The dude isn't so much for the content of the article, which is faboo, but for who it is who wrote this.
I cannot believe the push back on how the Left treated Bush and on the historical narrative attempting to be set is beginning now. There's a cynical part of me that believes this is to clear the way for Obama being praised when he does the same thing. But still. It's good to see there being some attempts to bring sanity to this.
I'll admit, I never thought we would make it through Bush's terms without another major attack on American soil. I am grateful and humbled at the efforts that must have been made to make that so.
I'm glad to see this happening. I hope it doesn't go too far the other way but I'd rather have that than the vituperation.

Be there or be square! Even though I'm still pessimistic (we can't be THIS lucky to avoid the majority of the Obama nightmare this easily, can we? Really?)
GO BROWN!

Also, I find the formula interesting and wish to subscribe to its newsletter. And if you aren't watching Ted, you really really should be.

It would be even better if it contained a comparative discussion of the merits and skills of Darth Vader v. Darth Cheney but one can't have everything.
Obviously, I'm on the side that Cheney wins, what with the cougars and all.

• The 'Longshoreman' Award for Funniest Use of Cursewords goes to: DoublePlusUndead.
First of all, on behalf of the proprietor of this fine site (since management seems to have forgotten the bail money and nobody else is around), I wish to thank Doug for selecting us for such a lofty award, DPUD for letting all of us express ourselves without hampering our individual styles, and also all of the readers and co-bloggers here, like in an old show, "for being a friend." This is a blast, and I love being around all of you folks.
And in closing, I would like to make the following statement:

My list, in no order except number one, is:
5. Old Boy - Violent, creepy as hell and the ending, oh the ending. I knew it was coming from a mile away and it still ripped me to pieces.
4. Banlieue 13(District B 13) - Yes, yes, it's on here primarily for the parkour and Cyril Raffaelli's hotness. But there's also a lot going on underneath the surface. I am fascinated by Besson (yes he's the writer not the director but this is utterly a Besson film) setting this so near future. Given the current state of things in France, it is making a statement about what the French are willing to do with the less desireables. Also parkour and hotness.
3. Infernal Affairs - The whole trilogy, actually, but the first one is simply stunning. God, I want to beat Scorsese with a bat for turning this into The Departed. Ahem. Andy Lau and Tony Leung are both spot on perfect in their roles. This movie spares no punches in showing the destruction that these decisions are making on both of their lives. Another film where it has to end that way no matter how much I hate it.
2. Kill Bill Vol. 1 - I do love Volume 2 as well but, oh, Volume 1. The Fight at the House of Blue Leaves is utterly spectacular but it's the tiny moments that really make this memorable. The sequence where O-Ren is walking into the House of Blue Leaves and she and her entourage turn the corner and O-Ren just looks up through her lashes is amazing. That and Gogo Yubari. Not to mention that I consider all of Kill Bill to be one of the strongest pro-life movies out there. Don't laugh, I mean it. The Bride's entire motivation is for her child. This is expressly stated in Vol. 2 when The Bride tells Bill that before she was pregnant she was his woman. But once she found out that she was going to be a mother, her entire life was for the child. Yes, yes, the violence is way over the top. But The Bride is avenging herself on those who stole her baby. Don't bother telling me that her actions aren't motivated. I can't think of a single better motivation and I am the least maternal person in the world.
Plus Lucy Liu is hot like the center of the sun.
1. The Incredibles - I placed a self-imposed only one Pixar movie on myself otherwise this list would be all Pixar all the time. I am Pixar's bitch. Hell, the utter hagiography that is The Pixar Story makes me bawl because if there was no Pixar there would be no Toy Story. No Nemo. No Monsters, Inc. No Wall-E. No SQUIRREL! And there would be no Incredibles.
Oh, how do I love this movie. Let me inject the politics into it. This is a conservative film. This is a movie about the power of family and the recognition that if everybody is special than no one is and that suppressing greatness for the greater good ends up being a loss for the entire world. Brad Bird mentions on the commentary that there was a deleted scene were Elastigirl confronts a woman who is being very condescending to her about not working and Elastigirl points out that she chose to stay at home because it was the hardest and most important job in the world. He said this was based on something that actually happened to his wife. It is difficult for me to watch this and not be struck by just how powerful a slap at most lefty conventions is it.
Second, and more importantly, this is the Best Bond Film ever. No, seriously, it is. There's even a Bond Babe. This film isn't a loving send up of Bond, it's an utter celebration of All Things Bond. There's a freaking lair inside of a volcano, people. Of course I'm going to love this. God, I want a lair. Just a little one. Also minions. And possibly sharks with freaking laser beams. But I digress.
Third, the BFF did not see this in the movies. She first saw it while watching with me in her living room. She actually fell out of her chair laughing when Edna Mode started whapping Elastigirl. I have no idea why that could be.
As far as what's not on here, fuck, no, I was not going to include The Dark Knight. Far too long and the Batman voice makes me laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh. Also, I don't think that I was supposed to cheer when Rachel blew up. Gary Oldman makes that mustache sexass though.
So have at it. What are your best movies? And, yes, I suck for not including Gran Torino. Or Hot Fuzz. Or Zombieland.

Sainsbury’s in New Cross, also in south London, was selling four 440ml cans of own-brand lager and bitter for 91p and 94p respectively. A two-litre bottle of basic cider cost £1.21, or 6.1p per 100ml. A litre bottle of Highland Spring mineral water, meanwhile, was on sale for 8.5p per 100ml.
The Tesco Extra in St Rollox, Glasgow, was offering four 440ml cans of its value lager for 91p. The supermarket charges 85p for a litre of Highland Spring water.
Asda in Bishopbriggs, Glasgow, was also selling four 440ml cans of its own-brand Smart Price lager and bitter for just over 5p per 100ml. Strathmore mineral water cost 8.5p per 100ml.
The fact that it is possible to buy beer cheaper than water is seen by campaigners as worrying. Don Shenker, chief executive of Alcohol Concern, said government attempts to curb binge drinking were being undermined by supermarket discounting.
“Unless they tackle the problem of cheap alcohol, they are fighting a losing battle,†he said. “The evidence shows young people and harmful drinkers are drawn to very cheap alcohol.
“Supermarkets sell alcohol at a loss because they know it gets people into the stores. A lot of these sales are irresponsible.â€
A spokeswoman for the British Medical Association added: “It is a real worry that you can buy alcohol cheaper than mineral water. We have a huge problem with alcohol abuse in the UK, so we want a clampdown on these cut-throat price deals.â€
Yeah, leave it to the nanny staters to go after capitalism.

Seriously, and if they were really smart they would have them translated into Arabic and Pashtu, let the Taliban and al-Qaeda explain why their ideas are better.
