I just watched an amazing movie called "Battle Royale".  I'm not positive but I think when the movie went to the States the name got changed to (I think) "Suicide Club". However...its not really about suicide so much as it is about killing people...unless you find some poetic suicide type meaning from it...which I didn't find.

Its an amazingly violent story that parallels High School life in Japan.  In Japan students spend one year in the same class with the same other 40 students.  Every class also has their own assigned teacher.  In the movie a specific class of 40 students is abducted to an island and the teacher comes out to tell the students that essentially they have to kill each other and that only one student can survive. ... oh ya... its violent.  But it is tragically beautiful...I don't really even know why.

I just read this amazing opinion piece written by the 'president' of "Media Matter's For America."  I love the article, I think it rationalizes all of my frustrations about Fox in a way that just makes me happy.

The only problem is that the darned fool had to post his opinion on The Huffington Post, an online news source that even I can tell is way too far left.

But still...here it is:

I think Fox Network's obvious right lean is ok, and should be respected so long as the news networks discloses this simple "Consverative" name tag to their reporting.  Obama's pitiful PR/Media crew, however, has really crossed some lines.  I pity Obama for having such tragically inept advisers.

It doesn't really mean much.  In fact, I think Obama is kinda failing at...most things... for the time being.  But... still... good for him!

On the other hand, I can't wait to see what Fox has to say about this. **eagerly waiting for RSS feed updates**

Perhaps it doesn't hurt to consider:
