Compass? We Don’t Need No Stinking Compass!
by Big XBefore Big X achieved fame, glory and untold wealth as a writer-producer, he spent a decade or so as an executive in the financial industry. So when I read Mr. Weinstein’s comment that “Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion,” I couldn’t help but choke and spray a fine mist of Starbucks all over my laptop screen.
In comparison to “real” businesses, I think I can say from personal experience inside and outside the bubble that Hollywood is the most systemically ruthless, amoral, deceitful, cruel and thuggish enterprise outside of Mexican drug cartels and (possibly) D.C. Politics. For all its self-proclaimed “progressiveness,” compared to the daily operations of corporations in the real world, management practices in Hollywood exhibit all the “compassion” of a mid-19th century Dickensian sweatshop.

Why Wasn’t I Invited to the NEA Conference Call?
by Big XThis whole flap over at the NEA has a lot of folks’ underwear in a bunch. Sure, the idea of the White House using the NEA as the “Hope and Change Department of Propaganda” is disturbing. But even more troubling is the fact that I didn’t get an invitation to the goddamn conference call!
And I quote: “It’s time for us as a group of artists, producers, promoters, organizers, influencers, marketers, tastemakers, leaders or just plain cool people to join together…”
I’m a producer and an artist. I’m even a leader at times. And anyone who’s ever had one of my patented kick-ass margaritas (SeizureRitas®) can attest to my tastemaking abilities! Just to prove my worth to the cause, I’d like to submit the below painting, an homage to German artist Hubert Lanzinger, I call “Obama, the Standard Bearer.” (more…)

Debunking the Great Debunker: ObamaCare Covers Illegals
by Big XOn Wednesday last week, President Barack Obama participated in a scripted online townhall with a friendly audience of religious voters and pastors in an effort to dispel misinformation regarding HR 3200, the Health-Care Reform Bill.
In a brazen and inept attempt to “relate” (as in “pander”) to his church-going audience, the President accused opponents of “bearing false witness” against his plans. I suppose by that he meant his critics are lying. True, bearing false witness is a specific type of lie, but it’s very difficult to do against an abstract object. Usually, false witness is borne against a person. Like Sarah Palin, for instance…
But, I digress.
During the meeting, Obama debunked “disinformation” alleging that illegal aliens would be eligible for the proposed plan. “That’s not true,” he objected, “There’s a specific provision in the bill that does not provide health insurance for those individuals.” (more…)

Yes folks, you heard that right. Your humble if nattily-dressed servant, Biggus Exxus, is now in possession of his very own Lockheed Martin A2100 communications satellite recently launched into geosynchronous orbit from the Guiana Space Centre on an Ariane 5 rocket!
Now, you might wonder how a mere journalist can afford to purchase a 93.7 million dollar satellite and a big, bee-yutiful 126.3 million dollar European launch vehicle, not to mention the ongoing overhead incurred by a ground-control crew, insurance and miscellaneous costs. (more…)
