W - the movie

Josh Brolin will portray President Bush in Oliver Stone's film "W." (Getty Images photo)
President George W. Bush is a foul-mouthed, reformed drunk obsessed with baseball, Saddam Hussein and a conflicted relationship with his dad. Or at least that's how he's portrayed in the script for Oliver Stone's upcoming feature "W."
"When you embark on something as important as this," he said, "the truth is extremely important, and Oliver is relentless about the truth and facts."

"It is not going to be simplistic at all. It is powerful and not trying to be skewed to the left, but to be real. The truth is surprising and, frankly, shocking enough."

Clean up after Bush

Fitna is a 2008 short film by Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders.

The Metric system is superior to all other systems - You might measure things in "Gallons" or "Stone", I respect that - but I think you are inferior in the face of metric values. There are only 3 countries in the world who hasn't adopted this master system. The "Anti-Metric" states, USA, Burma and Liberia... The axis of evil. Countries who doesn't know their limits, cause' they dont have the knowledge and units to define their limits.

One World under Metric!

How "attitude" can affect your general appearance

You've probably heard the song Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot. A song about a bodypart, its size - and its effect on homies. Hot 100 Billboard Chart nr. 1 for 5 weeks in 1992... Sir Mix-a-Lot hasn't come close to his one hit wonder since...

But lying in bed with my Ipod on song-shuffle - I heard Jonathan Coulton's version. I thought, what a nice song - the lyrics are a strange, but cool in a way. Today I discovered what the original was like, uh - now that is blatant sexism! Why wasn't Coulton's version sexist in my ears?

Jerry Springer - The Opera (Original Cast Recording)

Wikipedia: Jerry Springer: The Opera is a British musical written by Stewart Lee and Richard Thomas, based on the television show The Jerry Springer Show. The show is notable for its profanity, its irreverent treatment of Judeo-Christian themes, and surreal images such as a troupe of tap-dancing Ku Klux Klan members. The musical is completely sung throughout, with the exceptions of Jerry, who speaks, and a brief speech by Steve. (more)
