Skip to comments.Bush without Card
Posted on 11/19/2005 3:07:51 AM PST by paudio
WASHINGTON -- The absence by Chief of Staff Andrew Card from President Bush's Latin America and Asia trips has increased speculation about a possible reconstruction of the White House staff.
Presidential aides said Card was left behind to handle the crush of congressional business during Bush's absence. However, the chief of staff almost always accompanies the president on foreign travels.
A footnote: Al Hubbard, director of the National Economic Council, is being given a wide variety of domestic assignments beyond economics and is speculated on as Card's possible successor.
The District of Columbia cell of the Communist Party USA has been revealed as holding a monthly luncheon in the cafeteria of the National Education Association (NEA), without the sponsorship but not with the disapproval of the huge, politically powerful schoolteachers union.
The Communist meetings were reported by Chris Peterson in the Washington City Paper edition of Nov. 11-17. A lawyer attending the September meeting bolted from the cafeteria when he learned a reporter was present.
"We had no knowledge of this," NEA spokeswoman Denise Cardinal told this column, "because the NEA does not screen the patrons of our cafeteria or listen in on conversations. It's open to the public."

Bush's slide in the polls has to do more with skewed polls than a divided base.
I thought Bush kept his Cards close to his vest.
The American Thinker February 3, 2004 | Thomas Lifson
One final note on George W. Bushs management style and his Harvard Business School background does not derive from the classroom, per se. One feature of life there is that a subculture of poker players exists. Poker is a natural fit with the inclinations, talents, and skills of many future entrepreneurs. A close reading of the odds, combined with the ability to out-psych the opposition, leads to capital accumulation in many fields, aside from the poker table.
By reputation, the President was a very avid and skillful poker player when he was an MBA student. One of the secrets of a successful poker player is to encourage your opponent to bet a lot of chips on a losing hand. This is a pattern of behavior one sees repeatedly in George W. Bushs political career. He is not one to loudly proclaim his strengths at the beginning of a campaign. Instead, he bides his time, does not respond forcefully, at least at first, to critiques from his enemies, no matter how loud and annoying they get. If anything, this apparent passivity only goads them into making their case more emphatically.
The District of Columbia cell of the Communist Party USA has been revealed as holding a monthly luncheon in the cafeteria of the National Education Association (NEA), without the sponsorship but not with the disapproval of the huge, politically powerful schoolteachers union.
The Communist meetings were reported by Chris Peterson in the Washington City Paper edition of Nov. 11-17. A lawyer (ACLU?) attending the September meeting bolted from the cafeteria when he learned a reporter was present.
Just discussing the PROGRESS of the NEA programs:
Some of these 45 goals being achieved are:
Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press
Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history
Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
Check out my HOMEPAGE
" If anything, this apparent passivity only goads them into making their case more emphatically."There are times when I feel the president has become the national pinata 24/7. At when point does he bury someone that is just plain wrong.Turning the other cheek in a time of war is plain scary.
I don't think that Card's leaving (if true) has anything to do with Miers, either. He just hasn't been very effective in general, however, and perhaps everybody is beginning to acknowledge this. We shall see.
Even though I supported Miers (the president, actually), I do think the above is correct. This particular strategery backfired within the base, so in retrospect it wasn't a good political move.
The case on Alito is still out. I'm nervous about him, but gained a little more confidence over the "abortion isn't in the constitution" revelation that came out last week.
I hear you. I have no clue why he is acting so weak.
But, remember ........ he was this sly, great card player and strategist BEFORE he was "born again".
Maybe you lose a little of that ability when you make the "change".
Yep. Skewed polls and gas prices, which are falling BTW.
When the right was eating its own over the Miers nomination the left saw opportunity. And so the left stepped up to the plate and started swinging. And there was deafening silence from the administration.
The Chevron nearby's dropped 10 cents in the last week, totaling about 40 or 50 cents over the past month or two. Not bad at all.
It may be a sign that Card is the person who talked to Woodward.
That sounds good. And maybe it is true.
But the stakes here are far too high to being playing poker over.
Interesting. Maybe more than Woodward.
If this is true, this is more good news. The Republicans are definitely showing some backbone lately, and Bush and Cheney are both sounding great. Canning Card (and hopefully McMilktoast next) would be definitely more good news.
"I have no clue why he is acting so weak."Sometimes you act weak just before you unload on someone.Throwing them off,in football misdirection play.
Let the "cards" fall where there be. I think Card is a good guy, but sometimes it's time for a change.
Time for THE GREAT ONE, Mark Levin.
Titter, titter, titter, gossip, gossip gossip
I hope so.
I think the fact that there were WMD's is going to come out IN THE OLD MEDIA soon.
I was recently looking for this doc- thanks for posting it again.
I actually do think Card may have been damaged by the Miers mess...new blood is not a bad idea- but I'd begin with the communications group- and the kind, but ineffective Scott McLellan.
W.'s words have been "deconclusified". (Compliments to another FReeper) "
WMD Tariq Aziz knows all.
If this were written by a real reporter I'd put more stock in it.
In the above nowhere did I say the left was involved with sinking Miers. I said the "right was eating its own over Miers". I would of thought that was pretty clear.
By "opportunity" I was saying the left saw Bush in a weakened state.
And so the left stepped up to the plate and started swinging.
That "started swinging" was referring to attacking Bush over the war, not Miers. With the Libby indictement they had multiple fronts to attack from. They had something to stick the dishonest tag too now besides just the WMD.
There were numerous Editorials from the right saying Bush's presidency was basically over because of Miers. The left was listening.
You add it all up and here we are.
Could be. MSM reports the polls as if Bush is losing the support of moderates, but actually I think at least in the Miers case (and also on illegal immigration and government spending issues), Bush lost/has lost the support of the very conservative wing of the GOP.
***If anything, this apparent passivity only goads them into making their case more emphatically.***
Just what some of us have been thinking about the President's slow response to the traitors in the democrat party. He and Rove make a great pair of poker players. Thanks for that article.
I felt Bush's first team during his initial term in office was definitely the "A" team from Ari to John Ashcroft...The absence of these guys for lesser men is very disappointing. I'd like to see a solid speech man (or woman) at the microphone. Personally, Bush could have guest press speakers for about a month (1 guest a week starting with Rush Limbaugh, then Shaun Hannity, then Ann Coulter and finally, Hugh Hewitt)...Can you imagine after a month how whipped the press morons would be following daily interchanges with that team? HA - I'd pay money to see that!Then I'd put General Honore in charge of permanent press secretary duties!
I suspect McClellan will join his Mother in Texas for her run at Governor.Which party?
The base would have been fired up with Alito anytime, anyway.
From a White House perspective the Miers nomination made Bush look weak;
(1)she was a weak candidate in terms of background,
(2)not supported by his base
(3)no big objections from too many Dims
(a) her nomination initially looked like he was responding to Dim demands that he not name someone "controversial",
(b)then it simply looked like a weak nominee,
(c)and then pulling her out was sold by the Dims as "caving in to the radical right".
Altogether, it was a flawed and bound to fail nomination and it helped depress the public's belief that he was doing a good job.
If anyone has been wondering where Bush's "liberal" positions might originate, they need look no further than Andrew Card - associate of Sununu, backers of Souter.
maybe Card will be leaving early to prepare for a run for Teddy Kennedy's senate seat.
I Only Wish...
I never saw one set of "internals" from these anti-Bush polls that were performed objectively.
These polls are just so much toilet paper.
This country is in trouble when the media is so horribly biased.
The old established/liberal/socialist media is America's most ruthless, relentless, and destructive enemy.
Yeah, get Tommy Franks and Russell Honore in there.........maybe they can stop the bleeding on W's coddling and political correctness in this war. To hell with what the world thinks, to hell with what the left thinks, to hell with what the MSM thinks........let's show the muscle we have over there in that hell hole and get the job done once and for all......at all costs! Santa? Are you listening? *~*
I've always thought Card was the lose link in the administraton.... I've just never trusted him for some reason I can't really pin down.
I said that on another thread last night; many people are adamant I'm wrong and it was Powell or Armitage, but my intuition tells me it was Card.

Will Brunson
Click for larger image
Duke is the early leader for QB Will Brunson of Carolina Forest. He is hearing from USC, Clemson, Duke, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia Tech, East Carolina and North Carolina. Duke, however, appears to be courting Brunson the hardest. "I guess I would have to say Duke (is my leader) since they've shown the most interest," he said. "I think David Cutcliffe does a great job with quarterbacks and it's a great atmosphere. I love the campus." Brunson has visited several schools including USC and Clemson and was in Columbia for the Kentucky game. "It was awesome," Brunson said. "Great atmosphere...we spent the day up there. I went with my coach and teammate, Xavier Jones." He plans to attend the Tennessee-Vanderbilt game as well as UNC-Duke before the season ends. Through seven games Brunson has thrown for 2,061 yards and 21 touchdowns this season. Though Duke is his early leader, he says "It's still up for grabs."Tweet

Hi! The theme option panel has stopped working. I can see the icons on the left side, but the customization functions are not available (page is plain grey).
Before this happened, the editing on the website went unstable(e.g. words from the lower footer pushed up to the heading, buttons on tagline and boxes changed in color...).
I'm a newbie - not sure what to do / where to put my hands. Even came up with the brilliant idea of uninstalling wp and re-installing it again... but I think I made things worse.
Thank you for your help!

First thing this morning I go to my blog and notice these errors appearing several times at the top of several posts on my blog:
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution in /home/account/public_html/sitefolder/blog/wp-includes/class-snoopy.php on line 1142
It doesn't appear on every post though and I don't know why this suddenly just started happening. I haven't changed anything. I saw some mentions of it elsewhere on this forum and it was apparently attributed to Twitter Tools. So I have disabled that plug but there is not change, the errors still appear.
It's also revealing the structure of my folders so that anyone can look inside blog/wp-includes which I am not really happy about either. I suppose there is a way of blocking http access to this folder via my .htaccess file but that's a minor detail. I'd rather not have the error occur in the first place.
I;ve started disabling other plugins but nothing seems to stop the error from occurring and I don't see how this can all happen over night while I am asleep without any changes being made by me.
Have I been hacked into?

Seeker of Faith, Painter of Light
Seeker of Faith, Painter of Light
In Memoriam: A Guideposts classic story by artist Thomas Kinkade, who died on Good Friday 2012.
One afternoon, early in my career, I attended a showing of my work in a small gallery in northern California.
Among the people who stopped by to see my paintings, there was a man who wandered in off the street, saw the brightly lit artwork (as well as the complimentary hors d'oeuvres!) and decided to stroll around the show. After making his rounds, he pulled up beside me.
"So," he said, "why does this Kinkade guy have all the lights on in his paintings?"
"I couldn't tell you," I confessed.
"Well, if you see him," said the man, "ask him for me."
In a sense, I have spent my career trying to answer that question.
When I was a child, I would come home after school and our house would often stand empty, dark and cold. I'd hope, as I approached, that the lights would come on suddenly—that someone would swing open the door and wave and smile as I quickened my step.
I could hope, but I knew that no one would be home. My father had left us when I was little, so my mother worked late as a secretary to support the family. My brother and sisters frequently got home from school after I did.
I would scuff my heels along the sidewalks beside shadowy hedges and sycamore trees. I would stop and study a bird's nest or some wildflowers or perhaps the way wood smoke curled out of chimneys on cool days, but mostly I'd look at all the other houses I passed, the lights on in their windows, the brightness so inviting I wanted to dash up and ring the bell and wait to be offered some cookies and warm cinnamon milk.
When I finally reached my house, I was hesitant to open the door and go in. It was more than just being afraid of the dark. The lights within other houses on our street filled me with longing. I wished the whole world could be lit up like those houses. Even as a latchkey kid, I was a bit of a romantic.
By no means would I describe my childhood as a miserable one. Nothing could be further from the truth: In the foothills of the California Sierras, in the small town of Placerville, we Kinkade children—I, my older sisters and younger brother—enjoyed a blessed upbringing.
My brother and I made a tree house in our backyard and rolled go-carts down our drive. We would attend services at a country church down the lane from our house, the Kinkade clan taking up the length of a pew.
I would sit mesmerized not by the voice from the pulpit, but by the blue glass windows overhead and flickering yellow lights of the candles at the altar.
The Placerville of 35 years ago was an innocent place and time, the kind of town where we could ride our bikes to Main Street for a haircut and a bag of dime-store popcorn without our mother worrying, where a boy could deliver the local paper to the door of a pretty girl who would one day become his wife.
And it was a place where a boy could have his dream of becoming a painter nourished, his ever-supportive mother framing his drawings on the living room wall, right next to inexpensive prints by his heroes, Norman Rockwell and Rembrandt.
After high school, I took all my romantic aspirations and small-town innocence with me to the University of California at Berkeley. I wanted to become an artist of the people, a communicator with paint, the next Norman Rockwell.
I had a desire to touch people's lives with my paintings, and I believed that if I could be true to myself, if I could express my feelings and paint from my heart, my work would speak to people. Why else would I want to paint but to share the joy and light I felt inside with others?

Her staff is atrocious. And Dr Narula herself seems to be in too much of a rush to really care what you are feeling or want to know. Her nurse practitioner is much more kind and patient. Unfortunately the NP can't do all procedures. I've also found that Dr Narula expects you to stock her medicine cabinet when she asks you to purchase excessive amounts of specifically for me, depo provera. She asked me to purchase 10 shots at a time when 4 is a year supply.
In one word she doesn't know how to deal with patients.So rude,doesn't spend time at all with patient,she does not even try to understnd the problem.You can see her smiling only in the above pic.i strongly reccomend not to visit her.
I have been a patient of Dr. Narula for about 15 years. Her practice is well run and efficient, while being aware of patient confidentiality. Her PA, Leslie, is every bit as good as Dr Narula. All the nurses and staff are kind and easy to talk to. Dr. Narula is also a very good surgeon and performed my hysterectomy several years ago. I really like the fact that they take the time to make sure I am having regular Mammograms (which I hate doing) and will keep calling to remind me!! I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a great OB-GYN. :-)

Hey Josh - did you find out about that one in the latest issue of Wired? I noticed it there and was sort of surprised I'd never heard of it either. Good for Seattle - it's always embarrassing when we don't make the lists we should.
Stress, Aging and the Effects on our Body: is Caregiving Hazardous to Your Health?
If Prof Vitaliano has to cancel for some reason, I could give this lecture.
Oh goodie, I need another excuse to go out for a brew or three.
Had to dig through the site to verify that alcohol was served. (the first page refers to "refilling coffee")
Very nice, I saw kip thorn a few years back, and booze helps the science go down.
Yeah, I've been to this a couple of times. They do it in the pub (which is downstairs from the bookstore proper) so of course there is alcohol. They might have larger events (when a popular author is in town, or something) upstairs, but the ones I attended were in the bar.
They're not as entertaining as you might think (science types don't drink the way politicos do, and I suspect that -- again, unlike political types -- alcohol makes them quieter). But if it's a subject that interests you, the give-and-take can be fascinating, particularly since there are often experts from the UW or industry sitting around and they're more willing to speculate "beyond the science" with a drink in hand.
Thanks for the details.
Yes. Saw it in Wired.

When the Transmission Is the Star
High-tech Lancer Ralliart gives Mitsubishi fans an 'Evolution' on the cheap
Our world is full of gratuitous choices, from Starbucks's endless latte menus to individual cellphone ringtones for each of our friends. So it's refreshing to make a real weighty decision every now and again -- like slipping into the 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart and toggling between tarmac, gravel and snow.
If you're scratching your head here, understand that to a certain population of the car-addicted, this is a heck of a lot more exciting than a latte doctored with caramel syrup. Those are the three settings for this compact all-wheel-drive sport sedan's trick center differential, the computerized controller that decides which end of the car will receive the majority of the engine's power. But true gearheads will move on from the techie appeal of that gadget to the real show: the Ralliart's transmission.
For those not in the know, the Lancer model range can truly be confusing. At the bottom end is the base model, a $15,035 front-wheel-drive economy car that was redesigned for the 2008 model year. It's surprisingly fun and a decent value, but this is not the one that any of the aficionados gives a whit about. The real deal is the $38,985 Evolution MR, the top-of-the-heap, would-be rally racing car, beefed-up and powered by a turbocharged two-liter four-cylinder engine making 291 horsepower. The Ralliart sits at the median, boasting all-wheel drive, a reduced-output version of the turbo two-liter (rated at 237 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque), and a variation on the MR's twin-clutch automatic manual transmission, all for just $27,185.
It's this last bit of equipment that has made me truly enthralled with the Lancer Ralliart. There's no need for a clutch pedal, as a computer handles the shifting details, modulating the clutches and synchronizing engine speed, and can do so nearly as smoothly as a conventional automatic. From the magnesium-alloy shift paddles on the sides of the steering wheel to the hard-core sport mode -- which prevents use of cruise control and holds gears even as the engine redlines -- this is glorious technology. Flip the paddles and shifts are nearly instantaneous, trumping the "Formula One-style" automatic manual transmissions popularized by Ferrari and BMW in not only speed, but smoothness.
Mitsubishi's twin-clutch has six forward gears and functions similarly to a conventional manual transmission, but with two concentric clutches it's able to engage the next gear at the same time it's disengaging the current one. The end result is a transmission fit for a race-car driver, but one that even grandma could handle. (Just don't order the optional and extremely supportive Recaro sport seats or grandma won't be able to wedge herself behind the wheel.)
Now I know the purists will complain. And well they should, as a world without good old five- (or six-) speed manual gearboxes is not one I want to live in either. But this is the transmission of the future for sports cars and the like, and it's the transmission I'd want in my next car. While the Lancer Ralliart may not be that car, it has to be a temptation for anyone shopping for something fun to drive in the under-$30,000 price range. There's little else that looks as aggressive and packs such potential for back-roads hooliganism.
That said, this version of the Lancer is not without its drawbacks.
Primary among them is that despite its resemblance to the Evolution, the Ralliart is not based on the body structure underpinning that more expensive model. Instead its foundation is the standard Lancer, a longer and narrower car with a shorter wheelbase -- qualities that emphatically do not improve handling. This also makes me wary, in that I'd always rather own the cheapest version of an expensive car than the most expensive version of a cheap car. Note also that the Ralliart carries a three-year/36,000-mile warranty like the Evolution, rather than the five-year/60,000-miles of the standard Lancer.
While the Ralliart interior has received a few upgrades over the base Lancer, it's not going to fool anyone into thinking you laid out a ton of cash for the car. Then there's the fuel economy, which at 20 miles per gallon combined according to the EPA (I managed just 19) is lousy, and only one mile per gallon higher than the Evolution. With the Ralliart being positioned as a more everyday-driver-friendly car, it would have been nice to see a better mileage number.
Even so, credit is due to Mitsubishi, a company whose presence in the U.S. has been on the wane. This clever mixing and matching of parts to create a new Lancer variant manages to hit what is perhaps the sweetest spot on the graph of performance versus price of any Mitsubishi. And yes, it offers consumers yet another choice for turbocharged, all-wheel-drive fun.

My definition of a leader . . . is a man who can persuade people to do what they don't want to do, or do what they're too lazy to do, and like it.

A leader has to lead otherwise he has no business in politics.

Men make history, and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.

No one who has not had the responsibility can really understand what it is like to be President, not even his closest aides or members of his immediate family. There is no end to the chain of responsibility that binds him, and he is never allowed to forget that he is President.

About this cartoon
On February 18, 2009, the Post ran this cartoon which depicts a white police officer saying to another white police officer who has just shot a chimpanzee on the street: "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill." Although referring to the infinite monkey theorem and the recent rampage of Travis, a former chimpanzee actor, the cartoon was criticized as in bad taste and as making a reference to the racist stereotype of African-Americans being portrayed as non-human apes.The cartoon has been interpreted by some to compare President Barack Obama to a violent chimpanzee who promoted a stimulus bill that was unpopular with many Republicans. Civil Rights activist Al Sharpton called the cartoon "troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys." The Post has defended itself by stating that the cartoon was misinterpreted by its critics. It should be noted that Barack Obama was not the author of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Wikipedia).
About political cartoons
The political cartoon first appeared in 16th-century Germany during the Reformation, the first time such art became an active propaganda weapon with social implications. While many of these cartoons were crudely executed and remarkably vulgar, some, such as Holbein's German Hercules, were excellent drawings produced by the best artists of the time. In 18th-century England the cartoon became an integral and effective part of journalism through the works of Hogarth, Rowlandson, and Gillray, who often used caricature. Daumier, in France, became well known for his virulent satirical cartoons. (infoplease)
By the mid-19th cent. editorial cartoons had become regular features in American newspapers, and were soon followed by sports cartoons and humorous cartoons. The effect of political cartoons on public opinion was amply demonstrated in the elections of 1871 and 1873, when the power of Tammany Hall was broken and Boss Tweed imprisoned largely through the efforts of Thomas Nast and his cartoons for Harper's Weekly. (infoplease)
Political cartoons convey some "truth" through a message, demonstrating a mood around the social or political situation that inspired the cartoon (Press, 62). Yet some critics argue that "cartoons do not change minds, but at best precipitate thought and dialogue" (Fischer, 14). "It is likely that those cartoons most effective as propaganda have tended not to confront and to challenge but rather to reinforce and build on prior beliefs, values, and prejudices" (Fischer, 15). Just as political cartoons are well-received if they support preexisting values, they are well-received if they utilize preexisting symbolism to convey their point. Viewers who glance at political cartoons are provided, in about ten seconds, with a political opinion that may or may not be attractive to them. To make political cartoons immediately effective, cartoonists rely on symbolism with which the public is familiar. (infoplease)
Who created this cartoon?
This cartoon was created by Sean Delonas. He is an award winning painter and illustrator whose work has appeared in newspapers, magazines, television and Broadway. He is best known for his cartoons that appear daily on page six of the New York Post. He also painted the Altar Painting for the Church of St. Agnes in New York (Delonas).
What values, lifestyles and points of view are represented in or omitted from this message?
The overriding theme of this political cartoon is reflective of the current Republican mindset. It represents a message critical of the President's stimulus package, implying that it was created by a monkey. While it would be presumptuous to ascribe this point of view of to all Republicans, it is most definitely a strongly held belief among the minority party.
After suffering vast losses in the previous election, members of the GOP have become unified in their opposition to President Obama's agenda. This comic concludes the Presidents bill is poorly constructed and average Americans, in the form of the police officers, share this opinion.
It would be unfair, however, to assign any political ideology to the author on the basis one comic representation. Despite the inability to accurately pinpoint such an affiliation, there are other distinct themes present.
The tragedy the comic satirizes was both recent and horrific. The author's use of this tragedy as a vehicle for entertainment and political discourse is indicative of an overall insensitivity for the severe nature of the attack. In addition, the author was seemingly unprepared for the resulting backlash giving the distinct impression that he is out of touch with the beliefs and values of the average recipient.
The message that has elicited the strongest response, the comparison of the President to a monkey, raises a number of possible issues. The author was either unaware that such a message existed, was purposely trying to create a scandal or he simply did not care. According to the NYpost's public apology no racist message was intended, "It was meant to mock an ineptly written federal stimulus bill. Period."
Whether or not this controversy is the cause of a, "thinly veiled expression of racism," or merely a byproduct of ignorance is up to the individual. The author is either incompetent at his job or racist, neither of which are particularly flattering.
Why the issue is being overblown
When considering this particular cartoon, we have to remember one thing: it is a cartoon. A cartoon, as defined by Dictionary.com, is a sketch or drawing, usually humorous, as in a newspaper or periodical, symbolizing, satirizing, or caricaturing some action, subject, or person of popular interest. Traditional cartoons are meant to entertain, while political cartoons created in order to incite thought on a particular topic from a different medium.
This cartoon was not meant to imply that President Obama is a monkey, a racial slur used to describe African Americans. Sam Stein, a columnist for the Huffington Post web site, wrote that, "at its most benign, the cartoon suggests that the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it."
It seems that even though people cannot agree as to the point of this cartoon, we can all agree it toed a very fine line between racism and simple mockery of a job. The issue, however, is being completely overblown. The author of this comic, Sean Delonas, might have simply been trying to create a stir in the public eye. His job is to create a message that people notice and talk about, and as evidenced by the immense amount of backlash that has occurred, he did his job superbly .
What creative techniques are used to attract my attention?
The monkey with two bullet holes is definitely meant to draw your attention, as that is where most readers eyes will go first. The tongue hanging out the side of his mouth is a timeless symbol of death, if not intended to be humorous. The police officer to the left has his eye opened much wider than his counterpart. This is used to draw your attention to him because he is the one who is speaking the quote. The smoke rising form the barrel of their gun indicates that it has just been fired and adds to the immediacy of the piece.
How might other people understand the message differently than me?
Because of my social, cultural, and ethnic background and experiences, some will interpret the message of this cartoon different from me. For example, I may not interpret this cartoon the same as a White, Asian, or Latino person simply because of our different life experiences. However, regardless of ethnicity, there are some who will indeed interpret it the same. Not only is this true for interpretation but for intention as well. For instance, some people find this cartoon to be humorous while others find it to be highly offensive and in bad taste.
According to Sandra Moriarty, a professor in the Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) graduate program in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Colorado-Boulder, any discussion of visual communication automatically involves some discussion of perception, cognition and the way they relate. She states that in a recent survey of the foundation disciplines used by visual communication scholars, psychology, particularly perception and cognition, was identified as the most important areas of study.
In her essay, "Abduction and A Theory of Visual Interpretation," Moriarty focuses on three major areas in which one interprets things. These areas are identified as perception, cognition, and convention. She states that at the most basic level, the meaning of a sign is internalized by the process of perception--the intersection of our senses with reality-based data as information from the perceived world is "registered." Two important factors are personal observation and individual experience. She states that because perception is active, the individual selects the information and modifies it depending upon the individual's previous experiences. It takes repeated observations for us to make sense of the patterns around us and that is where perception interacts with cognition through the processes of recognition, organization, and discrimination. In other words, visual interpretation involves both the eyes and the brain: what we understand is moderated by what we know or have experienced in the past and how we have made sense of these experiences and recorded them in memory. As for convention, she states that meaning can be internalized as is much of what we learn through visual processing of reality-based information, but it can also be socially or culturally driven which creates an externalized dimension in interpretation. In other words, much of what we know that is language or code based including most visual symbols, is derived from social learning.
While taking Moriarty's theory of visual interpretation as a focal point of why other people may understand this message differently than me, I find it appropriate and necessary to share a few recent experiences of African Americans in which they have been identified as being a "monkey," and more specifically aimed at the first African-American president, Barack Obama.
Frank Niemeir/AJCwww.ajc.com
It is incidents like these these that are embedded into the minds and memories of African-Americans that are recalled when similar incidents occur, thus, causing some people to perceive things differently that others in particular instances.
Why is "a picture worth a thousand words"?
A picture is worth a thousand words because it shows rather than tells, and it can relay the same message without the rhetoric. Although the above cartoon has a mere twelve words, it speaks volumes. According to Wikipedia, this phrase refers to the idea that complex stories can be described with just a single still image, or that an image may be more influential than a substantial amount of text. It also aptly characterizes the goals of visualization where large amounts of data must be absorbed quickly.
What is the effect of joining a particular image with particular words?
In this cartoon, there is an image of police officers shooting and killing a monkey, which one could easily relate to the incident that occurred regarding the recent rampage of Travis, a former chimpanzee actor. However, adding the words "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill" drastically changes the way in which one may interpret its meaning. The words reveal to the reader who the monkey supposedly represents. The words in this case are as equally powerful as the image when they are portrayed together. If this particular cartoon did not have words accompanying it, I'm sure it would not be interpreted as an attack on President Obama, who is of African-American descent. Thus, the effect of joining a particular image with particular words, is that the image is given more meaning and helps to strengthen the meaning or message in which the author is trying to convey.
Why is this message being sent?
Political comments, in illustrative form, are published daily in newspapers across the nation for a variety of reasons. They've been a staple of American political discourse. According to Paul Parker, a professor of Political Science at Truman State University, political cartoons are a unique creation--pictorial editorial and artistic social commentary. The medium of the political cartoon, which combines the political and the artistic with journalism, provides interested persons the chance to express their social concerns or political views creatively. It allows them to make social commentary beyond the boundaries of the written word. Most political cartoons are "designed to influence viewers with regard to specific political events of the day."

Mehta Leaves China Construction Bank to Start Investment Fund
Mickey Mehta, the assistant general manager and head of corporate banking and structured finance at China Construction Bank Corp.'s Hong Kong unit, said he has left the lender to start a private equity firm.
Mehta, who was also a managing director of China Construction Bank International Finance Ltd., the bank's funding arm, said he is no longer working at the lender when contacted on his mobile phone in Hong Kong today.
Willa Wong, head of corporate communications in Hong Kong for China Construction Bank (Asia), said media inquiries for the Hong Kong unit are handled by Ketchum Inc., a global public relations firm with offices in the city.
Two telephone calls and an e-mail to Angela Hui, at Ketchum in Hong Kong, requesting comment on Mehta's departure weren't immediately returned.
Mehta said he planned to visit the U.S. before returning to Hong Kong to establish a private equity firm which he expects to open in April. One of the firm's funds, to be called CCB Topgun Fund 1, will invest in media, real estate and telecommunications assets, he said.
About $25 million has been raised from private investors and Mehta said he's seeking a further $75 million. He declined to reveal the private equity firm's name, as that hasn't yet been determined.

Hi I´m building a webpage for my team. But i want to include the standings from this page into my sidebar. Is that possible?
Standings? Like team stats? You could put them into a text widget, then put that widget into your sidebar.
Good question. Depends how your are putting the data into your posts. Are you using a plugin, or html tables, or just listing it.
If your not using a plugin you would need to create some html code to display what you are wanting, and drop that into a text widget.
If you are using a plugin, maybe it has a php call or widget with it.

Police capture man after car, foot chase
Police capture man after car, foot chase
WESTERLY — A police pursuit that began around 1:51 p.m. Monday from Watch Hill Road to Shore Road into Dunn's Corners to Nina Drive near McGowan Corners in Bradford ended when the fleeing suspect bailed out of his moving car, which careened into a police cruiser, and took off on foot. The suspect was quickly captured by Westerly Police Department officers, according to Chief Edward St. Clair.
No one was injured in the chase and subsequent capture.
According to St. Clair, Leonard D. Harrington, 43, of Greenman Road, Westerly, was suspected of driving with a suspended license and possibly of driving under the influence.
According to police, he was "driving all over the road" when officers attempted to stop him on Watch Hill Road.
Harrington took off, St. Clair said, traveling up Shore Road to Crandall Avenue and ultimately, "did a doughnut in a yard and bailed" out of the car near Nina Drive off Route 91.
Police were able to capture Harrington after what St. Clair said was a "30-second chase."
Harrington, who has a lengthy record and criminal history, was charged with reckless driving, eluding officers and driving with a suspended license.
The police cruiser sustained only minor damage, St. Clair said. Harrington was being processed and held at the Westerly police jail cell on Airport Road.

I used CPU-Z to check my RAM, but I noticed a rather peculiar thing: the DRAM frequency changes from 401.0 to 400.9 in around 1 second intervals.
Is that a sign of some problem, or is it just normal?
Why is ask: I have had problems with booting up the computer with more than 1GB ram before. I'm not sure why, but I think the RAM's are incompatible with my motherboard. Or my PSU is just weak (Corsair HX 520W, and I dont have a GFX card or anything that would take much power).
Here is screenshot from the program:
Is there anything wrong? My RAM should be 800Mhz, but it only runs with 400Mhz for some reason, thats why I thought it is incompatible and which why the frequency changes frequently.

Hello Aleksandra,
I was just curious for a way to change the tool tips for each of the Social Media icons? For example:
Subscribe to my YouTube Channel
Follow me on Twitter
Add our Google+ to your circles
I tried fiddling with the options.php and the custom_functions.php but nothing seemed to work. If you could show me maybe an IF statement or something for one of them, I could figure out the rest.....I hope!
Thanks for the WONDERFUL theme!!! :-)

Easy Barbecue Pork Marinade
Total Time
24hrs 5mins
Prep 5 mins
Cook 24 hrs
This marinade came from my boyfriend and I couldn't believe how easy it was the first time I tried it! It gets better the longer it marinates so I usually make this when I'm going up north for the weekend, since I know it'll have an extra day to sit.
Ingredients Nutrition
- (Optional) Cut pork tenderloin into 3/4" thick medallions so they cook faster if you're making this recipe for camping or boating barbecues.
- Combine all three ingredients.
- Marinate pork minimum overnight or even a few days.
