Director Kathryn Bigelow and her film ‘The Hurt Locker’ put the hurt on ex-hubby James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’, taking 6 Oscars including Best Picture. Some say this is a signal that Hollywood is shifting to the Right. Don’t bet the farm…a leopard does not change it’s spots.
Don’t pop the champagne yet, but the Khalid Sheik Mohammed trial – originally ordered to civilian Federal court in New York City – may be headed back to the military tribunal (where it belongs). We have already endured an administration that treated terrorism as if it was a criminal act. There is no reason that [...]
A true American hero hung up his wings – at least for now. Captain Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger announced his retirement from Southwest Airlines after a 30 year career. No one who witnessed what Sully did that day last year in the Hudson River would argue that it was nothing short of a miracle. Thanks to [...]
Last year, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had the nerve to call the Tea Party movement ‘astroturfed’ and not grass roots. A couple of weeks ago, Pelosi said that she and the Tea Partiers had a lot in common (huh??) Now, along comes the “Coffee Party’ which the Lamestream Media thinks is grass roots but is [...]
A majority of one? The Endangered Media tell the story of Sen. Jim Bunning as if her were filibustering the $10 billion jobs bill. In reality, he has lodged an objection – that Congress adheres to its recently reinstated Pay-Go rules that President Obama just signed. They give one man too much power. They could [...]
The Japanese are quite the apologetic ones these days. First, it was Toyota’s chief Akio Toyoda apologizing to customers, shareholders and even the US Congress. Now, Japan’s government is apologizing for calling a tsunami alert in the wake of the Chilean earthquake. They must be taking Obama lessons.
While the President, Senators and Representatives are arguing the fate of the healthcare bill, there is was a new assisted suicide product: Web 2.0 Suicide Machine. When you’re ready to end it all (social networking, that is), all you need is the Suicide Machine and with the click of a mouse, checks you out of [...]
We saw the marine and the human worlds clash. Tilikum, a 6 ton orca at SeaWorld Orlando kills a trainer and a break in a 3 inch shark tank glass starts a flood in a Dubai mall. They say bad news comes in threes? I hope not!
President Obama’s administration is ready to bring ‘The Chicago Way’ to the healthcare discussion. Tomorrow, the President and members of both parties will have a little sit-down at Blair House. One term I don’t imagine hearing is ‘pretty please?’.
Soon, banks fees for overdrafts and covering checks will be capped by new regulations. So what are the banks going to do to replace $10-15 billion in lost revenue? PAYDAY LOANS! Yep, for a measly $10 bucks for each $100 you borrow, you too can get a payday loan. No need to go to the [...]
