Frank Miller is now a washed up talentless hack, but at one time he revitalized Batman with his 1986 classic "The Dark Knight Returns" followed by "Batman:Year One". His directorial debut, an adaptation of Will Eisner's "The Spirit" was D.O.A. at the box office. Recently in his blog he decribed th... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Cheap_Trick/40 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 04:28:07 Opening Friday: In Time, "the Occupy Wall Street of science fiction films" http://www.aintitcool.com/node/51760

For not lying so much this time?

Fuck you.

Before you get any kind of apology, you need to do some apologizing yourself.

You need to apologize to Shirley Sherrod.

The events of the past weekend SHOULD have been a "Have you no sense of decency, sir?" kind of moment for the Repblican party.

Dear John,
Sometimes, someone who hates you will be more honest with you than a friend. The friend might be afraid of hurting your feelings while I am not. I'll just come out and say it.

I think "This country can send a man all the way up there to plant our flag, but we can't make sure that EVERY American has access to adequate, affordable health care." We can go there, but somehow we can't make sure that no child goes hungry tonight or has a roof over their head.

We don't really give a rat's ass what you think we should do about Iran. If America wanted your opinion on foreign policy (or anything else for that matter) we would have elected YOU instead of Obama.

We didn't.

That would be funny if it weren't so tragic. He laid out 9 principles and said "If you believe in at least seven of them, then we have something in common."

To which I say:

Glenn, if I had ONE thing in common with you, I'd immediately walk into oncoming traffic.

And I really don't like Bob Dylan's vocal style.
