BOYNE CITY, MI -- A specialized boat in Boyne City is making it possible for the disabled, even the paralyzed, to sail the waters of the Great Lakes.
By a breath of air, or by inhaling, a paraplegic can completely control this sailboat, appropriately named "Challenge."
Challenge Mountain funded this $25,000 special needs boat thanks to several donations and anyone with any type of disability can control it by a simple joystick or a breath.
"It's a little different, we want to teach sailing, it's not just a matter of going out and having fun, we want to teach somebody how to sail a boat, and hopefully they'll be able to take it out, it won't cost them anything, and they can enjoy life a little better," said Challenge Mountain Program Director Mike Hurchick.
Cedarville Boat Building School donated the boat, the Char-Em United Way paid for the machines, and Quantum Sails donated a new set of sails.
Challenge Mountain has been working on getting the boat for four years.
They also have a winter skiing program.

text: Welcome to this review of the Visalus Body by Vi Health Challenge and income opportunity. First of all, full disclosure, I recently joined Visalus as a rep after studying it for quite awhile. I couldn't help but pay attention because Visalus is one of the hottest network marketing opportunities on the planet. I mean just look at what happened last month in September 2011. Over 81,000 people joined Visalus as a customer and/or as a promoter. Over 755 new people qualified for a free BMW. Over 30 people earned bonus checks of over $25,000. So there is quite a bit of momentum happening here, and a lot of people are making money, more so it seems than in most opportunities. So who or what is Visalus? We will look at the company, products, and opportunity. And maybe then we will understand why this company is experiencing such explosive growth. Visalus Sciences was founded by the relatively young trio of Ryan Blair, Blake Mallen and Nick Sarnicola back in 2005. The company is headquartered in Troy, Michigan. The founders were astute enough to put a strong, seasoned management team together led by President and COO John Purdy. In 2008 the company assured itself of strong financial footing by partnering with the global, multi-billion company Blyth Inc. that has over 30 years of experience in the direct sales industry. The name Visalus literally means Life, Health and Prosperity. These three words pretty much sum up the mission of the company. Visalus is a health transformation company committed to helping people live healthier, more vibrant lives. They are also committed to the success and prosperity of their direct sales force. This sales force markets a line of patented nutritional and nutraceutical products based on solid clinical and scientific research. Visalus takes the Sciences part of their name very seriously. The company has a Scientific Advisory Board led by renowned experts in food science, nutrition, and anti-aging such as Dr. Michael Seldman and Dr. Steven Witherly. The company looks to offer the safest, highest quality, cutting-edge health and wellness products, that are not only highly effective, but taste good as well. Because lets face it, if it doesn't taste good, most people won't eat or drink it. Touted as the "Shake Mix that tastes like a cake mix", I would say the flag-ship product of the lot is the Vi- Shape Nutritional Shake Mix. This is the product that the 90 day Challenge is built around. This meal-replacement shake mix is said to provide more protein, fiber, calcium, vitamins and minerals than most breakfasts, but with a lot less sugar, fat, and carbohydrates. The cream flavored Shake Mix is supplemented by a variety of Shape-up Health Flavor Mix-Ins, namely Strawberry, Banana, Peace, Orange, and Chocolate. Each of the Mix-Ins has an unique health and nutritional benefit. But more important to some than taste is results. Testimonials run the gamut from significant weight loss to increased energy,lower blood sugar, lower blood pressure, and lower cholesterol. The product that the company led out with initially was the Vi-Pak. The Vi-Pak is an impressive collection of vitamins, minerals, oils, and anti-oxidants that support anti-aging, endurance and performance enhancement, immune system enhancement, stress defense, a healthy range of motion, and healthy hair, skin, and nails. Visalus also offers an Energy drink called Neuro that provides a quick burst of energy without the sugar and caffiene found in your traditional energy drinks. Visalus also has products to boost your metabolism and help control your appetite and hunger. Due to the quality and affordability of these products, Visalus is one of a few direct sales companies that have many, many customers who are not distributors or reps. Another reason for happy customers is that these customers can get their products for free, without becoming distributors, by simply referring the products to three of their friends. But for those who want to create an income, the sky is the limit with Visalus. The Visalus compensation plan details eight ways that the company will pay you. At the heart of the plan is a compressed uni-level commission structure that has one of the highest commissionable payouts in the direct sales industry. The company pays fast start bonuses for everyone you enroll with an Executive Success System or higher. There a rank bonuses and leadership bonuses. There is also a Rising Star bonus that you can only achieve in your first 30 days with the company, that will pay out in benefits literally forever. I really can't do the compensation plan justice here, so I suggest that you check it out for yourself. One thing I found exciting though has to be the free BMW incentive program. You can win a free BMW for life by achieving and maintaining the rank of Regional Director, which is just the third achieveable rank in the company. Most companies tend to put their car program at the back of the plan, instead of up front. So that by the time you qualify for a car in their programs, you can afford to buy a couple of them yourself. There is a catch with this program though. The BMW has to be black! That's it, once you qualify, Visalus will give you $600 a month towards the purchase or lease of a black BMW! Or if you don't want the car, Visalus will cut you a check for $300 every month, your choice. But no matter how good the products are, or how good the compensation plan is, whether or not you succeed with Visalus is almost totally up to you. Your willingness to work, to be coachable and teachable, and maybe most importantly, to endure will all be key to your success. Visalus does provide its reps with more tools and training than a lot of companies that I have seen. The Vi-Net marketing platform and online community provides you a wealth of resources for building your business, including training, on-line and off-line marketing materials, communication tools, and Web 2.0 integration with social networking sites, just to name a few. There are training events all over the country that you can attend as well. Another key to success with Visalus, or network marketing in general, is finding people to share the opportunity with. We all have a limited number of people that we know personally, and it may surprise you to know that a lot of them will not be interested in working towards their financial freedom or earning a free BMW. So you may need to learn how to attract the kind of people you want to work with to you. There are a number of automated marketing systems that can help teach you to market and to expand your circle of influence. Attraction marketing systems can teach you how to attract people who are interested in your opportunity, so that you don't have to waste time on those who aren't. The beauty of these systems is that people come to you, instead of you having to chase them. The beauty of Visalus is that so many people have found success with this company. It is so obviously not scam, not a fluke, nor is it a flash in the pan. So what that tells you is that you can make it with this company if you are willing to put in the work. There are many leaders in Visalus, myself included, who would love to work with you to help you achieve your goals. You can get more information about Visalus HERE. I hope that you enjoyed reading this Visalus Review.

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
May 25, 2012 Top 100 NHL Draft Prospects 51-60
by Corey Pronman
For a description of the methodology in these rankings, please see the Introduction. We'll be revealing more of the Top 100 every few days leading up to the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
Full list of Top 100 NHL Draft Prospects
51. Dillon Fournier, Defense, Rouyn-Noranda-QMJHL
Fournier is a pretty gifted defenseman who has a desirable upside but did have shoulder issues this yearhis offensive production was still pretty impressive. He is an above-average skater with nice overall mobility, good jump in first few steps, and a solid top speed. When it comes to his puck abilities, Fournier's technique is a lot like another QMJHL prospect, Brandon Gormley, in that he looks a little lanky when holding onto the puck but still exhibits soft hands, good one-touch ability, and moves the puck around effectively and efficiently. Fournier likes to do things offensively, but he sometimes will make some over risky decisions, be it when rushing up or doing too much with the puck. He is able to be somewhat effective defensively with his mobility and awareness, but physically he needs to bulk up a bit to show even a decent physical game. Also as a side note, when I watched Rouyn-Noranda, Fournier was lined up on his off wing, the right defense slot as a left-handed shot.
52. Jarrod Maidens, Center, Owen Sound-OHL
Maidens came into the year with a little bit of hype but he ended up playing a shortened season. He is not a flashy player who wows spectators with puck skills or skating but he does everything well and is what scouts have called a "classic underrated type". His best skill is his hockey sense, which is plus and translates into his offensive game through his positional play and great vision as well as his play in the defensive end. He regularly makes impressive feeds and will show high-end playmaking ability. Maidens' puck skills are decent and can flash a tick above that, so if he doesn't have the space to work with, I don't see him as the kind of player who will create that kind of working area for himself, but if you line him up on a power play from the sideboards, he can see all the options unfold. Maidens has a decent physical game as he protects the puck fine and plays the body, but he has a beanpole frame and needs to put on a lot of muscle. He also needs to work on his skating, as despite good mechanics, his speed is below average.
53. Phil Di Giuseppe, Left Wing, University of Michigan-CCHA
Di Giuseppe had a fine freshman season for the Wolverines and showed desirable traits as a toolsy physical scorer, but he still has some work to do. He's a solid skater with fine speed and impresses more in that regard with his balance in the cycle game, on top of having very good agility and edge work as he can be pretty elusive from a standstill. Di Giuseppe is very skilled with the puck, flashing plus ability in that regard. He's can dangle in open ice while being checked in tight and I've seen a few instances where he's made a couple of nice coordinated plays handling the puck from his knees. Di Giuseppe also has good technique on his passes and will regularly make above-average feeds. He does have good vision, but his hockey sense is his one major issue. Much too often, he rushes plays, overreacts to pressure, makes passes to nobody, and looks like he'll need a good number of years to iron out the kinks, although he does play decent defense. Di Giuseppe does a solid job attempting to be effective in the physical game, but he has a pretty skinny build and will need to put on a lot of muscle before his power game becomes something that can translate to the pro game.
54. Erik Karlsson, Left Wing, Frolunda- J20 SuperElit
This skilled forward bears a strikingly familiar name, but I can't place my finger on where I've heard it before. Oh well, if it was a hockey player, he probably wasn't anyone good. Karlsson is a solid skater, although arguably a grade above. He's a good all-around mover with impressive edge control, a fluid stride, easy power off his push offs, and he gets up to speed quickly. Karlsson is a pretty skilled player who creates a lot with the puck, regularly displaying above-average hands or better anytime the puck gets on his stick. His open ice moves seem to come effortlessly to him as while he has some flash to his game, his puck-handling also gives off the impression that he is in control. Karlsson knows where he needs to go in the offensive zone, sees the ice well, and doesn't seem to have a true hole in his offensive game. He also positions himself fine in his own end. He's a small guy, who needs a boat load of strength and probably will be replacement level at best physically at his peak even though he does attempt to at least engage himself in battles.
55. Jimmy Vesey, Left Wing, South Shore-EJHL
The son of former minor pro player Jim Vesey has scouts saying he has the same quality puck skills and hockey sense as his father, but not the replacement level skating that kept him out of the NHL. Vesey has a good possession skill base between his hands and playmaking skills. He has very desirable hockey instincts in terms of how he anticipates the play well off the puck and the way he sees lanes and plays develop when he has the puck. I'd say his puck skills are above average and may even flash a tick higher although he does showboat a bit with the puck here and there. Vesey's skating has improved somewhat from last year when he went undrafted, although I'd say it is still slightly below average. He's not a bad skater though, and he has a mechanically sound stride with decent power off his extensions, he just doesn't generate a good top speed. There are some concerns from the odd scout about his physical game and work ethic, but the majority of those I've heard from do not seem concerned with that aspect of his game. Vesey is a potential sleeper in the draft with legitimate scoring upside.
56. Dylan Blujus, Defense, Brampton-OHL
Blujus is a pretty intriguing prospect who has a fair amount of upside in a 6'3" frame but will take quite a few years of development. His best asset is his hockey sense as he is a true plus thinker who excels as a puck mover. He sees his options very well breaking out of his zone, threads bullet passes through tight lanes consistently, and he can be seen as the go-to quarterback on the power play to be the starting point on scoring chances. When you see that kind of puck-moving upside, production, and frame, the picture of what Blujus can become is pretty desirable. However, he has two main areas of concern. The first thing is that despite his size, Blujus is not physical at all, as he relies more on using his stick to break up plays and defend. He also needs to work on his mobility and foot speed, as he can be turned around by faster forwards. When moving regularly, he seems a bit uncoordinated as well, but that may partly be due to the fact he hasn't grown into his frame yet. Blujus has the potential to be a fine if not good defensive defender due to his size and sense, but if his physicality and skating don't improve, he may get exposed in that aspect of the game.
57. Dalton Thrower, Defense, Saskatoon-WHL
Thrower has been a prospect I've gotten mixed reviews on, and personally I haven't been too enthralled in viewings by him, but I have talked to a few scouts who think pretty highly of him. He's an above-average skater who has pretty good agility, edge work, and four-way mobility. Thrower isn't a speedster, but can join the rush fine if he needs to. He's a smart player who makes a good first pass, can get things done on the power play with his solid puck skills and good instincts, and rarely forces bad plays. Thrower regularly gets described by industry sources as "tough as nails", "very hard to play against", and "very physical", so it should be no surprise that despite a 5'11" frame, I think Thrower should be able to be at least average in the physical game for a defenseman even at the highest level. Thrower is an effective defender who can break up plays with a good stick, closes gaps quite effectively, and displays fine strength during his battles. He's not a wow prospect in any regard, but he does a lot of solid things.
58. Cristoval Nieves, Center, Kent-US High School
Nieves is a plus skater whose ability to move on the ice gets described within the industry by scouts as "explosive" and "sublime". He has tremendous acceleration that sees him rocket off after his first few steps with seemingly no effort behind his steps. Nieves' top speed isn't at the same level as his acceleration but is still very dangerous as he projects as the kind of forward who will always have defensemen on their toes when he's coming down on the rush. He's also a pretty gifted technical skater with a good stride which shows possible indication of taking his speed to a notch higher with more leg strength as well as good overall footwork in tight spaces and moving laterally. His puck skills are solid to above-average and can flash beyond that, but over the long-term basis he looks more of a "good, not great" type of player when it comes to his puck-handling ability. Nieves certainly does have some creativity and can make plays in open ice or off the half-wall, but I don't see the top-end hand-eye coordination to get to that next level. Nieves, known as "Boo" commonly, main knock is his physical game and his on-ice work ethic. His body still needs a ton of work, as he has a prototypical string bean frame and versus stronger opponents is easily knocked off his feet. However, he also really seems to lack the willingness to engage and show consistent hustle. His overall hockey sense is decent, as he will flash a creative move or nice seeing-eye pass offensively, or show good anticipation and positioning on defense, but then there will be several instances of getting way too cute with the puck and forcing bad plays. There certainly is projection in that area and it could just be a "high-school" thing, but it's worth noting the highs and lows of his game processing.
59. Tomas Hyka, Right Wing, Gatineau-QMJHL
Hyka has an interesting story attached to him. He went undrafted last year, but the Flyers liked him a lot and invited him to their camp this summer and wanted to sign him to a contract, but a CBA issue kept them from doing so. He's an above-average and arguably plus skater with tremendous speed and well above-average acceleration. Hyka has a light frame and he just soars through the neutral zone when he gets a couple of steps of momentum. He can push the pace in transition with his speed but also has the skill and sense to make plays. Hyka is a good thinker as he has the vision to create for his team mates; he can make passes through tight lanes and also has a solid pair of hands to create offense in open ice. He has an admirable work ethic too, as he will get in on the forecheck to pressure opponents and hustle back to cover his assignment. His one major area of concern is his physical game. He's so small and weak physically that he can be brushed off the puck with a single push and had a hard time planting himself in the high percentage areas. I like his intangibles so, I think there's room for that concern to clear up if he works on his body a lot.
60. Denis Kamaev, Right Wing, Rouyn-Noranda-QMJHL
Kamaev had a fine first season in North America and is the kind of player who every time I saw him or talked to scouts about him, he generally gave a positive impression. He's an above-average skater who has a desirable top gear, is quick on his feet and picks up speed well, and has good technique on his lateral and standstill movements but his straight away extensions could be addressed in terms of technique/stride. Kamev is a pretty good puck possession forward, as he's a good puck handler who can makes plays with the puck well when holding it along the half wall or when coming up the ice with speed. He's also an above-average playmaker who has fine patience and vision who makes as many good plays that get the puck to teammates as he does individual moves. Kamaev is by no means a finished product, though, as he's a short, slight forward who doesn't really attack the physical areas and has a lot of work to do in that area. My notes aren't concise in this area, but he also seems just okay in terms of his defensive play, although when at the Under-18s, he looked better in his own end than earlier on in the season.

Hmmm... What next?
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Panic. Terror. Anger.
My mother just informed me she wouldn't cosign on a loan for me.
I get it - at a logical level. It makes sense. She avoids all responsibility this way. Smart.
But, then…what do I do?
My goal this year has been to "be inspired". I'm not sure how to turn this into inspiration. I just don't know what to do.
Any loan that I'll be able to get without a cosigner won't even scratch the surface of my loans.
In short, I'm screwed.
But, on Monday I WILL call Financial Aid.
I WILL continue on the journey towards the future I want for myself.
And, I WON'T be stuck here in this dead end town forever.
I. Will. Not.

One of the biggest obstacles for card players is finding other players who enjoy our "favorite" game; you know… the game we played with family in our youth, or all night with our college roommates, or with friends in another city. This meetup is the perfect place to connect …

A Surrey principal has been named one of the top principals in Canada for 2013.
Strawberry Hill Elementary's Raminder Randhawa recently learned he was selected as one of the top 51 educators in the country for 2013 Canada's Outstanding Principals, an annual program put on by The Learning Partnership, a national education advocacy group.
Randhawa, who was nominated by his staff prior to Christmas, said the selection reflects more on his school than on him as an individual.
"As you know, schools are places where teams of teachers and educators work very hard to help kids learn, help them make it in life and I am just sort of a cheerleader in the back who supports these teams of educators," he said.
"The selection is a tribute to the people I work with because a principal is just one part of a school of teachers that work very, very hard and I am just proud to be part of that team.
"I'm honoured, and at the same time, humbled by the selection."
For being selected, Randhawa will join the other winners from across Canada in Toronto later this month for a gala awards dinner.
The principals will also participate in a special training program during their trip, a leadership program from the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management.
"There will be a whole bunch of workshops and further opportunities to see where one can cheerlead and support other educators," said Randhawa.
The win comes in Randhawa's second year at the helm of Strawberry Hill Elementary and prior to his current stint, he was principal at Cougar Creek Elementary for five years.
According to Akela Peoples, president and CEO of The Learning Partnership, the yearly awards are a chance for leaders in education to get the recognition they deserve.
"Behind every great school is a great principal who is not only an outstanding educator, but an excellent manager and leader," said Peoples.
"We are thrilled to be recognizing these individuals as examples of excellence in public education."
But while Randhawa is grateful for the recognition, he reiterates that it's not his award alone.
"I honestly feel it is a tribute to the team I work with and really important to honour their work," he said.
"As the systems are set up it's only one person that gets recognized, but I cannot overemphasize the fact that the parents, teachers and the various professionals that work with the schools is part of this. It's all a collaboration."

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Alleged school threats are being investigated by the Colorado Springs Police Department.
The alleged threats were made by an individual and were reported by a third party, police said.
According to police, the threat referred to the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., but did not mention any specific school in Colorado Springs.
Information about the alleged threat was immediately dispersed to school security officers.
Police said a flyer was being distributed about the alleged threat without authorization.
'It is important to note that any threat received by police is taken seriously," police said.
Not enough information was available to sunstantiate the claim but police said an investigation is ongoing.

Madonna Movies
Possessing one of the most distinctive voices in pop music and one of the most distressing résumés on the big screen, Madonna has proven that whatever the role -- screwball seductress, martyred Argentinian first lady, embittered single mom-cum-yoga instructrix -- her abilities as a performer will manage to undermine any production whose credits bear her name. Like Elvis before her, Madonna has proven that no matter how sterling a pop reputation an artist may have, success on the Billboard Top 100 does not translate into similar plaudits at the box office.
Born Madonna Ciccone in Bay City, MI, in 1958, Madonna was raised in a strict Roman Catholic household. She attended the University of Michigan as a dance student for a brief period before dropping out to move to New York City in 1977. There, she quickly became a habitué of various downtown gay discos; spurred on by her dance teacher and her deejay pals, she embarked on a singing career. Before releasing her debut album, however, she made a debut of another kind in an all-but-forgotten, micro-budgeted date-rape melodrama entitled A Certain Sacrifice (1979). In an omen of things to come, Madonna later tried to halt the theatrical release of the film after her musical career took off.
The artist's proper screen debut came courtesy of Susan Seidelman's Desperately Seeking Susan. The 1985 release featured Madonna in a supporting role as a funky girl/object of desire around which the film's screwball plot revolved. Her rising star helped to make
a minor hit; aided by Seidelman, she was able to capitalize on her effervescent comic charm and her kooky, uber-Soho, Material Girl persona.
Unfortunately, Madonna's relationship with volatile young actor Sean Penn led her to accept a role opposite him, both in real life as well as onscreen in Shanghai Surprise (1986). The retro-styled, George Harrison-produced debacle endured a brief and mercilessly lambasted life at the box office; Madonna's marriage to Penn didn't last much longer. Next up for the indefatigable entertainer was Who's That Girl? (1987), a stillborn, flimsy imitation of the Melanie Griffith/Jeff Daniels vehicle Something Wild, released just one year prior. Notable only for its hit title track, the ostensible homage to Howard Hawks starred a pained Griffin Dunne opposite a bubbly, impetuous Madonna, apparently performing in the style of her semi-controversial "Open Your Heart" video. Needless to say, their chemistry did little to ignite box-office fireworks.
Madonna's next vehicle was undoubtedly her most high profile to date; cast opposite Warren Beatty in Dick Tracy (1990), she received lavish amounts of pre-film hype, particularly as she was involved at the time with long-in-the-tooth, alpha-stud Beatty. However, the much-anticipated feature failed to make good on the promise that surrounded its production, and Madonna herself came away with only a few choice Steven Sondheim production numbers to her credit. However, the "inspired by the motion picture" soundtrack album did help spark one of the singer's most enduring
cause celebres
-- "voguing."
It took director Alex Keshishian to (literally) strip some of the veneer from the Madonna mystique with his tell-all documentary Truth or Dare the following year. The feature's risqué subject matter -- including the songstress' unabashed fellating of an Evian bottle -- created a ratings stink with the MPAA and revealed some previously unexposed dimensions of Madonna's relationship with Beatty, such as his incessant ridicule of her.
Madonna next courted the best reviews of her film career to date playing a feisty baseball player in the 1992 A League of Their Own, in which she starred amongst a talented ensemble cast that included Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, and offscreen gal-pal Rosie O'Donnell. Those favorable reviews were soon overshadowed, however, by the maelstrom of negative publicity just a few months later, when she formed a troika of artistic shame with her starring role in the pseudo-S&M thriller Body of Evidence (1993), her show-and-tell photo book Sex, and her subpar dance album Erotica.
Madonna kept a relatively low profile during the next three years, popping up occasionally for cameos in Blue in the Face and Four Rooms as well as a leading part in Abel Ferrera's barely-released Dangerous Game, co-starring Harvey Keitel. Instead, she spent much of her free time hounding director Alan Parker to cast her in the title role of the long-gestating film version of Andrew Lloyd Weber's Evita. Madonna's efforts eventually paid off when she won the part in the Christmas 1996 release; although critics responded with mixed opinions, the singer/actress managed to garner a Golden Globe for her performance.
Just when it seemed the actress had written off Hollywood for good, fate came calling in the form of boy-toy gal pal Rupert Everett and his script idea titled The Next Best Thing. Billed as a romantic comedy, the John Schlesinger-helmed vehicle was in actuality an uneasy melange of The Object of My Affection, My Best Friend's Wedding, and, improbably, Kramer vs. Kramer. Critics responded to the film with primal screams of derision, many of which were aimed at Madonna's balsa wood-inspired and deeply schizophrenic performance. Around this time, insult was indeed added to injury when, in early 2000, the erstwhile thespian was dubbed the Worst Actress of the Century at the Razzie Awards, beating out such notables as Bo Derek, Pia Zadora, and Elizabeth Berkley.
The stage was set for another of the actress' many career reinventions, and it seemed as though she might do just that with her marriage to film director
Guy Ritchie
, the father of her second child, Rocco. Though she had not yet appeared in one of the Brit's testosterone-laden heist films (including 1998's Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and 2000's Snatch) she did play a starring role in their lavish Scottish Highlands' nuptials in December of 2000.
It wouldn't be long before Madonna collaborated artistically with her new beau. Subscribing to the age-old Hollywood dictum that a couple can't truly be in love without an accompanying vanity project, the Material Girl and Ritchie dusted off Italian director Lina Wertmuller's 1974 post-feminist chestnut Swept Away... By an Unusual Destiny in the Blue Sea of August for a lavish remake, albeit one without the original film's rape scene and communist subtext. Though many reviewers pointed out Madonna's natural adeptness at portraying a spoiled, shrewish heiress who engages in dominant/submissive sex games with a lusty Italian seaman, they were less convinced of the positive emotional "transformation" her character underwent over the course of the film. True to form, audiences avoided Swept Away like the plague, as it struggled to crack seven digits at the box office, making it one of the least-profitable films of 2002. In March of 2003, the Razzie Awards responded in kind, showering Swept Away and its star with 5 wins including Worst Picture of the year. Unfortunately, Madonna had to share her award for Worst Actress with her acolyte, another pop star trying to segue into film, Britney Spears.
Madonna would continue to work in film, making her directorial debut 2008 with the indie film Filth and Wisdom and following this up with the period biopic W.E. in 2012. ~ Phineas Topollino, Rovi

A Certain Sacrifice
In this extremely low-budget drama, a young transient finds her rapist, and with the help of her new boy friend, takes him underneath the Brooklyn Bridge and enacts a strange ritual sacrifice with his body. The film is most notorious for being the film debut of Madonna who was only 19-years-old and is said to have earned only $100 for her effort. Later, she tried to sue to keep the film from being released on video (it never did make it to theaters). Unfortunately for her, she lost the battle. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

The All-American Girls' Professional Baseball League was founded in 1943, when most of the men of baseball-playing age were far away in Europe and Asia fighting World War II. The league flourished until after World War II, when, with the men's return, the league was consigned to oblivion. Director Penny Marshall and screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel re-create the wartime era when women's baseball looked to stand a good chance of sweeping the country. The story begins as a candy-bar tycoon enlists agents to scour the country to find women who could play ball. In the backwoods of Oregon, two sisters -- Dottie (Geena Davis) and Kit (Lori Petty) -- are discovered. Dottie can hit and catch, while Kit can throw a mean fastball. The girls come to Chicago to try out for the team with other prospects that include their soon-to-be-teammates Mae Mordabito (Madonna), Doris Murphy (Rosie O'Donnell), and Marla Hooch (Megan Cavanagh). The team's owner, Walter Harvey (Gary Marshall) needs someone to coach his team and he picks one-time home-run champion Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks), who is now a broken-down alcoholic. After a few weeks of training, as Dugan sobers up, the team begins to show some promise. By the end of the season, the team has improved to the point where they are competing in the World Series (which is no big deal, since there are only four teams in the league). ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

A teen learns that all the gadgets in the world can't help him overcome his awkwardness around the opposite sex in this big-budget family entertainment. In Agent Cody Banks, Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz plays a young man plucked from suburban obscurity to be trained as a CIA super-agent. His mission? Get friendly with his classmate Natalie (played by another teen TV star, Lizzie McGuire's Hilary Duff) so that he can uncover her father's diabolical scheme to create indestructible robots. To compound his problems, Cody also has to deal with the same stresses as any adolescent: nagging parents, insufferable classwork, and a fragile sense of self-esteem. Agent Cody Banks was produced by MGM, not coincidentally the studio responsible for another popular spy franchise, the venerable James Bond series. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Fifteen-year-old CIA operative Cody Banks (played by Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz) is back in action in this comedy adventure, which sends the youthful secret agent to Old Blighty. Banks returns to Kamp Woody, the CIA training center disguised as a summer camp, where he's given a new partner, the bumbling but sharp-witted Derek (Anthony Anderson), and a new assignment, to track down a sinister double-agent who has made off with an experimental mind-control machine. The villain has made his way to Great Britain, so Banks is enrolled in an upscale private school in England, where he's forced to join the school band despite his lack of musical talent and finds himself working alongside Emily (Hannah Spearritt), a fellow teenage espionage agent. Keith David, Daniel Roebuck, and Cynthia Stevenson all return from the first film, while British filmmaker Kevin Allen takes over as director. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

On the heels of his first foray into romantic comedy, versatile French filmmaker Luc Besson breaks new ground yet again with this computer-animated, family-friendly adaptation of his own children's book Arthur and the Minimoys. Arthur is a wide-eyed ten-year-old whose vivid imagination is fueled by the colorful bedtime stories his grandmother reads to him each night. His dreams are filled with images of African tribes and the remarkable inventions detailed in the enigmatic book that his grandfather left behind after mysteriously disappearing four years ago. Arthur and his family are in danger of losing their home to an unscrupulous real-estate developer, but if there is any truth to the tales of a treasure hidden deep beneath their garden and the tiny, fairy-like creatures that his grandmother so frequently sketches, there may still be hope of saving their home before it's too late. Now, with nothing to guide him but the clues left behind by his grandfather, Arthur will set out to find the mythical world of Seven Kingdoms, where the Minimoys are said to dwell, and ensure that his troubled family always has a place to call home. An imaginative children's fantasy in the vein of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, Arthur and the Invisibles features the voices of David Bowie, Snoop Dogg, Madonna, Mia Farrow, and Freddie Highmore. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Produced for theatrical released by PBS' American Playhouse, Bloodhounds of Broadway is not exactly a remake of the 1952 film of the same name, though both pictures use the same Damon Runyon stories as inspiration. The scene is Broadway: the time is New Year's Eve, 1928. Madonna plays small town girl-turned-hoofer Hortense Hathaway, who loves gambler Feet Samuels (Randy Quaid) more than somewhat. Since it is known far and wide that Feet has not a penny to his name, he must find some way to pay off his debts in a hurry. So he offers to sell his huge feet to a demented-an operation which will, alas, cost Feet the use of his life. Upon waking up to the fact that Hortense loves him, Feet decides that he prefers breathing to pushing up daisies. Meanwhile, a society doll named Harriet MacKyle (Julie Hagerty) turns on the spigots when her pet parrot is laid low by a clumsy gunman. And while all this is transpiring, high-roller Regret (Matt Dillon) has to beat a murder rap. Even while Regret is sweating it out, "The Brain" (Rutger Hauer), who is bleeding profusely after confronting the business end of a shiv, searches high and low for someone willing to donate blood to save his life. If you can, keep an eye out for author William Burroughs as a butler. Bloodhounds of Broadway was the first non-documentary effort of filmmaker Howard Brookner-and the last, since he died before the film was released. To gloss over the film's plot holes, the distributors added a Winchell-like narrator to the proceedings, courtesy of actor Joseph Sommer. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Director Wayne Wang and screenwriter Paul Auster had enough storylines and characters left over from their charming comedy Smoke to make another film, so they shot Blue In The Face immediately after Smoke was completed. The film once again centers on the Brooklyn Cigar Store and manager Auggie (Harvey Keitel), although most of the other characters are different. The store owner's frustrated wife Dot (Roseanne) is one of them, and one of the plotlines follows her attempts to seduce Auggie. Madonna, Michael J. Fox, Lily Tomlin, and Lou Reed (as himself) also put in appearances. Blue In The Face was shot without a complete script and presents a unique combination of distinctive performances, oddball characters, improvisations, and raffish scenes. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

Madonna plays Rebecca Carlson, a sex bomb who parades naked in front of the open windows of her houseboat at all hours while the lobstermen catch crabs. This entry in the Basic Instinct sweepstakes poses the question: If love hurts, does sex kill? The judge and jury certainly want to find out when Rebecca's latest conquest, a multi-millionaire, dies of a heart attack while making love to her. Eight million dollars was bequeathed to Rebecca in his will, and District Attorney Robert Garrett (Joe Mantegna) is convinced that Rebecca, knowing that her rich lover had a weak heart, killed him with wild sex so that she could get her mitts on the money. Rebecca's lawyer, Frank Dulaney (Willem Dafoe), thinks differently, suspecting the millionaire's private secretary Joanne Braslow (Anne Archer) of the crime, since she was dumped by the millionaire for Rebecca. Besides which, Frank is attracted to Rebecca himself and throws legal ethics out the window as he starts a sadomasochistic affair with her. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Dangerous Game
Celebrated indie filmmaker Eddie Israel (Harvey Keitel) heads to California to shoot his latest movie, Mother of Mirrors, an examination of a marriage in which the wife pressures her husband to abandon their formerly mutual sex-and-drugs lifestyle and seek the same kind of religious conversion she has experienced. Leaving behind his own wife Madlyn (Nancy Ferrara) and his young son, Eddie explains the impetus of his latest project in a series of behind-the-scenes interviews. Meanwhile, Sarah Jennings (Madonna), a TV actress, has taken the wife role in Eddie's film, and her first item of business on the set is to sleep with Francis Burns (James Russo), who is set to play her husband. Things go sour between the two players and their conflicts spill onto the set, adding even more tension to a shoot in which Eddie alternately bullies and cajoles his actors to elicit more authentic performances. Perhaps Eddie manipulates Sarah onscreen because he's ashamed of having bedded his "very L.A." star just minutes before his wife and son arrived early for a weekend visit. Eddie soon finds the existential dilemmas of his film seeping into his own life, forcing him to question the compulsive adultery he practices. One of the first movies overseen by the film arm of Maverick, the record label and media company Madonna founded in the early '90s, Dangerous Game was produced by the singer's longtime manager, Freddy de Mann, alongside Mary E. Kane, who produced several earlier Ferrara efforts. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

A petite New Jersey housewife finds self-fulfillment through amnesia in this new wave comedy of errors set in New York's hip '80s downtown scene. Rosanna Arquette stars as Roberta, who turns to the personals for vicarious thrills after her four-year marriage to staid hot tub salesman Gary (Mark Blum) grows stale. Her favorite classified ads trace the romance of Jim (Robert Joy), a struggling musician, and Susan (Madonna), a SoHo vamp who's just narrowly escaped being murdered alongside one of her other boyfriends -- a gangster who recently stole some Egyptian jewelry. Through a series of complicated missteps, Roberta ends up losing her memory and convincing both herself and a broodingly handsome young man named Dez (Aiden Quinn) that she's the elusive, adventurous Susan. Soon, Roberta finds herself being romanced by Dez and pursued separately by her husband, Jim, Susan, and by a murderous mobster who's looking for the stolen jewels. For her second feature outing, which was partially inspired by Jacques Rivette's Celine and Julie Go Boating, director Susan Seidelman filled her cast with hipster extras, downtown personalities, and New York thespians. Notable faces include comedian Steven Wright; future indie mainstay John Turturro; future TV stars Michael Badalucco and Laurie Metcalf; punk singer Richard Hell, who also starred in Seidelman's Smithereens; and performance artist Ann Magnunson, who would star in the director's Making Mr. Right. The big dance-club sequence was filmed at Danceteria, the disco that helped launch Madonna's career. The scene, and the film, helped propel "Into the Groove," one of the singer's all-time club classics, into the charts even though it was actually a b-side to the single "Angel." ~ Brian J.

Warren Beatty directed and starred in this big-budget action comedy featuring Chester Gould's square-jawed, two-dimensional comic strip detective. Ruthless gangster Big Boy Caprice (Al Pacino) touches off a gang war against underworld boss Lips Manlis (Paul Sorvino), with Big Boy and his minions rubbing out enough of Manlis's goons (along with Manlis himself) to take over his nightclub, and a healthy percentage of the city's criminal activities in the process. Caprice also gains proprietary rights to Manlis's girlfriend, nightclub chanteuse Breathless Mahoney (Madonna). Big Boy's next move to is unite the rest of the city's crooks under his command; this wave of corruption attracts the attention of lawman Dick Tracy, who is determined to smash Caprice's criminal network once and for all. As Tracy plots to put Big Boy behind bars where he belongs, Breathless uses her considerable charms in an attempt to sway Tracy from the path of righteousness; this causes no small amount of anxiety for Tracy's long-suffering female companion, Tess Trueheart (Glenne Headly), and the street-smart kid (Charlie Korsmo) they've been keeping an eye on. The various bad guys, heavily made up to resemble Gould's cartoon characters (though Beatty is not made up to resemble Tracy), include Dustin Hoffman, James Caan, R.G. Armstrong, and William Forsythe. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Pierce Brosnan makes his fourth appearance as suave super-spy James Bond in this espionage thriller, the 20th film in the official Bond series. While on assignment in North Korea, Bond is captured by government agents, where he's imprisoned and tortured for over a year. When Bond finally wins his freedom, not everyone is certain 007 is still capable of doing the job, but after Zao (Rick Yune), the North Korean operative who snared Bond, is discovered to be in cahoots with unscrupulous entrepreneur Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens), Bond is back on the case, and he finds the two men have sinister plans which could decide the fate of the world. As Bond hops from England to Cuba to Korea to Iceland in pursuit of his quarry, he (as usual) makes the acquaintance of two beautiful and mysterious women, Jinx (Halle Berry) and Miranda Frost (Rosamund Pike). Judi Dench and John Cleese return in Die Another Day as, respectively, Bond's superior M and gadget-master Q; Madonna contributes the film's theme song and makes a cameo appearance as a fencing instructor. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Add Evita to Queue
Add Evita to top of Queue
Evita is based on the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. Actually, the film is more of an opera, with only short moments devoted to dialogue. "Evita" is the friendly, family version of the proper name "Eva," and this film tells the story of Eva Peron (1921-52), a woman whose name evokes powerful feelings in her native Argentina. Throughout this film, as in the musical, the story is explained and commented on by a character known as "Che," played here by Antonio Banderas. The film begins with the news of Evita's death, and then turns to a much earlier scene at her father's funeral. Eva (Madonna) was an illegitimate child (one of many) of a rural landowner and her seamstress mother. Hers is not a wealthy childhood by any means, and she is constantly discriminated against because of her lowly birth. She is refused admission to her father's funeral for this reason. This scene is contrasted with her own funeral, a spectacular affair, not different from the funeral of a beloved head of state. Eva Peron leaves her village at age 15, in the arms her lover Agustin Magaldi (Jimmy Nail), a traveling singer. With his help, she goes to Buenos Aires and begins her campaign to become a performer, actress, and public figure. Many men help her during these years, and she is reported to have given her favors freely. That changes when she becomes involved with Juan Peron (Jonathan Pryce). In 1944, when they meet, Peron is an ambitious young army officer, serving in the right-wing government of the time. When he falls afoul of the government and is imprisoned, Eva uses her position as a celebrity and radio performer to get him released. Peron marries his feisty mistress when he is freed from prison. Eva is a formidable supporter, and her help is crucial to his later becoming head of state. Once Juan Peron becomes the President of Argentina, Eva expects better treatment from Argentina's high society, but they snub her brutally. She, in response, diverts government money from society-led charities, and starts the Eva Peron Foundation. As its president, she works tirelessly to directly better the lot of Argentina's poor. For this work, and for having risen from poor origins to glory, she is beloved by huge masses of her fellow citizens, if not by those in high society. She also arranges for the enfranchisement of women in Argentina. Thus, her death of uterine cancer at age 33, while she was at the height of her power and influence, strikes the whole world as tragic. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

After more than two decades as one of the world's most recognizable stars, Madonna steps behind the camera for the first time with this comedy drama about a handful of bohemians struggling to make a name for themselves in London, which she both wrote and directed. A.K. (Eugene Hutz) is a Ukrainian émigré and struggling musician who fronts a band blending gypsy music with punk rock. Still coming to terms with a childhood pock-marked by abuse, A.K. believes that one has to confront the seamy side of life to find enlightenment, and with this in mind he supports himself by torturing masochists for money while dressed in military gear. Living in the same decaying apartment block as A.K. is Holly (Holly Weston), a gifted dancer who dreams of becoming a ballet star, though now she's forced to degrade herself as a stripper at a "gentleman's nightclub." A.K. is enamored of Holly, but can't work up the nerve to make a move. Elsewhere in the building, Juliette (Vicky McClure) wants to help children in the Third World, but is biding her time working at a pharmacy, where she swipes medicine for charity when she isn't pocketing recreational material for herself, and Professor Flynn (Richard E. Grant) is a blind poet who is surrounded by a personal library of books he can no longer read. Filth and Wisdom also features several performances by Gogol Bordello, the band Eugene Hutz leads in real life; the film received its world premiere at the 2008 Berlin Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Four of the most celebrated directors in the independent film community pooled their talents for this episodic comedy. Ted (Tim Roth) is the new bellboy at a beautiful but decaying luxury hotel; he is not having a good time of it on New Year's Eve, his first night on the job. In one room, a coven of witches are trying to summon the spirit of the goddess Diana; each of the witches must bring a different bodily fluid for their spell to work, but Eva (Ione Skye), who was supposed to bring semen, managed to lose her supplies, and needs Ted's help for a last-minute replacement. Another room, where Ted was supposed to deliver some ice, turns out to house an angry husband (David Proval), who is holding his bound-and-gagged wife (Jennifer Beals) at gunpoint. A third room is taken by a tough-talking gangster (Antonio Banderas), his doormat wife (Tamlyn Tomita), and their two children; the gangster demands that Ted watch over the kids, who turn out to be mischievous terrors beyond Ted's wildest imagination. And room number four is where an arrogant film actor (Quentin Tarantino) is holding a party. One of his guests makes a bet that he can get a Zippo lighter to light ten times in a row, with his finger at stake if he loses. Allison Anders directed the first segment, which also featured Madonna, Valeria Golino, and Lili Taylor. The second segment was directed by Alexandre Rockwell, husband of his frequent leading lady Jennifer Beals. Robert Rodriguez directed the third story, while the finale was directed by its star, Quentin Tarantino; the final segment also features Bruce Willis, who appeared unbilled. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Spike Lee directed this comedy-drama about a woman who falls into a career in phone sex. An African-American woman (Theresa Randle) who aspires to a career as an actress endures a number of dispiriting jobs (handing out leaflets and working as a coat check girl) before reaching the end of her rope at an audition with Q.T. (Quentin Tarantino), a sleazy movie director. Q.T. claims that he wants to offer her a role in his next film -- but since the role requires nudity, she will have to show him her breasts first. After firing her agent, the actress is strapped for cash and is offered a job enacting sexual fantasies for men over the phone. Dubbed "Girl 6" by her employers, the actress is treated with respect by her boss (Jennifer Lewis) and is well-liked by her co-workers. However, she has a hard time emotionally distancing herself from her work, and she finds herself becoming infatuated with Bob (Peter Berg), one of her regular callers, going so far as to set up a meeting with him. As she deals in other people's fantasies for a living, Girl 6 begins retreating into her own world of make-believe, where she can be a sexy screen siren or a butt-kicking blaxploitation star. Meanwhile, her former fiancé (Isaiah Washington), who scrapes by as a shoplifter, desperately wants her to give him another chance, and her next door neighbor, a baseball card collector named Jimmy (Spike Lee), keeps pestering her that she ought to be doing something more positive with her life. Girl 6's supporting cast includes Madonna as one of Girl 6's supervisors, John Turturro as her agent, and Debi Mazar as one of the other phone-sex girls; the film also features an original song score by Prince. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In the African nation of Malawi, disease, poverty and famine have taken a horrible toll, especially on young people -- in a country of twelve million people, one million are orphaned children. In 2006, pop singer Madonna began studying the crisis in Malawi, and decided to use her wealth and celebrity to help; she helped finance the construction of a home for orphans, founded a relief organization called the Raising Malawi Orphan Care Initiative, and as a personal example she and her husband adopted a boy from Malawi, David Banda Mwale, whose mother had died. Now Madonna has written and produced I Am Because We Are, a documentary about Malawi that attempts to demonstrate at the need for action by profiling eight children growing up without parents; these youngsters long for a better life and strive to remain optimistic about the future despite the long odds fate has set against them. I Am Because We Are also features interviews with a number of people working to alleviate the ongoing tragedy in Malawi, including Bill Clinton, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Prof. Jeffrey D. Sachs, and leaders of a number of leading relief and charitable organizations. I Am Because We Are received its North American premiere at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Interview Sessions: Madonna
Can their be any sordid detail of the life of pop-star Madonna that we don't know about? Apparently, Music Video Distributors thought as much in 1991 when the company released Interview Sessions: Madonna. For 59 minutes, the Material Girl philosophizes about her life and work. She is at her best (and her most interesting) when discussing her music. Interview Sessions sheds very little new light on its subject, though it's an acceptable primer to those two or three people not familiar with Madonna. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Justify My Love music video broke new ground in 1990 by being banned from MTV for its overtly sexual visuals, despite Madonna's popularity and fame as a trendsetter. Indeed, the following decade brought forth a sexual progression on television, particularly in music videos, proving Justify My Love simply came ahead of its time. The video takes place in a hotel where Madonna acts out romantic fantasies with all kinds, from lesbians to sado-masochists, and is not recommended for viewing by children. ~ Sarah Sloboda, Rovi

In time, revenues will decrease and the left will be clueless as usual. They either don´t understand human nature, or delude themselves to think they can change it.
And the rubes will probably fall for it. Taxing the "rich" will raise about enough additional money to run the government for a day or so, do nothing to improve the deficit and peter out as the "rich" figure out ways around it.Eventually, one must hope, that even all the gullible Obamaphiles will snap and ask why this yahoo is still in campaign mode when the country is going to hell in a handcart.
Obama and the Senate are a bunch of fools. Raising taxes when the nation is in a recession only aggravates the recession.Four more years of this idiot.
Tax wealth, not income...and confiscate the houses of anyone who voted for Obama with more than two bedrooms.
Top down, bottom up, inside out. Ever the community activist.He tells them what is good for them; they then demand it of their representatives in Congress as though it was their idea.Alinsky. And more recently, Van Jones. Glenn Beck talked about it.Here is Van Jones´s 10 point Marxist manifesto that sounds like communism - and Obie´s campaign (and continuing) talking points. See if you don´t agree:http://www.sentryjournal.com/2012/04/12/anthony-k-van-jones-why-we-need-to-take-this-man-seriously/
Re the Van Jones 10-point manifesto, here is #8 - on taxes:VII. Return to Fairer Tax Rates – End, once and for all, the Bush-era tax giveaways for the rich, which the rest of us — or our kids — must pay eventually. Outlaw corporate tax havens and tax breaks for shipping jobs overseas. And with millionaires and billionaires taking a growing share of our country's wealth, let's add new tax brackets for those making more than $1 million annually.Sound familiar? The rest of the 10 points are similarly familiar.
Zippy should have asked David Walker to have lunch with him and Mitt.Less and less citizens are working and paying taxes. He will never collect enough money from the wealthy to cover everyone. It is a losing battle.Maybe he invited Mitt to let him know how much more he will pay in taxes to cover his peeps.
What burns my butt is him flying all over Hell´s half acre on AF-1 which costs $182,000/hour for fuel. We may not be in such a hole if he hadn´t been campaigning around the country on our dime for the last four years. I thought he was elected to run the country. I didn´t vote for him and I certainly didn´t vote for ValJar who prolly is running the country in his absence. And now I hear the Obamas will spend 20 days in Hawaii at Christmas to the tune of $4 million. Geez Louise!
It is astounding to me that people have not taken notice of what is going on in the UK and France. Both current leaders raised taxes so high on the wealthy (90% in France), the wealthy are fleeing in droves with their money, their capital, liquidating their assets and taking their skill, talent and experience with them. The US is on the same path.Take a look at CA as a portent for the entire country. CA is so highly taxed and so poorly managed/governed (worst in the US), that the wealthiest are leaving and moving to business friendly states like TX and FL.Also, if you live or do business in CA, much of NY and parts of the NE, $250,000 for a family of say four or five does not go very far. Worse, if you are a high volume, but low return retailer, the BO taxes are going to wipe you out. BO´s revival of the estate tax is wiping out family farms nationally and the massive property tax hike in CA will render real property impossible to sell or buy.So all you idiot BO voters when you gas is $5.00, like mine, you have no job or insurance or a low paying job...you voted for it so you own it.
The wolves are gathering with the sheep to vote on what´s for dinner.
Real work rears its surly head.Lazy Sir Zero turned and fled.
All of those rich French citizens, by the way, are streaming into Switzerland to set up permanent residence. We are glad to have them. And their wealth.
I say give him everything he wants.He da bozz.
This is all the lazy bum knows how to do, give speeches to stir up the mobs. Leadership? What a joke!
From an article yesterday: "According to the Congressional Budget Office, the top 1 percent of US earners already pay 22.3 percent of all federal income taxes (based on 2009 figures), even though their share of total income earned is just 13.3 percent."That tax share is almost twice as high as the income share. Stinky says, "More!"#3: Please clarify: do you think Obama really wants to ease or end the recession? Thanks.
Meanwhile, no one is mentioning that the "cliff" itself is the result of 4 years of Obama´s intentional mismanagement. If he had wanted to avoid it, why did he do everything in his power to bring us here in the first place?Events may soon bring us to the point where Democrats will be compelled, or feel more emboldened, to admit their true intentions. None of which are good.
Some idiot was on Fox yesterday saying the $700 billion Obama stole for Medicare and gave to Obamacare was a budget cut.The other two people in the conversation couldn´t believe what they were hearing. We´re up against a totally irrational group of people here who are being more adolescent and juvenile every day.Obama´s so concerned about the state of the country he has a 20 day vacation already lined up and I suppose his puppet masters will visit him with more tips on this country´s destruction.Republicans should be on every radio and TV show they can accusing Obama of bargaining in bad faith,not offering a single thing of substance in return for raising taxes.
I´m sorry, Mr. President. But this country is taxed enough already.As for continuing to spend money we don´t have like there´s no tomorrow, you´re invited to go make love to your own backside.
Please...will somebody tell Mr. Personality that the election is over, and we the People want no more new taxes, revenue, etc...
Just to prove that I´m not a racist, I´ll state for the record that I don´t begrudge him for campaigning for his third term.
What did you expect? We need to resist this wanton destruction of ourselves.
