Mitt Romney's greatest enemy is in his mirror
By Pablo Fanque

This headline/front page keeps reappearing on blogs and websites, reminding us daily that while the GOP-Tea Party has not mounted a respectable candidate since--probably--Dwight D,. Eisenhower, they have rarely put together such a pathetic assemblage. . .well, except maybe, last time around.

Mitt Romney endorses Affordable Care Act
By Pablo Fanque
National Affairs Editor
Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul, responding to a brutal new super PAC ad (the one showing a man who blames Bain Capital for his uninsured wife’s death), broke new ground for the campaign by praising Romney’s health insurance mandate. Saul brought up her candidate's greatest legislative achievement--an almost explicit endorsement of the Affordable Care Act.
This is looking to be one of the most colossal Romney eff-ups yet in a campaign now increasingly littered with them. No one on the left has a problem with this, but "the base," or, Ex-Governor Romney's core supporters, are outraged. And this is on top of several other howlers this week. Governor, all we can say is "keep on keepin' on."

Seattle's first famous musicians, and a mysterious disappearance: the Louise and Ferera Hawaiian troupe
By Jack Brummet, Northwest history editor
This is an instrumental Hawaiian guitar version of Alberto Pestalozza’s 1898 “Ciribiribin." by the Louise and Ferera Hawaiian troupe. Click here to download Ciribiribin.
Frank Ferera was the first great star of Hawaiian music, and he and his future wife became the first musicians from the remote province of Seattle to achieve fame. Ferera first visited the United States as part of the Keoki E Awai troupe, and he became famous with the troupe by performing to an estimated 17 million people in a seven-month period at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. He married Helen Louise Greenus, the daughter of Seattle businessman, and they toured the U.S. as the Louise and Ferera Hawaiian troupe. In 1915, they were signed by Columbia Records. “Ciribiribin” was the last song they recorded together.
On December 12, 1919, Helen Louise mysteriously disappeared while the couple were on board the steamship SS President, from Los Angeles back to their home in Seattle. She had apparently gone on deck for a walk at 4 a.m. and never returned. I thought that only happened in noir movies. . .
