  • The Big Bailout...Ha!

    There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

  • Makes Me Laugh -- Elites With Furrowed Brows AT LAST - -

    So, the FDIC Chairman is a female children's book author from Massachusetts, who started her new job running security for our Nation's bank deposits since 2006? How fortunate for her. I am a Massachusetts/New Hampshire working guy going back to 1990, originally from the Midwest, with some college but no degree, and I have been ''getting ...

  • On the Success of Big Blockbusters and Independent Films

    WARNING! I plan on using math, apologies in advance. As great as it would be to prove great films are more succesful than they appear, thus poking the executives greenlighting films like Love Guru right in the eye, unfortunately the financial truth is we will be stuck for the forseeable future with crap overflowing in thousands of theaters while ...

  • This Much is True

    A few years ago I was able to convince a number of people to suspend their good judgment and allow me to produce a theatre festival in North Carolina. As I began to plan the festival, it occurred to me to write to one of that state's better known men of letters and ask if he would consider participating by allowing us to adapt one of his works for ...

  • RACISM ACCUSATIONS NOW? - IMAGINE IF HE BECOMES PRES!

    If the Democratic Primary is any indication of what is to come as it relates to the issue of race and racism, then hang on to your hat because the general will be all about racism. If charges of racism are being leveled at Democrats, by other Democrats, then just multiply this by 100 once the general election between Obama and McCain swings into ...

  • And the loudest "duh" of the week goes to:

    Critics! From the article: ''Critics charge that Disney's parks are nothing more than simulacra of reality, carefully constructed capitalist fantasylands that shut out unpleasant realities.'' In other news: Several critics of Disney's theme parks, long sickened by all the ''fun'' and ''enjoyment'' being had by visitors, have decided to launch ...

  • RE: Click Here if you thought the ending was a big fat cop-out

    I think you guys need a speeding ticket - you whooshed through some important intersections in the book at such a rate that you apparently missed important details. Remember, Dumbledore and Harry were not alone in the heavenly train station. A miserable creature was crying on the floor: Voldemort. And yes, Voldemort certainly had lost track ...

  • I've heard enough from the snobbish critics

    Who asked Polly Shulman, Dan Kois and Will Leitch to be the ones to discuss the book? What a bunch of whining, carping crabapples! Do they think they have to pick at nits to be considered valid? I found the book to be entertaining, fun, and was quite satisfied with the conclusion. Yes, I have questions I wish had been answered, but every ...
