A web source discredited by most in the media claiming to speak for Al Qaeda, endorsed John McCain today and rather than just leave it be. Camp McCain couldn’t help themselves, they just had to attempt to spin it towards team Obama. Seems if Al Qaeda is endorsing John McCain, it’s called reverse propaganda intended to [...]

Another BNN  blogger has posted a smear job on Senator Obama’s mother that is beyond the pale. Such things are for the Huffpost or Andrew Sullivan, not those of use who are lowly observers of the world. Yet how many people actually know the real story of Senator Obama’s parents? Not the propaganda job at [...]

Wind your clocks back to the late 60′s, it was a truly interesting period. High in conflict, the Vietnam War was consuming Americas youth in frightening numbers, and presidential approval was so low that the only president with worse ratings is our current one, George W. Bush. You need an electron microscope and a school [...]

A co-worker I used to have was talking to me about how she believed that the world was going to end in 2012 because of the Mayan calendar.  I, being a person who relies on reason, said that no, I didn’t believe in any significance behind the dating system of a primitive people.  I was [...]

In 2004, when the original Saw was released as a relatively unknown indie horror film, who could have predicted that in 2008 the Saw franchise would be hitting its fifth film and be all but credited with the creation of a new genre of horror – torture porn? Each subsequent film has worked to heighten [...]

Jeff Beal’s score for the Ed Harris western Appaloosa opens with a gritty rattle that builds into a boot-stomping mix between epic and oater in a way that leaves little doubt that this composition will be working hard to live up to its cover artwork (featuring Ed Harris staring squint-eyed at his gun with a black-clad, goateed [...]

George and Cindy Anthony took time out of their busy schedules this morning to fly to New York and appear Live on the Today Show where they were interviewed by Meredith Viera.

I think it’s crazy that there are people out there who don’t believe that dinosaurs ever existed.  It was like during that Republican debate when the candidates were asked if they believed in a seven day creation and something like four of them raised their hands.  Fantastic.  I hear Huckabee would have nominated the Easter [...]

Everyone is talking about Joe the Plumber these days.  Only he’s not really named Joe and he’s not even a real plumber.  Who can we trust these days?  It looks like we can still turn to a talented man who really is named Bob and he really is a builder.  Now there’s a new boxed [...]

After winning an Emmy for her “I’m F*&%ing Matt Damon” video (and receiving two other Emmy nominations), Sarah Silverman has come a lot farther with her distinct brand of juvenile gross-out humor than anyone could have predicted. In 2005 she released a film version of her stage show Jesus Is Magic, which was hilariously irreverent. [...]

David Schussler This morning in an attempt to convince the American people that he is presidential, Barack Obama basically said that he is ready to protect us from terrorism, financial disaster, social ills, a John McCain presidency, and I’m sure he would have concluded warts, hail, frogs, and murrain. Obama surrounded himself with an impressive [...]

What We Do Is Secret is a biopic covering the life of punk-singer Darby Crash and his band The Germs. Called a punk “legend” by those in the know, most people probably haven’t heard of Darby Crash, or his band for that matter. This may be the reason that the movie has only grossed around [...]

Cartoons are a great way to teach character lessons.  People aren’t expecting moralizing or a meta-narrative, so their guard is down.  In between the bright colors and well-timed laughs, life lessons can slip through.  Now there is a great new collection of life lessons on DVD in the form of one of the best loved [...]

Background on the story here. The woman was clearly not your average American Mom. The person who gathered the pictures suspects that the photographer was “Frank”, Obama’s Communist “mentor”. As do many bloggers (e.g. here), he suspects that Frank was in fact Obama’s father. The two look alike. So how to establish who took the [...]

As a child, getting a new movie is simply incredible.  It doesn’t matter if a movie is good or not.  That filter usually doesn’t appear until later in high school.  The simple fact that you now have a new movie, something you’ve never seen before, is amazing.  You watch it for the first time and [...]

It is always the case that in democratic States at election time a candidate for office will spend quite a bit of time in denigrating his opponents’ fitness for office – often as much time as he spends in saying why, for positive reasons, he himself should be chosen. That’s how it is – and [...]

Yesterday, I reported that the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, a charity run by the Catholic Bishops, reported that they would not be giving any more funding to ACORN.
