  788. <strong>The Morgue Lives!</strong>
  789. <p>It is a cramped basement annex, stacked high with metal filing cabinets, full of three-fourths of a million pounds of old newspaper clippings and photos, going back 160 years.</p>
  790. <p>It’s simply called “the morgue.”</p>
  791. <p>To get here, a reporter must leave the shiny glass tower that is the 40th Street headquarters of the <em>New York Times</em>, walk a half-block down the street, and descend three levels below the sidewalk. There, in a nondescript tower, she will emerge from a dirty elevator, walk past a janitor’s closet, then past a giant, rusted pump contraption with running water, and finally reach a pair of metal doors. There are glue traps with belly-up cockroaches in the corner.</p>

  959. <p>We&#8217;re excited to announce the official launch of <a href="http://storyboard.tumblr.com">Storyboard</a>, our new hub for in-depth conversations with Tumblr&#8217;s creative community. We&#8217;ll be posting regular features on creators working in and around Tumblr&#8217;s massively diverse cosmos &#8212; writers, musicians, animators, scientists, artists, archivists, chefs, comedians, or anyone else with a great story to tell. Today we&#8217;re talking about Michael Stipe, the New York Times, Afghanistan, and the design mechanics of the Tumblr Dashboard.</p>
  960. <p>We want to hear your stories too. If you&#8217;re interested in submitting a story (or even a story idea) for us to publish, just post it on Tumblr tagged with <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/storyboard">#storyboard</a>. Our editors will monitor the tag and the community&#8217;s interactions there, promoting stories that resonate. And if your story really works, we&#8217;ll ask to expand it for publication on Storyboard itself.</p>
  961. <p>Last but not least, if you find yourself in New York City on May 10, we&#8217;d love to hang out at <a href="http://meetups.tumblr.com/post/22585921647/official-tumblr-meetup-introducing-storyboard">the official Tumblr meetup celebrating Storyboard&#8217;s launch</a>. It&#8217;s at Powerhouse Arena, 7-9pm, with drinks on us and several Tumblr celebrity mystery guests (cough <a href="http://topherchris.com">Topherchris</a>, <a href="http://tommypom.com">Tommypom</a>, cough).</p> </div>

  1082. <blockquote>
  1083. <p>When neoconservatives say that they are the party of “law and order,” it is important to remember that they care less for the rule of law than they do for the rule of order.</p>
  1084.  
  1085. <p>The modern law and order movement kicks off in 1964 with Barry Goldwater’s speech accepting the GOP nomination. Then a minor issue, law and order had particular resonance in the South, where George Wallace was gaining a following with a similar message. Goldwater, while suffering a major loss in the election, did particularly well among Southern states using this message, something Richard Nixon would put to good use in the next election.</p>
  1086.  
  1087. <p>There were good reasons behind the law and order movement’s success in bringing the South into the GOP. Some of these reasons have to do less with a neoconservative project than with a very old conservative project. As historian Robert Perkinson explores in his book Texas Tough, there has always been a distinctly repressive character to the Southern prison, with its chain gangs, forced labor, and limited attempts at reform. These vicious practices, born out of the era of slavery, remain and shape the modern prison. As Perkinson says of the penal labor farms in East Texas, “Nowhere else in turn-of-the-millennium America could one witness gangs of African American men filling cotton sacks under the watchful eyes of armed whites on horseback.”</p>
  1088.  
  1089. <p>As political power moved to the Sunbelt and conservatives successfully realigned the South rightward, these brutal tactics became wedded to the Republican Party. The prison is part of the conservative project of race control. As Michelle Alexander argues in <em>The New Jim Crow</em>, mass incarceration locks people of color into permanent second-class citizenship much as the Jim Crow system of de jure and de facto segregation did in the past. Legalized discrimination, political disenfranchisement, and segregation, instituted through techniques like job licensing restrictions and legal requirements for voting, are features of both regimes.</p>

  1650. <p>Consider, then, what it must be like to be a true-blue Rush Limbaugh fan, or someone who thinks Michele Bachmann is a serious lawmaker with a grasp of the issues – put yourself into that person&#8217;s shoes for a moment, and consider what a nightmarish landscape the world around them must represent:</p>
  1651.  
  1652. <p><em>The White House has been usurped by a Kenyan socialist named <a href="http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/occidental.asp">Barry Soetero</a>, who hatched an elaborate plot to pass himself off as a citizen of the United States – a plot the media refuse to even investigate. This president doesn&#8217;t just claim the right to assassinate suspected terrorists who are beyond the reach of law enforcement – he may be planning on rounding up his ideological opponents and <a href="http://lewrockwell.com/lazarowitz/lazarowitz36.1.html">putting them into concentration camps if he is reelected</a>. He may have <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/01/andrew-breitbarts-death-inspires-conspiracy-theories_n_1314988.html">murdered a blogger</a> who was critical of his administration, but authorities refuse to investigate. At the very least, he is plotting on <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/09/26/328300/paranoid-nra-chief-obama-leaving-gun-owners-alone-is-conspiracy-to-take-away-guns/">disarming the American public</a> after the election, in accordance with <a href="http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/untreaty.asp">a secret deal cut with the UN</a> and possibly with the <a href="http://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/obama-in-colombia-plotting-us-gun-confiscation-using-foreign-troops/13735">assistance of foreign troops</a>.</em></p>
  1653.  
  1654. <p>Again, these ideas are not relegated to the fringe of forwarded emails. Glenn Beck <a href="http://rightsoup.com/glenn-beck-says-fema-prisons-and-camps-are-real/">talked about FEMA camps on Fox News</a> (he later debunked them, which only fueled charges of a media coverup); dozens of <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/03/gop-lawmaker-stokes-birther-drama/">Republican elected officials</a> have at least hinted that they are birthers, while an erstwhile front-runner for the GOP nomination has <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/a-look-at-trumps-birther-statements/2011/04/27/AFeOYb1E_blog.html">repeatedly claimed</a> that Obama is not eligible to be president. The <a href="http://www.nraila.org/106043">head of the NRA</a>, and the <a href="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/04/13/romney-endorses-belief-that-obama-is-conspiring-to-take-away-gun-rights/">GOP&#8217;s presidential nominee</a> have both claimed Obama is plotting to take Americans&#8217; guns.</p>
  1655.  
  1656. <p>In reality, <a href="http://www.alternet.org/world/154405/america_has_never_been_safer_--_so_why_are_politicians_and_the_media_trying_to_terrify_us/?page=entire">Americans are safer and more secure today</a> than at any point in human history. But inhabitants of the world of the hard-right are surrounded by danger – from mobs of thugs at home to a variety of powerful and deadly enemies abroad.</p>

  1771. <p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> Buzz, how familiar were you with Jack&#8217;s music before we asked you to do this interview?</p>
  1772. <p><strong>ALDRIN:</strong> I have to tell you, before this interview, not very. The closest I ever came to a Jack White was a Jack Waite I used to know who was a rep for North American Aviation. He was married to a gorgeous gal. I also used to know a Ralph White—he died recently, but he dove down to the <em>Titanic</em> in Russian submersibles. I had lunch with him once, and he said that he spent more time on the <em>Titanic</em> than the captain did. [<em>Ehrlich</em><em> and </em><em>White</em><em> laugh</em>] That&#8217;s a joke. [<em>Aldrin</em><em> laughs</em>] But Jack, now that I am familiar with your work, I do have some questions for you. I know that your new album is called <em>Blunderbuss</em>. Tell me about that a little bit.</p>
  1773. <p><strong>WHITE:</strong> Well, I&#8217;ve always loved the word <em>blunderbuss</em>. I&#8217;ve always thought that it was a beautiful word and that it could mean several different things.</p>
  1774. <p><strong>ALDRIN:</strong> A blunderbuss is a kind of gun—the kind that can blow your head off.</p>

  1911. <p>When Barack Obama met Genevieve Cook in 1983 at a Christmas party in New York’s East Village, it was the start of his most serious romance yet. But as the 22-year-old Columbia grad began to shape his future, he was also struggling with his identity: American or international? Black or white? Drawing on conversations with both Cook and the president, David Maraniss, in an adaptation from his new Obama biography, has the untold story of the couple’s time together.</p>
