Huffington Post and right wing blowhards

By ~LS~ On November 16, 2009 · Add Comment · In Politics and tagged Tagged With: Jon Stewart, Michael Moore, News Media, Politics

I do not understand the Huffington Post. The site contains story after story about Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sarah Palin. Sometimes other people are added to the mix — all the usual suspects. To be fair, they add balance with Jon Stewart, Michael Moore, and Arianna herself. On the whole, though, that site is obsessed with right wing bloviation. This obsessive coverage just gives the blowhards more limelight, more attention, more power. It’s like feeding trolls.

Sarah Palin is now promoting her book, which means she’s making the media circuit. Ultimately this translates to more Palin for us to look forward to on HuffPo. They will document every stop she makes on her trail from Oprah to Good Morning Peoria. If she truly is as vapid as the leftwing blogosphere claims, then why the hell do we give her more than two words of acknowlegement? I mean, it’s pathetically [...]

Link-o-mania – A Geektastic Handful

I cleaned up my bookmarks today. I had too many to keep track of. Mostly they were things I wanted to blog about but never got around to. I had a handful of links that I don’t want cluttering my bookmarks, but that I didn’t want to delete. Mostly cute stuff. So here’s some miscellaneous links:

1. Marc Bousquet’s syllabus for Internet Culture and Information Society. I don’t think I could teach the cyberculture class again. I’m so out of it. I refuse to give up my text-based muds in favor of MMORPGs. I don’t particularly like the social networking. At least I blog (occasionally). Bousquet’s syllabus has them view the Daily Show’s report on Second Life. It’s worth a laugh.

2. An open letter to Star Trek director JJ Abrams. This is a list of things he should NOT do as he makes the Star Trek [...]

Last three movies I’ve seen:

1. Atonement (not as hot as I thought it would be)
2. Bucket List (I cried a little, I admit)
3. Aliens Vs. Predators 2 (sucked worse than I thought it would)

Last 3 songs I downloaded:

1. Chemicals Between Us — Bush
2. MachineHead — Bush
3. Speed Kills — Bush

(I’ve been on a Bush kick lately; I’m not sure why)

News in the Household:

1. We finally got Willow’s passport in the mail and we are excited about going to Ireland for Spring Break.
2. Shadda (aka The Blue Cat) is still pooping on Steve’s chair.
3. The niece hasn’t asked for money in at least a week.

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 [...]
