7 I asked this the other day in a thread, but I don't think I ever got a response:  Can anybody tell me about the races/point me to a resource for information on the primaries in Maryland?  I realize most Republicans here have a better chance of getting crushed by falling satellites than being elected to office, but I'd at least like to say that I knew about races besides Ehrlich and . . . the other guy.

19 After you get your pudding, get your lightbulbs.  And I would do it soon.

The last major GE factory making ordinary incandescent light bulbs in the United States is closing this month, marking a small, sad exit for a product and company that can trace their roots to Thomas Alva EdisonÂ’s innovations in the 1870s.

The remaining 200 workers at the plant here will lose their jobs.

“Now what’re we going to do?” said Toby Savolainen, 49, who like many others worked for decades at the factory, making bulbs now deemed wasteful.

Finally finishing up this week's TMQ, and I gotta agree with Gregg's take here:


Shoot to Kill the Hit-Man Movies: Last week "The American" opened in theaters, starring George Clooney as a hit man who will murder anyone, even the innocent, for money. Other box-office names who in recent years have played hired killers willing to murder anyone, even the innocent, for money, include: Ben Affleck, Antonio Banderas, Pierce Brosnan, Nicolas Cage, David Carradine, Tom Cruise, John Cusack, Matt Damon, Colin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes, Morgan Freeman (twice), Jennifer Garner, Daryl Hannah, Josh Hartnett, Samuel Jackson, Angelina Jolie (twice), Ben Kingsley, Ashton Kutcher, Lucy Liu, Jennifer Lopez, Joe Mantegna, Demi Moore, Timothy Olyphant, Brad Pitt, Tom Selleck, Christian Slater, Sylvester Stallone, Terence Stamp (twice), Jason Statham (too many times to keep track), Uma Thurman, John Travolta (thrice), Vince Vaughn, Jon Voight, Elizabeth Whitmere and Bruce Willis.

None of the movies in question was a serious work about crime or morality. Most were violence-glorification flicks in which the slaughter of the helpless was depicted as amusing recreation. A few were "comedies"! (This list excludes the recent "The Expendables," whose anti-heroic mercenaries only wax bad people.)

The number of contemporary box-office stars who have portrayed hired killers in major-studio films probably exceeds the number of actual professional assassins in the real world. And this list is just cinema -- don't get me started about television.

You don't have to be Dr. Freud to speculate that cinema stars, steeped in a Hollywood culture obsessed with personal power, subconsciously fantasize about being able to kill whomever they please without any ramifications. (In hit-man movies, the cops never investigate, let alone respond to the sound of gunfire.)

Doesn't it strike you as strange that so many box-office names are willing to glamorize committing murder without compunction? Many Hollywood stars care nothing about the example they set for the young. Can it be coincidence that the movie ticket sales have been vacillating at the very time so many Hollywood stars revel in morally vacant roles?

Hit-Man Flick Addendum: The endless march of hired-killer movies speaks to Hollywood's moral vacuity -- and to its vanity. Middle-aged or even aging stars want to take roles in which they depict themselves as ultrastrong and ultradeadly with their fists.

Recently, Tom Cruise (4 , George Clooney (49), Liam Neeson (5 , Sylvester Stallone (64) and Harrison Ford (6 have played characters depicted as being able to effortlessly beat up, or even kill with their bare hands, several strong men at once. This is a cheap ego trip on the part of the actors, with morality trashed in the process. Can an action flick in which Judi Dench effortlessly beats up 10 guys be far behind?

Sept. 8 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama defended his economic initiatives and accused Republicans of wanting a return to “flawed policies” that contributed to the economy’s slide into a recession, including tax cuts for millionaires.

Obama, speaking in Parma, Ohio, said he recognizes that the recovery has been “painfully slow” and called on Congress to enact measures to cut taxes for businesses and middle-income Americans while letting rates rise for the wealthiest. He said his critics are playing political games instead of working on solutions for the country.

“People are frustrated and angry and anxious about the future,” Obama said in the text of a speech he’s delivering today at Cuyahoga Community College West Campus outside Cleveland. “I understand that. I also understand that in a political campaign, the easiest thing for the other side to do is ride this fear and anger all the way to Election Day.”

 

He proposes tax credits right before an election but it's his opponents who are playing politics. He claims that the Republicans are going to return us to a recession but it's the other side who is fear mongering.

Imam Rauf sez: If you don't let me build the Ground Zero Mosque, Americans will die.

The wonderful outpouring of support for our right to build this community center from across the social, religious and political spectrum seriously undermines the ability of anti-American radicals to recruit young, impressionable Muslims by falsely claiming that America persecutes Muslims for their faith. These efforts by radicals at distortion endanger our national security and the personal security of Americans worldwide. This is why Americans must not back away from completion of this project. If we do, we cede the discourse and, essentially, our future to radicals on both sides. The paradigm of a clash between the West and the Muslim world will continue, as it has in recent decades at terrible cost. It is a paradigm we must shift.

140 From Hussein the Plumber's link:

The unofficial, under the table, estimates provided by Bloomberg News suggest the true cost of the Wall Street Bailout is more like 12.8 Trillion Dollars, or just 5.5% of the original TARP bailout plan. Moreover, the Federal Reserve is doing everything in itÂ’s in legal power to avoid disclosing: where the money went, what the money is being used for, and when (if) itÂ’s going to be paid back. Bloomberg has won their case multiple times, but the Fed has drug their feet by appealing the case multiple times. The FedÂ’s last step is to appeal the case to the Supreme Court.

18 USC 2256

http://tinyurl.com/23grtp8

I think the law was passed in the late 90s. But children under the age of 18 are in a special status with regard to porn and nude scenes. There have been many convictions and the courts have upheld the law.

According to the description in the IMDB those scenes are blurred out so that nothing is shown in that movie. Hell, the movie was only rated R so it couldn't have had a lot in it.

Thanks for the info, Vic. But, as far as that film goes, I'm pretty certain I could see unblurred nipples on my DVD copy. And even those scenes where she's wearing nothing but a see-through red blouse, it doesn't really hide much. A little creepy, seeing her age at the time, but she was brilliant in that movie.  One of my faves.

This bit from Imam Rauf's op-ed is funny as hell.

At Cordoba House, we envision shared space for community activities, like a swimming pool, classrooms and a play space for children. There will be separate prayer spaces for Muslims, Christians, Jews and men and women of other faiths. The center will also include a multifaith memorial dedicated to victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Wow, so he's going to be cool with the Hindus bringing in idols of Ganesha and Rama and all?  And where will the Buddha go?

It was a Muslim woman who asked in a Wall Street Journal op-ed the following questions:

• Will the swimming pool at Park51 be segregated between men and women at any time of the day or night?

• May women lead congregational prayers any day of the week?

• Will Jews and Christians, fellow People of the Book, be able to use the prayer sanctuary for their services just as Muslims share prayer space with Christians and Jews in the Pentagon? (Spare me the technocratic argument that the Pentagon is a governmental, not private, building. Park51 may be private in the legal sense but is a public symbol par excellence.)

• What will be taught about homosexuals? About agnostics? About atheists? About apostasy?

• Where does one sign up for advance tickets to Salman Rushdie's lecture at Park51?

It's actually also Frau's baptismal name, and there is a lot of religious significance to it.  It was the word used in the Greek Septaguint for the Hebrew chokmah, or   חכמות

171 Miller ran for the state Legislature in 2004 against Democrat David Guttenberg and lost by 3.5 percentage points.

Guttenberg said Miller seemed to have little interest in talking about how to fix Alaska's social and development problems. "It became obvious how absolutely arrogant this guy was," Guttenberg said. "All he cares about is his constitutional gobbledygook.... He's on track to become emperor of the universe."

Don't know if anyone's answered you since I'm just beginning to wade through this thread, but your wish is my command.  Check out the conservatives4congress linky to the left and check out their database on Murphy. 

Oops, just saw that you knew about the main race, but if there's anything on the primary, it's on that sidebar link.  Maybe the main read has some stuff you didn't know about Murphy, though.

 

Thanks RushBabe!  I'll have to check this out after work.  Looks like you're the first to respond.  I just wanted to actually make my registering as a Republican worth my while.

201 I wonder if those increased chupacraba attacks are due to Muslims trying to enter the US.

I heard it's because Murkowski's lobbying the Chupacabra Party to let her run on their ticket, on the assumption that a mouth like hers was made for exsanguination (and she already got turned down by the Twilight Fanclub and Goth Emo Party).  It's causing a lot of hubbub in the goatsucker community.

188 Speaking of hollywood, I have a question.  Major League Baseball had to do away with the bat boys and ball girls being under the age of 16 because of someone complaining about Child Labor laws.  How come hollywood is exempt from this law?



Hollywood is exempt from EVERYTHING. Gun laws, for example. Think about every time you've seen Marky Mark in a film wielding a firearm. That's convicted felon, Marky Mark. Convicted of Aggravated Assault (pled down from attempted murder, IIRC). Felons are uniformly forbidden to even TOUCH a firearm, yet he gets a pass.

H'wood gets lots of safety and labor law exemptions as well.

Are you sure those are all real?  If I were a producer, every weapon I gave to Marky Mark would be a beautiful, perfectly realized fake, made out of balsa wood and spray foam.  And even then I might run and hide.

194 Hollywood firearms are usually plugged and rigged so that they can not even be loaded. This for the gun control laws they are not considered firearms.

They are not exempted from FFA laws.

195 Wasn't it Justice Potter Stewart who in the Miller vs. California case wrote that he could not define obscenity but he knew it when he saw it? Do you know what is an obscene book? It's a book that you have to read with one hand.
