I noticed that Community Magnet Charter School in California disabled the comments on their video. However, they still have the video up on their home page: http://welovecmcs.com/

Big Hollywood : Earthquake Relief: 'Hollywood Unites For Haiti'

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 03:17:01 +0000

I'd like to suggest that people could also make donations through Christian Relief Fund. They were already doing humanitarian work in Haiti before this disaster, and a "worker already located in Haiti is supervising efforts to rush emergency supplies - initially, food and water, the most urgently needed items, to affected children and families in Port au Prince, Haiti. Another team is enroute and should arrive on Thursday in Cap Haitian, Haiti. The group plans to take a truck loaded with rice, beans, and water into the capital city as soon as possible. " I like CRF because they truly seem to be in the business of helping people, not profiting off people's misfortunes. They have an outstanding record with Charity Navigator, and the head of the organization only draws a modest salary. http://www.christianrelieffund.org/web/index.php?...

Good point. Maybe the picture of the vacuum is to symbolize how bad his performance sucks?

I like the picture of the woman with the vacuum cleaner. It's probably the only honest work that's been done in the Oval Office since Obama took office.

Ed Asner supports the cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal and has worked to obtain his freedom. I just can't watch anything made by a man that condones the murder of policemen. I wonder how the widow and family of Officer Daniel Faulkner feel about Asner's activities, both on and off screen?

Big Hollywood : 'Twilight': A Spiritually Confused Reminder For Christian Parents

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 23:20:47 +0000

Personally, I think some grownups have a hard time distinguishing between fantasy and reality. There are groups of adults that meet together that try to use what they learned from "Harry Potter" to make "real magic" in their lives. I think it's rather silly, but they try to change their lot in life because they believe in the power of "Harry Potter", instead of believing in the powers of self-detemination and hard work. Also, look at all those people in Arizona that died in that sweat lodge. They paid up to ten grand each, but it seems that they listened more to the fantastic promises of a self-help guru than their own reasoning. I am not equating "Twilight" with either of these situations, I just wanted to say that it seems that for many people, whether adults or children, the line between reality and fantasy is getting blurrier and blurrier for them. I think it is prudent to remind people that some fantasies are not helpful to a person's life.

Is it me, or is Obama on tv more often than the GEICO lizard?

Big Hollywood : When Does Life Begin, Y'all?

Have you checked out the "Spurious Quotes" section of the official Jefferson wiki? http://wiki.monticello.org/mediawiki/index.php/Ca... They debunk a lot of the so-called "quotes" of Jefferson that are posted online today. Imo, everyone that is interested in the truth of history should take the time to find out what Jefferson did or did not say.

Big Hollywood : When Does Life Begin, Y'all?

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:29:57 +0000

If someone is proffering a quote from someone, then I think they should be able to back it up, don't you? Do you think it makes good sense to believe everything you read on the internet without any form of proof? Btw, I just checked the official Jefferson wiki at http://wiki.monticello.org and could not find anything to substantiate your claim that Jefferson "personally rewrote the Bible to remove all supernatural elements." However, they do prove that he said this in 1823, to John Adams, "The truth is that the greatest enemies to the doctrines of Jesus are those calling themselves the expositors of them, who have perverted them for the structure of a system of fancy absolutely incomprehensible, and without any foundation in his genuine words. And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away all this artificial scaffolding, and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this the most venerated reformer of human errors." Sounds like his time was filled with religious posers and hypocrites like ours. Interestingly, the "Spurious Quotes" section debunks many of the common "sayings" that are erroneously attributed to Jefferson. Also, I would love to hear more about your statements of "Biblical revisions and omissions made by kings and politicized, bureaucratic clergymen." Then again, maybe this isn't the place for this subject. However, I would appreciate it if you can point me to a reliable vetted source proving your assertions? For everyone, if you're looking for a decent book on Bible history, I would recommend either, "In the Beginning: The Story of the King James Bible and How It Changed a Nation, a Language, and a Culture" by Alister McGrath or "Wide as the Waters : The Story of the English Bible and the Revolution It Inspired" by Benson Bobrick. Both books are objective and well researched and free of unprovable claims.

Can you maybe find the original source of that quote? Where did Jefferson write this or say it? It's rumored to be in his autobiography but if so, can you tell me the page number? I think that this "quote" is of those pesky internet rumors that can't be substantiated, on a par with the "Bill Gates is giving away free computers" email. I would believe neither statement unless I saw proof for myself.

According to Wiki, Boone has "sold over 45 million albums, had 38 Top 40 hits and starred in more than 12 Hollywood movies." I'm guessing that probably about 45 more million albums than most people have ever done.

Big Government : Media Matters: Never Mind About All Those Facts... We Have a Police Report!

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 02:44:56 +0000

I just read the AP story and part of it says, "ACORN spokesman Brian Kettenring said: "We've always been clear about Philadelphia. We got them out of the office as quickly as possible, and filed a police report on them within hours." So which do we go with? The 4 minute response time, or the "within hours' as claimed by Kettenring?

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 02:38:58 +0000

I hope someone from Breitbart can go look up the police report to see if it was doctored. Considering how many lies Acorn has told already, is it too much of a stretch of the imagination to wonder if the "police report" they've displayed is totally authentic?

I just went looking at the Philadelphia Police Department website. It looks like they have very limited information online but that anyone can walk in and request a copy of their records. Are there any truth seekers in the Philadelphia area that can go research this? Here's what their site says: "Extracts of police incident reports are available from the Philadelphia Department of Records, Room 167, City Hall, Philadelphia, PA 19107, 215.686-2266. Copies of reports are not available from the Police Department or individual districts. You can, however, inquire as to the content of reports on file at police districts. In all cases, persons who wish to obtain a copy of an incident or auto accident report must submit a form with the required payment. Forms can be obtained from the Department of Records, any police district or, if available, from this web site. " http://www.ppdonline.org/hq_faq.php#Q3

In the video, why does Katherine Conway Russell hold up a copy of the police report, why doesn't she hold up the original?
