The achievement comes four years after a spate of firsts, culminating with the election of the first African American president. This one has been greeted with little fanfare. And that is just how Romney and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints want it....." (Read more? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: Washington Post "Afghan commanders show new defiance in dealings with Americans"
Kevin Sieff:
"KABUL —Afghan commanders have refused more than a dozen times within the past two months to act on U.S. intelligence regarding high-level insurgents, arguing that night-time operations to target the men would result in civilian casualties, Afghan officials say.
The defiance highlights the shift underway in Afghanistan as Afghan commanders make use of their newfound power to veto operations proposed by their NATO counterparts...."

Robert Barnes:
"The Supreme Court will conclude one of its most significant and controversial terms in decades by taking on one more issue that has divided the nation: Arizona’s crackdown on illegal immigrants.
The court’s final oral argument on Wednesday — Arizona v. United States — provides yet another chance for the justices to confront fundamental questions about the power of the federal government.

SandBoxBlogs: Washington Post "Mystery donor gives $10 million to Crossroads GPS group to run anti-Obama ads"
When one is faced with another who steadfast refuses to look at their view or facts, and the stakes are literally a matter of the well being of the majority, it is that individual responsibility to communicate in an effective manner that the opposing side will hear.
All the diplomacy, cajoling, patient pointing out of the facts of your need is not going to ever be heard when another is 'deaf'.
How much more stump-bashing, negative advertising, relentless and unbendable rhetoric has to go on in American media and politics before the one voice, the one vote of the common man is listened to?
A very special thank you goes out today to the anonymous donors bringing millions of dollars into the "negative" advertising arena in the most important political race of our time.
On behalf of voices struggling every single day out here to get heard amidst a tsunami of repression, your leadership (and your money) is greatly appreciated.
Say NO to Barack Obama in November 2012.
T.W. Farnam:
"An anonymous donor gave $10 million late last year to run ads attacking President Obama and Democratic policies, escalating the money race that is defining the 2012 presidential campaign. And in the new, free-wheeling environment of independent political giving, the identity of this donor, like many others, is likely to remain a permanent mystery.
The donation went to Crossroads GPS, the conservative nonprofit group founded with the support of political strategist Karl Rove. Another donor gave $10 million in the 2010 midterm elections, according to draft tax returns that provide the first detailed look at its finances...." (Read more? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: Glenwood Springs Post Independent/Kathleen Parker "Moderately speaking"
Kathleen Parker:
"LAS VEGAS, Nev. — As the sun rises and dabs Caesars Palace with morning rouge, irony struts down the strip of casinos, shops and nightclubs.
What better place to contemplate moderation, the topic of a panel and my purpose for being here, than in the epicenter of human excess? The Black Mountain Institute (at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas) posed this question to a panel of three, which also included Norm Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute and Fox News' Juan Williams: “Is moderation possible in American politics?”
The implied consensus would seem to be: Probably not. Or at least not without massive reforms and/or a renaissance of civic duty. The hyper-partisanship we at least say we love to hate isn't likely to recede, given the rewards.
Although the discussion was aimed at politics, the question can't be considered without also contemplating the broader culture. Conveniently, the Vegas strip provides an apt metaphor for both the culture and the political medium. Call it the American Id-eology: Ids all the way, supersized. We are, in a word, immoderate...."

SandBoxBlogs: Washington Post "Military conference offers a woman’s perspective"
Remember Steamboat Springs very own Cmdr. Nicole Shue? Standing at just around 5' tall and commanding the high seas on the U.S.S. Higgins? Remind yourself by clicking here.
She's back in the news. We're pretty sure Petula Dvorak will accommodate a long snip of this piece. After all, there are a number of Colorado women who let their patriotic spirits sail the high sea with Cmdr. Shue. Be sure to read public comments in the link above.
Petula Dvorak:
"Okay, men, I double dog dare y’all to do it here.
Come to this military conference, look into the eyes of the commander of a naval warship or the strike officer who was in charge of deploying Tomahawk cruise missile tests or the major christened “The Angel of Death” by an Afghan general, and tell these women that you want to decide their reproductive future.
I dare you.
This was my first thought when I walked into a Maryland ballroom Monday filled with about 1,700 U.S. servicewomen from all five branches of the military. Hundreds of uniforms, stars, bars and medals, including at least a dozen kind-of-billowy maternity uniforms, and about 1,700 ramrod straight backs.
The Sea Service Leadership Association said this is the largest gathering of military women ever. It offers an opportunity for those in uniform to speak not only about being service members but also about being women.
“Usually, we find ourselves in the minority,” said Navy Cmdr. Nicole L. Maver-Shue, who is president of the association that put on the conference...." (Read more? Click title)

SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent "There was just one Hitch"
"...Among the many things that made Hitchens unique was his precision of thought and expression. What made him rare were his courage and tenacity. He was fearless in the field and relentless in his defense of the defenseless with that mightiest of swords — his pen. Judging from his final essays, he was also fearless in the face of death. Terrified that he might lose his ability to write and therefore his being? Well, that was something else.
In his last article for Vanity Fair, Hitchens said he wanted to be fully present at death so that he might experience it actively rather than passively. How perfect that a man who was never passive about living would go un-gentle (but surely gentlemanly) into that dark night, and dare death to have the last word."

SandBox Comments: Washington Post " What to say to ‘Thank you for your service’"
"Emerging into the sunlight, I’m leaving for work in Winchester, Va., in my Army combat uniform.
Coffee sloshes from my cup onto my bag; my patrol cap is in my hand, not on my head as it should be.
I’m a wreck. A woman I don’t know, a bit older than me, smiles. She looks as if she’s about to say, “Thank you for your service,” to which I’m never sure how to respond.
Six months ago I was in Baghdad, serving as operations chief of the Gulf Region District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Our unit oversees infrastructure rebuilding — a beautiful and expensive endeavor managing construction of schools, roads, hospitals and other big-ticket items. I was someone else six months ago, in charge of force protection, intelligence, security and combat movement across Iraq.
Then my older son, Nicholas, a charismatic and passionate 21-year-old in his third year of college, shot himself during my last week in theater.
Our unit suffered five fatalities during our year in Iraq. One individual was killed by a sniper’s single shot to the head. One person, also named Nicholas, was lost to a vehicle-borne suicide bomb. During my tenure, I learned how to receive such calls and to inform our commander. I had to be direct and calm and succinctly present the information he needed. Remaining professional during these events was difficult, especially because I was out of practice...."

SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent/Kathleen Parker "
"...Meanwhile, Democrats' continued insinuation that the rich are robbing the poor is simply disingenuous. Who employs the poor if not the more prosperous? Who infuses charities with cash but the wealthy? Who grows the economy if not business, now too afraid to part with its money given the current uncertainties?
Mitt Romney was excoriated for saying that corporations are people, too. This sort of statement is easy to mock, but it is truer than the one that contends corporations are the enemy of the people.
Corporations are made up of people — some heartless, I'll concede — who nonetheless provide jobs and grow the economy. Capitalism, the ogre of those protesting Wall Street, has suffered a public relations crisis in the wake of the global economic collapse.
But any remedy to the systemic corruption that led to the collapse should not displace recognition that capitalism creates wealth. Capitalism, and no other economic system, has raised millions from poverty around the world...."

Columnists and experts, even some columnists who were not experts, said the Iranians would never be so sloppy as to commit a virtual act of war by setting off a bomb in the nation’s capital. The plot was crazy, they said. I agree. But so is Iran...."

SandBox Comments: Glenwood Springs Post Independent/Kathleen Parker "Stupid is as stupid does"
"yahoo and hell yeah!"
"SandBox Nanny' gives her first 'nod' of the day to the pen of Ms. Kathleen Parker via The Glenwood Springs Post Independent.
"GOP pop quiz: With whom would you rather roll your dice — a Harvard lawyer who wants government to bankroll jobs through higher taxes? Or a Texas A&M grad/Air Force pilot who has successfully run one of the largest states in the country? ...
....It is far easier to say what is pleasing to the ear than what is true. Even so, anyone who thinks Republicans are stupid is missing the point. What those dummies Bush and Perry have in common, other than having been Texas governors, pilots and cheerleaders (what is it with Texas?), is that they're not stupid at all.
This doesn't mean they're right about everything or even most things. But they're smart enough to know that most people in this country didn't go to Ivy League colleges — or any college for that matter. Most haven't led privileged lives of any sort, but nonetheless have unspoiled hearts and are willing to help any who would help themselves.
This is the essence of the so-called ordinary American. Self-reliant, individualistic, entrepreneurial, neighborly and strong. These people come in both Republican and Democratic flavors, though we've somehow lost sight of that in these hyper-partisan, sound-bite times.
Until someone emerges to remind Americans of who they are in a way that neither insults their intelligence nor condescends to their less- fortunate circumstances, smart money goes to the “stupid” politicians, who are dumb as foxes and happy as clams when their opponents misunderestimate them...."

SandBox Comments: Aspen Daily News: "The day that never ends"
Richard Cohen is one of SandBox Nanny's favorite reads.
It's pretty rare for him to put out anything that has little to no merit.
This piece today is one of those rare times that he has tossed up little to no substance.
There is only one mistake made in going to war with any country or organization after 9/11.
And that mistake, was to call the war everything but what it is.
We are at war with radical terrorism. A plague that unfortunately, permeates every country in the world.
SandBox Nanny will agree with Cohen on one point today.
That point is until the day comes when all peoples, but especially media and journalists, get off the spin, the merit less blame and apathy toward what we are really up against in a global war, it will be a war without end.
