Video: The Sarah Palin Voter’s Guide
Politics • Views: 6,939
DC Douglas’s video from a few weeks ago seems like a parody, but every bugeyed crazy quote he attributes to Palin’s “mama grizzlies” is real.

I am especially saddened that more Republicans are not willing to speak out against the crazy wing of their party. I will always be proud that I voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984. I am horrified that people like Christine O'Donnell, Sharron Angle, and Sarah Palin are thought to be Reagan's successors. It is particularly unfortunate to see Peggy Noonan, a speechwriter of Reagan's whom I used to greatly admire, seemingly not all that interested in how PROFOUND the differences are between Ronald Reagan and these people. It makes sense that the Reagan family never got on the crazy-bandwagon. I feel I need to apologize to President Reagan for the fact that people would even think to associate him with these crazies, simply because no one else apparently will bother to make the apology. Nothing to see here, move along... in the new century, seeing is for other countries, not us.

Unfortunately the crazy wing of the party has taken over, so the reluctance to speak out against them is pure self-preservation. Getting called a RINO can be dangerous to the health of a politician's career (see Bennett, Castle, et al), so the moderate and sane ones keep quiet.

OK, must report back on my conversation with my Yellow Dog Democrat Aunt in Las Vegas. She's a sage, who loves to brag about her Watergate afghan, she watched every single hearing on TV while crocheting this thing.
She said that Harry is a tough old guy, reminded me that he was a boxer (huh?) in his youth.
Her opinion was that he held back in the debate so not to turn off the majority of the electorate. She said to watch out for his new ads. (and he did release one today attacking Angle in the debate)
I'm going to look up the boxing stuff soon.

Yes, Reid was a boxer in his youth. The local a.m. radio stations love to make fun of his biography. Heidi Harris and her listeners were going on and on this morning about how Angle clearly won the debate last night. It made me wonder if we watched the same debate.

And by the way ... that's it? That's all they have? "St. Pancake," a phrase I never used, and didn't like?
It was crass and tasteless and that's why I didn't like it. But even if I HAD used it, this is pretty weak stuff with which to argue that I'm an evil monster and must be shunned by all decent people forever. Thank the gods I never blogged while I was a touring musician. "St. Pancake" wouldn't have even raised eyebrows on a tour bus.
It's an essentially dishonest ploy on a very basic level too, because many of the people who are using it know very well it's a smear, and not true.
Absolutely. What also bothers me are the lies about things like "He banned me for downdinging." But that would be "stealth downdinging" except they leave out the stealth part. Going through thread after thread and downdinging every comment by someone they didn't like, even if the person posted "Goodnight" or "Hello" etc. Using your dings as a grudge lol

I remember when I was a little girl there was still this whole thing about how you had to be 'careful' about being a vegetarian, because you wouldn't get enough iron, or protein, or whatever. No one even thinks about that today, although pure vegans need supplements.
I think that when more people ate a 1950s-cookbook-style 'American' diet, it was a lot harder.

Lack of protein or rather not being able to assimilate vegetable protein. I will say, though, I was a migraine sufferer and I never had a migraine the 5 years I was a veggie. They came back after I started eating meat again. Actually, I don't eat much anyway.

I do worry that if Obama wins a second term, the girls won't be able to, say, braid their hair as they get older. The racial politics of a teenage Malia's hair in an unacceptably non-white style would be ugly. Eh, maybe things have changed.

re: #167 SanFranciscoZionist
I remember when I was a little girl there was still this whole thing about how you had to be 'careful' about being a vegetarian, because you wouldn't get enough iron, or protein, or whatever. No one even thinks about that today, although pure vegans need supplements.
I think that when more people ate a 1950s-cookbook-style 'American' diet, it was a lot harder.
At one point, I broke out in an awful rash. I went to a dermatologist who gave me topical cream, but it kept coming back. I was eating a lot of dairy so I stopped and the rash nearly vanished overnight. So then I was a vegan. Now that was really hard. After a few months, I started eating dairy little by little and was never bothered with the rash again.

re: #163 Fat Bastard Vegetarian
I never understood the anemia thing from veggies I keep hearing about. I've never had a single health problem from it.
It's because the iron in most vegetables is not well absorbed by us. So people who say spinach is a good source of iron are in fact wrong - it has lots, but we don't absorb it well unless it is eaten in certain combinations (orange juice and coffee, from memory, or maybe orange juice and bacon). You never got anaemic because you are a man, and a fat bastard, if I may be so bold. Women get anaemic because they bleed and notice it when they aren't getting the iron.

I'm not sure if Maverick beef is buffalo. Whenever I've seen it, it's clearly marked buffalo. I suppose labeling requirements vary from place to place.
There are some buffalo ranches in this state, and a couple of the major supermarket chains carry it.
Buffalo are big, fast, nasty, and smell terrible.
I prefer the beef to the buffalo actually. Buffalo tastes a bit gamey to me.

And it's not a smear to ask, "Where did your funding come from?"
The smear is ThinkProgress claiming the CoC is using foreign money to fund campaign ads without any proof.
A smear is more along the lines of "Obama is getting his contributions from outside sources, so he's being funded by al-Qaeda and loves terrorists."

According to TP it's over $100K from Bahrain alone, $200K from India, and the Russian operation won't divulge how much they've sent in. That's only three countries and zero transparency, but hey, they say they have "safeguards" and that's good enough for you.

A man named Mike Hotard, owner of Hotard Wildlife Control, has discovered the Patterdale terrier is highly-effective at helping rid an area of nutria.

"Republicans offered to negotiate?" The entire gop strategy for the last two years has been a refusal to cooperate with Dems on anything. It's what got the tea party base of the gop so fired up.
There's no reason the Dems would think they could peel off any Republicans; they've had virtually no success with that.

If you are ever in New Zealand, I found a great place to get some fresh possum...
Pete's Possum Pies and Pete's Possum Pate produced at Pukekura are now available for distribution to outlets through out New Zealand .
The possum used in our products have all been MAF inspected and processed though a certified plant according to New Zealand food standards. By eating a possum you are helping the New Zealand environment. We guarantee our pies are of a very high standard and have been entered into the Bakels Pie Olympics held in July 2004
We currently have a number of outlets in the south island and are now working in outlets in the north
These are a gourmet pie with a unique NZ flavour. Possum has been likened to the flavour of chicken, mutton, rabbit and even guinea pig. However we conclude possum tastes like possum.
We use a commercial pastry, flaky top and savoury base prices available on request. If you have an interest in purchasing this 100% NZ product, contact us by either phone or email.

In Golden Gate Park, early in the morning, you'll see feral cats and raccoons parked side by side, eating the cat food the little old ladies bring them.
Raccoons are highly adaptive and intelligent, they'll take advantage of any opportunities for free food that presents itself. I've seen them come within a couple of feet of people feeding them. I admire the raccoons, but think the people are stupid. Raccoons, as docile as they can appear, are still wild. Domesticating animals takes hundreds/thousands of generations.

Raccoons can appear docile, and act docile, but you never know what'll set 'em off, startle them, and if you do - all bets are off. My grandmother was bitten by a raccoon once - was in the hospital for a week, on antibiotics, and more antibiotics once she was out. Don't mess with 'em.

OOH, I love those webs, too.
Near where I live, there is a swamp that's been made into a park, with walkways through it. I was there once, no one else around, and saw just such a web, it was HUGE, and the sun was shining just right on it, it was gorgeous.

What was Fox News trying to get from the Dems?
I don't know. The story you linked to just said that Fox used to split its donations fairly evenly. But these days they don't and they have no reason to. Even if they were to turn back into the Fox News of 2007 (which I would love), the Dems would still attack them. Fox News is something of a boogyman to some quarters of the left.
Note: This does not, repeat not excuse the bad stories Fox has showcased, nor does it justify Glenn Beck.

Obama's half brother in Kenya says he married teen
President Barack Obama's polygamist half brother in Kenya has married a woman who is more than 30 years younger than him.
The 19-year-old's mother told The Associated Press on Friday she is furious that her daughter quit high school and married the 52-year-old.
Mary Aoko Ouma says her daughter tried to marry Malik Obama two years ago, but the mother says she wouldn't give permission.
Malik Obama, who is Muslim, has two other wives. Polygamy is legal in Kenya if it falls under religious or cultural traditions.
In an interview broadcast by Kenya's NTV that was filmed without his knowledge, Malik Obama says he married the 19-year-old but didn't say when.

The Roi shot him, and got him out of the house.

Raccoons are highly adaptive and intelligent, they'll take advantage of any opportunities for free food that presents itself. I've seen them come within a couple of feet of people feeding them. I admire the raccoons, but think the people are stupid. Raccoons, as docile as they can appear, are still wild. Domesticating animals takes hundreds/thousands of generations.
Raccoons are the street fighters of the animal kingdom.

The O'Reilly Factor is Fox's top rated show, not Glenn Beck's program. Beck has a large and loyal following, but his early timeslot means he doesn't have O'Reilly's viewership.
First off, if you don't know what Fox wanted from the Dems, then why bring it up as if the Dems let them down?
Second, Beck is just O'Reilly (and Hannity) with a little more Jesus and crying thrown in. As for ratings, it's not so simple. Beck wins the highly coveted 25-54 demo at least some of the time. Admittedly that's probably Fox's smallest overall demo, as their major appeal seems to be to people who think O'Reilly is a youngster.

Because it seemed noteworthy that they had given money to the Dems. It was to make it clear that both parties had taken Fox money in the past and tto help make the case that Fox money was not somehow tainted.

Raccoons are the street fighters of the animal kingdom.
I got in a fight with three raccoons once. Nasty buggers. I heard weird noises and animal screeching and ran to the deck. Three of them had one of my cats pinned underneath them. So without even thinking I charged and just started kicking them off. They got off and ran down the stairs and the cats ran under the BBQ. Nasty things started coming back up the deck so I just started grabbing anything a could and chucking them at them. Plant pots, chairs and then found a broom and started whacking.
They finally left and there's me guarding the stairs and the rest of my family standing there in their pj's going wtf? Scared my Mom to see me go all crazy like that.

It's not really that noteworthy that they gave some money to Dems. Corporations hedge their bets all the time when it comes to contributions. Moreover, the amounts were relatively small and now seem to be more in line with Fox's overarching ideological project.

I KNOW I've told this story here before but; a dog-walking friend of mine once had her terrier attacked by a raccoon. The terrier won't back down--it's a TERRIER--and the racoon is kicking its ass. My friend is screaming her head off in the middle of a Richmond District neighborhood. Windows slam open up and down the block, and someone screams, "I'm calling the cops!"
Then the door of the house this is all happening in front of busts open, and a guy comes charging down wearing no shirt, Doc Martens, and wielding a baseball bat, yelling "Where is he, lady?"
She showed him the raccoon, and he kicked it a couple of times. It went away.

Hissing, growling, fur up and all that? There was none of that. My alpha kitty came up to him and he just grabbed him by the throat and threw him down. I freaked. Fur was flying off my cat and I knew I would never pull them apart so I grabbed the water dish and dumped it on them. They immediately broke up.
I wonder if it would work for wild critters? Keep the garden hose handy for such incidents. It's not that they don't like the water per se. I think it's just the shock of having water dumped on them. And it's safer than beating a raccoon to death.

Yeah a garden hose would probably work. If one had been there and turned on I probably would have used it. My reaction was just so automatic though I just used what I had. It was a weird experience because it wasn't until after the fact that I sat back and thought about what I actually did. My sister who was quite young at the time said that after that she always knew that 'big sis' would jump in and protect her if needed which was kinda cool. :)

Did anyone watch Bill Maher tonight? I got to see him agree with Bill O'Reilly about the evil mooslims. I was pretty disappointed about it so I registered an account over at HBO and posted:
I don't understand how this was passed off so easily. The distinction that needs to be drawn is that the people that attacked us on 9/11 were TERRORISTS first, Muslim extremists second, and Muslims third. Building on the assumption that they were Muslims first feeds into a xenophobic and bigoted world view that extremists on the right have tried to perpetuate as fact. This is the assumption that crazed Pamela Geller is espousing all the time along with her skinhead friends over in Europe.
I'm really disappointed that you make this leap because I don't think it's very fair. If an extremist Christian group ran the planes into 9/11 I wouldn't say that Christians attacked us on 9/11 and make that broad brush of fear across an entire religious group to ostracize them and alienate them further into the "them" category instead of the "us" category.
I'm a young Atheist but I do not believe that the majority of people that practice major religions are evil and especially when one particular group is coming under increased persecution.
And if you don't like the Christian analogy because of a deep seated hatred for everything that is religion, then let's use the analogy to black people in the pre-Civil Rights era. If someone in the 1940's commented on a murder or rape and said "black people killed this person" or "black people raped this woman" it would be factually correct, but ethically dishonest. It should be "there was a murderer that killed someone" or "a man raped a woman" instead of a comment that inspires hatred or fear of a whole group of people.
Hopefully that hits for someone.

I'm almost certain that it would work, for exactly the reasons you described. (Pro tip: probably not a reliable defense against actual mama grizzlies)
Every dog I've ever had cowered in terror from The Agonizer, which is a squirt bottle filled with tapwater. Any undesirable behavior could be instantly halted with one or two squirts. Effective, completely humane and guilt-free.
Its name comes from a Star Trek torture device used by Evil Bearded Spock in a parallel universe to punish crew members' trivial infractions.
That doesn't work on my new LGD pup. I can full on spray her with the hose and while momentarily distracted she's right back at whatever she's doing and usually just get pissed off. In dog language she gives me a big FU bark. That's her nature though and while annoying as a pup when she's doing puppy things it's a trait to be prized in the work she'll being doing when facing off coyotes and other critters. No grizzlies around here to worry about but if there were she'd stand up against them too. I saw video of several of these dogs facing off against a grizzly. It was incredible.

In Texas, marrying a third wife (while still married to the other two) is illegal, so I would probably be rather concerned with that, yes.
But wealthy men marrying much younger trophy wives is not even slightly startling.

Here is a perfect example of what a troll does.
I'm not ABOUT to get in the middle of the lovers' spat playing out, but that's not trolling.
A true troll (and there are far fewer of them in the wild than is commonly thought) is an artist as well as a scientist. Merely being annoying, unpleasant, or taunting is not trolling. Real trolling is like throwing a spark on dry, flammable material and watching it quickly ignite. It is not like using a blowtorch over damp wood for hours to force it to ignite. A competent troll would compose a single exquisitely crafted post that would start a shitstorm, not by others reacting to the post itself, but by one non-troll person reacting to the troll post in a way that inadvertently inflames other non-trolls, at which point they go at each other and soon forget all about the original troll that lit the fuse. A failed troll would go around being unpleasant incessantly, mostly being ignored, and only on rare occasion getting an inflamed response purely due to volume.

Yeah they will. They were bred to protect sheep when out on range. Most people never see what they're capable of when the 'protect' instinct kicks in. Most of the time they are like big docile babies, especially when just as a regular house pet. They're like a lions secreted in fluffy teddy bear bodies. :)
When I was looking at the different breeds I read one account of a sheep herder who works with a pack of them. Two of them got into a scrap with another dog. Lasted less then a couple of minutes. When they rushed the dog to the vet the vet asked whether the car that hit the dog had stopped. The owners said no it was a dog fight but the vet wouldn't believe it because of the type of injuries. Broken bones and impact damage like a car does. So they aren't biters and tearers they're like linebackers.
I can believe it. My dog is quite playful and she will charge and bang into you. Even at four months it can knock you off balance.

Professor retracts Mr. Rogers smears.
Yesterday, ThinkProgress noted that Fox News was participating in an effort to “blame Mr. Rogers” for the “sense of entitlement” among some children today. The criticism of Mr. Rogers stemmed from Don Chance, a finance professor at Louisiana State University. Chance later contacted Fox News to issue a statement retracting his attacks:
The reference to Mr. Rogers was just a metaphor. I have no professional qualifications to evaluate the real problems or propose solutions. Mr. Rogers was a great American. I watched him with my children and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again if I had young children.
Chance’s lack of “professional qualifications” didn’t prevent from the mainstream media from catapulting his propaganda.

More spectacular, maybe. A nineteen-year-old woman can marry any single man she wants in any state of the Union, and all the countries I know about where women can marry without family consent. This isn't a good decision, by my lights, but my GF who got married a couple weeks ago recalls how every girl in her high school wanted to be engaged by graduation, and then get married the summer after they got their high school diploma.
This is a dumb decision on this girl's part--maybe, I don't know her, or this man--but it's supremely mundane in the great scheme of things. She's not twelve and married against her will, which also happens all the time, and worries me far more.

The Soviets often got divorced young too--but the only way to get an apartment in the old USSR was to get married. No real way to shack up.
Marjane Satrapi got married at 21--her family wouldn't allow it earlier--partly because in Iran you just couldn't have a relationship outside marriage, and so people married quite young even in her family's educated and secular circles. Her father told them that he insisted that she have the right to divorce in the wedding documents, and told them to divorce when they no longer loved each other because life's too short.

Her father told them that he insisted that she have the right to divorce in the wedding documents, and told them to divorce when they no longer loved each other because life's too short.
Right, that makse sense. Marjane Satrapi? Is that the woman who wrote Persepolis? Saw that with my brother over the summer. Found it a very eye opening look at Iran.

re: #602 SanFranciscoZionist
More spectacular, maybe. A nineteen-year-old woman can marry any single man she wants in any state of the Union, and all the countries I know about where women can marry without family consent. This isn't a good decision, by my lights, but my GF who got married a couple weeks ago recalls how every girl in her high school wanted to be engaged by graduation, and then get married the summer after they got their high school diploma.
This is a dumb decision on this girl's part--maybe, I don't know her, or this man--but it's supremely mundane in the great scheme of things. She's not twelve and married against her will, which also happens all the time, and worries me far more.
I think what made this an AP story was she becoming his third wife. If she became his only wife I don't think it would have been considered newsworthy.

re: #607 Jadespring
I was engaged at 19 and came close to getting married at 20. Luckily I didn't because it wouldn't have worked. My Mom said she was so relieved when we broke up even though she supported it at the time. She knew nothing she said would have changed my mind.
It wasn't so long ago that marriage at this age range was pretty common here as well. Not married by 25. Omg spinster old maid!! It's not even that uncommon now just way less common then it once was.
Yeah I know marrying younger used to be much more common. People in my generation (Gen Y) are marrying older and older it seems.

I figured maybe their size alone made them intimidating, but didn't figure them for being especially physical. Very interesting.

D.N.C. Spokesman’s Former Group Didn’t Disclose Donors Either
Brad Woodhouse, spokesman for the Democratic National Committee, is the latest ally of President Obama to go after the dangers of undisclosed money in the political process.
In a letter sent yesterday to editorial board members at news organizations across the country, Mr. Woodhouse excoriated the collection and use of the money in the current elections.
“Anonymous special interests and unnamed corporations are pouring tens of millions of dollars into electoral politics this fall, money that has the potential to tip the scales in close races across the country,” Mr. Woodhouse wrote in the letter. He lamented the “pernicious effects of secret, special interest money.”
But just a couple of years back, Mr. Woodhouse was the president of a political organization that took donations without disclosing the identities of the donors.

Bill White in the Texas Gov race. Actually quite sane, not corrupt, ept, and won't get within ten points of Governor Goodhair. It's Texas.
OK, I'll grant you that one. I'd vote for a box of broken crayons before I'd vote for Perry. I just love the fact that he's never had a private sector job in his entire life, but successfully campaigned against Kay Bailey Hutchinson on the platform that she was the "Washington establishment", while he was some kind of mavericky renegade outsider.

re: #555 APox
I would definitely agree that it is race baiting but I also think that if there was a story posted years back that Bush's brother married a teenager that I would probably be heralding it as evidence of what Texas culture is like.
I'm hyper-sensitive to race baiting with Obama because it is apparent that the extreme right is trying to set Obama as not one of us Americans, but still...
That's not what McCain wanted. He and some of his advisors had the class not to make Rev. Wright into a divisive "Obama hates America" issue.
But then came Palin, who immediately changed the tenor of the campaign in her first stump speech: "He just doesn't love America the way we do." Classic us vs. them xenophobic race baiting.

His problem is the same as Jeb Bush's. The country doesn't really want a third Bush presidency in 20 years. Likewise, being governor of TX (and Bush's almost handpicked successor) just doesn't have a winning ring to it.

Do you realize any of the following?
Most of the increase in the unemployment rate happened while Bush was still prez.
The CBO projections for 2009 deficit were for 1 trillion+. These projections were made before Obama took office and would have applied to McCain as well; such is the nature of huge structural deficits.
Taxes haven't gone up. If you're so sure they're about to, you must have a crystal ball. They probably should go up, as a balanced budget is nearly impossible without tax hikes. But with gop majorities in congress, there's no chance of tax hikes. It's the one campaign promise they have to keep because they haven't put much else on the table.

There's a fairly good chance that the economy would still suck and got to the suckage no matter who was in charge, especially since many of the reasons it sucks are outside of any one parties or political purvue and/or were set in motion at times when different sides were in charge(like various financial regs that came in under both parties over the past few decades). And you'll find people on all sides supporting or not supporting (at one time or another) policies and strategies that mushed together and led to the suckage. Of course each side will argue that it's the other guy or gal is more at fault and blame who ever is in charge at the time it happened but that's politics. Sorting through the mess is the fun part. The current suckage is a result of a lot longer then 6 years of one particular parties rule. Some of the strings go back through several administrations.

40% of Americans support the HCR bill. Many of the 50% who don't think it should have gone farther. (As always 10% aren't sure.) So your assertion that "most Americans don't want it" sounds good but isn't really accurate.
As for bills passed, most are hundreds of pages. Many are thousands of pages. Members of both parties routinely vote for bills they haven't fully read. You really think that all supporters of the Patriot Act or the Medicare Rx plan read and understood every word?

Has anyone been following the foreclosure debacle of late? I read this story yesterday:
Mortgage Damage Spreads
Big Bank Stocks Hit Again as Modern Finance Collides With the Legal System
[Link: online.wsj.com...]
The banks are saying it's only going to take a few months to get the situation under control, it's all fine just a matter of not taking their time with the paperwork. Sounds good until you read these:
Foreclosure Fraud: It's Worse Than You Think
[Link: www.cnbc.com...]
Josh Rosner: “Could Violations of PSA’s Dwarf Lehman Weekend?”
[Link: www.nakedcapitalism.com...]
Don't Listen To Me, Listen to Legal Experts
[Link: market-ticker.org...]
It appears that in many instances during the mortgage securitization process over the past few years, the paperwork was not properly transferred. If the paperwork was not transferred in the legally required manner, it raises questions not only about who owns the mortgages in question but also about the validity and tax exempt status of the trusts in which the mortgages reside.
.......
In his best case scenario, these issues are deemed merely technical in nature and are successfully resolved but it takes at least year to do so and all foreclosures are delayed by at least a year. Levitin disputed the claim by banks that these issues can be resolved in a month or so and attributed the banks’ claims to “legal posturing.” In the medium case scenario, litigation ensues and it takes years to sort out these matters. In the worst case scenario, the aforementioned issues become a “systemic problem” which causes the mortgage market to grind to a halt as title insurers refuse to insure mortgages involving existing homes.
It looks to me like the mortgage industry is based on piles of what could turn out to be worthless paper with no one being able to prove who actually owns the home or who is actually entitled to collect on the mortgages. This could turn out to be incredibly ugly.

That's probably why they tried to sneak in that "fix" last week, if they don't change the rules retroactively to cover the banks asses over the last few years it could all blow up on us.
My spouse worked for a title company for awhile. We were talking about this current mess and she pointed out that there are dozens and dozens of rules that had to be complied with at the time of sale or else it wasn't actually considered sold, both at the initial sale and when the bank turned around and sold mortgages to other banks. If the current mortgage holder can't prove that chain of custody (for lack of a better term) then how are they going to determine who actually owns the properties?

Me, too. When we purchased this home three years ago, we put down more in cash than what the home is currently worth, and still have a mortgage. Unfortunately, since the mortgage didn't go through a bunch of hands, I doubt that the paperwork got lost or that stuff is missing. *sigh*

Rise up from wet black asphalt

Of the long gone age of privacy
It takes a scary kind of illness
To design a place like this for pay
Downtown's an endless generic mall
Of video games and fast food chains
One by one
The little houses are bricked up and condemned
A subtle hint to move
Before the rats move in
This could be anywhere
This could be everywhere
Those new kids at school seem cool
But dad says not to talk to them
Stick to your old friends
They're not our kind
So now there's lots of fights
So many people I know
Come of age tense and bitter-eyed
Can't create so they just destroy
C'mon!
Let's set someone's dog on fire
Empty plastic
Culture slum suburbia
Is a war zone now
Sprouting the kinds of gangs
We thought we'd left behind
This could be anywhere
This could be everywhere
Kids at school are taking sides
Along color and uniform lines
My dad's gone and bought a gun
He says he's fed up
With crime in this town
This could be anywhere
This could be everywhere
This could be anywhere
This could be everywhere
Anywhere
Everywhere
I hope I'm gone before it explodes
I linger late at night
Waiting for the bus
No amount of neon jazz
Could hide the oozing vibes of death
My dad's a vigilante now
He's bringing home these weird-ass friends
Like the guy who fires blanks at his TV
When Kojak's on
Or the guy who shows off his submachine gun
To his sixteen-year-old daughter's friends
Whose sense of pride and hope
Is being in the police reserve
This could be anywhere
This could be everywhere-Everywhere

Whitson, who was facing a battery charge, was being escorted to Hendricks Circuit Court in Danville when the incident occurred. He and two officers from the Sugar Creek Juvenile Justice Center in Ladoga had just gotten off the third-floor elevator when the teen ran about 20 feet to the railing and leaped over, Yetter said.The teen was handcuffed and wearing leg shackles. Yetter said it seemed as if the officers followed proper procedures. He didn't expect any procedures would change because of the incident.
Maybe they should add "keep a little better grip on them so they can't toss themselves over the damn edge" to those procedures.

Yeah seems hit or miss, it does have Scott behind it going for it though. Honestly, what bothers me about all the prequels and remakes we're seeing is there are so many great ideas out there left to be untapped and also a number of books that could be adapated for film. I read Frank McCourt's second book, Tis over the summer and I really think it could make a good movie.

Yeah seems hit or miss, it does have Scott behind it going for it though. Honestly, what bothers me about all the prequels and remakes we're seeing is there are so many great ideas out there left to be untapped and also a number of books that could be adapated for film. I read Frank McCourt's second book, Tis over the summer and I really think it could make a good movie.
I'm not so sure about Riddley Scott. He made some crappy Robin Hood remake recently, He might be out of ideas.

She's a throwback in a way Sarah Palin isn't. Palin isn't feminist, per say, but she is active in a very "outdoors and athletic" way that is not seen as traditionally feminine.

I'll second that, just watched it. That movie was a mess despite the actors and budget.

Some of it is real, though its certainly exaggerated for political purposes. It'll be further exaggerated when her TV show premieres on The Learning Channel soon. I've seen the previews. They don't fool me, but someone less aware of who she is might be won over.

I watched Beck during lunch yesterday at a local eatery. Two guys were on talking about scientists and their beliefs in theology. It sounded like scientists are the new 'university professors,' a new group that is not to be trusted.

I just don't think the Hollywood system is capable of making decent movies anymore. There's too much money in crappy movies with dazzling effects and generic plot points.

I think that's been the tactic for a while. Demonize the scientists. And as for the college professors it's obviously only for those who disagree with them. Nary a peep out of David Horowitz's mouth about my school (GMU) and its economics department. I heard from an economics major aquaintence that one of the questions on one of her exams was "Why is the Obamacare plan bad for the country." Not why or why not mind you why is it bad.

Hollywood still does make good movies at times (The Town was quite good) but they'll naturally focus their efforts where they can make the most money. It's also relevant that Hollywood now makes many of their movies for the global market. That explains the focus of special effects and generic plot points, as those are universal. Great drama is often culturally relative and what may be seen as great in the US may receive a derisive snort in other countries.

I agree, but this seemed more like the crafting of a more sophisticated meme as opposed to a general assault.
Not to be too cynical but I had a fleeting thought of Haing S Nor in The Killing Fields trying to convince somebody that he was a taxi driver.
