… seemed on the superficial level to offer continuity, it was actually an ideological reversal, back to the Liberal wing of the Republican Party. Though he lambasted his opponent Michael Dukakis, tarring him with the “Liberal” label, which Reaganism had turned into a dirty word, Bush himself was every bit a Progressive. His admitted trouble with “the vision thing” prevented him from continuing with Reagan’s unfinished work: shrinking government, e…
I am sitting in my hotel room in Bangkok on a Sunday afternoon; taking a break from prepping a film that will star Djimon Hounsou and be directed by the Steven Spielberg of Thailand, Prachya Pinkaew. Prachya is famous for Om Bak, Chocolat and Tom Yung Goon, three of the highest grossing films in the history of the country. You may be wondering why I am in Thailand and not somewhere in the United States. Why am I in a country 9,000 miles away fr…
…ve been playing this for a few weeks. This week’s council meeting was the last one before Halloween, so of course the request was to dress in a costume. Little did they know, deep in the back of my bedroom closet was my old Star Trek costume. I hadn’t thought about it for years, mainly because I wasn’t able to fit in it. I dug deep and there it was! A little dusty, a little rumpled, but totally intact, complete with the Communicator. H…
“Space the final frontier….” I don’t think there is a person in this country if not the planet that does not recognize the beginning of this preamble. Most of us know the rest too. In 1966 Star Trek warped onto the TV screens all across America. Gene Roddenberry’s creation showed us a future of hope and enlightenment where all our races worked together to achieve a better life. True, back then it was just Science Fiction but then a strange thing…
…of the Obama Coalition”, Thomas Edsall, by pushing “takers” into a non-working, entitlement, nanny state, socialistic philosophical ideology. Republicanism is not lost but it is certainly a candidate for a “Progressive Lite” label….or what as “Congress is Useless” all about? http://www.hollywoodrepublican.net/2011/11/congress-is-useless/ And all that is supported in academia today is under the myth of “academic freedom”. Collectivism and totalit…
… movie, Jack and Jill. I have not gone so far as to savor the NBC show Whitney, but give me time because I am sure that it will grow on me. The fact that I keep trying scares me. I love to watch ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.” I love the pomp, the circumstance the fact that the show is like a bunch of activists from GLAAD playing a practical joke on straight men. These straight male stars dress in poncy costumes and nance around the …
…Mr. Ramirez expects to formalize his candidacy in late February in time to qualify for the ballot in March. A Hollywood Republican supports Mr. Ramirez in his bid for Congress. We believe Al Ramirez is an up and coming star in the Republican Party and we will follow the above press release with a series of indepth articles about Mr. Ramirez and his platform. …
…m at the pinnacle of their profession. For anyone who disputes this, two words: Brian Griese. Moreover, the NFL is notoriously unsentimental in its treatment of players who can no longer perform up to league standards. When a star fades, another rises to take his place. This may offend Liberal hearts, but what better way is there to “spread the wealth around,” that to spread the opportunity around? Let the guy who can do the job have the job. Fin…
…rned about the image of the industry and took steps to protect that image. Each studio had its niche within Hollywood, so moviegoers knew what to expect when the MGM lion roared or the bold WB badge faded in. Performers, even stars, knew they came third and if they became an embarrassment, their contract’s “morals clause” would be invoked and they’d be out on the street. The result was a Hollywood which the American public idealized, granted bran…
…d by television, radio and the Internet. Perhaps my lack of interest since summer is simply due to burnout. Or perhaps it’s the change in lifestyle after moving to Texas while traveling back and forth between the Lone Star State and California for business. More than likely, however, my lack of motivation may be symptomatic of seeing so much of the same recurring themes, a.k.a. progressive lunacy, that occurs in the news cycle each day. …
