Jon you're close but no cigar. It was a ploy to get Obama's demoralized base energized. Nothing pisses off professional women (who went 60% for obama in 2008) more than a perceived attack on their autonomy. National polls already show that the contraception mandate issue is playing into Obama's favor, 60% of the country couldn't care less about this.
I don't know why everyone's so mad. The trailer looks awesome! Charles Bronson killing hipsters in 21st century NYC, I"ll buy that for a dollar.

Whedon didn't direct or write Titan AE, that's why it was still worth watching, but you could see the Whedon-esque touches throughout the movie which now just make me cringe. Look out, here comes the female buttkicker, we all know who's gonna be in charge, she's gonna show the guuuuys how its done.
Paying 1 billion dollars in 2012 for streaming rights to television shows. That's a billion dollars in the pockets of studios who would otherwise have lost that revenue had Netflix focused more on competing with Redbox through its already established DVD mailing business. The day's not far off when Netflix will be goon-armed by ISPs for a billion since it uses up a huge percentage of their bandwidth. Netflix: WINNING!
Never going to happen, apart from the pro-Obama Osama film. Which is why you're getting this movie about a whiny little loser who instead of saying F THE EFFING TERRORISTS like any young boy who lost his father would goes on a little emo treasure hunt. BOO HOO daddy died and I'm so broken up and now I get to act like a little girl because being angry about my dad being killed about terrorists is WRONG.
He was great in Coppola's Tetro, I've stopped watching weird cinema but the off kilter stuff Gallo's in (like Tetro) appeals to me. This one I'm not sure...
Punching conservatives in the gut while pretending "for the lulz" is why I stopped going to Reddit.
So I just saw the Gathering Storm (2002), another movie that validates my theory that leftists dropped all pretensions of civility after the invasion of iraq in a pure ploy for power. Winston Churchill material frequently gets a world war 2 get out of leftist jail card though. This biography of Margaret Thatcher's dementia years is like doing a biography of Churchill on vacation in Europe in his post-stroke years while completely ignoring his famous speeches and milestones to focus on how Diana & Randolph Churchill turned out bad because he was busy doing..something... political that's not at ALL relevant to his story.
Its an old canard, its a low blow to any great personality to be accused of having ruined their family life. Btw, Churchill paid all of his son's ballooning debts, i'm sure they'd find a way to hang that around his neck too had he not been one of the greatest war-time leaders.
What would you expect from HBO or any other liberal network? Don Draper is a sexist boor, but he's also a sexy fraud who loves his kids. Tony Soprano murders men with his bare hands, but he's "the sexiest new jersey mob boss ever", Dexter kills people but he's sexy because he kills bad people. Even Steve Buscemi as Nucky has the ability to sleep with a hot chick and an intelligent chick. Ladykillers all, compassionate heroes all.
Dick Cheney, who's a torturer, he lies, he's a complete fraud, he's a mastermind, he's the hidden hand behind the presidency. He's also the most evil man to have ever lived.
I agree with Ms. Collins in that a large navy is the best way of force projection and it precludes us having to put bases among people who don't deserve our money or our security.
However, the quality control problems with shipbuilding are getting worse and worse throughout the decades. We're not at the Russian level of corruption and graft yet and I'm sure more experienced people can talk about this in detail but the shipbuilding process is seriously compromised because everyone is looking the other way to save their pension or their pay-grade. You don't want to be the admiral who gets fired because you refused to sign the right documents when they landed on your desk.
Without inserting campaign politics too much, this is why I support Rick Perry's plan (not perry, his idea) of a part time congress or some kinds of constitutional controls that create high-er turnover in the legislative branch. That's less days and years for lobbyists working for corrupt union and shipbuilders to petition them.
