"Waltz With Bashir" kudos a political comment?
In indieWIRE's write-up of the National Society of Film Critics honors, which gave best pic to docu "Waltz with Bashir," included this paragraph:
FishbowlLA blog, reading a bit too much into the award's timing, stirred things up:
While the editors did change some wording in the story (The Circuit didn't read the original version), Eugene Hernandez clarified it before the post got out of hand:
The group chose Ari Folman's animated documentary -- about the atrocities that young members of the Israeli army witnessed during the early 80s Lebanon War -- on the day that Israeli ground troops launched an attack on Hamas in Gaza. Sony Pictures Classics opened the anti-war film in U.S. theaters last week.
FishbowlLA blog, reading a bit too much into the award's timing, stirred things up:
The National Society of Film Critics, normally an apolitical bunch, decided to make a stand against Israel on the same day that the embattled nation launched a ground attack on Hamas in Gaza.
While the editors did change some wording in the story (The Circuit didn't read the original version), Eugene Hernandez clarified it before the post got out of hand:
I certainly didn't write that the critics took a political stance, nor was I intending to do so. Rather, I was trying to note that numerous people yesterday noted the topicality of the group awarding "Bashir" the prize on the same day of the ground invasion.

I think that if you have a blog, then it is what you need.
Tell people about something, someone is advertising, to somebody else for something else.
Personally, I think so.
Here I have a blog about my travels, but I can not share them with people, because somebody would write that this is spam.
A hoster will also kick :)

COULD THIS BE THE OPENING OF THE DOOR WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR?
AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the group “Americans for Freedom of Information†has released copies of President Obama’s college transcripts from Occidental College . Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowshi p for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document would se em to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors have been seeking.
The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama’s legitimacy and qualification to serve as president. When reached for comment in London , where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue. Meanwhile, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs scoffed at the report stating that this was obviously another attempt by a right-wing conservative group to discredit the president and undermine the administration’s efforts to move the country in a new direction.
Britain’s Daily Mail has also carried the story in a front-page article titled, “Obama Eligibility Questionedâ€, leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama’s first official visit to the U.K.
In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama’s legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey. This lawsuit claims Obama’s dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrio’s case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama’s citizenship or qualification to serve as president.
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama’s campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. attorney general, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the matter.
