I wonder who will play the roles in the (You know its coming) Hollywood Documentary about the OWS protesters I am so exited!! I already predict the movie will be a Oscar winner!!! Do you think Sean Penn should be the main male character that confronts the bad Wall Street conservatives?-who should play the person who started the idea-maybe a female actress like Susan Sarandon? How about who will play Rick Perry-or Sarah Palin-got to be real angry dark people you think?

NEW YORK -- "Letters From Iwo Jima," the second of Clint Eastwood's two-part look at World War II, is the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures' pick as the best film of 2006. Also on the list, announced Wednesday: "Flags of Our Fathers," in which Eastwood shows the aftermath of war through the eyes of the military men who raised the American flag during the Battle of Iwo Jima. "This is his masterpiece," NBR President Annie Schulhof said of "Letters From Iwo Jima." "I was blown away by its delicacy, the poignancy of how he talks about war. I...

Outstanding show about the search for Heavy Water that was produced in Norway and sunk in its lake in 1944, and the Allies hunt for WMDs that we thought the germans were making.

The tan-colored home in Shoreline shows signs of the times. A blue sign near the window reads, "Bush-Cheney." A large one near the front walkway declares, "Elect David Irons -- King County Executive." Ken Potts, a Vietnam War veteran and Shoreline resident, has become the target of vandalism aimed at his politics. An electronic display in an upstairs window scrolls these words in red: "Liberalism is a mental disorder." "That's a quote from Michael Savage," Ken Potts, the owner of the home, explains, referring to the strident talk radio personality. "He's a little right of me, but he comes up...

By Patrick O’Grady VeloNews editor at large This report filed August 19, 2005 A few irate letter-writers have suggested that we keep politics out of cycling here at VeloNews.com, and we can see their points, once they've removed their Bush-Cheney 2004 caps. After all, the liars, cheaters and dopers infesting politics might teach cycling's liars, cheaters and dopers a few new tricks, and God knows it's already tough enough to tell who's on the up and up these days, no matter how much blood gets drawn or spilled. Still, if the daily papers are going to cover the Recreationist-in-Chief's mountain-bike...

The Democrats turn their lonely eyes to Hillary: Give us a message. Lead us home. Even for the Wonder Woman of the Party of JFK, this is no easy task. How to decry the excesses of the Bush administration and the GOP Congress without validating the label "The Party of No"? How to lure enough GOP votes to win elections at a time when Democrat means liberal and liberal is a term of derision? A Web site set up by a minister and his daughter (www.liveliberal.com) has an answer you can wear on a T-shirt: "Liberal is not a dirty...

Please help me send a reply to this cartoonist that hates Bush Dear anonymous, It doesn’t take a whole lot of analysis or research to discover that: The author of the Newsweek snippet (and it was just a brief article) is not a flaming leftie; he is the man who uncovered the Monica Lewinsky story and made Bill Clinton’s life a whole lot harder. Newsweeks’ was not the only report about Korans being ripped, kicked, flushed or defaced by American interrogators; there have been unchallenged stories along the same lines in the Financial Times, the Independent and the New York...

Thursday, May 19, 2005 Garfield volunteers for military recruiting battle By M.L. LYKE SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER Sgt. Melisa Porter had just spread out the freebies yesterday on her Army of One table -- give-away pens, pencils, computer games, slick brochures -- when the anti-recruiting leader arrived ready to do battle. "Do you understand that we don't want you here?" said PTSA co-Chairwoman Amy Hagopian, who came to the Garfield High School lunchroom carrying pictures of Iraq vets maimed in war. Lunchroom confrontation Zoom Dan DeLong / P-I Amy Hagopian, co-chairwoman of the Garfield High PTSA, lights up Marine Sgt. Christopher...

Anti-Bushies take anger out on the wrong target I'm not sure how many readers read or heard about the haranguing of Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Due at Seattle Central Community College during the Thursday protests of President Bush's second inauguration. Due was badly harassed by a large crowd that destroyed military literature and eventually drove the man off while under campus security protection. It is one of the great, colossal mistakes of the so-called peace movement that they badger and mistreat recruiters and other people whose job it is to keep the ranks filled. Speaking as a reservist who was...

Freeway Free Speech Day: Driving America to Think October 13, 2004 See http://freewayblogger.com/freewayfreespeechday.htm The idea is to get together with people to cooperate on materials/construction of inexpensive, highly visible anti-bush signage to decorate our public spaces with on Oct 13th. See http://freewayblogger.com/ for examples. The idea is not to stump for a particluar candidate, but to get brazenly humiliating and derogatory, thought-provoking commentary on the illegitimate Bush administration. Anybody else in the Seattle area interested in cooperating on sign making this weekend/early next week?

SAN FRANCISCO -- "Bourne Supremacy" star Matt Damon, "Lost in Translation" actress Scarlett Johansson and other celebrity artists are donating their talents - not just their cash - to an online effort to unseat President Bush. The Internet political group MoveOn.org on Tuesday premieres 10 new anti-Bush ads created by award-winning directors and starring popular Hollywood actors. An independent group not connected directly to Democratic candidate John Kerry, MoveOn has promised an unconventional approach to the election. "It makes a real difference when performers and visual artists can use their talent as an attraction," said Marty Kaplan, a scholar of...
