That’s what I didn’t expect from the Wachowski brothers (The Matrix), this angry, summoning Tom Paine moral dispatch that puts our pundits, politicians, and cable news hosts to shame. V for Vendetta instills force into the very essence of four-letter words like hate, love, and (especially) fear, and releases that force like a fist. Off come the masks, and the faces are revealed.
Jesus got up one day a little later than usual. He had been dreaming so deep there was nothing left in his head. What was it? A nightmare, dead bodies walking all around him, eyes rolled back, skin falling off. But he wasn't afraid of that. It was a beautiful day. How 'bout some coffee? Don't mind if I do. Take a little ride on my donkey, I love that donkey. Hell, I love everybody.
Ok now I get it, you're saving your really good lies for some smarter cop, is that it? I'm just a donut in the on-deck circle. Wait 'till the real guy gets here. Wait 'till the big guy comes back. I'm prob'ly just his secretary. I'm just Montell Williams, you wanna talk to Larry King! ... I've been a murder policeman for ten years, if you're gonna lie to me, you lie to me with respect!
Sometimes I rock 'n roll
Sometimes I stay at home
And it's just fine..
Since everyone and their uncle has been asking, about 1450 micropatrons contributed $39,900 over the past year...99.9% of that coming during the 3 week fund drive.
Keralafylkið á Indlandi nýtur minni hagvaxtar og hefur minni þjóðarframleiðslu á kjaft en flest indversk fylki. En eins og hagfræðingurinn og nóbelshafinn Amyarta Sen bendir á þá er meðalaldur þar hærri, læsi meira og heilbrigðisástand betra en annars sataðar á Indlandi. Sama er upp á teningnum í hinu lukta landi Bhútan sem ekki tekur þátt í alþjóðlegri samkeppni. Þar eru menn betur menntir, fæddir og skæddir en víðast í þriðja heims löndum. Samt mælist þjóðarframleiðslan á kjaft afar lítil, landið er ,,tæknilega" með fátækustu löndum heims. Eins og gefið var í skyn segja mælingar á þjóðarframleiðslu ekki alltaf mikið um kjör manna. Mælingar þessar mæla nefnilega bara efnahagsvirkni á markaði. Það þýðir að baki menn brauð heima hjá sér er það ekki tekið með í útreikninga á þjóðarframleiðslu þótt það stríði gegn heilbrigðri skynsemi að framleiðslan aukist ekki fyrir vikið. En þjóðarframleiðsla eykst ef bílslys verður, sú staðreynd stríiðr svo sannarlega gegn heilbrigðri skynsemi. Því ber að taka öllu tali um mælingar á þjóðarframleiðslu með varkárni.
It's thick, creamy [...] and stands erect at a whopping 46.5 centimeters -- over 21 inches in the old parlance - and, according to the Pleasure Support Squad formed by Josei Jishin (2/21), Japan's gals can't stop licking it.

,,I just couldn't resist it. If the visual appeal wasn't enough, one mouthful and I was filled with pleasure," reports Yasuko, a member of the Josei Jishin Pleasure Support Team.
BEIJING -- The top editors of the China Youth Daily were meeting in a conference room last August when their cell phones started buzzing quietly with text messages. One after another, they discreetly read the notes. Then they traded nervous glances.
Colleagues were informing them that a senior editor in the room, Li Datong, had done something astonishing. Just before the meeting, Li had posted a blistering letter on the newspaper's computer system attacking the Communist Party's propaganda czars and a plan by the editor in chief to dock reporters' pay if their stories upset party officials.
No one told the editor in chief. For 90 minutes, he ran the meeting, oblivious to the political storm that was brewing. Then Li announced what he had done.
The chief editor stammered and rushed back to his office, witnesses recalled. But by then, Li's memo had leaked and was spreading across the Internet in countless e-mails and instant messages. Copies were posted on China's most popular Web forums, and within hours people across the country were sending Li messages of support.
The government's Internet censors scrambled, ordering one Web site after another to delete the letter. But two days later, in an embarrassing retreat, the party bowed to public outrage and scrapped the editor in chief's plan to muzzle his reporters.
... in August, Li Erliang proposed a point system for awarding bonuses to the paper's staff members. Reporters would receive 100 points if their articles were praised by provincial officials, 120 if praised by the propaganda department and 300 if praised by a member of the Politburo. Points would be deducted if officials criticized articles. Just one report that upset a party leader could mean loss of a month's salary.Það besta við þetta er samt að bréfið sem gaurinn skrifaði, og sem fór síðan einsog eldur í sinu útum allt á nokkrum mínútum, var 13.000 orða langt. Haldiði að einhver myndi nenna að lesa svo langt bréf, sama um hvað það fjallaði, ef ég myndi senda það til allra sem ég þekki? Minnir mig hálfpartinn á gaurana í post-soviet Rússlandi sem söknuðu gömlu vondu daganna, þegar fólk las vegna þess að hið skrifaða orð skipti máli. Illa grunduð rómantík að vissu leyti, en ritskoðun byggir vissulega á þeirri forsendu að það sem er skrifað og það sem er birt á opinberum vettvangi hljóti að hafa áhrif..
We have a tradition of satire when dealing with the royal family and other public figures, and that was reflected in the cartoons. The cartoonists treated Islam the same way they treat Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and other religions. And by treating Muslims in Denmark as equals they made a point: We are integrating you into the Danish tradition of satire because you are part of our society, not strangers. The cartoons are including, rather than excluding, Muslims...sem er náttúrulega kjaftæði, a.m.k. til hálfs. Það er allavega mjög erfitt að sjá þetta alltsaman fyrir sér í formi vináttuvottar, Hands Around Denmark o.s.frv. Hinsvegar er það alveg rétt að þarna er trúarlegum tabúum múslima ekki gert lægra undir höfði en hindurvitnum annarra trúarbragða..
