Little Zangief: Casey Heynes Unloads on Bully
Little Zangief: Casey Heynes Unloads on Bully | The News is NowPublic.com
The video:
A video was posted to Reddit as "Child finally snaps after being bullied". As advertised, it captures a fight between two kids. The smaller kid is harassing the huskier kid, punching him in the face and stomach. The bigger kid just stands there and takes it... until he doesn't. The bigger kid then picks up the bully and slams him into the ground. The bully then has trouble getting up as the heavier kid walks away...Another take from Desdspin.com
Casey's had enough. The bigger kid on the right "has been bullied his whole school life," says the video description, "and this is what happens when he snaps!!" Hence the jackknife powerbomb...

Battle: Los Angeles
I just saw Battle: LA and I was surprised how much I disagree with the critics. I read a bunch of reviews after seeing it and I can only conclude based on comments by reviewers such as “If you're the kind of person for whom "…they blowed it up real good" is a positive review, you'll love this film…” and “…Pretty much cardboard, down to the heroic patriotic speeches..” and “…the flat military characters with hackneyed dialogue and corny sentimentality…” Is that much of the criticism is based on the critics irritation at the pro-military, pro-USA, and Pro-Duty and courage the permeates this film.
Is it a great movie, probably not, but is it a good movie, YES. However, if you hate America, manliness, the military, heroes, etc. then you will hate this movie. And, if you are looking for wimpy military characters that crack at the first gun shot then you will hate this movie. If you hate honor, duty, and courage you will hate this movie.
If you like all those things you “might” like it. I also read a lot of criticism over special effects. I totally don’t get this criticism either. They are as good as they needed to be. If I had to give this movie a grade I would say B+.

Obama Administration Divided on Treatment of WikiLeaks Suspect Bradley Manning
Obama Administration Divided on Treatment of WikiLeaks Suspect Bradley Manning
I say send him to Gitmo until his execution
Manning is being held in the brig on charges of aiding the enemy. He’s in solitary confinement for 23 hours every day and is stripped naked before he goes to bed. Some in the Obama Administration believe he is being “mistreated” by the Marines. From The Guardian:
Hillary Clinton’s spokesman has launched a public attack on the Pentagon for the way it is treating military prisoner Bradley Manning, the US soldier suspected of handing the US embassy cables to WikiLeaks...

Great Website - "City Journal"
I stumbled across a great website today called City Journal.
Here is the excerpt from the website's about us
Here is the excerpt from the website's about us
City Journal is the nation’s premier urban-policy magazine, “the Bible of the new urbanism,” as London’s Daily Telegraph puts it. During the Giuliani Administration, the magazine served as an idea factory as the then-mayor revivified New York City, quickly becoming, in the words of the New York Post, “the place where Rudy gets his ideas.” The Public Interest goes further, calling City Journal “the magazine that saved the city...”
A Quick Vent
Something that really bugs me is when members of an opposing political party or “journalists” who lean one way or another, try to tell the party that they do not belong to and who they do not support who they should or should not put forth as a candidate.
IT IS NONE OF THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS BUSINESS WHO THE REPUBLICANS NOMINATE FOR PRESIDENT...THEY WOULD NOT VOTE FOR ANYONE THE GOP NOMINATED.
Also, the "vetting" process for VP is the business of the GOP nominee and hie/her staff, not Chris Matthews or Rachel Madow! Especiall since NONE OF YOU VETTED OBAMA IN ANY WAY!
