A good diversion from the depressing political news of late…

The next Star Trek movie is now set for May 2009 instead of Christmas 2008.  Here is the newest trailer and after the fold is the original trailer.

What if Bush & Company are called to The Hague for War Crimes?

Rather, WHEN not IF.  In my opinion it is only a matter of time before George Bush, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales, John Ashcroft, Doug Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, George Tenet, and many others will be charged with credible and substantiated war crimes.  It is a sad predicament and our shame that America has bloodied its reputation with state-ordered and state-sponsored kidnapping, torture, and secret prisons during the past eight years at the direction of George Bush and his Administration.

America is better than this.

Not So Fast!  How about that citizenship “President-elect” Obama?

A new challenge to Senator Barack Obama’s citizenship was filed November 12th in California demanding that the court stop certification of the election results until the state’s secretary of state can ascertain from Senator Obama his legal qualification to be a candidate for President.  This 18 page petition is a quick read.  It offers a good summary of what is at stake and the questions that surround Senator Obama’s citizenship.

Granny Dunham not so important after all

It appears that Granny Dunham has served her purpose during the campaign as the oh-so important “rock of the family” but yet “typical white person” in now President-elect Barack Obama’s life.  After a silent, but both respected and disrespected foil in Obama’s campaign, she died election day.  Obama made barely the slightest mention of her passing.  Today he even skips her memorial.

Recall that the week before the election now-President-elect Obama traveled alone, without his wife and daughters, to make a last brief visit to her.  Michelle did not go and pay her respects, nor did she and Barack allow a last visit by their daughter’s to see their great-grandmother.  Indeed, last summer when they visited Hawaii, only Barack ventured a visit.

Now, today, we see even more evidence of how little Granny Dunham meant to the family and we see a stark example of President-elect Obama’s ‘family values’.  At 5 p.m. today, Hawaiian-time (See Star Bulletin), the memorial service for Madelyn Payne Dunham will be held at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl, where President-elect Obama’s grandfather is already buried.  Not attending is President-elect Obama.  In fact, none of the Obama family apparently care enough to travel, even for a brief moment, to attend today’s memorial service.

No More Bailouts!

It is outrageous that AIG is now lining up for more handouts, the auto industry, which quietly got $25 billion recently, is now asking for $50 billion more!  It seems that every corporation and industry is lining up to ask for a taxpayer handout.  I say Enough!  Even more, rescind the ones already authorized and not yet disbursed.

These companies can fail or survive on their own merits.  That is the nature of our free market, capitalist society.
