You’ve got to hand it to Michael Winterbottom: he’s a prolific director who isn’t afraid to experiment. The results of his experiments are pretty hit and miss, but he’s got as many hits as misses, and that’s a better track record than many can boast. His latest is Trishna, which is also his third Thomas Hardy adaptation. In this case the source material is Tess of the d’Urbervilles, with the story… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : /Film Discovery Date : 19/08/2011 00:13 Number of articles : 2

A brawl broke out during Thursday night’s game between the Georgetown men’s basketball team and the Bayi Rockets. The incident appeared to have initially begun when Georgetown’s Jason Clark took exception to a hard foul from Bayi forward-center, Hu Ke. The two exchanged shoves and, before long, the whole thing turned into a massive fight featuring thrown chairs, tossed water bottles and blows being… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Opposing Views Discovery Date : 18/08/2011 22:17 Number of articles : 3

Dallas Tea Party founder Phillip Dennis turned a wardrobe malfunction on Friday's “MSNBC Live” into possibly the best line of the week. When his earbud dislodged during a heated discussion with Al Sharpton, Dennis marvelously quipped, “I don’t think I could listen to any more of your insanity there without my earpiece falling out” (video follows with transcript and commentary, vulgarity warning): AL SHARPTON, HOST: The issues — look at the issues that the Tea Party represents and how unpopular they are to the American people. Protect . PHILLIP DENNIS, FOUNDER DALLAS TEA PARTY: Which American people, Reverend Al? SHARPTON: (INAUDIBLE) the people — the American people that you claim brought in these 63 Congressional people, remember them? All of a sudden, when you win elections then the American people, when people are saying that those peoples have turned against you all of a sudden you don’t know who they are? I mean, the American people have clearly said that they don’t have the same view of you. I showed you the poll and before the mid- term election last year you had 18% disapproval and now it’s up to 40%. That doesn’t concern you? DENNIS: S–t. SHARPTON: I think you’ve got to put your earpiece back on if you want to hear me. DENNIS: (INAUDIBLE) I’m sorry, I lost my ear piece. I lost my ear piece there. SHARPTON: That shows that you’re not listening to the American people. That’s kind of symbolic. That’s what I’ve been trying to say. But, go ahead Dennis. DENNIS: I don’t think I could listen to any more of your insanity there without my earpiece falling out. That was a poll that was done by the New York Times. If the New York Times said to me, “Good Morning,” I would duck in fear. We don’t trust what comes out of the New York Times and the mainstream media. With the way Sharpton treats his conservative guests, it's surprising more earpieces don't fall out. That said, nice recovery, Phillip. Bravo!

In case you missed it, earlier today Donald Trump decided to offer his co-sign to ready-to-explode rapper Mac Miller, who the Donald called ” the new Eminem .” OK. Well, while we’re not totally down with that statement — I don’t think Miller would be, either, considering their vastly different styles — we are down with admitting that the guy clearly has a lane. Look, kids in high school and college… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : prefixmag Discovery Date : 19/08/2011 00:26 Number of articles : 3

The man who chased down a suspected child abductor and saved a 6-year-old girl from what could have been a horrible fate was honored as a hero. But he is also gaining a new kind of celebrity: as a poster child of sorts for immigration rights. (Aug. 20)

August 20, 2011 No Comment
Stock markets around the world are once again imploding in fear of a global double-dip recession. Appearing on PBS's “Inside Washington” Friday, NPR's Nina Totenberg said Barack Obama can cure what ails us with “a lot of very populist rhetoric” (video follows with transcript and commentary): NINA TOTENBERG, NPR: The fact is that the economy does not get better from its illness unless there are in fact more jobs, because nobody is spending, there aren't, people don't have jobs to, who don't have jobs don't have income to spend. And, I mean, I, I think really the only choice Obama has right now is to, to, is a lot of very populist rhetoric to try and get a real budget that has real tax increases and real cuts and real job creation possibilities. Yeah. Heck with putting forth an actual plan on paper that legislators, the Congressional Budget Office, and the American people can fully examine and analyze. What we need right now is more populist rhetoric from the Populist Rhetorician-in-Chief. This has worked so well for the nation and the economy the past 30-plus months. Oh, and by the way, with a double-dip recession looming, what we really need right now are “real tax increases” to surely push the economy over the edge. Yeah – that's the ticket. Between Obama's rhetoric and some “real tax increases,” the economy will be booming in no time.
