My shelves are full, 5

Ended up getting all three of the DVDs I spoke of earlier, which means I have to clear some space.  DVDs for sale below.

Rethinking the Holocaust, Middle East Style

A discussion about the Holocaust, which aired December 27 on the Iranian News Channel (IRINN), revealed what we’ve all secretly known all along:  the wholesale slaughter of Jews in concentration camps in WWII is, in fact, a “myth,” and the crematoria and gas chambers used by the Nazis were really just public health tools—the crematoria “used to burn the bodies of those who died of typhus or contagious diseases” and

Advice

I’m heading out to Best Buy once my son wakes from his nap and am thinking of picking up the following flicks, none of which I’ve yet seen.  Advice? Broken Flowers—Bill Murray in a Jim Jarmusch film.  Can I go wrong? Wedding Crashers—Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson The Exorcism of Emily Rose—recommended by several people, but having been burned by Paul Schrader’s Dominion, I’m a little wary…

Autobiography of an ex-Colored Man (UPDATED)

Los Angeles homeless activist Ted Hayes, in Monday’s WSJ, American blacks who are affiliated with the Republican Party are vigorously vilified by Democrats, especially black Democrats. Uncle Tom, sell-out, Oreo–the list of slurs is long. But it is not only insults. I am the founder and director of a unique, progressive homeless facility in downtown Los Angeles, known as the Dome Village. Yet the 35 men, women and children and

A relatively short list – in no particular order – of underappreciated (or largely forgotten) movies you might try for 2006

Your mileage may vary.

“Iran: Europe wanted to complete Holocaust”

From the AP / YNet: Hard-line Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who said Nazis’ attempt to eradicate Jews in Holocaust was a ‘myth,’ now charges that European countries sought to complete genocide by establishing Israel, a Jewish state in the midst of Muslim countries Hard-line Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who said the Nazi attempt to eradicate Jews in the Holocaust was a “Myth,” has now charged that European countries sought to

Deconstructing Parry

Patterico’s Los Angeles Times Year in Review for 2005 represents one rather comprehensive instance of a conservative battling a prominent left-liberal media organ over control of key political narratives.  Well worth a look—and a testament to the kind of rigorous analysis and careful fact-checking that shows the blogosphere at its finest.

“The first post of 2006 post”

So I wake up this morning with a vicious headache, my tongue fuzzed over like Lolita’s love patch, and all I can think about is having myself a nice heaping bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats. Only we’ve run out of Frosted Mini Wheats.  Which means it’s either Cheerios or oatmeal.  And not instant oatmeal, either—I’d have to slow cook the stuff and wait for it to thicken up.  Man, does

“The last post of 2005 post”

Could be it’s just the Freixenet talking, but I’m almost positive Ryan Seacrest has been hitting on me all night with his eyes… Ooh, walnuts—!
