Quentin Tarantino and his films
are part of the problem

Deseret News [Utah], by Jim Bennett Original Article

Posted By: Stallion_Cornell- 1/11/2013 2:40:57 PM Post Reply

I’ve had a number of odd jobs in my time, but one of the oddest was when I worked as a profanity counter. As I recounted in an earlier column, I used to get paid to sit through movies and chronicle all the naughty bits. (Snip) After recording 273 utterances of the most notorious R-rated profanity in the movie "Reservoir Dogs," I decided that I would never again voluntarily subject myself to another flick written or directed by Quentin Tarantino.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security urged computer users to disable Oracle Corp´s Java software, amplifying security experts´ prior warnings to hundreds of millions of consumers and businesses that use it to surf the Web. Hackers have figured out how to exploit Java to install malicious software enabling them to commit crimes ranging from identity theft to making an infected computer part of an ad-hoc network of computers that can be used to attack websites. "We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem," the Department of Homeland Security´s Computer Emergency Readiness Team said

Ever since Al Gore sold Current TV to Al Jazeera, the network founded and funded by the oil-rich emirate of Qatar, the former vice president has drawn continuous fire in conservative media. Fox News, the New York Post and The Wall Street Journal, for example, have all castigated Gore, a man of the Left and leading avatar of "global warming," for such hypocrisies as timing the deal to avoid Lefty tax hikes and bagging $100 million in greenhouse-gas money. These same news outlets share something else in common: They all belong to Rupert Murdoch´s News Corp.

Hey, folks, remember the good old days when candidate Barack Obama at least pretended to be bipartisan and conciliatory? Now it´s as if he´s on a mission to prove he was faking it. Obama is behaving like a bitter ex-spouse who knows all our hot buttons and delights in pushing them. He is governing by crisis, fear, alienation, cronyism and anti-constitutional fiat. He is openly flaunting his militant radicalism, as if he´s trying to provoke us -- and his second term hasn´t even begun. He is horrifying all Americans who have the

President Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai hope to finalize an agreement on how many U.S. troops will remain in Afghanistan soon, the White House said in a statement Friday released just moments before the two will hold a joint press conference in the East Room of the White House. Obama and Karzai met privately in the Oval Office earlier in the day, where the two "discussed the possibility of a post-2014 U.S. presence that is sustainable, that supports a capable and effective Afghan National Security Force, and that continues to pressure the remnants of al Qaeda and its affiliates,"

Al Gore Now Richer Than Romney

Breitbart´s Big Government, by William Bigelow Original Article

Al Gore is now richer than Romney, due to his sale of his Current TV network to Al-Jazeera. Gore has spent his time over the last two decades railing against oil companies while profiting from them, and who is part of a party that vilified Mitt Romney for his wealth. Gore grabbed $100 million from the sale, which added to his own vast personal wealth. This puts his fortune at over $300 million, more than Romney. (Don’t even mention the people who lost their jobs as a result of the sale; unemployment is not a primary Democratic concern.) Ryan Mac, a Forbes analyst, said:

President Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Friday they have agreed to speed up slightly the schedule for moving Afghanistan´s security forces into the lead across the country, with U.S. troops shifting fully to a support role.

Jack Lew´s nomination to Treasury secretary will likely elevate one of the Obama administration´s most adamant supporters of Medicaid. Lew has been a staunch advocate for Medicaid in his role as President Obama´s chief of staff, and the program´s outside supporters are excited that Lew will now play a bigger role. "I´m thrilled. We´re gaining even a stronger voice in the Treasury Department, and Jack is undoubtedly going to play a pivotal role in many of the future budget negotiations," Families USA Executive Director Ron Pollack said.

Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) said former Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) was "partly right" when he made controversial comments that women cannot become pregnant from a rape. Akin, then the Republican Senate nominee in Missouri, said a woman cannot become pregnant from a "legitimate rape" because the female body can "shut that whole thing down." Gingrey, who is an OB-GYN, said in a town-hall meeting that Akin was partially correct, according to a report in the Marietta (Ga.) Daily Journal. Gingrey said a rush of adrenaline can prevent the female body from ovulating —

Duchess Kate Middleton’s first official portrait as a royal is here — like it or not. While the painting prompted mixed reactions after Friday’s unveiling in London, Middleton praised it as “absolutely brilliant,” according to The Prince of Wales website. Scottish-born artist Paul Emsley said he followed the royal mom-to-be’s instructions “to be portrayed naturally — her natural self — as opposed to her official self.” He doctored her eye color to match her blouse and the painting’s background. “She struck me as an enormously open and generous and a very warm person,” Emsley said.

On his Thursday program, MSNBC’s “The Last Word” host Lawrence O’Donnell said the Bible shouldn’t have any role in the upcoming Inauguration Day ceremonies. The news that Passion City Church of Atlanta Pastor Louie Giglio lost the honor of giving the benediction at the inaugural ceremonies because he delivered anti-gay sermons, O’Donnell said, is a reminder of how much undue influence the Bible has in modern discourse. “It turns out there is no better way for a pastor to get kicked out of the inauguration ceremony than quoting the Bible,” O’Donnell said. “That is what Louie Giglio, of

The terror threat of

Code Red: Washington put on full terror alert. The terror of horrific testosterone threatens to paralyze the nation’s capital. We haven’t seen fear like this since the capital expected the Confederate army to march down Pennsylvania Avenue after P.G.T. Beauregard and his men thrashed the Yankees good and proper at First Manassas. What’s got some Democrats cowering in full fury, particularly the ladies and their liege men, is that President Obama, who imagined that his re-election victory entitled him to pick the second-term Cabinet he wants, has so far picked only men. It could have been worse.

Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Charles Plosser said the central bank’s record stimulus risks a surge in inflation and may impair efforts by households to repair their finances. “Attempts to increase economic ‘stimulus’ may not help speed up the process and may actually prolong it,” Plosser said in the text of a speech today in Somerset, New Jersey. Policy makers are discussing how long they will keep buying mortgage bonds and Treasuries as part of efforts to boost growth and bring down a 7.8 percent unemployment rate. The Fed last month linked its interest-rate outlook to economic thresholds,

Sens. Angus King (I-Maine) and John Hoeven (R-N.D.) represented an ultra-exclusive group of lawmakers when they recently appeared on the same C-SPAN show — together they make up the entire (and entirely unofficial) Senate mustache caucus. The political pair — who each sport rather impressive lip sweaters — were interviewed in separate segments on “Washington Journal” last week. King told anchor Steve Scully, “You know that this lineup that you’ve had this morning is 100 percent of the Senate’s mustache caucus. John Hoeven and I are the two guys.”
