Wow the author of one of the most liberal graphic novels in history joins occupy? Big surprise... I guess.

OK - Here's my question... These news entities are publicly traded - or are owned by publicly traded firms. How long can a business continue to lose money before somebody puts a stop to it? When you find out your customers hate you - you change or die. The business people over these companies seem not to get that.

Big Hollywood : ‘American Horror Story’ Review: Terrifying and Risqué

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 17:36:29 +0000

Mirroring a lot of commentors here - I had high hopes for the show but was WAY too distracted by their attempts to make it "edgy" with creepy masturbation scenes - deleted it and 2 more unwatched episodes as well as the season pass. I can say that BBC America's "Bedlam" is MUCH better - and although it too tries to be a bit edgy it does not stray into the shock for shock's sake territory. It is also very creepy which is great TV.

Big Hollywood : Why Modern Hollywood Villains Stink

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 15:36:03 +0000

OMG - you have GOT to be kidding. That movie was a simple liberal's wet dream. The people won't stop doing wrong so I will sacrifice myself by killing millions & will therefore make them stop - for their own good mind you. I especially like that the other "Bad Guy" (by that I mean the guy who was supposed to be a hero but was really a bad person) "The Comedian" was a caricature of a conservative patriot. My VERY favorite part of the movie was when the newspaper had to shut down because there was no more bad news to report after the nukes had been destroyed... Stupid, yet visually pretty movie.

"I think that would apply more to right wing reactionaries than liberal progressives." Shows what you get for "thinking".

Way to set up a straw man - a Che Guevera training camp indeed. By the way if such a place existed they would probably be in lock step with the "strings" to begin with.

Yeah - but up until this point they openly discriminated with reckless abandon. Just getting them to admit the fault is huge in hollywood.

Big Government : Indiana Voucher Law: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back?

Tue, 10 May 2011 16:07:00 +0000

No - the problem is that once the door is open to government oversight it is only a matter of time before the government mandates curriculum changes to private schools in order to qualify for further funds. "Amy has 2 mommies" The facts of global climate change, the undisputed facts about evolution, effective family planning etc. Once those schools take enough of the money to become dependent upon it they would not be in a position to say no.

Big Government : Indiana Voucher Law: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back?

Tue, 10 May 2011 15:54:02 +0000

This is why i'm against school vouchers. In the end they will be used to regulate private schools. Schools begin taking the vouchers. Class sizes grow, new building wings are financed and teachers hired to handle the growth. Everything looks fine. Next thing you know, a liberal politician gets a law passed that says in order to qualify to continue receiving voucher money, schools must teach a state certified family planning curriculum as well as the facts of evolution and global climate change. If schools don't wish to participate then they can no longer receive the money to continue making payments on their new buildings or meet their new expanded payroll. So the school's impossible choice? Betray their values or go bankrupt. Vouchers, in their present form, are not the answer. Only when they are given with a legislated no-strings-attached policy will they even have a chance of succeeding.

That could be rewritten as Did you ever say "I’m Jesus, and I say that stupid girls who decide to sin and let guys who are also sinning talk them into going to the back seat of their cars to sin have to bear the responsibility of the result of their sin?’ ” Reads a bit differently now doesn't it?
