[Cinematical] Todd's Top 10 of 2009 - Cinematical: dead wrong, I loved The Hangover and I watched it like five time since I bought the blu ray and I think the The Hurt Locker is the second best of the year, you're are confusing quality and taste, only very ignorant or pretentious people think there's a difference between high art movies and quality popular movies and concessions should be made, and that's the same misconception tha made The Hurt Locker to be a flop, it was sold as an art movie when in fact it is, more than anything, and thrilling action movie with even less plot than Transformers 2, that's why people failed to see it, all movies should be judge on their own merits, just like boring existential stuff is not OK just because you're doing an "art film", stupid, incoherent, racist, sexist, braindead stuff is not aceptable because you're Michael Bay

[TIME: Real Clear Politics] The Mailbag Overflows With Olbermann - Real Clear Politics - TIME.com: If the greatest offense you can muster is at Olbermann for calling out the President for having the gall to demand that Kerry apologize for his non-insult while he himself-the man who ordered the invasion of Iraq-does no more than admit that "mistakes were made", then you should seriously consider re-aligning your priorities with, say, reality.

The media runing waving flags covering the war, were not manipulating us, they were serving up exactly what the customer ordered.

[Joy Tiz] The Decompensation of a President: For all of the narcissist’s grandiosity, he is driven by a relentless need to pursue and maintain a source of narcissistic supply.  A narcissist is at his most menacing when he perceives a threat to his perpetual supply of admiration and affirmation.  No drama Obama showed early on  the truculence typical of narcissists when they sense a threat to supply.  The same president who remains steadfast in his willingness to meet with Iran’s barbarian in chief, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad,  bleats about imagined desecration by Fox News.

[SWJ Blog] 9 November SWJ Roundup (SWJ Blog): Metz concludes that the United States has a long-standing, continuing problem “developing sound assumptions when the opponent operates within a different psychological and cultural framework.” He sees a pattern of misjudgments about Saddam and Iraq based on Western cultural and historical bias and a pervasive faith in the superiority of America’s worldview and institutions. This myopia contributed to America being caught off guard by Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990, then underestimating his longevity, and finally miscalculating the likelihood of a stable and democratic Iraq after he was toppled.

[neo-neocon] neo-neocon » Blog Archive » Is it self-confidence or is it arrogance?: History will vindicate Bush, Cheney and their noble company, on Iraq, including it’s planning and execution, while the peanut gallery left will fade into the oblivion of the innefectual, fools in every sense of the word, yapping endlessly for decades of sucker negotiations, always resulting in greater long-term danger and tragedy for innocents. Beware of B.O.’s promotion of the black hole of Afghanistan as the cause celebre, if he is elected.
