to screen or not to screen

I wish I had a dime for every time this year I've scanned the movie listings, thinking to take my son to see a flim, and finding nothing worth seeing. And now this just in from AFP via Breitbart.com: "Plunging movie ticket sales, after a string of uninspiring remakes and ...

a coalescing of the unwilling

Tuesday, December 6th, 2005

Yesterday it was Kerry moaning about US Soldiers terrorizing Iraqi children in the dead of the night, a job which he feels should be done by Iraqis (presumably he's longing for the pre-war situation). That was enough for Chairman Dean. Today he brazenly announced that the US will ...

Toe The (Hollywood) Line

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005

I saw the movie "Walk The Line" a couple nights ago, and had similar thoughts to those of St. Kansas: something along the lines of "Oh, we forgot to mention, Buzz Aldrin was also an astronaut. It's not that they wove any fabrications out of whole cloth, but gosh, there was ...

a slippery slope

"New research in monkeys suggests a combination of AIDS drugs applied as a vaginal gel might prevent infection with HIV," the Washington Post reports today. Thank-goodness we can all go back to having sex with AIDS infected whoevers. This is reprehensible medicine. Condoms, with their Federal-government-reported 13% failure rate, ...

George Bush opposes using the word "refugees" to describe the victims of hurricane Katrina, presumably because they are Americans, still living in their own country.

Robert N. Going writes that New Orleans and Louisiana have a leadership vacuum and what they need is Rudy Guiliani. A reader of his blog comments: I am a resident of lower Manhattan and a witness to the events of 9/11 and as a Red Cross volunteer for 2.5 months ...

but you can’t take the venuzuela out of chavez

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

chezJoel.com remains 100% independent of all political factions in Venuzuela. "They shouldn't call it the 700 club," my old friend Clint groused, "they should call it the double-oh-seven club." I laughed, raised my beer and drank to that. The next day Chavez showed his ideological cousinhood with megalomaniac Sadaam ...

crossing the blogosphere

Thursday, August 18th, 2005

I am delighted to report that I am a guest blogger at The Dawn Patrol, where I extend this site's discussion of the profanity-ridden lyrics I used in my short montage A Membrane For Choice. You can read my DP exclusive here: "Membrane" Crosses A Thin Line.

a membrane for choice

Thursday, August 11th, 2005

If you haven't seen PPGG's fatuous film "A Superhero for Choice," Dawn Eden has a list of places where you can go to see PPGG deliver the profilactic prescription to anything and everything. They look out over this land and see nothing but condom-nation (nyuck, nyuck, hic. It's ...

voice of “dian” six of eight

Wednesday, August 10th, 2005

If you haven't heard about the blogstorm kicking up over a cartoon created by Planned Parenthood's Golden Gate chapter, you can catch up by checking out The Dawn Patrol: Eden breaks the story, digs into PPGG president Dian J Harrison's possible conflicts of interest and interviewed one whom PPGG daydreams ...
