Keira Knightley: ‘only Brits like sadomasochistic sex scenes in A Dangerous Method’

Keira Knightley has suggested that only the British have taken such a keen interest in the sadomasochistic scenes in her new film A Dangerous Method.

I’ve only added this story to today’s post to give me a excuse to run this cartoon.

Project Obama: A Puppetmaster or a Puppet?

Call it whimsey, but I love articles that hold Obama (Barry Soeteo) in the same low level of contempt as I hold him in and that he so richly deserves.

What Mitt Really Meant

This may become a long-running interpretive series.

…We’ll be happy to translate for him in these columns, but it would be less politically painful if Mr. Romney sat down for a week-long tutorial with, say, Paul Ryan, Mitch Daniels, Jeb Bush and others who can help him avoid such obvious liberal traps.

Valid and obvious point is that Mitt Romney doesn’t really know how to talk like a politician. He is a businessman and it shows, or “sounds like”. His recent embarrassing quotes; “I like to fire people” & “I’m not concerned about the very poor”, were (of course) taken out of context. In the full, his remarks did make sense, did not mean what the short sound bite implied and sound just how the many high level businessman I’ve heard talk. They feel the need to fill the room with their thoughts and that they have earned the right to do so. They are controlling the meeting, setting the direction, plotting the course….yada, yada.

Keep yammering away, Mitt, and sooner or later you will do it again.

I seriously believe that we will never have successful elections in this country again (by successful, I mean by electing a Truman, or Eisenhower) until we have melted down every video camera and dropped every TV reporter into the Atlantic, suitably weighted down. The political debate is being distorted by the constant passing of every word and gesture through the left’s own PC filters.

The press seems to be supporting Mitt now, but once the real election starts they will use all these gaffes Mr. Romney is piling up and pull him down.

GOP Senators: Save Defense, Scale Back Federal Workforce

There is a difference between the two parties. Republicans make mistakes because they can be stupid. Democrats don’t make mistakes, they act under the influence of their deeply flawed ideology.
