This week in The Tentacle

This week in The Tentacle

Wednesday, October 14, 2009 A case of premature adulation by Kevin E. Dayhoff
Last Friday was the birthday of the Obama family dog and something else. Oh, now I remember. It was the day that President Barack Obama was awarded the Noble Peace Prize.

To Liposuction – or Not!
Tom McLaughlin
Kuching, Malaysia – “I like my tummy soft and round, not flat and hard like the cold hard ground” I sang to myself. These were remnants of a song I had heard on one of those PBS radio shows featuring local artists from around the country. I don’t remember the tune except it was country, but the words have stuck with me ever since.

Michael Kahn Does “The Alchemist!”
Roy Meachum
I’ve warned you about Michael Kahn before. The artistic director of Washington’s Shakespeare Theatre Company continues to make stage classics work by inserting shtickla the writer could not have imagined. He’s done it again in “The Alchemist,” by Ben Jonson.

Tuesday, October 13, 2009
No to County Commissioners
Roy Meachum
Kai Hagen and John L. “Lennie” Thompson cannot count on me; I will not sign the petition putting on the ballot the question of annexing three properties. And the same answer goes to the other commissioners.

Procrastination is the Thief of Time
Nick Diaz
In my last installment, I mentioned the “19-millimeter socket wrench” a mathematics student needs to bring success into his mathematical learning habits. Keep in mind that these observations and recommendations apply to mathematics students at all levels – middle and high school as well as college. Math is math, regardless of what course or level; good academic habits are universal.

Reviewing Contentiousness
Blaine R. Young
For the most part the dust has settled and the situation involving my brother Brad and the Walkersville High School girls softball team has been brought to closure. But this case was so bizarre, and so emblematic of the degree to which the Frederick County Board of Education is out of touch with reality, that it merits one last commentary.

Manipulation Nation
Steven R. Berryman
The control of your future behavior on an epic scale is the goal by some that will make us “The Manipulation Nation.”

From Hither, Thither and Yon
Michael Kurtianyk
Quite the furor over President Barack Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize this year, isn’t it? Such silliness! The deadline for the nominating committee to submit candidates was February 2nd, and his name was submitted on time.

Friday, October 9, 2009
False Media Prophets
Roy Meachum
The Washington Post and The New York Times have changed their tune. Both powerful newspapers bellowed intense “jingoism” at Iraq’s invasion. They thoughtlessly went along with what in columns I called an expression of national egotism. You wouldn’t know it if you read either paper today.

Cheap Political Tricks
Joe Charlebois
Newsflash: According to Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski, men and women are the same! This past weekend Senator Mikulski excoriated the insurance industry for treating men and women differently. She noted that women can pay much more for healthcare insurance than a man of the same age.

Changing Strategies, Positive Results
Chris Cavey
Few people inside or outside the Party of Lincoln would argue the fact that now is the time to invest in Republicans, because everyone knows buying low always yields the best profit. Currently my beloved party is at a low ebb; however, there are signs that the stock will soon rise.

The Good and The Helpful
Joan McIntyre
The poor, picked on Frederick County Board of Education does something that appears to be a good idea and might actually help – and save money to boot – and here I go just raining on its parade. Before I tell you why, let me say I'm actually glad to hear of their plans. I also hope it catches on and becomes a norm for all administrative staff.

Always Remembered, Never Forgotten
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Last Sunday, friends and family from all over the country gathered at the New Windsor fire company social hall to pay their last respects to Guy Babylon, Elton John’s keyboardist for 21 years. Guy Babylon, 52, died at his Los Angles home on September 2.

“…And Yesterday’s Done….”
Tom McLaughlin
Middletown, MD – “It’s a grand old flag, it’s a free flying flag, forever may it wave!” This tune ran through my head as I walked up the hill to the parking lot in Middletown for the annual celebration of Middletown Days. I stopped and watched a fife and bugle ensemble, dressed in 1776 uniforms, playing a patriotic song whose melody I recognized but could not pinpoint. A tear came to my eye.

Tuesday, October 6, 2009
In the Street Origin
Roy Meachum
I don’t remember that there were several thousand marching; I could be wrong. Among the numerous people who poured out that October Saturday in 1983 were my then-wife, her 88-year-old father and me. The weather was decent; I can’t recall details. But it didn’t rain that day, nor was it beastly hot.

Remembering The Forgotten
Farrell Keough
I recently got back from Iowa. I would have invited you, but they were full.

Monday, October 5, 2009
It’s “The Message,” Stupid
Steven R. Berryman
Freedom of speech may be relegated to the past, if the voices of our Founding Fathers are not re-remembered, and quickly. Some attempts to exercise our First, and most valuable amendment to the Constitution, upon examination, are really attacks on the message itself.

A Comfortable Chair and a Good Book
Michael Kurtianyk
The most responses I’ve received to my contributions to TheTentacle.com have come from two recent posts: my summer reading list and my take on the city aldermanic race (I love that word: “aldermanic”; so many connotations). I may post something on the mayoral race prior to the General Election, but until then, here’s my Fall Reading List:

The Tentacle http://www.thetentacle.com/ : A case of premature adulation by Kevin E. Dayhoff October 14, 2009

Last Friday was the birthday of the Obama family dog and something else. Oh, now I remember. It was the day that President Barack Obama was awarded the Noble Peace Prize.

The lead paragraph in The New York Times in the wee hours of the morning when the news was announced read: “The U.S. president Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize ‘for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,’ the Nobel Foundation said in Sweden on Friday.”

I am not making this up.

Much of the world’s reaction, even from die-hard sycophant supporters of President Obama, was complete surprise, bordering on total disbelief.

EAGLE ARCHIVE By Kevin Dayhoff Posted on http://explorecarroll.com/community/3484/eaglearchive/ 10/04/09

One of the more interesting tidbits of history from October in yesteryear didn't take place in Carroll County, but had an impact upon our farming community — and what television looks like today.

It was Oct. 5, 1947, that the first televised presidential speech took place. President Harry S. Truman took to the airwaves to deliver an address to the nation.

The topic wasn't war, the economy or health care ... it was wheat.

What was so important about wheat? Glad you asked. Barely two years had passed since the devastating war in Europe had ended, and the continent was still in chaos.

I do not watch much of “Top 40” commercial television; however I have come to appreciate David Zurawik’s commentary on the contemporary pop-culture scene on the tube. It is intelligent and informative and keeps me up-to-date without having the dreadful experience of having to watch it.

About David Zurawik Click here for a larger image: http://twitpic.com/la8oe

I've been The Baltimore Sun's TV critic since 1989. My writings on TV and media have appeared in such publications as TV Guide, Esquire magazine and American Journalism Review.

I have a Ph.D. in American Studies from the University of Maryland, College Park, and an M.A. in specialized reporting (on popular culture) from the University of Wisconsin.

I'm the author of The Jews of Prime Time (Brandeis University Press), a look at 50 years of Jewish characters and identity on network TV. I have also been with WYPR-FM (88.1) radio since 1994 and can be heard Thursday mornings at 7:30 doing a weekly "Take on Television" report.

Investigative Voice: Md. NAACP Wants To Limit Governor's Power To Replace Dixon If She Is Convicted By Stephen Janis

The Maryland State Conference of the NAACP calls for legislation to limit the governor's power to appoint a replacement if Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon is convicted of misconduct.

By Stephen Janis Sunday, 11 October 2009

The continuing legal troubles of Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon has prompted the Maryland State Conference of the NAACP to approve a push for legislation that would limit the governor options for choosing a new mayor, if she is convicted of misconduct while in office.
