Why you shouldn’t underestimate Rand Paul, part 42
Posted: January 14, 2014 at 10:44 pm
Mention Rand Paul's likely 2016 presidential candidacy in political circles -- Republican and Democratic -- and you are as likely to be greeted with an eye roll as a nod of the head.
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) speaks to members of the media after an East Room event that President Barack Obama announced San Antonio, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Southeastern Kentucky, and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma as "Promise Zones" January 9, 2014 at the White House in Washington, DC.

The Kentucky Senator, the eldest son of former House member and three time presidential candidate Ron Paul, is still regarded as a sort of amusing sideshow by many "serious" political practitioners. The prevailing sentiment is that Paul the younger is a chip off the old block, someone with views -- particularly on foreign policy and some social issues -- that are simply too far outside of the current mainstream of Republican thought to make him a viable candidate for president.
We've long believed that Republicans (and even some Democrats) who would dismiss Paul as simply a clone of his father -- both in terms of his policies and his political skills -- are badly misjudging him and his potential. The latest evidence of that reality comes via the Lexington Herald-Leader's Sam Youngman. Youngman writes:
At an Atlanta fundraiser Monday, both old-guard Republicans and a new generation of conservative political givers raised $150,000 for Paul's Senate re-election committee and gave credence to the argument that establishment Republican fundraisers are looking closely at Paul's presidential prospects.
The outlines of what a Paul for President finance committee might look like met with Kentucky's junior senator. Among the 35 investors in attendance was Jack Oliver, who ran George W. Bush's fundraising operations in 2000 and 2004.
Oliver, the story makes clear, is not endorsing anyone in the race until former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush makes up his mind about running. But, the very fact that the man who ran the finance organizations for both of George W. Bush's presidential campaigns was kicking Rand Paul's tires is telling.
Paul is a much cagier political operator than his father ever was. Since the end of the 2012 election, he has been quietly courting major players in the Republican donor world. There's a dual goal here. Paul undoubtedly hopes that some of these whales -- the major donors and bundlers of campaign cash -- sign on with him. But, even if they don't, he wants to make clear to them -- as well as to the broader Republican establishment -- that he is a) not his father and b) not scary. Paul knows he won't ever be the "establishment" candidate (that will be either Chris Christie, Scott Walker, Jeb Bush, Bobby Jindal or Marco Rubio) but he also knows that there is a big difference between the establishment being vehemently opposed to him as the nominee and being neutral about that prospect. Paul is working to allay fears from the establishment so that in the event he is the pick, there won't be any problem in uniting the party behind his candidacy.
It's a savvy move and reflective of Paul's keen understanding of his own weaknesses and his commitment to trying to address and mitigate -- if not solve -- them. That is a remarkably underrated trait in a candidate for any office but especially for president. Knowing where you are weak is far more important than knowing where you are strong. Paul understands that. And that's (yet another) reason that the GOP political establishment should take him (more) seriously.

‘Being Human’ Season 4 Premiere Review
Posted: at 10:43 pm
[This is a review of the Being Humanseason 4 premiere. There will be SPOILERS.]
-
Being Humans fourth season premiere (Old Dogs, New Tricks) picks-up three months after the events of the season 3 finale (despite the nine month real-time gap between episodes) with Aidan (Sam Witwer) and Nora (Kristen Hager) running through the woods from a wolfed out Josh (Sam Huntington) while Sally (Meaghan Rath) is trapped in some kind of purgatory spa. The two sequences are far from the dreary Boston apartment and the shows other familiar locales, but while the surroundings are a bit different, the episode doesnt take long to snip some of last seasons remaining plot threads while pulling out a few new ones.
Firstly, Josh is still a wolf following last seasons cliffhanger. Essentially,his human to werewolf ratio flipped 180 degrees to where he only turns human one night a month which just so happens to be the night that Nora turns into a wolf. Theres a weird romantic poetry to the ships-passing-in-the-night status of their relationship and unbound passion at play when they finally see each other after those separately torturous days, but we can see Joshs underlying pain seeping out. The reunion is bittersweet, brief, and if Josh has his way, a goodbye.
Slipping in and out of his human consciousness while spending his wolf time alternately in a barn stall and in the forest where he chases his friends for exercise, Josh knows that Aidan and Nora feel duty-bound to tend to him in his wolf state, but he is desperate to free them from that burden and asks Aidan to kill him. A request that is rejected and pushed aside by Aidan and Josh with too much ease a disappointing trend that is also at play when it comes time to resolve Sallys situation.
Held by Donna who may not be as cut-and-dry evil as we thought in season 3 Sallys escape from her holding cellis predictable, too easy (theres the trend), and one of the coolest visuals in the episode as it switches between the sight of Sally swinging from a rope in a big box retailer and an olde Massachusetts witch trial.
Her escape and return to the group may also signal doom and a more ambitious footprint for the show if Donnas warnings about Sallys powers and her presence in the realm of the living prove to be true. But Donnas exit feels entirely too quick and her intentions far too noble following her arc from last season. Will she return as the season delves into realm of witchcraft and the reason for Sallys spiritual durability?

‘Almost Human’ Reveals 2nd Missing Episode in Week 8
Posted: at 10:43 pm
[This is a review forAlmost Humanseason 1, episode 8. It contains SPOILERS.]
Its the second episode made and the eighth to air, but Almost Human has finally started talking about Kennexs girlfriend Anna again, albeit briefly, in its final episode leading before a 3-week hiatus. Though Foxs new future series is on-point and a thoroughly enjoyable watch, itll be to each his own when the series returns February 10, as its still a bit difficult to get a sense of this series direction.
In this weeks missing episode, You Are Here, written by creator J.H. Wyman & former executive producer Naren Shankar, technology takes over and an assassin no mark could ever hide from is created. As Kennex and Dorian attempt to track down its source before more lives are taken, Maldonado looks deeper into the incident that cost Kennex his leg (not to mention his partner), revealing a much larger mystery that could ultimately take down the entire precinct.
Like last weeks episode (and most, really), Simon Says, this weeks is a fun and compelling looking into the future of technology and, in the case of You Are Here, assassinations, which are now able to be completed with bullets meant to track the location of their intended target, no matter where they are. Whats most impressive, though, is the fact that this is the second episode made and, barring a few out of context scenes, reveals the true strength of the series foundation.
More so, a few questions that fans have been looking for answers to like Kennex not making use of other synthetics while in the field or Richards general feelings toward the famed duo were legitimately addressed, proving that, though the series has been aired out of order (thanks to scheduling), an earnest intent was made to fully develop the series early-on in its existence.
Unfortunately, Almost Human has been muddied by shifting schedules and a second-helping of hiatus, and this episode (as well as others) no matter how thoroughly enjoyable never truly develop into anything more complex than its 8pm timeslot will allow which isnt much, but it sure is more than most.
This, in addition to the weak and generally sparse storyline involving Kennexs ex, or even Dorians desire for mortality to make sense, makes it difficult for much of the series hard-earned appeal to ingrain itself in the minds of those watching. The show is entertaining, and the cast is honestly too good for network television; however, outside of a few truly brilliant moments, theres still no reason to care about whats going on and network television isnt superficial enough to survive on potential alone, no matter who is in the cast.
