North Korea — Celebrating Earth Hour For Over 60 Years

Earth Hour — -when America goes dark for a whole hour (except for me and all my fellow light burners). Yeah… let’s follow North Korea’s example. Environmentalists = stupid.

Brilliant!

Some of you may remember my jumping all over Obama’s Hot Mic episode when Outlaw posted it. I still think it’s a huge deal, but my whiny-wonky discourse isn’t going to convince anyone. This ad, on the other hand?

Brilliant!!

Old Age Religion

Solomon was correct… there really is nothing new under the Sun.

Authorities in the northern Mexican state of Sonora have arrested eight people accused of killing two boys and one woman as human sacrifices for Santa Muerte — the saint of death — officials said Friday.

The victims, two of whom were age 10, were [...]

Someone Just Walked Over My Grave

Having an uncommon last name, I set up a Google Alert for it so that if any of my relatives do anything newsworthy, I’ll know about it.

Imagine my surprise when this popped up five minutes ago:

My family didn’t change  their name from Krzewski until some decades after he was born, so I [...]

Notice Me!

The practice of law — as any profession — can be and often is dry and tedious. Motions upon motions multiplied by meetings and hearings…. How to deal with the tedium? Inside many lawyers is an author waiting to get out. Believe it or not — every so often lawyers let their literary freak flag [...]

Saturday Open Thread

Carter Burwell is better known as the “go to” composer of Coen Brothers soundtracks (except for O Brother), but his non-Coen output is often great as well. The further out from In Bruges I get the more I like it. I’ve seen it 3 times or so and I like it the more I [...]

I like … Batman

I’m no Outlaw in the photography department, but still figured a few folks might appreciate the mass gathering of all the TV and movie Batmobiles which assembled outside my office earlier today. Presumably en masse for a Dark Knight promotion, here they all are before they rolled down to the weekly car show at the [...]

Stop the Presses!

Threedonians now have a new way to follow Floyd:

This Just In…

Eric will never use Glidden Paint again. Something I would have never imagined when this song came out…its use in a paint commercial.

Church and State

Church/State issues have been a hot topic of late given the birth control brouhaha, the Obama Administration’s wider war on the Catholic Church in particular and Christianity more generally, and even Pope Benedict’s visit to Cuba… Alliance Defense Fund has a nice little interview with Eric Metaxas — author of 2010′s Bonhoeffer — on [...]

Friday Open Thread

70 years old. Great film. Great score. Great composer in Max Steiner.

Why?!?

If two is good… three must be better. Right? RIGHT???? Dear God help us.

Is the world ready for a sequel to Twins?

Universal and Montecito Picture Co. are hoping to develop a doozy of a follow-up to the 1988 hit comedy that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito that would reunite the two [...]
