Movie Review: WALL-E
"I don't want to survive, I want to live!"
Visually it is all Pixar. As for its humor, WALL-E is a cross between classic slap-stick and modern satire. The story is pretty heavy for a children's cartoon, weighed down by its sci-fi roots (that it wears on its sleeve) and dystopian setting; however, many of the depressing back-story hints and elements are so subtle that they will fly over most kids' heads. But the moral is surprisingly uplifting, and the characters are delightful. I loved it.

On The Positive Side
Obama collects comics and can speak coherently. And, in the middle of an interview, he can make an impromptu Dr. Strangelove reference (at 5:20)...

Gay Alabama Fascists
I was informed that a protest last weekend at Birmingham's City Hall was canceled. Otherwise, I would have gone. But here are the gay and secular fascists at work, imposing their values on the "good Christian folk" of Birmingham through violence and harassment.
Here's our opponents, protesting a brain-dead woman's heterosexual husband's decision to see her pre-stated final choice carried out.
The confluence of lies, irrationality, and superstition hurts my brain.

Global Cooling Debunked
Libertarian Ed Brayton points to a survey that shows how scientists never built a consensus that human pollution would result in global cooling. The survey is a great read; it's a stunning indictment of how sensational and scientifically illiterate journalists were and are.

Mein Führer, I Can Talk!
Newt Gingrich, in what I can only assume is a move to re-emerge as the supreme commander of God's party, stated on Bill O'Reilly's show that we are gay and secular fascists. The whole interview is so dreadful as to seem like a parody, but the combination of losing the last election and the ever-present "Christian persecution complex" has wiped clean the reason and irony drives of the Republican machine.
Bill O'Reilly's complaining about boycotts and firings nearly gave me the vapors, but it was Kermit the Newt who took the taco:
As far as violence, almost all of the anti-Prop 8 protests have been completely peaceful. However, as recently as early this month, a Syracuse man was shot for being gay. And stomping on some poor lady's styrofoam cross, while reprehensible, doesn't seem to me as violent as good Christian folk historically have been to the gays. It's hilarious that Newt can maintain a straight, pudgy face whilst insisting that a few angry gays who have physically hurt no one represent a movement's willingness "to use violence."
As far as harassment, I have two words: Terry Schiavo. The history of Christianity, even in the US, is saturated with dogmatic, childish bullying.
Make sure you're sitting for this next bit:

Look, I think there is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us, is prepared to use violence, to use harassment.First of all, no one wants to make Newt get gay married, or even approve of it. That's just part of his own crypto-fascist fantasy and persecution complex. Other than doing those two things, I find it hard to fathom what "impose" might reasonably mean.

And, frank -- for that matter, if you believe in the historic version of Islam or the historic version of Judaism, you have to confront the reality that these secular extremists are determined to impose on you acceptance of a series of values that are antithetical, they're the opposite, of what you're taught in Sunday school.For now on, Newt has to sit in a wheelchair and speak with a German accent. It's the only way I will ever be able to take him seriously.
The New "Star Trek" trailer
Let's not talk about it.
But Phase II episode Blood and Fire part 1 will hit the net next month.

His Lord Jesus Rejected The Bail-Out Plea
Homophobic schyster James Dobson's Focus on the Family announced they were laying off 202 people (roughly 20% of their workers). This from an organization that just gave half a million dollars to Yes on 8 in California.
Sorry we have to let you go, but what do you want me to do?. Feeding your family isn't nearly as important as fighting gay ones.
What's In A Name?
In a BSG webisode to air soon on SciFi.com, Gaeda and his Pegasus counterpart, Lt. Hoshi, are shown to be a couple, complete with gross-out gay kissing and stuff. Hopefully no stump humping though; that's just sick.
