Bah, Rack

I really did want to vote for McCain this year but, alas, the old man did everything he could to lose my vote. In his pursuit of power, JM has ceded a carefully cultivated image of independent, maverick legislation to appease the base. Worse still, he chose a supremely unqualified (though nice) lady as his second in command in a cynically calculated move of desperation, poisoning the race with irrelevant identity politics and inspiring careless vitriol. Further, with each debate and public appearance, it's become clearer that JM i a crotchety old man whose attitude could do more harm than good in a time when we need fresh ideas to compete in a global marketplace.

JM, I love you, you're a hero, but goodbye, and thanks for all the fish!

TErrible awful movie.

This weekend IFC had on "IFC shorts".
I tuned in as they were showing, http://theclimacticdeathofdarkninja.com/ The Climactic Death of Dark Ninja.

This movie is by far the WORST student film/short I had ever seen in my life. I wish I had the 13 minutes back. After the first minute I kept on telling myself, it's on TV, surely this has to go somewhere! Now keep in mind, I went to art school and have seen some of the most horrible films (some of which I helped produce), none could match this.
It wasn't quirky, cute or ironic or funny. It was stupid. Watching it you can tell there was definitely some money spent on the production. The audio didn't match the kids lips most of the time. The dialogue was pitiful. The direction was making me dizzy.

So I was actually pissed off afterwards. I went online and found that this short had actually won some awards, one of them for BEST AUDIO. Maybe this can be the next Michael Bay, or Brett Ratner or

Ailing

Welcome to Israeli airport security, Alvin Ailey. Now the world knows. Why was it important for the AP to point out that Israeli security detained an "African American"? Are they trying to say that the guy was stopped on account of his skin color, rather than his first name, "Abdur-Rahim?" In any case, the most interesting development in this story is that Jackson is engaged to a Jewish woman. A straight dancer? Yeah, and pigs with lipsticks fly.

Hello, Dollface

Misogyny rears its ugly head again the form of the Sarah Palin doll. I wonder if anyone is mass-producing an Obama doll wearing a turban or a McCain doll complete with meat hook and water board in a Hanoi Hilton environment.

O-Ba-Ma!

So the hullabaloo is over. The Republican conventioneers packed up the tents and ten-gallon hats, deflated the balloons, and gone back to the oil rigs and rodeo barns. Sarah Palin is back in Alaska to take lamaze with her pregnant 17-year-old and her husband-to-be husband. Track Palin is snorting coke off some prom queen's thighs in preparation for deployment to Iraq. Joe Biden is making cripples walk and McCain is turning proverbs into gaffes. Let the games begin!

Joltin' Joe & Spanish Diddy

The Latin puffster, Daddy Yankee, has now endorsed Senator McCain. Now that's "Gasolina"! This in a week we learned Ducky from Pretty in Pink and Robert Duvall are both yearning for four more years of Bush, and that Jon Voight is a true believer in the Obama/Ayers/Wright axis.

That "rock star" performance at the '04 convention seems so long ago

FUCKIN THING!

Ok, I've had enough of this stupid Jets/Giants preseason game. the Preseason even. Remember back in 1998, Jason sehorn decided he could return kickoffs? Sehorn had his knee and pretty much his career torn off by Jet scrub special teamer. And now this. Osi Umenyiora is gone for the year in the most useless play in the most useless game. Now the Giants will need to shift some players around and maybe try to convince Michael Strahan to unretire. It's time for Mathias Kiwanuka to shine!

J-Date Code

To the uninitiated, those lovely twentysomething ladies of J-Date may appear all too reasonable and responsible. Never hunting for those superficial accouterments of material success their misogynist detractors always herald...But wait, just a minute...what's up with all the high-frequency descriptions of the ideal mate? It's almost as if there were a...code:

1. Ambitious and goal-oriented (provided ambition results in the acquisition of enviable real estate and goals revolve around furniture garnishes).
   
2. Looking for a man who knows what he wants (as long as what he wants coincides nicely with my plans for a new pair of Christian Louboutin pumps).
3. Must be materially and emotionally stable (to the point where said stability will not be compromised by excessive overpriced dinners and frequent tokens of your appreciation...emotional stability negotiable).
4. Someone who loves what he does (assuming this meets the conditions laid out in 1, 2, and 3 above).

Mothers Against Common Sense

There's "The Truth" about drinking on college campuses...and then there's "the truth"...

A sideline reporter for basketball games in the Olympics, said something like, “these gestures aren’t a big deal in China and they are less politically correct than in America. This isn’t an issue. ”
The Spanish players didn’t think it was a big deal either.
The reason why the Chinese in China aren’t as offended as someone like me can be easily explained. They didn’t grow up being mocked with the chinkeye gesture or being called “chingchong”. We are the minority here. It isn’t about political correctness, it’s about being an ass. Can you imagine if the Spanish team posed in “black face”?
In the Prince Philip scale of racist gestures this is a 8.
