Little Green Footballs has an audio recording of Frank Miller’s newest commentary on NPR (Hat tip: Hot Air)….

Ditto the contempt for NPR. I used to be an avid NPR listener / contributor, even though I was considerably more conservative than the typical NPR fan (it was mostly due to Prarie Home Companion). I bailed on them when they crossed the line into full Bush Derangement Syndrome sometime in 2003. Actually, I had the same relationship with Salon.com (and the same break-point) due to the always-intersting Camille Paglia.

As Arsenio Hall once said,”Things that make you go hmmmmm.”

Not many people saw this when I posted it a few days ago. Or, maybe, just didn’t care. LGF now has just the cut of Miller’s brief appearance on NPR. Worth a listen. Also a good column from Andrew Klavan……

i don’t think miller will be losing any fans worth having. he has gained an opportunity to culturally lead a culturally naive group somewhere productive too.

Amen. Another Miller I credit with this is Dennis Miller. Shortly after Bush took office, well before 9/11, he asked on his HBO show, “so, what do you all think of the new president?”, waited for murmurs from the crowd, then proceeded to make the most un-sarcastic, sincere statement of praise I’d ever heard from the guy. I remember being shocked. Because it was so…unexpected! Unexpected not only from comedians, but from the entire ‘hip’ news establishment: I hadn’t heard a single lead story during the entire 18-month lead-up to the 2000 election with even one positive thing to say about the man.

Miller gave his audience a glimpse (for some, their first ;-) of the president as something other than a 24/7 cancer on the nation, making it possible to understand and trust his decision-making later on (after 9/11). Though I don’t always agree with those decisions – who does, after all – at least I no longer have to assume they’re spawned by Satan, which is what you would conclude by listening to the grunts and veiled comments on NPR from mid-1998 to the present day.

our enemies were not created by the peccadilloes of free people and will not melt away before a moral perfection that we, in any case, can never achieve.

– yet this is the very standard the insane left holds the US to, while demanding nothing but another excuse from the violent thugs who would expunge us at the earliest opportunity!

Happily so, though. Good on these two.

//d’oh!

It’ll change. Money doesn’t talk. It screams.

Hollyweird is going to BLAST it.

I’m looking forward to “The 300″ this March, but I’ve only been to one movie in the past three years, and that was “Cars”. There’s just nothing worth going to see anymore.

It’s a shame for so powerful an art form to become irrelevant because we can’t find a way to dramatize the central event of our time.

How true. The cinema has not been an art form in a long time, it’s nothing more than eye candy. Most of the movies Hollywood produces are little more than Playboy channel meets Tales of the Crypt.
