The literature and material that has arisen because of Steve Bartman’s life does little to tell of who he is. Bartman repeatedly declined to speak, even when it would be lucrative for himself. The infamous Steve Bartman incident occurred on October 14, 2003 with the Chicago Cubs and Florida Marlins at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. He almost caught a foul ball that controversially might have been caught by outfielder Moisés Alou and turned the tide of the game they lost 8-3. The outpouring of blame and thrown objects forced Bartman, an avid Cubs fan, to leave, and even to sequester himself in his house for protection. This has raised issues related to

This whole district was the biggest pain of them all because one mouse click could easily throw off balance of the other districts. I had moved his district a little bit to the left and then added a tumor shaped section to his district and called it a day. That last part in which I drew the tumor shaped section had made his percentages 50% Republican, 48% Democrat, and a whole 2% Undecided. The funniest thing is it was pure luck, it had fell into place. Lastly, we have ole Mark Etz and his oddly shaped district, which I had just left after the aftermath of the formation of the other districts. It’s kind of shaped like the number three, I’m not going to question it because it had finished with 50% Republican, 48% Democrat, and 2% Undecided. This was clearly an attempt to “Partisan Gerrymander” in favor of the Republican party, which displays unfairness to the Democrats. I believe everyone in politics should be able to have a chance at winning, but that’s just too much to ask now-a-days.

In Jim’s early life he was born in Logan County, Kentucky in April of 1796. When Jim was six years old his family moved to Bayou Boeuf, Louisiana in 1802. In Louisiana, he developed the spirit of adventure. His usual hobby was wrestling alligators and just exploring around the areas he lived by. In 1812 he enlisted in the Louisiana militia after the start of the war in 1812 against the British but he was too late to see any action. Soon he was back in the Louisiana selling timber. But with the money that he earned he bought slaves. Jim later met Jean Lafitte, who was a gulf coast pirate who was involved with illegal slave smuggling. Jim’s brothers bought smuggled slaves and said that they found them and kept the money when they were sold at

Not only were the larger counties becoming more suburbanized but Flynt’s primary constituents were shifting to the Republican Party. Flynt had a decision to make. Should he change his representational strategy? or not? The new district proved to be a bigger problem than Flynt had thought, the redistricting would be the cause of the closeness of his 1974 and 1976 reelection contest.

Tammany Hall, a powerful political organization in New York that virtually controlled politics throughout the state of New York from 1789 until the 1970s, had other ideas and asked Osborne if he would run for lieutenant governor, but he declined. Eventually, a compromise candidate – John A. Dix – got the nomination and was elected. Dix wanted Osborne to be part of his administration and offered him the position of Forest, Fish and Game Commissioner. This was seemingly a ridiculous appointment as Osborne knew nothing about fishing or hunting, nor did he particularly care to learn. But he took the appointment and stuck with it until a brief illness forced him to resign.

The main competitor to Huffman was the Republican, Dan Roberts. However, due to the recent redistricting, the district lines were drawn in a way that made it almost impossible for a Republican to win the nomination. Because most of the population in California’s 2nd District were in the Southern region, which is staunchly Democrat, Huffman would easily win the election. In a landslide election, Huffman won 71.24% of the votes, a huge margin of 42.49% of the vote. Similarly, in 2014 and 2016, Huffman, up against Dale Mensing, would win the election by an ever-larger percentage of votes. Notably, the 2016 election, which saw a record turnout of 330,766 for the district, Huffman won 76.75% of the vote, wiping the floor with his Republican

The builder of this seventeen room Greek revival mansion was Stephen S. Speakman. In the early 1840s, the elderly Speakman fell in love with a much younger woman, Sarah Bush, whose father owned a slave-holding plantation in Kentucky. Upon asking her hand in marriage, his bride-to-be refused to marry him unless he built her a southern plantation-style mansion. In 1845, with the use of his father-in-law’s slaves, Speakman erected his mansion on a five hundred acre plot next to Loughery Creek with every brick baked on site (Historical Marker Project).

Richard Wayne Penniman was born on December 5th, 1932 in Macon Georgia. He was third of twelve children in his family. He was born to Charlie and Leva Mae Penniman into the impoverished area of the city. The Penniman family was very religious, with both Richard's father and grandfather working as preachers in the area. In fact, church is where his singing career began when his parents formed a family singing group called 'The Penniman Singers' that consisted of Richard, his parents, and his siblings. Continuing in his religion, Richard had the opportunity to experience many different types of religion and churches. His favorite was the Pentecostal church because of its fun, dancing, and music. Richard also became a 'faith healer' in the church so that he could place his hands on people, pray for them, and they claimed to feel better afterward.

The definition of the word hero is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding, achievements, or noble qualities. I think of Pat Tillman as a definition of the word hero.

Performed on a Steinway Model D Concert Grand Piano, the newest studio release from a long time favorite musician of mine; Rick Wakeman. His newest release is at the time of this writing, charting. Out about a month ago. Fifteen tracks, with Rick’s piano playing being the only thing you’ll hear on the record. Cover songs all but one, Wakeman’s Dance of the Damselflies, and a song that I can’t count as an original Wakeman composition, for the sole reason of it being credited to a dear friend of his, Jon Anderson. That song, a Yes hit called ‘Wonderful stories”. My take has always been
