Republican Recreation - (USA)
By KleinheiderPosted on May 3, 2009 at 11:03 pm So the GOP remains but it remains still a hollow shell in many parts of the country, and that’s the kind of situation perfect for non-establishment groups and non-major parties to move in and recreate the party from the ground up, especially in the U.S. major cities and metro areas outside the South. That’s how political change is made within the two-party system and its been true for so many nominees and Presidents over the past century.permalink

Maid Levy's Five Year Freeze - (USA)
Hong Kong domestic helpers should be rejoicing as the legislative council recently approved the measure to extend the suspension of the levy from two to five years.This is sort of consolation to proponents like Regina Ip, who wanted to abolish the HK$400 levy once and for all. There were also fall back options: suspend the levy until 2047 or a shorter one at 2018.I was always wondering that why imported workers such as domestic helpers have to shoulder the cost of training local employees throug

Health Reform and Obama's Tax Pledge Excerpt from Karl Rove Public support for his plans shrank when Americans saw the trillion-dollar-plus price tag, recoiled from the intrusive expansion of government into patient-doctor decisions, and came to understand the plan was financed in part by huge cuts in Medicare and large tax increases. So, after running into heavy opposition among Congressional Democrats and growing public hostility to his plan, Mr. Obama has now recast the debate as an at

New York Honors Che Guevara with Statue - (USA)
By Humberto Fontova American Thinker On Friday November 21st, while strolling through Central Park’s Doris C. Freedman Plaza, Commentary Magazine’s online editor Abe Greenwald noticed a statue and did a double take. “Is that…Che Guevara?” Indeed! There was no mistaking it: a statue of “El Che” by German artist, Christian Jankowski. Upon investigating the matter, Abe Greenwald learned that, “the sculpture is not intended to depict Che Guevara,” but rather a street performer from Barcelona’s L

Chaos Theory - (USA)
As long as there's a Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, I am able to plan a day like this: Rod Humble lecture, visit to Alcatraz, Jason Rohrer lecture. That was my Tuesday at GDC. Sometimes you need to take a break from games for a while and go to a prison. Alcatraz used to be a pretty grim scene. Tour highlights include the spot where the suicidal leapt into the ocean and dashed their brains on the rocks, and the hallway where inmates and guards shot and killed one another. The fl

Last Tuesday’s Story Hour with the Ingas - (USA)
I often talk about the comics classes I teach for 7th and 8th graders, but those aren’t the only classes I teach. In fact, the Cartooning program didn’t actually originate in middle school at all. Officially, it started on the beach. I originally was hired by Seattle Parks and Recreation to teach at the Alki Beach Art Studio, and I’m still on staff there. It’s called the Bath House, because it actually started as a bath house in the early days of Seattle. In 1911 or thereabouts, someo

Movie Marketing Madness: Star Trek - (USA)
Download PDF: MMM-251-Star-Trek “Reboots” are all the rage in Hollywood when it comes to reviving a franchise that’s seen as either irreparable in its current state or simply too long in the tooth to be attractive to the current audience. The Incredible Hulk, Batman Begins and others have all either ignored their big-screen predecessors and tried to start the character from scratch or taken a drastically different tone than what came before. (Batman Begins is an example of the former, which
