Report: Badger to be named new GM
With the position of GM vacant following former GM Al's surprise retirement announcement, the President has received numerous applications, and has not officially made a decision.

An anonymous source tells the Nyman Times that the President is going to appoint Senator Badger to the position.  While this has not been confirmed, the President did appoint Badger to replace Al as Chairman of the Budget Process Committee until the position is filled, potentially tipping his hand slightly.  These reports are however unconfirmed, and the Nyman Times has not been able to reach the President, Vice President, or Senator Badger for confirmation or denial.

Another source, speaking again on the condition of anonymity, tells the Nyman Times that a prominent member of Atlasia's right has applied to the President.  No name was given, although another source tells the Times that Senator NCYankee, the newly elected PPT of the Senate, was interested in taking the position.

For the record, I have received no notice from the President.

Badger appointed GM
Earlier today, President Purple State appointed Badger to be the next GM.  The President's decision, which had been reported in the Nyman Times of September 17, has been widely applauded, and a speedy confirmation is expected.

The Nyman Times applauds the President's decision, and feels that Badger will make an excellent GM.

I heartily thank the Times for its words of encouragement. Kudos on breaking the story before I even knew about it (no joke). That's some good reporting!

Who says investigative journalism is dead?

Yes Ben, good job finding out about this before it broke.

And Badger, good luck! I'm very happy you got this.

Thanks, Gov! I'll do the region proud.

And it ain't delaying sh**t. If Badger is on, he cast the votes, I declare him nominated.


If he ain't on, it ain't going to matter is it?

True dat.

Votes are cast. I'll leave it up to the PPT if he wants to schedule a quick vote on Libertas's forthcoming amendment and then a final vote on the Free Time Happy Happy bill before confirming my nomination.

[Badger]

Um, is it me or the byline and story don't match?

Senator Libertas dead
Senator Libertas, an At-Large Senator of the Populares Party, was declared dead early today.  The Senator was known for his controversial behavior and confrontational attitude towards many in Atlasia.  One of the most polarizing figures in Atlasia, he was mentioned as a possible February 2011 Presidential candidate.  The Senator had already announced that he would be seeking reelection to the Senate, from which he was often absent.

Reactions have been mixed following the Senator's death.  Many Populares have come forward to express their sadness, and Mideast Governor Tmthforu94 said that While I didn't disagree with all of his decisions, he certainly made a positive impact in Atlasia. With his "death", the Senate will be a duller place.  It is unclear what effect, if any, the Senator's death will have on the upcoming elections - nor is it clear what the future is of the Populares without its most prominent member and Whip.
