Skip to comments.McCain raises money, praises Romney.
Posted on 06/10/2008 8:04:38 PM PDT by Plutarch
WASHINGTON - Republican presidential candidate John McCain spent a marathon day raising money on Monday, and it went well: after events in Virginia and Washington, D.C., the campaign and the Republican Party pulled in more than $2 million...
Finally, there was praise for his opponent-turned-supporter, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Theres nobody who represents me better today than Mitt Romney, McCain said.
Are you listening, governor? That could be the sound of a vice presidential offer coming down the road

Better Mitt Romney as VP than Mike Huckabee!
I sure would like it if McCain would pick Romney. It would help to get me motivated on election day. Of course, I know there are other good candidates out there. As things stand right now I don't know what I will do on election day. This is an odd situation.
Get Mitt. He'd be good.
Thankfully I doubt he'd tap the Huckster.
The Huckster is just a lying shyster. We really don't need another one like that. He's a socialist with humanistic religious views.
I sure would like it if McCain would pick Romney. It would help to get me motivated on election day.
Same here. McPain turns me off.
Good evening, Mr. Bates! :-)
I second that YEAH............
I find Huckabee to be of dubious character. The guy seems like a put on. I don't care that he says he is a preacher. As Reverend Wright proved, that title doesn't mean a thing.
Those were indeed some very gracious words by Mr. McCain about Mr. Romney.
I like Mark Sanford but I have to admit that Mitt and McCain probably create a more dynamic mix. Mitt fills the criteria that McCain has set, that the VP at least generally supports his policies and represents the future of the Republican Party. I'd be happy with either.
Honestly and seriously, I can't think of anyone but Mr. Romney as the VP. He's one of the very, very few who's shown he's willing to step up and lead. Maybe Rudy, that's it. But I don't think Mr. Romney will be Mr. McCain's VP pick. I think Mr. Romney's job is raising money for he GOP with his new PAC.
Lets hope not. It'll be difficult enough for many conservatives to vote for a moderate like McCain, without tossing in a life long liberal like Romney as his running mate. A poor choice and a bad decision all around.
The Mittster rides again?
Sounds like it's a setup for Mitt to be VP. No surprise here. Make it official NOW, get a message and run with it. The 'Rats will be in disarray at least until August.
I bet he picks someone like Raul Castro, except US citizenship to make it "legal". I don't know if I will vote. This McCain knife in my back may be my mortality.
And, I agree completely.
(Unless the two would consider a little trade of places... nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.)
I don't know. Mitt didn't quite make the sale with voters but he got a lot of exposure - and respect. I can picture him as VP and eventually President.
McCain should pick Romney to focus on the ECONOMY and getting this country on a roll month after month again. Let Romney talk about economy during the election and let McCain talk about the war on terrorism. Those are the two key things this country needs even more now. You have the two BEST individuals to discuss and handle those situations.
A lot of voters voted for Mr. Romney, but even more recognized Mr. Romney either as their choice or a great candidate too late.
You are making me nauseous
19th amendment worse thing ever to happen, please tell us how this cult member is a conservative again?
If Romney is the pick I would like to have him do one thing. That is to promise the people of Ohio and Michigan that he will be in their states every month during the term and will do every thing in his power to get their economies back on track. These are two highly educated states in the doldrums. Ohio must be tired of the Republican snow jobs.
Evenin' Ma'am!
He said it to Michigan, and I believe he meant it.
Sounds like a good strategy.
I would be perfectly happy with Sanford but Romney brings the most to the table - swings states, private sector experience, a compelling story (olympic turnaround), charisma, intelligence, and debating chops.
We're in this to win. Join the team. No pie in the sky fantasy is coming to politically save us.
What kool-aid are you people drinking. Mitt Romney
is a liberal big government , Reagan bashing abortion supporting turncoat who "became" conservative 2 years
prior to his Presidential run.
And some of you have the balls to complain about McCain not being conservative enough .. but you fall for the Mitt
Romney BS ...
I like your idea of a dual campaign. Almost, I would call it, a Super-campaign. Romney is intelligent enough to be able to campaign on his own and not have to be led around on a leash. McCain and Romney could cover a lot of ground seperately both politically and geographically.

"Every piece of legislation which came to my desk [as] governor, I came down on the side of preserving the sanctity of life."
--Mitt Romney, NBC "Meet the Press", December 16, 2007.
It is becoming difficult for Mitt Romney to keep track of his twists and turns on the abortion issue. The photograph above shows Romney back in June 1994 during his first big political campaign, running against Sen. Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts. It was taken at a fund-raiser for the pro-abortion rights group, Planned Parenthood, in Cohasset, Mass. The woman with her back to Romney is Nicki Nichols Gamble, former president of the Massachusetts branch of Planned Parenthood, which accepted a $150 contribution from Romney's wife Ann (in a white jacket to Romney's right.)
The "pro-choice" candidate for senator, and later governor, of Massachusetts is now the "pro-life" candidate for president of the United States. His record as governor is controversial, however. Interviewed by Tim Russert on "Meet the Press" last Sunday, Romney claimed that he took a "pro-life" position on "every piece of legislation" that came before him. But that is untrue, at least by his present definition of what constitutes "life."
Romney announced his conversion to "pro-life" views in an editorial in the Boston Globe on July 25, 2005, the day after vetoing a bill expanding access to the so-called "morning after" pill, which required that it be made available to rape victims. See my detailed and updated chronology here. Abortion rights groups such as Planned Parenthood expressed shock at the governor's change of heart, after he had personally signed a pledge to support increased access to the "morning after" pill. "Pro-Life" groups hailed the decision.
That was not the end of the story, however. The controversy over "emergency contraception" continued to haunt Romney. In October 2005, another bill came to his desk, seeking a federal waiver to expand the number of Massachusetts citizens eligible for family planning services, including the "morning after" pill. Romney signed that bill over the objections of his new anti-abortion allies. On this occasion, he was applauded by "pro-choice" advocates.
The issue came up yet again in December 2005. After weeks of agonizing, Romney instructed all hospitals in the state to comply with the terms of the emergency contraception law, and make the morning-after pill available to rape victims. He acted on the advice of his legal counsel, over the objections of half a dozen Catholic hospitals, which had previously refused to provide emergency contraception on the grounds that it conflicted with their religious views.
"Flip,flop,flip," editorialized the Boston Herald, on December 9, 2005. "Yes, Gov. Mitt Romney has now executed an Olympic-caliber double flip-flop with a gold medal-performance twist-and-a-half on the issue of emergency contraception."
Views on the acceptability of the "morning after" pill vary greatly, depending on exactly how you define "life." Many "pro-life" advocates, including Romney, take the view that life begins at the moment when a female egg is fertilized by the male sperm. They are opposed to the "morning after" pill, because it can prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus. "Pro-choice" groups argue that life begins much later.
Romney's gyrations on abortion have upset both sides. "For Mitt Romney, this has been not just a flip-flop, but an extreme makeover," said Angus McQuilken, vice president for public affairs with the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts. "Where he stands on any issue is always a moving target."
"I don't see how he can sign bills like that and say with a straight face that he is taking a pro-life position," said Joseph M. Scheidler, founder of the Pro-Life Action League, which is opposed to all forms of abortion. "There's no way we can accept that.".
UPDATE THURSDAY 11:30 A.M.: I just spoke with Nichols Gamble, the Planned Parenthood official who accepted the $150 cheque from the Romneys in June 1994. She says she had no reason to believe at the time that Romney was "not 100 percent behind the pro-choice public policy position." She now thinks that Romney "tried to have it both ways and every way to Sunday" on abortion, depending on what political office he was seeking.
Romney has changed his position so often on abortion that he lacks much credibility on this one. The Romney campaign did not respond to a e-mailed request to clarify the governor's position, so he loses the argument by default on this occasion. Three Pinocchios.
Don't mind the deranged twenty - they are cursed with the monomaniacal task of destroying the Romney, but must fail in the end. After all, how can you destroy something that creates faster than you can think? Love the new PAC.
Romney joined NRA in August
Was advocate of gun control
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney was a former advocate of gun control. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney was a former advocate of gun control.
By David Abel, Globe Staff | February 19, 2007
Mitt Romney, who has touted his support of gun owners since launching his presidential campaign, yesterday acknowledged he did not become a member of the National Rifle Association until last August, campaign officials said.
A former advocate of gun control, Romney during his 1994 run for the US Senate backed measures the gun-rights group opposed, such as a five-day waiting period on gun sales and a ban on certain assault weapons.
The former Massachusetts governor has been criticized for changing his positions to appeal to social conservatives voting in Republican primaries. In a nationally broadcast interview yesterday, he also had to explain his switch to a conservative stance on abortion and why he once voted for Democrats in Massachusetts primaries.
Spokesman Kevin Madden said Romney did not join the NRA just to court gun owners, who are considered a force in Republican primary politics.
"He joined the NRA because, like millions of Americans, he supports the group's advocacy of the Second Amendment and its commitment to education programs promoting the safe use of firearms by law-abiding gun owners," Madden said.
More coverage of the 2008 presidential race
Asked why Romney joined only a few months before declaring his candidacy, Madden said: "I would argue not many Americans care when you join, but why you join, and I think I've made that clear."
Speaking on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," Romney said he signed up for a life long membership "within the last year."
"I think they're doing good things, and I believe in supporting the right to bear arms," Romney said.
Not all gun advocates are convinced of Romney's commitment to their cause.
"His past votes have been anti-gun and I feel like it may just be a campaign strategy that we're not going to fall for," said Gerald Stoudemire, president of Gun Owners of South Carolina, an NRA state association. "I've never seen a politician change their way of thinking 180 degrees, except when they were running for office."
In the interview, Romney also explained why he was a registered independent in the early 1990s and voted for former senator Paul Tsongas in the 1992 Democratic presidential primary. He said it was a tactical maneuver, his effort to get the weakest Democratic nominee.
"In Massachusetts, if you register as an independent, you can vote on either the Republican or Democratic primary," Romney said. "When there was no real contest in the Republican primary, I'd vote in the Democrat primary, vote for the person who I thought would be the weakest opponent for a Republican."
But in a 1994 Globe story, Romney said he voted for Tsongas because he was from Massachusetts and "because he favored his ideas over those of Bill Clinton," according to the story.Continued...
In yesterday's interview on ABC, Romney added: "Let me tell you, in the general election I don't recall ever once voting for anyone other than a Republican. So, yeah, as an independent I'll go in and play in their primary. But I'm a Republican and have been through my life."
Romney's explanation that he voted for Tsongas because he would be a weaker opponent for George H.W. Bush struck Northeastern University political science professor William Mayer as odd. "It would have been a strange election to cross over," he said, noting it's rare for more than 4 percent of voters to "raid" an opposing party's primary. "Everyone had conceded it to Tsongas."
He added: "His explanation gets to his basic problem. He's always trying to figure out what's in his best political interest and is willing to cut and trim his behavior to what's in his short-term interests."
In the interview, in which Stephanopoulos questioned the governor's "conversions of convenience," Romney, a former supporter of abortion rights, refused to say which punishment he thought would be appropriate for women who have abortions. In recent months, Romney has campaigned strongly against abortion rights.
"Well, I'm not about punishment," Romney said. "That's not what I'm considering. I'm saying that, in my view, we should let the states make that decision, and I am in favor of life and in favor of choosing life."
With his wife, Ann, on ABC, Romney also said his faith as a Mormon would not hinder his ability to govern.
"I'm not running for pastor-in-chief; I'm running for commander-in-chief," Romney said.
Asked whether his Mormonism would alienate evangelical voters, Romney said: "I think we are, if you will, one family of humanity."
When asked how Muslims might view Mormon doctrine, which holds that Jesus will return to the United States and reign for 1,000 years, Romney said "that doesn't happen to be a doctrine of my church."
"Our belief is just as it says in the Bible, that the messiah will come to Jerusalem, stand on the Mount of Olives, and that the Mount of Olives will be the place for the great gathering and so forth," he said.
Michael Purdy, a spokesman for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said Mormons believe Jesus will return to both the "old Jerusalem" and "new Jerusalem," which Mormons believe is somewhere in the state of Missouri.
"When Christ appears, we believe there will be people of many faiths on the Earth, and no one will be compelled to change their faith," Purdy said.

Who cares about some (anti-)wish list. We have reality to deal with now. Romney will vote like a good Republican when the time comes. Things are different when you are forced to govern Massachusetts.
"Every piece of legislation which came to my desk [as] governor, I came down on the side of preserving the sanctity of life."
Ok, sounds good to me.
First I don't consider a $150 donation from millionaires a serious donation. It was wrong but it was in the past well over a decade ago. Get over it.
Romney jurist picks not tilted to GOP
Independents, Democrats get call
By Raphael Lewis, Globe Staff | July 25, 2005
Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans, has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced, instead tapping registered Democrats or independents — including two gay lawyers who have supported expanded same-sex rights, a Globe review of the nominations has found.
Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show. In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters, and 14 registered Democrats.
With increased attention on judicial nominees after President Bush's nomination of John G. Roberts Jr. to the US Supreme Court, Romney said Friday that he has not paid a moment's notice to his nominees' political leanings or sexual orientation — or to the impact his choices might have on a future presidential run. He said he has focused on two factors: their legal experience and whether the nominees would be tough on crime. He said most of the nominees have prosecutorial experience.
''People on both sides of the aisle want to put the bad guys away," Romney said.
Photo Gallery Romney's judicial picks
Romney, who is considering a run for the Republican nomination for president in 2008, has cast himself to GOP audiences as a lonely Republican voice in an overwhelmingly Democratic state. But his judicial appointments led one out-of-state activist to suggest the choices might hurt Romney among Republican voters. Observers in the Bay State legal community, meanwhile, said they see a contradiction between Romney's judicial choices and his conservative rhetoric, including his stated opposition to same-sex marriage.
''I've long since given up trying to figure out what makes Mitt Romney tick," said Joyce Kauffman, former cochairwoman of the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association.
The governor said that, so far, he has had few chances to appoint judges to the highest state courts, where his criteria would change to include ''strict construction, judicial philosophy."
''With regards to those at the district court and clerk magistrate level, their political views aren't really going to come into play unless their views indicate they will be soft on crime, because in that case, apply elsewhere," Romney said.
The Globe's review found that several of his choices for the bench in Massachusetts have strong ties to the state's dominant Democratic Party. He tapped a former Democratic Suffolk County sheriff, the sister of Boston's City Council president, a top official under Democratic Secretary of State William F. Galvin who once ran for the House seat of Republican leader Bradley H. Jones Jr., and a former intern for Democratic US Representative Joseph P. Kennedy who switched his party affiliation to the GOP two weeks before his nomination.Continued...Continued...
Romney, despite his opposition to same-sex marriage, in May selected for a district court judgeship Stephen S. Abany, a former board member of the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association who organized the group's opposition to a 1999 bill to outlaw same-sex marriage. Just two days before the nomination, Romney was lamenting the liberal tilt of the state's bench, telling Fox News that ''our courts have a record here in Massachusetts, don't they, of being a little blue and being Kerry-like."
Another Romney choice for the bench is Marianne C. Hinkle, a registered Democrat who worked as an aide to Governor Michael S. Dukakis in the late 1970s and prosecuted John C. Salvi III in the 1994 Brookline abortion clinic shootings. Hinkle, in her application for the bench, describes herself as a longtime active member of Dignity/USA, a group that advocates for expanded gay rights in the Catholic Church and society generally.
Romney won praise in the legal community when he replaced regional judicial nominating committees that were viewed as politically tainted with a centralized Judicial Nominating Commission. The commission considers applicants using a ''blind" first phase of the selection process that removes names from applications in an attempt to ensure the candidates will be judged on their merits. In addition, all of Romney's nominees have been submitted to a Joint Bar Committee on Judicial Nominations, which rates candidates as qualified, well-qualified, or unqualified — and each has been found to be either qualified or well-qualified.
After Romney nominates the candidate, the pick must be approved by the Governor's Council, where Democrats hold eight of nine seats. Some observers said the long list of Democrats among Romney's court picks suggests that the governor has at least one eye toward the political landscape of the state, where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans nearly 4 to 1.
''He's tried to have a process devoid of politics, [but] he also has to get his nominees approved by the Governor's Council, and that is not a bipartisan body," said Jones, of Reading. ''The biggest problem in trying to reform the system to make it devoid of politics is that not everyone else buys into that model."
Romney, asked if he has engaged in any horse-trading with Democratic politicians, said: ''So far I have not ever given any weight whatsoever to whether I think someone can make it through the Governor's Council. I send them individuals who I feel are highly qualified and have the right judicial temperament related to crime and punishment."
Romney has faced criticism from Governor's Councilors and some bar associations for failing to nominate more women, minorities, and defense attorneys to the bench. Seeking to counter such attacks, Romney's appointee to the chairmanship of the Judicial Nominating Commission, Boston lawyer Christopher D. Moore, has reached out to minority and women's bar associations to encourage members to apply. He's done the same with the state lesbian and gay bar association, which also has a seat on Romney's joint bar committee.
''This is one of my real goals, to continue this track record of reaching out by making full use of these organizations," said Moore. ''Since becoming the chairman, it's almost a universally held view that these organizations are the best forums for demystifying the process."
Whitney J. Brown, a registered Democrat with ''no connections" whom Romney nominated earlier this month for a clerk magistrate position in Gardner District Court, said she was shocked to even get an interview for the position, let alone the nomination.
''Everyone said to me, 'Good luck, you're not going to get anywhere,' " Brown said.
Still, there is evidence to suggest that Romney is making sure his fellow Republicans and conservatives get a piece of the action.
For one thing, Romney's choice to chair the Judicial Nomination Commission, Moore, is a Republican and member of the Federalist Society, a conservative legal group that fights ''judicial activism" and promotes the legal system as the preeminent venue for protecting ''traditional values." Romney also named to the commission Greer Tan Swiston, a software engineer and failed Republican candidate for state representative in 2004 with no legal training.
Peter Vickery, one of the Democrats on the Governor's Council, says he believes Romney and Moore would seek far more conservative jurists if a vacancy were to pop up on the Supreme Judicial Court, which delivered the gay marriage decision that Romney has routinely blasted.
Some of Romney's nominees do have stellar Republican or conservative bona fides. For example, Romney's pick for Peabody clerk magistrate, Kevin L. Finnegan, is a former two-term Republican state representative. Another choice was Bruce R. Henry, the son-in-law of former SJC Justice Joseph Nolan — whom Romney wanted to represent his administration in seeking a stay of the court's gay marriage ruling.
David L. Yas, editor of Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, a trade publication, said the perception among most Bay State lawyers is that Romney's administration, when it comes to screening out politics from the process, is not much different from past governors.
''People feel the process has made some improvements, but in the legal community, there is still a sentiment that politics still plays a role," Yas said.
Some in the bar say Romney has been slow to solve the dispute over pay raises for public defenders, and some lawyers resent his cries of judicial activism in the wake of the SJC's same-sex marriage ruling of November 2003.
''Those in the legal community take the independence of the judiciary very seriously, and when he derisively calls them unaccountable and activist, that gets the legal community steamed," Yas said. ''He hasn't exactly expressed great confidence or pride in our legal system."
Rick Beltram, chairman of the Spartanburg County, S.C., Republican Party that hosted a Romney fund-raiser in February, said South Carolina's Republican presidential primary voters may think twice about supporting a Massachusetts governor whose judicial picks had been ''actively lobbying for gay marriage."
''That could be a problem," Beltram said.
At the same time, Beltram said he suspects Romney's judicial choices reflect ''smart politics," given that Republicans constitute just 13 percent of Massachusetts registered voters.
Rome, to me, Mr. Romney is the best candidate (experience wise) that I have seen since I first started voting and voted for Ronald Reagan. His experience in both the private and public sectors is what we have been waiting for. McCain and Romney paired (I hope, but I'm not counting on it) is exactly what this country needs at the moment — one military/security specialist and one economic/business specialist. I want the best for our country.
Massachusetts RomneyCare way, way overbudget
From the Wall Street Journal (emphasis added):
For 2009, Governor Deval Patrick requested $869 million but has already conceded that even that huge figure is too low. Over the coming decade, the expected overruns float in as much as $4 billion over budget. It's too early to tell how much is new coverage or if state programs are displacing private insurance.
The "new Big Dig" moniker refers to the legendary cost overruns when Boston rebuilt its traffic system. Now state legislators are pushing new schemes to offset RomneyCare's runaway expenses, including reductions in state payments to doctors and hospitals, enlarged business penalties, an increase in the state tobacco tax, and more restrictions on drug companies and insurers.
Youve got two choices with universal health care. You can either increase taxes by vast unsupportable, politically untenable amounts; or you can limit access to care with cost-control methods. The former will chase wealth-creators right out of the state, leaving a shrinking tax base to pay the bill; the latter means waiting lists, bureaucratic paper-mazes, and cost-shifting onto private insurance.
And that means dying while on a waiting list; restricting care for smokers and the obese; traveling across a border to deliver your baby.
I exchanged op-eds with the Tomah Journal on this subject a while back. Among my more brilliant rhetorical ripostes:
Question: if you cant get the treatment your doctor says you need — not at any price — is the health care really universal?
Is doing without somehow less egregious when its government health care?
I think Romney would really help McCain in a number of ways. He is younger and comes across really well explaining the conservative position (on the issues where he is conservative). He also knows how to raise money, which at the rate McCain has been raising it he will be crushed by Obama. Obama is a money-raising juggernaut.

'The Impossible' offers portrait of humanity amid tragedy
There are so many tragedies, man-made and natural, that sometimes we rely on shorthand to remember them.
For instance, the Dec. 26, 2004, Indian Ocean tsunami, which claimed more than 200,000 lives, is regarded as among the deadliest disasters in recorded history. And although Westerners represented about 1% of its victims, it is remembered by many because of one of its survivors was supermodel Petra Nemcova. »Read Full Article
In Tandem Theatre moves back to funny, perceptive 'Apartment 3A'
Can one argue that really great sex proves the existence of God? Can a play in which a woman verbally counts out her simulated, onstage orgasms still be described as wholesome and old-fashioned? Is actor Jeff Daniels' "Apartment 3A," the comedy triggering these questions, really funny?
Yes! Yes! Yes! »Read Full Article

Fullmetal Alchemist
Finally, a game that's willing to own up to its faults.
The Level One half of the game isn't much to speak of, then, except for very, very dedicated fans of the Japanese comic and cartoon series it's based on. Edward Elric is the Fullmetal Alchemist, a smart-mouthed young wizard with a half-mechanical body -- like any alchemist worth his salt, he's in search of the Philosopher's Stone, which will allow him to regrow his missing organic bits and do the same for his kid brother Alphonse, who's made out of metal entirely. The game occupies itself with a brief side-story, as Ed and Al hack and slash their way through a mystery surrounding a corrupt rebellion of some of their fellow occult chemists.
Where the gameplay side of things shows some potential is the implementation of the alchemy concept. In practice, what it means is that Ed can transmute bits of the environment into useful weapons -- swords, daggers, pikes, giant axes, stationary Gatling guns, lots of fun stuff like that. Balancing the available items is an interesting dynamic when progressing through a level, because it may be faster to charge ahead through an expansive area, but it can be more efficient to let enemies come to you in a section with plenty of heavy artillery available.
By all accounts, the sequel to this original game (released in Japan a few months ago) realizes the full potential of its combat system, allowing for much more varied and fluid chain combinations of weapon attacks and alchemical spells, and some more team-up mechanics with Alphonse (there are team attacks in the original game, but they're pretty rudimentary). Version 1.0 runs out of steam too early -- the selection of hand-to-hand attacks eventually repeats itself too much to remain compelling. Meanwhile, that problem's compounded by some other ways in which Alchemist tends to repeat itself.
To maintain any reasonable player's interest, this game needed to have at least half again as much original real estate. As it is, the levels are chock-full of fetch-quests and backtracking from one end of the world to another, forcing you to slog through stretches of dull, familiar territory time and again. Ironically, though, that's where the English version starts to get genuinely funny on a metatextual level.
Not too far into the game, the Elric brothers start openly complaining about the level design. They bitch about all the trudging they have to do and all the silly little tasks blocking their way -- the keys they have to gather, the one-note villains thrown in on the barest pretext that they have to chase all over creation. It's funny on a couple of levels, because not only does the dialogue have a pretty entertaining snap to it, you start noticing that the characters are saying what you're thinking as the player.
The script squeezes some more laughs out of the material with a non-stop barrage of ever-more-godawful gags and puns. One gets the impression that the editors were desperate to infuse some life into what was a pretty bland script to start with. For the most part, the jokes work, though -- even when they're bad, they're bad in an enjoyably cornball way. Luckily, nobody involved was tempted to try and fail at making the humor too blue.
Even the few brief animated cinemas are localized pretty well, although they're the work of Funimation (which brought the Alchemist TV series to the Cartoon Network) instead of Square Enix itself. There's no Japanese dialogue option, though, which seems like simple laziness on the part of whoever's responsible. The English voices aren't bad, but some players will no doubt prefer the alternative, and there's no reason it shouldn't have been offered. If Namco can fit two dialogue tracks in Ace Combat 5 (which had many, many times more speech), Square Enix could have bothered to put a Japanese option in Alchemist.
That's a mostly academic point, though. This isn't a recommended purchase except to very dedicated fans, the kind that would probably overlook that kind of flaw (since there are several other, even more significant flaws to overlook as well). In its weird little way, it's fun, but not quite $50 worth of fun.

Election Day 2012: Did Any of the Results Genuinely Surprise You?
While it appeared that many of New Times' readers were favoring a big upset in Arizona in one race or another, none of them appeared to have happened.
A few of the congressional races still need to be ironed out, but Mitt Romney took Arizona, Congressman Jeff Flake's moving on to the U.S. Senate, Sheriff Joe Arpaio won yet another term, and it's just another day in the desert.

Terry Goddard is an elected official again? Interesting. None of the controversial ballot propositions passed? Interesting. Embattled Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu was re-elected as Sheriff? Sigh. Kind of interesting.
What might be surprising, though, are the three tight congressional races. Early (very early) this morning, Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick took back the lead from Republican Jonathan Paton in northern Arizona's CD-1, and Kirkpatrick was leading by more than 6,000 votes with nearly all the precincts reporting, which was way different than our earlier check (from late last night).
In CD-2, Republican Martha McSally was still hanging on to the lead over Democratic Congressman Ron Barber during our most recent check (around 2:30 a.m.), which showed McSally up by 1,312 votes with all the precincts reporting.
Democrat Kyrsten Sinema was still hanging on to her lead over Republican Vernon Parker at that time, leading by 2,101, at that time.
In all three races -- maybe less in CD-1 -- it might be a safe bet to wait until the results are official to declare a winner.
Either way, did any of the races in Arizona turn out much different than you expected, and genuinely surprised you?

|Construction spending steps up in March
Construction spending inched up in March to an annualized rate of $808 billion.
Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) chief economist Ken Simonson reports that construction spending advanced 0.1 percent from February to March of this year, and is 6 percent above year-ago levels. Based on recently released federal data, Simonson says the overall gains mask divergent trends as public sector construction activity declines while private sector demand for new construction strengthens.
"Private and public sector demand for construction appear to be heading along two distinct directions," says Simonson. "While it is great to see private sector activity coming back to life, it is unfortunate to see declining public sector demand dampen the industry's overall growth."
Private construction activity expanded by 11.5 percent between March 2011 and March 2012 and by 0.7 percent compared to February 2012. Nonresidential spending was particularly robust, expanding by 15.2 percent from March 2011 and by 0.7 percent compared to February 2012. Simonson reports the biggest private nonresidential monthly spending increases were for transportation (+6.7 percent for the month) and office projects (+5.4 percent for the month). Manufacturing (+38.6 percent for the year) and power construction (+22.1 percent for the year) had the largest annual increases.
Private residential spending went up 0.7 percent compared to February 2012 and 7.4 percent compared to March 2011. New single-family construction posted a 10.3 percent year-over-year rise and a 3.8 percent increase for the month. Multi-family construction was up 23.3 percent from the previous March but down 3.1 percent from February; spending on residential improvements moved up 2.6 percent year-over-year and fell 1.9 percent for the month.

But at least one of the balls had a small picture of the Saudi Arabian flag, which includes script with the words Allah and the Prophet Muhammad. Villagers were upset and angry, pointing out they found kicking something with the names of the Muslim icons on it offensive. The U.S. military spokesman said it regretted the incident. The balls were reportedly manufactured in China and bought by the U.S. military in a market in Kabul.

Skip to comments.Key general calls Iraq pullout plan a disaster
Posted on 10/24/2011 5:56:27 AM PDT by Hunton Peck
President Obamas decision to pull all U.S. forces out of Iraq by Dec. 31 is an absolute disaster that puts the burgeoning Arab democracy at risk of an Iranian strangling, said an architect of the 2007 troop surge that turned around a losing war.
Retired ArmyGen. John M. Keane was at the forefront of persuading President George W. Bush to scuttle a static counterinsurgency strategy and replace it with 30,000 reinforcements and a more activist, street-by-street counterterrorism tactic.
Today, even with that strategy producing a huge drop in daily attacks, Gen. Keane bluntly told The Washington Times that the United States again is losing.
I think its an absolute disaster, said Gen. Keane, who advised Gen. David H. Petraeus when he was top Iraq commander. We won the war in Iraq, and were now losing the peace.
U.S. troops will be vacating Iraq at a time when neither Baghdads counterterrorism skills nor its abilities to protect against invasion are at levels needed to fully protect the country, say analysts long involved in the nearly nine-year war.
Forty-four hundred lives lost, Gen. Keane said. Tens of thousands of troops wounded. Over a couple hundred thousand Iraqis killed. We liberated 25 million people. There is only one Arab Muslim country that elects its own government, and that is Iraq.
We should be staying there to strengthen that democracy, to let them get the kind of political gains they need to get and keep the Iranians away from strangling that country. That should be our objective, and we are walking away from that objective.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Sunday warned Iran not to miscalculate the U.S. decision to withdraw its troops.
No one, most particularly Iran, should miscalculate about our continuing commitment to and with the Iraqis going forward,
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
No one, most particularly Iran, should miscalculate about our continuing commitment to and with the Iraqis going forward,
Any action after that contemplated by the moron in charge, will be barn door diplomacy. That would be after the departure of the horse. Or simply said BEE ESS!
We will send a very harsh letter to the UN, nah, nah, nah. Bad boy, take that.
Does it really matter? This year or two years from now. When we leave Iraq will tear itself apart without help from Iranians.
Different Islamic sects will be fighting each other, they all will be killing Christians, and Jews, and the Iranians merely have to wait and the place will be handed to them.
We are the only stability Iraq has and they wants us gone.
This would be the time for general officer resignations, if they have serious issues with the plan.
The current Iraqi leadership is bluffing, typical Arab-style
Everyone always expects the US will give the Arabs somne deal to save face and make the leaders richer, and do what everyone knows is the prudent strategic move
Boy are they gonna be surprised whan Barky actually pulls our troops
It's all in the Master plan of The One. Radicalize Egypt and Libya (which announced yesterday they will be an Islamic state under Sharia law) then pull out the troops from Iraq so Iran can take over, and then *walla* Those evil Joos will be crushed once and for all and our first foreign born Islamic POTUS will be seen as a Martyr.
Not surprising. Hussein's real goal is advance islamic radicalism and turn all the Middle Eastern countries into islamic dictatorships and drive out all Christians. Egypt, and soon Libya are the examples.
FUBO GTFO! 454 Days until Noon Jan 20, 2013
***Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Sunday warned Iran not to miscalculate the U.S. decision to withdraw its troops.***
Don't worry, they won't miscalculate. I'm sure they've been fully briefed on what obama's true intentions are...
As the General states what Iraq now has is paid for in blood, The chief wizard of smart does not care about the sacrifice that was made to get to this point or what happens to Iraq after we leave. He is washing his hands of this and as usual "victory" is not in his lexicon. He is the singly most unimpressive leader that I can recall.
Hillary in says we have our ally in Turkey. I don't think she has been paying attention unless she means an ally in selling Israel and the Kurds down the river.
The plan is perfect.
All MY guns are oiled, operational, fully loaded with enough ammo (and family/squad) to do a lot of damage when the time comes.
ozero's the plant that neutered the US while the muhamadans march across the planet and men in position to more effectively and timely DO something do nothing, leaving the job to us, the ones that actually worked to have this nation.
Do you know what book this refers to?
The "Arab Spring" has produced and is producing a chain of anti-American AQ/MB associated states covering nearly all of North Africa. All of those demonstrations, each of which was aimed against a ruler who was either a close friend or ally, were organized and supported by the Illegal's accomplices. With the demise of Mubarak and the lynching of Quaddafi the message to each ruler of an Islamic state is clear:
You save yourself by joining the radical Islamists, with whom Obama is really allied, not by supporting America because, if you support America and oppose AQ/MB, Obama will have you deposed and, quite possibly, murdered.
Hence, the current ruler of Iraq booted us out to protect himself. Now he can be counted on to start romancing Iran as fast as he can simply to assure his own survival.
In short, the Illegal is a traitor, a communist, a secret Mudslime, and a bitter, virulent hater of America and Americans who is out to destroy and is deliberately destroying our international position in the passionate hope of helping our worst enemies, including Iran, to defeat us.
I was waiting for someone with oo to stand up. Now we know why Petreus got moved to the CIA.
Obama just wants the money to spend on "votes".
No one, most particularly Iran, should miscalculate about our continuing commitment to and with the Iraqis going forward,
No one, most particularly North Vietnam, should miscalculate about our continuing commitment to and with the South Vietnamese going forward,
Ah the assurances of a democrat...
Yep, it is worse than telling our former allies that they are on their own. We actually try to undermine and overthrow them in favor of Islamic terrorists.
Yeh and remember back when Turkey said no base and no attacking Irag from Turkey.
When we leave Iraq, Karzai is Dead Man Walking.
I fear that you are right. I suppose that there was a tipping point before which things might have worked out in our favor. Perhaps if more sensible policies were put in place right after Baghdad fell...
Anyway, it's way too late now. As you suggested, leaving troops will just delay the inevitable. The Iraq adventure will probably end just as Vietnam did. And I suspect that Afghanistan will end the same way also. The American people no longer have the will for it to be otherwise. Vietnam again.P> That's obviously a huge waste and a great tragedy. But it's more than that. Radical islam will be emboldened to push even harder.
The Mideast is a toilet that had its flush handle yanked a long time ago...all the poopy piles are circling the bowl and heading down the drain pipe. Ain't a thing we can do to stop what's happening over there. We need to grab the rim of the bowl and vault our way out that mess right now.
Our best bet is to bring our soliers home, strengthen our borders, and drill baby drill.
I have no clue who's telling the truth anymore. Mark Steyn,quoting Bernard Lewis,says that, in the Middle East, America risks teaching the lesson that she is harmless as an enemy and treacherous as a friend.
But, but, but...I thought Hillary The Cankles warned Iran not to take advantage of the withdrawal. Isn't Iran now shaking in it's turban? :-)
That "moron" Bush was the one who, in my view sensibly, signed the Status of Forces Agreement which stipulated that all remaining troops leave by the end of this year. IMHO, Obama is a moron because he wanted to keep them there longer! Thankfully, the Iraqis said no.

The U.S. maintains a sizable presence in country. In order to make the "home by Christmas" timetable, it will be another fall of Saigon debacle, replete with rooftop evacuations of embassy personnel. A total bug-out. Time to strike the tents, and spool up. Our work there is done.
our first foreign born Islamic POTUS will be seen as a Martyr.
More like the 12th Imam!
Ah the assurances of a democrat...
Need an insurance policy on those assurances.
Believe me, it has crossed my mind. Depends, (no pun intended) on the results of the next election.
I thought this was just following the Bush timetable established in 2008.
Was the general opposed then?
If I didn't know any better, I'd say O is deliberately sabotaging Iraq. I don't know any better, though. So I'll say that.
The Kurdish area of upper Iraq, which the US protected with the Northern No-Fly-Zone will be one nation when Iraq breaks into three parts; all the oil will be under the watchful eye of the US; the Kurdish Army up there is 120K strong, all trained on US Order of Battle and ready to go. Iran should be very careful, as well as the Turk's when it comes to venturing into this area of Kurdish control - we helped them build their army and have secured the OIL. The US will still have the an armed ally on Iran's souther border and from this region in Iraq the Kurds should be able to ask for land from Iran and Turkey to have One-State to end the wars on Kurds by the Arabs/Islamic peoples.
Iran is the big winner here.
Hey General - The surge worked, that war is over, we have other wars to attend to before we run out of money.
If Iraq falls to the Islamists, they'll gain control of rhe entire ME. That will mean WW3.
Wrong country. Karzai is with Afghanistan.
Not really, and I don't know.
There is a matter of how and not just when, as well.
An ordered withdrawal is required. Whether it is smart to withdraw isn't a military decision, but if active duty general officers in charge believe that particulars of this withdrawal are needlessly forcing a dangerous situtation for those in their charge, then they should resign in protest.
The quote comes from BHO's "The Audacity of Hope". I found it on page 309, though.
Thank you!

Not all roads in the Flinders Ranges are sealed, mainly only the major ones.
If you want to see quite a few attractions, then there is a good chance you will be driving on dirt.
We found many were in good condition, but some were badly corrugated. Most are suitable for 2WD's, like we travelled in. If a 4WD is needed, it usually states this on the map or at the beginning of the road.
- Road Trip
- National/State Park
I am not sure how long the walk is to the Caves, but recommended time is 1.5hours.
From the start, the pathway is rather rough, gradually getting rougher as you proceed. It is gradually going uphill all the way. The walk is scenic, it's amongst many boulders and there were some flowers out.
Once you reach the cave, then you have a set of VERY STEEP STEPS TO CLIMB into the Cave, not for anybody afraid of heights.
Also remember to wear a hat, wear sunburn cream and take a bottle of drinking water.
Even in April [Autumn] it was quite warm in this part of Australia.

The Flinders Ranges is home to many beautiful Red Gums. They are my favorite tree, and probably by the end of your visit, will be yours too!
IN the Summer heat, they do drop big limbs without warning.
You also need to be aware, in the Flinders Ranges, the empty creek beds look very enticing camp areas, but be very careful, many lives have been lost.
Why? As often rain falls higher up in the Ranges from a sudden thunderstorm, and the water comes rushing down these creeks taking everything before it.

Most people say, watch out for the Kangaroos, true, they are bad, but mainly morning and late afternoon.
Emus on the other hand, are around anytime of the day. We always slow down to a crawl when we see wildlife on or near the road, as you never know what they are going to do.
Emus are much more reliable than Kangaroos, as if they are heading in one certain direction, they will keep on heading that way at a very fast pace. Guess my photo didn't come out too good!
