Trying to suck another drop of blood from ancient bones!

How many times is Hollywood going to fall back on these limited Jesse James,Billy the Kid,Wyatt Erp legends for another,weak storyline? They're like "make work projects" for stagnated (over priced) actors and studios.

The one positive thing about this western though is that it didn't have a dolt equal to Russell Crowe in it! Yehaw!!!

Charlie Rose found out he could not substantiate a repeated lie!

Watched the interview on PBS and Charlie Rose was basically flummoxed by Ahmadinejad's cutting retorts to Mr.Rose's lame attacks.Mr.Rose who was as usual parroting his Pro Israel Zionist mantra,could only respond to Mr.Ahmadinejad's logical and disarming replies by telling Mr.Ahmadinejad's to "take that up with the Bush Govt" of "take that up with Condoleeza Rice".

In the mean time Mr.Rose was (unsuccessfully) trying to drag up anything in his arsenal to make Iran and Iraq seem like the Enemies of the Middle East while trying to promote America and Israel as being the Saviours of the Middle East!

In fact Mr.Rose couldn't counter any of Mr.Ahmadinejad's arguments about Iran's soverignty and national rights with anything factual let alone logical.Charlie Rose also could not show or demonstrate nor disprove that America and Israel were "not" in actuality,the only dangerous,greed driven aggressors in the Middle East.

Original article: Lee Bollinger's big moment

Yet another of Columbia's esteemed,guiding lights!

Would it be really far fetched to assume that Lee Bollinger is a Pro Israel Zionist? Huh? But even though Mr.Bollinger had managed to get none of his "written down" facts correct,he did prove that his truculence and vociferousness fit like a kid glove with his black close mindeness! What can anyone say except that Columbia University must feel very fortunate indeed in having such a sophisticated,well balanced and diplomatic man as one of their priceless,guiding lights!

Too Little Too Late Dan!

Dan Rather could have made quite a big impact if he had gone to the media with his story just when those events transpired.Now,years later,Mr.Rather just looks like a bitter old man whos'disgruntled only because he's had his day and the networks don't want him anymore.

If Rather,instead of willingly sucking up to the powers that be,had instead,done the moral thing and exposed the right wing,republican cover-up of Dubya Bush,then now he'd be a hero instead of a pathetic loser,which is what the right wing media owners will now brand him as!

Original article: How the Democrats blew it

Democrats never blew it!

Stating that the Democrats blew it assumes that the Democrats were in a political position that was fundamentally and philosophically different than that of the Republicians - this is certainly not the case! That wealthy elite that runs and rules the Republicians is the same bunch that rules the Democrats,the only real difference is in the party monikers.

The fact that this wealthy elite is making loads of cash,and stands to make loads more,because of Bush's Iraq war is the primary reason why no action has been taken in the US Congress to stop the war. Many Americans are astounded by this because they see that the politicians they voted for and elected, steadfastly refuse to give their views and anti-war sentiments any representation in Washington.

Whats happened is that the American form of government has in its greedy,numbing obesity become obsolete (Alvin Toffler Future Shock) and can not function as either a bastion or an arbiter of black & white morality let alone a dispenser of truth and justice.Washington has devolved into a mob mindset like that of the mafia where it sees and recognizes only two groups,the "winning" victimizers like the Bush Regime and the losing victims which includes everyone else!!

Thers no options at all for voters to fix the corrupt American government!

The presidential primaries are seemingly irrelevant considering the general public's tenacious focus on Bush and his Iraq fiasco.Even at that the public hasn't been able,even with massive protests and marches,to stop,let alone dissuade Bush and his fascists from their violence themed,corporate colonization of the middle east.

Its not too hard to perceive that the Republican and Democratic parties create and contol the game of government and that they direct the hapless voters to their chosen and loyal,henchman candidate.

So with the power of the general public's vote reduced to complete impotence,how then can this corrupt political system be changed let alone stopped?

When in the land of enchantment...

Hey come on! I mean after all it is..a fairy..tale right?

Pyromanics like to dress in staunch patriotism!

Surely the White House would be simpatico with Glen Beck for they'd recognize in him a kindred spirit and embrace this like mind characterized by greed and paranoia wherein the highest intellectual concept is "pre-emption"!

Mukaseys trying to juggle America and Israel to find his answer! !

Mukasey's hesitation in responding to the torture question may have more to do with his committment to Israel than it has to do with his duty to America.

Mukasey like Feinstein and Schumer,is a pro Israel zionist and so Mr.Mukasey is battling with the precarious proposition of wether he should do the right thing,human rights wise,and lose Bush's appointment or just keep on avoiding answering the question,while somehow getting the appointment anyway and then with his new job,inside the top levels of the U.S.Govt,it would put Mukasey in a much better position to do what he'd really like to do i.e. lobby for and help Israel!

Crowe's "Star Quality"?

Russell Crowe has the mentality and almost the requisite talent to play a B-Movie-grade thug/low life,also known as type casting.

Unfortunately Mr.Crowe's total lack of charisma or exciting allure and what was once termed "star quality" obviously hasn't been an impediment to him in todays's Hollywood.
