Lots of Stuff

First things first, a disclaimer - this will probably end up being a predominately political post. But, perservere, for there are other goodies too (or just skip to the bottom - we aim to please here at 'Rock). With that said, here's an interesting, article by Orson Scott Card, a sci-fi author, and well-known Democrat. Basically, he talks a bit about the economic crisis as a means to his main end, which is to call out the liberal media for doing such a terrible job. He gets pretty harsh, talking about the double-standard (he often asks how the media would have acted if there were actual evidence that the Republicans actually were completely to blame) and the total lack of journalistic integrity. Worth reading, and it's pretty short.

Here's a great article by George Will, again focusing on the truth behind the economic crisis, and how it's not as bleak as some want us to believe (yet).

Here's a shocker - turns out the Ohio official who ok'd the (illegal) records search on "Joe the Plumber," director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, Helen Jones-Kelly, is not only an Obama supporter, but a maxed-out donor. It's that new-style politics, baby.

File this one under "In Case You Missed It" : Here's a nice synopsis of the journalistic-integrity free LA Times' decision not to release the tapes of Obama speaking at Khalidi's going away party. Just to be clear, Ayers was there, as were many, many, anti-Isreal types.

Finally, a very in-depth analysis called The Comprehensive Argument Against Barack Obama. You can probably guess what it's about. It was written by Guy Benson and Mary Katherine Ham, with input from Ed Morrissey, and posted on Hotair.com. Lots of really thought-provoking, scary stuff that we all should know about him, but don't because the main-stream media is too busy talking about Sarah Palin's shoes. Give it a read, or don't.

As promised, something different. Here's a great interview with Christopher Nolan, director of such films as Memento, Batman Begins. It's a really interesting analysis of one of the most pivotal scenes from The Dark Knight, the interrogation scene between the Batman and the Joker. Very much worth reading, if you're a film buff. Or especially if you're in the buff.

Lastly, another in case you missed it. Awesome, especially considering he played linebacker for Kentucky. I must have watched this 50 times to watch every part of the official's body just to be sure it was intentional; the fact remains - he had plenty of opportunity to avoid contact as he shuffled along (actually, pursued the running back inside-out, just like the teach linebackers to do [believe me, I know; I played linebacker in highschool; years ago]).
