In consideration of all he has accomplished

BOYCOTT THE HACK ZACH ... in perpetuity I think it's simply a "travesty" that a supremely spoiled sophomoric pack of so-called ACTORS can RULE the film industry. LIKE anybody in THAT CAST has EVER DONE anything (frankly) remarkable in THEIR ENTIRE LIVES. WHO HASN'T DONE THINGS THEY REGRET ?? ... THAT they SHOULD JUDGE MEL GIBSON? Basically "character" actors, which NEVER had the IMPACT in this industry -- or THE WORLDWIDE audiences Mel has. (iconklee, response to post, “‘The Hangover 2’s’ Mel Gibson controversy, Matt Zoller Seitz, Salon, 22 October 2010) . . . . .

Significant artists throughout history have had reputations Not all guys who do questionable things are great artists or creators, but many of the most respected and lauded art...

Liberals co-opting greenies (2 July 2009)

Generation-will-never-own-a-home (30 January 2009)

Better not wait for your next life, Jeffrey J., for the time to participate in the dopamine rush of equal rep. while all else rots (in anguish) or wilts (in boredom?), is now. The generation Vanessa talked about earlier – Generationwillneverownahome -- would have known instantly, if Hillary had won the presidency, that she'd have continued sending young people to their deaths in Afghanistan, and talked a lot more about how young people need "to work harder" (read: suffer more). And some of them will soon get over their Obama worship -- which promised the near irresistible vision of pacified parents (end of discord), generations uniting -- and understand too that he'll primarily be about making sure baby-boomers are taken care of while they spend out their remaining years thinking themselves all Green, tolerant (did you know there were no black people in the major leagues in 1940?, and now we have [voted in] a black president!), relevant, and wonderful -- on their wa...
