Letting the days go by

* This story, Bush Set for Climate Change U-Turn, is headlining at Netscape tonite. My reaction? Well, duh.

* I have been collecting Bush thumbnails (that sounds really gross) from Netscape. I don’t think they really like him very much, because the pictures they always use of him are really funny. He looks alternately evil or stupid, or sometimes both at the same time. When I have enough to make a case, I will post them.

* I saw The Curse of the Golden Flower tonite, which I learned from Wikipedia was not based on fact. I feel utterly ignorant and parochial. I vaguely remember the Tang Dynasty from 7th grade social studies, but I couldn’t tell you anything about it. Hah. And I passed the Praxis II test for general knowledge. There’s a joke. Go figure. Anyway, the movie was sometimes visually overwhelming, but I [...]

Jesus Camp

By ~LS~ On November 11, 2006 · Add Comment · In Politics and tagged Tagged With: Bush, Jon Stewart, Movies, Politics, Religion

Steve and I went to see the movie Jesus Camp yesterday. It was very scary how the neo-con evangelicals brainwash their kids into being soldiers for Jesus. They even pray over a cardboard effigy of George Bush, praying for Jesus to help Bush lead us to a right wing, neo-con, brainwashed country. I don’t really think George Bush is God’s representative on earth. If anything, he’s a false prophet bringing the apocalypse closer, which I suppose most Evangelicals think is a great thing. The movie was very disturbing on a number of levels, not the least of which was the fight Steve and I had afterward. Steve considers me to be a “whackjob liberal” whereas he considers the people in the film to be relatively harmless. Of course, they were praying in tongues and rolling around on the floor and -I’m- the whackjob.

Thank god that Jesus Camp has [...]

V for Vendetta

By ~LS~ On March 18, 2006 · 1 Comment · In Pop Culture and tagged Tagged With: Bush, Movies, Politics, Pop Culture

I enjoyed V for Vendetta yesterday. The Wachowski brothers’ commentary on the Bush regime is obvious, whereas in the Matrix movies the philosophy is garbled and multiplicitous. What’s equally interesting is the reviewers’ commentary. You can tell who is conservative and who is liberal by their take on the movie. In any event, one reviewer made a very disheartening comment:

But this is not the movie, and these are not the times, for sophisticated arguments.

How depressing. I’m not sure if I’m depressed because if now is not the time for sophisticated arguments, then -when- precisely is the right time. Have we really become so dumb? Or, perhaps, I’m depressed because the reviewer is correct. Under the Bush II regime we’ve become so dumb that any movie wanting to make a political point better do it in black and white and on a fifth grade reading level.

Bush on Katrina

By ~LS~ On September 1, 2005 · Add Comment · In Politics, Race and Racism and tagged Tagged With: Bush, Katrina, Louisiana

From the NY Times….

George W. Bush gave one of the worst speeches of his life yesterday, especially given the level of national distress and the need for words of consolation and wisdom. In what seems to be a ritual in this administration, the president appeared a day later than he was needed. He then read an address of a quality more appropriate for an Arbor Day celebration: a long laundry list of pounds of ice, generators and blankets delivered to the stricken Gulf Coast. He advised the public that anybody who wanted to help should send cash, grinned, and promised that everything would work out in the end.

We will, of course, endure, and the city of New Orleans must come back. But looking at the pictures on television yesterday of a place abandoned to the forces of flood, fire and looting, it was hard not to [...]
