Fat lot of good it's done President Barack Obama to pose as The Great Compromiser. The more "Grand Bargains" he's proposed, the further Republicans have fled in the opposite direction.
With yet another round of budgetary hostage-taking and government shutdowns threatened this autumn — throwing Americans out of work and stifling the economy — isn't it time Obama adjusted to GOP radicalism?
Historian Rick Perlstein ("Nixonland") put it this way to MSNBC's Steve Kornacki: "Barack Obama is constitutionally incapable of saying, 'we have adversaries.' That every time a Democratic president comes in that they handle the government more effectively. Every time a Democratic president comes in, they create more jobs than the Republicans. But to say that would be constitutionally impossible for Obama because he needs to tell this story about reconciliation — there is no Red America, there is no Blue America."
Nobody made Obama endorse deficit cutting as the centerpiece of his economic policy. But he ought to notice that with the federal budget deficit shrinking at an unprecedented rate — the FY2013 shortfall will be less than half of the $1.3 trillion gap George W. Bush left behind — GOP leaders keep falsifying reality.
On "Fox News Sunday," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor brazenly insisted that Congress should be "focused on trying to deal with the ultimate problem, which is this growing deficit." What's worse? If Cantor knows he's blowing smoke or doesn't know?
Neither did anybody make Obama embrace the misleading metaphor about how in tough times governments need to tighten their belts like families. Almost every family borrows to finance long-term purchases; government needs to invest for the future, too.
Unlike your family, the government can create money. It's precisely when private enterprises can't invest that government should. By accepting the "belt tightening" metaphor, Obama even made it harder to credit the 2009 stimulus bill's role in halting the economy's free-fall.
With an allegedly "Socialist" president talking like a GOP banker, the radicalism of the Republican right has become invisible to many. In Arkansas, we have a libertarian hero named Tom Cotton running for the U.S. Senate. Tax-hating billionaires are promoting him.
Cotton announced from his (childhood) home in Yell County, Ark. Previous to World War II, this bucolic paradise was basically the Third World. Like much of the rural South, Yell County had hardly any paved roads, and no electricity, telephones or public utilities. Also no physicians, dentists nor even veterinarians.
People grew what they ate using horse and mule power. They raised chickens, butchered hogs and steers and canned vegetables. Education was rudimentary.
It's easy to be nostalgic about this kind of life if you're never tried it.
Then came the accursed federal government with its highway and bridge building, its rural electrification, sewer and water grants, its agricultural agents and crop insurance, its Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, its Ozark and Ouchita National Forests, its Arkansas River navigation system and Lake Dardanelle. State parks, public universities, Pell grants, student loans, food stamps, etc.
All a terrible mistake, judging by Cotton's rhetoric: that wasteful government spending encourages parasitism and sloth. His campaign slogan may as well be: "Back to 1935." He even voted to slash food stamps, although nearly 25 percent of his Yell County neighbors — nearly all white — receive assistance. He'd decimate government expenditures to restore a libertarian paradise that never existed.
You'd think even a mushmelon like Arkansas' Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor could make Cotton look foolish. But only if he talks like a Democrat, which brings us back to President Obama.
There are signs that the president may be coming around. In recent speeches, Obama has called for the kinds of public investments that once made this country the envy of the world.
"We've got more than 100,000 bridges that are old enough to qualify for Medicare," he said in Illinois. "And yet, as a share of our economy, we invest less in our infrastructure than we did two decades ago."
At a time when corporations are squeezing workers dry, Obama also called for a sharp increase in the minimum wage.
No, House Republicans won't vote for any of this. They won't support anything sensible or realistic. So Obama needs to talk over their heads.
People have forgotten the economic policies that made America great. It's the president's job to remind them.

Kung Fu Panda 2 for Kinect
The website, Xbox Gaming, says that Kung Fu Panda 2 the video game for the Xbox 360 will be out alongside the movie in the US at the end of May.
The game will include Kinect support which "allows players to transform into Po as they block, dodge, duck, punch and kick their way to restoring the balance of power and save kung fu forever." It will also have "never-before-seen" enemy units exclusive to the game.
Mary Beth Haggerty, THQ's Vice President of Product Development, Kids, Family and Casual Games says in a press release, "Kung Fu Panda 2 brings enormous innovation and creativity to build on the excitement of the movie. The team brought unique elements to each platform so players can have a different experience with the same great story."
"Kung Fu Panda 2" in 3D
(AP) The 2008 original Kung Fu Panda took in $630 million worldwide in just two dimensions. But the sequel due out May 26 will be in 3-D, with the extra box-office revenue that generally follows as fans shell out a few dollars more to gain the illusion of depth.
Black said the 3-D action will make "King Fu Panda 2" more of a thrill ride, dropping viewers right into the heart of the battles.
"My feeling is that 3-D with the right people, the right artists and technicians flying it, is amazing and definitely enhances the experience for the right movie," Black said. "'Kung Fu Panda 2'? Yes, it will make it more exciting and dynamic and amazing to watch. Whereas, let's say, there was going to be 'My Dinner with Andre 2.' I would say not necessary to do 3-D."
The sequel reunites Black with a voice cast that includes Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Seth Rogen, Jackie Chan and Lucy Liu. Gary Oldman joins the lineup to provide the voice of a new villain, a peacock who unleashes a deadly new weapon in the ancient Chinese realm that Black's Po and his comrades are sworn to defend.
Black said he's game to do a third "Kung Fu Panda" movie. He has a busy live-action slate ahead, too, reuniting with his "School of Rock" director Richard Linklater for the black comedy "Bernie," about a man whose friendship with an elderly woman (Shirley MacLaine) goes terribly wrong, and co-starring with Steve Martin and Owen Wilson in "The Big Year," about rivals in an annual bird-watching competition.
"Whenever there are grown men competing tooth-and-nail over something that seems sort of ridiculous, there's a lot of comedy there," Black said.
Black also has a cameo in this holiday season's new big-screen take on "The Muppets," playing a "darker, angrier version of myself."
"I'm kidnapped," Black said. "Basically, I get kidnapped by the Muppets."

For the second time in five months, a powerful earthquake has struck one of the largest cities in New Zealand.
The 6.3 magnitude quake hit Christchurch at the height of a busy workday, toppling tall buildings and churches and killing at least 65 people. The temblor sent thousands of dazed residents racing out into the streets.
"It is just a scene of utter devastation," Prime Minister John Key said after rushing to the city within hours of the quake. He warned the death toll could rise.
"We may well be witnessing New Zealand's darkest day," he said.
CBN News New Zealand partner Shine TV reported that neighbors reached out to help one another in the aftermath.
"We grabbed our neighbors and we just put our arms around them and prayed," Christchurch resident John said. "They're not Christians. People were in such shock that we gathered them together and prayed with them."
He asked Christians worldwide to pray for the people in Christchurch.
"They're very upset. They're very shocked. There will be serious injuries if not deaths. It's been a very violent shake," John said.
Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker declared a state of emergency and ordered the city center to be evacuated. Authorities estimated that more than 100 people remain trapped in the rubble.
"The government is willing to throw everything it can in the rescue effort," Deputy Prime Minister Bill English said. "Time is going to be of essence."

Small Business Lending Demand Remains Strong In March 2013
Small business lending demand hit its highest level of 2013 in March, according to the Monthly Small Business Lending Index released by Direct Capital.
The index showed that small business lending demand across the United States in March was up 4.5% over February. Year-over-year demand increased as well. The index found that demand in March 2013 was up by 36% over March 2012. That continues a trend of increased demand over 2012 previously observed in both February and January.
The news shows that despite a mix of positive and negative economic news, small businesses are targeting growth in 2013 and seeking capital to do so. The most recent National Federation of Independent Business survey found that business confidence increased to 90.8% for last month, a modest but appreciable increase from the beginning of the year.
"March has more business days than February, so we don't want to overplay the increased demand that our data models are showing," said Stephen Lankler, Senior Vice President at Direct Capital. "But, the Index continues to report that small business lending demand is up considerably over 2012. And that's exactly what we are seeing within our business. So, we are still very bullish on the small business economy despite conflicting reports from the media."

Portable Air Conditioners are a Versatile and Mobile Cooling Solution
Portable air conditioners are an alternative cooling solution that is able to be easily moved when needed elsewhere. Residential portable air conditioners range from 7,000 to 14,000 BTUs and are meant to cool areas up to 600 sq. ft. Commercial portable air conditioners are offered in both water cooled and air cooled models and range from 13,000 to 120,000 BTUs. These powerful units are meant to cool special equipment in large warehouses or factories.
Since portable air conditioners are essential air movers, moving out hot air and replacing it with cooled air, they have to an outlet for the ventilation of warm air and moisture. Many residential portable air conditioners are vented through a nearby window using an included window vent kit, but accessories are available for ceiling and sliding door ventilation. Many commercial portable air conditioners are vented through the ceiling. Depending on the situation, other ventilation applications can be used. Other portable air conditioner accessories include window locks, filters, and remote controls.
When shopping for a portable air conditioner, you'll want to focus on the cooling power and square footage the unit can cover. These two units of measurement typically coincide; larger BTUs are associated with larger coverage.
There are many benefits to using a portable air conditioner rather than a traditional cooling system. Other than the mobility factor, you have the ability to spot cool areas of habitation or concern, rather than using an entire central system. In commercial settings, portable air conditioners can be used to cool special equipment on weekends and after hours, giving business owners the freedom to use central systems less.

Gov. Christie, while serving as U.S. attorney, billed taxpayers for luxury hotels on trips and routinely failed to follow federal travel regulations, according to a report released Monday.
The report, released by the U.S. Department of Justice's inspector general, found that while many U.S. attorneys and their subordinates approved their own travel and expenses, the vast majority complied with the approved government lodging rate.
However, the investigation found, "a small number of U.S. attorneys routinely exceeded the government rate, by large amounts, with insufficient, inaccurate, or no justification."

Erie police collect more information in fatal shooting
Erie police investigators said a man ran through yards and hopped fences before he eventually fell into some bushes outside two houses in the 700 block of East 10th Street early Friday.
Travon D. Green, 20, of Erie, had been shot and would later die of a gunshot wound to his back.
The unknown shooter remained at large Monday.
A cell phone belonging to Green was found in a backyard, but no other physical evidence had been collected as of Monday in the homicide probe, Erie police Deputy Chief Donald Dacus said.
Detectives were still trying to determine through interviews the exact location of the shooting, Dacus said, adding that investigators are "getting closer to finding the area."
"At this point investigators are still following up on some leads that have been called in, and they are collecting and analyzing new information," he said.
Erie police out on patrol were in the area of East 10th and Parade streets shortly before 1 a.m. Friday when they heard four to six gunshots that they thought were possibly coming from the area of East 10th and Wayne streets, investigators said. The officers searched the area but found nothing.
Within 10 minutes, officers were sent to the 700 block of East 10th Street after two females found Green.
Green was taken to UPMC Hamot, where he was pronounced dead at 2:15 a.m.
Dacus said detectives were speaking to people on Monday, and they were hopeful those interviews would shed more light on what was going on Thursday night and early Friday that resulted in Green being shot.
"I just want to know why. He had nothing to do with anything out here. Why would they kill him like that?" said Pamela Simmelkjaer of the East Side Eagles Neighborhood Watch, which covers an area between East Seventh and East 11th streets, from Parade to Wayne streets.
The fatal shooting was the second to occur in the watch area this year. Eleven other people were injured in shootings in the area since Jan. 1.
"We've got the highest crime rate in the city of Erie, and we have no help down here. We're very upset. We need more help," Simmelkjaer said.
Anyone with information that could assist Erie police in the homicide investigation is asked to call Erie police Detective Paul Bizzarro at 870-1163, Detective Matthew Gustafson at 870-1205 or the Erie police officer in charge at 870-1120.

Artist Morgan Weistling will present his oil paintings at B&R Art Gallery in Canyon Country this Saturday, Oct. 16, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Winner of the 2010 Patron's Choice Award from the Autry National Heritage Museum show, Masters of the American West, Weistling has made fine art the focus of his art career and the collector demand for his originals has been overwhelming.
With his masterful use of oils, Weistling brings a scene to life with spectacular lighting, creating a sense of wonder and engaging the viewer's imagination and emotion.
Weistling will meet and talk with collectors and sign books at the show, and there will be wine tasting for attendees, plus a door prize of a framed Morgan Weistling canvas giclee. An "original" Morgan Weistling painting will be available for purchase. In addition to Weistling's art, the gallery has an eclectic mix of local and international art on display.

The Window at Night
By Jennifer Grotz
Eyes wide like an owl's, an aspirin-pale face
foretells in lamplight how it accumulates age.
Somewhat masked, somewhat naked, there's no way
to know what others see when looking at it.
All five of the body's senses crowd
on this small planet a weather of hair surrounds.
My face is not a democracy — the eyes are tyrants
and the ears are radical dissenters.
In the conversations of eyebrows, mine are whispers.
Like the window at night, the face reflects too,
uncertain how to change when greeting itself
(and is it not cruel when another's face
won't reflect acknowledgment of you?).
My mother, my father, and my brother are found
in the blurring of feature and expression.
Cynicism finds no purchase here;
the same cannot be said for sadness
(and look deeper — anger hides in the jaw).
And while the nose quietly broods
like an actor rehearsing his soliloquy,
the empty page of the forehead, when I raise my brows,
fills suddenly with questions.
Rochester-based poet, critic and literary translator JENNIFER GROTZ will read from her work at 2 p.m. today in the auditorium of Buffalo State College's Burchfield Penney Art Center. She is the author of two collections of poetry, "The Needle" (2011) and "Cusp" (2003), both published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

By Maj. Gen. James M. MilanoMarch 3, 2011
FORT JACKSON, S.C. -- March is American Red Cross Month. It is a time each year that we set aside to recognize and show our appreciation for the work that this great organization does. If it were not for a presidential proclamation, the fact that March is Red Cross Month might escape you merely because of the humble way the Red Cross goes about its business.
The organization epitomizes and personifies the American spirit. Its unsung heroes illustrate exactly what it really means to extend help and care for victims in disasters. A month does not seem long enough for us to properly recognize an organization that has done so much relief work in its 130 years of existence.
The organization was founded in 1881 and has not missed a beat in responding to natural disasters and emergency circumstances related to the casualties of war. We certainly appreciate the work the Red Cross performs each day, and particularly in times of disasters. Focusing on disaster relief is just one of the important services provided by the Red Cross.
Fort Jackson is serviced by the Red Cross Chapter of Central South Carolina. Last year the Central South Carolina chapter provided $225,000 in disaster grants to victims to help pay for the food, lodging and immediate needs or victims following a residential fire or other disaster in Richland County. Some of the affected families have Fort Jackson connections.
Disaster relief is only one important component of the Red Cross mission. Red Cross workers and volunteers handle all types of support services. Red Cross volunteers deliver messages to Soldiers from family members. Last year, the Red Cross delivered more than 14,000 emergency messages to military members on Fort Jackson.
During an average month, Soldiers here on post receive approximately 200 Red Cross messages from family members. Some of those messages unfortunately deal with serious injuries, illnesses or death. The Red Cross volunteers who often must deliver the bad news have a very difficult and delicate mission. They have handled these situations admirably.
Red Cross volunteers also can be found at health clinics, the WTU and the Family Life and Resiliency Center. They help greet patients at Moncrief Army Community Hospital, as well as assist in the labs and pharmacy. They provide chaperones for examinations and transport patients between the clinics.
The Red Cross also directly supports the training mission here on Fort Jackson. It provides valuable information to Soldiers in Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training, as well as to their families, deploying Soldiers, and the service members at Task Force Marshall on how to prepare for disasters and how to contact service members in the event of a family emergency.
The Red Cross is also at the forefront of the blood drives and donations on post. The local impact is huge. Unfortunately, because of the severe winter that we have experienced this year, there is currently a critical blood shortage. I ask you that you consider making a donation. There will be opportunities March 18 at the Balfour Beatty Community Center and March 23 at MACH. Details about both drives will be printed in the Fort Jackson Leader.
I ask that we all make an effort sometime this month to show some appreciation in some form or another to this great American institution.
Consider a charitable donation, a donation of blood or a positive ICE comment. Or simply walk up to a worker or volunteer and tell him or her just how important he or she is to our mission.
Army Strong and Victory Starts Here!

ASUS turned more than a few heads with its original
Eee PC 401. The $399 device came out of nowhere and stole the hearts of
many computer enthusiasts (and non-enthusiasts). Over time, ASUS released models
that slotted under
and above
the original 4G model and added more colorful options.
Earlier this month, details began
to leak on the Eee PC 900. The Eee PC 900 features an 8.9", 1024x600
display (up from a 7", 800x480 display) along with more SSD storage space
(8GB for Windows XP, 12GB for Xandros Linux).
It was later revealed that the slightly
larger Eee PC 900 will support HDDs in the future along with Intel's Diamondville-based Intel Atom processor for increased
battery life and performance in comparison to the existing Celeron-M. "In
the near future, we also are trying to support one-day computing which would
provide more than 8 hours. I think in May we might be closer to providing
that," said ASUS CEO Jerry Shen.
Other options that will come to the Eee PC lineup in the
future include WiMAX and HSDPA.
Today, however, we were all greeted with a wealth of new
information (and pictures) on the new Eee PC 900. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) website is abuzz with a new entry detailing ASUS' latest and
greatest. The FCC entry provides numerous pictures of the Eee PC 900 from the
inside and the outside along with the device's user manual.
Perusing through the pictures
and manuals, we learn that despite what ASUS' CEO previously mentioned, the
power adapter used for the new Eee PC 900 is much larger than the original Eee
PC 401. While not a deal-breaker for many people, it's something to take note
of for travel purposes.
The internal photos also show that the Eee PC now has
Bluetooth. This is a welcome addition for mobile warriors that use Bluetooth
mice and don't want to carry around an addition Bluetooth dongle or RF dongle
for traditional wireless mice.
Also new to the Eee PC 900 is what it calls "Multi-finger
gesture input". This allows users to perform iPhone/iPod touch-esque
gestures such as "pinching" to zoom in and out in applications.
If pricing holds firm at the previously reported $500 for
the Eee PC 900, this could make quite a popular entry with consumers. Throw in
the rumored touch screen and GPS and things could get really interesting.
Now if only ASUS could deliver on the original
$199 promise...
quote: i've said it before, but here i'll say it again: these things are getting to expensive for what they are.
quote: At first glance the CloudBook is an impressive design with some innovative features and some reasonably impressive specs for the $400 price tag. However, upon closer examination it's clear that VIA and Everex had to make a number of sacrifices to bring this ultra-mobile notebook to the market for such a low price.The low-capacity slow hard drive, and slow overall performance make the CloudBook a less than compelling purchase compared to the current generation Asus Eee PC 4G ... despite the much smaller storage space. The fact that the CloudBook cannot support the correct resolutions for widescreen external monitors is another problem for anyone who wants to connect this laptop to a larger screen. The issue of excessive heat build up inside the CloudBook is perhaps the most obvious "deal killer." Who wants to own a laptop that you can only use for 30-45 minutes when connected to the internet before you have to turn it off and let it cool down?I do have to say the high-resolution scaling on the tiny screen and 30GB of storage space are very nice features, but these benefits pale in comparison to the other problems and limitations the CloudBook brings to the table. In short, I have a hard time recommending the current generation of the Everex CloudBook for any consumer. Given the strength of the Asus Eee PC and upcoming budget subnotebooks from other manufacturers, there simply isn't a compelling reason to purchase the CloudBook.
quote: Off Topic - Personally I think gaming and high-end processing on a notebook has always been a lost cause. Even if you do get a high-end system it's out of date in a year and you can't upgrade the video card or processor. There is no way I'd spend $2000+ on something that has such a small life span.
