More Than It Could Chew

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

I saw the documentary Inside Deep Throat this weekend. Given 3 stars by Roger Ebert – http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050210/REVIEWS/50128001/1023, that’s a star-and-a-half too many. The documentary hints at the fascinating subtext of the first “mainstream” porno to hit the street, but when all is said and done, it is slapdash, no more than a love letter [...]

Tayseer Alouni, 50, was found guilty by Spain’s High Court of collaborating with a terrorist group but acquitted of being a member of al Qaeda. – http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/B731768.htm49.
You see the danger of al Qaeda?
American reporters only slant the news in the favor of enemies of the United States. They don’t collaborate.
Yet.

Can’t You Hear Me Knocking?

Two 2008 GOP hopefuls – John McCain and Rudy Giuliani – would be formidable candidates in a general election, but they are eyed with suspicion by conservatives, especially the ones most influential in the selection process – primary voters.
Three recent events, however, offer both men an opportunity to secure the backing of these conservatives or, [...]

Lynndie England Convicted – http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/09/26/prisoner.abuse.england.ap/index.html
Capt. Jonathan Crisp, England’s lawyer, countered that England was only trying to please her soldier boyfriend, then-Cpl. Charles Graner Jr., labeled the abuse ringleader by prosecutors.
“She was a follower, she was an individual who was smitten with Graner,” Crisp said. “She just did whatever he wanted her to do.”
Not a lot [...]

“I told you not to tell me that!”

I liked the intro with the doors.
I liked the show, too. But the doors were so surreal, even if I didn’t quite know what that word meant at the time.
The 60s sitcoms had the best beginnings. “Get Smart”’s doors. “The Monkees”, the bed, and the surf. “George of the Jungle”, who never watched out for [...]

“You Mean, There Weren’t Millions of Rats Feasting on the Recently Raped and Murdered?”

“I’ve got a report of 200 bodies in the Dome – http://www.nola.com/newslogs/tporleans/index.ssf?/mtlogs/nola_tporleans/archives/2005_09_26.html#082732,”. . . . The real total was six, Beron said. Of those, four died of natural causes, one overdosed and another jumped to his death in an apparent suicide.

“Oh, the humanity!”
Lest we forget, the hysterical Washington Post and its Four Levels of Hell [...]

President Geena Davis – http://www.boston.com/ae/tv/articles/2005/09/27/a_likable_president_but_not_quite_credible/:
Toward the end of ”Commander in Chief,” the drama hints that it’s probably just going to continually contrive situations in which Allen will triumph no matter what. Allen is giving her acceptance speech when the Teleprompter mysteriously dies. Naturally, she is forced to speak from the heart; and, naturally, she goes [...]

The Media’s CRACK Hysteria-Inducing Rumor-Mongering

CHRIS LAWRENCE, CNN CORRESPONDENT, 9/1/2005:
When we were on Canal Street a few hours ago, the police came by and strongly advised us to get off the street, and just said, you know, it’s slipping, you know? You have to get off the street now. It’s not safe at all to be on the street. Some [...]
