Open Thread Tuesday

Wanted to post early in the thread in hopes that someone at BH will see this…

Would it be possible for Big Hollywood to create an honor roll of those in Hollywood who have taken as stand against Polanski, the NEA, and other liberal causes? I'd like to steer my money in the direction of those who stand on principle in the face of liberal looniness…I'd be willing to bet a lot of us would.

For instance, I've never watched Criminal Minds (not on at a good time in my week), but I'd be willing to get DVDs from Netflix to see what I've been missing and to support Edward Allen Bernero.

It's too important to ignore. Our soldiers are dying overseas, while the buffoonish Commander in Chief turns his back on them and dines on arugula salad with toasted pecans at party fundraisers.

Thank God CNN is fact checking comedy routines! Time to honor their vigilance:

TOP FIVE CNN FACT CHECKS OF COMEDY ROUTINES

Please come by and add your own memories of CNN comedy fact checking glory.

Jimma Keeyotta, youah foamuh president, spews gobbidge from his pie-hole: Jimma recently waxed profound on the topic of racism, attempting to marginalize all who dare find fault with Barack the Just and Wise and Just Wise.

It was a near-miracle. When Jimma opened his mouth, the wise thoughts burst forth from his febrile brain, then traveled downward and past his oversized teeth, where they fell right out of his simple head, like sewage from a busted pipe.

All praise Jimma, champion of the world's oppressed and downtrodden, a group which includes a Harvard-educated multimillionaire lawyer-turned-president, while excluding Israeli Jews.

They've taken a lesson from the french. *gag*

"Would it be possible for Big Hollywood to create an honor roll of those in Hollywood who have taken as stand against Polanski"?

The problem is, once that list was compiled none of them would ever work again.

My favorite Robert Young movie was the one where he played a soldier and there was a ghost. Geez, I am getting so senile. I can't remember much about it except that I watched it on TV when I was a kid and liked it. (Didn't the ghost ride a torpedo or something like that?)

What confuses me about the Atheist thing is the aversion to collectivism. An atheist seems to me, should be the ultimate individualist. The modern liberal is so intertwined with collectivism that an Atheist should look somewhere else for a like mind. At least an Atheist who understands why he is an atheist. Not the "all Christians are just stupid, right-wing, oppressors" kind.

In an archaic manner it would probably be good to have a world currency, but that is taking into account, all the parties involved would play fair, which they won't, so I don't think it will happen.

Currently nations and financiers make a killing by playing games with exchange rates. For example, China's currency is not independent and the government sets it's value to their benefit. And George Soros made multiple "killings" in Russia, Indonesia and I think he pulled the run in Mexico too.

It would be nice if that crap went away, but the potential down sides far out weigh the potential benefits, which would be to the benefit of the common people. Which is why it ain't gonna happen.

He looks kinda sinister in the photo…

Robert Young was great in Northwest Passage!

What a sweet show that was.

Robert Young was so wonderful. My only regret is that this dear man had no confidence whatsoever in his ability and thus sank into alcoholism. I'm so thankful he was able to pull himself out towards the end but it grieves me that he spent the bulk of his life suffering. He really was an incredible actor.

And less face it, if it were on today, Robert Young wouldn't be the Father–he's too good looking. It would have to be be someone bumbling and fat. The neighbors would have to be a very successful black couple whose children have no problems whatsoever, And sadly, the show would never be called Father Knows Best. More likely, it would be called Dad Learns Another Lesson or something equally inane.

A share of Jews fear Christians, tho they are the Jews best friend, because they still consider Hitlers supposedly representing himself as Christian as a fact and the resulting holocaust regardless he leaned far left as a socialist. There is also the Christian belief in Jesus which is still considered
heresy with some in Israel. Also, believe it or not there are some Jews that think the time of Israel is past and no longer considered having a special relationship with GOD, They have their hopes tied to this great muslim nation to quote our great and glorious leader as their refuge. I am as usual saying more than I know.

Wow! Am I the first to mention Robert Young was "Marcus Welby, M.D.?" The reference to current affairs is obvious.

By the way, my Dad was a physician practicing during the time Marcus Welby played. He noticed the day following the TV show, many of his patients complained of symptoms featured the previous night, and called it "Welby Syndrome!"

Also, those were the days I envied James Brolin's freewheeling ways; now I pity him in his domestic situation….

I remember Mr. Streisand was a cool, swinging, motor-cycle riding young doc with attitude on Marcus Welby M.D.. Remember this was the seventies. He was actually almost likable then.

Ahhh, Dr. Steve Kiley…what hath you wrought?

Obama praises intelligence community
President Barack Obama may have shelved the term “Global War on Terrorism,” but he praised the intelligence community’s worldwide fight against al Qaeda during a speech at the National Counterterrorism Center Tuesday

How does Obama get support from 64% of American jews and like 9% of Israelis?

It also appears that 65% of my agnostic/atheist brethren are a bunch of idiots as well.

I guess I may as well plug some of the writings on 3 blogs I run here. Let's see what I have to offer…

From my politics blog: Muslim riots at the Temple Mount and Shuafat, incited by our "peace partners" Fatah/Hamas.

From my comics blog: Marvel editor Tom Brevoort says they won't go back to the "classic" version of the Avengers. Of course they won't, because they're letting Brian Bendis destroy the series now.

And, from my game blog: a video of the GI Joe video game made by Konami in 1992! The recent movie was awful, but this game by contrast is worth the price of admission.

Well, I think the logical philosophical conclusion to atheism would be existentialism, so you're quite correct in that an atheist with intellectual integrity should be individualist to the extreme. However, real existentialist philosophy is so inherently depressing that few people can emotionally embrace it. That may be why, as some others have suggested, most liberals run on emotion rather than logic.

By the way, I've been a Christian for the past 34 years, and I've met relatively few "stupid, right-wing oppressors" in the Church. Mostly, they're just people.

Very late in life, Robert Young was diagnosed as bi-polar. He spent a life time under that pressure, but you never hear anyone say anything bad about him. Kids adored him and he was married to the same woman for decades. It's a shame that people have to suffer and it's a shame when they have given so much to so many, even simply in entertainment, and are still cursed and must suffer.
