I just got a new lens (canon ef 50mm f/1.4). And as per usual, molly is one of the first subjects i shoot whenever i get new glass. The image is a little underexposed, but i love the sharpness and shallow DOF at f/2.8.
This is for everyone who saw last night's MNF game against the Ravens and were shocked that the Pats escaped almost-certain defeat again for the second week in a row!
Oh. My. God. If this video didn't exist, Dave Chappelle would have to bring back his show and make this skit... the only thing missing is him urinating on some 16 year old!
(I know the season's over for pretty much both teams, but it still bears mentioning...)
Yankees and Red Sox fans piss me off just the same, so please don't come at me with your "yankees suck" bullshit or "boston sucks" tripe, because you're all both equally gay:
Mmmhmm, that's right- i spent last tuesday making tons of cat macros using that lolcats site (now inactive, sadly.) I had some other ones that i forgot to save, but hopefully they'll be up soon. In the meantime, don't forget to check out the rest of my flickr set!
The Post's Dana Milbank did an excellent job detailing the Council on American-Islamic Relations's thinly veiled anti-semitism when he covered a press conference they held yesterday featuring two controversial academics who were critical of the "Israeli lobby" in washington:
But Mearsheimer, with co-author Stephen Walt of Harvard's Kennedy School, set off a furious debate this spring when they argued that "the Israel lobby" is exerting undue influence in Washington; opponents called them anti-Semitic.
Yesterday, at the invitation of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), they held a forum at the National Press Club to expand on their allegations about the Israel lobby. Blurring the line between academics and activism, they accepted a button proclaiming "Fight the Israel Lobby" and won cheers from the Muslim group for their denunciation of Israel and its friends in the United States.
Whatever motivated the performance, the result wasn't exactly scholarly.
Walt singled out two Jews who worked at the Pentagon for their pro-Israel views. "People like Paul Wolfowitz or Doug Feith . . . advocate policies they think are good for Israel and the United States alike," he said. "We don't think there's anything wrong with that, but we also don't think there's anything wrong for others to point out that these individuals do have attachments that shape how they think about the Middle East."
"Attachments" sounds much better than "dual loyalties." But why single out Wolfowitz and Feith and not their non-Jewish boss, Donald Rumsfeld?
"I could have mentioned non-Jewish people like John Bolton," Walt allowed when the question was put to him.
But he didn't, because he was preaching to a crowd of (well-dressed) anti-semites and terrorist apologists who foam at the mouth just thinking about of destroying Israel, once and for all. What bothers me though, is the fact that CAIR gets any attention from the media, even though it's pretty well known that they might as well be proxy spokesmen for Hamas, Hezbollah and Al Qaeda. I guess reporters still have to cover both sides of the story, even when that other side would just as easily kidnap you, behead you, or, if you're lucky- just force you to convert to islam at gunpoint.
So at long last, Samuel L. Jackson's answer to "Passenger 57" is finally here. I'll admit right now that i don't have a hardon the size of a 747 for this movie like the rest of the interweb does, nor do i really understand its groundswell of hype. It doesn't matter though because i got sucked in just in time to enjoy watching it tomorrow. (I didn't even mind listening to it's cheesier-than-velveeta theme song.) I don't give a damn about the reviews- the only thing that's going to influence my opinion of this film is the jack fuckin' daniels in my flask that'll be sipping on before, during and after the viewing. This movie will be so intentionally shittacular that there is no way anyone would want to watch it sober under any conditions. Hell, according to the AP, it might be the new Rocky Horror Picture Show in terms of audience participation, if that gives one any idea as to how insanely obnonxious people are going to be while watching this.
In the interest of saving you $30 in movie tickets to see the proposed Atlas Shrugged trilogy, here's the abridged version of her novel instead, in a quick and easy to read blog entry. (Change the protagonist from a beautiful female railroad tycoon named Dagny to a handsome male architect named Roark and voila! You're now reading The Fountainhead!)
Of course, suckers like ikilled007 and mfisher will see it 3 times anyway, just for the creepy sex scenes featuring Angelina Jolie. Feh.
