As a kid I loved watching Star Trek. My hero at the time was a man’s man: The heroic, swashbuckling, and ultimate ladies man Captain James T. Kirk played by William Shatner.

A friend who writes a lot of SciFi for both the big and small screens says that Science Fiction is just a Western set in space. Ron must be right since Star Trek now seems to share some theatrical elements with Brokeback Mountain.

This isn’t new, but a reader just made me aware of this. What do you think?

Ron Paul does a great job of explaining the economy and the bailout. It is worth watching!

Check out this ad for Korean Banana Milk. The little girl has the most piercing eyes!

This is a great job of visual storytelling and animation. I obviously don’t think the theology behind the story is good. In fact it is twisted, but I won’t spoil the video with my commentary. Enjoy it for the beauty of the visual story, not the message!

Yesterday I posted a McCain ad because I though it was well done. I wanted to highlight the ad, not the candidate.

Well that generated a dozen “hate mails,” the subject of which focused on my “obvious bias” against Obama, how wonderful of a human being he is, and why there must be something wrong with me for not having a “I vote for Obama” banner on my website.

I’m sure one of the emails was legitimate and organic, but the others were from people I’ve never heard from before with 10 page rambling messages that had similar content. They must have come from the Obama campaign since the same thing happened when I posted “Is Barack Obama A Christian?” last month.

So to placate those who feel I slighted Obama, I’m posting this “anti-Palin” video to make you happy. It is an interview with former Playboy model, Baywatch star, and animal-activist Pam Anderson.

The reporter asks Ms. Anderson if she saw a recent Newsweek article which showed a gigantic bear hide in the office of Sarah Palin’s house. (The bear for the rug I believe was shot by Mrs. Palin herself) .

Anderson’s response to that question was “I can’t stand her, she can suck it!”

So with that wit, wisdom, and analysis from an Obama supporter, I have fulfilled my obligations to objectivity!

This is from the McCain campaign. Obviously it is biased, although no more so than ads from the Obama campaign.

I’m sharing this because it a great ad, not because I want to slam Obama (so no more hate mail please). It tells a simple story, whether true or not I don’t know, and is memorable. It is very well done and is something people will think about on Election Day (particularly the closing line about sex)!

What do you think?

Do you ever find that you think someone is brilliant because they agree with you? Well I have been saying for a long time now that we as a society are too busy and consequently aren’t as creative or productive as we should be. U Mass Professor David Levy is saying the same thing. What a brilliant man!

Check out Prof. Levy’s talk he gave at Google last year. It is almost an hour long, but well worth the time.
