The Walter Payton Statue Debate
2009-09-17 03:24:00 We take a moment away from the 2009 season to discuss a topic currently making the Chicago media rounds. The Chicago Park District has announced they are against the placement of a Walter Payton statue in the area outside Soldier Field. From the Tribune:According to a Payton family spokeswoman, park district officials explained that Soldier Field and the area surrounding it is to be preserved strictly as a memorial to war veterans. There also is concern a Payton statue outside of Soldier Field might diminish the stature of other former Bears Hall of Famers. The park district, which oversees Soldier Field and its grounds, reportedly offered to have the statue placed at any other Chicago park.While there will surely be...
Why isn't Soldier Field a fitting place for a Walter Payton statue?
2009-09-16 16:04:00 Fred Mitchell writes on chicagotribune.com that the family of Walter Payton has been rebuffed in its efforts to donate a statue of him for display outside Soldier Field. They said the Chicago Park District told them that Soldier Field and the surrounding area is to be preserved strictly as a memorial to war veterans. If there was a statue of a World War I doughboy outside Soldier Field, a statue of a football player alongside would seem inappropriate. But it's the edifice itself that's a lasting war memorial, the columns in particular. That's all they preserved when Soldier Field was rebuilt. I can't fathom any objection to honoring a man who was the face of Chicago Bears football for the better part...
Should Walter Payton get a statue at Soldier Field?
2009-09-16 08:19:00 It's a question that seems almost silly to ask: Should a statue of Walter Payton be erected outside Soldier Field? (Chicago Tribune) Good Lord, of course. He's the greatest player in Bears history, maybe in NFL history, and was beloved off the field as well as on. This is the no-brainer of no-brainers. Except it's not. The Chicago Park District doesn't want it to happen because, according to the Chicago Tribune, "Soldier Field and the area surrounding it is to be preserved strictly as a memorial to war veterans." Well, that makes perfect sense. Football is war-like, but it's not war. And to mix fake war with those who fought in real wars is beyond insensitive. Vote in the poll...
Walter Veltroni dice innocente Berlusconi per pubblicizzare il suo ultimo r
2009-08-23 14:49:00 Walter Veltroni dice innocente Berlusconi per pubblicizzare il suo ultimo romanzetto Noi di Iannozzi Giuseppe Non gli è bastato affossare la sinistra italiana, adesso Walter Veltroni assolve Silvio Berlusconi con parole più che mai vergognose rilasciate a Il Resto del Carlino nel corso d'un'intervista: "La colpa più grave di Berlusconi è quella di non avere migliorato in nulla il paese pur dominandone la politica da 15 anni, ma non credo che con lui scompariranno anche l'egoismo e l'individualismo". Per questo ignobile politicante che non è più segretario del Pd, che però oggi deve uscire in libreria con un ennesimo romanzetto pubblicato dal gruppo RCS, le convinzioni di ieri fanno presto a cambiare radicalmente, difatti oggi esprime la sacra e netta certezza che le responsabilità dello stato attuale del Paese non siano tutte attribuibili al premier. In maniera machiavellica quanto vile tenta di spiegare: ...
Correction: Obit-Walter Cronkite
(AP)
2009-08-05 21:19:00 AP - In a July 18 obituary of Walter Cronkite, The Associated Press, relying on published accounts including Cronkite's memoir, reported erroneously that "cronkiter" was used in Sweden and the Netherlands as a term for "TV anchorman." Olof Hulten, a journalism educator in Sweden, and Radio Netherlands Worldwide's Expert Desk say the term is unknown in their countries.

Walter Veltroni riabilita Craxi. La vergogna non conosce decenza
2009-07-15 12:17:00 Walter Veltroni riabilita Craxi La vergogna non conosce decenza a cura di Iannozzi Giuseppe «Interpretò meglio di ogni altro uomo politico come la società italiana stava cambiando. Fu grande. Ci fu l’episodio di Sigonella ma anche la scelta di tenere l’Italia nella sfera occidentale, senza intaccare autonomia e dignità del Paese». La dichiarazione è di Walter Veltroni, per trent’anni imboscato tra le fila di Pci, Pds, Ds, e da ultimo segretario del Pd. Parla davanti a Stefania Craxi: «Craxi decise che bisognava cambiare gioco, porre la sinistra di fronte al problema di una nuova leadership. Ho riletto i verbali delle riunioni del partito, fanno accapponare la pelle... un partito fluido, moderno, capace di raccogliere anche ciò che non è omogeneo a sé, ma che si unisce attorno a determinate idee. Craxi innovava ma, negli stessi anni, anche Berlinguer ...
La lettera dei figli di Walter Tobagi: invito a chiudere una stagione di od

È importante che il Paese superi un sentimento di divisione ideologica che dura da troppo tempo. Bisogna invece lasciare spazio a una volontà condivisa di costruire un futuro diverso. È importante che, soprattutto fra coloro che hanno pagato un prezzo altissimo a una stagione di odio inutile, si manifesti la volontà di fare un passo per includere tutti in questo sforzo di superamento delle barriere, perché certi eventi drammatici non si ripetano. Che questo avvenga proprio nel quarantesimo anniversario della strage di piazza Fontana e della morte di Pino Pinelli, eventi che forse più di ogni altro hanno la...

I am serious when I tell you that if I was placed on a desert island, and could only have one album, this might be the album. And I bet someone is wondering how could I pick a Little Walter album over say a Muddy Waters album, or maybe a Howlin' Wolf album. Well part of it may be my mood right now, if I pose this question on another day, I might come up with a different album, but right now this is how I feel.I agree with Robert Gordon's assessment of Little Walter when he said;Marion "Little Walter" Jacobs is perhaps the most influential harmonica player on contemporary blues, and his collection is a great place to start. He was trained by Muddy Waters, but brought a more swinging feel...

Walter Williams on Constitutionalism
2008-07-23 14:12:00 ?One of the unappreciated casualties of the War of 1861, erroneously called a Civil War, was its contribution to the erosion of constitutional guarantees of state sovereignty. It settled the issue of secession, making it possible for the federal government to increasingly run roughshod over 9th and 10th Amendment guarantees. A civil war, by the way, is a struggle where two or more parties try to take over the central government. Confederate President Jefferson Davis no more wanted to take over Washington, D.C., than George Washington wanted to take over London. Both wars are more properly described as wars of independence... Federal usurpation goes beyond anything the Constitution?s framers would have imagined. James Madison, explaining the constitution, in Federalist Paper 45, said, ?The powers delegated... to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on extern...

--=[ Walter Beasley ]=--
2008-04-22 20:44:00 Walter Beasley - Ready for Love [2007]This is a significant effort from pioneer smooth jazz artist, Walter Beasley, that was not apparent from a first listen. But, after twice hearing his rousing renditions of Deniece Willliams', "Free".As formula-satisfying as most of his soft, soulful contemporary jazz is, Walter Beasley allows himself the luxury of branching out. On Ready for Love, the alto saxophone veteran goes on his first reggae outing, "She Moves Me," which with its synth trimmings won't sell any package trips to Jamaica, but still should appeal to his fans. Beasley also continues to find his comfort zone as a singer, channeling Curtis Mayfield via singer William DeVaughn and his 1974 hit, "Be Thankful for What You've Got." Beasley's cast of collaborators is large--eight producers are credited--but at this advanced stage in his career, people know what he wants and custom-deliver it to him.Walter Beasley - For Her [2005]This CD is oh so mellow.This album is a pleasure to...

Walter Veltroni e Pier Ferdinando Casini, l'accordo per Roma, Notizie polit
2008-04-18 10:17:00 Autore: Ultime Notizie Agenzia di pubblicità Oggetto: Walter Veltroni e Pier Ferdinando Casini, l'accordo per Roma Inviato: Ven Apr 18, 2008 7:17 pm (GMT 11) Il leader del Pd e quello dell'Udc sono rimasti a colloquio per 40 minuti nell'ufficio di Montecitorio dell'ex presidente della Camera: in agenda anche il ballottaggio per il sindaco di Roma, che vede coinvolti il candidato del Pd Francesco Rutelli e quello del Pdl Gianni Alemanno. I voti dell'Udc saranno decisivi per chi vorrà salire al Campidoglio. Veltroni preme fino alla fine per cercare di convincere Casini a sostenere Rutelli nonostante ci siano delle linee poco incomuni. Casini ha risposto che non dipende tutto da lui ma dai dirigenti di Roma dell'Udc. Intato sembra aperto il dialogo tra i due leader dell'opposizione ad un'alleanza unitaria alla Camera al Senato ma frena a Radio Radicale Rocco Buttiglione.

Per Berlusconi, in onda dalle 21.06 alle 21.40, gli spettatori sono stati 3.100.000 con uno share dell'11.02%; per Veltroni, subito dopo, dalle 21.49 alle 22.35, 3.836.000, con uno share 13,91 per cento. Percentuali lontanissime dai picchi d'ascoito delle vecchie tribune politiche. Gli ascolti per le due conferenze stampa, secondo Veltroni, dimostrano che «il Paese è stanco di sentir dire le stesse cose da quindici anni, con gli stessi toni». Secca la replica di Gianfranco Fini, leader di Alleanza nazionale, secondo cui il fatto che Veltroni abbia interessato più spettatori di...

Walter Brueggemann: "Infallibility" Versus Faithful Imagination
2008-03-30 17:28:00 Image #55 (Fall 2007) ran an interview with the notable Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann that led off with some questions on the role of the imagination in Biblical faith. His remarks, excerpted below, could serve as my own manifesto for how I read the Bible as an artist and a Christian. (The full article is not available online, so buy the issue and read their symposium on "Why Believe in God?" with Wim Wenders, B.H. Fairchild, Doris Betts and others.) ...[W]hat we always do with the biblical text, if we want it to be pertinent or compelling or contemporary, is commit mostly unrecognized acts of imagination by which we stretch and pull and extend the implications of the text far beyond its words.I have come to the rather simplistic notion that imagination is the capacity to image a world beyond what is obviously given. That's the work of poets and novelists and artists--and that's what biblical writers mostly do. I think that's why people show up at church. They wan...

2008-03-21 17:30:00 Last night we opened and old favorite of a new vintage, the Walter Hansel 2005 South Slope Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. The apperance in the glass; a light, clear, garnet red color.The nose showing raspberry, red cherry, slight hint of strawberry, herbal tea, and touch of basil at the end.The palate tasting of fresh raspberry, cherry, earth, and pencil shavings at the very finish. This pinot has great acidity and young but relatively soft tannins.A beautiful elegant style Pinot Noir with bright red fruit and good structure. We really enjoyed it , as we have earlier vintages of this wine, and at $ 33.99 I dare to say that it is good value for the buck at this level of quality.Find it at Wine-Searcher.com from $33.99.Vote for my blog here and help me reach top 10 on The Blog Top!
