Thankfully, the bloggospehre remains a minor and relative unimportant echo chmaber with little relevance to the populace as a whole. Much like Holocaust deniers, moon landing conspiracy people and Scientologists.

The best blogs respond to other blogs of different ideological persuasion, even when they have a strong point of view. And many are followed closely by the mainstream media - in fact they overlap the mainstream media - some MSM like Josh Marshall and Mickey Kaus and TNR and NRO have blogs, some bloggers get published in MSM, and some ex-MSM like Andy Sullivan have blogs and also occasionally get columns in MSM. Blogs arent really a seperate world from MSM, theyre just another medium.

The blog discussion is with Ogie and relates to the charge these new documents about Bush's national guard record were forgeries. I really don;t give a crap, since I don;t care if bush was a cocaine fiend and giving blowjobs to sailors for his booze money at the time, since my vote against him is based on the fact I think his policies have been a disaster and don;t like him personally.

She fits a "ditzy dumb blonde" sterotype much better.

Come to think of it, she may very well represent America's youth with it's short attention span and it's...

I think the "smack" link in the chain is redundant, but I get the point. Thanks.

Don't you people know anything.

Whitey on the Moon
Gil Scott Heron
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face and arms began to swell.
(and Whitey's on the moon)
I can't pay no doctor bill.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Ten years from now I'll be payin' still.
(while Whitey's on the moon)
The man jus' upped my rent las' night.
('cause Whitey's on the moon)
No hot water, no toilets, no lights.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
I wonder why he's uppi' me?
('cause Whitey's on the moon?)
I wuz already payin' 'im fifty a week.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Taxes takin' my whole damn check,
Junkies makin' me a nervous wreck,
The price of food is goin' up,
An' as if all that **** wuzn't enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face an' arm began to swell.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Was all that money I made las' year
(for Whitey on the moon?)
How come there ain't no money here?
(Hmm! Whitey's on the moon)
Y'know I jus' 'bout had my fill
(of Whitey on the moon)
I think I'll sen' these doctor bills,
Airmail special

Just reading thru this thread.

It does look like you guys identified the horse movie: Spirit, and agree that the white people and army are protray uniformly evil while the Indians are protrayed uniformly nobel and good.

You also found the jibe at America from Nemo, and identifed the space-out turtle as the drugged-out hippie.

But, you say, these films have nothing to do with Disney. Really?

[chequita guevara]

I still don't get the jibe at America from Finding Nemo. Spaced out turtle is not, like, a durgged out hippie, dude. He's like, a surfer, dude. That's the way sufers talk, dude.

BTW, Ned, have you ever looked at how American Indians viewed the white invasion?

[Ned]

What offended me most about these films is that I did not expect to be assualted with leftist propaganda, racism and glorification of drugs at a kids movie. I expect it from MTV and the degenerate, left-loving, Hollywood; but not from anything with a Disney label on it.

[chequita guevara]

Glorification of drugs? Leftist propaganda? Racism? Did you watch the same movie I watched?

Note: never saw Spirit that it looked dumb.

[Japher]

Whether or not it's Disney, and Disney does do those things, I can agree that cartoons have become way too keyed towards adults, even if they are marketed towards kids.

Even "The Cat and The Hat" was not something I would allow my kid to see until he/she would be at least 12, and even then....

Of course he did not see the same movie you saw: he saw it at the Nedaverse multiplex.

Perhaps, Che, I have lived longer in California than you have. That turtle was the epitome of the pot-smoking, droopie-eyed, Californian who may or may not like to surf.

As to what the Indians think of a so-called white invasion, I don't have to guess too hard. There were relatively few periods of peaceful coexistence for 300+ years until we convinced the Indians to live on reservations, subsidized by the government. There was ample hate on both sides of that particular equation.

I likewise couldn't give a crap about Bush perse except that my beef is with IMO obvious media bias.
