This particular worm, like many before it, is clever: it registers a user, uses a security bug (fixed earlier in the year) to allow evaluated code to be executed through the permalink structure, makes itself an admin, then uses JavaScript to hide itself when you look at users page, attempts to clean up after itself, then goes quiet so you never notice while it inserts hidden spam and malware into your old posts.</p>\n<p>The tactics are new, but the strategy is not. Where this particular worm messes up is in the &#8220;clean up&#8221; phase: it doesn&#8217;t hide itself well and the blogger notices that all his links are broken, which causes him to dig deeper and notice the extent of the damage. Where worms of old would do childish things like defacing your site, the new ones are silent and invisible, so you only notice them when they screw up (as this one did) or your site gets removed from Google for having spam and malware on it.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;m talking about this not to scare you, but to highlight that this is something that has happened before, and that will more than likely happen again.</p>\n<p>A stitch in time saves nine. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress\">Upgrading is a known quantity of work</a>, and one that the WordPress community has tried its darndest to make as easy as possible with one-click upgrades. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked\">Fixing a hacked blog, on the other hand, is quite hard</a>. Upgrading is taking your vitamins; fixing a hack is open heart surgery. (This is true of cost, as well.)</p>\n<p>2.8.4, the current version of WordPress, is immune to this worm. (<em>So was the release before this one.</em>) If you&#8217;ve been thinking about upgrading but haven&#8217;t gotten around to it yet, now would be a really good time. If you&#8217;ve already upgraded your blogs, maybe check out the blogs of your friends or that you read and see if they need any help. A stitch in time saves nine.</p>\n<p>Whenever a worm makes the rounds, everyone becomes a security expert and peddles one of three types of advice: snake oil, Club solutions, or real solutions. Snake oil you&#8217;ll be able to spot right away because it&#8217;s <em>easy</em>. Hide the WordPress version, they say, and you&#8217;ll be fine. Uh, duh, the worm writers thought of that. Where their 1.0 might have checked for version numbers, 2.0 just tests capabilities, version number be damned. </p>\n<p>The second type of advice is Club solutions; to illustrate, I&#8217;ll quote from <a href=\"http://diveintomark.org/archives/2002/10/29/club_vs_lojack_solutions\">Mark Pilgrim&#8217;s excellent essay on spam 7 years ago, before WordPress even existed</a>:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The <em>really</em> interesting thing about these approaches, from a game theory perspective, is that they are all <a href=\"http://slate.msn.com/?id=2041\" title=\"Slate, August 3, 1997: Property Is Theft: When protecting your own property is stealing from others\">Club solutions, not Lojack solutions</a>.  There are two basic approaches to protecting your car from theft: <a href=\"http://www.theclub.com/\">The Club</a> (or The Shield, or a car alarm, or something similar), and <a href=\"http://www.lojack.com/\">Lojack</a>.  The Club isn’t much protection against a thief who is determined to steal <em>your</em> car (it’s easy enough to drill the lock, or just cut the steering wheel and slide The Club off).  But it is effective protection against a thief who wants to steal <em>a</em> car (not necessarily <em>your</em> car), because thieves are generally in a hurry and will go for the easiest target, the low-hanging fruit.  The Club works as long as not everyone has it, since if everyone had it, thieves would have an equally difficult time stealing any car, their choice will be based on other factors, and your car is back to being as vulnerable as anyone else&#8217;s.  The Club doesn’t deter theft, it only deflects it.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Club blog security solutions can be simple (like an .htaccess file) or incredibly complex (like two-factor authentication), and they can work, especially for <em>known exploits</em>. Club solutions can be useful, like using a strong or complex password for your login &#8212; no one would recommend against that. (Another club solution is switching to less-used software on the assumption or more like the software&#8217;s claim that it&#8217;s perfect and more secure. This is why BeOS is more secure than Linux, ahem.)</p>\n<p>In the car world, if someone figured out how to teleport entire cars to chop shops, The Club wouldn&#8217;t be so useful anymore. Luckily for manufacturers of The Club, this hasn&#8217;t happened. Online and in the software world, though, the equivalent happens almost daily. There is only one real solution. <strong>The only thing that I can promise will keep your blog secure today and in the future is upgrading.</strong></p>\n<p>WordPress is a community of hundreds of people that read the code every day, audit it, update it, and care enough about keeping your blog safe that we do things like release updates weeks apart from each other even though it makes us look bad, because updating is going to keep your blog safe from the bad guys. I&#8217;m not clairvoyant and I can&#8217;t predict what schemes spammers, hackers, crackers, and tricksters will come up with with in the future to harm your blog, but I do know for certain that as long as WordPress is around we&#8217;ll do everything in our power to make sure the software is safe. We&#8217;ve already made upgrading core and plugins a one-click procedure. If we find something broken, we&#8217;ll release a fix. Please upgrade, it&#8217;s the only way we can help each other.</p>\n\";}s:3:\"wfw\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentrss\";s:68:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/09/keep-wordpress-secure/feed/\";}s:5:\"slash\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";s:3:\"450\";}s:7:\"summary\";s:301:\"A stitch in time saves nine.

Where this particular worm messes up is in the &#8220;clean up&#8221; phase: it doesn&#8217;t hide itself well and the blogger notices that all his links are broken, which causes him to dig deeper and notice the extent of the damage. Where worms of old would do childish things like defacing your site, the new ones are silent and invisible, so you only notice them when they screw up (as this one did) or your site gets removed from Google for having spam and malware on it.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;m talking about this not to scare you, but to highlight that this is something that has happened before, and that will more than likely happen again.</p>\n<p>A stitch in time saves nine. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress\">Upgrading is a known quantity of work</a>, and one that the WordPress community has tried its darndest to make as easy as possible with one-click upgrades. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked\">Fixing a hacked blog, on the other hand, is quite hard</a>. Upgrading is taking your vitamins; fixing a hack is open heart surgery. (This is true of cost, as well.)</p>\n<p>2.8.4, the current version of WordPress, is immune to this worm. (<em>So was the release before this one.</em>) If you&#8217;ve been thinking about upgrading but haven&#8217;t gotten around to it yet, now would be a really good time. If you&#8217;ve already upgraded your blogs, maybe check out the blogs of your friends or that you read and see if they need any help. A stitch in time saves nine.</p>\n<p>Whenever a worm makes the rounds, everyone becomes a security expert and peddles one of three types of advice: snake oil, Club solutions, or real solutions. Snake oil you&#8217;ll be able to spot right away because it&#8217;s <em>easy</em>. Hide the WordPress version, they say, and you&#8217;ll be fine. Uh, duh, the worm writers thought of that. Where their 1.0 might have checked for version numbers, 2.0 just tests capabilities, version number be damned. </p>\n<p>The second type of advice is Club solutions; to illustrate, I&#8217;ll quote from <a href=\"http://diveintomark.org/archives/2002/10/29/club_vs_lojack_solutions\">Mark Pilgrim&#8217;s excellent essay on spam 7 years ago, before WordPress even existed</a>:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The <em>really</em> interesting thing about these approaches, from a game theory perspective, is that they are all <a href=\"http://slate.msn.com/?id=2041\" title=\"Slate, August 3, 1997: Property Is Theft: When protecting your own property is stealing from others\">Club solutions, not Lojack solutions</a>.  There are two basic approaches to protecting your car from theft: <a href=\"http://www.theclub.com/\">The Club</a> (or The Shield, or a car alarm, or something similar), and <a href=\"http://www.lojack.com/\">Lojack</a>.  The Club isn’t much protection against a thief who is determined to steal <em>your</em> car (it’s easy enough to drill the lock, or just cut the steering wheel and slide The Club off).  But it is effective protection against a thief who wants to steal <em>a</em> car (not necessarily <em>your</em> car), because thieves are generally in a hurry and will go for the easiest target, the low-hanging fruit.  The Club works as long as not everyone has it, since if everyone had it, thieves would have an equally difficult time stealing any car, their choice will be based on other factors, and your car is back to being as vulnerable as anyone else&#8217;s.  The Club doesn’t deter theft, it only deflects it.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Club blog security solutions can be simple (like an .htaccess file) or incredibly complex (like two-factor authentication), and they can work, especially for <em>known exploits</em>. Club solutions can be useful, like using a strong or complex password for your login &#8212; no one would recommend against that. (Another club solution is switching to less-used software on the assumption or more like the software&#8217;s claim that it&#8217;s perfect and more secure. This is why BeOS is more secure than Linux, ahem.)</p>\n<p>In the car world, if someone figured out how to teleport entire cars to chop shops, The Club wouldn&#8217;t be so useful anymore. Luckily for manufacturers of The Club, this hasn&#8217;t happened. Online and in the software world, though, the equivalent happens almost daily. There is only one real solution. <strong>The only thing that I can promise will keep your blog secure today and in the future is upgrading.</strong></p>\n<p>WordPress is a community of hundreds of people that read the code every day, audit it, update it, and care enough about keeping your blog safe that we do things like release updates weeks apart from each other even though it makes us look bad, because updating is going to keep your blog safe from the bad guys. I&#8217;m not clairvoyant and I can&#8217;t predict what schemes spammers, hackers, crackers, and tricksters will come up with with in the future to harm your blog, but I do know for certain that as long as WordPress is around we&#8217;ll do everything in our power to make sure the software is safe. We&#8217;ve already made upgrading core and plugins a one-click procedure. If we find something broken, we&#8217;ll release a fix. Please upgrade, it&#8217;s the only way we can help each other.</p>\n\";}i:4;a:13:{s:5:\"title\";s:33:\"WordPress 2.8.4: Security Release\";s:4:\"link\";s:64:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/08/2-8-4-security-release/\";s:8:\"comments\";s:73:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/08/2-8-4-security-release/#comments\";s:7:\"pubdate\";s:31:\"Wed, 12 Aug 2009 01:41:54 +0000\";s:2:\"dc\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";s:4:\"Matt\";}s:8:\"category\";s:16:\"ReleasesSecurity\";s:4:\"guid\";s:39:\"http://wordpress.org/development/?p=903\";s:11:\"description\";s:329:\"Yesterday a vulnerability was discovered: a specially crafted URL could be requested that would allow an attacker to bypass a security check to verify a user requested a password reset.

While the exact features for 2.9 have not been hammered out yet, as we continue to match up developers with features, we wanted to share the survey results and let you know what we&#8217;re thinking in terms of approach.</p>\n<p>First, the results. The first question, and the only one that was mandatory, asked what single media feature you would choose to include in version 2.9. The top vote-getter was standalone editable photo albums (as opposed to the current per-post gallery) at 17.5%, followed closely by easier embeds for videos and other third-party content at 16.5%. Next came basic image editing (such as rotating, cropping and resizing) at 13.7%, and post thumbnails (image teasers for posts featured on the home page) at 12.9%. The rest of the features each took less than ten percent of the vote. The full list came in like this:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q1.png\"><img src=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q1.png\" alt=\"Results of question 1\" width=\"620\" /></a></p>\n<p>The second question was optional (3406 people answered it), and asked you to rate each feature on a scale going from <em>top priority</em> down to <em>definitely not</em> for implementation priority. Results here were in line with the results from the first question, with most features rated as <em>nice to have</em> more often than anything else. The features that scored the highest in question 1 were more likely to have earned higher votes in the Top Priority column, but no feature was ranked as a Top Priority more often than it was ranked as a Nice to Have (though Media Albums, Easier Embeds and Post Thumbnails came close). The complete tabulations are shown in the chart below.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q2.png\"><img src=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q2.png\" alt=\"Results for question 2\" width=\"620\" /></a></p>\n<p>Question three was getting at the same thing, but in a more granular fashion, asking you to rank the eleven features in order of priority to you. As only one feature could be assigned to each position, this prevented people from assigning the same priority to multiple features, and we wondered if it would alter the results. Though some features got more recognition in this question, the overall rankings were still in line with the results from question 1. Here are the exact votes per feature/per position:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q3.png\"><img src=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q3.png\" alt=\"Results for question 3\" width=\"620\" /></a></p>\n<p>The fourth question asked for your preferences regarding including new media features in core, bundling them as plugins with the core download, or developing them as plugins but not bundling them with the core download. This vote was more interesting to watch. As the notice for the voting went first to the development community, then to the user community, it was possible to see a shift in the voting. Earlier in the voting cycle, there were more votes for bundling &#8216;core plugins&#8217; for the advanced media features, while later votes skewed heavily toward just putting the features in core. This vote shows, I think, one of the differences between developer and user perspectives. While developers are heavily interested in keeping the core code lean and relying on plugins for advanced functionality, many users would prefer features they want to be included in core rather than being a separate plugin. The final tally on this question was 56.2% for including features in core, 38.1% for bundled plugins, and 5.7% for non-bundled plugins. The actual numbers:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q4.png\"><img src=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q4.png\" alt=\"Results for question 4\" width=\"620\" /></a></p>\n<p>Clearly this issue deserves more discussion, and the concept of how we move toward a system of canonical plugins and/or core &#8220;packages&#8221; intended for different use cases (CMS, photoblog, portfolio, etc) will be a big topic in the months ahead.</p>\n<p>So where does that leave us regarding features coming down the road? When the vote closed, the results were discussed in the #wordpress-dev IRC chat to divvy up feature development.</p>\n<p>The top-voted feature, standalone photo albums, is being worked on as a <a href=\"http://gsoc2009wp.wordpress.com/rudolf-photo-albums/\">Google Summer of Code project by Rudolf Lai</a>, under the mentorship of WordPress Lead Developer <a href=\"http://markjaquith.com/\">Mark Jaquith</a>. The &#8220;pencils down&#8221; date for GSOC is in less than two weeks, at which point we&#8217;ll be assessing the state of Rudolf&#8217;s project. Hopefully, we&#8217;ll be able to incorporate it with 2.9 development, do some testing,  amend the code and/or UI as needed, and have this launch with the 2.9 release (in core or as plugin TBD). Undoubtedly, additional functionality will be contributed by core contributors who have also been working on media plugins.</p>\n<p>Easier embeds, the second most popular feature, is being looked at in a couple of ways. One, more shortcodes for third-party services. Work on this has already begun. In addition, <a href=\"http://viper007bond.com\">Viper007Bond</a>, of <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/\">Viper&#8217;s Video Quicktags plugin</a> fame, has taken on the task of working on a way to improve the embed experience in core. We&#8217;re not sure quite how this will work yet, but stay tuned.</p>\n<p>Adding some basic editing functions like 90-degree rotation, cropping and resizing was considered an obvious winner in the dev chat, and as several plugins handle this functionality, we&#8217;re hopeful it will be included soon.</p>\n<p>Post thumbnails are being handled by Mark Jaquith, who has created this functionality before, with an assist from <a href=\"http://scribu.net/\">Scribu</a>, who has a <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-images/\">similar plugin</a> in the repository.</p>\n<p>Lower ranked features aren&#8217;t off the radar, but may take lower priority than some other (non-media) features we have in the works. One of my favorite 2.9 features is in trunk now, and changes the way we delete content. Goodbye, annoying popup asking me if I&#8217;m sure I want to delete a comment/post/etc. Hello, fast and quiet removal into a trash can, from which the content can be retrieved if it was deleted by accident. Think Gmail style. We&#8217;re also hoping to work on improving page management, though that has a number of technical issues that may cause it to be a 3.0 feature instead.</p>\n<p>As always, you can keep track of development progress in a number of ways:<br />\n1. Keep track of Trac. Contribute a patch, test a patch, just read through tickets if you have some time to kill, whatever. There are <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=reopened&amp;status=assigned&amp;status=reviewing&amp;status=new&amp;status=accepted&amp;group=status&amp;milestone=2.9\">over 500 tickets against the 2.9 milestone</a> currently. Patches and testing can help us get that number down.</p>\n<p>2. Follow Trac commits on Twitter. Don&#8217;t want to get involved in the nitty gritty, just want to see what&#8217;s getting committed? Follow <a href=\"http://twitter.com/wpdevel\">wpdevel on Twitter</a> and you&#8217;ll get core commit updates in your stream.</p>\n<p>3. See what&#8217;s on the dev agenda.

While the exact features for 2.9 have not been hammered out yet, as we continue to match up developers with features, we wanted to share the survey results and let you know what we&#8217;re thinking in terms of approach.</p>\n<p>First, the results. The first question, and the only one that was mandatory, asked what single media feature you would choose to include in version 2.9. The top vote-getter was standalone editable photo albums (as opposed to the current per-post gallery) at 17.5%, followed closely by easier embeds for videos and other third-party content at 16.5%. Next came basic image editing (such as rotating, cropping and resizing) at 13.7%, and post thumbnails (image teasers for posts featured on the home page) at 12.9%. The rest of the features each took less than ten percent of the vote. The full list came in like this:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q1.png\"><img src=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q1.png\" alt=\"Results of question 1\" width=\"620\" /></a></p>\n<p>The second question was optional (3406 people answered it), and asked you to rate each feature on a scale going from <em>top priority</em> down to <em>definitely not</em> for implementation priority. Results here were in line with the results from the first question, with most features rated as <em>nice to have</em> more often than anything else. The features that scored the highest in question 1 were more likely to have earned higher votes in the Top Priority column, but no feature was ranked as a Top Priority more often than it was ranked as a Nice to Have (though Media Albums, Easier Embeds and Post Thumbnails came close). The complete tabulations are shown in the chart below.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q2.png\"><img src=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q2.png\" alt=\"Results for question 2\" width=\"620\" /></a></p>\n<p>Question three was getting at the same thing, but in a more granular fashion, asking you to rank the eleven features in order of priority to you. As only one feature could be assigned to each position, this prevented people from assigning the same priority to multiple features, and we wondered if it would alter the results. Though some features got more recognition in this question, the overall rankings were still in line with the results from question 1. Here are the exact votes per feature/per position:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q3.png\"><img src=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q3.png\" alt=\"Results for question 3\" width=\"620\" /></a></p>\n<p>The fourth question asked for your preferences regarding including new media features in core, bundling them as plugins with the core download, or developing them as plugins but not bundling them with the core download. This vote was more interesting to watch. As the notice for the voting went first to the development community, then to the user community, it was possible to see a shift in the voting. Earlier in the voting cycle, there were more votes for bundling &#8216;core plugins&#8217; for the advanced media features, while later votes skewed heavily toward just putting the features in core. This vote shows, I think, one of the differences between developer and user perspectives. While developers are heavily interested in keeping the core code lean and relying on plugins for advanced functionality, many users would prefer features they want to be included in core rather than being a separate plugin. The final tally on this question was 56.2% for including features in core, 38.1% for bundled plugins, and 5.7% for non-bundled plugins. The actual numbers:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q4.png\"><img src=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q4.png\" alt=\"Results for question 4\" width=\"620\" /></a></p>\n<p>Clearly this issue deserves more discussion, and the concept of how we move toward a system of canonical plugins and/or core &#8220;packages&#8221; intended for different use cases (CMS, photoblog, portfolio, etc) will be a big topic in the months ahead.</p>\n<p>So where does that leave us regarding features coming down the road? When the vote closed, the results were discussed in the #wordpress-dev IRC chat to divvy up feature development.</p>\n<p>The top-voted feature, standalone photo albums, is being worked on as a <a href=\"http://gsoc2009wp.wordpress.com/rudolf-photo-albums/\">Google Summer of Code project by Rudolf Lai</a>, under the mentorship of WordPress Lead Developer <a href=\"http://markjaquith.com/\">Mark Jaquith</a>. The &#8220;pencils down&#8221; date for GSOC is in less than two weeks, at which point we&#8217;ll be assessing the state of Rudolf&#8217;s project. Hopefully, we&#8217;ll be able to incorporate it with 2.9 development, do some testing,  amend the code and/or UI as needed, and have this launch with the 2.9 release (in core or as plugin TBD). Undoubtedly, additional functionality will be contributed by core contributors who have also been working on media plugins.</p>\n<p>Easier embeds, the second most popular feature, is being looked at in a couple of ways. One, more shortcodes for third-party services. Work on this has already begun. In addition, <a href=\"http://viper007bond.com\">Viper007Bond</a>, of <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/\">Viper&#8217;s Video Quicktags plugin</a> fame, has taken on the task of working on a way to improve the embed experience in core. We&#8217;re not sure quite how this will work yet, but stay tuned.</p>\n<p>Adding some basic editing functions like 90-degree rotation, cropping and resizing was considered an obvious winner in the dev chat, and as several plugins handle this functionality, we&#8217;re hopeful it will be included soon.</p>\n<p>Post thumbnails are being handled by Mark Jaquith, who has created this functionality before, with an assist from <a href=\"http://scribu.net/\">Scribu</a>, who has a <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-images/\">similar plugin</a> in the repository.</p>\n<p>Lower ranked features aren&#8217;t off the radar, but may take lower priority than some other (non-media) features we have in the works. One of my favorite 2.9 features is in trunk now, and changes the way we delete content. Goodbye, annoying popup asking me if I&#8217;m sure I want to delete a comment/post/etc. Hello, fast and quiet removal into a trash can, from which the content can be retrieved if it was deleted by accident. Think Gmail style. We&#8217;re also hoping to work on improving page management, though that has a number of technical issues that may cause it to be a 3.0 feature instead.</p>\n<p>As always, you can keep track of development progress in a number of ways:<br />\n1. Keep track of Trac. Contribute a patch, test a patch, just read through tickets if you have some time to kill, whatever. There are <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=reopened&amp;status=assigned&amp;status=reviewing&amp;status=new&amp;status=accepted&amp;group=status&amp;milestone=2.9\">over 500 tickets against the 2.9 milestone</a> currently. Patches and testing can help us get that number down.</p>\n<p>2. Follow Trac commits on Twitter. Don&#8217;t want to get involved in the nitty gritty, just want to see what&#8217;s getting committed? Follow <a href=\"http://twitter.com/wpdevel\">wpdevel on Twitter</a> and you&#8217;ll get core commit updates in your stream.</p>\n<p>3. See what&#8217;s on the dev agenda.

He said it inspired him to launch a campaign to get his neighbors in Tuscon, Ariz. to contribute just \"one can a week\" to feed the hungry. </p>\n\n<p>\"When President Obama got elected there was an attitude change,\" Norback told HuffPost. \"When a sensitive guy came along and said we should be responsible human beings, that really hit a note in everybody and all my neighbors said, \'Yeah, we should do something.\'\"</p>\n\n<p>While hope has turned to cynicism for many, Norback has kept the faith. Every Sunday since early 2009, he\'s spent four hours collecting cans and other goods from his neighbors. He delivers the payload to the Community Food Bank in Tuscon. In 2009, he delivered more than 9,000 pounds of food. </p>\n\n<p>\"Some weeks people forgot, but he never forgot,\" said Community Food Bank development officer Pauline Hechler. \"He has shown them he is going to be there week after week, so they do their part. They don\'t want to let him down.\"</p>\n\n<p>Hechler said demand for food in Tuscon had increased 40 percent over the past year. \"It\'s unbelievable,\" she said. The food bank distributes enough food for 48,000 meals a day.  </p>\n\n<p>Norback documents his work in a weekly email and <a href=\"http://onecanaweek.blogspot.com/\" target=\"_hplink\">blog post</a>. Last week brought the first rainy Sunday in the program\'s 57 weeks, and Norback wondered if everyone would still participate. They did.</p>\n\n<p>\"It just really, really surprised me,\" said Norback, a 67-year-old computer teacher. \"It showed me that I\'m going to keep on pressing on. It is affecting people, it\'s getting to them...Nobody called anybody. That means that I have to really be responsible. If you\'re really responsible, the citizens will follow you.\" </p>\n\n<p>People are not only following Norback, they\'re imitating him in other cities. </p>\n\n<p>\"Peter\'s One Can A Week program was our inspiration when my son began a<br />\nweekly food collection for the veterans in our community,\" wrote Carol Reed of Wake Forest, N.C. in an email to HuffPost. \"We stumbled across his blog on the Internet, and being former Tucsonans, it caught our eye. I wrote to Peter who sent all his materials which we adapted for what we are doing. Basically, every Sunday my son collects non-perishables from our neighborhood of about 65 homes. He started in late August, and has collected over 800 pounds of food so far. He delivers it to the American Legion Post where the veterans who are in need of assistance can come to receive it.\"</p>\n\n<p>For anyone interested in starting a One Can A Week program, Norback\'s got a <a href=\"http://onecanaweek.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-build-your-own-neighborhood.html\" target=\"_hplink\">starter kit</a> on his site. The United Way of Southeastern Michigan adapted the guide and is promoting the concept as well.</p>\n\n<p>\"Imagine if every household in your neighborhood donated one can of food, every week, to your local food pantry,\" says a <a href=\"http://www.liveunitedsem.org/content/index/ocaw\" target=\"_hplink\">message</a> on the United Way\'s site. \"Would anything change? Would there be less hunger in metro Detroit? If you look at the One Can-a-Week program created by one neighborhood in Tucson, Arizona, the answer is yes.\" </p>\n\n<p><strong>HuffPost readers: Is there a One Can A Week program in your neighborhood?

Robert Harling\'s play focused on a true story -- the death of a beloved sister -- and how friendship and humor sustained his family. Each night, audiences met six unforgettable women in Truvy\'s beauty shop -- and laughed till it hurt. Southern storytellers have a singular gift for home and heart -- and the latest effort to celebrate women\'s lives is the musical <b><i>Good Ol\' Girls</i></b>, now playing at the Black Box Theatre.</p>\n\n<p>Adapted by Paul Ferguson, <i>Good Ol\'Girls</i> is based on the stories of two acclaimed Southern authors: Lee Smith and Jill McCorkle, with songs by Nashville hit-makers Matraca Berg (Reba McEntire, Dixie Chicks) and Marshall Chapman (Jimmy Buffett, Wynonna.) It stars Sally Mayes, Tony-nominated for <i>She Loves Me</i>, Lauren Kennedy (<i>Spamalot</i>), Teri Ralston (<i>Company</i>), Gina Stewart (<i>Dawson\'s Creek</i>) and Liza Vann (<i>Machiavelli</i>).</p>\n\n<p>Co-writer Lee Smith, a Virginia native, is the author of 15 books, including <i>Fair and Tender Ladies</i> and the upcoming <i>Mrs. Darcy Meets the Blue-Eyed Stranger</i>. Her novel <i>The Last Girls</i> was also a New York Times bestseller. She shares her thoughts on Southern life and times and transforming memorable characters into musical theater:</p>\n\n<p><b>What is a \"good ol\' girl?\"</b><br />\nThe \"good ol\' girl\" is an American workingwoman with certain character traits and attitudes. Think <i>Norma Rae</i>, think Loretta Lynn\'s \"You ain\'t woman enough to steal my man.\" She\'s got spunk, humor and independence; she\'s strong, smart, outspoken, and often, too trusting. She knows that big hair and a big heart do not mean a small mind. She\'s often hell-raising and cares deeply. Sometimes, she settles down to become a \"good woman\"-- raising three kids, running a beauty salon out back of the house, baking pies from scratch, clipping coupons, following NASCAR and teaching an aerobics class called \"Jumpin for Jesus\" at her church. You don\'t want to cross a good ol\' girl. She\'ll bring you a casserole, but she\'ll kill you, too. <br />\n <br />\n<b>Isn\'t she Southern, by definition?</b><br />\nWell, not really. She might live in Durham, North Carolina, or Akron Ohio, or Denver, Colorado, or, well, anywhere. My co-writer Jill McCorkle (the author of five novels and four short-story collections, including <i>Going Away Shoes</i>,) described the show as \"women of all types and ages in all different places coming to terms with some big issues in life.\" Our characters don\'t shy away from these issues, either, such as love, marriage, pregnancy, work, abuse, faith, family and aging. These are not Southern issues. These are universal. <br />\n <br />\n<b>How would you describe this musical?</b><br />\n \"Virginia Woolf meets Dolly Parton!\" It has been called \"a feminist literary country music revue.\" It\'s a show with a lot of attitude, but it\'s really an affirmation of womanhood, ranging from childhood to the nursing home, bright futures to fading glories. You can see all the women you have known and loved. You might even see yourself. <br />\n <br />\n<b> Five writers for one musical? Isn\'t that a bit unusual?</b><br />\nMaybe, but <i>Good Ol\' Girls</i> has been an honest-to-God, true collaboration.  Over in Nashville, singer-songwriter Matraca Berg wrote a song named \"Good Ol Girls,\" and came up with the concept for a musical. She called legendary rocker Marshall Chapman, one of my oldest friends, and they called me and asked if I wanted to write a play. It took me about five seconds to forget about my novel-in-progress and say, \"I\'m in!\" I\'d been fantasizing about a musical for years -- something like \"A Chorus Line\" for women. Practically every character I\'ve ever written is a good ol\' girl. I roped Jill McCorkle in for more kick-ass contemporary voices, and we were in business. Almost. A stack of monologues and CDs is not a show. We asked North Carolina playwright and director Paul Ferguson to adapt our material -- and he made it theater. </p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"2010-02-15-GoodOleGirls.jpg\" src=\"http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2010-02-15-GoodOleGirls.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"214\" /></p>\n\n<p><i>Good Ol\' Girls</i> photo by: Carol Rosegg</p>\n\n<p></p>\n\n<p><br />\n </p>\n\n<p><br />\n</p>\n        \n	\n    \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/P9Ah85na1IRgN6xERpzwvWfecWM/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/P9Ah85na1IRgN6xERpzwvWfecWM/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/P9Ah85na1IRgN6xERpzwvWfecWM/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/P9Ah85na1IRgN6xERpzwvWfecWM/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=LuZbP5Ew_es:4Pnt1W6_XWo:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=LuZbP5Ew_es:4Pnt1W6_XWo:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?i=LuZbP5Ew_es:4Pnt1W6_XWo:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=LuZbP5Ew_es:4Pnt1W6_XWo:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?i=LuZbP5Ew_es:4Pnt1W6_XWo:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/huffingtonpost/raw_feed/~4/LuZbP5Ew_es\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>\";}i:2;a:10:{s:5:\"title\";s:46:\"Yoani Sanchez: The Russians in Havana...

These foreign images and sounds nurtured our childhood due to the excessive presence of the Soviet Union in the Cuba of the seventies and eighties.  We shivered with the cold watching Bulgarian and Czech cartoons, while outside the tropical sun reminded us we were in the Caribbean.  Some say we learned to say \"Koniec\" before \"The End,\" until one day the bears migrated, leaving us without their films of victorious soldiers and smiling mujiks.</p>\n\n<p>After 1991 the large runs from the Russian publisher MIR could only be found in secondhand bookstores, under the dusty mantle of abandonment.  This February, however, the International Book Fair has dedicated its XIX year to the country that for decades was a mentor and economic supporter of the Cuban process.  The comrades who once paid astronomical prices for our sugar, while selling us their oil for a trifle, have returned, dressed in suits and ties.  They landed on the island they once subsidized, but this time to market their works, printed in brilliant colors, on themes alien to Marxism.</p>\n\n<p>In the esplanade of the Cabana Fort large, intersecting lines form to buy the new titles from the East.  Children here and there leaf through illustrations of golden ears of wheat or of people under sombreros with huge earrings.  But it is no longer the same.  The forced presence these iconographic images once had in our lives is, for the children of today, a mere curiosity about the exotic.  In their young minds fir trees will not replace the palms, nor foxes the lizards; for them, Russia will be nothing more than a distant and different place.</p>\n\n<p><em>Yoani\'s blog, <strong>Generation Y</strong>, <a href=\"http://www.desdecuba.com/generationy/\">can be read here</a> in English translation.</em>  </p>\n        \n	        More on Cuba\n	\n    \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/ASlDuoK0Q3xNgcrMqLEvXqhY2dY/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/ASlDuoK0Q3xNgcrMqLEvXqhY2dY/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/ASlDuoK0Q3xNgcrMqLEvXqhY2dY/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/ASlDuoK0Q3xNgcrMqLEvXqhY2dY/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=3jPQbs_oGng:E35UkL8ZUSA:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=3jPQbs_oGng:E35UkL8ZUSA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?i=3jPQbs_oGng:E35UkL8ZUSA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=3jPQbs_oGng:E35UkL8ZUSA:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?i=3jPQbs_oGng:E35UkL8ZUSA:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/huffingtonpost/raw_feed/~4/3jPQbs_oGng\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>\";}i:3;a:10:{s:5:\"title\";s:51:\"Michael Sigman: Plagiarism: The Words and the Music\";s:4:\"link\";s:83:\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-sigman/plagiarism-the-words-and_b_462088.html\";s:2:\"id\";s:50:\"tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2010:/theblog//3.462088\";s:9:\"published\";s:20:\"2010-02-15T22:46:43Z\";s:7:\"updated\";s:20:\"2010-02-15T22:46:36Z\";s:7:\"summary\";s:120:\"It\'s always satisfying to see journalistic plagiarism outed.

But when it comes to music, things can be more complicated. </p>\n\n<p>Last week,<em> <a href=\"http://Slate.com\" target=\"_hplink\">Slate</a></em>\'s media maven Jack Shafer, alerted by a reader tip, exposed Gerald Posner -- know-it-all, high-profile author, cable TV talking head and now-dismissed chief investigative reporter for Tina Brown\'s  <a href=\"http://www.dailybeast.com\" target=\"_hplink\">Daily Beast</a>-- as a serial plagiarist by quoting passages he stole virtually word for word from the writings of others. Even better, Shafer went the extra mile to demolish Posner\'s excuse that the web made him do it -- \"The core of my problem,\" Posner said, \"was in shifting [from writing books]...to what I describe as the \'warp speed of the net\'\" -- by noting  that countless journalists, Shafer himself included, have been operating plagiarism-free at this velocity for years. </p>\n\n<p>No one had to pay damages to the writers whose copy Posner lifted. But Australian pop group Men At Work could lose a small fortune in royalties from their 1983 worldwide charttopper<em> <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNT7uZf7lew\" target=\"_hplink\">Down Under</a></em> now that a Sydney court has ruled that they plagiarized a couple of bars in the flute solo from the 1934 song <em><a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iygkpxzbVt8\" target=\"_hplink\">Kookaburra Sits In The Old Gum Tree</a></em>. (American courts likely would not have been so quick to punish the \"Down Under\" writers for such a minor bit of borrowing.)</p>\n\n<p>Music is in the air, and the greatest composers -- Bach to Dylan to hip-hop samplers -- have routinely taken melodic motifs wherever they can find them. There\'s no doubt that George Harrison\'s 1970 hit <em><a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wynYMJwEPH8\" target=\"_hplink\">My Sweet Lord</a></em> is a rip-off of the Ronald Mack song <em><a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj1qHZAH4bw\" target=\"_hplink\">He\'s So Fine</a></em>, a 1963 smash by the Chiffons. Plagiarism may be the highest form of flattery, but the song\'s owner settled for nearly $600,000, and most agree Harrison was far too honorable to have stolen the tune on purpose. On the other hand, the Beach Boys\' <em><a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1FaflUn4Co\" target=\"_hplink\">Surfin\' U.S.A.</a></em> -- also from 1963 (year of the plagiarism plague?) -- is way too close to Chuck Berry\'s 1958 <em><a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Zz8fmHrIpg \" target=\"_hplink\">Sweet Little Sixteen</a></em> to have been unconscious, and Berry won the right to claim songwriting credit.</p>\n\n<p>Sometimes greedy executives get in the plagiarism game. In the mid-\'70s, Roulette Records president Morris Levy -- not Chuck Berry -- sued John Lennon for ripping off a Berry guitar riff on <em>Come Together</em>. A decade later, Fantasy Records owner Saul Zaentz did Levy one better when he sued -- ultimately unsuccessfully -- ex-Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman John Fogerty -- who\'d left that iconic group to pursue a solo career on another label -- for $140 million, claiming Fogerty had<a href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/01/arts/music/01foge.html\" target=\"_hplink\"> plagiarized himself</a>!</p>\n\n<p>The late composer/orchestra leader Percy Faith (his recording of <em>Theme from a Summer Place</em> was the defining tune of 1960) was known for plucking already existing tunes out of the ether to create pop songs. He and my dad, Carl Sigman, wrote the 1951 Guy Mitchell hit <em><a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOBzowk-exY\" target=\"_hplink\">My Heart Cries for You</a></em>  in 10 minutes on a bet after hearing the basic tune -- a French folk melody - on the PA system at \"the trotters.\"  (Unable to get Sinatra to record the song, Columbia Records super-producer Mitch (\"Sing Along With Mitch\") Miller tapped a young demo singer named Al Cernick. But that name wouldn\'t do. So Mitch substituted his own first name for \"Cernick\" and, given Al\'s gender, Mitch gave him the first name \"Guy.\") </p>\n\n<p>That French folk tune was in the public domain, so all was legal. But a few years later, the same pair collaborated on <em>The Secret of Happiness</em>, which was recorded by Dinah Shore, who sang it on her weekly variety show. Just before the record was released, it was yanked when a Columbia Records exec felt the tune was too close to Charlie Chaplin\'s<em> Smile</em>.</p>\n\n<p> (See<a href=\"http://www.famousplagiarists.com/\" target=\"_hplink\"> here</a> for analysis of the spectrum from blatant stealing -- in writing and music -- to subconscious regurgitation; and<a href=\"http://www.songfacts.com/category:songs_involved_in_lawsuits.php\" target=\"_hplink\"> here</a> for detailed stories of pop music plagiarism brouhahas.)</p>\n\n<p>The closest I ever came to getting plagiarized -- besides having my 12th grade economics papers copied by the creep sitting next to me -- occurred around 15 years ago, when I was publisher of <em>LA Weekly</em>. Thumbing through a copy of our competitor the<em> LA Reader</em>, I was astonished to see my name signed to a letter to the editor I hadn\'t written. Seemed I\'d pissed off a talented <em>Weekly</em> writer who\'d cleverly turned what might well have been my words into a dumb, insensitive message.</p>\n\n<p>That\'s not plagiarism, of course, but its reverse, and a very closely related and effective political strategy - reframing what your opponent has said so it becomes horribly unpalatable. </p>\n\n<p>Sarah Palin/\"Death Panels\" anyone?</p>\n\n<p></p>\n\n<p></p>\n\n<p><br />\n</p>\n        \n	\n    \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/Cuobkxcu2j9RcoYBfd6UlPdAP-Q/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/Cuobkxcu2j9RcoYBfd6UlPdAP-Q/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/Cuobkxcu2j9RcoYBfd6UlPdAP-Q/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/Cuobkxcu2j9RcoYBfd6UlPdAP-Q/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=tHfMxEkVDMM:FxHVdoxBFIU:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=tHfMxEkVDMM:FxHVdoxBFIU:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?i=tHfMxEkVDMM:FxHVdoxBFIU:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=tHfMxEkVDMM:FxHVdoxBFIU:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?i=tHfMxEkVDMM:FxHVdoxBFIU:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/huffingtonpost/raw_feed/~4/tHfMxEkVDMM\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>\";}i:4;a:9:{s:5:\"title\";s:35:\"Drew Peterson Gun Charge Reinstated\";s:4:\"link\";s:80:\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/15/drew-peterson-gun-charge-_n_463113.html\";s:2:\"id\";s:54:\"tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2010:/thenewswire//2.463113\";s:9:\"published\";s:20:\"2010-02-15T22:45:18Z\";s:7:\"updated\";s:20:\"2010-02-15T22:49:02Z\";s:6:\"author\";s:23:\"\n        \n        \n    \";s:11:\"author_name\";s:32:\"The Huffington Post News Editors\";s:10:\"author_uri\";s:42:\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/thenewswire/\";s:12:\"atom_content\";s:2104:\"\n        <p>JOLIET, Ill. &mdash; An appeals court has reversed a lower court\'s decision to dismiss gun charges against former Illinois police officer Drew Peterson.</p>\n\n<p>The Illinois Third District Appellate Court ruled that Judge Richard Schoenstedt erred when he dismissed the gun charges against Peterson in 2008 after prosecutors refused to hand over key internal documents.</p>\n        <p>Peterson\'s attorneys had argued the gun charges amounted to vindictive and selective prosecution.</p>\n\n<p>The charges stemmed from an investigation into the 2007 disappearance of Peterson\'s fourth wife, Stacy Peterson.

They may feel good, making republicans look bad, but the main strategy that this tactic is based upon is a loser.</p>\n\n<p>The American people are justifiably furious that they gave their trust to Obama and the congressional Democrats and that confidence was betrayed. Obama and Reid in particular failed to keep promises, failed to wield the power they were entrusted to make real change happen.</p>\n\n<p>Now, Obama and company want to set up scenarios where they can more clearly document the excuses.</p>\n\n<p>The American people don\'t want better excuses. They want results. They want competent, effective leadership that makes things happen.</p>\n\n<p>I ran a poll, primarily among progressives, asking how they felt about Obama\'s efforts to reform healthcare. </p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http://www.opednews.com/Poll/Are-You-Happy-With-Obama-s-by-Rob-Kall-100210-733.html\" target=\"_hplink\">Are You Happy With Obama\'s Health Care Efforts?</a><br />\nSix percent were happy with Obama\'s efforts. Five percent didn\'t want him tampering with their health care (the teapartyer position) and 89% said Obama had not done enough. So, when you read those polls saying people are not happy with Obama\'s health care efforts, don\'t assume that they don\'t want him doing anything. Assume that a lot of people are angry that he has not done enough.</p>\n\n<p>Sure the Republicans are being oppositional. That\'s their strategy. They determined that the gains for the strategy were greater than the liability.</p>\n\n<p>The American people are really disgusted. Less and less Obama supporters are hanging in there, trusting Obama and congress to deliver. More and more are concluding that the Democrats have failed to do the job they were elected to do. Independents are leaning Republican. Democrats are leaning on the arms of their sofas and they\'re not going to get out and vote, let alone, expend energy campaigning for incumbents they are disappointed with.</p>\n\n<p>There\'s a solution. It\'s not pretty. It carries some risk. But continuing with the \"show how bad the Republicans are\" strategy will not work. It is dooming the Democratic party to disaster in 2010 and 2012.</p>\n\n<p>The solution is something a lot of people, like Howard Dean and Bernie Sanders, are saying -- the Democrats and Obama need to get a spine. They need to get very tough with Republicans.</p>\n\n<p>First, the architects of the \"show how bad the Republicans are\" strategy should be immediately fired and replaced with real, tough leaders. That probably means dumping a load of former Clinton staffers -- DLCers who have leaned right, and tried to move the Democratic party to the right.</p>\n\n<p>Next, develop a strategy that gets things done. Some of my progressive colleagues will disagree, but I say use interim appointments to fill empty posts -- scores of them. And empty more posts. Clear out ALL the lingering Bush/Rove political appointees still holding jobs -- every one of them. Then use interim appointments, since GOP senators are blocking normal appointments. Show the American people you\'re not going to be stopped by GOP strategies. Show that Democrats are smarter, better, more effective leaders that get things done. This will be a novel concept, considering that currently, even if some things have been accomplished, the narrative is telling a story of failure. When this interim appointment strategy is acted on, have in place plans to minimize and neutralize attacks that the GOP will surely initiate. Don\'t try to convince hard-core right wingers. Aim at convincing independents, where there\'s some hope of reaching them.</p>\n\n<p>Next, use reconciliation, which requires 50 votes plus Biden to pass a slew of bills. Break a record for using reconciliation. If Harry Reid doesn\'t want to use reconciliation, replace him. Matter of fact, remove all senators who won\'t be back next year from leadership positions -- Dodd in particular. Put in people who need to keep their jobs.</p>\n\n<p>Start installing in legislation that involves funding wording so that states where both senators don\'t support the bill don\'t get the funding.</p>\n\n<p>Now, reconciliation is only used for funding bills. That\'s okay. Take the reform issues that are most urgent -- equal treatment for women, ending pre-existing conditions and recision policies -- and pass them the old fashioned way. There are Republicans who have always been willing to vote for them. Those issues will fly through.</p>\n\n<p>Next, go on the attack. Use the Justice Department to start investigations into Bush, Cheney and all the Abramoff people who Bush\'s DOJ failed to investigate. Go after the judges and DOJ Rove supervised attorneys who engaged in gross partisan prosecutorial misconduct. Reveal the details. Show the people of American what was done to attack and despoil justice.</p>\n\n<p>Aggressively attack the five Supreme Court low-life liars who promised not to legislate from the bench who are tearing US laws and precedents apart. Pursue impeachment of Roberts and Alito.</p>\n\n<p>Shut off Rush Limbaugh and right wing radio broadcasts for our troops.</p>\n\n<p>Start government funding real investigative journalism as a bottom-up way of rescuing newspapers. Investigative journalism is an incredibly solid investment that can yield hundreds of billions in savings  by preventing waste and corruption. Create a fund that provides money media operations can use to fund  salaries for reporters. Throw the funding open to all legit media organizations -- say -- ones approved and crawled by the major news crawlers.</p>\n\n<p>Create at least two million new jobs from the bottom up by providing billions that small businesses can tap to pay for employees. Require the employers to submit documentation that employees worked, and give the money directly to the employees.</p>\n\n<p>Provide the employees in the above program with Medicare.</p>\n\n<p>For every 5 employees, provide bottom-up funding which businesses can use to pay rent on new space. This will help the huge problem that is about to explode in the world of commercial real-estate.

None was compelling enough to cite in total so we get to remember snippets of action: the final few minutes of the actual All-Star game when defense and steals were practiced by some, missed dunks during a Slam Dunk contest, old guys dominating the youngsters in the skills contest (Steve Nash the victor) and the three-point shooting contest (Paul Pierce the winner) and Shakira in a cage, lip syncing her music.</p>\n\n<p>The real meat and potatoes of the weekend, other than Jerry Jones and Mark Cuban being able to announce the 100,000+ attendance figure, actually happened behind closed doors. After they were opened we were treated to the news that the first proposal for new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) terms from the NBA to its players union included everything plus the kitchen sink.</p>\n\n<p>Whether or not there is truth to the report that the proposal itself was physically ripped up by the owners after its rejection by the union it might as well have been. The union blasted it so hard that the mild-mannered union president, Derek Fisher of the Los Angeles Lakers had this to say: <blockquote>\"I think what we made clear today is that where they are is not relevant to where we are. We\'re not going to begin where they say begin.\"</blockquote></p>\n\n<p>At the last minute some of the game\'s biggest stars decided to crash the party to observe and lend support to their representatives. LeBron James, Kevin Garnett and Carmelo Anthony made an appearance which is in their best interest of course but shows that they understand what is at stake for them and their fellow players.</p>\n\n<p>The players union director, Billy Hunter blistered the terms proposed by saying they would affect<blockquote> \"every player at every level in the NBA\" and included \"everything that (management) could ever think of.\"</blockquote></p>\n\n<p>The AP was told by someone that saw the league\'s list of wants and desires that they included reducing the percentage of revenue paid to players from 57% to under 50%, installing a hard salary cap, guaranteeing only half the years under a player\'s deal and reducing the maximum salary number as well as the maximum number of years for any one contract.</p>\n\n<p>Oh yeah, and my personal favorite, the fact that if the deal is done ahead of schedule and prior to the commencement of the 2010 season, the owners expect the new terms to cover contracts signed at that time. You know, the summer when LeBron James and Dwayne Wade are available for schmoozing? The owners proposed the terms kick in a season early, just to show their appreciation that the negotiations wouldn\'t end in a stalemate.</p>\n\n<p>Well, I guess that about sums up where the owners are. But what about the players? We\'ll see what the proposal looks like when it gets lobbed across the table.</p>\n\n<p>Read Paula\'s daily sports stories at <a href=\"http://www.examiner.com/x-426-Sports-Examiner\" target=\"_hplink\">examiner.com</a></p>\n        \n	        More on NBA\n	\n    \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/EUkD5Mlpd4REasYty9wTlaxrXyo/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/EUkD5Mlpd4REasYty9wTlaxrXyo/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/EUkD5Mlpd4REasYty9wTlaxrXyo/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/EUkD5Mlpd4REasYty9wTlaxrXyo/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=QcvQBzF8Oig:imVsLSf7QFE:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=QcvQBzF8Oig:imVsLSf7QFE:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?i=QcvQBzF8Oig:imVsLSf7QFE:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=QcvQBzF8Oig:imVsLSf7QFE:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?i=QcvQBzF8Oig:imVsLSf7QFE:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/huffingtonpost/raw_feed/~4/QcvQBzF8Oig\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>\";}i:8;a:10:{s:5:\"title\";s:51:\"Kevin Connor: What is John Paulson doing in Greece?\";s:4:\"link\";s:82:\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kevin-connor/what-is-john-paulson-doin_b_463084.html\";s:2:\"id\";s:50:\"tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2010:/theblog//3.463084\";s:9:\"published\";s:20:\"2010-02-15T22:33:52Z\";s:7:\"updated\";s:20:\"2010-02-15T22:34:00Z\";s:7:\"summary\";s:112:\"Hedge fund king John Paulson\'s role alongside Goldman Sachs in the Greek debt crisis deserves far more scrutiny.\";s:6:\"author\";s:23:\"\n        \n        \n    \";s:11:\"author_name\";s:12:\"Kevin Connor\";s:10:\"author_uri\";s:43:\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kevin-connor/\";s:12:\"atom_content\";s:7269:\"\n        <p>Goldman Sachs\'s Greek adventure got an in-depth look from the <a href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/14/business/global/14debt.html\" target=\"_hplink\">New York Times</a> yesterday. The article extends on last week\'s <a href=\"http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,676634,00.html\" target=\"_hplink\">Spiegel</a> piece, which reported that the bank helped Greece hide the true extent of its debt through the use of specialized derivative products.  We first reported on the <a href=\"http://blog.littlesis.org/2010/02/09/greece-is-the-new-aig/\" target=\"_hplink\">parallels between AIG and Greece</a> in a post last week, following the lead of <a href=\"http://www.zerohedge.com/article/ever-increasing-parallels-between-aig-and-greece-and-cds-puppetmaster-behind-it-all\" target=\"_hplink\">Zero Hedge</a>.  Entry into the paper of record means the story now has legs this side of the pond, and MIT economist <a href=\"http://baselinescenario.com/2010/02/14/goldman-goes-rogue-%E2%80%93-special-european-audit-to-follow/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+BaselineScenario+%28The+Baseline+Scenario%29\" target=\"_hplink\">Simon Johnson is arguing that Goldman Sachs is set to be blacklisted in Europe.</a></p>\n\n<p>One question looming over this story:  did <a href=\"http://littlesis.org/org/20/Goldman_Sachs_Group\" target=\"_hplink\">Goldman</a> position itself to profit from the Greek fiasco?  Did it use its special knowledge of Greek\'s hidden debt to build profitable bets on its future downfall and rescue? If the bank\'s past behavior is any guide, the answer is yes.  Ignoring the impending catastrophe (obvious from their vantage point), and failing to properly \"hedge\" (extract massive profits), would have been \"irresponsible\" (insufficiently greedy/corrupt) on the part of senior management.</p>\n\n<p>Considering this, <a href=\"http://littlesis.org/person/15032/John_Paulson\" target=\"_hplink\">hedge fund king John Paulson\'s</a> role in Greece deserves far more scrutiny. I wrote about this last week, <a href=\"http://blog.littlesis.org/2010/02/09/greece-is-the-new-aig/\" target=\"_hplink\">pointing out that they shared the same vulture flight pattern in Greece</a>, but at the time did not realize that Paulson and Goldman actually partnered in executing massive and profitable bets against the subprime market. Are they doing the same with Greece?</p>\n\n<p>News of Paulson\'s fund taking large positions against Greek debt has barely risen above rumor in the English-language press, despite <a href=\"http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&sl=el&u=http://www.tovima.gr/default.asp%3Fpid%3D2%26ct%3D32%26artId%3D310435%26dt%3D20/01/2010&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dsite:antinews.gr%2Blittlesis%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3DUHE&rurl=translate.google.com&twu=1&usg=ALkJrhgZ4VK6wwGluLNB3-dT3wslJqirZA\" target=\"_hplink\">this article</a> in a Greek daily, which says that Paulson is \"orchestrating the pressure on Greek government bonds and the Euro,\" and reports that Paulson has a team of 20-30 traders focused on Greece.</p>\n\n<p>A research firm is now calling Paulson the <a href=\"http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/feb/09/hedge-funds-defend-role-euro\" target=\"_hplink\">George Soros</a> of derivatives markets, where the bulk of speculation against European debt and the Euro is happening; the Telegraph says that so far \"<a href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/7232369/Can-anyone-fix-the-euro-puzzle.html\" target=\"_hplink\">no hedge fund has put its head above the parapet in this destructive trade</a>,\" but the rumor is that Paulson is behind it.</p>\n\n<p>If Paulson is the hedge fund king behind the parapet, as rumored in English and reported in Greek, then it would seem fairly likely that Paulson and Goldman partnered -- colluded? -- to build profitable short positions against Greek debt.   That <a href=\"http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/53bbbd40-0c42-11df-8b81-00144feabdc0.html\" target=\"_hplink\">Goldman was shepherding hedge fund client Paulson around Athens</a> in recent weeks would seem to suggest that the bank and hedge fund are working together in Greece.</p>\n\n<p>Paulson and Goldman have partnered before -- on the subprime short trades that won them enormous profits in the midst of the housing.  Those trades have gotten a lot of attention, but the fact that Paulson and Goldman worked together to make it all happen has received much less ink.  The story of Paulson\'s investments is detailed in Gregory Zuckerman\'s book, <a href=\"http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703574604574499740849179448.html\" target=\"_hplink\">The Greatest Trade Ever</a>.  Goldman plays a prominent role, setting up the CDOs that Paulson would wager against, and then selling them to investors.  The star Goldman trader who placed the bank\'s winning bets against the subprime market, Josh Birnbaum, was reportedly in frequent contact with Paulson, at one point encouraging him to back off his bets (perhaps to make more room for Goldman).</p>\n\n<p>Since Paulson was in the room with Goldman (and several other banks) when these CDOs were first conceived, it would seem that the fund had an unfair edge over the investors that would lose their shirt buying the securities.  Zuckerman notes that Deutsche Bank suffered losses because it couldn\'t find takers; that famous taker, <a href=\"http://littlesis.org/org/13/AIG\" target=\"_hplink\">AIG</a>, may have been Goldman\'s convenient solution.</p>\n\n<p>These parallels raise obvious questions:  was Paulson also in the room with Goldman before it tried to sell Greece on a new way to hide its debt this past November?  As a hedge fund client of Goldman\'s, did Paulson have special information about Greece\'s true debt situation?  Are Goldman and Paulson partnering, once again, to profit from the downfall of an entire country/continent?</p>\n\n<p><em>Cross-posted from </em><a href=\"http://blog.littlesis.org/\" target=\"_hplink\">Eyes on the Ties</a>.</p>\n        \n	        More on Greece\n	\n    \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/e4U82k6-INNaR_SfQet6zG2iMLQ/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/e4U82k6-INNaR_SfQet6zG2iMLQ/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/e4U82k6-INNaR_SfQet6zG2iMLQ/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/e4U82k6-INNaR_SfQet6zG2iMLQ/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=NQmfTYLHgPM:SKRQMuaIGTs:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=NQmfTYLHgPM:SKRQMuaIGTs:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?i=NQmfTYLHgPM:SKRQMuaIGTs:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=NQmfTYLHgPM:SKRQMuaIGTs:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?i=NQmfTYLHgPM:SKRQMuaIGTs:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/huffingtonpost/raw_feed/~4/NQmfTYLHgPM\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>\";}i:9;a:10:{s:5:\"title\";s:61:\"Ryan Mack: Youth Teach Financial Literacy at Microsoft in NYC\";s:4:\"link\";s:79:\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ryan-mack/youth-teach-financial-lit_b_462265.html\";s:2:\"id\";s:50:\"tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2010:/theblog//3.462265\";s:9:\"published\";s:20:\"2010-02-15T22:30:35Z\";s:7:\"updated\";s:20:\"2010-02-15T22:33:00Z\";s:7:\"summary\";s:190:\"Students were afforded an opportunity to experience an enriching workshop at Microsoft in New York City in attending a series of seminars focusing on personal growth and career development. \";s:6:\"author\";s:23:\"\n        \n        \n    \";s:11:\"author_name\";s:9:\"Ryan Mack\";s:10:\"author_uri\";s:40:\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ryan-mack/\";s:12:\"atom_content\";s:4659:\"\n        <p>On February 12, high school students in the tri-state area were afforded an opportunity to experience an enriching workshop at Microsoft in New York City. Aside from learning their usual curriculum, students as young as eleven years of age, attended a series of seminars focusing on personal growth and career development. </p>\n\n<p>This event was designed to help students formulate and perfect a 3-minute presentation commonly known as an \"elevated pitch.\" Throughout the morning, towards the mid-afternoon, the students would have acquired the basic skill set necessary to compact a brief and marketable speech to any audience. With an incentive of two X Box game systems, students took out their pens and notepads and tediously focused on the speakers\' words and advice. </p>\n\n<p>At the start of the event, CNN Commentator and Community Activist, Ryan Mack, introduced the young crowd to several financial empowerment principles as well as functional information about maintaining credits scores and budgeting. All About Business, a versatile group of college students, founded by Mack, also accompanied him in speaking to the students. </p>\n\n<p>Later on in the workshop, the association covered another segment that introduced the seven steps to financial freedom. All About Business Community Service Director, Kareem Hertzog said, \"This was another great opportunity for us to spread financial literacy to the youth and as we continue to expand, we hope to captivate a global presence and really have an impact on people\'s lives.\" </p>\n\n<p>Microsoft program coordinator, Gina Davis, mainly directed attention to the advantages of internet usage. Davis explained how the internet can be used as a marketing platform and urged the students to market themselves in positive ways. In an effort to teach youth how to stay mindful on social networking sites, Davis also highlighted cases that dealt with child pornography and child abduction. </p>\n\n<p>Davis said, \"I am very excited and encouraged by all the participation of the high schools that came out today and I hope they take something from this experience.\"</p>\n\n<p>Author, scholar, and entrepreneur, Randall Pinkett illustrated the vital role and value of education by sharing his success story. His goal was to motivate the audience to be producers of technology opposed to consumers of technology. </p>\n\n<p>\"Necessity is the mother of invention,\" said Pinkett as he enlightened the students about their innate ability to see opportunities other people don\'t see. </p>\n\n<p>After the speakers left words of encouragement among the students, they had a chance to work on their individual pitches within smaller groups to efficiently incorporate what they learned.

Let\'s talk about physics. Airplanes fly in the air because there are certain indelible laws of gravity and physics. For example: the airplane is going to be able to get into the air because the <a href=\"http://www.pilotfriend.com/training/flight_training/wt_bal.htm\" target=\"_hplink\">weight and balance </a>of the aircraft is congruent with the ability of the engines and the wings. This is something pilots are taught and expect to repeat much like a mantra or meditation: \"Weight and balance, take off and landing.\" </p>\n\n<p>I became a pilot years ago at John Wayne airport, it was right after the singer Aaliyah died because she forced her pilot to carry more baggage than the plane could physically handle. Her Louis Vuitton survived, she did not. The <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaliyah\" target=\"_hplink\">NTSB report</a> stated that the total gross weight of her airplane was \"substantially exceeded,\" which caused the center of gravity to be pushed too far forward. In other words, there was too much weight on the plane and the engines and wings could not lift the front of the airplane high enough to get the aircraft balanced and stable for a safe flight. The rest is tragic history.  </p>\n\n<p>So, back to Southwest, pilots are taught how much weight his or her aircraft can handle. And if the plane crashes, the pilot is the first person who will be questioned, so therefore a pilot has a right to be proactive and notify a passenger if their size is putting the weight and balance in question. Especially when, like Kevin Smith, the passenger\'s weight was taken into consideration at the time of purchasing an extra ticket to compensate the passenger\'s size. Mr. Smith knew that he needed to buy two seats, he was taking a chance (and putting other passengers in danger by getting his big body on that earlier flight). Remember, the engines and wings are able to get off the ground because the weight in the airplane is not exceeding its ability to fly safely. </p>\n\n<p>If it the airplane surpasses its weigh restriction, the plane won\'t be able to take off.  Or even worse, the airplane will crash going at a very fast speed. The pilot had a right to ask Mr. Smith to get off the plane. We all know the saying, <em>\"The straw that broke the camel\'s back.\" </em>Kevin, you could have been that straw. Honestly, if it was your family on that plane and it crashed, who would you blame? </p>\n\n<p>The math for each aircraft has been determined by the <a href=\"http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache:dAAO-OxKF84J:www.paragonair.com/public/docs/FAA-Handbooks/8083-01_WnB/8083-01_ch06.pdf+weight+and+balance+737&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a\" target=\"_hplink\">FAA and is available online.</a> (Just google the airplane you are flying, FAA, and \"weight and balance.\") For example the calculated average weight for a passenger on a 737 is 170 pounds.  That breaks down to: </p>\n\n<ul><li>Forward compartment ............................................... 18 people</li>\n<li>Aft compartment ........................................................ 95 people</li></ul>\n\n<p><br />\nHow about the average folks who are flying, how much do they weigh? <a href=\"http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/2009.2014\" target=\"_hplink\">The Journal of the American Medical Association</a> states that the prevalence of obesity in the United States continues to be high, exceeding 30% in most sex and age groups. If that is the case, then is it safe to say that 30% of passengers are overweight?   </p>\n\n<p>Knowing all this, do overweight people have a right to get mad when they need to purchase an extra ticket or get kicked off fully-booked airplane? I think not. And, Dear Mr. Kevin Smith, I don\'t know how much you weigh, but based on your photos, you weigh more than 170 pounds. Let\'s suppose that I am on a fully-booked airplane with 20 overweight people who weigh, let\'s say 240 pounds -- that is 1400 more pounds than the aircraft should be carrying. Now, this will not be a problem if those overweight passengers have purchased an additional ticket to compensate for their extra weight, but if not, then everyone on the aircraft is in danger. </p>\n\n<p>Yes, flying has become a tiresome drag and the airlines are not doing much to spruce up the friendly skies. But as passengers, it is our responsibility to understand the gravitational and physical laws that govern the sky. Even though this is physics, it ain\'t rocket science. You put too much weight on an aircraft and you will compromise the airplane\'s ability to do what is built to do. </p>\n\n<p>Maybe obese passengers don\'t have shoe bombs or box cutters on them, but it seems to me that what could happen on board an aircraft filled with too many overweight people could be just as deadly.</p>\n\n<p>My hat goes off to the captain of the Southwest flight who asked Kevin to get off the aircraft. Instead of a $100 flight voucher, perhaps Southwest should have given Kevin a $100 membership to the gym.</p>\n        \n	\n    \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/kIdw5hvc5upvmOAyWwxKYnvB-xw/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/kIdw5hvc5upvmOAyWwxKYnvB-xw/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/kIdw5hvc5upvmOAyWwxKYnvB-xw/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/kIdw5hvc5upvmOAyWwxKYnvB-xw/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=9k44t52Em2E:gUsI7evYmnY:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=9k44t52Em2E:gUsI7evYmnY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?i=9k44t52Em2E:gUsI7evYmnY:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=9k44t52Em2E:gUsI7evYmnY:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?i=9k44t52Em2E:gUsI7evYmnY:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/huffingtonpost/raw_feed/~4/9k44t52Em2E\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>\";}i:12;a:9:{s:5:\"title\";s:72:\"Evan Bayh\'s Retirement Leaves Democrats Scarred And Demanding Aggression\";s:4:\"link\";s:80:\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/15/evan-bayhs-retirement-lea_n_463048.html\";s:2:\"id\";s:54:\"tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2010:/thenewswire//2.463048\";s:9:\"published\";s:20:\"2010-02-15T22:25:29Z\";s:7:\"updated\";s:20:\"2010-02-15T22:31:25Z\";s:6:\"author\";s:23:\"\n        \n        \n    \";s:11:\"author_name\";s:32:\"The Huffington Post News Editors\";s:10:\"author_uri\";s:42:\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/thenewswire/\";s:12:\"atom_content\";s:7397:\"\n        <p>Senator Evan Bayh\'s abrupt <a href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/15/evan-bayh-not-running-for_n_462595.html\" target=\"_hplink\">announcement</a> on Monday that he will retire at the end of his term has further united disparate voices within the Democratic Party behind the idea that legislative action is the only remedy to avoid future political calamity. </p>\n\n<p>In the wake of the Indiana Democrat\'s announcement, a host of figures -- from the progressive wing of the party to devout centrists -- have chimed in to warn that failure in jobs and health care legislation have sapped the party\'s momentum and fortunes. </p>\n\n<p>Markos Moulitsas, the founder of the blog Daily Kos, said that the best way for Democrats to salvage the fate of the party before the 2010 elections is clear: \"Deliver on their campaign promises.\" </p>\n\n<p>\"No one is asking them to go out on a limb and do something they didn\'t first run by the American people,\" Moulitsas said, in an email to the Huffington Post. \"The Dems are where they are because they got elected promising to be a party able to govern, and then spent the last year proving themselves wrong.\" </p>\n\n<p>On the opposite end of the Democratic Party spectrum, <a href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lanny-davis\" target=\"_hplink\">Lanny Davis</a>, a longtime Clinton confidant and purveyor of the politics of compromise, offered a similar diagnosis.</p>\n\n<p>\"I know this will work because of what happened to Bill Clinton,\" Davis said of the ability of policy accomplishments to turn around a poor narrative. \"[President Obama\'s] failure to pass something showed him to be an ineffectual president. And the absence of effectiveness combined with the cynicism of government because of that absence of effectiveness... is toxic. It is Barack Obama that has to change that dynamic, and do it in a dramatic fashion to show he is an effective president.\" </p>\n\n<p>Rare is the day that Moulitsas and Davis find themselves on the same page. And, indeed, when it comes to tactics the two are still fall far apart: with the Moulitsas urging Obama to scrap \"irrelevant bipartisanship\" and the Davis insisting that the White House move forward with incremental, unobjectionable bits of health care reform.  </p>\n\n<p>Still, their insta-takes on the significance of the Bayh retirement point to an increasingly widely-held belief sweeping through party ranks. Democrats of all stripes are arriving at the conclusion that their power is in tremendous peril. And if the ship goes down -- as prognosticators suggest will happen -- there won\'t be any discrimination between moderates and progressives. </p>\n\n<p>Officials in public office know this too. A White House aide, who said he was not surprised by Bayh\'s decision to retire, noting the longstanding \"hatred\" the senator had for the inefficiencies of Congress, pointed to job growth as a way to raise party optimism. </p>\n\n<p>A senior Democratic aide on the Hill agreed. \"It\'s what we are trying to do,\" the aide said. \"We are trying to get base hits here. We need some singles. We can\'t get it all back with a grand slam.\" </p>\n\n<p>The hope among some Democrats is that Bayh\'s departure, combined with the growing gloom over the party\'s fortunes, will give lawmakers more incentive and leeway to operate, especially on health care reform. The Hill aide, while not impugning Moulitsas\'s position, argued that the Daily Kos founder was setting the bar too high for legislative success. \"I\'m glad Markos feels that way,\" the aide said. \"Let\'s hope his followers give us some room to build back our reservoir of good will.\" </p>\n\n<p>But it\'s impossible not to be skeptical, as Moulitsas and others are, that a Democratic Party that failed to register a major legislative breakthrough with a filibuster-proof majority will start racking up wins with a psyche that\'s bruised and battered.</p>\n\n<p>\"Republicans never doubt their agenda, and will use any tool at their disposal to ram it through,\" Moulitsas wrote. \"Democrats have internalized the criticisms about their agenda... dilly and dally and beg Republicans to join them... instead of following the lead of their opponents.\" </p>\n\n<p>The question ultimately becomes, what has to happen first: an attitude adjustment that sees Democrats more aggressively pushing their agenda or political victories that build up their confidence? </p>\n\n<p>The two may not be mutually exclusive. Some of the most prominent names in the Democratic Party\'s consulting class argued on Monday that by dropping the pretense of rhetorical moderation, lawmakers could lay the groundwork for a comeback. In an e-mail to the Huffington Post, Robert Borosage, co-director of the progressive Campaign for America\'s Future, practically begged Obama to flex the White House\'s muscle.</p>\n\n<p>\"Take [the Republicans] on -- from the damn White House,\" he wrote in an e-mail to the Huffington Post. \"They are fighting to cut estate taxes on the wealthiest 1% of heirs as a jobs program. Are they kidding?  How can they get away with that with barely a word being said about it? They oppose doing anything to give consumers protection from credit card companies, predatory lending etc -- that would get in the way of protecting the banks. Are they kidding? How can they get away with that?  They are offering themselves up to the banks as their protectors. They are lined up to oppose direct lending for kids that will help make college more affordable.\"</p>\n\n<p>\"The issues are innumerable. The choices clear,\" Borosage added. \"We\'ve got the bully pulpit.  Let\'s use the damn thing.\"</p>\n\n<p>Tad Devine, another longtime Democratic hand was just as blunt, advising lawmakers not to be wary of re-introducing voters to the previous White House\'s record. </p>\n\n<p>\"We as Democrats seem to think there was some sort of sunset provision on the Bush administration,\" Devine said. \"That an administration that nearly bankrupted the country... is something that after six months we can\'t even talk about any more is absurd. We have to be like Reagan and always remind people of the situation we walked into.\" <br />\n</p>\n        \n	    More on 2010 Elections\n	\n    \n<p><a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gH-Ux53ZQvI12bIOeUAoov9N1j0/0/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gH-Ux53ZQvI12bIOeUAoov9N1j0/0/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a><br/>\n<a href=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gH-Ux53ZQvI12bIOeUAoov9N1j0/1/da\"><img src=\"http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gH-Ux53ZQvI12bIOeUAoov9N1j0/1/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"></img></a></p><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=axA6z5O3dFs:0HSabNJ4OEM:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=axA6z5O3dFs:0HSabNJ4OEM:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?i=axA6z5O3dFs:0HSabNJ4OEM:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?a=axA6z5O3dFs:0HSabNJ4OEM:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/raw_feed?i=axA6z5O3dFs:0HSabNJ4OEM:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/huffingtonpost/raw_feed/~4/axA6z5O3dFs\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>\";}i:13;a:10:{s:5:\"title\";s:48:\"Robert Guttman: What Is Wrong With This Picture?\";s:4:\"link\";s:84:\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-guttman/what-is-wrong-with-this-p_b_463081.html\";s:2:\"id\";s:50:\"tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2010:/theblog//3.463081\";s:9:\"published\";s:20:\"2010-02-15T22:23:05Z\";s:7:\"updated\";s:20:\"2010-02-15T22:49:04Z\";s:7:\"summary\";s:180:\"Historically, hardly anyone pays attention to what former vice presidents have to say.

The new book on John Edwards, <i>The Politician</i> is moving up on the bestseller lists making people aware of what a dreadful person the former senator turned out to be.</p>\n\n<p>And, even former Vice-president Dan Quayle is back in the news telling reporters in Arizona that his son is going to run for public office.</p>\n\n<p>I cannot think of any time in our political history where vice-presidents or former vice presidential candidates were such newsmakers.</p>\n\n<p>What is going on?</p>\n\n<p>Vice President Joe Biden is and has always been a colorful character and he should be applauded for his outspoken views.  He is a forceful advocate for the president\'s national security policies.  As the former head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee he is an integral part of the president\'s foreign policy team and a behind the scenes decision maker.   </p>\n\n<p>The current vice president has never been at a loss for words and even while he is attending the Olympics in Vancouver is always ready to give a notable comment.</p>\n\n<p>Why former Vice President Dick Cheney has set himself up as the key spokesman for the Bush administration is a mystery.  He is far too strident in his comments and it is highly unusual for him to be this out front in his criticisms of the Obama administration.  Cheney should let his record stand or fall on the views of historians. The former VP should quit trying so hard to make his case that what Bush-Cheney did was so correct and Obama is so wrong. History is not so black and white and Cheney talking all the time and criticizing all the time will not change what was done--good or bad--during his time in office.  It might be good for him to take some time off from his critical comments of Obama and Biden.</p>\n\n<p>To his credit, former President George W. Bush has remained quiet and let Cheney be out front in criticizing the current president. </p>\n\n<p>Then we have former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin whose every move and comment is carried as Breaking News.  Let us all back off and let the former GOP vice-presidential candidate learn about national and foreign affairs before we hear everything she has to say.  She has no program and is mainly good news to cover because of her cutesy comments about \"how is that change and hope thing going\".  </p>\n\n<p>She has only been on the national scene for a short period of time and has very little knowledge of foreign affairs and national security so stop covering her and her remarks because they are of little value to any of us.</p>\n\n<p>As Senator John Kerry recently stated, the Edwards scandal is a \"Greek tragedy.\"  <i>The Politician</i> shows that Edwards was an egomaniac who was willing to sacrifice the Democratic Party to his shortcomings.  No one could make this all up.  It will be a movie soon.</p>\n\n<p>Edwards was a total phony who could have sunk the Democratic Party if he had been the 2008 presidential candidate.  He is a self-centered individual who should never have been part of the national political scene.  The former vice presidential candidate who ran with John Kerry is really a disgrace and a soap opera we should quickly turn off.</p>\n\n<p>There you have it: vice-presidents and vice presidential candidates being newsmakers when they should be left to the obscurity they so richly deserve.</p>\n\n<p>And, who is one of the biggest draws for the Democrats and environmentalists these days?  Former Vice President Al Gore. </p>\n\n<p>So there is hope that if you become a VP or a VP candidate you won\'t sink into oblivion.</p>\n        \n	        More on Dick Cheney\n	\n    \n<p><a

A political source tells PIX News the governor will meet with editors of the New York Times tomorrow to answer questions regarding their investigation into his personal conduct.</p>\n<p>The Times had been expected to publish a &#8220;bombshell&#8221; story as early as Monday, and that the governor&#8217;s resignation was likely to follow.</p>\n<p>According to a source, the story hasn&#8217;t run yet because reporters were seeking additional corroboration and because attempts were still being made to have the governor respond to the allegations, which reportedly involve the governor and other women in a possible sex scandal.

He wants Northrop Grumman to get a contract for a tanker that would bring 1,500 jobs to Alabama, and he wants some dildo thing called the &#8220;Terrorist Explosives Devices Analytical Center&#8221; to be built, in Alabama, and he will not allow 70 important jobs to be filled until he gets his stupid tanker and stupid dildo cunt factory. How does he explain this, the Shelby Shakedown &#8212; or as the <i>really</i> vulgar folk call it, the Questionable Application of Political Leverage by United States Senator Richard Shelby? <span id=\"more-413571\"></span></p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the gist of the statement from whatever weiner-salad works in Shelby&#8217;s office:</p>\n<blockquote><p>“Senator Shelby has placed holds on several pending nominees due to unaddressed national security concerns,” Mr. Graffeo wrote. “Among his concerns is that nearly 10 years after the U.S. Air Force announced plans to replace the aging tanker fleet, we still do not have a transparent and fair acquisition process to move forward. The Department of Defense must recognize that the draft Request for Proposal needs to be significantly and substantively changed.”</p>\n<p>“Senator Shelby is also deeply concerned that the administration will not release the funds already appropriated to the F.B.I. to build the Terrorist Explosives Devices Analytical Center. This decision impedes the U.S. military, the intelligence community, and federal law enforcement personnel in their missions to exploit and analyze intelligence information critical to fighting terrorism and ensuring American security worldwide.</p>\n<p>“The Obama administration wants to read terrorists our Miranda rights and try them in U.S. courts but is impeding the processing of evidence that could lead to convictions.”</p></blockquote>\n<p>Rahm, on cellphone: GIVE THE FUCKING RETARD WHAT HE MOTHERFUCKING FUCKING WANTS?

How does he explain this, the Shelby Shakedown &#8212; or as the <i>really</i> vulgar folk call it, the Questionable Application of Political Leverage by United States Senator Richard Shelby? <span id=\"more-413571\"></span></p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the gist of the statement from whatever weiner-salad works in Shelby&#8217;s office:</p>\n<blockquote><p>“Senator Shelby has placed holds on several pending nominees due to unaddressed national security concerns,” Mr. Graffeo wrote. “Among his concerns is that nearly 10 years after the U.S. Air Force announced plans to replace the aging tanker fleet, we still do not have a transparent and fair acquisition process to move forward. The Department of Defense must recognize that the draft Request for Proposal needs to be significantly and substantively changed.”</p>\n<p>“Senator Shelby is also deeply concerned that the administration will not release the funds already appropriated to the F.B.I. to build the Terrorist Explosives Devices Analytical Center. This decision impedes the U.S. military, the intelligence community, and federal law enforcement personnel in their missions to exploit and analyze intelligence information critical to fighting terrorism and ensuring American security worldwide.</p>\n<p>“The Obama administration wants to read terrorists our Miranda rights and try them in U.S. courts but is impeding the processing of evidence that could lead to convictions.”</p></blockquote>\n<p>Rahm, on cellphone: GIVE THE FUCKING RETARD WHAT HE MOTHERFUCKING FUCKING WANTS?

Yesterday, we all learned of Young Levi&#8217;s political plans: <a href=\"http://wonkette.com/417282/levi-johnston-to-run-for-political-office-on-television-just-like-jesus\">He wants to run for mayor of Wasilla,</a> because he heard about this other idiot who managed to become mayor of Wasilla. But his bastard child&#8217;s sketchy old granny (Sarah Palin) isn&#8217;t even mayor of Wasilla anymore, so this wouldn&#8217;t really be the SMACKDOWN Levi and the <i>Us Weekly</i>/<i>Entertainment Tonight</i> industrial complex so badly requires, for America. Turns out some old <i>dude</i> is mayor of <a href=\"http://wonkette.com/402639/take-a-tour-of-beautiful-wasilla-alaska\">Alaska&#8217;s blue-tarp gravel pit,</a> and this old dude doesn&#8217;t even dig Levi&#8217;s fresh moves! <span id=\"more-417324\"></span></p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s check in with the <a href=\"http://www.etonline.com/news/2010/08/89961/index.html\">three-paragraph &#8220;E.T.&#8221; article,</a> for details!</p>\n<blockquote><p>Mayor Verne E. Rupright tells ET, &#8220;Well, it is a little early to declare. Usually most wait until the year the seat is up. But since I am nearly old enough to be Levi&#8217;s grandfather I think it would be wise for him to get a high school diploma and keep his clothes on. The voters like that!&#8221; </p></blockquote>\n<p>Yeah whatever, in Wasilla you&#8217;re &#8220;nearly old enough&#8221; to be somebody&#8217;s grandparent when you&#8217;re about 27 and getting both your GED and your ninth tattoo.

Uh, but didn&#8217;t Kucinich sort of <i>choose to help Obama win the nomination</i>, in 2008? It&#8217;s hard to remember through the Fog of War &#038; Fog of Bongs, but Kucinich did indeed tell his supporters to back Obama in the crucial Iowa primary.

That was a critical decision, since Obama only narrowly beat former North Carolina Senator John Edwards, who was making a big play for liberal backing.&#8221; First Lady Rielle Hunter would be doing witchcraft in Spain today if not for this clutch Iowa assist from Dennis K., right? No, but Acting President Sarah Palin would probably be <i>nuking</i> Spain today, to kill the Mexicans in Arizona.

or Chicagotown, where there are no races or post-racial relations at the polls to watch today. So let&#8217;s watch everybody else&#8217;s races!</p>\n<p>At this moment we are still awaiting the results of the Georgia gubernatorial primary runoff starring Republicans Nathan &#8220;the Real Deal&#8221; Deal and Karen &#8220;Love Handels&#8221; Handel. Some election competitions in Colorado are still up in the air, too. And maybe some other races are still undecided? Let&#8217;s go look for some more RESULTS.<span id=\"more-417312\"></span></p>\n<p>11:19 PM — Democratic Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet WON his primary race. In case you didn&#8217;t know. Tonight he will make love to his wife, after they have some champagne and sugary candy.</p>\n<p>11:23 PM — Just checked Bennet&#8217;s <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bennet\">Wikipedia</a> to make sure he&#8217;s hetero. He is! His wife is named Susan.</p>\n<p>11:27 PM — In Minnesota, the Congressional District Two Democratic primary race between Shelley <strike>Madoff</strike> Madore and Dan Powers is still up in the air. Shelley Madore runs a thing called the <a href=\"http://madoreforcongress.com/content/35-cent-tour\">35 Cent Tour</a> that calls out Republican incumbent John Kline for his &#8220;&#8216;no pork&#8217; ideology,&#8221; which apparently is bullshit.</p>\n<p>11:32 PM — Michele Bachmann seems to still be winning her &#8220;uncontested&#8221; Republican primary, but there might be a last-minute upset.</p>\n<p>11:35 PM — Out in mountain-y, square Colorado, the House District Three Republican primary race is still rewarding us with suspense and mystery, as Scott Tipton and Bob McConnell await their fates. Tipton has a plan for fixing America! You can read it <a href=\"http://www.votetipton.com/fix-america\">here</a>; it&#8217;s not even that long. It might be useless in about an hour, though. </p>\n<p>11:42 PM — Here are some of Scott Tipton&#8217;s supporters, posing with their stuffed elephant doll/life coach. Hey, didn&#8217;t Michelle Obama wear a fannypack like that once? Better destroy it fast, there could be muslins inside:</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/38878_1572658675143_1195827027_1610812_376198_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-417316\" /></p>\n<p>11:44 PM — Ken Buck WON! This is because the Bible said, &#8220;all Kens are winners.&#8221; As part of his victory package Buck gets to run for Senate some more, and also receives a holiday vacation for two to sunny Acapulco so he can hate Mexicans to their faces. </p>\n<p>11:49 PM — As cool as Scott Tipton looks in his jeans, Bob McConnell looks even cooler in his <a href=\"http://www.mcconnellforcongress.com/\">working-man&#8217;s hat</a>. He&#8217;s already bringing back Williamsburg fashion circa 2005, to communicate with the Millennials better:</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/trucker-hat.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"339\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-417319\" /></p>\n<p>11:54 PM — Have you watched Bob McConnell shoot his gun at Osama bin Laden yet? &#8220;I love firearms,&#8221; he says:</p>\n<p><object width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/zKmY-yefhug&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\"></param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"></param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"></param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/zKmY-yefhug&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\"></embed></object></p>\n<p>11:56 PM — McConnell just wants us all to understand what he does, with the guns. Um, no thanks!</p>\n<p>11:59 PM — Why won&#8217;t Michele Bachmann just CONCEDE???</p>\n<p>Midnight — The Colorado Republican gubernatorial winner is still uncalled, with Dan Maes enjoying a slight lead over Scott McInnis. Will Maes ride the UN-purchased <a href=\"http://wonkette.com/417174/colorado-gop-gov-candidate-saves-american-from-un-bicycle-conspiracy\">Illuminati 10-speed</a> to <em>victoire</em>? </p>\n<p>12:07 AM — Michael Bennet just passed the bowl—of M&#038;M&#8217;s!—to his wife. </p>\n<p>12:10 AM — Ken Buck just led some of his Teabagger supporters in a rousing version of &#8220;We Shall Overcome&#8221; for the eighth time this evening. They are savoring tonight&#8217;s victory, but thinking about the long road to November. </p>\n<p>12:13 AM — Shelley <strike>Matador</strike> Madore won the House District Two Democratic primary! Give that gal a goddamned victory lollipop.

In Connecticut, Linda McMahon is rasslin&#8217; her way to the Republican Senate nomination while Ned Lamont is quickly becoming a sore-loserman for the Democrats&#8217; gubernatorial prize. In Minnesota, Michele Bachmann&#8217;s race is uncontested and has been called, but we continue to hold out Hopeyesque hope. In Colorado, results are coming in ROBOT FAST from the mile-high robot voters who cast ballots in the tight races there.

The Teabagger Caucus lives!<br />\n9:53 PM — Perhaps the robots only make up only 59% or so of the Colorado electorate, as returns there have now slowed to a trickle. Everyone who was leading before is still leading.<br />\n9:58 PM — Connecticut GOP-Sen has been called for Linda McMahon.

Scott McInnis has dropped down to 50.3% of the vote, just 0.6% ahead of Dan Maes. Does this mean the next Colorado governor will ALLOW the communists to take over America with their bikes? No, because Maes will plagiarize McInnis&#8217; bike-burning policy.<br />\n10:12 PM — Nathan Deal is barely leading in the Republican gubernatorial run-off in Georgia right now, 50.4%-49.6%, with 96% of precincts reporting. That is a slim lead, about the size of a kiddie pool full of grits, which is not a coincidence.

Tonight we journey to Minnesota, Connecticut, Colorado, and Georgia: &#8220;Gee, I cut onto a mooing nostril accordance&#8221; is your prescient anagram of these states. What does it <em>mean</em>? We will soon find out. Polls have just closed in Connecticut, an hour after Georgia. Minnesota and Colorado will chop off the hands of people who have not voted at 9 PM (Eastern). And your Wonkette has a laptop filled with Internet to provide you the <em>very latest</em> in random items from candidates&#8217; websites they uploaded months ago. LET&#8217;S LIVEBLOG, JESUS FANS. <span id=\"more-417300\"></span></p>\n<p>8:08 PM — Polls closed in Connecticut 8 minutes ago. Eight minutes later, we can confirm that state is still ugly to drive through.<br />\n8:12 PM — Georgia already had primaries, but tonight they have run-offs. Is this because they want double the Wonkette liveblogging, or was this originally a way to keep the blacks down? Probably the latter.<br />\n8:16 PM — With 15% reporting, a supposed dude, Nathan Deal, is leading a supposed lady, Karen Handel, by a narrow margin, 51.7%-48.3%, in the Republican gubernatorial run-off. These candidates are probably both white, so we shall give the early advantage to Deal, because men generally run faster than women, and this is a running contest.<br />\n8:19 PM — <a href=\"http://wonkette.com/416775/emergency-wonkette-endorsement-jody-hice-for-whatever-hes-running-for\">Wonkette-endorsed</a> Jody Hice is LOSING his GA-7 run-off to Rob Woodall right now, 58%-42% with 40% in. But he already took his oath of office!<br />\n8:28 PM — About 3% of Connect-I-Cut is reporting, and Linda McMahon is winning her rasslin&#8217; primary right now with 48% of the vote, with two other candidates splitting the rest. Rich Joe-Lieberman-jowl victim Ned Lamont is losing his Democratic primary for governor to &#8220;Dan Malloy&#8221; by about 13 points right now. The Connecticut for Lieberman primary appears to be uncontested, because we can&#8217;t find any results. We can find results for the Democratic Senate primary, though. Nobody is contesting Richard Blumenthal, just like the Vietnam War never contested Richard Blumenthal.<br />\n8:41 PM — The Deal-Handel race in Georgia is the big race so far, at least according to Dave Weigel on Twitter, though perhaps he just wants to impress us with his knowledge of Georgia county names. Deal is endorsed by Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee, whereas Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney endorsed Handel. This is being called a &#8220;proxy&#8221; race for the 2012 GOP nomination president. So Gingrich-Huckabee will DEFINITELY be your ticket that&#8217;s sworn in in January 2013. It does seem strange that Palin would endorse the same candidate as an ELITIST Mormon like Romney, by the way, but it&#8217;s likely he endorsed Handel because Handel is a better opera composer.<br />\n8:48 PM — Here is the Nathan Deal teevee ad that will MAKE LIBRULS MAD. He doesn&#8217;t care how much money it will take for Georgia law enforcement to deport the Mexicans. They will round them up and drive them to the Georgia-Mexico border and the problem will be solved! Now watch him put his hands on these small children who are fishing by themselves unwatched by their parents.<br />\n<object width=\"494\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/qtlKzckj_5s&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\"></param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"></param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"></param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/qtlKzckj_5s&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"494\" height=\"385\"></embed></object><br />\n8:54 PM — Here is another ad from former Rep. Nathan Deal, this time with a woman with an adorable drawl spewing implied hate. According to these flying quotes, Handel, who is a former state Secretary of State, once suggested that she supported domestic parter benefits for people who are not straight! And she supported the gays being able to ADOPT Georgia&#8217;s parent-less suicidal foster kids. Ewwwwwwwwww! Gross! Thankfully, Nathan Deal is here to let us know that he opposes abortion and illegal immigration. &#8220;I&#8217;m a man,&#8221; he says. PHEW!<br />\n<object width=\"494\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/3l2m_-PRDno&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\"></param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"></param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"></param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/3l2m_-PRDno&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"494\" height=\"385\"></embed></object><br />\n9:00 PM — Oh, these images from <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/DealforGovernor2010\">Nathan Deal&#8217;s Facebook account</a> are fun. Hooray traditional gender roles! Men carry purses, and women carry guns. WAIT, NO, GOSH, HEDONISM! WE MIXED THOSE UP! You know what else men do that women don&#8217;t? Hold the governorship of Georgia. Congratulations on Nathan Deal still leading this race!<br />\n<img src=\"http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/38755_1528888112104_1531767632_31353867_4501282_n.jpg\" width=\"494\" /><br />\n<img src=\"http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/39893_1528888392111_1531767632_31353868_6843496_n.jpg\" width=\"494\" /><br />\n9:03 PM — Polls are closed in Colorado and Minnesota. The marketing people for <em>Juno</em> e-mailed us to let us know that the stripper &#8220;poll&#8221; in Minnesota is closed for screenwriter Diablo Cody and also <em>Juno</em> is still available on DVD and Blu-Ray.<br />\n9:06 PM — &#8220;There are many ways to promote a campaign. Some folks believe Nathan will mow down the competition. Thanks Larry Hyde of Cartersville for showing your support.&#8221; Yes, thanks bro!<br />\n<img src=\"http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/34978_405247336524_166253651524_4877614_6966532_n.jpg\" width=\"494\" /><br />\n9:11 PM — Oh God, the MN-6 GOP primary has already been called for Michele Bachmann, <em>just because she&#8217;s uncontested</em>. But we will still hold out hope for a close race. And still hold out hope for Bachmann pageviewz. (It&#8217;s 9:11 right now. COINCIDENCE?)<br />\n9:13 PM — Here is a lovely photo of a &#8220;can-do conservative.&#8221; (Is that plane a time machine? Is that Future Trig here to endorse the man his mother wouldn&#8217;t?) Deal&#8217;s supporters sure look like the peachy cream of the Georgia crop.<br />\n<img src=\"http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/33536_413356626524_166253651524_5100477_4038610_n.jpg\" width=\"494\" /><br />\n9:17 PM — We should just stop posting Deal Facebook photos right now because HERE IS A PICTURE OF A DEAL SUPPORTER STIRRING A KIDDIE POOL FULL OF GRITS. With 79% reporting, Deal up 2 points, and, most importantly, this kiddie pool full of grits, we officially call this race for Nathan Deal.<br />\n<img src=\"http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/24869_381750791524_166253651524_4276231_8078898_n.jpg\" width=\"494\" /><br />\n9:20 PM — Weigel says Lamont is <a href=\"http://twitter.com/daveweigel/statuses/20842735262\">&#8220;going down in flames&#8221;</a> in Connecticut right now. Stop, Ned! Don&#8217;t self-immolate! That won&#8217;t help you win!<br />\n9:28 PM — Woah, these Colorado results come in quick! All the big races here are rather close. Sen. Michael Bennet is leading Andrew Romanoff in the Democratic race 54%-46% with 57% in. Teabagger Ken Buck is leading Jane Norton for GOP Sen 51.1%-48.9. Bike-plot-exposer Dan Maes is leading plagiarist Scott McInnis 52.1%-47.9% for GOP gov.<br />\n9:44 PM — Get out of here!
