Case For The Hurt Locker
It may seem small and possibly irrelevant, but one of the main reasons I am pulling for The Hurt Locker over Avatar for the award is this.
While Avatar depicts the military as an evil thuggish right arm of corporations who are willing to take innocent life just to make a profit, The Hurt Locker depicts military men as courageous, compassionate who put their lives on the line to save innocent life.
And since Avatar has been seen by a wider audience, The Hurt Locker will gain a lot more viewers if it wins the academy award and maybe, just maybe more people will see our military for who they really are.

Shoddy Reporting
Once again, an article on the unreasonable persecution of people who appear to be doing the right thing, and not anywhere in the article does the reporter tell me whether these people are assholes or not. I don't even know where I stand on this. On the one hand, I am skeptical of all this drought business. On the other hand, HOAs are the Devil.
Oh, England!
Your madness completes me! Seriously, what child doesn't dream of finding treasure in the yard only to be prosecuted in court years later for not turning it over? The Nazis were always trying to take Indy's treasure too. Yeah, I went there.

Back The Fuck Off, Anaheim!
You know not what you reap when you meddle with nerd love. Be careful where you meddle lest it become nerd rage! Seriously, though, this is bullshit! L.A. and Orange County just want all of San Diego's good shit! Not fucking fair! Make your own good shit, biters! At least the Padres are safe for now.

Aaaaagh!
I don't if there is any group of people I want to collectively punch in the face more than 9/11 Truthers. I've seen countless shows where experts have shown with actual real world experiments and data how the type of things these people suspect are technically impossible and the only "proof" Truthers ever give is that something doesn't look right to them. Fuck these jokers.
BTW, there are more than 100,000 members of the American Institute of Architects just to give you and idea of how insignicant 1,000 opinions are. And that's not every architect in America; That's just the members of that association.

The Costs Are Always Passed On To The Consumer
Populist moves like Obama's credit card laws, seem to always make more of a mess in the end. Those who make the laws will never learn.

Pretty Good Piece.
Whoa, an actual Blogust sighting in the previous post. I was all set to post this, because normally our founding father would have taken care of it, and I thought he had moved on. Well, check it out anyway.

Third Hand Smoke.
Anti-smoking has finally jumped the shark. And I thought it was bad when they cited the psychological damage the mere sight of smoking in movies caused.

Not Finding Nemo.
Look, they're using CGI animation for something other than heartwarming, Earthhugging Pixar horseshit.
For the record, I have nothing against Pixar, but I feel most of their films would have been well served to feature more decapitation.

Nice Shot.
Came across this via a friend in San Diego. I think it's a well done little piece.
Wow.
So this is a little out of hand wouldn't you say? Of course, I firmly sided with the family right up until this part:
"The mother said she expects an apology and may sue."
In my perfect world she gets locked up for even considering it.

If you can only see one movie this year...kill yourself, because there is no way to decide between the ukelele movie and this, the fixed wheel bicycle movie:
True story, BTW. I played in a charity poker tournament a couple of weeks back that was put on by this guy I know. This guy is a pretty gregarious dude, to the point of actually being kind of a straight up attention junkie, but he runs a cool little bar and he's well connected and if he likes you it can get you into some cool stuff from time to time, so you put up with the guy. Could not put his fucking ukelele down for the entire damn tournament.

Sorry, Folks...
...but I have to side with Obama here. I love Vegas as much as the next guy, but let's not pretend it's beyond reproach. People gambling away money they don't have to spend on that sort of thing is a real problem in this country. The powers that be in Vegas seem to think by putting out a couple of Public Service Announcements, they've shielded themselves from any kind of scrutiny.

One Thing I Learned In Philosophy Class
I've just come home. I took out the trash, sat at my computer and read some Facebook posts, read some news articles and then visited Blogust and read a few posts here. After digesting all the information and hearing all the stories I've decided to quote an old existentialist and share the sentiment that, hell is other people.
San Francisco Trash Cops
San Francisco, the city that keeps on giving. Composting is now law, well in 2011.
Here's a letter from our office manager. I guess co-workers are complaining that there's no composting in the office yet. These people are hopeless... They should be complaining that composting is a law, not the other way around.
"Currently the building is not set up for composting- I know it’s a law, but it’s one with no punishment system in place (until 2011)
BUT
The building is currently working towards getting a composting program in place. Nothing in a business happens overnight so just be patient: it will happen."

I Couldn't Agree More
I have felt for a while now that pro-choice has turned into pro-abortion. It's nice to see that articulated.

Really?
This morning I heard one of the sports radio blowhards over at ESPN describe himself as "socially liberal and fiscally conservative." I've actually heard that buzzing around for a while now. I understand the desire to take the best attributes of our fractured two party system and create an a la carte political stance that works for you, but aren't those two things really mutually exclusive?

1 out of a 100,000 Cases For Smaller Government
McCain/Feingold got struck down by the supreme court today. I think this is a good thing. As usual, when the Government tries to do something they create a law, and then that law ends up getting used in all kinds of ways that were never intended. This video sums it up pretty well.

Regulate It
Like Reagan once said:
[G]overnment's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
The usual crap is stated in that article: safety, fairness, AIDS...
Stossel sheds some truth on this kind of Government fiasco when it was applied to a business that did cornrows.
These regulations are a tool of established businesses to stifle competition and a tool of Government to force yet more control.

Political Ads
This one's pretty good. Its made by pro-Republican Scott Brown people in Massachusetts. They are goofing on the anti-Scott Brown ads put out by the Democrat, Coakley.

I Love This Show.
There are very few funny sitcoms on TV these days. This is an outtake reel from one of them, Better Off Ted, and it's pretty outstanding. NSFW language.
Seriously, you should be checking out this show as well as Community on NBC if you get the chance. Pretty funny stuff.

No Spiderman 4.
Sam Raimi is out and Sony plans to reboot the franchise in 2012 with a high school aged Peter Parker, which means exactly what you think it means. One of those Twilight kids is going to be Spiderman. Come on, Sony, may I suggest a different route?

Because the 70's sucked.
Not sure I totally agree with the "we have more leisure time" comment, but through the awesomeness of technology I have been able to work from home for close to 6 years now.

Why Don't They Ever Hold These Things In The Summer?
How smart is it to hold a global warming conference where its about to be winter? I guess that shows the cluelessness of this entire movement.
"Denmark has a maritime climate and milder winters than its Scandinavian neighbors. It hasn’t had a white Christmas for 14 years, under the DMI’s definition, and only had seven last century. Temperatures today fell as low as minus 4 Celsius (25 Fahrenheit)."
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Oh, Shoot Me Already.
Seriously, I have no beef with the Ukelele:
But as usual something innocuous and kind of endearing takes on a whole new meaning when people start taking it too fucking seriously. What's the over/under on number of days before I have to smash some hipster jack-off over the head with his 'uke?'

Another Black Conservative
The novelty is starting to wear off. Now if we can only get some of these guys in office.
Jon Stewart On Climategate
Here
This is funny, but I take exception to the tone in the end the clip. It smacks of the idea that conservatives don't want to believe about climate change because they want to rape the environment while liberals are so concerned with nature well being, that climate change is a natural fear. Personally, I don't think the left cares about the environment anymore than the right and vice versa, but I do think the left wants climate change to be real because it would pose a referendum on capitalism. Polar bears just act as a mascot.

Litigation Lottery!
No embed code so you'll have to click here to check this out, but the gist of it is that a mother is suing the post office for returning a letter to her son in Iraq stamped "deceased." Turns out, her son was fine and it was just a horrible mistake. So, of course, she wants a bunch of money for being upset. Fuck the lawyers. Fuck the media for giving her a voice here.
