Massachusetts will go Republican in November.
Please God... if you love this country at all, help Rick win OH.
Please please please.
Oh that's right! Ah-ha.....sneaky little twits aren't they. But then that is how the enemy of mens souls works.
Just thinking of President Willard makes me want to chuck.
"Willard needs to be a severe patriot and drop out!!!"
That's the best idea I've heard all night!
It seems to me that if either Rick or Newt bail out tomorrow, whoever is left will still be defeated by Romney. By the time May 29 comes around, TX will probably be for Romney too, as people like to pick winners. Surely CA in June will be for Romney. Romney is winning many states that he will immediately forfeit to Obama, including both of his home states of MA and MI.
Santorum is gaining on Romney in Ohio. It looks like the urban areas have gone for Romney and they've reported already.
"You heard it here first. They will do the math starting tomorrow, and a brokered convention will become very real in everyones minds."
You are a brave soul. Hey, if you end up being correct, can we confab over the football season so you can help me with some games?
Just like in football, I am more a spectator than a participant and I really have no clue how it's all going to go but like to hear others offer up their ideas. It helps me learn. I appreciate it,,well I appreciate most every poster on FR,,esp those with tattoos,,whose husbands have painted over (ask Onyx)
I don't care what they say about her hair, I like Missus Newt (a good Wisconsin girl). With Newt's past who can know for sure, but they seem to have a pretty solid marriage, and clearly show respect for on another, and with marriage under assault that is a good thing to see.
Bitterly clinging to their religion and guns?
Thanks for your work on the analysis. I'm not crazy about your tagline, but thanks nonetheless :)
really? are the urban counties almost done?
> Santorum is gaining on Romney in Ohio. It looks like the urban areas have gone for Romney and theyve reported already.
THANK YOU LORD!!!! Keep 'er rollin' for Rick!
I like her. She seems to have the grace and dignity one likes to see in a traditional first lady.
"Just thinking of President Willard makes me want to chuck."
There's a limerick in there just waiting to be born I tell ya. I'm Scots Irish.
"How much Willard could an upchuck chuck,,," no
"Stand Up Chuck" ooopsss,,I just plagiarized Biden,,,wonder what that makes me....
Chuck meet Hurl
The only thing I really was interested in was a last minute dirty trick against Newt in GA. As soon as I saw he had taken GA, I allowed myself to breathe. It ain't ovah. Not by a long shot.
santorum is reverting to type. mitt is consistently nasty. Newt is a Phoenix. And there is time.
Seems to me you're trying a little too hard.
Don't worry, he'll never get elected. Obama and the DemocRATs have amassed a library full of opposition research against Willard - and half of the things they'll say is probably true!
In a brokered convention I don't see how any logical intelligent Republican could even consider anyone but Newt. He's by far the smart guy of the four and has answers already that the others will have to search for.
My beloved Sarah Palin will endorse him, but I am NOT voting for Romney.
I will write in Sarah Palin's name and it had better be published as part of the official vote in my local newspaper for all to see.
I will write in Sarah Palin too. That is who I wanted at the very beginning of this mess.
From your fingers to God's ears!
"I like her. She seems to have the grace and dignity one likes to see in a traditional first lady."
I like her too. She seems a bit cold and removed but I can understand that considering the awful slings and arrows she has to put up with.
As far as first ladies go,,I am inclined to call the current one "Miss Bicep"...so much fuss has been made about her arm definition. Good grief, as if that matters at all!
And extremely low turnout in Virginia makes Romney look extremely weak.

I'm new to this, but I'm mystified.
I have a text widget on my sidebar that contains a link to amazon and an image. I've pasted html into the text box, that's fine. The link works, and on the main page the image loads. The image file is stored in my root directory.
When I click on a link for a post, the format of the page is the same except it shows only the single post, the sidebar is the same, the amazon link works, but the image doesn't load.
I've tried loading the image files in other directories that seemed logical, then tried loading into (and then deleted from) nearly every directory...because the file must be looking for the image somewhere!
I've scanned every line of the html for the two pages, comparing for any differences, and I can't find anything.
Does anyone know what's going on here, or if not specifically, does anyone know where the files are stored for individual posts, so maybe I could try putting the image file in that directory? I know html but not php, and I'm stumped here.

Grateful Dead
Greatest Stories Ever Told - "Brokedown Palace"
By David Dodd
Here's the plan—each week, I will blog about a different song, focusing, usually, on the lyrics, but also on some other aspects of the song, including its overall impact—a truly subjective thing. Therefore, the best part, I would hope, would not be anything in particular that I might have to say, but rather, the conversation that may happen via the comments over the course of time—and since all the posts will stay up, you can feel free to weigh in any time on any of the songs! With Grateful Dead lyrics, there's always a new and different take on what they bring up for each listener, it seems. (I'll consider requests for particular songs—just private message me!)
A few days ago, I was lucky enough to be at a backyard house concert featuring Mark Karan, playing acoustic and mostly solo. He ended his show with a beautiful version of "Brokedown Palace." A friend of mine, standing next to me, turned to me when it was over and said, "Just in case—that's the song I want played at my memorial service." I told him, "Me, too."
I have heard it played at a couple of memorial services over the years, always to excellent effect. It's a song that begs to be sung again and again, and there have been some excellent cover versions over the years, including, in particular, versions by Joan Osborne, found on her album, Pretty Little Stranger, and a gorgeous instrumental version by Jeff Chimenti with Fog.
The lyric to "Brokedown Palace" was written by Robert Hunter as part of a suite of songs that arrived via his pen during a stay in London in 1970. He entitled it "Broke-Down Palace," and now that it exists as a piece of writing, it seems to have always existed. It was composed on the same afternoon as "Ripple" and "To Lay Me Down," with the aid of a half bottle of retsina.
Its first performance was on August 18, 1970, at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, and became a staple of the live repertoire. After the 1974 hiatus, "Brokedown Palace" appeared almost exclusively as the closing song of the show, as an encore. It had the effect of sending us out of the show on a gentle pillow of sound, the band bidding us "Fare you well, fare you well…"
The story the song may be telling for any one of us is wide open. Hunter doesn't give us much. The song can be a song to someone departed from life, or just from the relationship with the singer. Or maybe the singer is departing, and possibly departing this life, or possibly departing a relationship. Some have suggested it is a song about reincarnation, and the journey through existences ("…many worlds I've come since I first left home"). So, regardless, the song appeals to us repeatedly throughout changing life circumstances and, in different contexts, rings true over and over again. (I've harped on this idea of hearing a lyric differently at different points in our lives repeatedly over the course of my dead.net posts, but it's kind of a major theme, I think. Let me know if I should stop pointing this out….)
For me, the "many worlds" line always spoke to experiences I had inside the many worlds to be found in the human brain, when we can unlock those experiences. Enough said about that, although I suspect several of you may wish to share stories about your own "many worlds."
In The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics, I quote from a note I received from a reader, recounting hearing Ken Kesey speak at the University of Virginia in 1998. I just spent a little time tracking down a transcript of that talk, and here's the part about "Brokedown Palace":
I lost my son in a wrestling accident. On the way to a wrestling meet, the van went off a cliff. I remember the feeling….I'll get back to that… ok I'll tell it….You know, if anybody knows the song "Broke Down Palace," (fair thee well, fair thee well, I love you more than words can tell), after Jed had been dead a few months we went to see the Dead. They were playing at our opera house. They did their usual stuff and got their big ovations and then, they started playing "Broke Down Palace" and they all turned toward me and all our family was sitting up there. They all turned toward us and the guys in the audience began to turn toward us. And that song was sent from the Grateful Dead to our bruised hearts. And it was like having somebody reach out and putting their hand on your shoulder and saying, "Yeah we feel it." And when it was over there was no applause. Everybody knew it. We were all crying. And how many bands do you know that could do that? Like when Eric Clapton begins to sing "Tears in Heaven," this is real. This isn't rock and roll. This is the heart speaking out to other people whose hearts have been wounded. And there are a bunch of us.
While the song does stand alone extremely well, it also inhabits a particular place on the American Beauty album, rising out of "Ripple," and leading into "Till the Morning Comes." It echoes bits and pieces of "Box of Rain" ("such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be there") and lends emotional background and depth to "Operator." Even "Truckin'" resonates with "Brokedown Palace"—"Back home, sit down and patch my bones…" The entire suite of songs holds together incredibly well, and I believe that "Brokedown Palace" is the glue.
The act of planting a weeping willow, of doing something that won't be fully realized, or grown, in any immediate sense, is a key to the song. While there are plants in other songs on the album (last week I counted eight in "Sugar Magnolia" alone, including a willow), this is the one where the singer plants the tree. Stays. Makes a home—another recurring theme throughout the album. The singer is going to plant a tree by the water's edge and thereby see continuity and change in one view—the tree standing in one place, "the river roll, roll, roll." Of course, the tree will "grow, grow, grow," so it's not truly standing still, not static, but it is, at least, stable.
Ready to hear your stories of how this song has resonated for you, what comfort you may have taken from it, or anything else that you might care to relate about "Brokedown Palace."
This is such a beautiful song. For me, right now, it's got such a warm place in my heart. I'm a college educated army veteran. I'm also a recovering addict. In active adiction, my only "true love" was the drugs. Keep in mind I used for more than half my life. Drugs, heroin was what brought me to "my hands and my knees"....So when I found the program of Narcotics Anonymous, I was able to leave my "brokedown palace". My river is the group of fellow addicts singing sweet songs that truly do rock my soul....I've planted my weeping willow as well, by staying around, and making a change to this new way of life, right beside my "river"....many many world's I've come trying anything and everything I could to stop using, and NA is the only answer I've found, and it's now my home. I can see how this song can mean different things depending on interpretations and metaphors used, but for me, this song is about finally making a change and finding your way, your home. Thank you, and I love each and everyone of you!
it sounds like you belonged there just fine.
On our way from Minnesota to California my dear friend Melissa and I stumbled into Red Rocks in 1982 - too new to the scene to know this was RED ROCKS and that all 3 nights were sold out. Still we waited in the rain and actually made our way through the school and the cemetery and the searchlights and the parking lot and got to hear a few songs the first night. We thought we were so cool! We could tell our friends we got close enough to hear the band!
The second night we found tickets and went to the show. The first set closed with Might As Well. We looked at each other and realized that indeed we had "never had such a good time, in our life before". Maybe we didn't belong there, but there we were.
I have a silk screen print of the 1982 Red Rocks shirt in archival framing on my wall - as if I needed a reminder of that oh so special night.
I nagged my local record store in 1981 to get me the single Promised Land by Elvis - the one I had heard on the local country station. After 6 months he finally came through. in 1982 at my first Greek show the Dead played Promised Land. Well of course they did....

This song got me through the deaths of my best friend, my mother, and my sister. It's been 9 years. Then I heard Phil speak at Further, All Good 2013. He told everyone to look to the person next to you that you love. I put my arm around my 21 year old niece. He asked that everyone consider organ donation because a fine young man gave him a liver and he was grateful to be alive and singing on stage for us then. I was grateful too. It was beautiful tribute.
Escaping the town of noise where I work I travel to my small piece of land on the Gila River and always take relief with the sound of the water in gentle rapids. Also the bird songs of morning and evening as the sounds of joy. Have planted hundreds of red willow cuttings for stream bank restoration and stabilization and many times remembered "Brokedown Palace". Goin Home Goin Home. Also an interesting juxtaposition from this song is from Workingmans Dead. Easy Wind- "And the river keeps a talkin but you never heard a word she says." Thank you Pigpen. I also see the word palace as interchangeable with the word temple as an allegory of the ageing human body moving towards the great beyond. Going to leave to brokedown palace. Make myself a bed by the waterside. The river of life always flowing and recharging. The banks green edge as a place of healing and reflection and preparation for the next stage. Neal Cassady didn't die, he just stole another body. American Beauty is a masterpiece for the ages. Jerry's use of pedal steel guitar on Brokedown Palace is poignant. Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul.
Thanks to all for the thoughts on this song. Each week, because of the opportunity to write this blog, I have the gift not only of being able to spend some time thinking in depth about a song, but then the additional and amazing gift of hearing the thoughts of everyone who takes the time to comment on the post. So it's an exponentially enriching experience. I will be very interested, when and if I get through to the end of this project, to then go back and re-read, and then rewrite and rethink yet again. Thanks, everyone, for the ongoing conversation!
