Tonight is occupied with the much-awaited two-hour cable debut of the much-awaited fifth season of AMC’s “Mad Men,” the series about a Manhattan advertising agency in the early 1960s.  As I’ve noted on this site before, while I’ve followed the show (on DVD mostly from my public library–I don’t have cable), I recognize it for what it is:  a fictional soap opera (with more high brow trappings and fanfare) in which American men are defamed as unethical, serial cheaters who are also racist and anti-Semitic.

Jon Hamm as “Mad Men’s” Don Draper/Dick Whitman

Oh, and every single bad guy on the show is a war veteran–Jon Hamm’s “Don Draper” is a Korean War veteran (who dishonestly assumed the persona of a dead fellow soldier), “Roger Sterling” (John Slattery) is a World War II vet, and “Bert Cooper” (Robert Morse) served in World War I, where he met Sterling’s late father. That all of these guys who served are creeps, should trouble Americans. But no one cares. Several million sheep will watch tonight and not even notice, just as they haven’t for the previous four seasons.

Sure, people cheated in the early ’60s, but not as rampantly as this show portrays.  In fact, most men were faithful, something this show doesn’t really want to portray accurately.  I’ve previously noted that the show is basically “Desperate Housewives” with men playing the wives, and an early ’60s setting, clothing, and props.  Read the rest of this entry »

In seven years as a movie critic, I’ve learned a few undeniable truths of the box office.  One of them is:  don’t believe the hype.  You’ll always get burned.  Another:  there is little originality.  Everything is either derivative or flat-out ripped off from something else.  And so it goes with “The Hunger Games,” the much overhyped, overrated, and totally ripped-off movie that debuts in theaters, today.  Sadly, this disgustingly violent and mostly soulless and unentertaining movie is marketed to kids, as the natural evolution from popular “Young Adult” lit.  And it logs in at a slow-paced, sluggish two-and-a-half hours of undue self-importance.

In 2007, I reviewed “The Condemned,” a WWE-produced movie about 10 killers dropped on an island for a live reality-show game.  The object was to be the one remaining survivor and would be rewarded with freedom and fame.  Only one could live and the rest would have to die, mostly from being targeted by the others for death.  I panned this sick “killing porn” movie, as did most critics.  But, now, the same critics are gushing over a rehash of virtually the exact same plot in the long, slow, and extremely boring, “The Hunger Games.”  The only difference is that, in “The Condemned,” the master of the game is a billionaire TV producer.  In “The Hunger Games,” the master of the game is the President of a new fictional country, residing with his fellow elitist rich people in the “Capitol.”  Both are typical lefty Hollywood constructs of capitalist creeps, who have no regard for human life, creating televised reality shows involving torture and death of “the little people” a/k/a “the 99 percent.” Read the rest of this entry »

Just remember that this idiotette, Chelsea Chambers, has the right to vote and is one of the many that the Gloria Steinems and Betty Friedans of the world insist need “equal rights.”  Oh, and by the way, she’s so stupid, that even though her husband, Travis Chambers, videotaped this and posted it on YouTube to show how dumb she is, she is still married to him and proudly appeared on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” because, hey, it’s fame, and everyone’s gotta get their fifteen minutes, even if it’s to be famous for being uber-stupid.

Today, in France, a teacher demanded her students observe a moment of silence for the “real victim” of the French massacres: Islamic terrorist mass-murderer, Mohammed Merah.  Fortunately, not all Frogs are complete sissies, and some students got up and left, reporting her to school administrators.  The “teacher’s” name is Lorraine Collin, but she’s more aptly called what she is: Jew-hating bitch. The Holocaust-era French are officially resurrected. But they never really went away.

An English teacher sparked outrage across France today after calling for her pupils to observe a minute’s silence for Toulouse serial killer Mohammed Merah.

In disturbing scenes at Gustave Flaubert High School in Rouen, Normandy, Lorraine Collin, 56, described the 23-year-old who murdered seven including three children as himself being the ‘victim of an unhappy childhood’. Read the rest of this entry »

All hail the Egypt “democracy” movement.  Oh, wait, there is no democracy there.  Just Muslim Brotherhood control of the country.  No matter, not to Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Cankles, who’ve decided that doesn’t matter, even though it’s a requirement to get foreign aid.  If we’re gonna give foreign aid to these Islamo-cretinous fascists no matter what they do, then we have no sway with them and there’s no point in giving them our money, is there?  Hussein and Cankles don’t care.  They’re givin’ it–$1.3 billion in U.S. aid–away anyway.  So much for our votes for Members of Congress, who imposed this law.   The Hussein  Cankles foreign policy (and domestic, too) doesn’t listen to the democratic exercises here,  so I guess it’s only fitting they waive the same for Egypt.

The Obama administration on Friday formally released $1.3 billion in military aid for Egypt despite Cairo’s failure to meet pro-democracy goals, saying U.S. national security required continued military assistance. Read the rest of this entry »

Definition of “arrogance”: whenever Muslims are the perpetrators (which is usually), they are always the “victims.”

Muslims around the world are more alike than ignorant Americans would like to believe.  Americans want to think that only Muslims in France–like Mohammed Merah–would massacre Jews, despite evidence that there are plenty of Nidal Malik Hassans and Faisal Shahzads in our midst on U.S. soil.  But, in fact, Muslims around the world are exactly the same, regardless of the fiction of borders and different cultures.  And they whine equally wherever they are, whenever they are the perpetrators of horrific crimes against humanity.  While in America, there is HAMASCAIR, everywhere else in the world there are Muslim grievance theater stars just like ’em.  And, instead of mourning the victims of their fellow co-religionists, they are shrieking about some fictional backlash that sadly never happens.  And so it goes today in France, where Muslims are NOT mourning the murdered Jews–three of whom were kids 8 and under.  Instead, Muslims are asking us to drink their fine whine about “exploitation” of Muslims.  It’s nauseating.  And laughably predictable.

Check out today’s main headline in Le Monde, the major French newspaper (at which my cousin is a reporter):

Les musulmans redoutent que l’identité du tueur ne soit exploitée contre eux

Depuis mercredi, la plupart des représentants des institutions musulmanes tentent de décourager toute tentation “d’amalgame”.

While I really wanna see Joe Biden and his boss retired in November, I’ll be sorta sad to see him go only for the comedy gold that he is. The hairplugged gift that keeps on giving, especially with this latest lubrication speech. The campaign posters should read: “Re-Elect Obama/Lube Job 2012!”

We already know from previous experience in Gitmo that when the U.S. catches and releases Islamic terrorists, they have a 97% recidivism rate of going back to jihad and murdering more innocent Westerners.  And so it goes with Mohammed Merah, who was never even detained by us or sent to Gitmo during his sojourns of bomb-planting in Afghanistan, but sent on his merry way to murder four innocent Jews–three of them young children–at Toulouse, France’s Ozar HaTorah school and other Frenchman. (Thanks, Gerald.) Not only did we NOT detain him, we sent him back to France to perform his jihadist mission. Incredible. But that’s the U.S. “hearts and minds” BS at work. As the execrable Dr. Phil would ask, “An’ Howz That Workin’ For You?”

Is This Mohammed Merah, the Toulouse Terrorist By Way of Afghanistan & U.S. “Hearts & Minds” Terrorist Catch & Release Bullcrap? . . .

The U.S. army sent a Frenchman currently besieged by police in Toulouse after the killings of seven people, back to France after he was arrested in Afghanistan, a prosecutor said Wednesday.

Afghan police detained the man at a road checkpoint and handed him over to the U.S. army “who put him on the first plane headed to France,” prosecutor Francois Molins told reporters. Read the rest of this entry »

I called it on Mohammed Merah, the Toulouse terrorist.  Sadly, some will never wake up, face facts, and call a spade a spade . . . or in this case, a Muslim a Muslim.

On Monday, I told you that the terrorist gunman who shot up the Toulouse Jewish school, Ozar HaTorah, was likely a Muslim.  I told you to disregard French and other mainstream media reports that he is a “right-wing gunman.”  Yesterday, on XM “Brett Winterble Show,” I predicted the man was a Sunni Muslim of North African origin and not at all a “right-wing” gunman follower of Jean-Marie Le Pen.  And, yet again, I was right. I nailed it. Told ya so. Not only is the man an Al-Qaeda terrorist of Algerian origins, but he was allowed to escape from a Paki prison in a Taliban prison break, after he was imprisoned there for planting bombs. Yup, sounds like a “Le Pen right-wing gunman,” huh?

The man, named as Mohammed Merah, 23, a Frenchman of Algerian origin, has said he belongs to al-Qaeda and acted to “avenge Palestinian children”.

Police are negotiating with the man, who is still said to be armed but says he may give himself up this afternoon.

French Interior Minister Claude Gueant said the man had been tracked by French intelligence for “several years”.

Really? This is how they “track” a guy? Let him go on jihadist murder sprees throughout the country? That’s some real expert “tracking.” Inspector Clouseau Lives! Sounds just like the CIA with the 9/11 hijackers.

And note how his mother responds, by refusing to help and by siding with her Al-Qaeda son’s jihad. Think that won’t happen here? It already has. This is how Muslims act as “Western citizens.” They don’t. They side with the jihad all of the time, every time.

The suspect’s mother, who is Algerian, had been brought to the scene, but Mr Gueant said she had refused to become involved as “she had little influence on him”. Read the rest of this entry »

If we had a nation of two-parent households with parents involved in their kids’ lives and having the basic decency to discipline them, then maybe we could overcome the crap coming out of Hollywood and influencing them.  But we don’t.  Instead, we have a nation of Shaniquas and Lamars and Bristols and Levis.  And in the few cases where parents are still married, you have detached, selfish, over-ambitious, irresponsible, can’t-be-bothered parents seeking to be friends with their kids–and a nation of Sarahs and Todds who breed Bristols (so honored with a Lifetime reality show for having sex and getting pregnant–what a talent!) and Levis and Tripps.  And, so, the default parent to America’s kids is not the real parents, who are mere sperm and womb/egg donors but.  Instead, the parent is Hollywood and its crap.

You’ve seen my review of “Project X.” Now here’s the aftermath. Thanks, Hollywood. You gonna pay the repair bills? Watch the video . . . Read the rest of this entry »
