Here's the preview,and the segment is roughly fifteen minutes. Enjoy.Remember Barak Obama four years ago? An inaugural moment in history steeped in a new language of Hope and Change and Conciliation. Four years on,it is as if he's borrowed a phrase from one of his best-known critics: Go ahead,make my day. Despite the inaugural pomp and partying scheduled for today,this President Obama appears to be spoiling for a fight. Today,we have a panel of Washington insiders pronouncing on the Good,the Bad and the Ugly side of what is expected to be a rougher,tougher second Obama administration.The Chuck Hagel Witch-Hunt When Sen. John McCain said,even after his testy confirmation hearing exchange with Defense Secretary-designate Chuck Hagel,that he wouldn't support a?filibuster?of the candidate,it seemed like Hagel's confirmation battle had?come to an anti-climactic end.
The final libel,Thomson told the court,was the allegation that Prince Albert "had paid his allegedly reluctant bride for going through with the marriage with the intent of allowing her afterwards to annul the marriage quietly"."None of these allegations are true," said Thomson in the statement agreed with the paper."The article caused the newly-wed couple enormous upset and embarrassment," he added,particularly in view of the worldwide interest in their marriage.Vermont Law Offers Professors Buyouts The other day I predicted that declining law school enrollments would lead to law professors losing their jobs. I didn't realize it would happen quite so soon,however: Vermont Law School cut a dozen jobs earlier this week in a move telegraphed last year,when the school offered voluntary buyouts to staff members in light of declining admissions.
Isn't that enough? Why should we let columnists work up a pointless,never-ending debate about morality and procedure,based on suspicion and innuendo? Fans seem to have moved on. Why can't MLB do the same?Tim Marchman takes a far more hostile approach to the league in his extraordinary and worthwhile J'accuse in Deadspin. Marchman takes it as a given that MLB basing its case on the say-so of a sketchy Floridian drug-dealer is preposterous. Bosch is a desperate man. He has been harassed by an MLB lawsuit,and he's talking in exchange for legal protections and a very troubling "good word" to federal or state law enforcement. Further,MLB seems to be engaging in a pretty dirty campaign in the press,
cnnhkids.com,letting these players dangle under suspicion while MLB takes its good time working over Bosch and his associates in a room that I like to imagine is dimly lit and resounding with reverb.
I also never felt it necessary to drive so hammered that I ended up killing my friend.It's the grandiosity and entitlement that creates somebody who thinks they can win the battle of life. Not so.In the past two weeks,I've had players and coaches on my radio show and to the man,they say,"of course it's awful,but nobody listens to reality." It's hard to do when you get paid to be tough. Hard to do when you make millions of dollars to be the man. Hard to listen when your own voices are louder than your Creator's.The answers could be gun control,Breathalyzer gadgets on their vehicles,harsher curfews,taking away game checks and so on,but it's pretty damn tough to get a handle on grandiosity and entitlement,even when the horrible consequences are right there on the front pages.
Another example of fruitful co-operation between the NoW and police? I simply don't know.So it's potentially tricky for Houdini, one to watch. Murdoch's backing for the SNP via the Scottish Sun at the last election is what PhD students of Rupertery would expect: he's a dealmaker. SNP, Tories, Republican, Democrat, Chinese Communist party, he's loved them all in his day. Who's counting?Speaking personally, I think Alex Salmond should feel so grateful to Rupert Murdoch that he'd volunteer to polish his shoes every morning. Why? Because back in 1995, 20th Century Fox funded Braveheart, a fantasy movie about the Scots patriot William Wallace. It violates history almost as much as other movies starring that chippy anti-Brit Australian (remind you of anyone?) Mel Gibson.
I think that's the whole conceit of the show,
marc by marc jacobs bag,and it's one that I buy into. I'm the one who looks at the character. Hank wasn't stupid,so he got close. He figured out the whole elaborate Gus Fring thing. He got the Jesse Pinkman stuff. But it was just so implausible that the Walter White Hank knew could ever possibly be this Heisenberg guy. And that's a central point of the whole show: it's the guy next door who commits a mass murder,and the neighbors always go,
www.cnnhkids.com,"He was such a nice guy. He was quiet."So I don't think it was failing of Hank Schrader. It's what we do as human beings--we slot people into certain categories. Walt was his brother. How could this guy Hank had barbecues with,and hung out with,and who has a baby--it's not even plausible that he could be Heisenberg.
Hassan is the kind of political candidate whom a flack can gladly saddle with a reporter for seven hours—through forums,handshaking and vote-courting,lipstick application and shoe changes,speech edits and even the state Democratic Party's fundraising dinner. That's because Hassan,during my day with her and according to her loyal staff,is that rarest of politicians: largely the same person in the car as she is in front of voters on the trail.That quality is perhaps native to New Hampshire,a compact state where a car can take you from mountains to ocean in under an hour. The members of its 400-person state house—the country's second-largest elected body after the U.S. House of Representatives—are paid $100-a-year for their service,and it seems like practically everyone in the state has served,or has a friend,family member,or neighbor who has.
But Dinkins had hired this guy Lynch,who had run local campaigns in Harlem going back to the 1970s. Lynch was a real under-the-hood guy. Themes and big ideas and so forth were other people's departments. He reached into the neighborhoods and made sure people were knocking on doors. He introduced this person to that one,let them get to know each other,see that they could work together. He worked the endorsements. Dinkins got a lot of surprising ones that year. It was partly the zeitgeist. The air was thick was racial tension,and Koch,by the end of his third term and seeking a fourth,no longer bothered much to cloak his animosities. Then a young black man,Yusuf Hawkins,was killed by some white thugs out in Bensonhurst,and enough voters decided to try the candidate who made unity central to his platform.
