THE POINT:PRESIDENT BUSHRUINED MY'RELATIONSHIP'
morethanhope Obamaneeds torestlretrust This time of year is always one o[ pause and reflection.This year is even more so as we say goodbye (and good riddance) to one president and enthusiastically welcome a new one. Lately, as I enter into my 10th year of marriage, I've been thinking about the similarities between a marriage and the relationship betlreen a leader and his people. This relationship that 14â‚Źhave n'ith our presidents is like most relationships. There's a balance of power and authority. There's a time to listen and a time to talk. The bedrock of the relationship is trust and respect. Once that's gone, it's hard to go back. The last eight years have been the kind of marriage that all of your friends r,l'ould tell you to end.

As I watched the stagecraft Baghdad's falt, I silently beseeched Bush to make sure we did this right. But there ft?s something about the Hollyn'ood way in rvhich the administration talked up this wiu. A sneaking suspicion I'd been .tricked into trusting crept into rny gut. Still, I stubbornly gaveBush the benefit of the doubt.

Bad Weather California takes the genre and flips it around with slight punk influ-x (such as their easy listening, campfre singalong "l!'e lVere Young, We Got High," in which frontman Chris Adolf embraces his fond memories of youth) to create somereally fun music, alt-country/neo-folk/psychedelia. All three bands make great music that createsan even better atmosphere, and there is something at this show for everybody. From heartfelt ballads. to singing at the top of your lungs, it's all there.

THE POINT: FIRST AMENDMENT ISATSTAKE
THEMETROPOIrIiIN
Freespeech isn't off limitsto tercorists Javed lqbal and Saleh Elahwal are two names you may not recognize.No news agenciesare doing any real reporting on the two men or the crimestley are guilty of, a "crime" that could put both men in prison for 15 years.It's oddthat no newsagencieshavereportedon what thesetwo men are to be sentencedfor, because it is somethingof directconsequence bothe existenceof free speechand a freepress. BetweenSeptember2005 and August2006 Iqbal ownedand, with the assistanceo[ E]ahwal,operated a satellitebroadcastcompanv out of Staten Island, New York. They broadcastthe Al Manar channel.a news operation funded by the group Hezbollah.The h!'o men lvere paid by Al Manar to broadcastthe station and did so, along with other companies like Hispasat,Intelsatand TARBSWorld TV Thesestationshave droppedAl Manar becauseof bans and the threat of prosecutionfrom countriestheybroadcastin. But we are not other countries; we havea little somethingcalledthe FirstAmendment. The First Amendment makesno stipulation to what kind of freedom of speechand freedomof presswe have.It doesnot state:freedomof the press- e\ceptwhen that pressis in a form that we don't care for. It simply statesthat there is freedom,for the distributionof newsand it cannotbe disruptedby the government. The men are being chargedunderthe InternationalEmergenryEconomi( Powers Act.It allolr'sthepresident to declarean emergencythat could harm the UnitedStates(like a tcrroristattack).

If people want to argue that the news that Al N1anar broadcasts is biased, I don't have an argument againsl that. The news coming,from Al Manar is biased. and is 100 percent pro-terrorism.
