Cool New Movie Posters
  • I’ll get to the story in a moment, but first a little contextualizing background… I’m a collector by nature. I’ve collected lots of things in my life but in the last 10 years my biggest collection is of movie posters. There was a period during the 90s when most of my spare time and money was spent scouring the country for posters. I have a lot less free time and [...]
    • BP’s Friends in High Places
  • I wrote a post a couple days ago about a new DNC effort to tie Republicans to the BP oil spill using faux-pop posters with fake slogans. Eric at Free State Revolution saw the post and agreed that what was missing from the DNC’s rogues gallery was a poster for President Obama who is, after all, the #1 recipient of BP’s largesse. Since he does graphic arts work for a [...]
    • How Close Were Obama and Fannie?
  • For the record, I think Fannie and Freddie have done a lot of good helping lower income families make it into homes. However, it’s now clear that the paradigm didn’t work. Fannie got involved buying up bad loans from lenders like Countrywide and now taxpayers are going to be stuck with the bill (which some estimate may exceed $200 billion). Barack Obama is on the stump claiming he can reform [...]
    • Obama: I Got Smeared Too!
  • Well the polls are out now, the ones that take into account whatever bounce the Republicans received last week, and the news is not good for team Obama. Both Zogby and Gallup show McCain up 3-4 points, for the first time ever I believe. In my opinion, one of the things helping push the Republicans over the top is the relentless smears on the very likable Sarah Palin. We’ve noted [...]
    • Michelle’s Photoshop Competition
  • Michelle Malkin suggested conservative bloggers should respond to the posters created by Rich Silverstein for the Huffington Post. You can see Rich’s posters on Michelle’s site. Essentially they’re a visual attempt to sum up the left’s problems with George Bush. I decided to give it a go. Here are my two entries (click for a larger size): If you think that first one is too rough, check out this post [...]
    • Not Coming Soon to a Theatre Near You: “Little Obama” (Indonesian Movie Trailer)

I liked this little gem: Senin, 21 Juni 2010, 04:23:01 After some consideration, production team of LITTLE OBAMA, a biopic on the childhood life of the President of the USA, Barrack Obama, has decided to drop praying scene [...]
    • Obama: Republic or Empire? (Update)
  • There’s a broad definition of censorship which goes something like this: Action taken to prevent others from having access to a book or information; a public objection to words, subjects and/or information in books, films, and other media with the idea of depriving others from reading or viewing them. Personally, I prefer a slightly tighter definition, one that includes the fact that real censorship is usually the action of government [...]
    • Dems Offer Differing Retractions on Sotomayor
  • From Politico: In the past few days, supporters confronted with the remark have offered a range of divergent tactics and tones, offering explanations that span from apologetic to defiant to suggesting Sotomayor may have been joking. President Obama himself addressed the bubbling controversy, which is emerging as among the leading GOP lines of attack against Sotomayor, asserting on Friday Sotomayor “would have restated” the comment if given another chance. But [...]
    • Democrat and Media Hypocrisy on White House Lobbying (Case No. 7,422)
  • This is kind of a “dog bites man” story, but I’m posting it anyway. After being re-elected in 2004, President Bush staked his remaining political capital on an ultimately unsuccessful effort to reform the social security system. Democrats were vehemently opposed to such an idea, especially President Bush’s proposal to foster more “choice and competition” by offering a private investment account “option”. And as you will see from the video [...]

    • DNC to Dems: BP is the New Halliburton

    John on July 12, 2010 at 1:24 pm

    Not in the sense that BP has questionable ties to the current administration. On the contrary, the point of this new DNC site is to tie minority Republicans to BP’s oil spill. They seem to be hoping this will lead to a wilding campaign as each of the posters on the site are available in large pdf format. Here’s the style:

    Angle is just one of the targets. They also have posters for Michelle Bachmann, Rand Paul, Steve King and of course Joe Barton. Conspicuously absent is the #1 recipient of BP lobbying money in recent years, Barack Obama.

    It’s amusing to see the DNC use these faux populist images to attack Republicans. After all, it was their candidate who made this sort of neo-Marxist idolizing popular in the first place. From hope to political hackery in two short years.

      Not amusing, but infuriating: the deliberate memory hole about Obama being the biggest recipient of British Petroleum cash during the last 20 years.

      Deceit and hypocrisy are a liberal’s stock and trade.

      By the way, these are the pricks who build all of these sites. Including the one for the false prophet.

      Let’s see, Obama received $77,000 from BP and yet he still wanted to shut down all deepwater offshore drilling. How much did BP have to pay Angle and Paul for them to come out and decry the $20B BP escrow fund as a “slush fund” and calling criticism of BP “un-American”? If I were BP I’d really rethink my donation strategy. Why pay Obama when we can get what we want from Republicans for free.

      DCDUDE,

      This is the only time in recent memory when a President has asked a company to simply hand over $20B without any legal process involved. That may not be “un-American” but its certainly unusual and possibly unique. It’s not unreasonable to be concerned about the precedent being set, especially given this President’s history with big business.

      The sly suggestion of the website, i.e. some Republicans support oil spills! or at least don’t care, is hardly a fair conclusion.

      The DNC is in midterm crisis mode. That’s all this is.

      No less fair than the insinuation that because Obama took $77K from BP (compared to the $750 million he raised overall), he is somehow in bed with Big Oil.
