Its ashame that this version of Sonic the Hedgehog was cancelled. Season Twos finale The Doomsday Project was a true classic.

But you never know what could happen, if Biker Mice from Mars can make a return after being cancelled for ten years it return this year.

Please Bring Back Sonic the Hedgehog I miss it, and there are still Sonic the Hedgehog fans out there, who, like me, would also love to see it make a welcome return to our TV screens. Politicos Mike Allen, the Man the White House Wakes Up To. Allen refers to his readership as the Playbook community. He appeared wounded one morning in March when I suggested to him that his esoteric chronicle may reinforce a conceit that Washington is a closed conclave. No, no, he protested. Playbook is open, intimate. No one even edits it before it goes out, he said, which adds to his human connection to the community. Political insiderdom or the illusion thereof has moved from Georgetown salons or cordoned off security zones to a mass e mail list administrated by a never married 4. Mikey. He is part mascot and part sleepless narrator of our town, Tracy Sefl, a Democratic media consultant and a close aide to Terry Mc. Auliffe, the former Democratic National Committee chairman, told me by e mail. He is an omnipresent participant observer, abundantly kind, generous and just unpredictable enough to make him an object of curiosity to even the most self interested. Everything about him is literary. Allen darts through the political world much the way he writes Playbook in abbreviated steps, more like chops. You can spot him from far away, his shiny head darting up and often straight down into his Black. Berry. He says he gets 2,0. He is always bumping into things. In 1. 99. 3, Allen was covering a trial in Richmond, Va., for The New York Times as a stringer and The Richmond Times Dispatch which employed him. He found a pay phone, darted into the street and got whacked by a car. Allen composed himself, filed stories for both papers and then found his way to the hospital with a broken elbow. This is one of the many Mikey Stories that Washingtonians share with awe and some concern. A corollary are Mikey Sightings, a bipartisan e mail chain among prominent people who track Allens stutter stepping whereabouts his showing up out of nowhere, around corners, at odd hours, sometimes a few time zones away. He bursts in and out of parties, at once manic and serene, chronically toting gifts, cards and flower arrangements that seem to consume much of an annual income that is believed to exceed 2. Allen who is childless and owns no cars or real estate perpetually picks up meal and beverage tabs for his friend sources the dominant hybrid around Mikey. He kisses womens hands and thanks you so much for coming, even though the party is never at his home, which not even his closest friends have seen. It is as if Mikey is the host of one big party, and by showing up anywhere in Washington, you have served the Playbook community and are deserving of the impresarios thanks or Hat Tip in Playbookese. Allen also has a tendency to suddenly vanish. But then he will pop up on a TV screen a few minutes later. Or you then learn via e mail that he is racing through OHare or via Playbook that he took an excursion to the circus with Owen and Grace Gallo, ages 3 and 4, who especially liked doggies on a slide or Maine where an eagle might grab one of your fish while youre focused on the grill. Or that its Mark Paustenbachs birthday, whoever he is. Allen was the first reporter hired by Politicos founding editors, John F. Harris and Jim Vande. Hei, when they left The Washington Post to start the Web site and newspaper in 2. He is considered a Politico founding father, in the words of Harris, who, like Vande. Hei, tends to place great weight and mission onto the organization. Another construct originating outside Politico is that Harris and Vande. Hei are God and Jesus its unclear who is who and that Allen is the Holy Ghost. When I mentioned this to Allen recently, he was adamant that it is meant to be facetious and that no one at Politico really believes that. Allen, an observant Christian, said the line could be misconstrued. But Holy Ghost does seem a particularly apt description of Allens ubiquity and inscrutability. I get that what I do is a little elusive, ambiguous, Allen told me. I try to be a force for good. And I try to be everywhere. I met Allen on a hot April night at the basement bar of the Hay Adams hotel, across from the White House. I headed downstairs, and there he was, startling me in a back stairwell, reading his Black. Berry an inch from his wire rim glasses. As we entered the bar, Allen greeted two Democratic operatives at a corner table and noted that his friend source Kevin Madden, a Republican consultant, was at that moment on CNN. Allens public bearing combines the rumpledness of an old school print reporter with the sheen of a new school cross platform brand who has become accustomed to performing on camera. Every time Allen starts to speak in person or on air his eyes bulge for a split second, as if he has just seen a light go on. His mannerisms resemble an almost childlike mimicry of a politician the incessant thanking, deference, greetings, teeth clenched smiles and ability to project belief in the purity of his own voice and motivations. He speaks in quick and certain cadences, on message, in sound bites, karate chopping the table for emphasis. His work is joyful, exciting, he says. It is a privilege to work at Politico with young reporters. I love this company. I love what Im doing. And all that. Over several discussions, Allen repeated full paragraphs almost to the word. The people in this community, they all want to read the same 1. Hay Adams. And to find all of those, you have to read 1,0. And we do that for you. As a practical matter, here is how Allens 1. Cable bookers, reporters and editors read Playbook obsessively, and its easy to pinpoint exactly how an item can spark copycat coverage that can drive a story. Items become segment pieces on Morning Joe, the MSNBC program, where there are 1. Politico Playbook segments each week, more than half of them featuring Allen. This incites other cable hits, many featuring Politico reporters, who collectively appear on television about 1. There are subsequent links to Politico stories on The Drudge Report, The Huffington Post and other Web aggregators that newspaper assigning editors and network news producers check regularly. Washington narratives and impressions are no longer shaped by the grand pronouncements of big news organizations, said Allen, a former reporter for three of them The Washington Post, The New York Times and Time magazine. The smartest people in politics give us the kindling, and we light the fire. By we, Allen is referring to either Playbook or Politico. But many influentials draw a distinction. They will work to get a little twig into Mikeys kindling and read him faithfully. Politico, however, is more fraught. Nowhere is Washingtons ambivalence over Politico more evident than in the White House. The Obama and Politico enterprises have had parallel ascendancies to an extent they fashioned themselves as tech savvy upstarts bent on changing the established order of politics Obama and of how it is covered Politico. They started around the same time, early 2. On the day that Politico published its first print edition, Barack Obamas campaign manager, David Plouffe, walked into the campaigns offices and slammed a copy of the new publication on Dan Pfeiffers keyboard. This, Plouffe declared, is going to be a problem. Politico today remains a White House shorthand for everything the administration claims to dislike about Washington Beltway myopia, politics as daily sport. Yet most of the presidents top aides are as steeped in this culture as anyone else and work hard to manipulate it. Whats notable about this administration is how ostentatiously its people proclaim to be uninterested in things they are plainly interested in, Harris, Politicos editor in chief, told me in an e mail message. That Politico has been so vilified inside the White House is itself a sign of its entry into the bloodstream another Politico phrase.
