Capitalism - Feudalism without the Kings
Tax the Rich
Tax the Rich
Website Wednesday
No Movie Monday because the kids are home and it was the boy's b-day and newsletter prep day. If any one is looking for a nice spring recess flick to rent, try The Iron Giant. A sweet (a really weird word to use in this context) anti-gun, anti-violence, anti-war movie for kids, littler kids that is. It has so good discussion points but the tacked-on Hollywood "soon-to-be-happy" ending weakens the punch. It's from 2000 and apparently bad marketing saw it found little audience then.
Apparently, our NJ Gov had his first official foreign trip abroad and went to Israel where Netanyahu schooled him on the danger of Iran. Now, call me old fashioned but I thought that only the President with the advice of Congress constitutionally get to discuss foreign affairs with foreign leaders. Since this is billed as an "official" trip, was he a representative of the US? A rogue agent? A salivating, want-to-be US Prez? The Gracchi brothers must be turning in their graves.
My website pick has a pretty impressive title: All That Is Interesting:
http://all-that-is-interesting.com/
But it lives up to the hyperbole. Right now, you get to see the sun, up close and personal. Also, Japan's gold forest, Toronto at night, and the world's oldest structures. And you get words and pictures so you can "oh and ah" and learn at the same time.
Click on History and its pages and you see the dead of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, the revolt called the 1968 Prague Spring, and the open casket of the first Soviet cosmonaut to die in space (not for the squeamish.)
Or go to Animals for, well, you know, cute little creatures. But I bet you didn't know there is a really cute spider in the world.
This site is part of the PBH network. Sounds classy, right? Well, this is what PBH says of itself:
Prose Before Hos was founded in 2005 by a couple of pretty good looking guys who will tell you within the first 5 minutes of conversation that they live in Brooklyn. Much like Tina Fey, PBH existed in obscurity until 2008, when we all learned we could make fun of Sarah Palin for a living.
Now, Prose Before Hos is the keystone site to the PBH Network. Devoted to the snarkier side of politics, Prose Before Hos convenes current events with pop culture in an intellectually provocative and entertaining fashion. With an eye for satire, PBH blends original and curated content with mixed media to engage and entertain users. We ask for a reciprocal relationship with our users: comments are appreciated, and encouragement and suggestions on how to better this site are always welcome. We thank you for your participation and patronage of Prose Before Hos.
These guys sound like my type of web masters but even if your politics run right of Attila the Hun take a look at All That Is Interesting. You won't be disappointed.
