Sunday Roundup
21 Jan 2012 | 11:00 pmThis week, Rick Perry closed out his presidential run while Newt Gingrich's second ex-wife claimed he'd wanted an open marriage -- and President Obama brought down the house at the Apollo by revealing his heretofore hidden inner-Al Green. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney, unable to counter the hardening narrative that he's a tone deaf, out of touch mega-millionaire, didn't help matters with his response to being asked about his tax returns. When you are being booed for lack of financial transparency by a GOP debate crowd, odds are you've probably royally screwed up. It's never a good idea -- and… -
Calling All Mothers, Calling All Babies: Introducing HuffPost Global Motherhood
19 Jan 2012 | 12:26 pmI'm delighted to announce the launch of Global Motherhood, a new section within HuffPost Impact dedicated to the health and well being of mothers and babies around the world, and sponsored by Johnson & Johnson. In 2010, Johnson & Johnson launched its text4baby app in an attempt to use technology to improve the lives of mothers and babies. It was the first free mobile health service in the U.S., providing timely health information via text messages to pregnant women and new moms throughout their baby's first year. As any mother knows, that first year is a time of great joy but also a… -
Country in Crisis: Looking to America's Mayors to Rise to the Challenge
17 Jan 2012 | 9:06 amOn Wednesday, I'll be speaking at the winter meeting of the United States Conference of Mayors in Washington (a winter meeting in Washington? Doesn't Miami have a mayor, too?). Given the state of politics these days, going to Washington to give a speech about anything having to do with national affairs would normally be a depressing prospect. But, in fact, while the conference might be in Washington, what's being discussed, explored, championed, shared, and imagined is all about what's going on outside of Washington. And by "Washington" I mean our broken national political system, not…

Nancy Pelosi Lays Plan To Regain House Speakership
27 Jan 2012 | 10:06 pmWashington -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is predicting that Democrats will recapture the House in November, a move that could open the possibility of the San Francisco Democrat regaining the speakership and becoming the first politician to return to that office after a defeat since Texas Democrat Sam Rayburn in 1955.Pelosi, 71, needs a net gain of 25 Democrats nationwide, a goal she calls her "Drive for 25." She has predicted gains as large as 35, produced in part by a Democratic romp through California, where the redrawing of legislative districts by a nonpartisan citizens commission… -

Dennis Santiago: Four More Bank Closures Mark the Week of January 27, 2012
27 Jan 2012 | 8:14 pmThe FDIC shuttered four additional banks today bringing the 2012 count to seven. The four banks closed were BankEast in Knoxville, Tenn., Patriot Bank Minnesota in Forest Lake, Minn., Tennessee Commerce Bank in Franklin, Tenn. and First Guaranty Bank and Trust Company of Jacksonville in Jacksonville, Fla. The general pattern of the FDIC closing banks with weak operating characteristics and deepening asset quality troubles continues. All four banks found buyers and will be spending the weekend changing over to their new owners. Forensic analysis pages for these banks can be found here: First… -
Courtney Garcia: Sundance, Ice-T, and Shades of the American Race in Cinema
27 Jan 2012 | 6:03 pmSundance, for me, begins and ends with Ice-T. Attending for the first time this year, I landed Saturday amidst a disastrous snowstorm, and, due to time constrictions, was forced to schlep my suitcase around in the blizzard. Plus, I forgot my hat (I live in California!). Nevertheless, I remained calm in the face of meteorological adversity, knowing my reward was the premiere of Something From Nothing, Ice-T's documentary on the craft of hip hop. The film, as expected, was worth the vexing hustle. At any given moment, I was rapping with Grandmaster Caz and B Real; smiling to hear Dre talk Pac;… -
Wendy Kopp: We Need to Put Education on the Global Agenda
27 Jan 2012 | 5:25 pmOn arrival at Davos I wrote about how appropriate the "transformation and new models" theme of this year's World Economic Forum is for framing what needs to happen in education. What I'm realizing a few days into the Forum however is that the topic of education really isn't on the agenda at all! We've addressed everything but -- the threats to our economic strength, our environment, our public safety, our health. We've addressed youth unemployment and the need for international cooperation and collaboration. But we just aren't focusing on education or on the need to address the enormous… -
Jim Harris: Occupy Davos?
27 Jan 2012 | 4:43 pmThere's the published agenda for the World Economic Forum (WEF) this week in Davos -- and then there are the elephants in the room. "Severe income disparity" is the most likely risk facing business and political leaders according to the World Economic Forum's Global Risk 2012 Report. This finding really caught me by surprise. So while the Occupy Wall Street movement isn't anywhere on the agenda here at WEF in Davos, its impact has been very much felt. "Capitalism, in its current form, no longer fits the world." A statement from an occupy protester? No, it was uttered by WEF Founder Klaus… -
Lorraine Devon Wilke: Election 2012, the Series: Bridezillas, Revenge or The Housewives of D.C.?

Twitter's New Censorship Policy Ignites Global Outrage
27 Jan 2012 | 9:38 pmNEW YORK — Twitter, a tool of choice for dissidents and activists around the world, found itself the target of global outrage Friday after unveiling plans to allow country-specific censorship of tweets that might break local laws. It was a stunning role reversal for a youthful company that prides itself in promoting unfettered expression, 140 characters at a time. Twitter insisted its commitment to free speech remains firm, and sought to explain the nuances of its policy, while critics – in a barrage of tweets – proposed a Twitter boycott and demanded that the censorship… -
Harvard Kennedy School Democrats: The Republican Approach to Foreign Policy: Less Is More

Newt Gingrich did not physically attack either Mitt Romney or a member of the media, for which we can all be thankful. The deep and pressing issue-of-the-day seriously discussed was putting a manned base on the moon -- which will come as a relief to the legions of voters who have been clamoring for this crucially-important subject to be adequately debated in public.

Stewart J. Lawrence: Post-Florida, Expect a Nasty Dogfight for the GOP Nomination
27 Jan 2012 | 6:25 pmLook at the latest GOP polls coming out of Florida. It appears that Mitt Romney is slowly pulling away from Newt Gingrich, opening up a 9-point lead in the most recent poll, with just four days left before next Tuesday's critical, winner-take-all primary. You might think that means that Romney is also leading Gingrich nationally. You'd be wrong. Gingrich, while slipping in Florida, is actually pulling ahead of Romney. The two latest national polls have Gingrich leading by 8-9 points, a slight increase over the smaller Gingrich lead from last week. Since state and national polling has been… -
Ediberto Roman: Senator Marco Rubio, The GOP Golden Boy, Impresses
27 Jan 2012 | 5:45 pmSen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), delivered an impressive speech today on what is, or what surely will be one of the hot-button issues in this year's presidential election -- immigration. The speech, at the Hispanic Leadership Network, did not start easily for what many believe is on a short list for the eventual Republican nominee's pick to be the vice-presidential running mate. Senator Rubio did little to disappoint the party's faithful. He was indeed impressive. Whether his impressive approach elevates the conversation and results in change that benefits this country is, however, still an open… -
The Sunlight Foundation: Gingrich Super PAC Super Donor Sheldon Adelson Has Businesses Under Scrutiny by IRS, Justice

Billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his wife, Miriam, who have reportedly given a combined $10 million to Winning Our Future, the super PAC that supports and is run by former staffers of Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, were reportedly drawn to him by a shared view of the importance of the U.S. relationship to Israel. But a review of public records by Sunlight suggests that the couple, who appears to be the former House speaker's most generous political patrons pending the filing…

Romney Compares Gingrich To 'Goldilocks' For Debate Crowd Gripes
27 Jan 2012 | 7:42 pmORLANDO, Fla. -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was upbeat and energetic after his solid debate performance in Jacksonville the night before, telling the crowd at a rally on Friday evening, "I had fun last night, I gotta tell 'ya!" He used the opportunity to take a shot at former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who failed to deliver the blow needed to knock Romney from his momentum in the run-up to Tuesday's Florida primary. "Speaker Gingrich said the debate before last night -- that the crowd wasn't allowed to cheer, and so he couldn't do so well because the crowd was too quiet," said… -
North Dakota Law Restricting Medication Abortion Is Challenged On 'Undue Burden' Grounds
27 Jan 2012 | 6:53 pmThere is only one abortion clinic in North Dakota, and state lawmakers passed a bill last summer that would effectively ban medication abortions across the state. After the Center for Reproductive Rights filed a challenge, seeking to overturn the measure, a judge in July issued a temporary restraining order against implementation of the law. The center's lawyers are now seeking a temporary injunction, arguing the measure pushes the limits of what the Supreme Court would deem an "undue burden" on women's right to abortion. An attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights argued in district…

Faisal J. Abbas: To Be Free, Twitter Must Not Be Free
27 Jan 2012 | 4:45 pmWhat makes social media an interesting field to study and follow is that you simply can't predict what will happen next; it's a world where things change every moment, where a simple 'tweet' could reach millions with a press of a button and a Facebook page could help bring down governments. The one thing that was always constant was that most people believed that humanity has finally developed a medium that is truly democratic, in the sense that is it is free from any means of control or influence which could prevent a message from reaching the masses as it was intended by the sender.

Who Should Die On 'Desperate Housewives'?

Leslie Griffith: Anchors and Reporters: Stop Going Down With the Ship
27 Jan 2012 | 4:03 pmIn the U.K., news "anchors" are called "presenters." It's high time we make that distinction here in America, too. Those who read the news and interview others are little more than highly paid middle men. Wall Street taught us that middlemen and women do not always work in our best interest. Without putting real boots on the ground, these celebrity anchors do interviews... push opinions around... and give anyone with an agenda and a tenacious agent, public relations firm, or powerful political consultant... access to their coveted audience. Consider the erosion in trust this behavior causes. -
Gingrich: Rival Will 'Mislead, Distort And Deceive'
27 Jan 2012 | 3:44 pmNewt Gingrich's campaign released a web video attacking Mitt Romney Friday, hitting the former Massachusetts governor for his efforts to "mislead, distort and deceive" on the campaign trail. Gingrich's team used several of Romney's comments from Thursday night's Republican presidential debate as fodder for the ad, which claims Romney has told several fibs to win over voters. The video shoots down Romney's claim that he has always voted Republican with reference to the 1992 Massachusetts primary, when Romney voted for a "liberal Democrat" instead of Pat Buchanan or George H.W. Bush. The spot…

The one thing that was always constant was that most people believed that humanity has finally developed a medium that is truly democratic, in the sense that is it is free from any means of control or influence which could prevent a message from reaching the masses as it was intended by the sender. People,… -
Lorraine Devon Wilke: Election 2012, the Series: Bridezillas, Revenge or The Housewives of D.C.?
27 Jan 2012 | 4:23 pmThis election process of ours has become reminiscent of an overcooked, deeply redundant television series written by a cabal of hacks with no concern for freshness of tone or inventiveness of detail, relying instead on weary bromides, eye-rolling hyperbole, sophomoric name-calling and the deadening boredom of clichéd characters made interesting only by the manipulated controversies stirred up for the sake of media drama. Welcome to Election 2012, the Series. Unlike a 13-episode arc that can be mercifully cancelled when the audience clicks away to another, less haranguing, form of… -
Leslie Griffith: Anchors and Reporters: Stop Going Down With the Ship
27 Jan 2012 | 4:03 pmIn the U.K., news "anchors" are called "presenters." It's high time we make that distinction here in America, too. Those who read the news and interview others are little more than highly paid middle men. Wall Street taught us that middlemen and women do not always work in our best interest. Without putting real boots on the ground, these celebrity anchors do interviews... push opinions around... and give anyone with an agenda and a tenacious agent, public relations firm, or powerful political consultant... access to their coveted audience. Consider the erosion in trust this behavior causes. -
Christian Josi: America's (Kinda Dark) Sweetheart
27 Jan 2012 | 2:48 pmMortician And Newly-Minted Internet Sensation Caitlin Doughty Wants To Radically Change How We Think About Death, Dying And The Funeral Industry Though I am obviously not of the target demographic, Jezebel -- A Gawker Media property that offers "Celebrity, Sex, Fashion for Women Without Airbrushing" -- is a mild obsession and a must-read in the course of my daily internet travels (after the Huffington Post, that is. *wink*). When I first discovered it, shortly after the 2007 launch, keeping up with the 'Jezebelles' and their musings felt a bit wrong -- as if I were peeking behind a curtain… -
Tribeca Film: Future of Film: What Really Lies Beneath the SOPA Debate?
27 Jan 2012 | 2:32 pmBy Chris Dorr The battle raging around the SOPA bill these past several weeks has been fascinating to watch. There have been a lot of blog posts and interviews full of bluster and confrontation, some sanctimonious, others nasty, and yes, also informative. It is worth spending the time to read them all to get a feel for the complete picture of this epic battle. We are reminded yet again that a great gulf exists between mass media (companies in the movie, TV and music industries) and the tech industry, as broadly defined. This gulf has many features, ranging from the psychological to the…

Who Should Die On 'Desperate Housewives'?
27 Jan 2012 | 4:38 pmNow in its eighth and final season, "Desperate Housewives" is preparing to say goodbye to Wisteria Lane forever. But how does the cast want things to end for their characters? And, more importantly, what are they going to take from the set when the show wraps? I caught up with "Desperate Housewives" stars Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross, Vanessa Williams, Doug Savant and Ricardo Antonio Chavira to find out just that. Plus, with all this talk of someone biting the dust before it's all over, find out what the actors think about the show possibly ending in tragedy. "I think a couple… -
Gingrich: Rival Will 'Mislead, Distort And Deceive'
27 Jan 2012 | 3:44 pmNewt Gingrich's campaign released a web video attacking Mitt Romney Friday, hitting the former Massachusetts governor for his efforts to "mislead, distort and deceive" on the campaign trail. Gingrich's team used several of Romney's comments from Thursday night's Republican presidential debate as fodder for the ad, which claims Romney has told several fibs to win over voters. The video shoots down Romney's claim that he has always voted Republican with reference to the 1992 Massachusetts primary, when Romney voted for a "liberal Democrat" instead of Pat Buchanan or George H.W. Bush. The spot… -
WATCH: Anderson Cooper Freaks Out
27 Jan 2012 | 3:23 pmAnderson Cooper was visibly shocked on his daytime television show "Anderson" on Friday. In fact, he was so surprised that he knocked over the coffee table. Cooper explained that his production staff started doing a new "mystery guest" segment on the show. As the segment title indicates, Cooper had absolutely no idea who was going to walk onto his show next. The mystery guest walked on stage but stood behind a screen, concealed from Cooper. He spoke through a device that altered his voice and gave Cooper a number of clues. Cooper learned that the mystery guest was the godfather to the… -

The 2012 Speculatron Weekly Roundup For Jan. 27, 2012
27 Jan 2012 | 3:20 pmSo, yeah, this campaign season is getting ridiculous. Credit the candidates, we guess! From one week to the next, we have seen the race seesaw between these four candidates we are left with -- some winning primaries, others winning bragging rights -- as the lesser lights of the GOP field have faded away. But this week, the seesaw became a whipsaw as Newt Gingrich went from standing proud to stumbling in a matter of days. The alacrity of how the race at the top flipped was pretty staggering. In South Carolina, Gingrich hadn't merely grabbed the affection of South Carolina voters. He…

PG&E Ordered To Pay Millions For Poor Inspection Of Pipes
27 Jan 2012 | 9:46 pmSAN FRANCISCO -- State regulators plan to fine Pacific Gas & Electric Co. $16.8 million for failing to perform gas leak surveys in the wake of a deadly pipeline explosion in a San Francisco suburb in 2010. The California Public Utilities Commission announced the fine Friday, as part of a new citation program that gives its staff oversight muscle to fine natural gas companies for safety problems spotted on their lines. The Sept. 9, 2010 blast on the transmission line in San Bruno ignited a fireball that killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes. Last year, PG&E self-reported to the commission… -
Twitter's New Censorship Policy Ignites Global Outrage
27 Jan 2012 | 9:38 pmNEW YORK — Twitter, a tool of choice for dissidents and activists around the world, found itself the target of global outrage Friday after unveiling plans to allow country-specific censorship of tweets that might break local laws. It was a stunning role reversal for a youthful company that prides itself in promoting unfettered expression, 140 characters at a time. Twitter insisted its commitment to free speech remains firm, and sought to explain the nuances of its policy, while critics – in a barrage of tweets – proposed a Twitter boycott and demanded that the censorship… -
Business And Social Media Leaders Tackle HIV In Babies
27 Jan 2012 | 9:36 pmDAVOS, Switzerland -- Business and social media leaders teamed up Friday to tackle the transmission of HIV from mothers to babies, saying the medicine and the money are largely in place, and with the right organizational skills they can eliminate HIV-infected births by 2015. John Megrue, CEO of Apax Partners U.S., will chair a business group that includes bankers and consulting experts and will help coordinate work being done by several governments and other international donors, as well as filling in gaps in the funding. Women need to receive antiretroviral drugs to prevent the virus being… -

A partnership was born, and now the duo's Nobu empire has locations around the world, while the original Tribeca location alone boasts more than $8 million in annual revenue and remains one of New York's most coveted reservations.

Wendy Kopp: We Need to Put Education on the Global Agenda
27 Jan 2012 | 5:25 pmOn arrival at Davos I wrote about how appropriate the "transformation and new models" theme of this year's World Economic Forum is for framing what needs to happen in education. What I'm realizing a few days into the Forum however is that the topic of education really isn't on the agenda at all! We've addressed everything but -- the threats to our economic strength, our environment, our public safety, our health. We've addressed youth unemployment and the need for international cooperation and collaboration. But we just aren't focusing on education or on the need to address the enormous… -
The Sunlight Foundation: Gingrich Super PAC Super Donor Sheldon Adelson Has Businesses Under Scrutiny by IRS, Justice
27 Jan 2012 | 5:15 pmThis post was written by Bill Allison, editorial director of the Sunlight Foundation. Billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his wife, Miriam, who have reportedly given a combined $10 million to Winning Our Future, the super PAC that supports and is run by former staffers of Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, were reportedly drawn to him by a shared view of the importance of the U.S. relationship to Israel. But a review of public records by Sunlight suggests that the couple, who appears to be the former House speaker's most generous political patrons pending the filing… -
Jim Harris: Occupy Davos?
27 Jan 2012 | 4:43 pmThere's the published agenda for the World Economic Forum (WEF) this week in Davos -- and then there are the elephants in the room. "Severe income disparity" is the most likely risk facing business and political leaders according to the World Economic Forum's Global Risk 2012 Report. This finding really caught me by surprise. So while the Occupy Wall Street movement isn't anywhere on the agenda here at WEF in Davos, its impact has been very much felt. "Capitalism, in its current form, no longer fits the world." A statement from an occupy protester? No, it was uttered by WEF Founder Klaus… -

27 Jan 2012 | 4:19 pmAmid the heaviest snowfall in Davos for decades, IMF chief Christine Lagarde has been making her case for urgent action to resolve the eurozone crisis, which is at the center of current global economic concerns. The Fund recently sharply revised downward its forecast for global economic growth and in a speech in Berlin Lagarde mapped a way forward. Policy priorities Lagarde has taken her messages to the Alpine resort in Switzerland, where global leaders are gathered for the 42nd Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum. At the top of the agenda is the need to find and implement the policy…

Americans Save Less As Economic Growth Remains Sluggish And Real Wages Fall
27 Jan 2012 | 5:22 pmAt a time that the U.S. economy is struggling to pick up steam, Americans are struggling just to keep up. Over the last three months of last year, income growth stagnated and people across the country dug deeper into their savings than they have in years, according to data released Friday by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. That's despite a pickup in the overall growth of the economy. The 2.8 percent annual growth rate achieved by the U.S. economy in the fourth quarter of 2011 isn't indicative of a sustainable trend, according to economists. It's instead an anomaly, a result of companies…

Maureen Ryan: 'Chuck' Finale Recap: Tears, Jeffster And Triumph

"Chuck, tell me our story." Wasn't the answer Sarah got so much better than an upload from Intersect glasses? I'll go on record right away as saying that I was very pleased with the "Chuck" finale, and I think the last 30 minutes of the final episode rank up there with the absolute best the show has ever done. It got dusty in my house many times during those last two hours, and as a… -

Nevertheless, I remained calm in the face of meteorological adversity, knowing my reward was the premiere of Something From Nothing, Ice-T's documentary on the craft of hip hop.

Jesse Jackson Enters Grammy Discussion, Considers Protesting Award Show

Jesse Jackson is entering the fray over The Recording Academy's cuts to its Grammy categories: He's asking to meet with the president of the organization and has raised the possibility of protests with the awards less than two weeks away. The civil rights activist sent a letter to Neil Portnow, the president and CEO of the Academy, and expressed his dismay over the Academy's decision last April to cut its categories from 109 to 78, the biggest overhaul in its then 53-year history. In the letter, Jackson said he had been talking to members of the entertainment… -

We're really digging Mercedes (Amber Riley) and Sam's (Chord Overstreet) sweet "Human Nature" duet, and Artie (Kevin McHale) "Scream"-worthy track with Mike (Harry Shum Jr.). "Black and White" is also a standout track, and surprisingly not one of the tracks that lead vocalist McHale pitched to Ryan Murphy and the writers. "There's a number that Harry and I are doing that we really fought for, so we were excited to do it," McHale told… -

Julian Sancton: Horror Movie Trailers Should Be Banned
27 Jan 2012 | 4:02 pmThe great thing about America is that I can choose not to go see The Devil Inside. The terrible thing about America is that I can't choose not to see the trailer for The Devil Inside. To be honest, I had it coming: I went to see Mission: Impossible. It's my fault for being part of a demographic that also tends to go to horror movies. For that I deserve to have the crap scared out of me. This has happened to you many times, too: You've paid $12 to go to a dark room and be assaulted. You didn't even go to Duke. There you are at the movies, slurping the dregs of your Cherry Coke during the… -
Scott Mendelson: On the Inherent Darkness and Pessimism of Steven Spielberg...
27 Jan 2012 | 4:01 pmIn the aftermath of the Oscar nominations (analysis HERE), there has been much hand-wringing over the notion that the Academy has embraced 'feel-good' entertainment over darker and more introspective work. The prime example of this false argument (which insists that you ignore the relatively downbeat finales of The Help and Moneyball, among others) is the Best Picture nomination for Steven Spielberg's War Horse (review). Many of the reviews, especially the negative ones, for Steven Spielberg's War Horse have emphasized the melodramatic 'boy and his horse'… -
Mike Ryan: An Obsessive Chat About "One For the Money," With Mike Ryan and AV Club's Alison Willmore

Since One for the Money was not screened early for critics, Alison Willmore (of the A.V. Club and Movieline) plunked down United States currency to see One for the Money at an overnight midnight showing. As I read her review at Movieline, it became obvious that an obsessive chat was necessary. (Spoiler alerts, obviously.) Mike: I saw One for the Money at a junket screening, so your memory of this movie is going to be a lot better than mine. Alison: I…

Is There Something Katherine Heigl Didn't Miss About 'Grey's'?

Friday on "Rachael Ray" (weekdays on ABC), Heigl reiterated many of those same sentiments, but also mentioned one "Grey's" episode she didn't mind missing: last season's widely-panned musical. "I watched the musical episode, which I thought was so fun, and it was crazy to… -

Mondavi Widow To Release Tell-All Memoir
27 Jan 2012 | 8:46 pmEvery town has its legendary families (the Gettys, the Trainas, the Newsoms), and in Napa Valley, one reigns supreme: the Mondavis. From the 1960s until his death, Robert Mondavi was the godfather of wine country lifestyle, complete with wineries, philanthropy, lavish parties, a legendary family and a life of glamorous excess. And this July, his 85-year-old widow Margrit will release a "frank," tell-all memoir. Reportedly, the memoir, ghost-written by author Janet Fletcher, candidly outlines Mondavi's life with Robert, her art and lifestyle and her inside tales of the Napa Valley wine… -

Napoleon Perdis: Desert Chic
27 Jan 2012 | 11:32 amI've been living the desert dream lately, channeling my alter ego of a 'desert rat' in Palm Springs where I am lucky enough to have a home. That soul-stirring expanse of sky and day-long stretches of winter sun topped off by the cool mountain air in the evenings really helps me to reset and reframe after a crazy week in my Hollywood office. The snowbirds are in town right now, jetting into Palm Springs airport from San Francisco, Chicago, Minneapolis and Toronto to escape a harsher winter. And it only adds to the people-watching potential that I love about this part of the world. I've been… -
Jennifer Boyd-Einstein and Paula Mangin: Dear Spring
26 Jan 2012 | 5:00 pmI know you're not surprised. Who would be? But it's over between Winter and me. We started out strong, all cuddles and hot chocolate, all romance and fires, bundled together in cashmere and wool, fur and more cashmere. It felt so good, the two of us together. We felt safe and protected and cozy and soft. Maybe I was even a little cocky in thinking, We're not so bad together, Winter and me, we're going to make it through this time. Ha, what a laugh. Now Winter is just endless cold shoulders and icy stares. It feels as if a bleak landscape of greys, blacks, camel and navy loom ahead for us... -

Uggs Banned By Pennsylvania Middle School
27 Jan 2012 | 4:22 pmAdministrators at a middle school in Pennsylvania were tired of kids hiding cell phones in their boots -- so they banned the boots. The new rule applies to "outdoor, open top boots" in general, but the biggest culprits are Uggs, says a district official, particularly those that reach to students' mid-calves and are lined with fleece. -
Pregnancy Style: Tips From Our Fave Stars
27 Jan 2012 | 2:40 pmDespite the morning sickness, weight gain and pickle cravings, being pregnant doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your own personal style for nine months. We understand that your favourite pair of heels may only take you a few metres out the front door, and that little black dress may no longer zip-up in the back, but that doesn't mean your wardrobe should be reduced to sweatpants and your spouse's T-shirt.

PHOTOS: Katharine McPhee Covers Up
27 Jan 2012 | 1:05 pmYou might have heard of the new show "Smash," the TV show about the making of a fictional Broadway show which might eventually actually come to Broadway for real. It's all a bit confusing, but seems to have gotten off the ground regardless. The NBC series had a flashy New York premiere on Thursday night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, filling a red carpet with stars. The woman of the night was "American Idol" alum Katharine McPhee, who stars in the TV show. Although she looks excellent in previews, she nearly flubbed her carpet appearance last night with an ill-fitting outfit. McPhee wore…

As founder of a national organization, I understand that only 10 percent will lead the 90 percent of my generation.

PG&E Ordered To Pay Millions For Poor Inspection Of Pipes
27 Jan 2012 | 9:46 pmSAN FRANCISCO -- State regulators plan to fine Pacific Gas & Electric Co. $16.8 million for failing to perform gas leak surveys in the wake of a deadly pipeline explosion in a San Francisco suburb in 2010. The California Public Utilities Commission announced the fine Friday, as part of a new citation program that gives its staff oversight muscle to fine natural gas companies for safety problems spotted on their lines. The Sept. 9, 2010 blast on the transmission line in San Bruno ignited a fireball that killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes. Last year, PG&E self-reported to the commission… -

Recording Of Deep-Sea Fish Reveals Grunts And Quacks

More than 50 years ago, researchers hypothesized that sound production in deep-sea fish is common, based on the fact that many of the species have the anatomy needed to produce sound. Most fish make incidental noises as a byproduct of chewing and swimming, but for deep-sea fish, which live in perpetual darkness, communicative noises might be important for survival and reproduction.

But he did emphasize education, and specifically the need for education to prepare Americans for high-tech jobs.

Potentially frightening as these are in the wrong hands, the prospect of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as a possible Secretary of Energy in a Republican administration scares me the most. The Department of Energy is responsible, among other things, for the country's nuclear weapons program, the Navy's nuclear…

City Gun Owner ID Card Registrations Surge
27 Jan 2012 | 5:06 pmState officials announced this week that Chicago has seen a 16 percent increase in the number of people registering for state firearm owner's identification cards when compared to two years ago. In the city, 122,000 people now hold registered FOID cards, compared to 105,000 at the start of 2010, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Illinois residents who want to purchase a gun are required to hold an active FOID card, which is issued by Illinois State Police. The surge is largely thanks to the City Council moving, in the summer of 2010, to strike down a 28-year-old city ban on handguns, according… -

Jane Addams Hull House Closes Doors After More Than 120 Years
27 Jan 2012 | 12:55 pmCHICAGO — Hull House, the Chicago social services organization founded more than 120 years ago by the Nobel Peace Prize winner Jane Addams, closed Friday after running out of money. The agency said the poor economy resulted in more demand for its services but also made it harder to raise money to cover its costs. Hull House has been providing child care, job training, housing assistance and other services for 60,000 people a year in the Chicago area. The agency had announced plans to close in the spring, but Friday's shutdown was unexpected, striking some 300 employees with a… -

Gang Members Using Social Media More Than Ever Before
27 Jan 2012 | 12:27 pmThe Chicago Crime Commission released an updated book about Chicago gangs this week, which reveals that the Windy City has more gang members than any other U.S. city. The book gives an in-depth account of how gangs in Chicago have changed over the last five years. One disturbing thing researchers found was that gangs have been recruiting children at a very young age to join their ranks. "Some of these leaders are 15 to 17 years old, so it's not that unusual for somebody at that age to be able to influence somebody in second or third grade," former Chicago Police superintendent Jody Weis told…

Olga Bonfiglio: 'A 1,000-Mile Walk On The Beach'
27 Jan 2012 | 7:00 amInteresting shapes or places on a map frequently move us to go and see what's there. It might be an island, a peninsula, an isthmus, a continent. For Loreen Niewenhuis, it was Lake Michigan. At age 45 after being married and the mother of two teenage sons, Niewenhuis wanted to do something for herself by herself, that was bigger than herself. It seemed fitting, since she had a lifelong love affair with Lake Michigan, that she make the 1,000-mile journey all around it -- by hiking it. Her husband, sons, brother, other family and friends didn't always understand her yearning but they knew the… -
Alden Loury: As Relationship Simmers Between Chicago Fire Commissioner and IG, Management Questions Persist
26 Jan 2012 | 5:29 pmIn the opening scenes of the 1991 Ron Howard film Backdraft, two young brothers are horsing around in the Chicago firehouse where their father works when an emergency call comes in. As firefighters ready their engine to answer the call, the younger brother beams when his dad asks if he wants to ride along. They reach the scene with sirens blazing, and the son watches his father pull a child from the top floor of the burning building. But then a tragic turn: A gas leak leads to an explosion, and the boy's father dies in the blaze. From there, the film flashes forward decades when both brothers… -

If you care about social justice, child welfare, prison reform, public health, fighting corruption and standing for transparent government, immigrant's rights -- if you think that grassroots economic development is smart and sustainable -- if you think that average people can and should call the shots on how they are governed -- then Jane was there first.

One crisp fall afternoon my boyfriend Aaron and I peered into our CSA box and discovered that Shelly and Irv had decided to give us the tiniest of pumpkins. We had no inkling it would be the beginning of everything. We simply knew that we had been gifted an adorable pumpkin that came with a recipe for pie; and we both loved…

Panetta told CBS's "60 Minutes," in a profile to be broadcast on Sunday, that Shakil Afridi helped provide intelligence for the raid on bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

It was a stunning role reversal for a youthful company that prides itself in promoting unfettered expression, 140 characters at a time.

I had long said that people I meet seem frustrated by the single-note media image of Africa - the cycle of doom and disaster, the endless stories of corruption, wars and famine - and that it was time to offer a subtler, more varied and complex picture. I was determined that Lost Kingdoms of Africa would… -

Both are refugees; Mugesera arrived in Canada in 1992, while Qatada immigrated to the United Kingdom a year later. Both are accused of major crimes: Mugesera is alleged to have incited genocide; Qatada has been convicted in absentia of conspiracy to commit terrorism.

Michael Yaremchuk, M.D.: The PIP Affair and Trust in Health Care
27 Jan 2012 | 4:59 pmThere has been a great deal written recently about the now-banned silicone breast implants made by Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP), a French company which has since closed down. In 2008, French plastic surgeons reported an unusually high rate of rupture -- over five times the expected rate -- for breast implants manufactured by PIP. The high rupture rate prompted French authorities to inspect the PIP manufacturing facility. It was found that PIP substituted industrial grade silicone for medical grade silicone, which led to the closing of PIP's manufacturing facility in the spring of 2010. Who is… -

Julian Sancton: Horror Movie Trailers Should Be Banned

Lorraine Devon Wilke: Election 2012, the Series: Bridezillas, Revenge or The Housewives of D.C.?
27 Jan 2012 | 4:23 pmThis election process of ours has become reminiscent of an overcooked, deeply redundant television series written by a cabal of hacks with no concern for freshness of tone or inventiveness of detail, relying instead on weary bromides, eye-rolling hyperbole, sophomoric name-calling and the deadening boredom of clichéd characters made interesting only by the manipulated controversies stirred up for the sake of media drama. Welcome to Election 2012, the Series. Unlike a 13-episode arc that can be mercifully cancelled when the audience clicks away to another, less haranguing, form of… -
Julian Sancton: Horror Movie Trailers Should Be Banned

Ali MacLean: Stupid Cupid - A Workplace Dating Survey
27 Jan 2012 | 2:41 pmLadies! The biggest day of the year is coming up. Don't let another year of a flower-free desk or chocolate-less, barren, empty life make you miserable. If you don't get a ring, a date, a kiss or even a hello come this 14th, you could be one step away from suicide. Or worse, a Marie Callender's cheesecake! It's imperative that you line up something special NOW so you don't look lonely to your friends, family and co-workers. You don't want people feeling sorry for you. Especially your therapist. Especially after he turned you down. Look on the bright side: there's men at work. No, not the band… -

WATCH: Get Ready For The Puppy Bowl!
27 Jan 2012 | 4:15 pmWhat do puppies, piggies and birds that use Twitter have in common? They're all going to be a part of the Puppy Bowl, a Super Bowl alternative which celebrates cuteness over gridiron prowess. With Super Bowl XLVI barely a week away, some fans are already asking, "Are you ready for some football?" If you aren't, then get ready for some puppies. Puppy Bowl VIII, which will air on Super Bowl Sunday on Animal Planet, is the cutest bowl you've seen since, well, Puppy Bowl VII. During the Puppy Bowl, you'll get to see adorable canines on a miniature football field showing off their cuteness. But… -
WATCH: Divorce Ejects Trekkie From Beloved Spaceship Apartment
27 Jan 2012 | 2:53 pmOne man boldly went where no interior designer had gone before -- but now, divorce is taking it all away from him. For the past 10 years, British DJ Tony Alleyne, 58, has been working to transform the interior of his Hinckley, England apartment into an exact replica of the Starship Enterprise from "Star Trek." But the nerd-enviable apartment -- where he's lived alone since he separated from his wife in 1994 -- belongs to his ex, and now a court has ruled that she has the right to sell it, British tabloid The Sun reported. "To say I'm gutted is an understatement," Alleyne recently told the… -

Dakota Fanning's Racy Cosmopolitan Cover: This Controversy Is Ridiculous
6 Jan 2012 | 5:19 pmMedia critics should stop insulting women's intelligence by saying Dakota's too young to be on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine! Puhleeze! Can the prudes who are in a tizzy over almost 18-year-old Dakota Fanning appearing on the February cover of American Cosmopolitan please get their knickers out of a knot? Cosmopolitan is, by far, the largest women's magazine in the entire world. I can assure you that millions of 17-year-old women read it without incident. I know this as both the former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan and as a mother of a 21-year-old daughter. Dakota, with her… -

Republican Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner Insults Michelle Obama's 'Big Butt'!
23 Dec 2011 | 8:46 amWe know we're in a nasty political climate but partisanship has gone way, way too far when a Republican Congressman attacks the First Lady for having a 'large posterior.' Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner you are a rude dude. You recently were heard complaining loudly at the Delta Crown lounge at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., that Michelle Obama should practice what she preaches with her "Let's Move" campaign, promoting healthy eating and exercise habits. "She lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself," he complained on the phone. In other words,… -
Kendall Jenner's Sweet 16 Freakout Proves She Has Better Family Values Than Mom Kris Jenner

Kendall Jenner -- I am high fiving you for doing something that  your older sisters have rarely done -- stand up to your mom and say, "NO!"

Naturally, there was some sponsorship involved. I could see, as could anyone… -
Nicole Scherzinger, You Should Be Fired If You Won't Make The Tough Decisions

Nicole Scherzinger, I hope you just learned a gigantic lesson Dec. 8 on The X Factor. You blew it! You refused to step up to a tough decision -- one you are required and paid to make. You refused to eliminate Marcus Canty, the contestant you truly believed was weakest, and instead you cried and allowed the show to go to deadlock. That meant the decision to eliminate either Rachel Crow or Marcus, was left up to how…

Did Mitt Romney Pay Any Taxes at All In 2008?
22 Jan 2012 | 4:20 pmMitt Romney has been known to change his mind, but on the subject of his tax returns he's been isentropically consistent. Here's his position: What's the least, the absolute least, I can show you so you'll shut up? In December he said he might not release anything. Two weeks ago he said he might release something in April. Now he says he'll release his 2010 tax returns on Tuesday. We'll see. RICHARD NIXON: You think, you think we want to, want to go this route now? And the -- let it hang out, so to speak? BOB HALDEMAN: It's a limited hang out. JOHN DEAN: It's a limited hang out. JOHN… -
Newt Gingrich Runs Rings Around Michele Bachmann and She's Still Right
16 Dec 2011 | 10:04 amThe trouble with the truth is it's always the same old thing. ~ Patty Loveless Republican primary voters hate Freddie Mac. They believe it gave their money -- and forced the banks to give their money -- to lazy people so they could live indoors. This is a questionable suspicion. Lazy people keep terrible records. But we do know, with a certainty like we know God's love, one person Freddie Mac did give the taxpayer's money. They gave Newt Gingrich $1.6 million of it to say nice things about Freddie Mac. That's the truth. And the trouble with the truth is it's always the same old thing. Newt… -
Mitt Romney's Honor Is Worth $10,000 and Not a Penny More
11 Dec 2011 | 3:09 pm"I'll tell you what. Ten-thousand bucks? Ten-thousand-dollar bet?" -- Mitt Romney A lot of people are raising a stink about Mitt Romney making $10,000 schoolyard bets while running for president in a nation where the child poverty rate is 19.8%. They're scoring cheap points by pretending that Mitt Romney doesn't understand the value of a dollar -- like he throws wads of it around just to bully people about nothing. And they're inciting all kinds of unpleasant class warfare by pointing out that $10,000 is a pathetically small amount of money to Mitt Romney. But they're missing the point. It's… -
Buck McKeon's Mormon Holy War in Afghanistan
5 Jan 2011 | 12:18 pmCalifornia congressman Howard "Buck" McKeon is the next chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. He doesn't have any military experience -- he spent the Vietnam era on a Mormon missionary retreat and a twenty-nine year quest (1956-1985) for a BA from Brigham Young -- but he did bankrupt his family's western wear company, so he knows how to order shirts no one wants. You can see why he's the perfect man to oversee America's trillion-dollar defense budget. Granted, he's a coward, a hypocrite and an incompetent. What's important is that Howard "Buck" McKeon has a vision. He knows why… -
TV Is Smutty, but the Parents Television Council Is a Disgrace
16 Dec 2010 | 9:17 amL. Brent Bozell is a cheap has-been who died years ago, but that doesn't mean his work-from-home pressure group, The Parents Television Council, can't still come up with the occasional hot title for a press release. Take, for example, this week's shocking study -- more than 35 hours in the making -- Sexualized Teen Girls: Tinseltown's New Target (deep breath) A Study of Teen Female Sexualization in Primetime TV Just looking at him, you'd guess that L. Brent Bozell's savvy with technology was limited to opening cans, but you've got to hand it to him -- the man can manipulate a search engine.

Progressives, Obamabots and a Realistic Evaluation of the President
19 Jan 2012 | 7:44 amI am no one's disciple. However, any attempt at an objective view of both the progressive and broader accomplishments of the Obama administration has been histrionically, unfairly and chronically mislabeled as the blind allegiance of an "Obamabot" or "Obama apologist." Therefore, because I've been attempting to observe the successes and failures of President Obama and peg them according to both historical precedent and modern political reality, I've been accordingly mislabeled. That said, the goal of this essay isn't to antagonize or kneejerk in reaction to the most caustic anti-Obama… -

The Fantastical Crackpot Cult of Ron Paul
11 Jan 2012 | 8:18 pmDuring Tuesday night's New Hampshire Primary election coverage, Lawrence O'Donnell hilariously and saliently described Ron Paul as "not a candidate," therefore Jon Huntsman was the realistic second place winner, though not technically since he placed third on paper. Likewise, Mother Jones' Kevin Drum recently wrote that Ron Paul is a "crackpot." Naturally, they're both correct. Times a thousand. But a million Elvis fans can't be wrong. Or can they? In other words, Ron Paul supporters are easily some of the most exuberant, die-hard, overzealous political activists around, and you'll probably…

On the Inherent Darkness and Pessimism of Steven Spielberg...
27 Jan 2012 | 4:01 pmIn the aftermath of the Oscar nominations (analysis HERE), there has been much hand-wringing over the notion that the Academy has embraced 'feel-good' entertainment over darker and more introspective work. The prime example of this false argument (which insists that you ignore the relatively downbeat finales of The Help and Moneyball, among others) is the Best Picture nomination for Steven Spielberg's War Horse (review). Many of the reviews, especially the negative ones, for Steven Spielberg's War Horse have emphasized the… -
The Lesson for This Year's Oscar Nominees? Don't Be an R-rated Film!
24 Jan 2012 | 3:24 pmFor a list of the complete nominations, go HERE. As always, click on the movies with links for the original theatrical review. I write a lot about the inexplicable trend of how the various year-end awards groups only consider 'appropriate' movies to be considered awards-material. There is and always has been a certain disdain for populist entertainment, a trend that's only gotten worse as the independent film movement exploded in the early 1990s and the year-end Oscar bait-calender got more jam-packed over the last five weeks of the year. Harry Potter… -
Weekend Box Office: Underworld 4 Tops, Red Tails Scores Well
23 Jan 2012 | 11:12 am Like clockwork, the fourth entry in the ongoing Underworld franchise debuted in the third weekend of January to take the top spot at the box office with a $20 million+ debut. While the original opened in September of 2003, the rest of the films have all used the mid-January berth every three years. And so it is that Underworld: Awakenings (trailer) debuted with $25.4 million this weekend. In pure numbers, that's the second biggest debut of the series, behind the $30 million opening of Underworld: Evolution back in 2006. But in terms… -
Blaming the Victim: The 'Problem' With Beauty and the Beast Isn't Belle, but the Beast
18 Jan 2012 | 1:39 pmNote -For what it's worth, the 3D conversion left me unimpressed. If you want to see it, do so because you want to see the picture on the big screen again, not because the 3D conversion adds any real value. If you want to read a similar retrospective discussion of The Lion King, go HERE. I've long joked that I was able to ruin Disney's Beauty and the Beast merely by uttering two words: "Stockholm Syndrome." Having sampled the film in 3D over the weekend, it remains one of the just-plain weirder Disney cartoons in recent times. It is still a… -
2011 Year-End Wrap-Up: The 'Best' Films of the Year
10 Jan 2012 | 7:27 amHere is the sixth essay detailing the year in film. This time, it's the best of the best. Of course 'best' is a subjective term, so you might want to consider these my 'favorites'. Despite what everyone likes to whine about at the end of every year, 2011 was, in fact, one of the better years in a good long time. Maybe it was the effects of the 2007 WGA strike wearing off, maybe it was just dumb luck, but on the whole, movies, especially mainstream movies, were pretty on-spot more often than they weren't. But just as important, most of the…

Mitt Romney's Very Bad Week
24 Jan 2012 | 1:59 pmMitt Romney has been the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for so long that it is easy to forget what an unlikely frontrunner he is, and not just because of his moderate, for a Republican, views on social issues. Romney is also a one-term Governor of a state that will almost certainly go for Obama in November, and which has not supported a Republican for president since 1984. Additionally, although he has ample experience working in finance, Romney's only government experience is his time as governor of Massachusetts. His complete lack of foreign policy or military experience has,… -
Does Mitt Romney Need a Sistah Souljah Moment?
19 Jan 2012 | 7:37 amOne of the central lessons, as well as baffling questions, regarding the 2012 Republican primary season has been the weakness of the far right. 2012 was supposed to be the year that, building on the Tea Party movement and the 2010 elections, the far right was going to nominate one of its own for president and possibly win the general election. Instead, the Republican Party is well on its way to nominating a conventional, even relatively moderate, Republican who is committed to making the wealthy wealthier, but is not given to radical views on social issues or gratuitous anger towards poor or… -
Who Cares Who Finished Second in New Hampshire?
10 Jan 2012 | 7:16 pmDespite efforts by candidates and the media to create a story that Mitt Romney -- despite having won Iowa and New Hampshire, and having more money, endorsements and organization than any other candidate in the race -- has still not wrapped up the nomination, Romney has, in fact, all but clinched the Republican nomination for president. Some may attribute Romney's victory to the work the Super-PAC which supported his campaign did in Iowa to cut the legs out from under Newt Gingrich just as Gingrich was beginning to get some momentum, or to Romney's fundraising prowess making it possible to buy… -
How Obama Can Win in 2012
1 Jan 2012 | 8:48 pmThe Obama White House probably watched the Republican primary season with some dismay as a series of candidates including Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul, each more bizarre and unelectable than the others, briefly donned the mantle of front-runner before giving way to Mitt Romney. Romney, the likely Republican nominee, feels like a generic representative of his party from a generation ago. He was born to privilege, made a lot of money, is committed to making his rich friends richer, uncomfortable with the more radical social conservatives who constitute… -
The Republicans in 2012
29 Dec 2011 | 11:01 am2012, like most years, promises to be an interesting political year. Some of the stories which were so significant in 2011 will continue, while others will fade away. The tragicomic reality show which was the Republican nominating process will quickly give way to a presidential election with two candidates who, unlike Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry -- who horrified us, made us laugh and otherwise entertained us in 2011 -- have a real chance of being president in 2013. The campaign between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama will likely be very close with a great deal of…

Stephen Colbert Befuddles Some Political Commentators
23 Jan 2012 | 10:02 amStephen Colbert's super PAC exposes the corporate news media's incapability to express what would be in normal life circumstances a totally justified sense of righteous outrage. Why do people become upset with the notion of anonymous corporate donors filling the coffers of Super PACS and corporations being considered "people?" It must offend a sense of propriety somewhere. The TV political reporter, Chuck Todd, doesn't get what Stephen Colbert is doing because he's blinded by his position as a corporate media conduit (even on "liberal" MSNBC). Colbert and Jon Stewart, of that prestigious… -
Five Right-Wing Political Obstacles That Must Be Sidelined
1 Jan 2012 | 9:40 pmGoing into the 2012 elections people on the progressive end of the political spectrum need to ask the simple question: How will the first post-Citizens United presidential election affect the outcomes for those desperately seeking social change? The most likely result, unfortunately, is that after the mountains of anonymous campaign money come crashing down in a deafening avalanche of sophisticated negative ads aimed at Democratic politicians, Republicans are probably going to come out on top. Our current collection of post-"Hope and Change," tepid, apologetic Democrats at the national level… -
The End of the Iraq War and the Beginning of an Election Year
19 Dec 2011 | 8:20 amDespite the redeployment of U.S. troops out of Iraq, during this dismal period of "austerity" the public isn't likely to see any discernible difference in the government's misplaced priorities. Our representatives in Washington recently passed a "bipartisan" military budget of $662 billion. That level of "defense" spending, about $7 trillion over 10 years, Congress has appropriated at a time when we're being told that the government is so "broke" we must shred Medicare and Social Security. Will we ever see what George H. W. Bush called a "peace dividend?" But it all seems like a distant… -
Billionaire Leon Cooperman Writes "Open Letter to President Obama"
7 Dec 2011 | 8:31 amThe Wall Street "veteran" Leon Cooperman has written an "Open Letter to President Obama" that provides us with a glimpse into the mindset of our 21st century corporate overlords. He's upset not with President Obama's Treasury Department or his Securities and Exchange Commission, or even his Department of Justice or the IRS. No, what's put a bee in Mr. Cooperman's bonnet is the president's "tone" toward billionaires like himself. Apparently for the captains of industry and high finance it's not enough for Obama to be a faithful servant of their narrow class interests, they also want him to… -
Ross Douthat's Hit Job on JFK
28 Nov 2011 | 9:00 pmAppearing in the New York Times' "Sunday Review" on the first Sunday following the 48th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is the conservative commentator Ross Douthat's take on the former president. Right-wing pundits rarely make good amateur historians and Douthat's short hit piece, dripping with contempt, is fresh evidence for this conclusion. He sets out to debunk what he calls "premises" and "myths" associated with President Kennedy, but his effort is an embarrassing failure on all counts. Interpreting history is all about nuance and nuance is clearly not the…

Semi-Tough: The President's State of the Union Address
25 Jan 2012 | 12:21 pmLast night in his State of the Union, President Obama presented himself as the champion of the American dream, or in his words, "the American promise" -- "that if you worked hard, you could do well enough to raise a family, own a home, send your kids to college, and put a little away for retirement." And the instrument of recovering that dream was clearly the need for smart, activist government. Obama described what he considered necessary to revive the promise -- and evoked America's wistful desire for national unity by opening and closing with evocations of the nation's pride in its… -
The American Dream: The Forgotten Leading Actor
13 Dec 2011 | 11:46 amWhen Newt Gingrich maligned our "truly stupid" child labor laws, and suggested that kids 14 and under be put to work cleaning their schools, he sparked the outrage the former Speaker relishes. Less attention was paid to the other casualty of his proposition: "get rid of the unionized janitors." This is the slur turned to high art -- a little race bait posturing at "poor kids" who, Gingrich tells us, don't work like middle class kids do -- and a shot at "unionized janitors" -- almost by definition overpaid and lazy, whose work could be done by a grade-schooler. Newt's blistering of child labor… -
Gingrich's Sly Strategy: Run Clinton Against Bush
6 Dec 2011 | 9:21 amDemocrats are salivating -- or as Rachel Maddow put it -- cheering, screaming, crying -- at the prospect of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich becoming the Republican presidential nominee. And why not? Gingrich, conservative George Will writes, "embodies the vanity and rapacity that make modern Washington repulsive." The surly charlatan is pompous, bumptious, and disingenuous in successive sentences. He is without shame, bestirring Times columnist Maureen Dowd to tick off examples: "a serial adulterer while impeaching another serial adulterer, a lobbyist for Freddie Mac while attacking… -
Run for America
9 Nov 2011 | 6:32 amYesterday, Ohio voters overwhelmingly rejected the effort to revoke basic worker rights, delivering a stunning rebuke to conservative Governor John Kasich. That spark was lit in Madison, Wisconsin last winter when workers took over the state capitol and launched unprecedented recall elections that sobered right-wing Governor Scott Walker and the Republican state legislature. The Occupy Wall Street movement turned the spark into a conflagration, transforming the political horizon. Now, a range of progressive groups, led by Progressive Majority, are calling on citizen activists to Run for… -
Sending Kids the Bill for the Mess Left By Wall Street
13 Oct 2011 | 10:22 amWall Street's excesses blew up the economy. Now the question is who pays to clean up the mess. Across the country, our children are already paying part of the bill -- as their schools are hit with deep budget cuts. A new report -- Starving America's Public Schools: How Budget Cuts and Policy Mandates are Hurting our Nation's Students -- released today by the Campaign for America's Future and the National Education Association, looks at five states to detail what this means to kids in our public elementary and secondary schools. (Full disclosure: I co-direct the Campaign.) The findings are…

Mitt Romney's Nomination Looks Inevitable
17 Jan 2012 | 3:34 pmFor all of last night's fireworks, the window of opportunity for any of Mitt Romney's rivals to knock him out of the top spot is basically closing fast. Let's consider a few data points. Think someone will mount a stand against Romney in South Carolina? Think again. The latest Monmouth University poll puts it bluntly: "Romney poised to go 3 for 3." The top-line results tell part of the story: There, Romney has an 11-point lead over Newt Gingrich, his closest rival. But let's dig deeper: Gingrich (30%) does best among those who call themselves very conservative, leading both Romney (25%) and… -
House GOP Caucus Could Do Better Than 'Braveheart' As Their Source Of Cinematic Pep
21 Dec 2011 | 11:16 amWhen we look back on American history with our typical panglossian perspective, we tend to imagine that at every great moment, our nation was propelled into the future by the right person who had the right speech to stir our souls at the right time. Whether or not that used to be true, it doesn't seem to be the case anymore. At least if the House GOP caucus is any guide, anyway. For the second time in their first year as an assembly, they've relied on inspirational speeches from movies to inspire each other to go out and obstruct like the dickens! Hooray for Hollywood cliches, I guess. Back… -
The 2012 Speculatron Weekly Roundup For Dec. 16, 2011
16 Dec 2011 | 5:10 pmLet's see, what can we say about this week in the 2012 race? Frankly, we're tempted to just say, "What we said last week, except more intense, and maybe a twist ending in Iowa? Or not!" This was the week where the seesaw that sawed Newt Gingrich into the top spot in polls in Iowa suddenly was seen to be see-ing back in the opposite direction. To the benefit of Mitt Romney? Maybe. Romney could not have possibly started this week worse. First, he gets into a manhood measuring test with Rick Perry over the part of his book he changed and its context and significance, by daring Perry to make a… -
Karl Rove-Funded Ad Says Elizabeth Warren Is In Bed With Wall Street
8 Dec 2011 | 2:40 pmSeems like only a month ago that Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS was running ads against Democratic Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, darkly warning of her ties to the Occupy Wall Street movement. The ads pointed out that she had taken credit for providing the "intellectual foundation" for the movement and is generally supportive of the demonstrators, who Crossroads characterized as "extreme left protesters." Something must have gone wrong with that message, however, because today, Crossroads returns with a new Warren attack ad that paints her as a champion of the bailed-out Wall… -
Romney Dumps Trump Debate -- But Still Runs Risk Of Receiving Trump's Endorsement
7 Dec 2011 | 3:04 pmTuesday, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney became the third invited candidate (after Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman) to turn down the offer to appear in a GOP debate moderated by Donald Trump. That was a good decision. Unfortunately for Mitt, he does not appear to have sufficiently angered The Donald with the way he went about declining the invitation, and this means he is still eligible for Trump's endorsement. That's too bad! As Christian Heinze reports over at The Hill, Trump was on MSNBC this morning discussing Romney's decision, and by all appearances, the amount of ill will sowed by Romney…

Trickle-Down Ugly
27 Jan 2012 | 10:18 amSo, I'm on Twitter. @TheStevenWeber. (The "The" was only because there are a number of "other" Steven Webers. Anyway:) It's fun and it's fast. I liken it to hurling dumbass jokes from the window of a moving car, which I used to like to do in the days before the Internet. I can "tweet" while I'm waiting for a stop light to change, when I'm on hold, or waiting for another drink to arrive (or sometimes all three of those things at once). I "tweet" funny things, I "tweet" provocative things. But mostly I "tweet" vulgar and inappropriate things. And I enjoy that, as do (I assume) most of the… -
The Most Important Election in Our Lifetime
20 Jan 2012 | 1:04 pmWere an individual to demonstrate the kind of delusional, violently divisive thought and paranoid rhetoric that all of the GOP candidates -- as well as the party overall -- they'd be put under observation and found to be a danger to society. One could say that the GOP presidential candidates are speaking as individuals, for and by themselves. But actually they embody the principles embraced by the corporate right-wing juggernaut and speak for the delusional, violently divisive and paranoid collective, never making any effort to dispel the notion that they are anything other than welcoming to… -
The GOP: Unmasked and Undone
17 Jan 2012 | 4:22 pmThe Republicans have tipped their hand -- spilled it all over the floor, actually -- and demonstrated beyond doubt that they are solely dedicated to crippling any idea that Americans should have hope, that Americans should be nothing less than afraid and that history and facts are merely vague, noisy complexities, not of any real use to anyone and ultimately up for grabs. And it is now clear that anything that comes from the Right Wing purporting to be factual analyses of social and political issues is invariably propaganda, much of it a cunning mixture of outright lies with some factual… -
GOP-za-Poppin'!
11 Jan 2012 | 6:40 amTo those who still haven't made the politics/news/entertainment connection yet, even though the unholy nexus is on display every time a TV screen (or AM radio) is switched on, the daily events that are classified carelessly as "news" would seem thoroughly authentic. Balderdash, I say! I mean, was the "Santorum surge" really a surprise? It's just the latest act in the vaudeville that is the political process, after the Bachmann Spurt, the Newt Scoot, the Cain Refrain (any spinmeisters who would like to hire me may contact me here). By parading a succession of unelectable loonies onto center… -
Remember to Forget! (But Don't Forget to Remember)
19 Dec 2011 | 12:33 pmForget the conventional media analyses of the current Right Wing/Corporate political machine's behavior, analyses which presume the presence of a conventional system of moral and ethical beliefs. Forget it. Because the current Right Wing/Corporate political machine's behavior defies presumptions of a conventional system of beliefs by which democratically inclined institutions and those entrusted with the administration of such are presumed to behave. Why, for instance, would the Right Wing/Corporate political machine actually consider preemptive military action in Iran after the…

The Obama administration sharpens its rhetoric in accompaniment to imposing coercive sanctions. It strong arms its allies to stand with it in confrontation. Israel uses all of its formidable levers of influence to push the United States into war mode. All shades of the media work overtime to stoke fears in a manner reminiscent of the build-up to the Iraq invasion. Amidst all this noise and fury the one thing missing is a sober… -
