downloaded this Fri its a good film.

remember people if you use a P2P client with encryption. like utorrent there is no way for your ISP to peek into your lil packets. Ergo no bandwidth throttling or NAPO visits

well over at IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base)they have a new feature. Users can create the Biography for the character of any movie.

For example someone could follow the link and write one for Archibald Asparagus from Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie.

Sierra Club on Hummers vs. hybrids

December 12, 2007 5:04pm

the Sierra Club bumper sticker on the back of your Hybrid suv. does not make up for the 50 mile commute from your 5 acre Mc-mansion. All this on land that was used for 'local' farming 30 years ago. no wonder my 'organic' tomatoes come from Holland.

Props to Xeni for posting about some horror films.

i really enjoyed Sukeban Boy by Igushi. He remindes me of a cross between Takashi Miike and Ryuhei Kitamura. cant wait for its ship to come into the bay. Because it sure wont be coming to a theater near me.

Turkey may charge Dawkins' publisher for "insulting believers"

November 30, 2007 12:09pm

its should come as no surprise but part of what i love about Dawkins is that he takes no $h!t. therefore is often thought of as a prick.

the End of Faith was great. Yet the last 2 time i have seen Sam Harris if he had been any more combative he would have caught a case.

Turkey will be kept out of the EU because of racism and religious bigotry. In addition to the fact that they would become the second largest member of the EU parliament and the French cant have that.

Schoolteacher in Sudan on trial for naming teddy bear Muhammad

November 29, 2007 10:42am

in my time in Muslim countries i met allot of Muhammad's and Ali's for that matter. Not to mention all Jesus's in Latin America. Not once did anyone get charged with blasphemy for drinking with me.
Yet being a teacher, living is Sudan, and not understanding they have a Theocratic Dictatorship is foolish to say the least.

Been watching this show since it started with my 3 1/2 yearolds they love it. the music is very refreshing. Since it isnt rooted in the folk music of my parents generation. It is a more polished and hipper version of Pancake Mountain. With time their production skill will meet their ambition.

Dungeons & Dragons 4.0 Makes Remote Pen-and-Paper Play Easier

October 17, 2007 6:57am

As someone who is a stay at home parent of 2 4yearolds and i do hospice care for both of my parents in home. I truly have no time for weekly sessions lasting days. in addition i left D&D for the better voice acting and story telling of video games years ago. with the current wave of games for counsels focusing on co-op play i have what i got from D&D. companionship from other geeks. plus i am not stuck in the O so stale world of dwarfs and goblins.

Public radio station in NYC won't air "Howl" for fear of the FCC

October 9, 2007 6:04am

You are a wise and generous host. I am posting this despite the fact that the last joke may be on me due the age of the post no one will read it. If Mel Gibson's antisemitism, Michael Jacksons @^&*#$%,Tom Cruise's Scientology and Rush Limbaugh's drug addiction are fair game. then someone like Ginsberg who made his personal political and poetic is to be judged by that . After all Ginsberg did not pick the route of J.D. Salinger or Robert De Niro who keep the personal very personal. I wonder what Kathy Acker would have to say about a childs ability to consent to sex with an adult? Ginsberg like Elia Kazan & Ronald Reagan bet on the wrong horse. The LBGT community needs less Ginsberg's and more Dan Savages, John Waters, Buck Angles and Tammy Baldwins.

Full Discloser: I dont find all my jokes funny either

Okkoto
you are spot on and i agree with your assessment of Haggard and Ginsberg's life and work. but i was talking people who will defend Ginsberg while condemning people like R.Kelly. Yet in my mind just having "No conflict of interest" isnt enough to give an advocate of NAMBLA respect.


Whistlingfish
i think you are going in the right direction. your south Park example clearly illustrates why the FCC is becoming irrelevant. Because South Park is on cable and not broadcast is why they were not fined for their 'fuck, fuck, fuck' episode a few years back.

Public radio station in NYC won't air "Howl" for fear of the FCC

October 7, 2007 7:47am

Cory no problem i understand, this is your ball and you can take it and go home. It was just something i noticed and didnt understand why.

I thought my comments were funny.

If Ted Haggards behavior was relevant to his work then so is Ginsbergs. I have never advocated for the "the suppression of Ginsberg's work". Its would be much more radical to use the work of a contemporary artist to push free speech issues. Not some 50 yearold poem. But if old works is what you are after why dont we broadcast a reading of the Marquis de Sade's Juliette.
Yet i do find it hypocritical for the left (and i am a known Red)to use the behavior of Jeff Gannon and Ted Haggard as a cudgel to smash their work while making excuses for the the likes of Ginsberg.

But much more importantly why do we even care about broadcast media and the FCC. They are going the way of 8track....

PS it made me laugh that in a forum about censorship i was....

Bucket of lard contains 105,000 calories

October 5, 2007 10:16am

it is still often used in baking plus the making of any traditional southern food such as fried chicken. let us not forget that taco cart you find so quaint is using lard in its beans.
Yet Lard contains just 40 percent saturated fat (compared with nearly 60 percent for butter). Its level of monounsaturated fat (the "good" fat) is a respectable 45 percent, double butter's paltry 23 or so percent.

you failed to live up to your name. After all Cynicism emphasizes two principles: the absolute responsibility of the individual as the moral unit, and the autocracy of the will.
