No one is chasing a single piece of paper. B. Hussein. O. Jr. is in violaton of our most important laws, the Constitution, and is waving his ass in all our faces.

He got to the presidency because Big Media refused to inform the American public of the facts. Most likely, he was not born on American soil. Definitely, his father was not an American citizen, but under British rule.

You bring up a good point. Since I am not rich, I shouldn't have an opinion. Would you take a look at this and let me know what you think of it? http://www.alternet.org/workplace/106979/

Just saw a trailer for the documentary "The Way We Get By", about 3 elderly people who travel to a small airport in Maine to welcome the troops home and to see them off. If this doesn't touch you, nothing will. It opens in limited release this weekend, and comes to Los Angeles next month. I can't wait.

"…A very big part of the reason there is little if any recovery now, the "Rich" are holding off of creating new jobs for better business climate…"

I disagree with that comment. New jobs are created when there is demand. Reagan and Bush Jr. tax cuts have choked this country outside of the small group of elite pigs who own the Republicans. The rich will pay more taxes because we voted out most of those who were preventing it. Will this make the tycoons stop growing their empires? Hardly.

They scalp a few Nazi's but it's pretty cartoonish. They scalp them because Brad Pitt's character is part Apache. It's in Chapter 2 aptly named "inglorious basterds." A Nazi also takes a bat to the head which was very well shot.

And the final scene has Pitt doing something graphic with his knife. I hate to give away endings. I found the plot compelling, trademark Tarantino dialogue and believe it or not . . . very Conservative and Pro-American.

The reason I think it was her best role is exactly what you point out {sic} "it doesn't play to her strengths." She did a great job by being convincing in the role despite that fact.

I know you are not rich. You have no concept of how wealth is created nor protected.

I've always had a weird attachment to Jodie Foster after an old girlfriend of mine told me she thought that she was exactly the kind of women I was attracted to. A certain discomfort comes in knowing there's some truth to that statement.

That said I don't think this is her best role because it doesn't play to her strengths. Foster's strength has always been in playing a bookish and/or academic professional woman in a totally plausible way. It's probably extremely sexist to point out that the touch of androgeneity adds to the effect, but you have to admit how hard it is to do while pitying the poor "nuclear physicist" Denise Richards. I just watched the semi-ridiculous movie Flightplan about a week ago and even though the story itself stretched credulity to say the least, I didn't have the least bit of trouble believing that Jodie could design an airline engine.
