Share on Facebook (Radio Free 3D does not necessarily resemble this picture). Eric is back at the con this week (thank GOD!), with Floyd, JohnFN and Rich. The meltdown – both economic and of the Obama/Reid/Pelosi variety – along with both whiney, has-been rock stars and the ranks of the underrated provide lively topics of discussion. And, as a [...] This is a video detailing the events surrounding the death of CPL Jon Ayers who was a machine gunner in the 173rd Airborne. While serving in Afghanistan he died at his machine gun while defending his brothers from enemy attack. He was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for his actions. To read more about this please [...] There are many writers whom I take in and wish out-loud – damn, why can’t I ever be that brilliant? TV doesn’t have the same effect on me, but occasionally someone comes along that hits me square in the face. RedEye is that someone. What’s not to love about RedEye and Greg Gutfeld? Irreverent? Highly. Politically [...] Via Jules Crittenden comes this story about the former Miss Venezuela, who is now Miss Universe visiting GITMO, and enjoying it. This week, Guantánamo!!! It was an incredible experience. We arrived in Gitmo on Friday and stared going around the town, everybody knew Crystle and I were coming so the first thing we did was attend [...] I’m sure there still are some diehards, but I’m thinking there are going to be a lot of folks going AWOL from the KISS Army soon. Is there nothing this man won’t shill for? It’s kind of a cute commercial though…but I really didn’t think “cute” is what he aims for. Drink more Dr [...] T.S. Eliot once rejected Animal Farm for publication. IT must rate as the literary snub of the 20th century. T S Eliot, one of Britain’s greatest poets, rejected George Orwell’s Animal Farm for publication on the grounds of its unconvincing Trotskyite politics. Eliot, a former director of Faber and Faber, the publisher, wrote his rejection in a [...] Here’s an interesting story from Newsweek on former Army Specialist Terry Holderbrook — a former Gitmo prison guard who converted to Islam in 2004 after a late night conversations with a Moroccan detainee. Here’s a taste — and the real upshot: Holdbrooks’s level of identification with the other side was exceptional. No other guard has [...] David Horowitz is witnessing familiar, and recent, traits becoming common place in the American Right. And he isn’t too happy about it. Conservatives, please. Let’s not duplicate the manias of the Left as we figure out how to deal with Mr. Obama. He is not exactly the anti-Christ, although a disturbing number of people on the [...] Share on Facebook Via Theo Spark comes this story from the UK Daily Mail On-Line The man who flies lion air: Narnia-style circus duo’s amazing performance In a scene reminiscent of Narnia, Michael, the circus mane attraction, leaps gracefully through the air with tamer in tow. Taking Chance comes out on DVD on May 12. This is THE movie so far Iraq-related. Very moving and very straight-up — no sucker punches here. Kevin Bacon should win an Emmy. h/t: Kyle Smith Share on Facebook Share on Facebook Isaac Rejects Esau fresco by Giotto In the book of Genesis the writer tells the story of twin brothers — Jacob and Esau. Esau was born first by a few seconds and thus was the eldest son and heir by law, right and custom. This birthright — an inalienable right — was considered [...] Texan Billy Waugh is a legendary Seargent Major with Special Forces and CIA spook. Among his many decorations, his tunic sports the Silver Star, four Bronze Stars and eight (!) Purple Hearts. When you talk liberty, freedom and duty, there are few that can match up to Billy Waugh. Serving in Viet Nam, Waugh suffered numerous [...] Ah, Alaska. The frozen wilderness, which is both frozen and wilderness. The majestic moutains. The magnificent glaciers. The wonderous Northern Lights. The polar bears lining up to buy air conditioners before “climate change” gives them all sunburn. And somewhere in Alaska tonight, Sarah Palin will be slipping off her undies as she gets ready for [...] A golden oldie. That’s our own Floyd in the Yankees pull-over, playing with his “light saber”. Scout’s honor! Comes in at about 2:23.
Share on Facebook Share on Facebook Today I watched the documentary entitled “Crawford” which was made by David Modigliani. It’s available for viewing for free on Hulu ( http://www.hulu.com/watch/37906/crawford ). I feel bound to mention up front that I have some familiarity with the subject matter. One of my first real dates was with a girl from Crawford. One [...] Since the United States of American is quickly turning into the Socialist Republic of New Europa, I thought it might be interesting to memorialize each of our states before they fade quietly away. The interesting part, actually, will be Dave Barry’s take on each of the states, as described in his wonderful tome “Dave Barry’s [...] Judith Beheading Holofernes One of these was painted by Artemisia Gentileschi. Gentileschi was raped by a powerful man to whom she was entrusted by her father. She was also a very talented and revolutionary woman when that was genuinely difficult — still today under-appreciated. Caravaggio painted the exact same scene (from the Catholic [...] Hope everyone had a good time blowing out their carbon footprints last night. I know that I had every light in the house on! And in honor of fossil fuel, how ’bout a little Boxcar Willie:
Share on Facebook Song for Athene by Sir John Tavener. The best version is sung in Westminster at Princess Diana’s funeral as her cortege exits, but I couldn’t find a copy without TV narrative and showing her funeral is a bit creepy in any case. In any case… beautiful piece of music — not written for [...] Read See all about it … Sometimes material from Mr.EPluribus becomes orphaned, not making the final cut of the show. Sometimes the footage appears post-credits. This time it comes from the bonus archives to your living room … TO THE MODCON-MOBILE Share on Facebook Everyone loves a list: Your favorite five of the moment – in film. Can be actors, directors, producers, key grips, down to Lindsay Lohan’s drug dealer. 1. Brad Bird – The best filmmaker of the moment. The Incredibles, The Iron Giant, and that crazy cookin’ rat movie. A creator whose genius would be limited if he [...] If you’ll notice: the words “Share on Facebook” now appear below each post. Click it and it will post individual posts to your Facebook profiles. The plugin I uploaded doesn’t have the logo like others (I’ll have to go find that one I guess) but the result is the same. Click the [...] Share on Facebook Edited to add: May be fictional, non-fictional, or — sigh! — graphic, if you must. 5. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. Over a hundred years later, the March family remains a template on how a good man or good woman should live their lives. And the most inspiring of the four daughters of a Civil [...] Movies that move culture are rare. A gift and oddity that rests in the influential – that rare moment of timing, correct pieces and mustering of talent, to create something that moves someone else, and them in turn. Ask of movies that influenced the youth this decade, you’ll hear a list of Dark Knights, Brokeback Mountains, [...] Share on Facebook I’m sure you’ve all read or heard about the 4 Oakland Police Dept, officers killed by a parolee last weekend. It seems some outfit called the “Uhuru Movement” held a vigil in honor of the deceased shitbag this past week also. About 60 people marched and rallied in Oakland on Wednesday to condemn the police [...] June Cleaver’s post on child rearing — triggered by a news item of a 14-year old girl posting nude photos of herself online for her boyfriend to view and then being arrested for child pornography – triggered this memory for me. I love this cartoon — there is wisdom here. Looney Tunes “Brother Brat” (1944)Uploaded [...] Pickin’ up the eldest son from school… windows down, sunroof open… It’s time for some Muse. The best Queen song since well… Queen. Spaghetti westerns, Cylons, motorbikes, blondes, and Shaolin — what’s not to like? Share on Facebook John FN wonders — wither the tight black athletic asses to balance out the white ones? Here ya go… Share on Facebook Stephanie set Mr. Sideous’ mind a workin’ with her vivid — and correctly spelled — command to the “rasscist” Brazilian President Lula. Mr. Sid’s response is here. You naughty boy. It just so happens I can accommodate you: Share on Facebook Brazil’s President blamed the current economic crisis on white people with blue eyes. Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Thursday blamed the global economic crisis on “white people with blue eyes” and said it was wrong that black and indigenous people should pay for white people’s mistakes. peaking in Brasília at a joint [...] |
