On The Shelf (2.24.09) Final 'Futurama,' Lilley's 'Summer Heights High,' and rare Argento
Hey, everyone. While much of the online film world sits watching the Oscars on Sunday afternoon/evening, I'm going to throw on a fistful of kung-fu movies and work on this column instead. And I feel good about the choice. It's a diverse but weird week in DVD and BluRay, and there's a fair amount of ground to cover, so let's dive right in.
Is anyone else vaguely let down by the return of "Futurama"? I want to love it. I certainly loved the show during its run, and when I finally got it on DVD and watched it again, it just confirmed to me how smart and inventive the show really was. So why don't I love these direct-to-video films they've been putting out for the last year? Many of the same people are involved in the production, but it feels like something just didn't reconnect when they started back to work. I'm still enough of a fan that I'll give "Futurama: Into The Wild Green Yonder" on BluRay a chance, but I'll set my expectations lower.
On the other hand, if you haven't seen "Summer Heights High," and you're just now catching up to it on DVD, you can't really set your expectations too high. It's that smart. I reviewed the series over at Ain't It Cool when HBO began broadcasting it, and I think it's one of the best pick-ups they've made since "The Office." Chris Lilley is sort of the one-man army of the show, playing three main characters and also serving as the overall creative force. What could easily be a one-note gag or broad and silly actually serves as a blunt and honest comedy about the personalities that make up any school.
[more after the jump]
I find that more and more often, I just wait on TV shows and watch them in box-set form instead of while they're airing during the season. It's that trade paperback mentality of mine. I prefer things with a start and a finish, and so often, I'm unable to put that regular time in during the year to track various shows. I make the effort occasionally for something like "Lost" that I really love, but my Tivo is used more for South American telenovellas or episodes of "Yo Gabba Gabba" than anything else these days. As a result, when I pick up "Breaking Bad: The First Complete Season," I'm approaching the show as a total noob. I like Bryan Cranston a lot, though, and I've heard so many good things that I feel comfortable just making this a blind-buy. He plays a high-school chemistry teacher who learns he has a terminal illness, so he sets out earning enough money to leave behind for his family. Method? Cooking and selling crystal meth. It sounds like an even edgier riff on "Weeds," which I love dearly, although I doubt I'll find myself as profoundly turned on by Cranston each week as I am by Mary Louise Parker. Could happen... I'd just be surprised.
God, has it really been seven years since I interviewed Art Linson for the first time? Linson, if you don't know the name, is a producer behind films like "Into the Wild," "The Untouchables," "Fight Club," and "Fast Times At Ridgemont High," and he's also written several books about his life and career in Hollywood. One of those books was adapted into the film "What Just Happened?" which is coming out on DVD and BluRay this week. The film isn't as good as the book, particularly since much of what Linson wrote has to be fictionalized here, and I'm not sure how much of the film will even play for people who aren't involved in the film industry. This is verrrrrry inside baseball. But it has its moments, and I'm fascinated by the choices Robert De Niro makes these days. As someone said to Linson in the book version, "You wouldn't even have a career if you didn't have Robert De Niro's phone number." They've been connected for a lot of years, and having De Niro essentially play Linson here is worth a look just for the strange echoes it sets up.
I can't say I was shocked when Summit released "Sex Drive" to a largely indifferent audience last year, but I was sorry to see it happen. I think it's a difficult title for people to get past, but if they did, they saw a funny, sweet, profoundly raunchy little teen comedy that did what it did very, very well. Clark Duke gave a fantastic performance in the film, as did James Marsden, and I'll be picking up a copy of the unrated BluRay to see what material didn't make it to the theatrical version. I hope people give this one a chance on home video. I have a feeling it's one of those films where the audience will slowly find it as the various stars and behind-the-camera players all do other work, and it'll have a loooooooong shelf life.
Wow. Here's something I honestly never thought I'd get to cover on DVD, but someone has finally gotten the rights untangled and today, Mya/Ryko is releasing "Dario Argento's Four Flies On Grey Velvet," one of the rarest of his classic giallo efforts. I've only seen this one time, and it was late at night, after three other films, sitting in Quentin Tarantino's screening room. By that point, everything was a little hazy, so I look forward to actually owning the film and being able to digest it like I have with Argento's other films from that era. I honestly think that stretch of his career was the moment for him, when he was at his creative peak and when he was also given room to do whatever he wanted commercially. He's been one of those filmmakers who spent a lot of years in the wilderness for one reason or another, but all you have to do is look at a film like this one to understand why he's still held in such high regard by so many of us. The film tells the story of a musician who believes he's being stalked, until he finally corners the person responsible and, in a violent confrontation, kills him. When he is sent photographs of himself standing over the body, he realizes that he confronted the wrong person, and that his own personal hell is just getting started. It's not quite the home run that "Deep Red" or "The Bird With The Crystal Plumage" are, but it's well worth your time, and it can only enhance your appreciation of this criminally underrated genre master.
I know this is a YouTube video, which seems about as fitting a way to promote a BluRay release as showing a red-and-blue 3D commercial during the Super Bowl would be if you're releasing a RealD 3D film in theaters (not that anyone would be stupid enough to do that), but I'm doing it anyway...
That's the opening to the first episode of the original Japanese language version of "Samurai 7," an anime based on Akira Kurosawa's classic proto-action-epic, "The Seven Samurai." Today, there's a release of the entire series in one box-set on BluRay, and I think I'll take that as my excuse to finally watch it. I like the idea of an anime update of the classic film, particularly with them adding SF elements, because it's so removed from the original that you can't even really call it a remake. It's just another riff on the basic story shape, one that's been co-opted so many times and in so many ways that you can see its DNA in films as different as "The Three Amigos" or "A Bug's Life." It's a very simple archetypical set-up, and it allows for all sorts of great character development if done right. "Samurai 7" seems to have its fans, more for the writing and the character work than the animation, and I'll give almost anything a chance on BluRay at this point, so it looks like I've got some anime in my near-future.
I'm not sure I'm strong enough to revisit "Dear Zachary: A Letter To A Son About His Father," and I certainly can't imagine it being something I'd watch regularly. But it's a devastating movie, and one that you should see, and one that you should read very little about ahead of time. It's a documentary about a doctor named Andrew Bagby who was gunned down by a deranged woman he was involved with, and the impact that murder had on his family, his friends, and ultimately, his son. It's not a slick documentary, and there are things about the film that I find a little mawkish or obvious, but it's very personal, and the things that work about it are so undeniable that my other complaints don't matter. The film sparked a huge personal sense of outrage for me, towards an individual's actions and a system's failure, and I hope the story it tells actually has a lasting impact on Canadian law. Nothing is worth the sadness and suffering endured by the friends and family of Andrew Bagby, but at least if there are changes, it won't be completely in vain.
I'll take any excuse to watch a good martial arts film, and if Dragon Dynasty sends something, I can pretty much count on it being a good martial arts film. I haven't seen "Protege" yet, but I'm sure I will very soon. Actually, that's not fair... they don't just do martial arts films. Any Asian action film is up for grabs, and this Andy Lau film is more of an "Infernal Affairs" style story of a cop who spends the better part of a decade inside an organized crime ring, working his way up until he's just a heartbeat away from running the whole thing himself. Good premise, and Lau's the man. I'm going to watch this ASAP.
I know very little about "The Matador," but I keep seeing trailers for it in front of other releases from City Lights, and it looks absolutely absorbing. It's a documentary about one particular bullfighter and a full season he spends on the job. Even a three-minute trailer is just hypnotic, and as someone who doesn't really understand the cultural side of bullfighting, I can at least understand the visceral draw of it. I'm horrified by it ethically, but that only makes the attraction more electric for me. I really dig City Lights... they've got very good taste, and more often than not, if they send something, it deserves my attention.
I was watching "Choke" over the weekend, and there was a trailer on the front of it for "The Haunting Of Molly Hartley" that appeared to give the entire movie away. Every single beat. It was sort of an amazing example of how not to sell a movie. A teenaged girl's mother tries to kill her, and then kills herself. The girl tries to get on with her life at a new school, while her dead mother keeps appearing to her, and she comes to suspect that she is actually at the center of a conspiracy of some sort. Are they all trying to kill her... or do they have something else in mind? (Hint: they do.) The one notable thing about the trailer is the presence of AnnaLynne McCord, who is making a career out of being the allegedly-hot-but-actually-on-the-verge-of-scary-girl-with-the-Joker-smile-who-is-a-giant-raging-bitch. She does it well, I guess, but there's no shelf life for it. As soon as she's too old for "90210" and that ass drops at all, she's out of business. Ever since seeing her on "Nip/Tuck," I am just plain skeeved out by her act, and I am almost reluctant to see this one just because of her presence.
Oscar bait is not a new game. I'm sure when someone greenlit the Hector Babenco film "Ironweed," based on the novel by William Kennedy, they were thinking of all the little gold statues they'd be able to put on the shelves. Particularly once they cast Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson as a pair of bums during the Great Depression. It's a minor key affair, with performances worth watching, about these two rolling into town after being away for years, all their ghosts in tow. As memories flood in, both of them crumble under the impact of all this stuff they thought was buried, and their only solace comes from emptying bottles together. The film never really had any traction at the Oscars, but that's probably because it's better than that... it's not an easy awards sell. It plays things subtle, quiet. These two are haunted, rotten on the inside, and the movie is content to study them up close, not needing giant fireworks to make its points. Good stuff, and I look forward to seeing it for the first time in years.
All sorts of weird cult titles out this week. Don May's Synapse Films has a label called Impulse that is more for really culty softcore stuff, and this week, he's releasing "Schoolgirl Report Vol. 5," part of a series that has been dependably smutty. I missed "Late Bloomer" at Fantastic Fest last fall, but I heard from several people that it's very demanding, almost like performance art, about a man with severe muscular dystrophy who falls for his nurse, only to feel betrayed when she falls for someone else. His revenge turns bloody, and the film seems to be a wild black and white avant garde freak out. Sounds great to me. I did see the Cult Epics release of "Viva," which is the unrated director's cut. I don't know what planet filmmaker Anna Biller is from, but she makes me cackle. She wrote, directed, produced, scored, edited, photographed, choreographed, catered and carpooled on the movie. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but she's all over the credits, and if you read this interview with her, it sounds like a labor of love. Or lust, I guess. She's made a film that feels like a real bored-housewife-on-the-rampage softcore movie from the '70s, right down to the film stock and the editing rhythms. It's as much a labor of reproduction love as anything in "Grindhouse," and while I didn't love it as much as "Grindhouse," I admire the effort and the aesthetic. Finally, there's Mondo Macabro's "The Sins Of Sister Lucia." It's not just Nunsploitation, though. Oh, no, that would be too easy. It's actually Nunsploitation from Japan. I also want "Japan Noir," which appears to be four Japanese films from the '50s and '60s, none of which I've seen or even heard of. Buying a set like that is great because I love the sense of discovery if even one of those movies is good.
"The Whole Shooting Match" is one of those movies I've read about a dozen times over the years and had just accepted that I would never see. An early indie cinema landmark, it was one of the films that led Robert Redford to found the Sundance Institute, and it was a late '70s release by New Line, still an exploitation label at the time. The story of a pair of Texas drifters, I've always heard this described as a very low-key charmer, and I am excited to finally get a chance to see it for myself.
Let's wrap things up today with a look at what's coming out exclusively in BluRay, catalog titles making their way to high-definition. I've had a few of you e-mail me to say that you resent me paying extra attention to BluRay, but I don't know what to tell you. I honestly think that most DVD transfers are brutal now when I watch them. BluRay has absolutely spoiled me. The jump is like it was between VHS to DVD, and I'm amazed how much I enjoy the experience of watching pretty much anything in high-definition. It's so much closer to the experience of watching an actual film print, which is, of course, the ultimate goal for film freaks and home video. And there are some promising titles this week.
There's a fair amount of debate online about "The French Connection," which William Friedkin supervised with an all-new transfer, trying a digital color-timing process that radically changes the look of the film. At this point, good or bad, I'm going to have to see the disc just to see what he did. I'll also pick up "The French Connection II" while I'm at it, and I was pleased to realize as I was cataloguing my DVDs last week to realize that I don't own either one of those already, so this won't be a double-dip for me. I am perfectly happy to double-dip on "Akira," though, based on the great reviews I've been reading of the new remastering. Say what you will about the film, but without "Akira," anime would not have broken in this country the way it did. That film was the beachhead, and everything that's happened afterwards in terms of mainstream acceptance started with that one. For good reason, too... it's still one of the most overwhelming experiences in all of anime, widely imitated but rarely equalled. "Vanishing Point" should be a great BluRay pick-up for car chase freaks, and I'm curious to see what kind of print they were able to find for "Zulu". And, finally, to bring things back around to Argento, his classic "The Bird With The Crystal Plumage" is getting the BluRay treatment from Blue Underground this week, and it's a great looking film to begin with. I'll pick this up, but I'm counting the days till they deliver "Suspiria" on BluRay.
Next week's actually one of the slower weeks we'll have for this column, but even so, there's plenty to discuss, like the BluRay release of Baz Luhrmann's "Australia," the new DC direct-to-video animated releases of "Wonder Woman" and "Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic," and Wong Kar-Wai's rejiggered "Ashes Of Time Redux".

I did a Google search on Predicto and found that others had similar experiences with this company. I also found a number to call to have them cancel whatever service I had apparently signed up for. I never respond to any such 'surveys' the Customer Service Representative said I had signed up for. I suspect it was a box that was already checked on some website I was on, but I have no idea what it was. I told the CSR to cancel me immediately and that I had better not get any additional text messages from them or any additional charges on my cell phone.
I believe this is a scam and people should be made aware. Verizon and any other wireless service providers should refund the money to the unsuspecting customers.

Sergio Martinez: I'm The Power Puncher in This Fight
World champion Sergio Martinez believes the only reason Miguel Cotto has chosen to fight him is because he thinks he's over the hill.
The WBC middleweight kingpin puts his title on the line against the Puerto Rican legend at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday night, with Martinez of the belief that Cotto only took the fight because he believes the Argentine is past his best.
Cotto is attempting to make history by becoming his nation's first four-weight world champion when he makes the move up to the 160 pound division, but Martinez, who contentiously overcame Britain's Martin Murray in his last outing, says he is in for a rude awakening.
"Miguel Cotto believes that I am ripe for the picking and that my age has finally caught up with me," said Martinez. "
"What he doesn't realise is that for the Martin Murray fight, I had many injuries going into the fight. I did not want to postpone the event because it was always a dream of mine to defend my title in Argentina so we as a team decided to go forward with the fight with Martin Murray.
"I still came out victorious in that fight but Miguel Cotto thinks I'm on the decline, which is the only reason I believe he chose to face me now.
'Maravilla' Martinez burst onto the elite scene with a stunning second round knockout over the courageous Paul Williams in their rematch back in 2010, after having captured the WBC and WBO middleweight belts against the division's then number one fighter in Kelly Pavlik.
Having gone onto to establish himself as one of the very best pound-for-pound, Martinez is adamant that Cotto will not hear the final bell when the pair clash in front of a packed house.
He added: "I am extremely motivated for this fight with Cotto. Not just because I don't necessarily care for Miguel Cotto, but I want to prove him wrong in thinking that I'm not an elite fighter.
"Miguel Cotto is a good fighter and a future hall of famer, but he will not become the world middleweight champion by defeating me. The only way I see this fight ending is with Miguel Cotto being knocked out. I cannot see the fight going past nine rounds," he said.
With Cotto having started out at light-welterweight, Martinez believes that size will play a decisive factor in the fight, with this bout ranking amongst one of his biggest to date.
"There is no hatred toward Miguel, we are both professionals. I am totally focused on the fight and totally focused on the task at hand, which is beating Miguel Cotto. Miguel does not have the same power at this weight as he does at 147lbs," said Martinez.
"I am the power-puncher out of the two of us. The most important factor in this fight, though, is the level of intelligence that I will use on Saturday. I am not worried about the judges being swayed in this bout or any questionable decisions; because there is no way that this fight is going the distance.
"This fight is right up there with Paul Williams and Kelly Pavlik as one of the most important of my career."
Fighting at the iconic Madison Square Garden has become commonplace for Cotto, who has only lost once there in eight occasions, and enjoyed a partisan crowd for most outings.
But, the slick southpaw Martinez is looking to follow in the footsteps of Argentine idols, heavyweight Oscar Bonavena and former undisputed middleweight champion Carlos Monzon, by taking over the grandest of amphitheatres.
"To fight at Madison Square Garden where great Argentinean boxers fought like Oscar Bonavena and Carlos Monzon is the greatest honour that any Argentinean boxer could possibly have," he said.
"The Argentinean community in New York has always been very supportive of me, and I expect an incredible atmosphere similar to a world cup soccer match.
"Miguel Cotto says Madison Square Garden is his home, but come June 7th he will be evicted and I will prove that I am one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.".
Martinez vs. Cotto is live and exclusive on BoxNation (Sky 437/490HD & Virgin 546) this Saturday night at 2am. Visit www.boxnation.com to subscribe.

By Jim Hinnant, 401st Army Field Support BrigadeSeptember 7, 2008
CAMP ARIFJAN, Kuwait Ac"a,! Operational and environmental conditions in Afghanistan place heavy loads on not just Soldiers, but also the combat and tactical vehicles used to transport people and equipment around the Operation Enduring Freedom area of operations.
Maintaining the generators, alternators and starters these vehicles rely on to keep the wheels of transport turning got a real boost recently, as sister battalions of the 401st Army Field Support Brigade worked together to provide better diagnostic and testing capability at the Army Materiel Command's operation at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan.
The 3rd Battalion's Field Service Maintenance Shop, Fuel and Electric Section, services and repairs, among other components, these critical electricity producing and managing items that power the various systems found in Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles, Humvees, and other vehicles.
Key to the F&E shop's diagnosis, repair and testing function is the 400 ampere-hour generator test stand, used to ensure a specific component is producing all the "juice" it should and that it will hold up under load.
Recently the critical nature of the testing process became evident during the repair of MRAP generators that had suffered damage when serpentine belt pulleys essentially disintegrated when the bearings in the open-faced pulley failed.
The failure not only caused the belt to come apart, but flying metal fragments from the pulley could damage other components, such as the alternator.
The pulley failures have since been addressed by introducing a solid, closed design, and once replaced and the generator tested, the component could be returned to stock for reissue to the warfighter.
But, the weary generator test stand in the F&E shop wasn't up to the task, as due to corrosion and other internal damage, it wasn't able to produce the required number of amperes, peaking out at some 50 less than the 400 needed to fully test repaired components to be sure they were ready for use under combat conditions.
The inability to diagnose, repair and test the generators in Afghanistan would mean the item would have to be shipped back to U.S. for depot-level work - making the repair much more expensive and adding weeks to the process.
3rd Battalion notified the brigade of the need for a replacement test stand, and one was found on-hand in the 1st Battalion's Army Preposition Stocks storage in Qatar.
The test stand was pulled from stock, serviced and tested by Curtis Knott, an ITT Inc., contractor who works in the 1st Battalion's F&E shop. Once Knott was satisfied that it was performing as required, it was shipped from Qatar directly to Bagram where it was placed into service.
For his work as part of the team effort to get the stand to 3rd Battalion in a timely manner, Knott was recognized as the brigade's "Champion of the Week" for Aug. 20, 2008.
Colonel Jon Buonerba, 401st AFSB Commander, says the importance of the generator test stand can't be overstated.
"This stand allows us to not only test the MRAP generator, but other electrical components like starters and alternators, and for other vehicles like the Humvee and Stryker," said Buonerba. "It is a critical piece of equipment we need to do our job here."

They do business as Allergy Relief Center of Nebraska, AKA Filtropur FVS Inc, supposedly located somewhere in Ohio.
They prey on the most vunerable members of society; targeting elderly and people who are stricken with a variety of breathing disorders such as Asthma, COPD, sleep appenia, sinus infection, ect.
They first decieve you to believe they are demonstrating Air purification equipment in your house; then do a bait-and -switch trick to demonstrating a cheap inferior quality vaccume cleaner they claim the EPA and FDA recommen for the mere sum of $1,900.000. The Vaccum cleaner and plastic air filer come at a cost of about $4,000.000 together. No worries though, if that's not in your budget, they will suggest you finance their scam as long as you don't mind turning over all your personal financial information to them, such as your social security number, birth date, place of employment, bank accounts, assets, and next of kin with personal references. There is no telling who these schieisters sell your private identity to.
They provide their own company supplied air quality testing meter which shows the air in your house is toxic, and only their $4000.000 worth of cheesy chinese made plastic can restore your health and dignit.They pull all of this dust out of your house, and then instead of throwing it away, they rub it back into your carpet insinuating how filthy you live. It's really these crooks who are really are the dirt. I recommend reporting them to the Better Business Bureau, FTC and Consmue rReports. This company is truly a very dirty unhealthy operation that is full of lying dirt bags who are insulting and disrespectful know it all's.

live in a modest ranch style home with 4 cats. My daughter is allergic to pet dander and my wife and eldest son are allergic to dust. It used to be a sneeze fest in the winter with us all cooped up but this year its been nice. Just
like Steve said, its like breathing fresh air INSIDE.
I would also like to thank Steve George and his crew for taking care of us, we had a couple of issues with our equipment and they have really stepped up to make sure we are happy and that their products are living up to standards above and beyond. I have visited the office a few times and it always feels like Im hanging out with friends.

Make's a Difference

When we began to visit you told me your wife had a heart transplant. To make a long story short, I knew your wife as I was a nurse in the intensive care unit when she had her surgery. I am well aware of the fact that she is the longest living heart transplant patient as her progress has been followed closely. I have also been on the transplant committee and worked with many immune suppressed patients in my nursing career. I know what a challenge it can be to keep these patients healthy. I came to the Allergy Relief Center hoping to find something that would help. Honestly, I did not see at that time how an air cleaning system could help.
Once I heard about whom your wife was and the fact that you actually use the system in your home, you had my attention. We bought the system about 6 7 months ago and Matt has not had a sinus infection or been on antibiotics since. It was the best money we have ever spent. As a nurse I was concerned about frequent antibiotic use and what the long term effects of all the drugs would have on my son. I am grateful and thrilled to say your air cleaning system made the difference. I would recommend to anyone that has allergies and sinus problems to use your system.
We are grateful for your system. If anyone would ever like to ask about the success we have had with our sons health, please feel free to have them call. As a health care professional I am willing to promote anything that I see as truly making a difference in someones health.

Sam arrived at around 7:30 pm, after getting lost trying to find our house. We listened to her demonstration on all three of the Filtropur purifying systems, and I have to say we were very interested in what she had to offer. At 12:30 am she left and we were the proud owners of all three Filtropur systems, and house cleaning has never been more fun. Sam was very personable, easy to ask questions to and for being that late in the evening she never once spoke of being tired or of the time being late, she was always a professional.
After having the Filtropur air purifying system running continuously in our home for approximately two weeks, we started to hear a funny buzzing or zapping sound when it was running on the quiet setting. This happened on a weekend, so we cleaned the little wires with the pipe cleaners as we were instructed to do, but zapping noise kept on. On Monday afternoon at approximately 1 pm I called Sam and told her of our findings of that particular machine. She said she would make a phone call to someone at the office in Omaha and we would hear from them shortly. By 4 pm that afternoon we had a new Filtropur air purifying machine set up in our living room in our house.
How fast and amazing was that!! Especially when we live 3 hours from the office, it just so happens that someone was headed our way with a new delivery of these machines to our area. Still, that is great customer service. Like I mentioned before about it being fun to clean, I am now wanting to clean with the Filtropur vacuum. Where I never cleaned house before, I am now doing so. It is so easy, and so much fun to see just how much stuff you get off of your furniture, bed, and floors. I am impressed. Thanks Filtropur, I am hooked on your products!

Skip to comments.Michael Steele causes uproar with Afghan remarks (Michael 'WhoDat?' Steele Sighting /sarc )
Posted on 07/02/2010 12:57:13 PM PDT by NormsRevenge
WASHINGTON (Reuters) Republican Party leader Michael Steele faced heavy criticism and calls for his resignation on Friday after blaming President Barack Obama for the Afghanistan war and suggesting it could not be won.
At a Republican fundraiser in Connecticut on Thursday, Steele was videotaped while criticizing Obama's decision to bolster the Afghanistan war effort. The comments contradicted the stance of the party, which has consistently pushed for more troops and funding in Afghanistan.
"This was a war of Obama's choosing," said Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee. "This is not something the United States had actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in."
Steele also called the recent resignation of Afghan war commander General Stanley McChrystal "comical" and made fun of Obama for deciding to increase the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
The United States invaded Afghanistan under Republican President George W. Bush in retaliation for the September 11, 2001, attacks by al Qaeda, whose leaders had taken refuge there.
The comments sparked a wave of criticism from Democrats and calls for Steele's resignation, led by prominent Republican conservative columnist Bill Kristol.
"Needless to say, the war in Afghanistan was not 'a war of Obama's choosing,'" Kristol said in a blog on the Weekly Standard magazine site. "It has been prosecuted by the United States under Presidents Bush and Obama. Republicans have consistently supported the effort.
"There are, of course, those who think we should pull out of Afghanistan and they're certainly entitled to make their case. But one of them shouldn't be the chairman of the Republican Party."
Steele issued a statement trying to extricate himself from the controversy, saying Obama's shift in the U.S. military focus from Iraq to Afghanistan means "this is his strategy."

THIS is the opportunity to dump this quisling!
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele, pictured on Capitol Hill in 2009, drew heavy fire Friday for confused comments in which he blamed the war in Afghanistan on President Barack Obama and seemed to label it a lost cause. (AFP/File/Saul Loeb)
Michael Steele, the Democrats' favorite Republican.
Man, Steele should be landing easy shots on the Dems. Not this $#!+.
Steele will resign 30 days before the November elections, calling the RNC "RACIST" Obama will offer him a job.
Does he drink or what?
The RNC board members that thought this guy was good should also resign.
Imagine, racial disloyalty, in this day and age.
However, I think there is an underlying point to it being "Obama's War" in that Obama doesn't care if we win, in fact, he may not want us to win. He'll manage it in a way that loses US and Allied soldiers and hold on to it until he can decide, politically, that enough is enough.
He's accurate in what he said. Bush was not prosecuting a full blown war in Afghanistan. He was in Iraq. Obama esclated it to a higher level of war than Bush had going.
Second, he is right that we should pull out of that war. Obama is fighting it like a sympathizer for our enemies - it is viet nam all over again. He is getting soldiers killed with his love of Muslims.
Krystal loves war a bit too much. He's got a brainless knee jerk thing going on and he could care less about the troops. They are fodder to him.
I would agree with your analysis..
Ask the Russians about Afghanistan.. whether Obama wanted it or not, it is his baby now..
Steele may have overdone his remarks just a wee bit.
How about Sarah take over the RNC? RINOs still there probably wouldn't allow it.
Wow. I thought I was the only one with that fear floating in the back of my mind.
Steele will resign 30 days before the November elections, calling the RNC RACIST Obama will offer him a job.
I am convinced this year's October surprise will be some kind of oh-so-predictable "gaff" from Steele.
That is why THIS is the opportunity to roll his too talkative head.
Does he drink or what?
No. Nor is he stupid. This is why I conclude that he is a deliberate sabateur. These 'episodes' are so frequent and predictable that they must be deliberate.
A definite possibility, IMO.
Steele is, so far (IMO), the WORST RNC chair ever - surpassing even the dismal performance of Mel Martinez.
Why is it that politics attracts the lowest and dumbest quadrant of society??
WTF, I had to check the calendar to see if it was April 1st..
That's true. I have been kind of baffled by Obama's approach. I remember him talking smack about Pakistan, and about Afghanistan, and I wonder... why is he so into Afghanistan and so opposed to Iraq? I don't get it.
Why is it that politics attracts the lowest and dumbest quadrant of society??
For the idle, narcissistic egotist, what other path offers so much opportunity to showboat, abuse people, and live well and securely?
Dillinger robbed banks because he just wanted the money. If he had other character defects he might have run for office.
My relatives who are fighting in Afghn. understand why they are there and must stay there and win.
We could pull out tomorrow and will have the same problems, only on our soil.
That's true. I have been kind of baffled by Obama's approach. I remember him talking smack about Pakistan, and about Afghanistan, and I wonder... why is he so into Afghanistan and so opposed to Iraq? I don't get it.
Most of the Democrats took this position. I think it was simply kneejerk to do whatever was the opposite of Bush's policy in any given area. Suddenly, they actually had to deliver after the utter routs in '06 and '08 left hem in charge.
Ken Blackwell, pick up the red courtesy phone
Deliberate sabotage—like when Chris Darden torpedoed the OJ trial with the gloves debacle?
I watched Orca Winfrey a few years ago, not something I usually do. It so happened Darden was on that day. He told Orca, when she asked him about Mark Fuhrman, that when Darden and Johnnie Cochran were chatting before the trial started that the prosecution would have trouble with "that white boy".
Fatso Orca chuckled at that-kind of ironic, Darden and Cochrane slurred Fuhrman racially, which was no big deal, but Fuhrman, who was more of a man than either of those POSs, was dragged through the mud for using similar slurs in a private conversation.
Brainless Steele is stupid and bigmouthed-like a suntanned Biden, but he may in fact do something on purpose. Race trumps all for these folks.
To me the problem is that he is not really into the war. He demanded rules of engagement that place our troops in harms way because he does not give a you know what about our troops. It is Viet Nam all over again.
We are fighting a war where one of the political parties (DNC) is an ally of the enemy. We did it once...we should be smart enough not to do it again.
The border is wide open and evidence shows they are already here. You will be fighting them in the US along with the drug cartels and the communist regime in power.
We have been understanding (recognizing all the intra-party intrigue that goes on), forgiving (realizing good intentions are not always put forth with the best action), patient (O.K, everyone makes mistakes and CAN learn from them) and willing to ignore slips of the tongue and mere communication gaffs; but no more.
We should have said "no more" when Steele spoke of some of the inside-the-GOP complaints about his performance as complaints that would have been with-held by everyone if he were not Black. That was as untrue as is his view on what "the GOP" position has been, and is, on the security efforts in Afghanistan.
His current error is not about what any of us think about what's going on in Afghanistan now; it's not about what any of us individually think about how much longer we will maintain the effort or should do so.
It's about what "the GOP" thinks, and HAS thought of the efforts in Afghanistan.
He has totally mis-stated the dominant GOP policy point of view on Afghanistan, from inception of hostilities there to now, from GW Bush and majorities in the GOP in Congress, every year since we took down the Taliban government, to now, and among majorities within the grass roots of the GOP during that same period of time. His statement is not the reflection of a "GOP" view; if anything, it is purely his own.
One cannot be the national "leader" of a political party and speak on such a major issue with an opinion that does not have, never had, most of the party behind it. The party is not and will not follow such a person.
He needs to go - NOW.
I live 20 miles north of the largest and busiest border crossing in the world, San Diego - Tijuana, Mexico.
Don't tell me about illegals.
We have to deal with both, not one or the other.
Race trumps all for these folks.
For many, but not all. Alan Keyes, Thomas Sowell and Justice Thomas come to mind.
Appointing Thomas was the best thing G. H. W. Bush did in his term.
Pan_Yan just said, "Where was Michael Steele on September 12, 2001?"
What the hell is Steele thinking? Obama is showing no interest in winning Afghanistan. Why doesn't Steele just let this be?
LOL!!! Excellent point. I concede to the master!!
Well, party leaders wanted an affirmative action head. And they got it. I wonder when he'll declare that the party is incapable of winning in November.
This is what the RNC gets for hiring idiots.
Maybe he is going to the strip clubs on the RNC's dime again.
You are so ignorant on all your points!
We went to WAR in Afghanistan with Bush...we had two WARS..Iraq and Afghanistan.
Only a moron would think we should "pull out of afghanistan"...we CAN"T NOW! Can you say Pakistan????
where do you think al Quida is?
and your comments about Kristol belong on the Daily Kos.!
why don't you just join cindy sheehan with your attitudes?
Bingo. Fight to win or pull out.
Last Straw Alert!
Steele is right. Obama's nation building war is a hopeless quagmire and only undermines national defense. Bring the troops home and end Obama's War!
Why is it that politics attracts the lowest and dumbest quadrant of society??
"For the idle, narcissistic egotist, what other path offers so much opportunity to showboat, abuse people, and live well and securely?
Dillinger robbed banks because he just wanted the money. If he had other character defects he might have run for office. "
Post of the Day!!
The Rats are looking like crap right now and the Republicans continue to screw up so bad it's almost like it's intentional.
Really happy to see there is independent thinking here still. Great points in your response...and I agree. There is no "winning". We should simply leave with the message that if it happens again we will come back and bomb them until even the rocks have been turned to dust. Then leave again for them to wallow in the dust, leaving them again the same message. "Happens again, we will bomb you again."
Go back to retaliation, not pre-emption and not nation building, culture changing, etc. Just the hard fist, which is all those rock heads will ever understand.
Uh oh! We have politically incorrect thinking going on in here???? LOL!
Measure the war in light of the current circumstances, not in yesterday's terms. I know it is hard for some people to take in new information and realities, but it is something adults have to do in life. Espeically if they want to govern.
You are wrong. Bush was in Afghanistan, but he was not in it like he was in Iraq. FACT: Obama esclated the Afghan war. You don't think the McCrystal wanted Bush to send the additional troops? They just all of a sudden made that up when the Kenyan entered office? Why did not Bush do that? Maybe he did not see it as a head on confrontation in tatics????? McCrystal turned out to be a real winner.
Facts are facts - get used to it. Dear Reader esclated the war and set terms of engagement that endanger our troops and protect our enemies - VIET NAM ALL OVER AGAIN! He's putting the troops in there but he loves the enemy more than he is committed to winning the war. Just like the Marxists did with the Reds during the Cold War.
I think you are ignorant in what you said - so we's even.:)
I bet you do know about illegals. ;)
Yep. Some people have a real hard time moving their minds along with the changing scenery of situations. They think it makes them wrong to begin with if they change their minds with unfolding circumstances. They would do anything not to be wrong.
But they are not wrong...the circumstances changed and adults are supposed to be able analyze current reality and change stragegy when indicated.
We should simply leave with the message that if it happens again we will come back and bomb them until even the rocks have been turned to dust.
IMO, there were three leaders who had a proper appreciation of Islam, and dealt with it as it should be. In ascending order of skill, diligence and effect:
Charles Martel
Vlad Tepes
Genghis Khan

Roach: Sergio Martinez Was Exposed, Chavez Too Strong
By Luis Sandoval
A potential fight between current WBC Middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Sergio Martinez has not been able to be arranged even though Martinez is next in line to challenge for the title. The WBC is allowing Chavez to make an optional defense in June and will need to negotiate and finalize a deal to fight Martinez for a fight in September.
Chavez's trainer Freddie Roach was on the latest edition of BoxingScene's official audio show The Boxing Lab and discussed a possible fight with Sergio Martinez. Roach would like the fight to happen and feels Chavez would come out victorious.
"I would love to see him fight the Argentinean soon. I think [Sergio Martinez] was exposed in his last fight with Macklin. He did was he was supposed to do at the end but I don't think he looked good up to that point. Hopefully the fight will happen soon" said Roach.
"Martinez is getting a little bigger audience each time he fights. He's a very good athlete. I don't think he's a great, great boxer but he's a very good athlete. He has power and has a quick left hand but I think Chavez would be too strong for him".
Another fight Roach would be interested in would be a showdown with Mexican sensation Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. The fight has been discussed before and it's one the boxing audience would love to see but up until now, no real progress has been made.
While the Martinez fight is a fight Roach would like to see Chavez in, he knows a Canelo fight would be bigger.
"You know, [Chavez vs. Martinez is] a good fight but it's not as big as the Canelo fight ofcourse. Canelo and Chavez is the second biggest fight in the world today numbers wise" expressed Roach. "Canelo is also on our list. If we get Golden Boy and Top Rank to work together it would be really good for the sport" said Roach.
You can listen to Freddie Roach's interview on The Boxing Lab podcast: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/boxinglab/2012/03/28/the-boxing-lab-boxingscenes-official-audio-show

I thought it was dodgy from the start by looking at the paper used. It was just ordinary printing paper and was colourless, ie, black and white. One would think a company like that would have better paper to use with colours etc.
I also looked at the envelope it came in - the stamp was Spanish but it looked like it had not been stamped over otherwise known as cancelled out (which is usually the case when it reaches the post office). And the envelope was ordinary.
Where was their privacy statement and ABN (as required in Australia) etc. Nothing. Don't these guys have anything better to do. W****** (or in Spanish - 'P*****')

Also enclosed was a check for $4,850 from Bertelsmann Direct North America Inc. located in Indianapolis, In. The bank that was used was Chase Manhattan Bank Delaware.
It stated that I needed to contact John Crawford immediately at 778-858-1119 in order to activate the check and start the claim process. Upon calling the number 2 things happened. First, a recording came on stating that I had reached 778-858-1119 and secondly, the voice mail box was full at this time.
I then starting doing some research via the internet.
Consumer Affairs has had numerous compaints about scams such as this one. I also went on the Publishers Clearing House website and no such sweepstakes/lottery was listed. I sent them an e-mail inquiring about it.
I Then came across a report from another individual from this website about the same scam.
I am glad that I did the research before I got my hopes up. Now if I receive a phone call from Prize America, I will be armed and ready .

Afternoon Video Dump: Tompkins on Vitor Belfort, Machida: The Next Generation + More
(Props: CageWriter)
Believe it or not, Vitor Belfort's trainer Shawn Tompkins says that he and Vitor had been pushing for a fight against Fedor Emelianenko three months ago — and now the opportunity may have dropped in their laps. "It's Vitor's way of proving that he is the best pound-for-pound champion," says Tompkins of Belfort's desire to face the Last Emperor. The Xtreme Couture striking coach tries to convince Steve Cofield that going from Jorge Santiago to Fedor Emelianenko isn't that big of a stylistic change for Vitor, but acknowledges that Fedor probably isn't too nervous about the last-minute opponent-switch.
Also, fighting Emelianenko is far from a lost cause: "[Fedor's fight against Andrei Arlovski] really showed a lot of the kink in Fedor's armor. Whether Fedor believes it or not, he doesn't deal well with speed, and he doesn't deal well with getting hit…it's going to be hard to keep up to Vitor's pace." And as for their previous refusal to take on Gegard Mousasi at light-heavyweight? Tompkins drops some real-talk on us: "What does Mousasi do for us in America? If Affliction sticks around, we'd like to renew our contract with them, but if they don't, we want to go to the UFC. Beating Mousasi does nothing for us, getting beat by Mousasi…it's not good for us at all."Read More DIGG THIS


text: Charter Schools ECOT's Attempt To Halt Attendance Audit Fails In Court By Michelle Faust • Jul 12, 2016 ecotohio.org The largest online charter school in the state took the Ohio Department of Education to court today, and lost, as a judge ruled the state's audit of attendance records can go forward. School Districts Protest Charter School Funding System By Andy Chow (Statehouse News Bureau) • Jan 27, 2016 Andy Chow Several school districts in Ohio have recently passed resolutions asking the state to directly fund charter schools. Now, many of those districts have also sent the state department of education invoices to show that millions of dollars are being pulled from their funding to follow students when they leave for a charter school. Chad Aldis, with the pro-charter school organization the Fordham Institute, says sending invoices is a bit theatrical. Panel Makes Recommendations For Ohio Charter School Reform By Karen Kasler (Ohio Public Radio) • Dec 16, 2015 Karen Kasler / Statehouse News Bureau A three-member panel appointed by the outgoing state school superintendent has come up with 22 ideas on how to reform Ohio's troubled charter schools and improve public perception of the schools. The panel recommended charter schools be evaluated on similar criteria as public schools, and that grades for online and dropout recovery charter schools be included in reviews. The state's charter school chief resigned this summer after coming under fire for not including failing grades for some schools in evaluations. $71 Million In Federal Charter Funds On Hold For Ohio By Gabriel Kramer (ideastream) • Nov 5, 2015 tncountryfan / Flickr/Creative Commons The U.S. Department of Education awarded $71 million to expand charter schools in Ohio last month, but the department has announced those funds are being temporarily withheld. In a letter to the Ohio Department of Education (ODE), the federal education department explained that it has concerns about Ohio's oversight and accountability of its charter schools. Researchers Highlight Bleak Performance At Online Charter Schools By Andy Chow (Ohio Public Radio) • Oct 28, 2015 Mathematica Policy Research A coalition of researchers says students at online charter schools are drastically lagging behind students at traditional public schools. The study says when it comes to math, a student enrolled in an online charter school is a full school year behind a student at a traditional public school. The numbers aren't much better for reading either. Ohio Delegation Crafting Charter Reform At Federal Level By Ariel Van Cleave • Oct 23, 2015 User: Paradox 56 / Flickr/Creative Commons Ohio lawmakers at the federal level are working on their own charter school reform proposal. The state passed a measure earlier this month meant to crack down on bad charters. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown says this renewed push for reform comes after the U.S. Department of Education gave Ohio $71 million for its charter school system. He says the Charter School Accountability Act would ensure that money would go to schools with a proven track record of success. More Questions About Ohio Education Department's Charter School Application By Andy Chow (Ohio Public Radio) • Oct 21, 2015 The federal government is giving Ohio $71 million for its charter school program. But state school board members fear Ohio got that money using bogus information on its application. The state submitted the application just two days after its director of school choice admitted to scrubbing data on charter school sponsor evaluations and resigned. This bothers several state board of education members, including Stephanie Dodd. Charter School Probe, Records Divide Ohio School Board By Associated Press • Oct 20, 2015 Ohio Department of Education A divided state school board has voted against releasing additional documents sought by Auditor Dave Yost in his probe of the Ohio Department of Education's troubled charter-school oversight office. A resolution offered Tuesday by board member Stephanie Dodd would have required the department to release all documents sought by Yost, including anything protected by attorney-client privilege. Backers of the effort say they're eager to know more about events leading up to the July resignation of School Choice Director David Hansen. Charter Reform Needs Governor's Signature By Andy Chow (Ohio Public Radio) • Oct 8, 2015 User: thoth188 / Creative Commons Lawmakers have passed House Bill 2. The comprehensive reform to the way charter schools are policed is headed to the governor's desk for his final approval. Lawmakers say HB 2 will increase accountability and transparency in the system. It stops what's known as sponsor hopping. This is when a failing charter school tries to find a new sponsor when the original one pulls the plug. It also clamps down on scenarios that could create conflicts of interest between a school and its operator. And it implements more oversight in general by the Ohio Department of Education. Yost Will Track Spending Of New Charter School Money By Jo Ingles (Ohio Public Radio) • Oct 6, 2015 Ben Postlethwait / Ohio Public Radio Ohio's charter schools recently received a $71 million dollar grant from the federal government. Some of those schools are known to have issues with student performance. And because of that record, the state's auditor wants to track how the money is spent. Pages1 2 3 4 next › last »

The exhibition provides an in-depth look at two understudied collaborations, executed in 1948 and 1952, that aimed to bring to national consciousness the black experience in postwar America, with Harlem as its nerve center. Gordon Parks (1912-2006), a renowned photographer and filmmaker best known for his photo-essays for Life magazine, and Ralph Ellison (1913-1994), author of one of the most acclaimed novels of the 20th century, Invisible Man (1952), are both major figures in American Art and literature. The two friends, united by a shared vision of racial injustices and a belief in the communicative power of photography, sought to counter stereotypical representations of African American life that filled mainstream publications in their day.
Parks and Ellison first joined forces on the 1948 illustrated essay "Harlem Is Nowhere" for '48: The Magazine of the Year, which focused on Harlem's Lafargue Mental Hygiene Clinic as a means of highlighting the social and economic effects of racism and segregation. In 1952, shortly after the publication of Ellison's Invisible Man, they worked on a story for Life, "A Man Becomes Invisible," to introduce Ellison's novel. Through these projects, Parks and Ellison offered an alternative, meaningful representation of African American life in the hopes of reshaping attitudes about the root causes of racial inequality.Invisible Man: Gordon Parks and Ralph Ellison In Harlem features over 50 never-before-seen objects, including photographs, contact sheets, and manuscripts.
The MCA is honored to present a major museum survey of Kerry James Marshall (b. 1955), one of America's greatest living artists. The exhibition focuses primarily on Marshall's paintings made over the last 35 years, from his seminal inaugural statement Portrait of the Artist as a Shadow of His Former Self (1980) to his most recent explorations of African American history.
Born before the passage of the Civil Rights Act, in Birmingham, Alabama, and witness to the Watts riots in 1965, Marshall has long been an inspired and imaginative chronicler of the African American experience. Best known for his large-scale paintings featuring black figures, defiant assertions of blackness in a medium in which African Americans have long been "invisible men," Marshall's interrogation of art history covers a broad temporal swath stretching from the Renaissance to 20th-century American abstraction. He critically examines the Western canon through its most canonical forms: the historical tableau, landscape, and portraiture. His work also touches upon vernacular forms such as the muralist tradition and the comic book, as seen in his comics-inspired Rythm Mastr drawings (2000–present), in order to address and correct the "vacuum in the image bank"—in other words, to make the invisible visible.
Marshall studied in Los Angeles with acclaimed social realist painter Charles White and participated in the residency program at the Studio Museum in Harlem. He has received solo exhibitions throughout Europe and North America and his work has been included in such prestigious international exhibitions as the 1997 Whitney Biennial, the 2003 Venice Biennial, the 2009 Gwangju Biennial, two Documentas (1997 and 2007), and the 1999 Carnegie International. His paintings are in private collections and foundations as well as major public collections including the MCA's.

after all the good news the company has posted up recently this should be up but just got whacked in half and is looking at all time lows.....who is selling shares so cheap? whats the float on this thing anyway..
yeah i told them they need to advertise...say you are new DUI offender and enter the world of interlocks.....do you want one you need to hum a different tone every time or get aborts...have to suck back to the point you're gasping for breath...take more than 8-10 seconds to complete a test...or just do a straight blow....it matters over the long term if a person has to blow for a year or longer... so this company is on the right track when looking at the technology and blow procedure...but like I said...most drunk drivers after getting arrested and still want to drive with interlock does not know how to compare interlock companies...and will settle for cheapest monthly cost thinking they're all the same..
Its held back by the completion of new devices...if they had 5000 of them they could probably get them in drunks vehicles pretty quick...but seem to order 100 at a time....the competition can build devices faster and get them on the market quicker... hard to do the math on this...they have enough states to work in right now ...just need a lot more devices and more installers..
Even a little know stock like this gets taken down so big boys can get cheap shares at 30 cents before the post news run up happens...this sees $1 plus next week..
I've noticed this company and invested in it only because I am in interlock driver and always interested in the advancing technology related to this whole space. As a user I am astonished by the varying degree of technology or lack there of with all the devices available around the USA. There is a LOT of room for improvement. BDIC has an edge with a straight blow (no hum or suck back) technology and at least they say they care about the customer. Its all very cloak and dagger...states make up their own laws in all different kinds of ways, make up their own calibration settings, their own fees and rates...then certify companies and their devices who in turn contract out to installers who wont tell you anything. Current users of #$%$ technology would switch in a heartbeat to anything thats easy to use once they find out about it. or...they are just too lazy to research it and install the cheapest device they can find in their area and then complain about false positives and a host of other problems. So BDIC is in front of the power curve indeed...but need to inform the DUI offenders that there is a HUGE difference between devices and their technology.

COCOA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Cocoa Beach is cleaning up this morning after a tornado ripped the roof off a two-story condo building.
No injuries were reported.
The National Weather Service says the tornado touched down with 65-mile-an-hour winds yesterday.
The storm also pelted some areas with nickel-sized hail and knocked out service to two weather-radio broadcast towers.

Skip to comments.Bachmann Launches Presidential Campaign
Posted on 06/27/2011 9:05:43 AM PDT by bjorn14
Rep. Michele Bachmann, stressing her Iowa roots and appealing directly to Tea Party voters, came out swinging Monday as she formally launched her campaign for president.
Buoyed by a strong showing in several recent polls, the Minnesota congresswoman cast her campaign as the voice for "constitutional conservatives" looking for a government that lives within its means while giving the private sector the room to grow. She launched a broadside against President Obama for racking up too much debt while stimulating too little job growth and vowed to make him a "one-term president."
"We cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama," she declared, later adding: "We can win in 2012 and we will win."
In her announcement, Bachmann described a special bond with Iowa, the nation's leadoff caucus state. She held the kickoff in her hometown of Waterloo, Iowa, and called herself a "descendent of generations of Iowans," saying the state is where she learned "everything I needed to know." She also appealed to another vital primary constituency, calling herself part of the Tea Party movement and defending it as a cross-section of Republicans, independents and disaffected Democrats.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
WARNING TO MS. BACHMANN... Ahead in Iowa, pulling even in NH... major slime attack coming from the Lefties and GOP establishment.
To win Iowa would be a rocket start for Bachman because it makes voters blink, no matter who wins, and they give a listen to that winner. New Hampshire and South Carolina follow. She could split those two states with Romney's best chance probably NH.
I fear this scenario. BAchman is beating Romney, then Palin or Perry step in splitting the conservative vote and Romney gets the nod.
There was apparently just over 200 people there, should have been more
And cultists on FR.
Dear FOX News;
Please keep your Romney cheerleading "journalists" away from Bachmann in future.
I fear this scenario. BAchman is beating Romney, then Palin or Perry step in splitting the conservative vote and Romney gets the nod.
True dat.
I am going to support Bachmann until Rick Perry decides to run. Perry/Bachman would be a very strong ticket in 2012
Nope! Only one of those 3 will get the majority of the conservative vote if they run at the same time and like Rush said, if Palin gets in then she will be the one to beat, she already has a built-in base that is itching to go and support her and within days her coffers will be overflowing, that's a fact.
I don't know how many were there.
But how do you get to the conclusion that there was something wrong.
If she's tied with Romney in a Des Moines Register poll, something is going right.
To ignore that, and claim the number at her announcement was too low, as if something is wrong, lacks common sense.
Obama's stimulus plan failed to produce jobs to dent 8% unemployment before the 2010 election. She has to walk the talk. What is her unemployment goal before the 2014 elections?
PS I don't have a dog in this fight. I have the same question for all the contenders.
And some conservatives. Hope she's ready.
Then Bachmann getting in shouldn't worry any Palin fans. Because once Palin jumps most of Bachmann's support will shift to Palin, right?
I didn't say things were neccessarily wrong but I assume that if she is surging in Iowa then there should have been more if the account of 200 people is correct
At RightOnline she said the corporate tax rate needs to be reduced dramatically. She also talked about eliminating capital gains taxes and the death tax.
I thought she launched at the debates in SC. Kind of anti-climatic.
You have never read anything I wrote about being fretful of a Bachmann candidacy....Sarah has a built-in base and finiancial money ready to go in a flash, like Rush said: She will be the one to beat if she gets in
The hate for michelle is amazing. I read Yahoo posts and the slime being slung is sickening. But if we did half of what the libs are doing we would be called SEXIST, RACIST.
What is the difference between Bachmann and Palin?
Fair enough but those are her tax policies. She has to connect the dots on how many jobs that will produce before 2014.
This is the third "first announcement" for Ms. Bachmann.
Another Rollins confusion? or scheme.
She has to argue the conservative postion that the Government can't create jobs, only foster a healthy enviroment for business. The Government needs to get out of the "running the economy" business.
Does anyone know what church Michelle Bachmann and her husband attend?
I would like to see a debate between the two of them.
That seems a cop out when she blames Obama for not creating jobs. Anyway, the conservative position of hands off still has to answer the question - how many jobs will it produce before the 2014 election?
Bachmann is a better speaker
Bachmann didn't quit halfway through
Bachmann can handle the media
I've been a Michele Bachmann fan for a while, but she keeps impressing me more and more!
Differences between these two women: Palin has half a governors' term executive political experience, while Michele has executive business experience. Michele is the better speaker, Sarah has the greater star power among conservatives. Both have good name recognition, with Sarah holding an edge in this area amidst positives and negatives. Sarah is a lightning rod - people love her and follow her like a cult, or absolutely loathe and detest her. She's positive. She's also perceived, whether fairly or not, as somewhat light and absent-minded. I know in my heart that this is only perception and that Sarah is in fact an intelligent, patriotic, and capable leader... but could she convince the masses of this?
Michele has a certain Thatcher-like quality about her persona that I like. I could envision her giving a State of the Union address. Michele also has some things I don't like: a lawyer's background. But in presidential politics, that's pretty hard to avoid.
Asked to choose between them... I honestly could not give an answer at this moment. It's the candidates' jobs to court their base in the primary cycle.
The most substantial difference that I can see is that Sarah Palin is not officially running. The biggest concern I have is splitting of the conservative vote and landing us another Romney.
A very good point. I think that if Bachman is doing very well and has the right message, Sarah won't jump into the fray. Perry though... I don't know exactly who I'd pick in a matchup between those two. I know Perry has baggage, but as a sitting governor with loads of executive experience under his belt, and that ominous 1880 barrier date hanging over Bachman, it's a tossup. Of course after the disaster in 2008, all "odds" are in the wind anyway. But we can't afford to be wrong. Not this time. We can't afford to let either Romney or Obama win. Both a sure recipe for destruction.
I meant as far as policy and beliefs.
Like the tea parties is she only a "fiscal conservative" ???....
A hatred that's reserved only for conservative women who libs feel have a good chance of winning the nomination. The Left despises real women with a ferocity unequaled.
The likelihood that 2 tea party conservatives will stay in the race, neck and neck, each getting votes, in primary after primary, is slim.
Either Palin or Bachmann will be ahead of the other, and the other will drop out.
They have to make sure they're nice to each other, so that when one drops out, the other will get their support. The same is true, pretty much, with any tea party candidate.
Perhaps a reality check!!! Who gave her the poll bounce but MSM? Who do you think does the polling for DEM REG?
Not suggesting that MB has no support in Iowa, for sure she does, just not that it`s anyway near what they are pushing.
To believe this poll, one has to believe that Romney is out front.
Is team Romney now going to re evaluate taking part in the IOWA Straw Poll etc? Team Romney knows they are not a player in Iowa, and they are not about to all of a sudden believe this poll....
UNLESS it`s a poll to try and manufacture support for Romney in Iowa! The same people would want to manufacture support for MB as well.
Ya so Romney is now a player in IOWA, I bet he is the most surprised person on the planet./.SARC
Next we will hear that Rudy has a chance in IOWA.
ANTI PALIN media/pollsters/rep establishment is pushing MB!!!!
Really? What camera is she speaking to? Obama is also a great 'speaker'. Nice qualification, there.
Bachmann didnt quit halfway through
She also hasn't sponsored a single piece of legislation.
can handle the media
Yeah, that flake question was a template for how to go after the LSM.
Oh, baloney.
Truly great news and a very good person to be able to vote for. Certainly a breath of fresh air, for my family. We were so concerned that a RINO was going ruin this election...we would have written in a name, rather than vote for a RINO.
Just win-ism, is not going to be a part of our lives.
I was born in Waterloo.Iowa. grew up close by........
Good thing the caption reads *gathering* not crowd.
Palin fans "worried"???
Who's worried? Name one. Most of the negatives on FR towards Bachmann didn't start happening until she backstabbed Palin. You'll notice that is when 90% of the negatives from Palin supporters started. And now, we have gotten to see her in action some & things we have dismissed before or overlooked, we simply aren't willing to anymore. It has always bothered me that she has trouble actually answering specific questions asked of her. She hires people who have no respect for her & THAT also makes me question her judgement.
Perry would likely take more votes from Romney than anyone else so I don't see his entry into the race as a problem. It would end up being Perry vs. a more conservative alternative.

Very good... Works awesomeThe Staedtler chisel tip highlighter pen is very very good. It works awesome and there are also six colours so that if by chance one highlighter is missing we have six more colours. The purple highlighter it is also shown if we print the paper.
