I just saw the movie “Stardust” this afternoon. It really is pretty good. It’s family fare, sorta (maybe too many stabbings for anyone under 12), but if you are going on a date with the wife or girlfriend, this is a good pick. It would make a great double feature with “The Princess Bride”. The entire movie is well-cast, with the exception of the ship’s captain (you’ll see) and Claire Danes is radiant (literally and movie fx-wise). Funny, sweet, lots of adventure and fun visuals!
I don’t know anything about the book or the comic, so maybe the fanboys might have a different opinion. But for the average movie goer and the fantasy/sci-fi junky like me, I got my money’s worth.
skipping channels tonight…I caught a fauxnews show on “the surge” and what looked like yet another American general “reporting” from Iraq. I don’t remember his exact words but basically he said that we would now be told the truth about whether or not the surge was working and that a positive comment in support of the surge was patriotic and that a negative comment meant that you were working with the terrorists. Dear Lord, I hope that I am not the only one to grasp the full meaning (never mind the sheer contradictory irony) of this and to SEE where their latest propaganda campaign is headed. If we don’t do something fast, we are all about to become America’s version of wwII Germany’s Jews. This is scary, scary stuff, and it cannot be allowed to escalate - it must be “nipped in the bud”, immediately.
Please grab a DVD version of my videos and make sure that all your relatives, your friends, and your neighbors see it - before it’s too late. Hurry…grab a copy, while you still can.
how rich. It’s a commercial that doesn’t even need editing. I should be played constantly - maybe for the upcoming 6th anniversary of 9/11. Cowardous chicken-hawks don’t want more war until it’s their more war.
has anyone else noticed how the cockiness and the boldness of the neocons has returned (to it’s former high) now that they know that many democrats are with them and that the democratic party won’t stand in their way?
This is posted on Malkin’s Hot Air believe it or not. The comments are running along the lines of “ah yes, but 9/11 changed everything.” It’s amazing how that 9/11 mantra can disrupt reasoning even today.
Man oh man, those are my arguments agaianst the war. If I beleive those things today does that mean I will turn into a sociopath like Dick Cheney in 15 years?
So they knew they were going to create chaos. So of all the countries in the region, which country would want a chaotic Iraq? Good question . . . . . whose lookin’ out for yoose guys.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last six years, it’s that Orwell was not exaggerating. Reality really is completely malleable to these people. They’ll say one thing on Monday, and insist the opposite has always been true on Tuesday. “Reality” is whatever serves their immediate purposes.
I don’t expect our corrupt corporate media to note these blatant contradictions and convenient about-faces. The really disheartening thing is that so many regular people seem blind to it.
Yo-Ho, which way does the wind blow? Seems he says whatever he thinks appropriate for whatever time it is and how much he can gain by it. He was against it before he was for it. What a putz.

When Orwell wrote “1984″ he had the Soviet Union in mind. I think he’d be appalled to see what has happened to the U.S.
Hey hadenuf sto using wikipedia as a source of truth. The web is the wild west when it comes to truth.
Try this regarding Steinbeck:
“But by the end of the trip, the anti-communist Steinbeck had realized the war was more complex than he had thought and that Johnson was not giving Americans a full picture of what was going on, according to Steinbeck scholar and San Jose State University Professor Susan Shillinglaw.”
Man, who put that website together - a fucking 12 year old?? I mean the Ace of Spades with crossed swords is juvenile enough, but what’s with the flaming skull?? Like I said, it looks like it was put together by a 12 year old while hiding out in his tree house - the one with the “no gurls aloud” sign on the door.
In 2000, I voted for Bush/Cheney because I thought they would be much less internationalist / meddling that Gore / Lieberman. I thought their foreign policy would be ‘humble’.
I found Cheney to be reassuring since he was from the Bush 41’s cabinet and thought there would be a return to adults running foreign policy.
It is difficult not watching the incredibly moving 9/11 Press for Truth on Free Speech TV and not feel a sense of outrage at not only the administration but at the media for failing to go after the administration’s claim that they had no idea that terrorists might use planes as weapons inside the United States. As Paul Thomson states in the film, if he as an amateur was able to find out the information that belied the administration’s story, then certainly the mainstream media should have been able to do the same thing, As former CIA analyst Ray McGovern pointed out, 80 per cent of the information was available yet the mainstream media failed to connect the dots. Failure to protect this country from being attacked is simply another reason why Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, et al, should be impeached.

I would think that would belong in the parallel universe. In this dimension? He should have a tattoo on the top of his head that says “Kill the wabbit”.

O.K. Mr Cheney. Could you explain again why we invaded Iraq?

Let’s see. 1934 and Germany was heading towards Nazi fascism. 2007 and America is heading towards Nazi fascism.
How do you feel now, smike?
Well smike, I feel pretty stupid.
And I am going to go right on feeling stupid too.
It is my mission in life to show these NeoTurds just how stupid I really am.
Gawd damn but I am one just totally stupid bastard!

I agreed with every word Dick Cheney said.
