I Am Legend
In his latest movie of the above title, Will Smith plays a brilliant, black scientist who sacrifices his life to save the world. Sounds plausible? Nope, I don't get it, either. I was just trying to figure out exactly how many brilliant black scientists who might be prepared to sacrifice themselves to save the world I knew of, either directly or indirectly. The answer was none. OK, forget about the self-sacrificing aspect. How many, I asked myself, brilliant black scientists could I name? Uh, again, it was zilch. OK, forget about the brilliant aspect. How many plain old black scientists, then? Sheesh, it was still too tough! But I guess that's the thing about Hollywood. At the end of the day, the garbage it spews forth is only fantasy – and 'I Am Legend' is about as far removed from reality as it gets.

An uncertain future for Prince Harry
Prince Harry
The British Army general who has pulled Prince Harry back from active service in war-ravaged Iraq may or may not have saved his life and the lives of others who would have been in his unit, but he has destroyed the ambitious young man’s career for sure. The decision makes sense from a tactical point of view, but it plays very badly in all other respects. Yes, it’s a victory of sorts for the insurgency, but more significantly for Harry, he will never now carry the gravitas to command troops anywhere at any time.
As a future commander there will forever be the lingering stain on his reputation that he was given preferential treatment and kept out of harm’s way on account of his family background. This is terribly unfair to the young Prince, whom Phaedrus believes to be a genuinely decent and courageous young man whose desire to show his mettle has been cruelly thwarted by circumstance. But any men under his future command simply won’t regard him with any real respect of the kind that is only granted to those who’ve been up to their necks in muck and flying bullets. He should now seriously consider his position.

Mickey Mouse gives CNN and BBC the shudders!
CNN and BBC; two of the most Jewish-influenced networks in international TV news had the nerve to run a story about a Mickey Mouse-like character on a Palestinian TV program that they accused of being a propaganda tool for instilling anti-Semitic hatred in the minds of young Palestinian TV viewers.
Curious, nevertheless, how the BBC and CNN never tell the OTHER side about how the children of Israel are instructed from a very young age to DETEST not only Muslim children, but additionally EVERY non-Jew the world over. The sole difference here, being that the Jews of Israel are rather more discreet about how they go about infecting the minds of their children.
Indeed, the Jews prefer the time-honoured method: endless one-to-one readings from those closely guarded (unabridged) versions of the Talmud, which are FAR more poisonous to young minds than any cartoon character could possibly be.
