Larry Flynt knows when to bring mockery to its utlimate status.  He is pleading with Congress to ask for a $5 billion dollar bailout for the Porn industry citing that the depressed state of the econony is leading to lesser sex. 

Larry Flynt says Americans can do without cars but cannot do without sex.  Say, he hit a home run out of the ballpark with that one!

My hat's off to Larry.  He knows this whole bailout is a joke and I don't blame him for getting into the act.

Both are great and famous!

Nancy Pelosi today was re-elected as Speaker of the House, and she received a standing ovation.  I'm standing and applauding, too!

Astonishing!  This movie is a sure front-runner for Best Picture of the Year.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" can best be described as a human metamorphosis backwards.  I saw this movie on December 31, and I was captivated for almost 3 hours with a F. Scott Fitzgerald short story brought to the big screen.  This film is for those who love good stories.  We get to see the birth of Benjamin who resembles E.T., his difficult rehabilitation in the New Orleans boarding house, his friendship with a tug boat captain who gives Benjamin his first job and takes him to a brothel for his first sexual encounter, Benjamin's brutal witness to the horrors of WWII, his long courtship and eventual marriage to Daisy, Benjamin's emerging as the young blonde stud during the 50's and 60's, and culminating to the final chapter in Benjamin's life that is a tear-jerker.

The editing is amazing.  There is some humor at appropriate times interspersed.  I'll always remember that poor soul who kept talking about being struck by lightning 7 times.

Brad Pitt will be immortalized with this role.  I appreciated the re-creation of 1918 New Orleans on Armistice Day.  The New York of the 1940's was another nostalgic charmer.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is an original and it is so satisfying to see something never done before on the big screen.  You will leave the theater with the knowledge that you have seen an excellent movie which you can tell everyone about at your next social gathering.

A fantastic performance from Frank Langella as Richard Nixon seals this movie for Oscar bait.  I can also make the same statement for Michael Sheen's performance as David Frost.

A novelty is a cameo appearance by Patty McCormack (little Rhoda from THE BAD SEED).  She portrays Pat Nixon.

I saw FROST/NIXON on December 30.  I am of the philosophy that a director's guidance determines if the story is going to be a hit or miss with the audience.  Ron Howard's directing is the key factor in making FROST/NIXON an historically memorable movie.  Ron Howard pits Richard Nixon and David Frost into a frenzied chess game where one of the two has to emerge as the victor during the taped interviews.  FROST/NIXON incorporates a splendid re-telling of the Watergate scandal at the beginning of the movie so if someone is not familiar with the historical event, the viewer will be well oriented.

I couldn't help but notice that Frank Langella's make-up resembled Ed Sullivan's face rather than Nixon's.

Richard Nixon point blank asked David Frost, before an interview was to begin, if he engaged in any fornicating with his girlfriend. I always thought Nixon was so strait-laced.  It's amusing how Nixon tagged journalists as "sons of whores."

Barack Obama is a man with class.  He knows when the Conservatives and Right Wingers, who can't stand the loss they took in November, have nothing better to do than to circulate this skinhead first grade mentality song.

However, the Magic Negro who lives in D.C. will begin his act in January when he makes the Conservatives and Right Wingers all of a sudden disappear.

Imagine Carrie White's mother (from Stephen King's book and movie) in a nun's habit and you have Sister Aloysius.  Ingrid Bergman - NOT!

There is no doubt that this movie will gather Oscar nominations.

I saw DOUBT on December 29.  "So.....It's happened" will go down as one of those memorable movie lines to be played in Trivia games.

The acting quartet consisting of Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, and Viola Davis is a Director's dream come true.  All four should be Oscar nominated for their outstanding performances.

This Sister Aloysius will scare you, and if anyone has experienced parochial school, he or she can relate to the idiosyncrasies of no ball point pens and pagan secular songs.

Gossip is vicious and it makes its ugly appearance throughout.  The dialogue is intense and builds up a mystery as to whether something heinous is going on in the parish.

When you leave the theater, you will be pondering, "Did he or didn't he?"  DOUBT makes you think and this attribute is what makes this movie work.

This morning on the Sirius Playboy Channel, Dr. Sari Locker was promoting the joys of masturbation. 

Most religions declare masturbation to be a sin but I think it is necessary, let alone healthy. 

Masturbation can help a young male teen from being tempted to engage in sex with another.  I think a father should send his teenage son to the bathroom with a Playboy magazine and have him pleasure himself before taking a girl to the Senior Prom.  Dad won't have to worry about something happening nine months later.

Servicemen masturbate.  They would love to have issues of Playboy sent to them instead of cookies and Old Spice.

I have read sex surveys where most married men masturbate in the shower.  Women love to masturbate also although many won't admit to it.

I can't stress enough that masturbation should be taught in all sex education classes.  Masturbation and abstinence are great partners together.  Teenagers should masturbate frequently in order to remain chaste so they won't fool around with others.

According to the latest revised Census figures, Arizona should gain another seat in Congress when 2010 arrives.  This latest projection will give Arizona a total of 11 electoral votes with the 2012 election.  Arizona was the second highest State in population growth from July 1, 2007 to July 1, 2008.  Utah beat us to rank as # 1 in fastest population growth.

More representation in Congress from our State pleases me.

I hope others remember this Christmas show that aired back in 1961 featuring Red Skelton's portrayal of Freddie the Freeloader who finds a rag doll that magically comes to life for a couple of hours on Christmas Eve.  The rag doll was portrayed by Cara Williams of "Pete and Gladys" fame.  Both Freddie and his newfound friend are playing together like two storybook children in the park.  Then, when the clock strikes 12 midnight, the rag doll waves good-bye and turns back to the lifeless toy.  Freddie weeps and then gives away the rag doll to a Christmas toy collection dumpster.

This is one of those Christmas shows that I always remember.

The election of Barack Obama has been voted as the #1 news story by the members of the Associated Press. 

It's a given!  I couldn't think of another news story that could covet its #1 position.  I'm happy!

Attorney General Jerry Brown of California is correct that the majority cannot take away the fundamental rights of a minority, therefore, he is urging the California Supreme Court to void Proposition 8.

Everyone is equal under the U.S. Constitution and the voters cannot take away the rights of others.  There have been cases before where States have passed English only amendments by the majority of voters only to have them declared invalid by that State's Supreme Court.

If Birmingham, Alabama put an initiative on the ballot to bring back segregated swimming pools and the majority of the voters passed it, the State Supreme Court would have to declare the ballot null and void.

Another scenario could involve San Francisco putting an initiative on the ballot declaring that marriage is between two people of the same gender.   If such a ballot passed by the majority of the voters in San Francisco, the California Supreme Court would have to declare that ballot unconstitutional since it is taking away the fundamental rights of other citizens.  Everyone is equal under the U.S. Constitution.

It is inevitable that one day in the near future that the U.S. Supreme Court will have to determine if States can pass measures declaring that marriage is between one man and one woman.  Since the U.S. Constitution does not define marriage, I think the Supreme Court will strike down those amendments just as the Court did a few years ago with those States that still had anti-sodomy laws on the books.

The majority can never take away the rights of others, Period!  It is unconstitutional and un-American.  Also, this country is now under the Democrats and Obama did declare himself to be a fierce advocate for equal rights for gays and lesbians.

A definite Oscar contender! 

Sean Penn is incredible with his portrayal of gay activist and politician, Harvey Milk.  He just has to be nominated for Best Actor.  He is so involved in this part that one would think Sean Penn was somehow cloned for the role.

I saw MILK on December 19.  What makes this movie persuading, even to someone who leans to the Right, is the emotional impact with actual footage of the late 60's and 70's gay civil rights movement.  Anita Bryant makes a comeback with her fiery crusade that only leads to solidarity for Gays throughout the USA.  The viewer is pulled in like magnet to steel with the struggle for equality through the eyes of Harvey Milk.

MILK is presented as both story and documentary.  I do remember the tragic events on the news that took place in 1978 in San Francisco with the murders of the Mayor and Harvey Milk, and this film will resuscitate those painful memories.  MILK comes to a tragic ending, yet, maintains a powerful legacy in regards to the Gay Rights movement that continues to grow stronger and stronger.

A supermarket chain in New Jersey (ShopRite) refused to inscribe "Adolf Hitler" on a birthday cake from a request by  the parents who named their son, who just turned three, with this controversial name.  There are some children named "Adolf" and I don't think any type of a stigma should be attached to that name.  Ditto, for any child named, "Hussein."  Where the outcry occurs is when the shameful surname is attached.  I would dread to think of any family with the last name of "Oswald" naming their son, "Lee Harvey."  There is nothing wrong with "Lee" nor "Harvey" but when these two names are attached to the surname, the name takes on a different and despicable meaning.

I'm thinking of the ridicule this boy is going to face when he enters school.  You know how cruel children can be?   I think it's a form of child abuse for parents to name their son, "Adolf Hitler."

I was reading the article in USA Today where the parents claim their son isn't going to grow up and do what Hitler did, however, the other two siblings also bear names praising the Third Reich.

This happens every year where I will receive at least one of those awful Christmas letters that tells a whole story with characters involved that you do not know.  There was an episode on "Everybody Loves Raymond" where they gathered around the table dissecting one of these letters and laughing at the ridiculous anecdotes.

What is amusing in practically all of these letters is how the author writes the letter in the third person.  Then, you will be given a pie in the face about some relative that is unknown.  It could be Aunt Ida who had to get a colostomy bag attached or LuAnne who just started her first ballet lesson.  Who's LuAnne?  I could care less about Aunt Ida.

Bragging becomes the norm.  I can just picture "My Child Made the Honor Roll" bumper sticker. 

I hate it when someone sends me a Christmas card and writes on that card where somebody passed away.  I read in an etiquette book sometime ago that you are never to write a letter on the card itself.  If you want to write something, you either slip a note inside the card or write a separate letter.   When I receive one of those dreaded cards, I just say to myself, "So, you want to depress me at Christmas?"

But getting back to those obnoxious letters.....I know the intentions are good but you can really have a good laugh when you read that letter over again.

I'm not the only person who feels this way because others have voiced their opinion to me that "The Christmas Shoes" by NewSong is a depressing song to play during the Holidays.  Sometimes I just have to get up and shut off the radio as soon as I hear that song playing.  I want to hear happy songs during Christmas and this song really puts a damper on the jovial Holiday spirit.  Radio stations do have the right to play this song, but for those who don't like this depressing song, we can always change the channel.
