    Yesterday Academy Award winning actor Karl Malden died at age 97 of natural causes at home with his family. His long and varied career was rich with intelligently crafted roles. He is survived by his wife of 70 years Mona, two daughters Karla and Mila, three granddaughters and four great grandchildren. It was a little over five years ago that I had the privilege of meeting Karl Malden for the first time at his home in West Los Angeles along with his kind and beautiful wife Mona. I was there to do an interview that would later be published in...

So, in their honor, let's take a look at the real Sen. Al Franken, D (for D@#$head)-Minn., through a montage of some of the best and brightest moments of his moonbat life. I hope you're happy, Minnesota.

    "Undercover" (1943)"Underground Guerrillas" (U.S. 1944)On July 27, 1943, Ealing Studios in Great Britain released the movie Undercover on the guerrilla resistance movement in Axis-occupied Yugoslavia. Undercover was re-released by Columbia Pictures on September 14, 1944 in the United States under the title Underground Guerrillas. The movie was originally entitled Chetnik and was to document the Yugoslav Chetnik resistance movement headed by Draza Mihailovich. Because the movie was released when British support for Mihailovich was waning, however, the film was re-edited and references to Mihailovich and the Chetniks were deleted. The movie is invaluable, nevertheless, as a cinematic account of the...

    KPMT-TV ^ | October 17, 2008 | John Anderson
    Oliver Stone doesn't do comedy, intentionally. But perhaps he should: The half-baked, hayseed "Hamlet" he's created in " W." -- his very speculative biopic about our current president -- feels alive only when it ventures into the comically absurd. Despite Josh Brolin's genius and the fully realized portrayal he gives this character called George W. Bush, the movie operates at a paradoxical, dramatic disadvantage: It spends more than two hours trying to interest us in the fact that its subject isn't interesting. It could have been a public service announcement. The Stanley Weiser screenplay fails by attempting too much --...

Davis Marxists and the Timothy Leary Drug Utopians. Although the Communist Party (CPUSA) had made a great effort to formulate the 60’s "youth revolution" the drugs and hip philosophy was diverting their efforts in an unforeseen way. CPUSA had used folk music as a tool to attract followers to their labor movement in the 30’s 40’s and 50’s. Now they were continuing that strategy in the 60’s by attracting talented musicians...

His interview was published on the very day that the Playboy empire, which made a fortune exploiting women for decades, finally crossed an ethical line -- and then retreated. It all started when Playboy.com decided to publish a hate piece by rape-fantasist Guy Cimbalo that envisioned sexual attacks on leading conservative women, including Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly and bloggers Amanda Carpenter, Pamela Geller, Mary Katharine Ham and Michelle Malkin.

    My main thesis in this essay is that Christianity was a Greco-Roman religion in a way which Islam never was or could be. Islam was founded outside of the Greco-Roman world. Christianity was founded within this world, and gradually grew accustomed to Greco-Roman culture. This had a major long-term impact on how the adherents of these two religions treated the Greco-Roman legacy. Before I explain this, let me first say something about Roman civilization and why it was possible for Christianity to take over the Roman Empire.
