Jack Chick seems to be the latest to jump on the feature film bandwagon.
With his new straight to DVD feature, which, by all accounts is essentially a full color Chick Tract with voiceovers, Jack is set to take his empire ofintolerance and conversion into the 21st century. There are even plans to translate the film into a babel-rific 1000 languages!

The Girl Next Door
Documentry filmmaker Christine Fugate made the movie The Girl Next Door about porn star Stacy Valentine. The film has received strong reviews and played at the Slamdance Film Festival. You can watch a trailer for the movie. I (think) it's a real player file.
why America is safer (for propoganda)
At some point in 2003, this site went from the official site of U.S. House Majority Leader Armey to a cog in the american propaganda machine. How long until the title changes to 'victory in Iran/Syria/Venezuela/Jamaica'?

Don't have a C-section, go to jail.
Melissa Rowland has been charged with murder for refusing a caesarean section that could have saved the life of one of her twins.
In a nation where caesarean rates have reached almost 25% and doctors have couched the procedure in women's rights trappings while massaging numbers to make them sound safer than vaginal births, this seems worrisome.
Caesareans and episiotomies are often used because they are convenient for doctors - not safer or more comfortable for patients. Will this case, if the woman is convicted, lead to a greater restriction of patient choice in birth plans?

Rumsfeld Eats His Own Words On Television
On Face the Nation, Sec of Defense Donald Rumsfeld claimed that the administration wasn't using the words "immediate threat." He stated those words are "folklore" created by the press. Trouble is that he used those very words in a CNN article that was quoted back to him on television.
Best Hans Blix Quote EVER.
Today NPR's Morning Edition featured an interview with former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix, who addressed the possibility that his phone had been tapped:
Well, sometimes I thought so. We always assumed that it was likely -- and it's an uneasy, an unpleasant feeling. . . . Now I say, somewhat jokingly: Look, it's one thing that they bugged us; I wish they had listened more attentively to what we said.
<b>Curious, George:</b> The big questions.
While enjoying a quiet beverage the other night, a friend and I started to wonder what three questions we would ask a source of all knowledge, if one happened to be around. Our three were: (1) Who shot JFK? (2) What happened the Marie Celeste? (3) How did the ancient Egyptians build the pyramids?
So what would other Monkeys go for?
