WhenWhiteHouseChief of Staff Rahm Eman-uel last year advised“ never waste a good

crisis,”he likely was thinking aheadto President Obama’s economicstimulus program and health careplan. After swelling thefederal de-citby passingthe stimulusat a costof nearly $1 trillion, Democrats inCongress signedoff on Obamacare, with a price tag, according to Rep.Paul Ryan,R-Wis.,of $2.3 trillion inits rst decade alone. With federal

spending exploding at such a rate,it’s no wonder that Moody’s Inves-tor Service recently warned that it would downgrade the U.S. govern-ment’s credit rating if it concludes“ the government was unable and/or unwilling to quickly reverse thedeterioration it has incurred.”

What the United States govern-ment willdo inthe futuremay be inquestion, but we need not look farto nd past examples of countriesunwilling to get their nances inorder. Consider Argentina. In 1914, it

was one of the wealthiest countriesin theworld, andits livingstandardexceeded that of Western Europeuntil thelate 1950s.Then President

Juan Peron squandered his nation’sprosperity by introducing a hostof redistributionist economic andregulatory policies, nationalizingutilities and foreign investments,

and pumping up the national debt.Whatfollowedwas three decadesof political instability, growing depen-dency and economic stagnation.

There was a brief period of privatization and booming foreigninvestment in what the AmericanEnterprise Institute’s Mark Falcoff called Argentina’s “ gogo”1990s. But

that was negated by the return of political leaders espousingPeronistprinciples andwho created a down- ward economic spiral by breaking

contracts with foreign utility com-panies that had invested heavily inArgentina.

Today, the country has lost itsinternational credit standing andan estimated 10 percent of thepopulation has moved abroad toescapethe stiing taxes,regulationand inefciency. To make matters worse, President Cristina Kirchnerrecently attracted attention for r-ing the president of the country’scentral bank. His sin was refusingto go along with her inationary

spending policies (Argentina’sina-tion is 17 percent) and challengingher demand that he hand over $6.6 billion in bank reserves.

Besides sending federal spendingskyrocketing, Obama has, like somany of the politicians who ruinedArgentina, dramatically increasedgovernmentregulationof business,nationalized major sectors of theeconomy and imposed a lengthylist of tax increases. America todayis no more exempt from economicreality thanArgentina was in years

past. Make no mistake, these actions will eventually drain the life fromthis nation’s economic vitality, justas they did in Argentina.

Patients in the District would beallowed to possess up to 2 ounces of marijuana permonthasprescribedbytheirdoctor, accordingto the medicalmarijuanabill revisedTuesdayby theD.C. Council.

“ Wenowhavea nearlynalproductthatis ready to gobefore thecouncil,”Councilman Phil Mendelson, chair-man of the judiciary committee, toldthe Washington Examiner . “ There’sstilla few technical issues we’re workingon,but thebasicbill is there.”

Two D.C. Council committees dis-cussed theframework of thebill that was approved by D.C. voters in 1998 but until December had been keptfromgoing intoeffectbyCongress.

With a unanimous vote, the billmovesforwardto thefull council fora vote,expectedto betakenin May.

Provisions include a limit of up toeightdispensariesin theD.C.area thatcannot be within 300 feet of a school.Dispensaries will not be owned bythe government but by nonprot orfor-protinstitutionsthat willneedtoapplyfor a license.

Asthebillnowreads, MayorAdrianFentyhas theoptionto raise themaxi-mum allowable monthly amount of marijuana to 2.5 ounces per patient,depending on an individual’s medi-cal condition. Conditions required toreceive a prescription include HIV,AIDSandglaucoma.

Not allowed under the bill would be home cultivation of marijuana,althoughan advisorycommitteewould beestablished to look atthe issueandmakea recommendationby2012.

GOPseeks to followvictories in Va., N.J.ByAlan Suderman Examiner Staff Writer

Former Maryland Gov. BobEhrlich announced Tuesday hisintent to seek a rematch this fall with Gov. Martin O’Malley, endingmonths of speculation.

Ehrlich, a Republican, saidhe will

kick off his campaign in Rockvillenext week.“ It’s time for new ideas and

proven leadership in Annapolis,”Ehrlich told his fans on Facebook.“ Oureconomy andour families canafford no less.”

In a state where Democrats out-numberRepublicans 2-to-1, Ehrlichis one of the Maryland GOP’s mostrecognizable and popular stars.Hiselection in 2002made him theFreeState’srst Republicangovernorina generation.

But Ehrlich, who defeated Kath-leen Kennedy Townsend, lastedonly one term, and was defeated by O’Malley, a Democrat, 53 per-cent to 46 percent in 2006. Recentpolls have shown O’Malley keepinga similar lead but have pegged thecurrent governor’s approval rating below 50 percent.

Ehrlich will seek to capitalize onthe same Republican momentumthat saw recent GOP victories in Virginia, New Jersey and Massa-chusetts.

In the weeks leading to his re-election announcement, Ehrlichhas painted O’Malley as out of touchwith Maryland’smainstreamsensibilities and a foe of the state’s businesses. He pointed to the state’s

highunemployment rate, O’Malley’stax increases and the state’s large budget decit as key issues to hiscampaign.

In response, the state Demo-cratic Party said Ehrlich raisedstate spending more than anyothergovernorin recent history andis toocozywith special interests.

“ We’re glad Ehrlich has nallyannounced. Running against a big-spending politician-turned-specialinterest lobbyist should provide a

good contrast with the tough lead-ership and real progress achieved by the O’Malley/Brown adminis-tration,” said O’Malley’s campaignmanager, Tom Russell.

The latest campaign nancereportshowed O’Malley with about$5 millionin thebank. Ehrlich, whohas not been actively fundraising,had $142,000 cash on balance.

Ehrlich has kept up his publicprole since losing the last election by hosting a weekly radio show inBaltimore with hiswife, Kendel.He works at WombleCarlyle Sandridge& Rice in Baltimore.

Ehrlich has not announced who will be his running mate for lieuten-ant governor.

Organization’s spending under investigationBy AlanSuderman ExaminerStaff Writer

Montgomery County has endedits relationship with a Wheatonchild care center whose spendingpracticeshave come under scrutinyfrom theFBI andcounty ofcials.

The county is moving its con-tracts for Centro Familia to anothernonprot,according to a memothat

Uma Ahluwalia, director of theDepartment of Health and HumanServices, sent to County Councilmembers late Monday evening.Ahluwalia said the move was atthe behest of ofcials from CentroFamilia, which gears its services to

low-income Hispanic immigrants.

The Washington Examiner reported Monday that the county’sindependent inspectorgeneralwasinvestigating whether the centerused county money to pay a $7,000federaltax bill.

Therehave beenseveralreviewsof the center’s bookkeeping in thelast year, includinga visit by an FBIofcial in thefall.

The county has contracts worth$450,000 a year with CentroFamilia, and county staff did notknow how much remained in those

contracts. The current scal yearends in June.ThomasHarr, the executivedirec-

tor of the Gaithersburg nonprotFamily Services Inc., said CentroFamilia’s programs, such as educat-ing home child care workers, won’t

be affected by the shift. He said his

agency hasan annualbudget of $12million and expertise in account-ing and management of nonprotsthatcan help Centro Familiawith itsnancialreporting problemswhile itdecides its long-termfuture.

“ What I can do, I’ll help you getfocusbackon whereyou needto be,on kids andfamilies,” Harr said.

Centro Familia ofcials couldnot be reached for comment, buthave said that they are the targetof a political “ witch hunt” by theinspector general and some County

Council members.The center’s accountant is CountyExecutive Ike Leggett’s campaigntreasurer, and state Del. AnneKaiser, D-Montgomery, is listed asa board member. CouncilwomanNancy Navarro, D-Eastern County,

helped found Centro Familia but

severed ties with thecenterseveral years ago.Inspector General Thomas

Dagley reported last year that thecenter couldn’t properly account for$900,000 in publicfunding. A follow-up investigationby theDHHS found“ several” overpayments; the centerand the county are currently atodds over about $60,000 in countyfunds.

Divorce lawyers are welcomingthe surge of just-married gay cou-ples in the District, lining up for astable of new clients once wedding bells are drowned out by alimonyghts, custody battles and otherlegal standoffs previously reservedfor straight couples.

“ It will bring more businessto family lawyers for all sorts of

issues,” said Carolyn Goodman, aD.C. general practice lawyer whofocuses on divorce law. “ The bot-tom line is you see a lot of peoplegetting married for the wrong rea-sons and it will probably cause thesame strife that breaks [straight]marriages down.”

Andit will lead tomore propertydisputes and custody challenges,expandingthe caseloadfor lawyers,she added.

Lawyers will be waiting with afamiliar pitch.

“

Relationships don’t always lastforever,” said Washington lawyerAbraham Blitzer. “ That’s a fact of life.For peoplewhose livesare inti-mately intertwinedas thosegettingmarried, it’s important for them to wrap up those legal ramications.”

Even with the spike in marriage— and divorce — candidates, law- yerswon’t see an immediate uptick,asDistrict couples arerequired tobeseparatedfor sixmonths if thesplitismutual,or oneyear if contested.

For their part, gay-rights advo-

cates say divorce rates of almost50 percent may fall, as sham mar-riages — often sought for benetsor social acceptance — won’t be ascommonplace.

Many couples married since the weddings began on March 9, suchas Southeast’s Angelisa Young and

Sinjoyla Townsend,were already inlong-termrelationships,which theyargue will ease growing pains that

comewith wedlock.“ It’s notlike I don’t know how shesqueezesout the toothpaste,”Youngsaid Tuesday. “ We’re pretty muchpast that. Now we’re atthe smooth-sailing part.”

Young said they haven’t uttereda word about divorce: “ Why would we?”

But in Massachusetts andCanada, some gay couples soughtdivorces as soon as they were eli-gible todo so.

For those married couples who

moved to states that never recog-nized the union in the rst place,divorceswere not granted.

The District joined Connecticut,New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa-chusetts and Iowa in recognizinggay marriage.

Somehave questionedthe extent

to which couples weremotivated bysettinghistoryand securingbenetsin heading to thealtar.

“

Gay marriage is not an insur-ance policy against difcult times,”said Darlene Garner, who wed hergirlfriendMarch 9.

With more people getting mar-ried, it’s inevitable morewill divorce,said Washington lawyer MichelleThomas.

“ It’s going to change a lot of discussions same-sex couples arehaving,”she said,anticipating morechallengesto the traditional,hetero-sexual adoption model as well.

A recent report by the Centers

forDisease Control and Preventionshowed lowerdivorce rates in statesthat allow gay marriage than inmany that ban the practice. Criticssay those numbers are contingentona varietyof factorsbeyondsexualorientation.

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnellis calling for his counterparts inMaryland and the District to helpimprove Metro safety in the wakeof a crushing federal audit thathighlighted problems between thetransit system and its oversightagency.

Transportation ofcials fromthe three jurisdictions are meet-ing

“

within the next few weeks” toput together a plan for addressingrecentsafetyproblems at thetransitagency, McDonnell said on WTOPradio’s “ Askthe Governor” programTuesday.

“ We have to improve safety tomake sure wehave[the]condenceof ourriders,” thegovernor said.

A Federal TransitAdministrationauditreleasedin early March foundsystemic aws in the relationship between Metro and the Tri-StateOversight Committee,chargingtheindependent safety ofce had beenmarginalized and ignored by Metroofcials.

Thendings cameaftera seriesof high-prole safety lapses that haveplagued the agency, including a Junecrash near the Fort Totten stationthatkilled ninepeople,including theoperator, and a February derailmentnear the Farragut North station.Several track workers have beenkilled in accidents in recent months.A Metro train nearlystruck a teamof the committee’ssafetyinspectorsin December.

McDonnell, in a letter to D.C.Mayor Adrian Fenty and MarylandGov. Martin O’Malley, suggestedthe three jurisdictions coordinateon howto strengthen theoversightcommittee’s clout and bring Metrointo compliance with its require-ments.

“ Theremay be opportunities forus to help focus [the WashingtonMetropolitan AreaTransit Author-ity]on meeting its obligationsto the

[Tri-state Oversight Committee],thus addressingmanyof these con-cerns,” McDonnell wrote.

Metro is governed by a boardcomposed of ofcials fromVirginia,Maryland, the District and the fed-eral government.

Metro has been working overthepastyearto address asmanyof the committee’s recommendationsas it can, said spokesman SteveTaubenkibel.

“ We havebeen working with themin terms of questions ... and trying

to provide as much information tothem, keepthemup todatein termsof what we’re doing to improve theoverall safetyof ourworkforce, espe-cially for thosethathaveto workonthe right of way,” he said.

Marriageapplications havesky-rocketedsince theDistrictstartedissuing licenses for same-sexcou-plesthis month, withdroves of gaypartners expected to relocate tothe city from states where theycan’t tiethe knot.

About 1,100 marriage appli-cations have been led in theDistrict since March 3, accord-ing to courthouse spokeswomanLeah Gurowitz, nearly six timesthe average monthly count.

Though the numbers areexpected to fade in comingmonths, lawyers, politicians andgay activists saysame-sexcouples

will continue to migrate to the Dis-trict,leavingbehind states wherethey aren’t recognized.

“ Virginia is a particularlyunpleasant state for the gay com-munity,” said Peter Rosenstein,president of the Campaign forAll D.C. Families, referring tothe state’s refusal to recognizecivil unions between same-sexcouples.

Openly gay state Del. AdamEbbin, D-Arlington, said hecouldn’t blamea same-sex couplefor leaving the commonwealth.

“ It’s disappointing,” he saidof the expected exodus. “ But Iunderstand their motivation. I’veheard of many situations wheregay couples left Virginia because

they felt more comfortable some- where else.”

Maryland, already more pro-gressive than Virginia in itsrecognition of gay rights, appearsto be moving closer to the Dis-trict. AttorneyGeneral Douglas F.Gansler said this monththat stateagencies should immediately beginrecognizinggay marriage —muchto the chagrin of some lawmak-ers, who say he overstepped hisauthority.

Gurowitzsaid somecouples are waiting until their wedding daynears to pickup theirapplications, which don’t have an expirationdate. Marriage licenses are issuedaftera three-day waiting period.

It looks as if South CarolinaDemocrat Rob Miller wantspublisher Larry Flynt’s unof-cial endorsement for Congress

just as much as most congressionalofces want their complimentarycopy of Hustler.

Flynt talked up Miller’s cam-paign whennamingRep. JoeWilson,R-S.C., as Hustler’s “ [Expletive] of the Month” in February. Milleris running against Wilson, who became a household name afterhis “ You lie” outburst to PresidentObama.

Flynt characterized Wilson

as the liar, discussed the SouthCarolina congressman’s “ underly-ing racism” and then encouragedreaders to donate to Miller’s cam-paign.

For Flynt’s trouble, Miller’sspokesman rewarded the publisher with a “ no comment”when Yeas &Nays questioned him about theendorsement Tuesday. At thesametime, folks at the National Repub-lican Campaign Committee, whocaught wind of it this week, were

almost giddy.“

We were notreally surprised,”NRCC spokes-man Andy Sere

said. “ Rob Miller has been a heroto Hollywood types for months,even though his obscenely liberalideology is considered X-rated inSouth Carolina.”

Wilson’s campaign alsoaddressed one of Flynt’s charges.

“ Finally, there’s this: Joe Wilsonis not really Joe Wilson,” Flynt

penned in the magazine.“

The[expletive]’s legal name is AddisonGraves Wilson Sr.”

Not quite.The congressman’s name is

Addison Joe Graves Wilson, hiscampaign manager told Yeas &Nays,thoughit is listedas AddisonGraves Wilson Sr. on Wikipedia.

On the campaign trail, Seresaid he doubted Miller and Flynt would appear together, but if they wanted to, Republicans wouldn’tmind helping out.

“

We might even be willing topayfor Mr. Flynt’s ight out there,”Sere said.

Would they keep that

copy of Hustler around as well?“ Congressional ofces still

receive his smut, and in our ofceit is quickly trashed,” said PepperPennington, Wilson’s spokeswomanon Capitol Hill.

ANNAPOLIS – The Maryland Sen-ate unanimously passed a measureTuesday that would eliminate pork barrel legislation from the capital budget for the next two years.

Sen. Kathy Klausmeier, D-Bal-timore County, introduced themeasure as an amendment to thecapital budget, and it was imme-diately adopted. The amendment would send state money currentlyused for “ bond bills” — legislationto provide funding forlocal projects— to public schools for scal 2011and 2012.

“ These [bond] billsare theclosest we can get in Annapolis to printingmoney,”said Sen. Andrew P. Harris,R-Baltimore and Harford counties.“ We’re in an economic mess.Print-ing bonds for the purpose of thelocal legislative process is not what we need to do.”

Securing funds for local “ pet”projects through bond bills is a

long-standing tradition for Mary-land lawmakers.“ It’s a way of getting votes,”

said Christopher Summers, direc-tor of the Maryland Public PolicyInstitute. “ The state of Marylandis littered with white elephants where politicians think these aregreat schemes.”

Summers’ institute documented50 Maryland lawmakers who in2008 gave state funds to organiza-tionsfor whichthey servedas boardmembers or in some other leader-

ship capacity.This year, Gov. Martin O’Malleyset aside $15 million for bond bills— $7.5 million each for the Senateand House.

In the Senate, Montgomery andPrince George’s lawmakerssecuredthe mostmoney byfarthisyear forlocal projects. Montgomery’s sena-tors won $1.3 million for15 projects,and Prince George’s won $1.4 mil-lion for 16 projects,accordingto theSenate’s capital budget.

Excluding Baltimore, the rest of the counties averaged $215,000 inpork.

O’Malley spokesmanShaun Ada-mec said the governor would not

object to cutting pork funding forseveral years if the amendment isincluded in the nal version of the budget.

Whether the amendment sticksis up to the House of Delegates anda conference committee.

Evenif theamendmentis enacted,however, lawmakers couldpush petprojects through, as longas budgetcommittees can identify anothersource of funding — meaning they would have to cut from elsewherein the budget.

NorthernVirginia is increasingly becoming the economic engine of the Washington area, according toa new report.

The Virginia region’s share of amajor measure of the Washington-area economy has nearly doubledsince 1970, according to George

Mason University’s Center forRegional Analysis.“ Clearly, Northern Virginia has

become the center of the Washing-ton area’s… economy,”said StephenFuller, the center’s director.

Between1970 and2009, Northern Virginia’s share of the Washingtonarea’s gross regional product sur-passed that of the District and theMaryland suburbs, the report said.Gross regional product is the valueof goods and services producedlocally.

The three areas had about anequal foothold in 1983, when fed-eral contractingbeganto accelerate.Federal contracting totaled $6 bil-lion in 1983 compared with $87 billion in 2009,whichcontributedtoNorthernVirginia’sincreased sharein the local economy, Fuller said.

Thelocation ofWashingtonDullesInternational Airport, whichstrad-dles Fairfaxand Loudoun counties,is also a bigreasonfor theshift, saidTony Howard,chief executive ofcerof theLoudoun CountyChamberof Commerce.“ [The airport] makes it easierfor anyone on any continent to setup shop in Northern Virginia,” he

said.But Northern Virginia’s sharehas

shrunkrecently, as itwas hitharder by the economic downturn than theother two regions. Still, the econo-miesin all three regionsare growing— just at different rates.

DavidRobertson, executivedirec-

tor of the Metropolitan WashingtonCouncil of Governments, acknowl-edged an “ east-west divide” in theregion, saying that the eastern por-tion of theregion,including partsof Marylandand theDistrict of Colum- bia, simply does not have the samelevel or intensity of development asareas farther west, such as Fairfaxand Loudoun.

However, he notedthe revitaliza-tion of D.C.’s U Street corridor andColumbia Heights area.

“ The demand for those condosand apartments in the ColumbiaHeights area is just gangbustershot,” he said.

An areabusinessman is expectedto plead guilty in the bribery andkickback scheme that shook up theDistrict’s technology ofce.

Sushil Bansal, 43, chief execu-tive of District-based AdvancedIntegratedTechnologiesCorp., was

chargedin a“

criminal information” with counts of bribery of a publicofcial and money laundering. Acriminal information indicates thata plea deal has been worked out because the document can’t be led without the consent of the defen-dant.

Yusuf Acar, the chief securityofcer for the District’s technology

ofce, pleaded guilty late last yearto accepting morethan $550,000 in bribes from Bansal. His sentencinghas beenrescheduled to April16.

Prosecutors said Bansal beganshowering Acar and other employ-eeswithmoney in 2005.

In exchange, Acar awardedmillions of dollars in contracts toAdvanced IntegratedTechnologies.

Thetwo also fakedinvoicesand timesheets for Bansal’s “ ghost employ-ees” inorderto skim moneyfromthecity, according to court documents.

Most bribes were paid throughcompanies linked to Acar or con-trolled by others in the conspiracy.

Acarhas agreed topay backmorethan $200,000 in stolen money,including $69,000 in cash that was

seized at his Northwest Washingtonhome.

The FBI began investigatingAcar after receiving a tip froma D.C. employee who had beenapproached to participate in thescheme. The employee agreed tocooperate with investigators and wore hidden recording equipmentthat documented the fraud, pros-

ecutors said.The informant told investiga-tors the scam also included buyinglower-quality equipment than wascontracted for so the conspiratorscould pocket the difference, docu-ments said.

At least 23 contract andfull-timeemployees in the city’s technol-ogy ofce have been red over the

The sad news that VincentGray would challengeMayor Adrian Fentyshowed up in my e-mail

before he announced yesterday. Themessagesaid “ VinceGray for MayorIs Now Following You on Twitter!”

Since I don’t tweet much,follow-ing me won’t lead anywhere. Buthe can read here why I am ratherdespondent over his decision. Vin-cent Gray hasbeen a terricpublicservant, but his daysare numbered.He will have to give up his chair of the city council to take on Fenty.And he is sure to lose.

Here’s why I predict Gray is agoner.

Before a politician decides tomounta campaign,it iswise tobuilda campaignteamand gureout howto raise money. From my quickcheckof Gray’s political apparatus,I am not sure he has done either.

It appears thatGray’s chiefstrat-egist is oneVernonHawkins. It wasHawkinswho wascalling aroundinrecent days to inform D.C.’s politi-

cal elite that Gray was about toannounce. It was Hawkins who has been by Gray’s side as he has met with potential supporters.

Hawkins has a history in D.C.political and governing circles, andit’s not very pretty.

MarionBarryappointedHawkinsto be directorof hisHumanServicesAgency in his fourth term in 1994.Thatwas Barry’s lasttime as mayor,after he was jailed for the cocainerap. That was also when Congresstook over the city and put it underthe nancial control board,becausethe city was hurtling toward bank-ruptcy.

The chief reason for the city’smassive sea of red ink was over-spending by the Human ServicesAgency. Oneof thenancial control board’srst acts was to demand theresignation of Vernon Hawkins.Barry fought for Hawkins. He had been in the city government for30 years. That would make himpart of the problem. The control board forced Hawkins out in 1996.

“ The war is over,”Barry said at thetime.

When Gray ran for city councilchairman in 2006, Hawkinswent to war as Gray’spolitical strategist He worked on Gray’s transition team.Now he’s a pillar of Gray’s mayoralcampaign.

Hawkins is a poster boy forBarry’s style of governing. DittoPeggy CooperCafritz, another Graysupporter. She was school boardpresident when the public schools were in horrible condition.

On the money side, Fenty has all but scraped the table clean. He’s

squeezed every dollar from the business community and amassednearly $4 million. If they give toGray, they risk Fenty’s retribution.

What about money from theunions, especially the teachers, who would love to defeat Fenty?Mysources in the National EducationAssociation say it can’t contributeto Gray. The American Federationfor Teachers can’t match $4 million.

Gray can’t expect much from theAFL-CIO or the public employeesunions. He’ll be lucky to raise sixgures.

Without a crackerjack politicalteam and money, I am afraid Gray will go down, and the city will losea great council chairman. Such ashame.

O ver the past 14 months, our politicaldebate has been transformed into anargumentbetween theheirsof twofun-damentalschoolsof political thought,

theFounders and theProgressives.The Found-ers stood for the expansion of liberty and theProgressivesfor theexpansion of government.

It’s anargumentthathas been goingon for acentury butwas largelydormantover thequar-ter-century of low-ination economic growththat followed the Reagan tax cuts. It’s beenraisedagain by theexpand-governmentpoliciesof the Obama administration and Democraticcongressional leaders.

Those policies, thoroughly in line with theProgressive tradition, have been advanced byliberalelites in government,media,think tanksand academia. The opposition, roughly in line withthe Founders tradition,has been ledby thenon-eliteswho spontaneouslyockedto teapar-tiesand town halls. Republicanpoliticianshave beenscrambling to lead theseprotesters.

The conservative rebellions of the late1970sandmiddle 1990swerefocusedon taxes.Theteapartiers are focusing on the expansion of gov-ernment — andits threatto theindependenceof citizens.

Therstmention oftea partiescamein Feb-ruary 2009 from CNBC’s Rick Santelli on theoorof theChicago Mercantile Exchange, whenhe asked “ if wereally wantto subsidizethe los-ers’ mortgages? How many of you peoplewant

to pay your neighbor’s mortgage, that has anextra bathroomandcan’tpaytheirbills?”Thenhe called fora Chicago teaparty.

This struck a chord. Tea partiers began todress in 18th century costumes — political re-enactors — andbrandishedthe “ Don’t tread onme”ag. Theydeclared their independence byopposing Progressive policies that encouragedependenceon government.

TheProgressiveshave alwaysassumedthatpeople needed safety nets and would welcomedependenceon government.The public’s clearrejectionof theDemocratichealthcare billshasshown that this assumptionwas unwarranted.Americanstoday prefer independence to depen-denceon government,justas they did200yearsago.

Allthis wassupposedto havebeen consignedto the past long ago. The Progressives of theearly 1900s — Presidents Theodore Rooseveltand Woodrow Wilson, New Republic founderHerbert Croly — argued that in an industrialera of mass production and giant businesses,ordinary people were helpless and neededgovernment’s guiding hand. It would be moreefcient, they argued, for centralized, disinter-estedexperts to administernational institutionsthan to let chaotic markets operate freely andto observe the Constitution’s horse-and-buggylimitson governmentpower. TheFounderswereoutof date.

TheProgressives hadtheir way for much of the 20th century. But it became apparent thatcentralized experts weren’t disinterested, butalways sought to expand their power. And it became clear that central planners can neverhavethe kindof informationthat is transmittedinstantly, as Friedrich von Hayek observed, byprice signals in freemarkets.

It turned outthat centralized expertsarenotaswiseand ordinaryAmericansarenot ashelp-lessas theProgressivesthought. By passing thestimulus package and the health care bills theDemocratsproducedexpansion of government.Butvoters seemto preferexpansion of liberty.

TheProgressives’ scorn forthe Foundershasnotbeen shared by thepeople. First-rate booksaboutthe Foundershave beenbest-sellers. Andefforts to dismiss theFoundersas slaveholders,

misogynists or homophobes have been out- weighed by the resonance of their words anddeeds.

The Declaration of Independence’s procla-mation that “ all men are created equal” with“ unalienable rights” to “ life, liberty and thepursuit of happiness” has proved to be happilyelastic. It still sings to us today, thanks to thestrugglesand sacricesof manyAmericanswhogave blacks and women the equality denied tothemin 1776.

Incontrast,the earlyProgressives’ talkof an“ industrial age” andan outmodedConstitutionsoundslikethelanguageof anagenow long past.

Their faith in centralizedplanningseems naiveina timewhenoneunpredictedinnovationafteranotherhaschangedlives forthe better.

Polls and recent election results tell us thatracial minorities and the so-called “ educatedclass” — the people who expect their kind willadminister centralized institutions — still takethe side of the Progressives. Most Americans,however, are rejecting the path of dependenceandare intenton declaring theirindependenceonceagain.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s job approval skidded almost 10 per-centage points after he proposedcutting state funding for schoolsand towns, according to a FairleighDickinson Universitypoll.

Forty-three percent of voters inthe state approved of Christie’s jobperformance,down from52 percenton March 3. Voters holding a favor-ableviewof thegovernor sankto 38percent from 47 percent before hisMarch 16 budgetaddress.

“ It’s a bad time to be governor

of any state,” said Peter Woolley, apolitical scientistand directorof theMadison, N.J.-based poll. “ You’redamned if you cut the budget and

damnedif youraise taxes.”Christie, 47, a Republican who

took ofce Jan. 19, said his $29.3 bil-lion spending plan for the coming

scal year required $10 billion incutsto close a decit withoutraisingtaxes. It would lower school aid by$820 million, municipal funding by

$445million, cut the $1 billion prop-erty taxrebateprogram andskip$3 billion in pensionpayments.

“

Ifyou wantto bea popularpoliti-cian in New Jersey, this is not what you do,” Christie said. “ The situa-tion is not optimal, it’s awful. This isa situationthatwe wereplacedin by20 years of mismanagement. Either you clean it up or you paper over it.I’mchoosing to clean it up.”

A majority of voters, 62 percent,said the state should “ hold the lineon spending even if many programsare reduced,” downfrom 66 percentearlier this month. Asked if prop-erty tax rebate checks should be

suspended, 44 percent said it was agood idea and48 percent saidit wasa badmove.

By JulieMason ExaminerWhite House Correspondent

With much on the line and ashort window to improve his politi-cal standing, President Obama isshedding his trademark cool andaloofdemeanor in favor of a tougher,more assertive pose.

The image makeover is part of a broader White House strategy tocapitalize on the passage of healthcarereform andrebrand Obama asa dynamic leader — an image that

has suffered in the past year of leg-islative and political setbacks.“ The 2008 campaigning Obama

is back,” said Graham Wilson, aBoston University political scientist.“ Certainlythe days of Obama beinga punching bagfor theRepublicansseem to be over.”

Wilson notedthe president’snew,more confrontational stylecoincides with the return of former cam-paign manager David Plouffe intothe administration’s political wing.Plouffe, who recently published a book about the 2008 campaign, isstrategizing the Democrats’ 2010election efforts.

The revised Obama was on dis-play in aninterview withNBC’s MattLauer for the “ Today” show, wherethe presidentcriticized Republicansfor opposing health reform strictlyfor political gain.

“ I think what happened is theymade a calculation, which if youarethinkingin terms of short-term

politics,you cansee theargument,”Obama said. “ Their attitude is,‘Look, if we stop this bill, if we stopthis president here, then that willgive us a lot of political benet inNovember.’ ”

Many Republicans opposed the bill on ideological grounds andcomplained that Obama’s much-hyped efforts at bipartisanship werelargely cosmetic.

His dismissal of Republican crit-ics as part of the larger, corrosiveBeltwaypoliticalcultureis partof astill-new White House strategy for

blaming Washington while trying toposition Obama above the fray.

The news media, which has become more critical of the WhiteHouse, also drew censure fromObama, who complained that jour-nalists focuson politicalextremitiesrather than trying to “ solve prob-lems.”

“ There’s something about thepoliticalculture here in Washingtonthat is a chronic problem,” Obamasaid. “ I haven’t solved it yet.”

Dennis Goldford,a politicalscien-tist at Drake University, described

Obama’s earlier political style as“ based on the notion that we shouldall come and reason together.”

“ Politicsjust isn’t likethat,” Gold-ford said.

During his rst year in ofce,some Democrats and even friendlycolumnists and commentatorsdescribed Obama as isolated,remote and professorial.

Though the November electionsare still seven months away, theadministrationhas to showprogresson several fronts, particularly jobsandthe economy, wellenough aheadof the vote to have an inuence onthe result.

“ The public needs to see a dif-ferent side of him, because the pollnumbers havebeen plummeting fora while,” said Susan MacManus, apolitical scientist at the Universityof South Florida. “ In tough times,people wantto seestrongleadership with soft touch.”

With thepresident of Franceat his side, President Obamadeclared Tuesday he hopes tohave international sanctionsagainst Iran in place “ within weeks,” not months, becauseof its continuing nuclear pro-gram. He acknowledgedhe stilllacks full support at theUnitedNations.

“ Do we have unanimity inthe international community?Not yet,” Obama said. “ Andthat’s something that we haveto work on.”

President Obama hasputthe lastpiece of his health care program inplace and made the U.S. govern-ment the primary lender to collegestudents.

Both domestic prioritiescame inone bill, pushed through by Demo-crats in the House and Senate andsigned into law by at Northern Virginia Community College inAlexandria.

Obama has taken to the road topromote health care in part to helphis party’s chances of holding ontoits majority in both chambers of Congress in elections in November but also to underline his rst majorlegislative success since takingofce 15 months ago.

The new law makes a series of changes to the massive health careoverhaul bill that he signed intolaw with even greater fanfare last week.

Those changes included remov-ing specials deals arranged to wooreluctant Democratic senators into backing the original legislation thathad angered some Americans andmoresubsidiesfor lower-income cit-izens to buy soon-to-be mandatoryhealth insurance. The bill Obamasigned Tuesday also adds newtaxes on earningsfrom investments,incomes of more than $200,000andpostpones a tax on lavish privateinsurance plans that was opposed

by many government workers andlabor unions.

Obamawas effusive in hispraisefor the lawmakers who stood byhim. Many of them face tough sellsin their home districts during springrecessover themassive health carelegislation, a complex mix of crack-downs on the insurance industry,coverage expansions and insurancemandates.

Taken together, the health care bills extend coverage to 32 mil lionuninsured Americans and aim tocrack down on unpopular insur-ance industry practices such as

denying coverage for people withpre-existing medical conditions.Most Americans would now berequired to buy insurance, or facepenalties if they refused. The pack-age is projected to cost $940 billionin the rst decade.

In order to offset some of thecosts from the plan, Democratsadded in a restructuring of the way the government handlesloans affecting millions of collegestudents.

The law ends a federal loan guar-antee program for private banksthat issue student loans and puts

the government in charge. Thepresident said that change wouldsave more than $60 billion overthe next 10 years, which in turn would be used to boost grants forstudents whose families have mod-est incomes.

Some of the savings are intendedto fund college grants for needystudents. Some will go to pay forthe expanded health coverage inthe president’s plan.

LEGISLATION

ByRandolph E. SchmidTheAssociated Press

ThePostalServicemay have provided a clue why it is losing money when it asked regulators — by e-mail — for an opinion on droppingSaturday delivery service.

Plagued by loss of mail businessto the Internet, the post ofce wasrequired to send its request to theindependent Postal RegulatoryCommission electronically.

The commission posted therequest on its Web site late Tues-day afternoon.

The post ofce said last week it would request the opinion on itsplan to drop Saturday deliveriesto homes and businesses to savemoney. Post ofces would remainopen on Saturdays.

Congress would also haveto approve the change, but itis likely to give great weight tothe regulatory commission’sresponse.

“

The ball is in our court now,”said regulatory commission chair-man Ruth Y. Goldway.

She said her agency will seekpubliccommenton theideaand willlook at four specic areas:

» Will thesavings thePostal Ser-

vice anticipates be as signicant asthey estimate?

» Will mail volume decline morethan the Postal Service antici-pates?

» Will businesses and citizens

haveservice thatremains adequateto meet their needs?» And willthe nationaleconomic

impact of service reductions offsetor add to the savings that are pro-posed?

The Postal Service lost $3.8 bil-

lion last year and is headed towarda larger loss this year as people domore business on the Internet andthe recession discourages businessmail.

“ The Postal Service does not

take this change lightly and wouldnot propose it if six-day mail service could be supported by current volumes. There is no longer enoughmail to sustain six days of deliv-ery,” the post ofce said in a reportaccompanying the request.

High court lets judgessettle mutual fund ght

The Supreme Court onTuesday rejected a standardthat investors say would havemade it almost impossible tosue over “ excessive” fees onmutual funds, a popular invest-ment vehicle for millions of Americans.

Even so, the high courtendorsed a standard that has been used once before to throwout this particular lawsuit, whichwas brought by investorsagainsta mutual fundcompanyover excessive fees.

Justice SamuelAlito, writingfor the court in a unanimousdecision, said the 7th U.S.Circuit Court of Appeals inChicago should have appliedthewidelyused standard setbythe case Gartenberg v. MerrillLynch Asset Management.

To face liability underGartenberg, “ an investmentadviser must charge a fee thatis so disproportionately largethat it bears no reasonablerelationship to the servicesrendered and could not have been the product of arm’slength bargaining,” Alito said.

President Obama used his recess-appointment power to place four

former federal lobbyists — repre-senting defense contractors and theagri-chemical industry, amongothers— in toppolicyjobs.Obama’s maneuver dodges a Sen-ate oordebateand sweeps undertheruganinauspicious milestone: The appointment of the 50th lobbyist to a policymaking job by apresident who claims he’s “ excluded” them.

IsiSiddiqui enters theObamaadministrationfromCropLifeAmerica, theD.C.-based lobbyforthe companies who make and sell agriculturalpesticides and herbicides. Siddiqui was a reg-istered lobbyist from 2001 to 2004, and sincethen he has served as the “ vice president for

science and regulatory affairs.” Now, thanksto the recess appointment, he is the top agri-culture ofcial at the Ofce of the U.S. TradeRepresentative.

EricHirschhorn,appointed to theCommerceDepartment, wasa registeredlobbyist at theKStreet rm Winston & Strawn, where his cli-entsincludedmilitary-industrial titanLockheedMartin and fertilizer giant Sun Chemicals.

Michael Punke, another recess appointee, will head off to Geneva to represent the UnitedStates before the World Trade Organization.Previously, at Mayer Brown, he representedagricultural interests and Time Warner. In

2007 and 2008, Punke ran his own boutiquelobbying shop.

Jacqueline Barrien, going to the EqualEmployment Opportunity Commission on arecess appointment, was registered in 2005as a Washington lobbyistfor the NAACP LegalDefenseFund.

These four former lobbyists were amongObama’s 15 recess appointments, which allowthe president to overcome Senate holds andappoint ofcials without a conrmation vote.

It’s importanthereto setthe recordstraightaboutwhata senator’s “ hold”is. A “ hold”cannotprevent conrmation or even block a vote onconrmation — thatrequiresa 41-votelibusterto blockcloture or one-man libusterrightout

of “ Mr. SmithGoes to Washington.” A “ hold” isan objection to the unanimous-consent decree

thatwould allowconrmationwithoutdebate.So,mostof Obama’srecessnominations werenot about circumventing a libuster — laborlawyer CraigBecker was theonlyone of the15 who was beinglibustered. The other14 recessappointments wereefforts to avoid debate anddiscussion. Obama says he just wants to getdown to business. But given Obama’s cleardesire to portray his administration as lobby-ist-free, it’s also good politics to skip a publicoordebate overfour lobbyistappointees.

A oor debate over Siddiqui would have been especiallyawkward for the president.Hisrecordof subsidizing theagri-chemical industry

andusing regulationto protectit yin thefaceof Obama’s supportive words about local andorganicfood. During theClintonadministration, before cashing out to the agri-chemical lobby,Siddiqui advanced a rule prohibiting privateentities fromhavinga stricterlabeling standardfor “ organic” than the USDA’sstandard.

Siddiqui is also a man who has gotten wealthy by monetizing his “ public service” byputting his connections at the service of the very industry he had regulated in the Clintonadministration. Bringing him backinto govern-mentis certainlynot “ closing the revolvingdoor between K Streetand the executive branch,”as

Obama claims he hasdone.The other recess-lobbyists may or may not

be troublingon good-governmentgrounds, butthey do further illustrate the upsetting chasm between the president’swords and his actions.In his State of the Union address, Obamaclaimed “ we have excluded lobbyists frompolicymaking jobs.” Appointing 50 earns hima Pinocchio nose.

Last month,whenI pressed theWhiteHouseon thediscrepancy, I gota Clintonianresponse:“ Asthe presidentsaid, wehaveturnedawaylob- byists for many, many positions.”

So thepresidentis left lamelybragging thatsome of the lobbyists who wanted jobs in hisadministration were rejected.

Given the experience lobbyists bring to a job — and that the biggestthreat of corruptioncomes when people pass from government tothe private sector, not the other way around— there’s something to be said for placing for-mer lobbyists in policy jobs.

Butthere’s also something to be said for thepresident living up to hisword.

BOSTON — School ofcialsin westernMassachusetts didn’t follow all theanti-bullyingadvice theywere givenmonths before a harassedfreshmangirl committed suicide, accordingto a consultant who offered thetips.

Barbara Coloroso said sheconsulted with parents and admin-istrators monthsbefore 15-year-oldPhoebe Prince hanged herself inJanuary.

Authorities say she enduredmonths of verbal assaults andthreats, mostlyin schooland in per-son, although some of the bullyingoccurred on Facebook and in otherelectronic forms.

“ The questions to ask are: Did they follow their own rules and didthey keep Phoebe safe? Obviouslynot. And, did they deal effectively with the bullies? Obviously not,”Coloroso told the Associated PressTuesday.

Ninefellow studentsface chargesin connection with the girl’s death,

including two teen boys charged with statutory rape and a clique of girls chargedwith stalking, criminalharassment and violating Phoebe’scivil rights.

Northwestern District AttorneyElizabeth Scheibel, whoannouncedthecharges Monday, saidthe events

that occurred between SeptemberandPhoebe’s death Jan.14 were “ theculminationof a nearly three-monthcampaign of verbally assaultive behavior and threats of physicalharm.”

Administrators and SchoolCommittee members did not

return calls and e-mails seekingcomment. In a statement, Assis-tant Superintendent ChristineSwelko said “ a small group of stu-dents” was removed from schoolTuesday.

She would not say how many or whether they had been expelled.

Will a national requirement forchain restaurants to post caloriecounts sound the death knell for bacon cheeseburgers and doublechocolate doughnuts?

The calorie-posting mandate,signed into law by PresidentObama as part of the health careoverhaul, assumes diners will feelthe culinary equivalent of stickershock whenconfronted withcaloriecounts for greasy, sugary and fattyfoods.

Anti-obesityadvocatesalso hope

that forcing restaurants to revealcalorie counts will coax the chainsto offer healthier options.

Early studies do showsome mod-est changes in consumer behaviorin New York City, which enactedits pioneering calorie-posting lawin 2008. But whether the measurealso is pushing healthieritemsontomenus is less clear.

While chain restaurants haveintroduced scoresof healthiermenuitems in recent years, most say thechanges are coincidental to calo-rie-posting laws, an effort to keeppace with consumer demand forhealthier items.

Not so for Le Pain Quotidien,a bakery and restaurant chain with more than a dozen locationsin New York City. Olivier Arizzi, brand marketingmanager,said thelaw denitely prompted changes,including making some pastriessmaller to cut calories.

“ It forced us to innovate,” Arizzisaid. “ We would have had certainpastries that were very popular before, not being popular anymore because the calorie count would beso high.”

Arizzi said they did not need tomake changes to their sandwichesand salads.

But other major restaurantchains cited other reasons formenu tweaks, chief among themthe need to satisfy health-consciouscustomers.

Afghanistan has been releasingTaliban ghters captured in Paki-stan and turned over to the Karzaigovernment, creating a growingrift between the neighbors as theystruggle to defeatinsurgents, threesenior Pakistani ofcials said.

Thereleases havemade Pakistanreluctantto turn over some topTal-ibancaptives, the ofcialssaid. TheAfghanistan Embassy declined tocomment on the allegation.

The Washington Examiner reviewed classied Pakistani mili-tary case summaries on roughly1,100 captured or killed Talibaninsurgents and suspected al Qaedaghters.

The reports detailed the returnto Afghanistan upon the request of the Karzai government of dozens

of insurgents. However, upon theirreturn, the classied documentsnotedthat theywere “ releasedbackto theTalibanas bargaining chips innegotiations.”

A typical report detailed thecase of a suspected Taliban namedMaulvi Saeed. He was “ a member[of] Taliban Shura in Kunar, plannerof suicide bombings,” the classiedreport said.

“ Arrested on February 22, 2007,from Peshawar. Handed over to[National Directorate of Security]on 24, December, 2007. He wasreleasedby Afghansecurity ofcials without notifying Pakistan,” a noteattached to Saeed’s report stated.

“ Theydon’t keepus onboardandcontinually release dangerous andsometimehigh-levelTaliban thatwehave captured,” said a senior Paki-stani ofcial, whospoke onconditionthat henot benamed.

“ We handed them over to theAfghan government,” the ofcialsaid. “ Thenthe Afghan governmentreleasesthem to negotiate their ownrelease of those the Taliban has

captured or some other possibleposition that suitsthem.”Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col.

MarkWright saidthe United Statesis aware of the release of somedetainees in Afghanistan but thatU.S. and NATO partners “ carefullymonitor the situation.”

One U.S. ofcial with knowledgeof detainee releases said Americanforces inthe region “ won’t turna blindeyeafter thedetainees arelet go.”

The U.S. ofcial said some sus-pected insurgents captured byAmerican troops have also beenreleasedby the Afghangovernment, but he wouldn’t second-guess themotives of the Afghans. “ What can we do when there is no evidence orif the Afghan government makesthe decision to release them oncethey’re turned over? Our hands aretied,” he said.

The military ofcial said, “ Nor-

mally there are people watching,andwe have variousmeans of tryingto maintain tabs on the detainees who warrant further attention.”

“ Many of those released by Kar-

zai’s government immediately go back to ghting with the Talibanand al Qaeda,” one high-rankingPakistani ofcial said.

In early March, Afghan Presi-dent Hamid Karzai spent two daysinPakistan,where hemadea formalrequest for Pakistan to hand overthe Taliban’s No. 2 leader, MullahAbdul Ghani Baradar, to be tried inAfghanistan.

Karzai has also expressed hisanger over the arrest of Baradar,saying the detention had compli-cated effortsto reach an accordwithsomeTaliban factions.

A Pakistan counterterrorismof-cial told The Washington Examiner that Pakistan would turn Baradarover to Afghanistan, after “ we aredonewith the interrogation.” Buthesaid that his country is “ apprehen-sive that he will be setfree.”

NEWYORK— Signs of lifein consumerspending aresprouting this spring.

Apartialreboundin consumercon-dence, a positive report on Januaryhome prices and an expected strongMarch fromretailerssuggestAmeri-cansare cautiously perkingup.

The Conference Board said Tues-day its Consumer Condence Indexrose to 52.5 in March, recoveringabout half of the nearly 11 points itlost inFebruary. Analystsexpected areading of50 for March,buttheindexis still far belowthe 90readingthat’sconsideredhealthy.

February’s 46.4 marked the low-est level since April 2009 and alsoerased three consecutive months of improvement. In January, the reading was56.5.

Economists watch the guresclosely because consumer spending,including on health care and othermajor expenses, accounts for about70 percent of U.S. economic activityand is critical to a strong economicrecovery.

“ We’rea lotbetteroff,but wehavea lot more improvement to go,” saidMichaelP.Niemira, chiefeconomistattheInternationalCouncilof ShoppingCenters.He saidshoppers have “ more willingnessto spend”andare startingto trade back up in areas wheretheyhadcut back.

Separately, the Standard& Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-cityhomepriceindexshowed prices rose 0.3 percent fromDecember to January, for the eighthconsecutive monthly gain. Amongthe20 citiesin theindex, 12 rose.Butthere’s some worry the momentumin the housing market won’t be sus-tained. Home sales sank during the winter, and government incentives

thathave proppedup the marketareending.

Meanwhile, merchants areexpected to report a 3.5percent gainforMarchwhen theyreleasesalesg-uresnext week,accordingtoNiemira’sestimate, which was upgraded fromhis original 2.5 percent projection.

Thegure is basedon sales atstoresopenat least a year, considereda keyindicator of a retailer’s health.

Retailers reported a 3.7 percentincrease for February, marking the biggest increase since November2007, a month before the recession began.

Pearl S.Buckwas anintenselyprolicauthor, thewinnerof a Pulitzer Prize for her 1931novel, “ TheGood Earth,”and

the rst American woman to win aNobel Prize forliterature. Hertales of peasant life in China, where she wasraised by missionary parents, provided intimate glimpses into a worldthenunknownto mostWesterners.

Today, Buck’s childhood home in

China houses a museum dedicatedto her legacy, while her grave in thePennsylvania countryside bears atombstonewith herChinesename— anodto theculturaldualitythatmarkedthewriter’s life andwork.

In “ Pearl of China,” Anchee Min, whose best-selling memoir “ RedAzalea” recounted the story of herchildhood in communist China, spinsa ctional account of Buck’s early lifein China andher imagined friendship withthe narrator, a youngChinesegirlnamed Willow Yee. The two womenform a spiritual and emotional bondthat resists political turmoil, the vio-lence of civil war, romantic rivalryand,eventually, the distance imposed by communism.

The theme of separation fromhomeland, whether it is one’s home by birth or by heart, permeates thenovel, exemplied by this descriptionof Pearl’s nal days in China: “ She would be uprooted and transplantedtoAmerica, a countryshe called home but barelyknew.Later in her life,thislast dayin China would haunt her.”

The narrative’s most movingmoments come when Min describesthe simple, yet seemingly indestruc-

tible, connection between Pearl andWillow as they grow from childrengleefully waiting forthe popcornmaninto women struggling with unhappymarriagesand personal sorrow.

“ I had known Pearl’s lonelinesssince we were children. She hadalways searched for her own kind.Thatdidn’tmean another Westerner.Itmeantanothersoulthat experienced boththe Eastern andWestern worlds,”Willowseemsto murmurafterPearlis visited by unforeseentragedy.

In those moments, when humanemotions transcendcultural and geo-graphicalborders, MinechoesBuck’stalent for showing compassion andempathy toward her characters, andlike her, reveals the power and dig-nity containedin thelivesof ordinarypeople.

NEW RELEASE‘Raymondv. Raymond’» Artist: Usher» Label:Jive Records» Price:$13.98

By MelanieSims Associated Press Writer

Usher’s latest disc, “ Ray-mond v. Raymond,” is a bit like deja vu.

It has all the elementsof his earlier albums. There’s theless-than-subtle autobiographicalrelationship track — in this case,it’s a song aboutdivorce ( “ Papers”).And in the vein of 2004’s “ Confes-sions,” a woefully apologetic Usherspills the beans about cheating on“ Foolin’ Around.” It opens with him

saying: “ I know I vowed to never dothis again, but it seems to be theonly thing I’m good at.”

While it’s clear he underesti-mates his ability to do better inthe delity department, it seemsthesinger haslimited himself musi-cally as well.

The Jim Jonsin-produced“ There Goes My Baby” is instantlyappealing, but upbeat club tracksincluding “ Lil Freak,” featuring rap“ it” girl Nicki Minaj,and “ She Don’tKnow,” with Ludacris, are catchy but disappo intingly safe choices for

31-year-old Usher.“ So Many Girls” and the will.

i.am-produced “ OMG” border on

disastrous as far as sound andlyrics go. But the real letdown of “ Raymond v. Raymond” is thatthose who listen to it won’t knowanymore about UsherRaymond, asan artist or a man, than they previ-ously did.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT:Withhelp from Jimmy Jam & TerryLewis, Usher says loving him is ano-no on the fun, reggae-inuenced“ Pro Lover.”

NIGHTOUT

By Nancy DunhamSpecialto TheExaminer

The next time you hear the oldsaying “ You can’t go home again,”considerthe SouthMemphisStringBand.

The trio — Luther Dickinson of the BlackCrowes, Grammy Award- winning blues/rock musician Alvin Youngblood Hart and JimboMathusof the Squirrel Nut Zippers — allhail from the same general areainformally known as the Hill Coun-tryof Mississippi. With that sharedgeographycomes a love of thearea’smusic that prompted the trio tofound this new band.

“ We have played on each other’srecords overthe years, but the threeof us had never gotten together toplay blues,” Dickinson said. “ It waselectric. The chemistry was sogreat.”

Whilethe members willcontinuetheir respective primary musi-cal pursuits, the new side projectgives them a chance to play theirown brand of acoustic Mississippi

music born from a love for suchclassic groups as the MississippiSheiks, Memphis Jug Band andGusCannon’s Jug Stompers.

Fans can get a taste of the new band’s pre-blues roots sound rightfrom its MySpace page. The songs— which combine country, folkandgospelwitha heavydose ofthe blues— arefrom theband’s newrelease,

“ HomeSweet Home.”Although the trio knew almost

as soon as it jammed that the newsound was something it wantedto capture and expand, Dickinsoncredited Mathusfor themajority of the songwriting.

“ Oncewe wereworkingtogether,Alvinpulledout a banjoand wetookturnssingingsongs, andit allcame

together,” Dickinson said. “ We havea unique chemistry and like-mind-edness that’s pretty rare.”

Expect the upcoming concert by the three musicians who’ve col-laborated for more than a decadetoreect the down-home attitudes of Mississippi and Memphis, Tenn.

“ We just have a lot of fun playingthebanjo, mandolin andotherinstru-ments,” Dickinson said of classiccountry instrumentation. “ Gettingtoplaywiththese two amazing guys— two of thegreatest [young] bluesplayers out thereis why I dothis.”

South Memphis String Band returns trio to its roots

By Sally Kline ExaminerMovie Critic

“ TheLastSong”is thelaststraw.Forlm critic and discerning movie-goer alike, it’s justtoo much, forcingnot one but two offending popular

entities on us: NicholasSparksandMileyCyrus.It’s bad enough that the reigning

sovereign of schmaltz, best-sellingauthor Sparks, perpetrates anotherfemale-pandering bit of box ofce balderdash less than eight weeksafterhis “ Dear John.”Worse yet, heco-wrote the screenplay for today’stearjerker expressly forMiss Cyrus,turning it into a novelization afterward. (If a Hemingway novel is likea Kobebeefsteak,then a “ noveliza-tion” is the literary equivalent of agreasy truck stop burger. And any-thing by Sparksis thegrease.)

Cyrus as drama queen? Thisextends an alarming trend paved byMandyMooreandHilaryDuff beforeher. Cyrus joins those kiddie-cablesitcom stars who try to transitioninto major motion pictures. Unfor-tunately, shecan’t act herwayoutof theproverbial paper bag. A lack of emotional expressivenessand clas-sic presence — that is hard to hideon a giant silverscreen.

However “ Last Song” may donanciallyfor Disney, as helmed byTV director Julie Anne Robinson,its “ Hannah Montana” cash cow isalmost as unbelievable as the plot-ting.

With Sparks behind it and the

word “ last” in the title, you knowsomeone is going to die. It’s just amatter of who and how insanelymelodramatic the death will be.

Because the movie is aimedat teenage girls, it rst dwells afull hour on banal beach vacationromance. It develops between themisunderstood outsider ingenueRonnie(Cyrus) andperfecthot richguy Will (played by Miley’s real lifeAussie boyfriend LiamHemsworth).Then, almost as an afterthought, asubplot involving a church re isresolved and then someone getsceremoniously killed off.

The potential victims includeRonnie’s estranged musical com-poser father (Greg Kinnear), herunderstanding mother (Kelly Pres-ton),her stereotypically precocious10-year-old brother (young BobbyColeman in the only unaffectedperformance), and an assortmentof antagonistic adolescent peers who serve merely as thinly drawn

story devices.What’s a little domestic abuse of

a secondary character, accidentalpyromania and sanitized sudden-onset cancer mortality when a cutecouple gets to overcome obstacles

to be together? It’s hard to decide what’s most absurd: That a pro- vincial pop singer plays a classicalpianist protagonist who reads Tol-stoy for fun or that kids will pay tosee her doit.

Weak premise makes ‘Last Song’ the last lm you’ll want to see

Lentilsare a hottopic amonggourmets these days, withrecipes for thempoppingupin most major food maga-

zines.Lentil andother legume farmers

hope to capitalize on this interestand persuade consumers and foodproducers to use them in breadsand cookies as well as the moretraditional soups and stews. To dothis, they’ve formed a new market-ingventureaimed at promotingthehealth and other benets of lentils,drypeas,garbanzobeans andotherso-called “ pulse” crops.

“ They’re barking up the righttree,” said Brad Barnes, associatedean of culinary education at theCulinary Institute of America.

Growing interest in Indian andother international cuisines, along with greater awareness of intoler-ance to gluten, a protein found inmany grains, has fostered an inter-est in lentils and legumes, Barnes

and others said. A general pushtoward eating healthier also hasmade high-ber, high-protein, low-fat legumes more appealing, saidTina Ujlaki, executive food editorat Food and Wine magazine.

“ I think a lot ofpeople are tryingtomovemeat tothe side ofthe plate

ratherthan thecenterof theplate,”Ujlaki said. “ More peopleare tryinglegumes, vegetables. Also, peopleare trying to cut costs, and theseingredients are not that expensive.

“ There’s big bank for your buckmoneywise and healthwise.”

Theinterest comesat a good timefor farmers, whohaveseen produc-tion oflentils anddry peasrebound

after drought ravaged the crop in2008 inthe toptwoproducingstatesof NorthDakota andMontana. TheU.S. had record cropslast year, pro-ducing1.7 billion poundsof drypeasand 590 million pounds of lentils,

according to the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture.

Right now, mostof the market forthetwo crops is overseas,with two-thirds or more of U.S.-grown peasand lentils being exported, saidEricBartsch, general manager of Bis-marck-basedUnited Pulse TradingInc. Much of the demand has beenin drought-riddenareas of India and

other partsof South Asiaas wellasTurkey.“ Demand in the U.S. is still not

huge, butit is growing,”he said. “ Weseeit asdenitely becoming a majorpart of our markets in the future.”

WE D NE S DAY , MA R C H 3 1 ,2 0 1 0


EDUCATION

Last week’s column looked atJamie Oliver and MichelleObama as two high-proleschool lunch reformers:

Obama through her Let’s Move ini-tiative, and Oliver through his “ FoodRevolution” television series. Bothare interested in educating familiesin nutrition as well as improving thecontentof school food.Most reactionsto their efforts include the observa-tion “ It’s about time!”

But there are huge barriers toa wholesale conversion of “ nasty”school food to something colorfuland fresh. The U.S. Department of Agricu lture has strict guidelinesrequiring particular food groupsand calories for every breakfastandlunch served. The cost restrictionsare almost prohibitive to servingfresh food as well. There’s an ironyto thefactthatprocessed food, han-dled by many and containing longlists of unpronounceable ingredi-ents, is much less expensive thansingle, fresh ingredients, handled by few.

Obama understandsthe longoddsin confronting nutrition in schoolsand supports the bill in the Senate

establishing healthierguidelines for

school meals and additional moneyto provide more fresh food. Presi-dent Obama originally asked for$14.5 billionover 10 years to improvethequality of schoolfood, but$10 bil-lion wascut from thebill.Evenwithreduced funding, the bill will allowmorepositive changethan hastakenplace in cafeterias for decades.

Those cafeterias are in need of change. Oliver’s eye-opening series,“ Food Revolution,” visited a West Virginia classroom in the last epi-sode, and not one child recognizeda freshvegetable — including toma-toes and potatoes. They weren’tunintelligent — theyhad learnedthenames of all of them by his second visit — but whole, fresh vegetables weren’t foods theyhad seen in eithertheir home or schoolkitchens.

TheUSDA adds to the obstacles.

Itscaloric allowance forhigh schoollunches is an unhealthy 843 — anumber thatcould bemodiedif theSenatebill is made law. But limitingthe salutary effects of the bill is themeager6-cent increase in per-pupilmealallowance— from$2.68 to$2.74.That will not allow cafeteria work-ers to incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables into their menus — theheart of both Michelle Obama’s andOliver’s recommendations. Frozenfrenchfriesmayhaveto stay on themenuas a “ vegetable,” to keep downcosts.

Parents are on board with thefood revolution, even if cafeteria workers are reluctant to put asidetheir microwaves and chicken nug-gets. Part of Oliver’swinningformulafor change in school eating habitsis community outreach, includingcooking lessons. A moving momentin last week’s show involved Justin,

an obese 12-year-old, who is bulliedin school. Oliver taught Justinto puttogether a chicken, vegetable andnoodle stir-fry, and rustle it up withstyle.You could seethe boy’s pride inthenisheddish;he waseven stand-ing up straighter by the end of thelesson.

Cooking is cool, fun and trendy,

and it’s no harder to create beauti-ful, healthy meals than it is to createlife-shortening meals. It is, however,more expensive. If America gets on board with these healthier changesfor our children, how will we makeupthe costshortfall?More on that in

next week’s column. EricaJacobs, whose column appearsWednesday, teachesat GeorgeMason

Russia wants its formersuperpower status back

Re: “ Obama’s perverse foreign policy,” March28

Veteran Russia expert Ste-phen Sestanovich is correct thatdeep mistrust remains betweenthe United States and Russia. Yet American ofcials were sur-prisedat thedifculty incraftingareplacement treaty with the Rus-sians to mutually slash nucleararsenals.

This should have been no sur-prise to theU.S. Along with China,Russia has given money andtechnology to Iranian PresidentMahmoud Ahmadinejad’s nuclear weapons development programfor years.

Since thefall of theSovietUnion,Russia has chafed at its regionalpower status and seeks a routeto restore its superpower status.Investing in Ahmadinejad’s hege-monicscheme tocontrol theMiddleEast, Russia hopes to align withIran andcreate a vast empire.

So Russia craftily agrees to

Obama’s nonproliferation treaty while ramping up Iran’s nuclear weapons program. History willrecord President Obama’s rap-prochementeffortswithRussiaasappeasement with Iran.

Last thing weneedis Fannie, Freddie reform

Re: “ Reform Fannie and Freddie — now!”March 25

It is refreshing to read the Examiner ’s analysis of the majorrole government-sponsored enti-ties Fannie Mae and Freddie Macplayed in the economic meltdown,andthe government intrusion thatcaused it. Indeed, Clinton admin-istration ofcials Andrew CuomoandJanetRenopushedFannie and

Freddie to lower lending standardsandthreatened privatebanksandmortgage lenders to do the same.

Thus, the affordable-housing bubble began for those who couldnotaffordmortgages,supportedbyirresponsible congressionalbank-ing committee members such asBarney Frank, Chris Dodd andChuckSchumer. The combinationincreased the GSEs’ government- backed mortgage holdings to $5.4

trillion (46percent ofall residentialmortgagedebt), whichencouragedthe risktaking on Wall Street andcausedthe bubble to burst.

Now that the damage is done,the government wants to reformFannie and Freddie or replacethem with something else. Stopright there! Government reformprograms are killing us economi-cally, and it wants to do more of them?

Surely, the failure of PresidentObama’s $75 billion Home Afford-

able Modication Program to aid8 million people having troublemaking payments is another of many redags. Because ofmassive bureaucratic confusion and delay,HAMP has only helped 169,000homeowners.No thanks!

When ancient fossils of creatures that live onthe ocean oor have been found in rock

formations at the summit of MountEverest, that ought to give us a cluethat big changes in the Earth arenothing new, and that huge changeshave beengoing onlongbeforehuman beings appearedon thescene.

The recent statement that theEarthwaswarmer inthe MiddleAges

than it is today, made by the climatescientist who is at the heart of therecent scandal about “ global warm-ing” statistics, ought to at least givepause to those who are determinedto believethathumanbeingsmustbethe reason for “ climatechange.”

Other climate scientists havepointed out before now that theEarth has warmed andcooled manytimes over the centuries. Contraryto the impression created in muchof the media and in politics, no onehas deniedthat temperatureschange,sometimes more thantheyarechang-ing today.

Three yearsago, a book by SingerandAvery was publishedwith a titlethat says it all: “ Unstoppable GlobalWarming: Every 1500 Years.”

Contrary to clever political spinthat likened those who refused to join the “ global warming” hysteriato peoplewho denied the Holocaust,no one denied that climates change.Indeed, someof theclimatescientists who have been the biggest critics of the current hysteria have pointedout that climates had changed backand forth long before human beingscreated industrial societies or drovesportutility vehicles.

It is those whohavebeen pushingthe hysteria who have been playingfastand loosewith the facts,wanting

to keep crucial data from becom-ing public, and even “ losing” someof that data that supposedly provedthe most dire consequences. It hasnot been facts but computer modelsat the heart of the “ global warming”crusade.

Nothing is easier than coming up with computer models that provealmost anything. Back during the1970s, there were computer mod-els predicting mass starvation and

global cooling. The utter failure of those predictions ought to make usat leastskepticalof computermodels,especially computer modelsbased ondatathatadvocateswantto keep frompublic viewor “ lose”when investiga-tors start closing in.

Onclimate issues,as onmanyotherissues, the biggest argument of theLeft has been that there is no argu-ment. The word “ science” has beenused as a magic mantra to shut upcritics, even when those critics have been scientists with internationalreputations as specialists in climatescience.

Stealing the aura of science forpoliticalpurposes is nothing new forthe Left. Karl Marx called his brandof Utopianism “ scientic socialism.”Even earlier, in the 18th century, theMarquis de Condorcet referred to“ engineering” society. In the 20thcentury, H.G. Wells referred to thecreationof a lasting peaceas a heavyand complex “ piece of mental engi-neering.”

Genuine science is theoppositeof dogmatism, but that does not keepdogmatists from invoking the nameof science inorderto shut offdebate.

Scienceis a methodof analysis, ratherthan simplya setof conclusions.

Infact, much ofthe history of sci-ence is a historyofhavingto abandontheprevailingconclusionsamong sci-entistsin lightofnew evidenceor newmethods of analysis.

When the scientists in England who were promoting “ global warm-ing” hysteria sent e-mails out tocolleagues,urgingthem notto revealcertain data and not to let the fact

become widely known that there was a freedom-of-information act inBritain,theywere behavinglikepoliti-cians, rather thanscientists.

The huge political, nancial andideological investment of many indi- vidualsand institutions in the “ global warming”hysteriamakesit virtuallyimpossible for many of the climatecrusaders to gamble it all on a rollof the dice, which is what empirical vericationis. It is farsaferto dogma-tizeand to demonize thosewho thinkotherwise.

Educators who turn schools intoindoctrination centers have beengoingallout to propagandize a wholegeneration with Al Gore’s movie “ AnInconvenientTruth” — whichhas infact carried a message that hasbeen very convenient for Gore nancially,producingmillions ofdollarsfromhis“ green”activities.

What happened to the victorylap Obama wassupposedto be taking?What happened to the

spike in the polls for both him andforhealth care,for hisacclamation as being a man who could govern, andhis party, as being able to lead?

What happened to being allowedto “ move on,” once health care wasdone with? What happened to hiscoronation — as some bloggers hadit — to being our cooler and newFDR?

Well, therewas a smallspikein theratings, but it came from his base, which now “ strongly approves” asopposed to being indifferent, butthe independents whoturned againsthim last summer are angry and notturningback.

Heand healthcareare still under- water, and the ratings forhealth careitself are abysmal. He is bleedingamong themiddleclassthat electedhim, andthat thehealthcarebill had been drawn to win over.

Outsidehis base,he polls less likeFDR than like FDR Jr. He is tiedfor re-election with an unnamedRepublican, and 54 percent of pollrespondents think he won’t make it.

Far from being cowed, his oppo-nents are pumped, and the publicsupports them. A CBS poll says 62percentof respondentswantRepub-licans to goon ghtingthe measure.A Rasmussen poll says 55 percent want the act repealed altogether. It wasn’t supposed to work out in thismanner. But work out in this man-ner ithas.

To see why, let’s amble downmemory lane, to the autumn of 1973. Under siege and suspicion forillegal activities, Richard M. Nixon was asked to turn overhis infamoustapes to the Ervin Committee andArchibald Cox.

Nixon offered a written synopsis, which he would, of course, edit. Cox

refused.Nixondecidedthe onlywayout of his quandary was ring Cox.He did (after two attorneys generalresigned indeance) andquitejustlycooked his career.

It wasn’t illegal, butit wasillegiti-mate, in that it violated the sense of the law, the spirit of justice and thesenseof proprietythat holdsculturestogether. Nixon was toast, and Rob-ert Bork, who red Cox in the spiritof duty, was tainted forever. Peopleunmoved by TedKennedy’s rantingscould notovercome their aversion tothat.

The passage of health care is notthe same thing as obstruction of justice, but it has a connection, innatureand kind. BeforeScottBrownappeared, the bill, while unpopular, was headed on a legitimate path toenactment, by passing the Houseand the Senate, and going into aconference committee, after whichtherevised versionwould be sentfornal afrmation to the Senate andHouse.

After Brown, this couldn’t occuras the Senate would kill it, so it had

to sneak by — against the popular will and by bribes, threats and buy-offs — through a loophole for which billsof thisimport werenot intended.Big bills aren’t supposed to squeak by on a simple majority, and underproperprocedure,it would nothavehappened.

It followed the law, while it shat-tered its intent. The whole countryknows it’s a fraud.

As a result, it’s a “ law” that thecountry feels little respect for andfeels morally free to resist. It is alaw with an asterisk, a law with astench, a law few regard as conclu-sive or binding.

Spit on the law and the public,and the public will seek ways to uselaw to deny you. This re will burna long time.

DIRTY MONEY WATCH

Sarah Palin targetedDemocrats who voted for the bill with an image of gun-

sight cross hairs. Rush Limbaughpledged to ‘defeat these bastards.’One Republican shouted ‘babykiller!’ on the House oor. I defenddissentwitheveryber of mybeing, but these rants have gone way overthe top. They’re dangerous.”

This message, part of a fund-raising pitch, is the Democrats’new attempt to paint political dis-senters as violent yahoos. But thismessage is special: It comes froman apparently changed Sen. JohnKerry, D-Mass.

Having belonged to an anti-Viet-nam War group whose membersonce discussed assassinating U.S.senators (for the record, he wasagainst that), Kerry must haveheard the words “ baby killer”

tossed about liberally to describeour soldiers. Today, he can no lon-ger bear to hear it.

The grizzled war vet is now sucha gentle soul that any episode of “ South Park” where they kill Kenny( “ You bastards!”) will apparentlyreduce him to tears. So does the violent idea of “ targeted” Houseraces.

In 2006, before he became sucha sissy, Kerry was asked whetherhe couldn’t have “ killed two birds with one stone” by visiting New

Hampshire. He responded with amild joke about assassinating thepresident: “ I could have gone to1600 Pennsylvania and killed thereal bird with one stone.”

Duringhis 2004 campaign, Kerrysaid: “ What we need now is not justa regime change in Saddam Hus-sein and Iraq, but we need a regimechange in the United States.”

The old Kerry’s tough wordsdidn’t bother me, even if they didcompare assassination and the violent overthrow of foreign gov-

ernments with his vain hopes of defeating President Bush. But what would li berals be saying nowif Republicans spoke thus about“ regime change” and “ killing one bird” with respect to the Obamaadministration?

Would these not become newexamples for Keith Olbermann tohighlight, of why conservative dis-sent is not valid political speech, but rather an inherent incitementto violence and hatred?

Kerry’s overheated political

rhetoric should offend no one. Ourpolitical lexicon consists almostentirely of references to war.

We talk about “ battlegroundstates” and “ attacks,” “ trenches,”“ blitzes,” “ war rooms,” “ show-downs,” “ target-rich environments”and “ restorms.” Even the word“ campaign” is a term of warfare.

We watch political televisionshows with names like “ Cross-re,” “ Frontline,” “ Hardre” and“ The Firing Line.” “ The SituationRoom” mildly implies warfare, whereas more direct referencescome in politics with candidates who “ blast” one another, commit

“ political suicide,” and engagein the sor t of “ murder-suicideattacks” that make Kerry’s 2004nomination possible.

Every stump speech threatens violence in some subtle way, as when President Obama promised

to“

ght” 19 times in one speech,and as his remark from the 2008campaign should suggest: “ If they bring a knife to the ght, we bringa gun.”

That’s not a big deal for me.Nor was Obama’s incitement tofollowers to confront their McCain-supporting neighbors — “ I want you to argue with them and get intheir face.”

But congressional Democrats,as they cast standard politicalrhetoric as if it were violent in

order to raise money, are not justpracticing hypocrisy. They are alsocounting on you not to understandthe difference between the right-ful anger that accompanies politicaldissent, and the nut jobs who actu-ally threaten their congressmenor commit violence against publicofcials.

Theirattemptto conate thetwo,and to connect the two, is really anattack on the idea of political dis-sent and the First Amendment tothe Constitution. Kerry believes

dissent is patriotic, but only whenhe’s the one dissenting.

Suddenly, dissent is

violence, not patriotism

After spending $400 mil-lion to elect PresidentObama and expand theDemocratic majorities

controlling Congress, Big Laborunions now nd they have nearlyunprecedented access to lawmak-ers at both ends of PennsylvaniaAvenue.

In fact, representatives of thepowerful ServiceEmployees Inter-national Unionare in the WhiteHouse everyday. Accordingto White House visitor logs, SEIUPresident AndyStern was thesecond most fre-quentindividual visitor to the WhiteHouse in 2009, with 36 visits.

Stern’sright-hand woman, SEIUTreasurerAnnaBurger — aka “ theQueen of Labor”— was rst with39 forays into the

White House to visit with Obamaand other senioradministrat ionofcials.

Some critics would argue thatgiving such openaccess to specialinterests seeking favors ought to be criminal — and in Stern’s case itmight even be. Stern is not a regis-tered lobbyist, and there’s an opencriminal investigation with the U.S.

Attorney’s Ofce into whether he’sillegally lobbying the White House.Union bosses like Stern aren’tknown to be fond of having tea inthe Red Room.

But the SEIU’s inuence in theWhite House extends far beyondfrequent visits. During the 2008presidential campaign, Obama fre-quently railed againstthe perniciousinuence of lobbyists, saying, “ Lob- byists won’t nd a job in my WhiteHouse.”

Somehow, SEIU’s Patrick Gas-

pard slipped through the cracks.Until becoming Obama’s White

House political director, Gaspard was one of the SEIU’s top lobbyists.Hispredecessor in theWhiteHouseslot was Karl Rove, known as “ thearchitect” of President George W.Bush’s two election victories.

The SEIU isn’t the only union with heavy swayat the White House.

Richard Trumka, president of theAFL-CIO, has visited the WhiteHouseat least14 times,accordingtoWhiteHousevisitor logs. Recently, it was reported that the White Housecalled Trumka in for an emergencyMarch 17 meeting that turned outto be critical to gaining passing of Obamacare.

Desperate for votes for the con-troversialproposal, Obama neededTrumka to sign off on a new provi-sion in thelegislation. Sure enough,the next day the Congressional

Budget Ofce score came in, andanalysts soon found that unionshad been well taken care of in thelegislation.

A proposed excise tax on expen-sive health insurance or so-called“ Cadillac plans” threatened to hitunion members hard, especiallyofcers like Trumka who usuallyhave top-grade, union-paid health benet plans.

But in the nal version of health

care reform legislation, the thresh-oldfor when thetax took effecthad been signicantly raised. Further,the tax’s effective date was pushed back to 2018, leaving plenty of timefor Democrats in Congress to ndnew ways to make unions exempt.

Theday after Trumka’s visit,andnot coincidentally, the AssociatedPress reported that “ the nation’slargest labor federation is stronglyendorsing the Obama administra-tion’s health care overhaul bill andplans to push wavering lawmakersfor support.”

And there’s no sign that unioninuencewill waneas longas Obamais in the Oval Ofce. Though it wasdecried by the Left, the SupremeCourt’s recent Citizens United v.FEC campaign nance decisiongives unions free rein to spendunlimited amounts of money andother resources in congressionaland presidential elections.

The AFL-CIO imposes feeson members to pay for politicalspending as it sees t. And even

though the SEIU has a danger-ously unfunded pension plan, theunion has $94,578,779 in outstand-ing loans with Bank of America— much of that borrowed moneyused to nance political activities.Ifyou runa business,goodluckget-ting away with spending money onpolitical causes in such a coerciveor reckless fashion.

All this access may not comecheap, but fortunately for them,unions are awfully good at persuad-ing Democrats to make the rest of

America pay for their bennies inthe end.

Thursday: Alwayslookfor theunionagenda.

In his bill to x nancial regula-tions,Sen. ChrisDodd,D-Conn., would task a new agency, theFinancial Stability Oversight

Council, to “ respond to emergingthreats to the stability of the UnitedStates nancial markets.” Butregulators had a decade to ferretout investment manager BernardMadoff’sblatantfraud— andfailed.A bureaucracycreatedto exposesubtlerdangers willfail,too.

The Securities and ExchangeCommission has a straightforwardmandate: to protect investors. Yet itmissed multipleopportunitiesto pro-tectinvestors fromMadoffbeforehestole $65billion.(Madoff confessed hisPonzischemein December 2008.)

HarryMarkopolos, a Boston-basedquantitative analyst, learned aboutMadoff early onfromhis colleaguesatan investmentrm.They wanted himtond Madoff’ssecret— andreplicateit. Markopolos learned, though, that

thesecretwas fraud.Markopolosrelatesin hisnew book,“ NoOne WouldListen” thatMadoff’sstrategy “ couldn’tproducethe returnsMadoff was delivering. His basket of stockshadto havea reasonable math-ematical correlation to the exchangeonwhich thestockswere traded,andtheydid not.”

Madoff’s method required him to buytens of billionsof dollarsof nan-cial instruments regularly — butdealers in those securities never did businesswith him.

Starting in 2000, Markopolos brought his ndings to the SEC. Hesubmitted a 2005 report under thefollowing title: “ The World’s LargestHedgeFundIs a Fraud.” Markopoloslisted 26 “ red ags,” from the math-ematical to themundane.

Why didn’t the SEC act? Turf warfare: Markopolosbrought his ini-tial ndings to the Boston ofce. ButMadoff was in New York — and theNewYork ofce didn’t want Boston’sscraps.Too manylawyers: “ theywere

expecting me to provide legal proof.”And personalities: Meaghan Cheung,one of Markopolos’ SEC contacts,“ didn’t like me,” he writes.

Madoff was powerful, and there wouldn’t be much of a reward for amidlevel government ofcial whofought that power and lost. “ BernieMadoffwasthe ultimateinsider; I wasthebothersome outsider,”Markopolosconcludes.

Markopolos notes that a “ margin-allycompetent fundmanager shouldhave said thank you very much, Mr.Madoff, butno thanks,and runas fastas possiblein theother direction,” he writes.

But those managers easily dis-missed any skepticism. “ Investorsaround the world believed that [theSEC]offeredthem a great level ofpro-tectionand thattheirmoney wassafe.… TheSECseal of approvalwas mis-leadingand actuallyvery dangerous.”The SEC helped disarm some inves-

torsof an invaluabletool: disbelief.The SEC didn’t prevent Madoff — and Dodd’s FSOC cannot preventthe next nancial crisis. Just as theSEC dismissed Markopolos, insiderslong dismissed early housing-bubblenaysayers as kooky, dumb or consti-tutionalcomplainers.

Meanwhile, market participants will gure that the FSOC is on the job— anddiscount theirowndoubts.Washington would do better toimproveexisting bureaucracies.

Politicians can do that only by

acknowledging the limits of regula-tion. Regulators cannot predict theabstract future. Instead, they shouldenforce concrete rules in the present— like borrowing limits and require-ments to disclose trade information— to lessen the effect of inevitablefuturecrises.

Could a new federal agency

catch the next Madoff?

Capitals goalie Jose Theodore had 26 saves on 31 shots in Washington’s 5-4 overtime loss to Ottawa on Tuesday night.

OttawaforwardSpezzahas four points in winBy Brian McNally ExaminerStaff Writer

The response mustbe measured.The Capitals, after all, are still the best team in the NHL by a goodmargin.

But for the second March in arow, Washington isn’t playing likeit.Turnovers in bad spots. Defensive breakdowns. Sub-par goaltending.Ithas allbeenon displaythe last twogames, including a 5-4 overtimelosson Tuesday night to theOttawaSen-ators before another sellout crowdat Verizon Center.

Alexander Semin scored twogoals in a game for the 11th time

thisseason, defensemanMike Greennotched No. 18 and rookie MathieuPerreault — justrecalledfrom AHLHershey over theweekend— addedhis second goal in as many games.

But an early hole was again too

much to overcome for Washington(49-15-12, 110 points), which is win-less in its last three games.

Ottawa forward Jason Spezzanished with a game-high fourpoints, including a rst-period goalthat helpedliftthe Senators to a 3-1lead.And with just 18.9 seconds left

in overtime, Ottawa forward AlexKovalev knocked the game-winnerpastCaps goalie Jose Theodore(26saves, 31shots)on a pass from team-mate ErikKarlsson. It wasKovalev’srst point since the Olympic break

ended on March 2 — a span of 12games.

Washington has now been out-scored 9-1 over the last three rstperiods in games against Ottawa,Calgary and Carolina and seven of thosegoals havecomein therst10minutes, 34 seconds of play.

The Caps managed just 14 shotsthrough two periods. But they alsoentered thethirdtied atthreeaftera breakaway goal by Semin — hissecondof thegame — andanother by Green on the power play just 54seconds later.

That set the stage for Perreault, who scored his second goal in asmany games. This time he won theoffensive-zone faceoff and drovethenet, receivinga pass from team-mate Eric Fehr. Perreault had justenough room to roof a shot past

Ottawa goalie Brian Elliott (17saves, 21 shots) for the go-aheadscore.

Spezza tied it again at 5:13 of thethird period with his second goal.

Guard nally pain free 16 monthsaftersurgeryByJohn RabyTheAssociated Press

MORGANTOWN, W.VA. – The gruelingdailyworkouts to strengthen a sur-gically repaired left shoulder nowseem worth it for West Virginia’sJoe Mazzulla.

Nearly 16 months later, the injuryis healed and he’s nally pain free.

His timing couldn’t be better.With Darryl “ Truck” Bryant out

with a broken foot, Mazzulla is theonly healthy point guardon theros-ter and giving the Mountaineers aneeded boost entering their rstFinal Four trip in 51 years.

“ It’s feelinggreat now,”Mazzullasaid Tuesday. “ It was a very longroad, physically and mentally.”

Mazzulla is not onlyfeeling great,he is playing great.

A backup averaging only 15 min-utes a game and a little more thantwo points this season, Mazzulla was the unlikely East RegionalMVP.Startinghis rstgamesince Decem- ber 2008, he scored a career-high17pointsin a 73-66 winover Kentuckyin the East Regional nal to set upa Final Four showdown Saturdaynight with Duke in Indianapolis.

“ He’s just now getting healthy,”West Virginia coach Bob Hugginssaid. “ Whathe went through,I don’t

thinkhe knew — certainlywe didn’tknow— ifhe’d everplayagain. Andto go through two hours of rehabeveryday and not knowing if you’reever going to play again is hard.

“ He’s just gotten progressively

healthier. And right now he’s prob-ably shooting the ball as well asanybody we have.”

Mazzullamissed most of the2008-09 season afterundergoingsurgery.He was so determined to playthroughthe painthat during theoff-season theleft-handedjuniortaughthimselfto shoot right handed.

“ Last year I didn’t have anyotheroption,” Mazzulla said. “ I hadto buckle down and do it. It was amatter of telling yourself you cando anything.”

Earlier this season he wasinsertedinto gamesstill to help outdefensively. Onthe other endof thecourt,his shot just wasn’t thereandat times he tossed up air balls.

“ I was very limited,” Mazzullasaid. “ I accepted my role as just being strictly a defensive player.”

As his shoulder got stronger,Mazzulla progressedfrom 50 shotsperdayto 75, thento 100. Hestartedusing hisleft handagain. Buthis roleremained thesame— a contributoroff the bench.

“ He playedtwo-thirdsof theyear with one arm,” Huggins said. “ Buthejustwanted tobe a partof thingsand I wanted to play him just so hecould be a part of things.”

Mazzulla’s heroics against Ken-tucky seemed familiar to Dukecoach Mike Krzyzewski.

Itwas twoyears ago that Mazzullahelpedknock Duke outof theNCAATournament in the second round.Krzyzewski doesn’t remember muchabout the game,but he didn’t forgetthe 6-foot-2 Mazzulla, who scored13 points and set career highs with11 rebounds and eight assists in theMountaineers’73-67 win.

“ He had a phenomenal perfor-mance against us a couple of yearsago, almost a triple double,” Krzyze- wski said. “ They were goodthenandthey’re really good now. Mazzulla Ithinkis just oneof thosereallytoughcompetitors.He’s awinner. He’sgoingtoght you and I think asa resultof that, hisskill level isn’t givenenoughcredit.He’sa goodbasketballplayerin addition to being those things.”

Opinions from around the nation on the hottest topics in sports: » They have clear choices now. Onesafe (keep [Donovan] McNabb,attempt a nal Super Bowl run andlet him walk after the season), theother risky (commit toKevin Kolband the new-era Eagles). The safeplay has been tried many timesover. The risky play, if nothing else,is a new strategy — somethingsorely needed after 11 seasons ofthe same disappointing results.– John GonzalezsayskeepingMcNabbmightbe a biggergamblethantrading

» He sounds strangely like thefootball coach that claims he hastwo starting quarterbacks whileactually confessing that he hasnone. The Dodgers indeed have thekind of starting pitching depth thatmost teams would covet. But asthey’ve learned in consecutive Oc-tobers, champions ride through thepostseason on the back of one, and I

can almost guarantee that [Vicente]Padilla will not be that one.– Bill Plaschkewritesthat thelackof

anace will doom theDodgers.(LosAngelesTimes)

» The more I hear aboutBenRoethlisberger and the immensedistraction of the sexual-assaultallegation the more I think theSteelers have to plan for life withoutRoethlisberger this year, just in case.And I don’t mean justCharlie Batchand Dennis Dixon.

COLUMN INCHES

This istakingthingsa bittoofar. Then again, we’re talkingabout a city that hasn’t won atitle since 1964. So maybe thissort of desperation is under-standable.

Regardless, native Cleve-lander Brandon George hasstarted a Web site calledinlebronwetrust.com — in which he announces 23 thingshe’s willing to do to keep the

NBA superstar with his home-town Cavaliers.

He can already cross off No.1: hot wax his chest.

No. 2? Watch a 23-hourKAZAAM movie marathon

(featuring James’ teammateShaquilleO’Neal).“ If I can endure that I can

endure anything,” he toldESPN.Thelist is subject to change.

But among our favorites is No.

8: “ Brush myteethfor onemin-ute with Dave’s Insanity HotSauce.”

He wants someone whocould“ shave LeBron’s face into myhead.” Heand a friendaregoing

toeat an11-poundpizza. And hepromises to doa belly opfromthe high dive.

We hate to see what he’ll doif James leaves.

– John Keim

What would a Clevelander do to keep LeBron?

Apparently, landing in Pittsburgh causedLastingsMilledgeto doa littlethinking. Andhe thought he needed to change.

Guess the problems he ran into withWashington, getting demoted to AAA lastApril andthe fact that he hadalreadybeentraded once hadn’t causedsuch introspec-tion.But goingto thePirates hasdonethat.How nice.

“ It’s kind of changed my life a little bit, changed the way I carry myself andchanged the way I go about my business,”Milledge told Pirate beat reporters. “ Iknew I really had to buckle down and justoverall be a better person, and it’s just jump-started my career.”

Milledgewas toutedas a ve-toolplayerlong ago. But he hasn’t done much to liveup to the hype. However, in Pittsburgh heraised his average from .167 to .279 withfourhomers and20 RBIin 220at-bats. NotAll-Star material,but a start. Of course,theNats are better off with Nyjer Morganthananother headache such as Milledge. LetPittsburgh see if he’s really changed.

“ It feels so good to be looked at as a dif-ferent person. I had my [negative] articles,I hadmy downfalls,” hesaid. “ Butit’s just so

good forpeople to look at Lastings Milledgeas me. It’s just a relief for me because myfamily and my friends know who I am, soit’s just a relief that people look at you for you and not make any speculation.”

Pirates outelder Lastings Milledge says hechanged his life and the way he carries himself.

Michigan State has made six FinalFoursin thepast 12 years under TomIzzo. Enoughsaid. They’reamong theelite programs.But howdid they get

there?Michigan State’s talent pool has been dras-

tically different during the Spartans’ nationalseminal runs. Michigan State made threestraight Final Fours from1999-2001 withfourdifferent players being named to All-Ameri-can teams — Mateen Cleaves (1998-2000),Morris Peterson (2000), Charlie Bell (2001)and Jason Richardson (2001). So it would be easy to say that MichiganState had themore talented team almost every time itstepped on the oor.

But Michigan Statehasn’t hadan All-Ameri-can since 2001 and theSpartans still madethree Final Fours(2005, 2009, 2010).So what has beenthe key to Izzo’s lat-est successwithouthaving college basketball’s mosttalented players?

In their threemostrecent FinalFour seasons, theSpartans have hadat least ve players aver-age more than eightpoints a game — noneexceeded 14.8points.

The balancedscor-ing made it possible

for Michigan State to make this year’s tourna-mentrun despite losing leadingscorer KalinLucasin thersthalfof thesecond-round game againstMaryland.

Nowimagineif Gordon Hayward, Da’SeanButleror Jon Scheyer were injured during this year’sNCAATournament. CouldButler, West Virginia

orDukeloseitstop scorerand still reachIndianapolis?

Michigan State is alsoa rst-raterebounding team andhas been for years. The Spartans led the BigTeninrebound margin — bya lot — foreach of their last three Final Four

seasons: +8.7 (2010), +9.3 (2009) and+6.8(2005). They’ve donethis without

a dominant post playerin a physicalconference.

Izzohas been able togetthemost outof thetalenthe’s had in East Lansing.Theyplay hard, reboundgreat, defend well and

share the basketball.

“ Tom doesasgoodajobas

It’s always aboutthe team. That’s how

Izzo has been able to win with — and without — college basketball’s elite talent.

ANALYZING THE BLUE DEVILS » BY KEVIN DUNLEAVY

The KeyBig Three. Duke survived off nights fromKyle Singler (0-10) against Baylor andJon Scheyer (1-11) against Cal. Can theDevils’ Holy Trinity click against a WestVirginia defense that contests everyshot?

The TroublemakerBrian Zoubek. Formerly derided asDuke’s customary big, white, stiff, the7-footer has emerged as a reboundingmachine (10 pg), leading the Devils toa 157-108 edge on the boards in thetournament.

Why they’ll win it allCoaching, skill, effort. No team in theFinal Four can match Duke’s combina-tion of chemistry, experience and talent.No team has comparable perimeterthreats or works as hard on the boardsor defense.

Why they’ll fall shortDuke can be undone by quickness orphysicality (see West Virginia). Moun-taineers G Joe Mazzulla (13 points, 11rebounds, 8 assists) gave Duke ts ina 2008 NCAA upset. He’ll play a biggerrole Saturday.

Not their greatest strength. But also not their weakest link.

If Duke wins the title, this will be the reason.

It’s a racetrack where horses are

only seen on televisions.The few remaining bettorsarescattered in a small section

of the clubhouse. The grandstand was leased to a boxing club whilethediningroom,once thelargestinthe Washington area, is empty. Liveracing ended last year.

Rosecroft Raceway will surelycloseif theMarylandHouse of Del-egates doesn’t approve H.B. 608expanding slot machine laws toinclude table gamesand essentially become full casinos. The state sen-

ate approved its version of the billenabling Maryland votersto decidegaming on the November ballot.

Passage would create 1,500 jobs,says real estate developer Mark Vogel, now in his second stint of operating the Oxon Hill facility.Otherwise, the 70-year-old track will likely close following a decade-long slide.

“ We’ve got a chance at getting it,” Vogelsaid. “ Withoutalternativegam-ing, Rosecroftwillclose.If wehave to wait two years [for public referen-

dum,] I don’t thinkI’lltry it again.”Unfortunately, Maryland politi-

cianshave forsakenthe state’shorseindustry. Theslot billtook a decadeof lobbying and remains monthsaway fromeven one parlor openingafter Nov. 2008voterapproval. Thestate’sthoroughbredtracksrecently

avoided a bankruptcy sale. Vogel’st rying to create a coalitionof delegates from Prince George’sCounty and the Eastern Shore andconvince those from MontgomeryandHoward counties to approve the bill before the session’s April 12 end.The biggest obstacle will be Housespeaker Michael Busch, a long-timegaming opponent who battled slot backers for years.

It’s the last chance for Rosecroftthat wasa happeningplace throughthe 1970s. Elizabeth Taylor once

dined there with local publicistCharlie Brotman, whohad an assis-tant bet every horse each race soTaylor always cashed a ticket.

Laurel and Pimlico drew crowdsof 40,000 on weekends. The TripleCrown hopefuls passed through

Maryland each fall before return-

ing for the Preakness Stakes.But two competitors endedracing’s foothold — television andsports betting. Tracks made thefatalmistakein the1950sof nottele- vising races for fear of eroding itslive crowd. Nowadays,anything noton TV isn’t considered a real sport.Sports betting and lotteries took off in the1970s to endracing’s gamblingmonopoly. Coupled with a societythat haslost contact with horsesona daily level and racing joined box-ing as 20th century sports barely

surviving into this millennium.Tracks in West Virginia, Dela- ware and Pennsylvania have thrived by hosting slots and other gaming.Maryland has a chance to do thesamewitha projected $250 million ingross gaming revenuesthrough cardgames. However, major legislationrarely passes in Maryland duringtherst attemptto makeH.B. 608 along shot. Vogel hopes job creationand resuming 100 nights of racinggives the billa chanceof passage.

There’s a lotof lobbyingand armtwisting coming. Too bad the naysmay come from more than horses.
