Guantanamo Bay: Up Close and Personal
by Steven CrowderWith all of the chaos going on these last couple of weeks, I felt this to be a necessary piece. The troops aren’t allowed to vindicate themselves, so somebody has to speak up for them. Let me give you a hint; It won’t be Pelosi. These people are doing a WORLD-CLASS job at keeping us safe and GITMO is a big part of that. Of course, there was a lot of footage that I wasn’t allowed to include in the video, but I hope the message still speaks volumes. God bless the troops and the work they do for us!

‘The Onion’ Targets Obama’s Teleprompter Reliance
by Big HollywoodAmazing what you can do with a cup of truth mixed with a dash of exaggeration…. We’ve been pretty hard on “The Onion,” and deservedly so, but some credit is due here for their decision to target an obvious Obama weak spot, his reliance on a teleprompter:

Obama: The Woody Boyd Candidate
by Matt PattersonEarlier this year, I rented and re-watched the entire series run of Cheers. Towards the end of the series, the hayseed junior bartender Woody Boyd (Woody Harrelson) decides to run for city council. He is encouraged in this endeavor by psychiatrist Fraser Crane (Kelsey Grammer), the bar’s resident elite, who acts as Woody’s campaign manager.
Fraser masterminds Woody’s campaign as a social experiment: He is convinced that anyone, even a bumpkin, can get elected, simply by spouting vague cliches. His advice to Woody? Don’t be specific on the campaign trail – just repeat empty slogans like “change.”
When I saw this, I burst out laughing – perhaps this is where Axelrod & Co. received their inspiration for Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign theme, I surmised. (more…)

INTERVIEW: Former Miss California Carrie Prejean
by Lynn VincentApart from the fact that she’s a smoking hot California babe and I’m a 47-year-old mother of two teenage sons, Carrie Prejean and I do have some things in common. We’re both from San Diego. We both attend The Rock, an urban mega-church pastored by former San Diego Chargers defensive back, Miles McPherson. And we’ve both been slammed as raging “homophobes” by the New Media left.
So when Andrew Breitbart asked me if I’d interview Carrie about her new book, Still Standing, out November 9 from Regnery, I chuckled and thought: The liberal faithful will think this is perfect: One “fanatical homophobe” interviewing another.
Except that they would be wrong.
In case you’ve been living under a rock this year, Carrie Prejean is the former Miss California who became an accidental lightning rod in the spring. At a glitzy pageant held April 19 at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Carrie appeared poised to be crowned Miss USA. But during the final segment of the contest, a Q&A with pageant judges, Carrie drew as her questioner the gay gossip aficionado, Perez Hilton.
Ignoring the longstanding pageant tradition of steering clear of politically charged questions, Hilton launched this salvo: “Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?” (more…)

Nobody Knows Joe Biden’s Name
by Steven CrowderIn all fairness, some of the questions in the Berkeley video were tough. Thus, I decided to think of the easiest possible questions regarding the Obama administration. As per usual, you can’t even GIVE Obama-voters the right answer. When only 34% of them can identify our Vice President, I start to think of P. Diddy’s “Vote or Die” campaign. If given the choice, I think some of these folks should opt for the latter.

When Will Some Brave Comedian Spoof Jon Stewart?
by John Nolte| The Daily Show With Jon Stewart | Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c | |||
| The 11/3 Project | ||||

–
For eight very long minutes Jon Stewart spoofs Glenn Beck. Good luck slogging through the last half. As my mind wandered near the end two questions suddenly came to me: Why won’t Michelle Pfeiffer take my calls and other than Keith Olbermann, who’s more spoof-able nowadays than Jon Stewart? Consider how much comedy gold there is to grab hold of: (more…)

INTRODUCING: ‘Yosi Needs a Hug’ by Gary Eaton
by Stage RightFellow Big Hollywood contributor Moxie and I have been in the process of developing a radio show over the past couple of months. Over the course of the development and rehearsal process, we’ve been focusing much attention on the NEA Conference Call story and the fall-out associated with it.
One of our ongoing segments has been to read aloud (in suitably dramatic fashion) Yosi Sergant’s twitter feed. (It really is quite entertaining). It became such a popular segment with the handful of friends who listen to our practice shows that Moxie decided we needed a “Yosi Update” theme song. She “Volun-Told” our friend and musician, Gary Eaton to write the diddy and within twenty four hours he had completed his masterpiece.
We hope that you, our the loyal readers of Big Hollywood, who are well-versed with the players involved in this story, will appreciate our “Yosi Update” song: (more…)

Stand Up Notes From Flyover Country: Facebook Comment to Folks in the News
by Jeffrey Jena
Like millions of other Americans I have been caught up in the Facebook/social networking craze. I believe that Facebook is like a near-death experience except your life passes before your eyes one friend request at a time. I have been trying to “friend” a lot of people in the news, without much success. There’s been no acceptance of my friend requests from President Obama, Dede Scozzafava, Jeremiah Wright and a host of others. So in order to reach them with some timely advice I am posting some comments here. If you are on their Facebook friend list maybe you could pass them along.
@ Dede Scozzafava – When you try to stand in the middle of the road you get run over. Thanks for showing where you stand when the heat was on. Go stand in the “has-been” line behind Arlen Specter.
@ Barack Obama - Mr. President, if the trip to Dover wasn’t a photo-op or political why take a photographer along? (more…)

Obama Gets Trick or Treaters!
by Steven CrowderIt’s that time of year again! Time for parents to celebrate their own holiday under the disguise of it being “all for the kids.” Be honest, how many times have you “checked the candy for safety” only to realize you’d devoured an entire pack of Snickers? Here’s hoping your Halloween is more enjoyable than Cindy and Carl’s (or Barack Obama’s for that matter)!

Trailer: ‘Pelosi On Elm Street: The Nightmare Continues’
by Steven CrowderI’ve got to be honest, this flick has me excited. I usually don’t get worked up over horror movie trailers, but the preview for this one alone chilled me to the bone. Step aside “Paranormal Activity”… There’s a new horror villain in town.

Serve.gov: Buffy Wicks Wasn’t Joking About ‘Being Part of This Administration’
by Patrick CourrielcheService to our nation is a noble effort, which is why some may view Serve.gov in a good light. How could anyone think that promoting national service is a bad thing?
Well, when our government uses “service” as a mechanism to keep their volunteers active in government, it is not so noble.
I claimed last week that the White House Office of Public Engagement’s rationale for promoting service was to keep Obama’s campaign volunteers active. I also claimed that the White House was using Serve.gov to manage those volunteers and as a mechanism to acquire new volunteers for their use. To support that claim I referenced a statement from Buffy Wicks, Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, on the now infamous August 10th conference call. Wicks explained to the call participants, an arts group that worked on Obama’s 2008 election campaign, the White House’s rationale for using service: (more…)

Michael Moore: Epic Failure or Right-Wing Double Agent?
by John NolteBesides being intellectually dishonest, anti-liberty and just plain wrong, the Daily Kos, HuffPo, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow and Michael Moore all have another thing in common: a smidgen of my respect for being upfront regarding their political agendas. Each fights dirty and dishonestly, but at least they’re in uniform — unlike those left-wing spies hiding pompously behind “objectivity” at CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, PBS, NPR, CBS and NBC.
I digress…
I like Michael Moore. I like his movies and while there are a number of stories floating around describing him as an awful human being, he seems affable enough during television interviews and personal appearances. Most of all, I like him because he lays completely bare his anti-all-things-freedom agenda for the world to see. He’s my ideological enemy, but unlike the coward Bill Maher who hides behind libertarianism and the coward Jon Stewart who hides behind being a “comic,” Moore makes no secret of the Statist goals he shamelessly pursues.
Too bad for his side he sucks at it. (more…)
