As part of his “Je ne regret rien pas” book tour, the 78-year-old former defense secretary [Rumsfeld] stopped by the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, where he got the group’s annual “Defender of the Constitution” award. Only another person with such an ironic spin on the phrase “Defender of the Constitution” could present the award, of course, so Dick Cheney popped by to give it to his old pal.
Cheney’s entrance music was Tina Turner’s “Simply the Best,” also favored by Ricky Gervais for motivational speeches in the British version of “The Office.” When supporters of Ron and Rand Paul heckled the crusty pair — yelling “draft dodger” at Cheney, “Where’s bin Laden?” at Rumsfeld, and “war criminal” at both — Cheney blithely ordered them to “Sit down and shut up.”
Noting that his friend was both the youngest and oldest defense secretary, Cheney said, “Maybe if we give him a third term he’ll get it right.”
Doubtful. Rummy was still full of vinegar as he taunted President Obama for the conservatives.
Looking at the administration’s many “reversals of their announced policies on national security issues — Guantánamo Bay, military commissions, indefinite detention, CIA drone strikes,” he said, it makes me wonder if Dick [Cheney] has had more influence on President Obama than the people that got him elected.”

US Green Party celebrates Egypt’s giant step towards democracy, asserts that the Egyptian people must build a new government according to their own interests, not US strategic demands
The Green Party of the United States congratulated the Egyptian people and called President Hosni Mubarak’s resignation a huge step towards democracy, human rights, and stability for their country.
Romi Elnagar, member of the Green Party of Louisiana and wife and mother of Egyptian-Americans said:
The Egyptian revolution is a victory for the people of Egypt, and also the victory for an idea — the idea that violent regimes can be overthrown through nonviolent means. While police and rampaging pro-Mubarak thugs killed 350 and injured thousands more, the protesters themselves remained overwhelmingly peaceful.

Matt Reichel
The Center Square Journal is reporting that 47th ward aldermanic candidate, Tom O’Donnell, has elected not to attend next Tuesday’s debate at the Dank Haus in Lincoln Square.
As to why O’Donnell may have decided to not come, fellow candidate Matt Reichel responded:
Ask Carol Moseley Braun. She might have some idea. Tom did not perform very strongly at the last debate at Coonley Elementary. He probably feels that he has a lot to lose, and little to gain, by attending this forum.
Reichel continued to rally progressives: Read more »

From the event:
IW: This is not a post. It is a love note. One of our goals on Wilderside has been to support the local music scene, and let our friends know how many amazing musicians are in their backyard. This free singer-songwriter series does that in a big way. It is hosted by LI Pulse which regularly spotlights local talent, including an occasional article from your humble blogger.
On top of that , this music series is curated by one of my all-time favorite poet–musicians Alan Semerdjian. Alan is also a regularly contributor to LI Pulse. One of my favorite games in getting a new issue of Pulse, besides seeing if I recognize the lyric publisher Nada quotes in her column and flipping to infobites in the back page Pulse rate, is hunting Wheres-Waldo-style for the almost obligatory Alan column/photo/listing.

Do you still need a special gift for a special someone for Valentine’s Day?
There is a store on your way out east on Long Island, that Ian and I always love to visit. Whenever I go in, I see all the jewelry sparkling, the scarves, and many-colored textiles, and I just want to take something home. I also want to share this beautiful oasis of meaningful gifts with all of our friends. The store is Green Earth Natural Foods Market. It’s in Riverhead, so not too far of a trip for us, especially if we are headed that way for a drive towards nature.
The owner Steve has a beautiful spirit, and believes strongly in right livelihood. He nurtures and informs all the aspects of the store — the health food groceries, vitamins and supplements, the deli (with sublime vegetarian choices), and the gifts. Recently, they opened up their shop to local visual artists, so there is a gallery of artwork on display and for sale. You can often hear live music playing, either a performance, or a guest to the Cafe just adding to the harmonies. Green Earth is truly worth visiting and supporting.
You can find more info and the main website here: www.genfm.com
You can find the FaceBook page here: Green Earth LI on FaceBook
It would be lovely if you could “like” the page, and spread the word about this unique, uplifting local business.
