More WaPo Stenography On Iraq
2007-08-20 18:14:00 So U.S. Army Major General Rick Lynch tells us here that ?about 50 members of an elite Iranian military unit are training Shiite militias south of Baghdad, the first time the U.S. military has alleged that Iranians are aiding insurgents from inside Iraq.?And, as noted here, Dubya recently designated Iran?s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization to be covered under the 2002 Authorization to Use Military Force.Given this, is it altogether surprising that Gen. Lynch, among others, has advocated that we ?splurge on? forever in that quagmire?And I would question Lynch for no other reason than that I don?t trust him based on how he handled the ?investigation? into the killing of a Reuters journalist by our troops near Baghdad in September 2005. Apparently, the ?crime? committed by driver Waleed Khaled that warranted his death was to shift his car quickly into reverse upon nearing a military checkpoint; Lynch said that "that car approached at a high rate of speed and then conducte...

Famed tenor Jerry Hadley dies a week after suicide attempt with a self-infl
2007-07-19 06:40:00 I hate writing posts about the most personal of all subjects; suicide. This is another sad story of fame, fortune, fans and yet failure with inner happiness. Jerry Hadley, the world-class tenor known for his agile and lyric voice, died Wednesday, a week after he shot himself in an apparent suicide attempt. His attempt proved "successful". Jerry's attractive lyric tenor voice, all-American good looks and exceptional acting ability carried him from a humble farm upbringing in northern Illinois to the world's major opera houses, including a distinguished career with Lyric Opera of Chicago for nearly two decades. Hadley, who had been battling personal problems, shot himself with an air rifle July 10 at his home 80 miles north of New York City. State police said he was found unconscious on his bedroom floor.He had an incredible career. Mr. Hadley was a longtime favorite at Lyric Opera, where he sang an impressive 11 leading tenor roles between his debut with...
El vendedor de celulares más famoso, Tenor de Ópera
2007-07-18 21:23:00 Paul Potts era un humilde vendedor de celulares en Inglaterra, hasta que llegó al programa Factor X, o como le dicen en Inglaterra, England's Got Talent. En el vídeo de abajo, que me pasó mi amigo Octavio, se puede ver la audición de Paul Potts de 36 años. Entre el jurado se encontraba el odioso Simon Cowell, quién no dudó en reír sarcásticamente junto con el público, en el momento que Paul dijo que iba a participar cantando ópera. Bastante impresionante, no faltó ni un minuto para ver la maravilla en los ojos del jurado y del público, que no podían creer que semejante voz saliera de tan humilde, cabizbajo y tímido concursante. Ahora es uno de los cantantes más famosos de Europa y ya tiene contrato con Sony para lanzar su primer CD. Lo que lo deja a uno pensando que las apariencias de verdad engañan. Aquí les dejo el vídeo para que se impresionen al igual que yo. Ésta es su página web, http://www.paulpottsuk.com/ paul pott paul+pott factor+x opera cantante video increible histor...

Famous tenor Jerry Hadley taken off life support after suicide attempt with
2007-07-17 03:54:00 This is another sad story that fame, fortune and success do not bring happiness. Celebrated tenor Jerry Hadley was taken off life support Monday, nearly a week after an apparent suicide attempt left him with a severe brain injury. The 55-year-old singer shot himself with an air rifle last Tuesday at his Clinton Corners home, several miles outside Poughkeepsie, according to state police. State troopers found him unconscious on his bedroom floor. Hadley had been on life support since his arrival at the hospital. Family friend and spokeswoman Celia Novo said he was taken off the systems Monday. "The hospital is just making him comfortable at this point, so his passing could be at any time," Novo saidJerry was a very talented tenor and had a terrific career. In his 20's he began singing in regional companies around the country. Then in 1978, he was noticed by the late Beverly Sills, the general director of the New York City Opera, and was hired. In 1982 he made ...
Star tenor Jerry Hadley is hospitalized after failed suicide attempt with a
2007-07-12 23:42:00 This is another very sad story about a talented and successful artist who suffered from terrible depression and attempted to end his own life. Celebrated tenor Jerry Hadley was hospitalized Wednesday for a gunshot wound police said was self-inflicted. Mr. Hadley was on life support Wednesday.Hadley created the title role in composer John Harbison's "The Great Gatsby" at the Metropolitan Opera, as well as the lead in Paul McCartney's "Liverpool Oratorio." Leonard Bernstein chose him to sing the main part in a 1989 production of Bernstein's musical "Candide."On Tuesday just after 7 a.m., the 55-year-old singer shot himself with an air rifle at his Clinton Corners home, several miles outside Poughkeepsie, said Robert Rochler, a senior investigator with the New York State Police.

I told her they’d have an open door to appear anytime they were in town. And oh how happy I am that this year is the year. They will si...
The Times admits to stenography
2007-07-08 21:37:00 It's been some weekend for the New York Times. First they recognize that the occupation of Iraq was a mistake and that it's time to leave. They are quick to be critical of the Bush administration but fail to mention how their own stenography played a big part in the run up to the invasion. But today public editor Clark Hoyt admits to steganography on the part of the Times in recent weeks.Seeing Al Qaeda Around Every Corner AS domestic support for the war in Iraq continues to melt away, President Bush and the United States military in Baghdad are increasingly pointing to a single villain on the battlefield: Al Qaeda.Bush mentioned the terrorist group 27 times in a recent speech on Iraq at the Naval War College in Newport, R.I. In West Virginia on the Fourth of July, he declared, ?We must defeat Al Qaeda in Iraq.? The Associated Press reported last month that although some 30 groups have claimed credit for attacks on United States and Iraqi government targets, press releases from th...
A Look At Mike Fontenot
2007-07-04 05:04:00 Many mixed leaguers are wondering whether Mike Fontenot is worth a pickup. What's the story on the rookie Cub infielder? The Orioles selected Fontenot 19th overall in the 2001 draft, ahead of Jeremy Sowers but behind Aaron Heilman. Hindsight being 20/20, it would've been nice if the Orioles had drafted the available Jeremy Bonderman or David Wright. Baltimore also picked seventh that year (southpaw Chris Smith). At the time, John Sickels had this to say: After going for a pitcher with their first selection, the Orioles grab an experienced college hitter. Fontenot is just 5-8, but has fine power due to great bat speed and strike zone judgment. His defense is sound at the keystone, and he's a good baserunner as well. He'll be pressing Jerry Hairston Jr. at second base within two years. Fontenot didn't impress in advanced A ball as a 22 year-old in '02, but the O's challenged him with Double A in '03 anyway. He responded with an .880 OPS, winning the tea...

El artículo del año en el blog: Roberto Centeno analiza porq
2006-12-30 21:58:01 Ha sido una de las entradas más consultadas. El artículo se publicó en El Mundo y viene a sintetizar con crudeza y documentación el destrozo que supone de la actual configuración de España este nuevo Estatut de Cataluña (que está recurrido en el Tribunal Constitucional).Parece como si todo fuera posible en esta vida, pero presentándolo según procedimientos reglados y consensuados. Lo que ha alarmado (además de otras cosas) es no sólo el fondo sino las formas.La peculiar dinámica política de laEspaña de Zapatero ha sorprendido incluso en un país envilecido por el consumo y narcotizado, que ha superado cuarenta años de franquismo y cuarenta aaños de terrorismo como si tal cosa. Puede absorber de golpe diez millones de inmigrantes sin rechistar.En este estado de cosas, ¿por qué no ceder al chantaje de Eta o conceder un Estatut como el catalán? ¿Por qué y para qué dar explicaciones a nadie cuando toda Galicia arde en llamas?Roberto Centeno, no obstante este adormilamiento general, pone...

The Latest From "Steno Mike"
2006-11-29 04:03:03 I actually read this column from Mike Allen with its laughable title and found virtually nothing of substance whatsoever.This column was literally dictated to him from Dubya?s inner circle, including National Security Adviser ?Steve? Hadley (maybe my imagination, but just a tad informal?), and the following talking points were communicated:- Dubya and his people refuse to refer to what is transpiring in Iraq as ?civil war? and are calling it ?sectarian violence? instead.- Dubya does not consider himself beholden to Jim ?The Fixer? Baker and the Iraq Study Group (and by the way, how much longer is it going to take for this insulated gang of Beltway ?players? to issue their findings? I mean, it?s not like lives are on the line or anything, right?).- Dubya is going to be a ?good listener? when he meets with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki (as if that somehow is news, thought I guess it is for Dubya sadly?and for some perverse reason, while Dubya and his Iraqi-proxy-du-jour meet co...

Tenor Otoniel Gonzaga at San Francisco Opera and at Philamli
2006-11-20 15:57:03 TENOR OTONIEL GONZAGA AT SAN FRANCISCO OPERA When you come to think of it, luck almost always hounds the last-minute replacements in the performing arts. A year ago, Canadian pianist Louie Lortie became ill on the night he was supposed to be soloist of the Buffalo Philharmonic. Filipino pianist Cecile Licad came in as a last-minute substitute and American critics said the performance ?provided more sparks than a welder on overtime.? Romanian diva Nelly Miricioiu did not have the benefit of a proper American debut even after her triumphs in Europe until soprano Katja Ricciarelli got too ill to sing Traviata in San Francisco Opera. La Miricioiu planed in at the last minute and got one standing ovation after another and more invitations to sing all over the USA.Filipino tenor Otoniel Gonzaga is used to covering for opera superstars from Placido Domingo in National Opera in Washington (excerpts from Merry Widow and Otello) to Luis Lima (Tosca in Salzburg with the late Herbert von Karaj...
"Steno Mike" Strikes Again
2006-11-11 20:15:01 Just for the record, I should note that I attached the following comment to this piece of fluff from Mike Allen of Time Magazine in which he allows Karl Rove the chance to put the best possible spin on the fact that the Republicans lost Congress on Tuesday...Here are the reasons why the Republicans lost control of Congress last Tuesday:The failed execution of the Iraq war in which our government betrayed our service people for reasons that were lies to pursue WMD that no longer existed.The revised FISA guidelines in which our government feels that they can spy on with impunity for 90 days, reporting only to a secret court.The plundering of our government and entitlements in the name of reducing the estate tax.The failure to fund embryonic stem cell research in the name of appeasing an intolerant and small cadre of fundamentalist ?values voters?.An equally intolerant Republican leadership that protected its own every way imaginable and demonized anyone who opposed them (so many examp...
