I Can Tell He's Walking On Egg Shells

We on the right must walk on egg shells avoiding even the slightest hint of racial unniceness while the Negro-in-Chief and his fellow DemonicRATs are 24/7, unashamed racists. Hey, Oblackguy ...KISS MY ASS! You racist pricks are toast come November!

In response to:
I don't get it. Why do many many on this board diss Earth Day? I helped volunteers plant nearly six thousand oak trees last Saturday at the Forest Preserve by my house.

But does planting trees help bring people to Christ? It's like going to third-world countries to feed the hungry. It doesn't do a starving man any good to keep him alive for another day if he's doomed to hell anyway. It doesn't do anyone any good to plant trees for people if they haven't heard about Jesus. The future of this earth is destruction....You don't "Bring people to Christ" with inanimate objects. He is knowable, but unless that tree becomes paper, and eventually a Bible, it will have no value in expressing how to know The Creator who made the tree.

Mission Statement

Jewish Americans for Sarah Palin is an independent group of academic, religious and political leaders, dedicated to promoting consideration of Gov. Sarah Palin’s political positions in the wider American Jewish community.

We find Ms. Palin’s policy positions on Israel, Iran, national security, fiscal responsibility, energy, and social policy – as well as her record on these issues as governor of Alaska and candidate for Vice President of the United States – to be serious, substantive and politically mainstream.

Though not at present a candidate for any political office, Gov. Palin’s track record in public office has been exemplary, and has withstood the test of the most demanding scrutiny of investigative news media. Gov. Palin’s ongoing contribution to the public discourse in America is welcome.

Song of the Night - Courtsey of Kerri

My thanks to News Hounds O/T resident Kerri Greene (a.k.a. Keg) for turning me on to these two artists.

The first artist, I have have been harboring an obsession ever since they released their groundbreaking seventh album three years ago. They're the most unique band in the world who specialize in taking the listner on a whirlwhind journey of sound and atmosphere. They are the Oxfort quintet Radiohead, and the song is one of my favorites off of In Rainbows, "House of Cards".

This next artist, Ani DiFranco, I discovered on my 20th birthday while chatting it up with Kerri. She sounds like Norah Jones, but with a much deeper edge to her voice and her style of songwriting. The song is called "Hypnotized".

RIP Lena Horne 1917-2010

Iron Man 2

Summer officially starts off with a bang with Iron Man 2, the most exciting film this year. Director Jon Favreau puts the story and characters in full throtle mode and rarely lets up throught the movie's 125 minute run-time. Critics have lashed the sequel, saying that crisp visuals, an overload of villains, and flashy, amazing action scenes have trumped what made the original Iron Man a hit (an intelligent script, a middle-of-the-road political assessment on war and peace, and a great comeback performance by Robert Downey Jr.). Fair criticism, but they're only two-for-three correct. Downey Jr. never loses sigh of what made us love Tony Stark in the first place: he's a naricassistic playboy with an ego that dwarfs Tom Cruise, even when the acr reactor that's keeping shrapnel from hitting his heart is also poisioning his body. He doesn't want our sympathy, he wants go go out as he came in. Mickey Rourke, fresh off his soul-searing porrait of Randy "The Ram" Robinson and his weary, grieving heart in The Wrestler is equal parts hilarious and simmering with menace as Ivan Vanko - a.k.a Whiplash - the movie's antagonist. And becasue you can never have enough villians, the filmmakers threw in Sam Rockwell to play Justin Hammer, Stark's rival in providing defense contracts to the U.S. military. Rockwell is as a smooth-talking, snake-oil salesman personified in Hammer, adding Vanko to the payroll after confronting and nearly killing Stark at a gran prix race in Monaco.

What the critics are correct are in is that there is an overload of characters in the sequel (Scarlett Johansson as Natalie Rushman - a.k.a. Black Widow and Samuel L. Jackson as S.H.I.E.L.D. commander Nick Fury are only serving as a backdrop for the next line of comic book films that Marvel Studios will release in the near future), and story is being sacrificed at the altar for kick-ass action. If this sounds like last year's fiasco Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, guess again. The filmmakers are smart enought to know what Iron Man 2 and what it isn't. They're buling off some of the elements that we loved the first time (hint, hint: Downey Jr. and the action), and brought the action to the next level of bad-assery that few summer movies will be able to top.
