The Many Hoods of Robin of Locksley
There has been a recent interest in the story of Robin and his merry men lately, and it is a telling piece of our modern culture to look at the ways that the story is approached through film as it developed and from the different sides of the Atlantic.

Obama’s New World Order
By Karen Tumulty and Mark Thompson It was hard to miss the message that Barack Obama was sending with the powerful tableau lined up behind him onstage in Chicago. “I assembled this team because I’m a strong believer in strong personalities and strong opinions,” the President-elect said of his national-security picks. The top three members […]

Oh Deer! Concerns Raised About Venison
By Carla Baranauckas They’ll be harder to spot in a North Dakota blizzard than they were in a Maine meadow. (Pat Wellenbach/ Associated Press). Schools are closed in some districts in North Dakota today, but it’s not because a blizzard hit the state on Thursday, shutting down some of the main highways. In places like […]

Mr. Ayers’s Neighborhood
Early this morning, the Obama family voted at the Beulah Shoesmith Elementary School, in Hyde Park. Long after they had gone, the lawn in front of the school was filled with reporters, mostly Europeans, filming voters. While I was talking to an eight-year-old kid dressed as George Washington, my colleague Peter Slevin, of the Washington […]

The Early Word: The Cost of Going Negative
Just hours away from the third and final presidential debate and less than three weeks from Election Day, a New York Times/CBS News polls finds that the increasingly negative tone of the campaign waged by Senator John McCain appears to be resonating with voters — but not in the way the Republican nominee hoped. The […]

Giants win Super Bowl – Belichick is outcoached
Son, The Giants won the Super Bowl. Final score – Giants 17, Patriots 14. I tried to engage the Patriots fans at the Boston Globe. Every post I wrote was taken down after an hour. They did not like hearing the honesty of someone from outside their mental geography. I earned this – I told […]

NY Giants – the surge is working
Son, I was flipping through the channels on television a few minutes ago. I paused for a second on ESPN and heard “New York Giants.” I hit the channel button and immediately heard John McCain saying, “The surge is working…” So what I heard was “New York Giants – the surge is working.” Well, that […]

Hannah Montana predicts Super Bowl – NO to Patriots
Son, I was surfing today. Hannah Montana has my attention today because of my grandchildren. I listened to this music video and could not help thinking of the New England Patriots at the Super Bowl today. Perhaps that is because she directly refers to them. I think all of the Patriot fans recognize the reality […]

New England Patriots – Big Bad John
Son, Jimmy Dean was singing metaphorically about the New England Patriots. “There was only one left to save.” Big Bad John. [wp_youtube]mR9dDdUmdtU[/wp_youtube] This is the story of the Super Bowl for this year – will they come out of the mine, or not. Dad

Chris Matthews, Racist, Chauvinist
Son, The star of Chris Matthews has risen. Now we can see who he really is. And it is not pretty. Clinton scored a huge comeback in New Hampshire. Matthews explanation – “…the New Hampshire voters lied to the pollsters. They lied about voting for a black man because they were embarrassed… Hillary did not […]

Hey Hillary – You go Girl!
Son, It is a great night for Democrats. The pollsters and pundits, including me, guessed wrong on New Hampshire. Hillary Clinton has pulled off a win that leaves the Democratic Party in a healthy position to continue this race. John Edwards is saying that he will continue through the convention. Barack Obama has great strength. […]

John McCain wins New Hampshire
Son, I am relieved. John McCain is the best chance the GOP has of getting my vote. No – I don’t support the war in Iraq – but I like to think of myself as a multi issue voter. He has won New Hampshire in spite of Mitt Romney spending a small fortune. Ronmey’s loss […]

New England Patriots – love or hate
Son, The New England Patriots have completed the regular season with a perfect 16 – 0 record. Congratulations. But like many things in life – people have an emotional response. Football is a sport that requires talent on the field and emotion in the stadium. My emotions say, please don’t win it all. The only […]

New Hampshire Gender Factor
Son, I don’t believe it. Not this time. Not in 2008. The pundits are trying to analyze the prospects of the candidates in terms of old ideas. Statistically, which means historically, demographics help predict outcomes. Not this time. Tim Russert was on NBC News tonight – preaching the same old stuff. “…New Hampshire has […]

NH Political Predictions of Ohg Rea Tone
Son, Some processes are all about momentum. Momentum is not arbitrary – there are roots of rationale. There is cause and purpose. The forces at play in breaking the sled loose continue to propel – mass in motion is difficult to stop. The block of votes gained in Iowa have gravitational pull that directly correlates […]
