Avatar: In Hindu mythology, an appearance, manifestation; personification, embodiment

I discovered a sure-fire way to save at least twenty-five bucks.  That’s the cost of two movie matinee tickets plus popcorn and soda in our ‘burb and it’s a  bargain, except when it’s wasted on Avatar.  

In case you haven’t seen it yet, don’t bother.

I’d give it 2 3/4 stars–mainly for the special effects.  Add a star if you appreciate paying for propagandistic, anti-American swill disguised as an science fiction-adventure-romance and add another if you go see it thinking it compares with director James Cameron’s previous epic, Titanic.  … Read the rest

Contrary to popular opinion, blogging is not all Leslie Gore’s sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows.  Nor is it all brickbats, grenades, and tornadoes. 

Then again, when a blogger deals in controversial topics he can’t very well expect either universal plaudits or universal condemnation.

This blogsite tries to cover it all, from all the “problems in America”–which are multitudinous–to some less-encompassing “solutions for America,” which is a tall order on both counts, an order that also falls short on more than a few counts.

The articles here, 98% of which are original pieces, have been sourced, written, edited, and posted by one … Read the rest

Gays don’t like it and the military likes it even less.  I refer to Bill Clinton’s cop out, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) policy for homosexuals in the military.  That coda is about to change into “Leave Me Alone and Stay Outta My Face,” should Obama get his way.

Clinton’s DADT compromise stated that “homosexual orientation alone is not a bar to service, but homosexual conduct is incompatible with military service.”  In other words, no one will ask about your sexual orientation and gays should feel free to serve their country but should not feel free to flout or advertise … Read the rest

If Lewis Carroll could make up the word curiouser I’m entitled to use ridiculous-er which is sometimes the best way to describe the goings-on on our planet.

For example, across the Pond in not-so-merry Ole England they’ve long been ahead of the Political Correctness curve–as well as the Death Panel and other such curves–but even Brits can run PC-amok.

One poor soul discovered that when she tried to place a classified want ad for a housekeeper in a UK employment office. 

Now, such a position doesn’t demand an awful lot aside from reliability and some degree of a work ethic … Read the rest

“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation,” wrote Tennessee Williams, and well he should know.  There’s a lot of desperation out there, both quiet and noisy, but all the sufferers aren’t men.

One very desperate group in America is the mainstream media, particularly the print media which is rapidly being supplanted by the Internet for people to get news, information, entertainment. 

Thus we see the “old grey lady,” the New York Times,  gradually, inexorably being reduced to an old grey bag lady as its readership declines by the day.

Pretty soon the only people reading it will be … Read the rest

Take former Clinton Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich.  As Henny Youngman used to add, Please!!

Reich, or Reisshhh as Rush Limbaugh calls him, is so consumed by vile, sick venom that he sees a Fox under every bed.  Not a red fox  or a Megan Fox   or a Redd Fox   but that most vicious of all foxes, the Fox News Channel.  

Now, Mr. Reich is a brilliant man, or so we’re told.  We’re also told Paul Krugman is a brilliant man, Barack Obama is a brilliant man, and Bill Clinton is a brilliant man.  In fact, just about all liberals … Read the rest

  As the dust settles over the planet following the longest speech of President Obama’s political life, (70 minutes), which included this downer line, “We do not give up.  We do not quit.  We do not allow fear or division to break our spirit,” the wags are wagging and the talking heads are talking their heads off.

If Obama meant to invoke Churchill’s, “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender,” he didn’t come close and, … Read the rest

Much has been writ and much more will be written about President Obama’s first State of the Union address last night, so I’ll limit this piece to the essentials to avoid redundancy.

Highlights and Lowlights:

.  The 96 times he used the pronoun “I.”  (One Dem lackey later defended that sign of egotism on FOX by saying, “Well, Bush used “I,” too!”  Well, duh!)

.  Justice Alito mouthing the words, “Not true” to Obama’s criticism of Tuesday’s SCOTUS decision on campaign financing.  (Alito was silently fulfilling the Joe Wilson function at an Obama speech.)

.  Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid … Read the rest

As all denizens of America, the planet, the solar system, the known universe patiently and expectantly await President Obama to talk to them, I managed to come by the inside dope on his SotU.

It’s not nice to make fun of a president but, then again, when a nation’s media grovels and worships at the feet of a vastly over-rated, self-absorbed, hypocritical, lying leftist posing as a moderate head of state, he deserves to be cut down to size and anything goes.

What goes around, etc., tit for tat, since GWB was widely … Read the rest
