Thank you for that tribute!
I often disliked (and occasionally abhorred) Bush's policies, but I always liked the man.
In time I came to admire him very much.

I think it is quite unfair to accuse our Enlightened Elite of singling out Mormonism for abuse.
They are equally bigoted in their attitudes toward Bible-believing Protestants and traditionalist Catholics. They're just focusing on Mormonism this year because of Mitt.

And, by the way, they have no problem with" Mormons" like Harry Reid ---just as they have no problems with "Catholics" like Nancy Pelosi.

Basically, they are quite fair! As long as you believe in and promote everything they approve of, as long as you toe the party-line 100%, you're okay. You're cool, you're bright, you're righteous!

There's nothing whatsoever wrong with single-sex camps, schools, clubs, etc.
Of course, when religious fanatics (in this case Islamists) try to COMPEL sex- segregation in all activities, I have a huge objection.
I likewise object when religious fanatics (in this case so-called progressives) try to FORBID single-sex associations.

Obama and Erdogan share the same commitment to social engineering and the compulsory "improvement" of mores. The exact content of the orthodoxy imposed is probably not so important.

You really need to watch any given episode of "Psych" a few times before you catch all the puns and goofy references.
Great stuff!

How nice to read a bit of news that makes me smile for a change.
God speed them, indeed!

Rush was nominated for Best SUPPORTING Actor. I suppose they thought he stood a better chance of winning that one. Or they were afraid he might take some votes away from Colin Firth in the lead actor category.
(The Academy certainly plays fast and loose with the line between "leading" and "supporting," doesn't it?!?)

And, BTW, I agree 100% with you about the excellence of that movie!

It is unfortunate that "The Artist" has that title. It leads many to think it must be an artsy, pretentious, snooze-fest.
Not so. It is a charming, delightful tale made in homage to old Hollywood. The sets, costumes, and music are wonderful and the dog Uggie's performance by itself is worth the ticket price.
NO sucker punches for conservatives. NO sanctimonious preaching.
And yes, Dujardin absolutely deserves the Best Actor award.

BTW, my husband and I saw it first --- assuming it was purely adult fare --- but took the kids (aged 9 to 16) for a second viewing. They all LOVED it. It sparked their interest (and ours) in movie history.

I think the trailers for "Safe House" look much better than the ones for "The Vow'--- even though I, being a chick, like chick-flicks. So I'll bet that Denzel wins out this weekend.
But I am always proven wrong when I disagree with Sensei!

If Jewish Americans aren't worried about what Obama's stance toward Israel will be in a second term, they are nuts.
This is the same guy who once referred to Israel as "a constant sore." He'll want to "solve" that problem for his precious legacy and for the applause of "enlightened world opinion."
SCARY.
