I found this very interesting piece on Big Journalism - http://bigjournalism.com/mwalsh/2010/01/27/the-loony-left-remember-when-the-media-was-honest/#more-12870
Watch this 60 minutes from the early eighties and tell me if there is not something very familiar and scary about this. What happened in the UK 25+ years ago seems like what is happening here, now.

Blaming (your) God
Much has been said about Pat Robertson's comments blaming the tragety in Haiti on a pact with the Devil. Here is Robert Gibb's take on the issue - http://www.breitbart.tv/utterly-stupid-white-house-weighs-in-on-robertson-comments/ Here is Don Imus' comments - http://www.breitbart.tv/imus-pat-robertson-should-be-put-to-sleep/
I agree that these comments are not helpful and border on hateful. The idea of blaming innocent people for a natural disaster is just wrong. This kind of thinking is what lead to witch trials and inquisitions and has no place in modern society. Pat Robertson has the right to believe what he wants and it is right that he be called out on these comments.
I wonder how much Danny Glover will be ridiculed for his position on this? http://blogs.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/timblair/index.php/dailytelegraph/comments/pact_with_gaia/
Seems that Mr. Glover thinks there may be some connection between efforts to curb Global Warming and what has happened in Haiti. Is this any less outrageous? Is he not just as deserving of redicule? He does not care about the people in Haiti he only care about the opportunity this presents for the Obama administration. Sounds like he interviewing for a job. What a nut...

Long Time No Posts
Well, I managed to let a pretty good start to this blog but then I let it slip. I am not sure what happened. I mean, there was plenty to talk about with health care and attempted terrorism, it just never made it here.
Here is an article from Fox News I found several months ago but never posted. It just points out how much the president talk about himself in his speeches.
This is an interesting story about how some people want to kill themselves after they see Avatar. Must be a pretty great move to trigger such strong responses from the audience.
Steven Crowder, at Big Hollywood, has a great video essay about the future of America. Will it go the way of Detroit? This one is scary.
I am a very strong believer that ALL movies have a message(s). Sometimes the messages are very obvious and other times they are not so obvious. Sometimes the message is intentional on the part of the writer/director and other times it is unintentional. It is also true that sometimes the writing or directing is so inept that the message is lost but it is there. My wife is a huge fan of the Twilight books and movies and she would probably disagree with this article about the lessons girls learn from Twilight.
