Notes on a Zig Zag Paper:
The Gitmo “debate” is a phony. The Left states a ridiculous proposition and everybody steps in to discuss it. Today’s NYT op ed leads with:

“The United States has led the way in fighting for human rights, but mistreating prisoners makes the world see our moral claims as hypocrisy.”

The paragraph should read,

“The world sees our moral claims as hypocrisy because our press repeats lies over and over again until the lies become the known truth.”

Gitmo is an MSM manufactured fiction. A fiction with the purpose of weakening our military, influencing young people not to join the military, and warning those in it that when the Democrats take over they will charge as many military as they can with war crimes.

Concentrating on Durbin's statements bores me. The Democratic Party is the Hard Left Party of the USA. If you approve, vote for them. If you don't, don't. The MSM will continue to publish everything they allege as if it were true. We have to be aware of it.

Andrew Sullivan backs Durbin: does anybody read him any more? He’ll get his job back at the New York Times any day now. Or if the Advocate goes weekly he’ll go there. We are all classified as the "Pro Torture American Right." He'll be front and center for the War Crimes trials. BTW he only really cares for Gay Marriage. Period.

Hollywood grosses down: movie attendance is down even bigger when you consider the near doubling of ticket prices over the past ten years. Sometimes "following the money" is the wrong way to look at things. Movies are in trouble. More precisely, the mega cost movie business is in trouble. Nobody is going to see them. Maybe it’s nobody can afford to go and see them. A sign of the times is the merger of the number two and three theatre chains. Hollywood better turn Right and wake up. Also, there are no masculine young leading men in anything. The latest is the total fruit playing Octavius Caesar in an upcoming TNT epic. This guy could only be emporer of a bath house in West Hollywood, and even there he might be too feminine.

Any time there is a successful business, that business will attract people whose sole interest is in making as much money as possible. When those types of people become the majority, the real purpose of the business becomes making money, not making a good product. That is what has happened to the entire entertainment business.

Gutless GOP still won’t stop the filibuster. The filibuster, the practice that has always been used to perpetuate injustice, evil, and bad politics, is the tool of every present and future political criminal. The political criminals are afraid to rid themselves of their weapon of choice.

And for those of you who aren't pissed off yet, go here. DuToit has a tale to tell.....

A terrific summation of French policy is at No Pasaran. Great POV.....
