A newbie ready for the Viking Kittens?
Politics would be better off all around if people could manage to give people like "The Heretical Housewife" on both sides of the aisle nothing but the cold disdain they deserve. American politics deserves better than factionalizing into high-school cliques and trading petty insults (See the "Groundhog Day" post here for example, or the Democrat harassment of GOP Wikipedia sites).
As an aside, your tagline is incorrect. The Marines have been defending freedom since the 19th century - though Congress only recognized them officially in 1775. What's the first line of the Marine's hymn, after all:
"From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli..."
Both of which took place prior to 1775.
Me too
Haemo ... blood ... sharks ... kitties....
In this internet age, anyone can fashion themselves a pundit, I suppose.
What? Her very moniker says she's a housewife - unless liberalism has so saturated the American heartland that housewives no longer cook meals for their family, I'd say my little jab was quite justified.

James Lileks had a great line in his latest on Hollywood: he said Hollywood receives stacks of comment cards nine miles high, asking for movies with NASCAR drivers joining the Marines, going to Iraq, and killing terrorists with martial arts kicks. And what do we get? Gay sheepherders.
Insert your graphic here!

Wake up the Viking Kitties!
So is Hollywood making movies that conforms with demand, or does it have an agenda that drives its product, reducing its revenue and profit for its stockholders? How do you explain its loss of revenue, then?
Oh, and cut the name calling, troll. We're actually talking about something here.
Come on, don't ping the mods yet. We are just starting to have fun....
Wow,,, can you stretch your logic a little further please, I still have some line on my reel.
Oh stop trying so hard. Zots are quick, but the pain lingers. :-)
Looking at your posts... My, you had a busy 45 minutes. Didn't cha?

Hollywood makes movies that conform with its white-collar, liberal backer's sentiments - not the American people. However, landed New-England-monied hands are not about to stop funding something that flatters their idiotic preconceptions, so the original article totally missed the point. Hollywood operates in an intellectual and social vacuum - it isn't on the verge of "dying" any time soon, because it still flatters a particular wealthy segment of the population's viewpoint.
The same thing used to be true with the media in general, until people like Rupert Murdoch and Conrad Black decided to step and use their hard-earned cash to force some balance on the population. Until people like Mel Gibson - willing and able to challenge the Hollywood establishment on it own terms - become more numerous, Hollywood will plow forward with its gay cowboys.
Until then, I stand by my designation as "empty-headed, shrill whining".
