Could they make a better argument for home schooling?

A ten-year-old Ohio boy was suspended from school after a teacher caught him brandishing a “level 2 lookalike firearm.” What lookalike firearm was this, you ask? Well, Nathan Entingh got in trouble after he pretended to use his finger as a gun. Yep, his finger.

I was tempted to go see how many levels of lookalike firearm there are in Ohio, but I fear that'd be too much of a stupid overload to start the day with.

Could they make a better argument for ending the Academy Awards?

12 Years A Slave is one of those “important subject” films that people will call a “difficult watch” while praising it, implying that you should sit through it to better yourself even if you don’t enjoy the experience. Not surprisingly, a few members of the Academy privately admitted to the LA Times that they wanted to reward the eventual Best Picture winner for its importance (and congratulate themselves for doing so), while foregoing the possible trauma of actually watching it.

Want to win an Oscar? Just make a Very Important Film about an Approved Topic and watch the accolades roll in.

4 Want to win an Oscar? Just make a Very Important Film about an Approved Topic and watch the accolades roll in. Marxist critique is a thing. It actually flat-out states that a work's value is based on its message and not on its quality.

Morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes.

 

Today in 1889 was the birthday of Pearl Fay White, the silent actress / stuntwoman known as “The Queen of the Serials” who is the ancestor of every ass-kicking female heroine today.  Born in Missouri, she was a stage actress for several years before throat problems caused her to move on to films.  In 1914, she was given the lead in The Perils of Pauline, an adventure serial in which Pauline – heir to a fortune – escapes death in each episode as she frees herself from the clutches of her guardianÂ’s evil secretary.  The serial* made her a worldwide star and inspired a host of imitators.  Like her successor Helen Holmes, White did many of her own stunts, suffering a host of injuries that would lead to a crippling alcohol habit.  Retiring to France a very wealthy woman, she died in 1938 and is buried in Paris.

 

HereÂ’s a clip from Episode One of Perils.  For those of you who have read The DirectorÂ’s Cut, PearlÂ’s guardian, Mr. Marvin, was played by Edward José:

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBJdikQnpzw

 

In 1947, Betty Hutton starred in The Perils of Pauline, a fictionalized version of WhiteÂ’s career that bore absolutely no resemblance to the real White.  ItÂ’s still entertaining, though, and I recommend it.

 

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

 

*originally in 20 episodes; only a 9-episode reduction survives today.

Second best news is Dewhurst getting less than 30% of the vote and being forced into a runoff which he will hopefully lose. Not surprised that Cornyn won.

52 A ten-year-old Ohio boy was suspended from school after a teacher caught him brandishing a “level 2 lookalike firearm.” My daughter, also in Ohio, could not get the school district to do anything about an older kid shoving her son around every day on the school bus. So she became one of those silly scary quote home schoolers. Also enrolled the son in karate class, bought a heavy bag, and a set of boxing gloves. Protip: Don't think that the 'threat' to pull your kid out of public school means anything. They'd like nothing better then to have fewer kids in every classroom.

88 64 12 years a slave reminds me of the last black apologist movie that the liberals all hyped as smoking hot gospel. It didn't take long before it was revealed the whole thing was made up crap. That was the color purple. To this day they still sing the praises of that movie because they "wanted it to be true".

From Nag Hammady Library: But truth brought names into existence in the world for our sakes, because it is not possible to learn it (truth) without these names. Truth is one single thing; it is many things and for our sakes to teach about this one thing in love through many things. The rulers (archons) wanted to deceive man, since they saw that he had a kinship with those that are truly good. They took the name of those that are good and gave it to those that are not good, so that through the names they might deceive him and bind them to those that are not good. And afterward, what a favor they do for them! They make them be removed from those that are not good and place them among those that are good. These things they knew, for they wanted to take the free man and make him a slave to them forever. He who has knowledge of the truth is a free man, but the free man does not sin [miss the mark], for "He who sins is the slave of sin." He who is a slave against his will, will be able to become free. He who has become free by favor of his master, and has sold himself into slavery, will no longer be able to be free. -- Gospel of Philip Mel Gibson's epic contribution, The Passion, very timely. of Temptations and Tormenters, unshakable imagery We saw evil assuming the form of a child, seen as such by the traitor. In still image on canvas, centuries ago, painted by Europe's greatest masters portraying life gone horribly wrong by choice into damnation and hell. Judas during the Passion. Ash Wednesday

A few of us Americans spent months looking forward to it, then took three days leave without ever leaving town just so that we could participate fully. Huge parades, spiesbraten by the ton, Bitburger and Kirn pils by the barrel, literally. Costumes, traditional dancers, etc. filling the streets for a couple nights. Great time.

Obviously there's a reason (other than my laziness) that I'm not a captain of industry like the Koch brothers.  Because if a short-eyed lackwit like Reid called me out, I'd arrange for a personal appointment to discuss matters with him.   And then, in his office, introduce his colon to the business end of a Louisville Slugger.

I liked the movie.  There was some great shots of the triple expansion steam engine and a lot of views of the ship, many done with CGI, generated using the then innovative method of large numbers of PCs running Linux in a Beowulf array.  And Kate Winslet's boobs.  And Leonardo DiCaprio dies.  And don't tell me you didn't get a kick out of that guy bouncing off the propeller.

Brian Kilmeade of Fox News noted that the Syrian rebels whom Barack Obama and McCain want to aid militarily were shouting “Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar!” as rockets hit Syrian government offices.

That incensed McCain, who shot back: “Would you have a problem with an American or Christians saying ‘thank God? Thank God?’ That’s what they’re saying. Come on! Of course they’re Muslims, but they’re moderates and I guarantee you they are moderates.”

"12 Years A Slave"    is one of those “important subject” films that people will call a “difficult watch” while praising it, implying that you should sit through it to better yourself even if you donÂ’t enjoy the experience. Not surprisingly, a few members of the Academy privately admitted to the LA Times that they wanted to reward the eventual Best Picture winner for its importance (and congratulate themselves for doing so), while foregoing the possible trauma of actually watching it.

 

 

See, this is why I don't know why "Dallas Buyers Club" didn't win Best Picture,   since    these days      "Teh Ghey"   trumps   "Black"  almost every time.  I've got to figure that it's because "12 Years a Slave" overtly mentions slavery in the title, whereas "DBC" doesn't sound like it has anything to do with   the LGBTBBQ Mafia, so    the trained seals of the Hollywood elite decided to clap their flippers for    the obvious choice.   

 

 

And will someone PLEASE explain to me why "12 Years a Slave" is considered an "important subject" movie?   Why?  Because it expresses the opinion that slavery is bad?   Yes, thank you, we know.   How about you try showing it   for free on the street     in Islamic countries that still practice slavery;   then maybe I'll be more   open to calling it "important."

"Want to win an Oscar? Just make a Very Important Film about an Approved Topic and watch the accolades roll in."

 

Wargaming has also been infected with this same stupidity.  The Wargamer.com Games of the Year for 2014 had "Freedom - the Underground Railroad" game win in the Board Game category because, Get This, "it is one of the most important games to come out in the last few years and Academy Games deserves praise for having the intestinal fortitude to bring this out!" and it was apparently "A game that deals with what is still a difficult subject for many."

What bollocks......

319 I was walking by the school yard, and took a bite out of my pop tart when all of a sudden, this school marm screamed, "LEVEL .25 LOOKALIKE FIREARM!!" and when I turned to look, she was pointing at me, her mouth gaping open like that final scene of invasion of the body snatchers with donald sutherland. 
      I absentmindedly took another bite of my pop tart, staring at her and wondering what her deal was, and suddenly her eyes kinda glossed over she lowered her finger, and turned and walked away as if nothing had happened....
