BONZER WOLF™

Check out this Dude's blog. He helped build wikipedia. Now see what he has to say about those mofos
thewebserviceblog.co.uk/2008/10/31/wikipedia-sucks/

A few days ago, the Wall Street Journal reported that Wikipedia had lost "millions" of readers, volunteer writers and editors since the first quarter of 2007. As you saw in my last post, I decided to test the waters at Wikipedia. I found the editors to be hostile, biased and incompetent. I won't participate as the "wiki" is gone and the ass clowns are there to stay.

On November 27, 2009 the Wall Street Journal reported that, "Wikipedia.org is the fifth-most-popular Web site in the world, with roughly 325 million monthly visitors. But unprecedented numbers of the millions of online volunteers who write, edit and police it are quitting." The article by JULIA ANGWIN and GEOFFREY A. FOWLER said, "That could have significant implications for the brand of democratization that Wikipedia helped to unleash over the Internet -- the empowerment of the amateur. Volunteers have been departing the project that bills itself as "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" faster than new ones have been joining, and the net losses have accelerated over the past year."

"Wikipedia contributors have been debating widely what is behind the declines in volunteers. One factor is that many topics already have been written about. Another is the plethora of rules Wikipedia has adopted to bring order to its unruly universe -- particularly to reduce infighting among contributors about write-ups of controversial subjects and polarizing figures. As it matures, Wikipedia, one of the world's largest crowdsourcing initiatives, is becoming less freewheeling and more like the organizations it set out to replace. Today, its rules are spelled out across hundreds of Web pages. Increasingly, newcomers who try to edit are informed that they have unwittingly broken a rule -- and find their edits deleted, according to a study by researchers at Xerox Corp." -online.wsj.com/article/SB125893981183759969.html

"Wikipedia is becoming a more hostile environment," contends Mr. Ortega, a project manager at Libresoft, a research group at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid. "Many people are getting burnt out when they have to debate about the contents of certain articles again and again."

On November 28, 2009 the news about Tiger Woods and his alleged relationship with Rachel Uchitel dominated the main stream, tabloid and sports media outlets. Tiger Woods is arguably the most famous active sports personality in the world. But Who is Rachel Uchitel?

I had never heard of Ms.Uchitel so I searched Wikipedia. I quickly found out that Wiki had "zero" information on Rachel Uchitel. Eventually I read a dozen or more articles on numerous websites and found out quit a bit about Ms.Uchitel. I decided to submit a biographical entry about Ms. Uchitel on Wikipedia after discovering that she was trending very high all day on Google.

Today you will find that "Rachel Uchitel pictures" are second in Google's "Todays Hot Trends" at 10:06 AM CST. She is both the 6th & 7th most searched as "TIger Woods Mistress" & "Tiger Woods Affair Rachel Uchitel"

If you go to Wikipedia this morning and search Rachel Uchitel Wikipedia you will get this from wiki, "There were no results matching the query. You may create the page "Rachel Uchitel".

So where is the well researched and annotated biography that I posted yesterday? It's gone forever, not edited but deleted by one of the so called "editors". You will also find that my comments questioning the deletion have also been deleted by another "editor".

I posted a link to my submission on Twitter and some of you may have read it before the arbitrary editors at Wikipedia deleted it. The submission was a fair and accurate "biography of a living person", which conformed with Wikipedia's guidelines.

Wikipedia is trending down and will soon be totally irrelevant. Wiki is not about "crowdsourcing" any more. Wikipedia is all about arrogant, arbitrary ass clown "volunteer editors" who get their kicks by butchering and deleting volunteer submissions.

Now you know why 8 years after Wikipedia began with a goal to provide everyone in the world free access to "the sum of all human knowledge," the declines in participation have raised questions about the encyclopedia's ability to continue.

UPDATE: Another ass clown at Wiki has nominated my latest submission as not being "wiki worthy" . If the link has not been deleted you can read all the BS here : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Uchitel

If the wiki volunteer fascists have already deleted my post, here is my defense as to why Rachel Uchitel is "significant" under Wikipedia's directives for a biography of a living person:
"This is exactly why @wsj reports that Wikipedia is losing millions of users. Click on link to see the BS involved to get a simple submission up on wiki. The speedy deletion of this page is contested. Reason: Uchitel is the subject of 3 of the top 10 Hot Topic searches trending on Google for the past 48 hours. Her accomplishments in VIP operations is significant. She is closely associated with some of the most famous personalities in the world. Uchitel is the subject of thousands of main stream news articles associating her with Tiger Woods, the most recognized sports personality in the world. A7 criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source. The criterion does apply if the claim of significance or importance given is not credible. By any objective standard Rachel Uchitel is "Significant" and meets the criteria for a living person bio.

Wikipedia began with a goal to provide everyone in the world free access to "the sum of all human knowledge," the declines in participation have raised questions about the encyclopedia's ability to continue expanding its breadth

Hundereds of thousands of people have searched wiki for info on Rachel Uchitel in the past 48 hours. This number will increase into the millions as evidenced by Google trends. People from all over the world are seeking information on Uchitel at this very moment."

Here is the entry that Wikipedia ass clowns rejected. Why? Because they can!

Rachel Uchitel, born in 1975, is one of the most accomplished nightclub VIP operations manager in the United States. She is currently director of VIP operations for Pink Elephant in Southampton.[1] After college Ms.Uchitel worked in TV and film. She spent five years as a television producer at Bloomberg News. After her fiancee, Andy O'Grady, was killed in the World Trade Center attacks of 2001 she moved to Las Vegas.[2] Ms.Uchitel launched Tao nightclub and restaurant, which became the number-one grossing venue in the world.[citation needed] Two years later she moved back to New York to oversee VIP operations for Tao operated Clubs Stanton Social, Marquee, Tao Bistro, and Dune.[3]

Uchitel married Steven Ehrenkranz, a financial broker, in 2004. They were divorced in 2005 after only four months of marriage. Her grandfather, Maurice Uchitel, owned the famous Manhattan nightclub the El Morocco, from 1964-1970.[4][5]

Two Secret Service agents visited a Virginia winery Friday intending to question a couple whose appearance at a White House state dinner raised eyebrows this week, the winery manager told CNN.

Diane Weiss, manager at the Oasis Winery, in Hume, Virginia, said the agents wanted to speak with Tareq and Michaele Salahi. Weiss said she didn't know their whereabouts.

The Secret Service could not be reached for comment.



This White House photograph taken Tuesday evening shows Michaele Salahi, wearing a gold-accented red sari, clasping her hands around Obama's right hand as her smiling husband, Tareq, looks on. The dinner was held for visiting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who is smiling next to the president in the photo.

The user interface of Google Wave breaks new ground and yet is not unfamiliar as its layout resembles the inbox of your mail application. The time line that lets you recap how the wave has evolved and changed since your last visit is something that even wikis don’t have today—a feature that will surely be copied extensively in the future due to its intuitive usability. The user interface motivates further contributions to the wave. This is an excellent way to convince a lot of people to participate.

It is a completely new experience to actually see your friends, colleagues and contacts type in and change content in real time. No other application apart from a few client-side chat tools currently offers such a service via a web interface. If you’re a tech geek, you’ll love that part of Google Wave. It is a powerful innovation when it comes to real-time communication and collaboration. It is competing with the well-known comforts of email, wikis and chat, but in a lot of use cases, I think Wave will win.

Brainstorming, early concept creation and discussion is what I see Google Wave being used for extensively in the near future. It can also serve as a multi-user note-taking platform for meetings and sessions in your company or university. If you want to organize an event collaboratively, Google Wave will most likely replace wikis. That’s a punch in the gut for all creators of wiki software. These are just the most obvious uses. As more people use Google Wave and become comfortable with it, they will begin using it in entirely new ways. The real-time communications it makes possible will override its weak points because of the greater efficiency it allows for any group trying to work together.

The biggest downside is there are no means of monitoring waves. This is Google Wave’s biggest weakness. I don’t get an email, G-voice alert, or any other notification in the communication systems I already use today when there is new activity in a wave.

If you need a Wave invite so you can try it out, call, email or leave comment and I will hook you up.

The first Thanksgiving in North America was in 1621. No, I wasn't there! But I read that after a rich harvest, the men, women and children who had survived the first year in the New World gathered for a feast to offer thanks.

One of the pilgrims wrote at the time: "By the goodness of God, we are so far from want."

The menu for that first Thanksgiving had some surprises. It was not turkey and pumpkin pie. Historians say they probably ate fowl and venison. The pilgrims didn't have forks, they used spoons. More likely, they ate with their hands. They didn't have much sugar, so deserts, including pumpkin pie were not on the menu.

Whatever it may have involved, that meal left us with an enduring tradition: a gathering around a table, giving thanks for surviving in an uncertain and difficult new place.

A few years ago, the Unitarian minister Peter Fleck suggested we look at Thanksgiving differently. Maybe, he wrote, the pilgrims weren't thankful because they had survived. But maybe they had survived...because they were thankful. These were people who lived their lives in wonder and hope, grateful for everything, the hard winds and deep snows...the frightening evenings and hopeful mornings ...the long journey that had taken them to a new place. They knew how to express gratitude.

Maybe that spirit can teach us something, as we endure our own hard winds and deep snows - the storms of our own lives and that of our beloved nation, especially now. So as Reverend Fleck so beautifully put it, maybe the pilgrims weren't thankful because they survived.

Maybe they survived because they were thankful.

Another ObamaNation WTF moment

White House Party Crasher with Moron in Chief

Crashing a state dinner at the White House apparently takes a security breakdown as well as some kind of nerve.The Secret Service is looking into its own security procedures after determining that a Virginia couple, Michaele and Tareq Salahi, managed to slip into Tuesday night's state dinner at the White House even though they were not on the guest list, agency spokesman Ed Donovan said.

Donovan confirmed the identities of the couple. The Washington Post, which first reported on their evening out, said the Salahis were well-known in the Virginia horse-country set and were being considered for the Bravo reality TV show "Real Housewives of D.C."

In an interview with the "CBS Early Show" in September, Michaele Salahi said, "President Obama has made it very accessible for anyone to visit the White House, so that's like a big thing right now."

Stay tuned for updates, this is going to get real good. My guess is that the cancer known as "political correctness", which always trumps security considerations in the Obamanation, will be front and center of this debacle.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — Sparkly reindeer-dung necklaces are going on sale at an Illinois zoo that hopes to attract the same holiday shoppers who swept up its dung Christmas ornaments last year. The limited-edition Magical Reindeer Gem necklaces will debut Friday at the Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington.

The $15 pendant necklaces contain dried, sterilized reindeer droppings — sprayed with glitter — on a beaded chain. They'll be available at the zoo's gift shop, or by mail for $20. The ornaments are back, and 450 have already sold this season. About 1,500 are still available for $7.50, or $10 by mail. Miller Park Zoological Society spokeswoman Susie Ohley admits it's a bit silly but estimates the zoo could make $16,500. The zoo lost $200,000 under city budget cuts this year.

Before Sunday's win over the hapless Redskins, the last time the Cowboys won a game scoring seven points or fewer was in December 1970.

Randy Galloway of the Fort Worth Star Telegram and ESPN 103.3 has some thoughts to share on the 2009 Cowboys

Some 46 million turkeys, so say the pilgrims who track such things, will have died this week by the time we get to Thursday. And then there’s the Dallas Cowboys."Stayin’ alive," said receiver Patrick Crayton, who was describing his game-winning end zone-improvised route, as opposed to pop songs of the ’70s, or even the shaky condition of his team.

Beating the Washington Redskins by a final score of 7-6 sounded more like a Frankie Francisco bullpen collapse two blocks to the east, but it actually defined the Cowboys in Sunday’s desperate and, finally, successful survival act.
Lose this one, and even with Oakland on the Thanksgiving platter for Thursday, this was a team that was cooked, along with those 46 million turkeys, even before the dreaded December death march. The math is not complicated. Two touchdowns in the last two games. Fourteen points, period. And totally outplayed by an outmanned Redskins defense on Sunday.

The big local debate after Green Bay a week ago was "giving up on the run." For nearly 58 minutes on Sunday, the Cowboys had plenty of yards on the ground. Except there were no points on the scoreboard. In the NFL, if you’re not passing to win, you’re not winning. OK, it was Washington, a club with so many issues that anything is possible. So a win became possible.
Romo suffered a back injury early, and he was also awful until late. But when it was absolutely up-against-the-wall Redskin mothers, then Tony delivered, as did his receivers, on a gut-grabbing clutch drive in deep stretch.

Afterward, the locker-room theme was mostly the typical "a win is a win in this league," and if the players and coaches had noticed it, they would have pointed to what happened to the Steelers in Kansas City on Sunday, or, yes, how those incoming Raiders shocked the Bengals.

From wideout Miles Austin: "I don’t consider it an offensive slump for us. We won, didn’t we? But let’s see what happens next week." Actually, "next week" comes Thursday. And the Raiders are not a bad defensive club. One thing the Raiders will obviously concentrate on is that Romo didn’t complete a pass to a wide receiver until he hit Austin for 23 yards on the last play of the third quarter.

Not that Roy Williams didn’t have an opportunity or two, but, frankly, shouldn’t Sam Hurd be warming up, or even Kevin Ogletree, to take over Roy’s spot? This Roy thing is looking hopeless. (OK, OK, OK. Jerry would not approve.)

Never had Tony thrown for so few yards (158) and won a game.

Don’t expect it to happen again.

Randy Galloway can be heard 3-6 p.m. weekdays on Galloway & Co. on ESPN/103.3 FM.

Bonzer Wolf™ has established the existence of a common-law trademark right based on his public persona. BONZERWOLF™, bonzerwolf™, BonzerWolf™ & BONZERWOLF™ trademarks were established at the same tiime.

Readers can still take my name in vain, call me out and say whatever they want about Bonzer Wolf™ intellectual property. In spite of the ObamaNation, the Constitution is the law of the land in the United States of America and still applies to Bonzer Wolf™.

You can use a trademark for editorial or informational purposes without infringing. Such uses do not require permission because they inform, educate, or express opinions protected under the First Amendment. The laws protecting personalities' names only go so far. But you will likely run into problems if you sell goods or services using the trademark personality's name, or if you imply the endorsement of the celebrity for any goods or services.

When a person's name functions as a trademark, it's in relation to a product or service -- in this case the Bonzer Wolf™ live journal or "blog". You can only use the Bonzer Wolf™ trademark to stop others from competing against you unfairly, not to prevent the listing of your name on court documents, in newspapers or in any type of editorial use.

While celebrity or public personality names are generally not eligible for trademark registration, these individuals do typically have a right of publicity. The right of publicity provides such persons with the ability to control and profit from commercial use of their name. Though similar to a trademark, the right of publicity is not considered sufficient to satisfy the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) trademark element.

However, UDRP panels have created a way for public personalities to navigate around this problem. In these domain cases, panels note that the UDRP accepts claims based on common-law trademark rights. As such, public personalities may establish the existence of a common-law trademark right based on their recognized accomplishments or public persona. Therefore, people who are well known and able to show a current and direct correlation of their name with a brand or service, do not have a problem trade marking their names.

Even if a person can prove a common-law trademark right in the name, the right does not necessarily prevail at all costs. The second and third UDRP factors require celebrities to show that the domain owner lacked a legitimate use for the domain name and that the registration is in bad faith. A Panel may determine that the domain owner has a legitimate interest in the domain if they share the same personal name as the trademark name or uses the domain for a fan/gripe website.

However, regardless of a domain owner’s legitimate interest, a determination that the domain name was registered in bad faith will sway any decision in favor of the trade mark holder. Source confusion and intent to profit are the bad faith factors most commonly cited in domain name proceedings. With source confusion, panels worry that use of the trademark personal name will confuse internet users into thinking that a website is run, owned, endorsed or sponsored by the celebrity. This concern is more prominent when the name consists solely of a personal name and is not coupled with other terms such as “fans.”

In addition to confusion, any commercial use of a personality domain name will also be weighed against the domain owner. Commercial considerations include offering the domain name for sale or loading the website with sponsored advertisements. In fact, panels have generally held that even if the website is being used as a fan/gripe site, any evidence of commercial gain, i.e. sponsored links, will lead to a finding of bad faith.

Do you believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy? Democrats believe in all of them. Democrats also believe in Utopia. But for the rest of us, none of them exist anywhere, except in the imaginations of children, fools and Marxists.

The outcome of Saturday's vote to proceed with debate on the Marxist Health Care Act was predictable. The only question was how much "pork" the "moderate" Democrats could get to buy their votes.

Moderate Democrats are role players in a drama. Per the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) , "The designated role for the 'moderates' is to protest and posture enough to claim to have 'improved' the bill before they inevitably acquiesce in it becoming law".

In other words, "moderates" resistance is BS. You see, there is no such thing as a "moderate" Democrat, except in the imagination of the liberal media.

Mary Landrieu who claims to have "grave concerns" about the cost of the bill, was granted a political gratuity (pork) of $300 million dollars. In her floor speech, she actually told reporters that she could not be bought for a mere $100 million. "I will correct something. It's not $100 million, it's $300 million, and I'm proud of it and will keep fighting for it."

WSJ editorial response to "moderate" Democrat Senator Landrieu of Louisiana says it best, "Note that Senator Landrieu's price included no substantive change in the $25 billion in Medicaid burdens that this legislation will impose on other states, or any reduction in its huge new tax burden on Louisiana small businesses, or any change in the rationing commission it will establish for Medicare. Mrs. Landrieu was voting to enable all of those provisions to take one more giant step toward enactment."

Voters can expect more BS from these so called "moderates" as the debate takes place on the Senate Floor. Don't be tricked by this "play-acting". This bill is fatally flawed and the only way to improve it, is to defeat it. I don't believe in Santa Claus or Moderate Democrats. The only hope for defeating this bill lies with Independent Joseph Lieberman. And by the way, the odds of Senator Lieberman doing the right thing are not very high.

Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys were awful on offense for a second straight week. This time, they were lucky to be playing the broken-down Washington Redskins.Romo led only a single scoring drive, hitting Patrick Crayton for a 10-yard touchdown pass with 2:41 left, and it was enough to give Dallas a 7-6 victory over Washington on Sunday to preserve first place in the NFC East.

The Cowboys (7-3) avoided getting shut out the previous week by scoring with 38 seconds left at Green Bay, then almost saw it happen again at home. This would've been especially stunning since the Redskins (3-7) were down to third-stringers at running back and right guard and came in without their expensive defensive tackle and a star tight end. They'd also never shut out Dallas in the previous 98 meetings.

Frogs will host Texas State, Colgate and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Monday & Tuesday

My daughter graduated from Texas State University in San Marcos (near Austin). I will be sitting in my aisle season ticket seat, 3 rows behind the TCU bench in Fort Worth for all four games.

Frogs vs Bobcats will be the final game on Tuesday night. Will be wearing gear for BOTH teams. My money & my daughter went to Division I Texas State University but neither she nor I ever attended a sporting event in San Marcos. TCU will be the favorite to win (betting line) for sure. Looks like I will be politically correct for once in my life and support both teams. As a graduate of NCAA Division II Armstrong Atlantic State University, I don't ever have a conflict with TCU.

The TCU men's basketball program will play host to the 25th Annual Dick's Sporting Goods NIT Season Tip-Off consolation round at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum this upcoming Monday and Tuesday. The Horned Frogs - who entered the Preseason NIT as the seventh seed - was one of three sites chosen to host the consolation rounds. The Frogs posted an 83-65 victory over Cal State Northridge in the first round followed by a 53-49 setback to host-program Arizona State in the finals of the West Bracket.

This is the first time that TCU has ever hosted a Preseason NIT game as the Frogs welcome Texas State, Colgate and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Texas State and UW Milwaukee will open up play on Monday with game time slated for 5:30 p.m. while TCU and Colgate will play in the nightcap beginning at 8:00 p.m. The Frogs and Raiders met last season where TCU recorded a 62-37 victory at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.

On Tuesday, Colgate and UW Milwaukee will play the first game beginning at 5:30 p.m. while the Frogs and Bobcats close out the Preseason NIT with an 8:00 p.m. tip-off. This will be the first meeting between the Frogs and Bobcats since the 2005-06 campaign as TCU holds a 2-0 advantage in the series records.

TCU men's basketball season ticket holders will be guaranteed their same seats for both day of Preseason NIT action for $10 per day. Non-season ticket holders can purchase tickets for $15 for adults and $8 for youth (ages 3-17). All TCU students will be admitted free with a valid student ID.

For more information on tickets, please contact the TCU Athletics Ticket Office at (817) 257-FROG or visit gofrogs.cstv.com/

An influential centrist Senate Democrat said Friday he would vote to move forward with health-overhaul legislation, raising expectations that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will secure the 60 votes needed to thwart Republican efforts to stall the bill.

Ending weeks of uncertainty, Sen. Ben Nelson (D., Neb.) said supporting the Republican filibuster -- which threatens to block Democrats from opening debate -- would deny voters in his state a voice on the issue. "I won't slam the door of the Senate in the face of Nebraskans," he said. "The Senate owes them a full and open debate."

The senator also secured one of several favors that Democratic leaders doled out to win over waverers: He persuaded them to keep out a provision that would repeal the insurance industry's antitrust exemption, congressional aides said.

Not long after Mr. Nelson's announcement, another Democrat whose backing had been in question, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, said he, too, would support moving forward. Mr. Wyden Friday secured a commitment from Mr. Reid to support a $4 billion amendment designed to give workers greater flexibility to purchase health insurance outside the workplace. Mr. Wyden said the proposal represented a "modest step" forward and was "my price" for supporting moving ahead.

While momentum was building behind Mr. Reid, the support of at least two other Democrats -- Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas -- remained in doubt late Friday.
A Landrieu spokeswoman said the senator was undecided. Even before Mr. Reid unveiled the 2,074-page measure this week, he made a strong play for the support of Ms. Landrieu, a centrist Democrat, adding a provision that would steer an estimated $200 million to $250 million in Medicaid funds to her state in fiscal 2011, congressional aides said.

A spokeswoman for Sen. Lincoln, who faces a tough re-election battle next year, said she was still reviewing the bill. Polls show the White House-backed bill is unpopular in Arkansas. Democrats say states such as Arkansas, where many people lack health insurance, will benefit from the bill because it includes government subsidies to help lower- and middle-income families buy coverage. Republicans say the government can't afford such steps.

I predict the vote will be exactly 60-40 tomorrow night. The two remaining senators are simply holding out for more ransom money.

– The system of economic and political thought developed by Karl Marx, along with Friedrich Engels, esp. the doctrine that the state throughout history has been a device for the exploitation of the masses by a dominant class, that class struggle has been the main agency of historical change, and that the capitalist system, containing from the first the seeds of its own decay, will inevitably, after the period of the dictatorship of the proletariat, be superseded by a socialist order and a classless society. Random House Dictionary

-The political and economic philosophy of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in which the concept of class struggle plays a central role in understanding society's allegedly inevitable development from bourgeois oppression under capitalism to a socialist and ultimately classless society. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition

-The doctrines of Karl Marx and his associate Friedrich Engels on economics, politics, and society. They include the notion of economic determinism — that political and social structures are determined by the economic conditions of people. Marxism calls for a classless society in which all means of production are commonly owned (communism), a system to be reached as an inevitable result of the struggle between the leaders of capitalism and the workers. The American Heritage® New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition

If you accept the above definitions, then you have no choice but to accept that the President of the United States and the radical left wing leadership of the Democratic Party are MARXISTS.

I also believe that both Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are Liberal Fascists after reading the following book:

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning is a bestselling book by Jonah Goldberg, a conservative syndicated columnist and the editor-at-large of National Review Online. The book reached #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list of hardcover non-fiction in its seventh week on the list.

In the book, Goldberg shows that contrary to conventional wisdom, fascist movements were and are left-wing. He states that both modern liberalism and fascism descended from progressivism, and that prior to World War II, "fascism was widely viewed as a progressive social movement with many liberal and left-wing adherents in Europe and the United States". Goldberg says that the title Liberal Fascism comes "directly from a speech that H.G. Wells gave to the Young Liberals at Oxford in 1932." Goldberg says that Wells had stated that he wanted to "assist in a kind of phoenix rebirth" of liberalism as an "enlightened Nazism."

Goldberg writes that there was more to fascism than bigotry and genocide and, in fact, that bigotry and genocide were not so much a feature of fascism itself, but rather a feature of Nazism, which was forced upon the Italian fascists "after the Nazis had invaded northern Italy and created a puppet government in Salò."

Goldberg argues that over time, the term fascism has lost its actual meaning and instead has descended to the level of being "a modern word for 'heretic,' branding an individual worthy of excommunication from the body politic" and that this devolution of the meaning is not new, noting that George Orwell (a democratic socialist) had observed this in 1946 when he described the word as no longer having any meaning except to signify "something not desirable".

It is what it is. Obama is who he is. Even without the fraudulent ACORN votes, there were enough legitimate votes to elect Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States. People, faced a difficult decision and frankly, Obama lied his ass off during his campaign. Obama said what he needed to get elected. He did not tell voters that he had been a Marxist since his college years. But in fact, he had made many statements supporting Marxism prior to running for President.

We can't go back and change the election. But we can determine our future, in this Constitutional Republic, the United States of America.

Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass about political correctness. PC got us here. We are on the verge of becoming a Socialist nations, lead by a Marxist liberal fascist, who does not tolerate dissent or disagreement.

Each and everyone of us, must make a decision that will affect not only us, but our children, grand children and great grand children.

If you need me to say more, than you are a Marxist, a traitor or a moron and there is nothing I can do to help you see the truth. There is nothing you can do to save our country. The rest of you need to get to work and fight to save our beloved country.

Tuffy Moss’ 3-point shot with two seconds left in the game was short and the TCU men’s basketball team’s upset bid was stymied against Arizona State at Wells Fargo Arena late Tuesday night.

TCU took an eight-point lead – their largest of the game – with 3:49 remaining after Edvinas Ruzgas nailed a 3-point shot from the baseline and was fouled. He missed the free throw but Kevin Butler came down with the rebound and a few passes later Tuffy Moss drained a 3 from the top of the arc to silence the 5,622 fans in attendance at the Sun Devils’ home arena.

But the Frogs only scored one more point – a free throw by Moss with 1:13 remaining – which gave TCU a 49-48 lead. TCU kept possession on Moss’s miss on the second free throw when ASU lost the ball out of bounds, but Ruzgas was called for a charge under the basket after he drove from the baseline.

“We just got kind of careless with the ball,” Christian said. “And they took advantage of it. You can’t give a good team like that opportunities like that.”

The Frogs were seconds away from the program’s biggest win in years, especially under Christian, who’s in his second year. “Every time you go on the road it’s going to be tough,” he said. “You’re battling a lot of things but you have to find ways to win the game. We had our chances and we just didn’t find a way to win the game.”

The Sun Devils (3-0) advance to the National Invitational Tip-Off semifinals in New York City next Wednesday. The Horned Frogs (2-1) are left to ponder the eight-point lead they let slip away the final 3 minutes.

Have I written lately how much I enjoy being retired? Life is good. Today's weather reminds me of the high desert of central Oregon. I was born & raised on the south east coast (Tybee Island,GA). Love living in the great state of Texas for the last 30 years. I anticipate my last move will be to Oregon after I turn 60 & Mrs Wolf takes early retirement. In the mean time, I am very happy to live in the DFW metroplex.

I’ll say it. I lost this game for this football team." — Dejected Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams after Sunday’s loss

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Nice try, Roy. Too bad you’re wrong.

Sunday’s 17-7 loss in Green Bay was not the result of Roy’s hand butchery of a catchable pass, or his inability to simply not fumble after a pretty catch and run for 42 yards, or his failure so far to achieve any of the objectives for which he was traded.

What Roy is is an easy scapegoat for this a.m. So go ahead.

Ignore the elephant in the locker room, which is the Cowboys lost not because they were not the better team at Lambeau Field on Sunday but because again they were the weaker one. The Cowboys allowed a cratering Green Bay team to hang around and hang around, never making it pay for repeated buffoonery.

And the Cowboys got exactly what they deserved.

We’d be able to dismiss Sunday’s loss as an anomaly, a blip in what has been a good little stretch, if laying this type of egg was not a sort of default mode for this Cowboys team under Coach Wade. We have seen this game before, in KC, in Philly last December, too many times really for a team as talented as this.

"I don’t know" was the standard response to why afterward, which, frankly, is not good enough. "Why?" actually seems quite simple. Under Coach Wade this has become a team that’s OK with being pretty good, beating Philly and just coasting.
"Sometimes, I wish we dictated to defenses, not let defenses dictate what we do," wide receiver Pat Crayton said.
Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.

The best teams say, "This is what we do. Come and beat us." And what the Cowboys have been doing best is killing teams with a nasty, aggressive, attacking defense and a healthy dose of Tony Romo to Miles Austin.

Did anybody see enough of nasty or Miles on Sunday? And what happened to taking control of a game?

Green Bay was flailing for good chunks of Sunday, a discombobulated mish-mash of an O-line trying to protect a QB who had basically been told by his teammates, "Hey, dude, you stink" in a team meeting last week. They were killing themselves with penalties and silliness and general ineptitude. The crowd was booing. They appeared on the cusp of fold.

So what does it say that Aaron Rodgers and his Packers were the group to right themselves?

"The first thing, give Green Bay a lot of credit for coming back, playing this game, playing here," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said.

He, apparently, thought Mike McCarthy and Co. might no-show after being embarrassed by Tampa Bay. Stupidly, I thought the Cowboys had turned a corner a week ago in Philly and were worthy of cautious optimism.

What they did in Green Bay necessitates questioning everything.

This is not to say the Cowboys cannot lose, or that losing in Green Bay was some sort of unforgivable football sin. This is the NFL. Teams lose. It is the no-show aspect to the game that makes you worry for the Cowboys going into their personal hell called December.

Manny Pacquiao's speed and power were way too much for Miguel Cotto's heart.

Pacquiao put on yet another dominating performance Saturday night, knocking down Cotto twice and turning his face into a bloody mess before finally stopping him at 55 seconds of the 12th round.

The fight was billed as a 145-pound classic, and in the early rounds it didn't disappoint. The two went after each other with a vengeance and Cotto more than held his own as they traded punches in the center of the ring.

Pacquiao, coming off of spectacular wins over Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton, added another one against Cotto, who had lost only once and held the WBO version of the welterweight title. Pacquiao did it in trademark fashion, throwing punches in flurries and from all angles until Cotto began to slow down and then pursuing him relentlessly until the fight finally ended.

The fight will likely set up an even bigger fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., and many in the soldout crowd at the MGM Grand arena began chanting "We want Floyd! We want Floyd" after the fight ended.

"I want to see him fight Mayweather," trainer Freddie Roach said.

Mayweather may have second thoughts after Pacquiao did what no fighter has done before and win a belt in a seventh weight class. More impressive, though, is how he has fought, dismantling opponents despite moving up consistently from 106 pounds to the 144 he weighed for the fight.

The welterweight ranks will be the last ones Pacquiao conquers, though. He said he will not move up any more in weight.

Pacquiao earned a minimum $13 million, while Cotto got $7 million

Now that the hometown fans are finally taking notice of No. 4 TCU, maybe the rest of the nation will also realize that the BCS-hopeful Horned Frogs are for real. Utah certainly can't disagree.

In likely its last significant hurdle to an undefeated regular season, TCU scored three touchdowns in a 2 1/2-minute span early in the second quarter and beat No. 16 Utah 55-28 Saturday night.

The Horned Frogs (10-0, 6-0 Mountain West) stretched their winning streak to 12 games since a last-minute loss last November at Utah (8-2, 5-1), which had won 22 of 23. TCU also has won 13 in a row at home since losing when the Utes last visited two years ago.

With a record crowd of 50,307 - a sellout at 79-year-old Amon Carter Stadium without the benefit of an instate opponent - and representatives from the Orange, Rose and Fiesta bowls watching from the athletic director's suite, the Frogs put on quite a show. Fans stormed the field when it was over.

Matthew Tucker had the first and last touchdowns (runs of 41 and 9 yards) for TCU, with five teammates getting into the end zone in between. The 55 points were the most allowed by Utah since 1996.

Even without guaranteed access to the Bowl Championship Series, the Frogs have changed the question about if they can be a BCS buster. Now it's can they be the first outsider to play for the national title?

The Frogs are fourth in the BCS standings, the highest a team from a conference without an automatic bid has reached. They trail only Florida, Alabama and Texas - all winners Saturday.
