So, Armond White of the New York Press wrote a negative review of District 9. No biggie: not everyone loves the same movies, and there’re always gonna be a few critics who buck trends and revile a film that almost everyone else, to varying degrees, loves. The thing is, fans have been noticing that White … more…
Take a look back at an old trailer… He slaps women around, and he likes to play with atom-bomb stuff. He’s the world’s greatest scientist! See what science does to people? He robs banks! He steals confidential nuclear material. But it’s okay, cuz, he only doing it under duress! He was the nation’s most daring … more…
All Obama has to say is: “No one goes bankrupt in Canada, England, or France because they get sick. Why do we let that happen here?” Or: “Sure, America has the finest health care in the world… if you can pay for it. Most of us can’t.” Or: “Any member of the Senate or House … more…

A recent story on AlterNet by Alan Farago suggests that the only place where we’re seeing an accurate reflection of the zeitgeist at the moment is on cable TV: not the news channels, but on networks like HBO, TNT, and AMC.
