The USA Divided: America after Trump

For a new world that starts on December 22, 2012 (the old one not being destroyed in a blast of superstition and wacky non-science)!  

  Posted by Jesse Lee (The White House) on January 19, 2011 at 06:10 AM EST Today, Republicans in the House of Representatives are voting on a bill to repeal the new freedoms, control over health care decisions, and cost savings the health care law---the Affordable Care Act---provides the American people. As Secretary Geithner noted this morning , repeal would be bad for business and bad for the economy. Repealing the Affordable Care Act would also have a significant effect on families’ bank accounts. Stephanie Cutter, an Assistant to the President who has been working on implementing the health reform law, takes to the White House White Board to explain what repealing it would mean for family premium costs and American jobs:   Technorati Tags: White House , health care , health care repeal , Republicans , republican agenda

Russian animator Konstantin Bronzit, the director of the brilliant hand-drawn 10-minute cartoon 'Lavatory-Lovestory' is nominated for an Oscar Award for the Best Animated Short Film. I used to correspond with Konstantin back in the 1980’s while he was still working for USSR animation studios. I’m glad to see that he is a director at Melnitsa Studios in St. Petersburg now.

Monty Python has created it’s own YouTube channel with high quality clips from their television shows and film. Here’s a clip from “The Life Of Brian,” probably the funniest film ever made. The channel is here: Monty Python YouTube

Click on image to see entire video This dumb-ass seems to be getting around on the video sites. Nothing could be better for this piece of shit. In the video, this fool is happy to display his “Obama Monkey” to someone with a home video cam (I guess this dimwit never heard of video sharing sites) but as soon as he noticed national news zeroing in on him, he ditched the doll to some child. How generous of him. These are the people Rep. John Murtha was referring to and Gov. Rendell claims “there’s only a few of”.

Misinformation is higher education in the USA How can so many Americans be so stupid and uninformed? The guy at the end is right to be frightened of the violent possibilities of these people. They are capable of anything but intelligent thought!

See you on the dark side of the moon... Richard Wright, founding member, vocalist, and keyboardist of the rock group Pink Floyd, has died. He was 65. Wright met Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason in college and joined their early band, Sigma 6. Along with the late Syd Barrett, the four formed Pink Floyd in 1965.

Watch more cool animation and creative cartoons at aniBoom \ I've been playing with an animation software called "Creatoon." The program simulates cut-out style animation. It has some odd quirks but is really simple (which I like very much). This test was done to work out some movement problems I was having. Sometimes elements of characters would drift in directions I didn't intend. I think I've figured out that headache. This program is now free to download at Creatoon since it is no longer being developed. Many professional television programs around the world were produced using this software. It would be nice if the company would release the code so it could be further developed. A way to lip sync would be great. Sound files can be imported for use while animating but the sound can only be " scrubbed ."

At the Cleveland house where Superman was born in the mind of Jerry Siegel, "The Book Of Lies" author Brad Meltzer wants watchers to find their inner Supermen and help preserve the structure for posterity. More information can be found at Ordinary People Change The World.  

Congressman Kucinich shows the energy needed to not only wake up America but the Democratic Party. A serious mistake the Dems are making is trying to be too civil to Sen. John McCain. Stop prefacing every thing with what a "good friend" he is and 'how great a man he is." Why should anyone not vote for him if even his opponents are kneeling down before him? This is politics, Democrats. Stop being wimps and start beating the Republicans back into the hole they belong.
