The Annus Horribilis Project
File:Annus yellow1.jpg File:Annus purple2.jpg File:Annus green.jpg File:Annus pink.jpg File:Annus blue.jpg File:Annus orange.jpg
Annus Horribilis is an ongoing literary project which aims to collect true "worst day" stories from people all over the world. The culmination of the project is to be the publication of a book containing the best three-hundred and sixty-five stories. Although a unique undertaking in its own right, Annus Horribilis has something in common with the creative tradition begun by people like Dave Gorman insofar as the actual process of collecting different elements under a common theme and relaying them back to the public in a humorous way is just as much a part of the project as the end result.
Popularity
The Chelmsford Weekly News reported in March 2007 that over two-hundred people had at that point contributed to the project, with entries being sent from "all parts of the English-speaking world, including America and Australia."[1]
According to information previously released in myspace bulletins, the Annus Horribilis profile is viewed over a hundred times daily and receives submissions at an average rate of five per day.
The Edge magazine has begun a monthly feature on the project, reporting its progress and printing a different worst day each issue. It quotes Stephen Moles, the creator of Annus Horribilis, as saying that "people clearly have a lot to get off their chests."[2] This explains a large part of its appeal: it is not only fun, but a cathartic process for everyone who participates.
Promotion
When it first began in late 2006, the Annus Horribilis Project was promoted through various public events in the south of England which involved people dressed as beaten-up leprechauns miming worst days and distributing leaflets. Most of the subsequent promotion has been online. The primary point of reference for the project is a myspace profile(www.myspace.com/annus_horribilis)which puts some of the best worst days on show as blog entries.
The Book
The book containing the best three-hundred and sixty-five stories will be arranged to resemble a diary with each story assigned to a different day of the year. Since each account is written as a first person narrative, the book should read from start to finish like a diary written by one single person. The submissions exhibited thus far are largely comical, detailing instances of embarrassment, inconvenience or physical pain. The book is likely to have exactly the same feel, but with "some drama for good measure."[1] No date has yet been given for publication.
The Creator
Annus Horribilis was created by the artist Stephen Moles who first made a name for himself with his controversial performance poetry. He is best known as a published writer, but his artistic activity also extends to acting, directing (film and theatre) and performing live music. Annus Horribilis can be seen as a natural development of his previous work, all of which is characterised by a dark sense of humour and a love of experimentation. A mission statement of sorts on his website describes his art as "tragicomic" in nature.[3]

Eszter Várady
Eszter Várady (full name in Hungarian, including husband's name: Kovátsné Várady Eszter), born 10 May 1953, is a contemporary Hungarian writer of fiction, novels and short stories. Up to now, most of her books have been published under pseudonyms (like for example Peter East, Peter Eastborough or Esther G. Wood). However, in most cases she she gave some hint and let appear her real name as the "translator's" or "co-publisher's" name (see for example this book presentation, where she is mentioned as "fordító", that's translator: entry on www.libri.hu). Alongside writers like István Nemere or Magda Szabó she belongs to the most known and most popular contemporary writers in Hungary. But in comparison with them and despite her popularity in Hungary, gathered in the last decade, up to now her works haven't been translated into other languages. However, this is going to be changed soon, as she is supported at present by the German Steinke-Institut (a German academy dedicated to languages, education and culture and founded in the memory of German writer Udo Steinke), which will, in cooperation with the Steinke-Journal, translate some of her works and promote her in Germany. The most known works of Eszter Várady are "Villámcsapás", "Az örökös", "A hasonmás", "Túl a halálon", "Boldogság életveszélyben" and her recent work "A férfi, aki tetszik nekem", most of them published as "Esther G Wood".

The Thom Hartmann Program
The Thom Hartmann Show is a weekday radio show on the Air America Radio network hosted by Thom Hartmann. Thom Hartmann's national program, syndicated by Air America Radio, and on the air live daily since March 2003, is carried on radio stations across the USA, daily from noon to 3 pm ET. It is also broadcast 7 days a week on Stream 146 on Sirius satellite radio and weekends and evenings on the "Air America" channel on XM satellite radio, and streamed live on the web from RadioPower.org, WhiteRoseSociety.org, www.airamericaradio.com, and CRN Digital into cable systems in 29 states (click here to hear the program live).
He replaced Al Franken on the network, live noon-3 PM ET, on February 19, 2007.
He has been hosting a local talk show in Portland, Oregon since 2005 on KPOJ, an affiliate of Air America Radio and owned by Clear Channel Communications. The local show, 6–9 am PT with co-host Heidi Tauber, precedes his national program; Hartmann does 6 hours a day of live talk radio, 5 days a week. Following the departure of the Air America network's The Al Franken Show on February 15, 2007, Hartmann's program automatically replaced Franken on most Air America affiliates. [2] However, not all affiliates picked up his show when Franken's show stopped. Most notably, XM Satellite Radio elected to carry Ed Schultz in lieu of Hartmann, despite XM having an exclusive deal to carry Air America content. [3]
There is a new wave of fans who refer to Hartmann as Thom "The Hitmann" Hartmann, a tribute to former wrestling superstar Bret "The Hitman" Hart. They feel that Hartmann is a voice for the people, and that he "stands up to the bad guys and fights for law, order, and justice" similar to the way his near-namesake took on rasslin' bad guys in that ring.

Whig Theory
The Whig Theory was the prevailing view of the Presidency in the 19th Century, rejected by some presidents such as Andrew Jackson who saw himself as the “people’s tribune”. It states that the power of the Presidency is limited to the express terms of the Constitution and that the role is primarily administrative.
