Conservatives Must Be Pissed After G.G. Results

Did any conservatives even watch the Golden Globes last night? If they did I'm sure they were clammoring about a conspiracy theory today. Brokeback Mountain - the gay cowboy flick - won four awards, Felicity Huffman won for her role in the film TransAmerica and Geena Davis - the female President on Commander In Chief - also won in her category.

Mayor Nagin Must Have PTSD

After his comments yesterday I am convinced that New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. On MLK day, Nagin decided to make comments regarding New Orleans becoming a "chocolate city", giving off the notion that his city should be made up of mostly black citizens. Nagin also took a lesson from Pat Robertson apparently because he proclaimed that God caused Hurricane Katrina to make New Orleans into a chocolate city. Yikes. I thought only Republicans had the pipeline to God.

Showdown in St. Joseph

I will be in St. Joseph on Wednesday night to broadcast the play by play of the St. Benedict and Gustavus Adolphus women's basketball game. The Blazers are in first place with an 8-1 record in conference play, while the Gusties are a game behind at 7-2. Click here around 7:25 p.m. to listen to the broadcast.

Ken Faffler And His Moronic Goals

Have you ever been reading an article in a newspaper while eating and read something so hideous that it causes you to spit your food out of your mouth and across the room. I just had one of those moments as I was reading a Star Tribune piece about higher enrollment figures at Chrisitan colleges in Minnesota.

In the article, Northwestern Bible College Director of Admissions Ken Faffler declares war on - of all things - coed dorm rooms and political correctness! Oh no, not that, anything but that!

Here's the full quote from the story:

Faffler said families look to schools like his partly because of nervousness about public schools.

"They see news about coed rooms, coed bathrooms ... political correctness, all that kind of stuff," he said. "I think people are getting fed up with it ... and saying, 'Geez, I'm not going to stick my son or daughter in that lifestyle.'"

In typical Evangelical fashion, Faffler attempts to simplify all that is wrong with America by pointing to a few things supported by Liberals. It's hypocrisy at its best. Like when they assemble a "summit" to talk about marriage, but instead of addressing the real issues facing American families like divorce and adultery, they decide to strategize against homosexually.

I'm just wondering what it's going to take for Evangelicals to realize that they are doing more to polarize Christians than to bring them together like God would want.

As for Faffler, I'd like to personally wish him good luck on his goal of ridding his college's campus of political correctness. All I can say is, THANK GOD I didn't go to school there.

Recent Movie Grades

Munich: B+ I thought it was well done, but as someone who doesn't know alot about the ill-feelings between the Palestines and Jews I would have appreciated a little more background information. I also thought it moved a little slowly. But definitely a must-see.

Brokeback Mountain: B Good, but not Oscar worthy in my opinion. There were definitely a couple of powerful scenes and the mountain scenes were beautiful. Not just a movie for those in the gay community.

Walk The Line: A I loved this movie. Great story and great music. When I first saw previews for this movie I thought it would be a movie that my dad would enjoy more than me, but it kept my interest throughout.

Crash: B+ I really enjoyed this movie and disagree with critics who say there was an obvious pre-determined ending. A great conversation starter.

Just Friends: C+ From the same people who directed Wedding Crashers, it will definitely crack you up several times. A little cheesey, but its hard for a comedy like this not to be.

North Country: A Another movie that I loved. I thought it was Oscar worthy, especially in the best picture and best actress categories.

Cinderella Man: B- Better than I thought it would be and not just a boxing movie.

Movies I still have not seen that I need to see: Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire, Two For The Money, Jarhead, Flight Plan.


Not Another Mike

ESPN's John Clayton is reporting that Mike Martz is on the Vikings' short list to replace Mike Tice. I hope this is Clayton throwing a name against the wall and hoping it sticks. Personally I can't stand Martz and I think he's overrated as an NFL coach.
