All They Do Is Spark Mad "Isms"

Jesus; why are people so faction-happy? I can barely read or watch the so-called "news" because it's all about one "ism" or another: conservatism, liberalism, fascism, communism, populism.

Of course, with the economy swirling around the drain the big "Ism War" is between Capitalism and Socialism (three guess on who's winning).

I like Chris Rock's take on the whole thing:

  1. Listen to the issue
  2. Think about it
  3. Then make your decision

Because like he said, "no normal decent person" is one thing all the damn time. A person who sees every single issue through an "ism" would go insane (if they weren't already).

But maybe that's it; maybe the "Isms" have slowly taken over. Maybe we're just witnessing a scene from Stephen King's "The Stand" where people have to make a choice of who they're going to side with (only it's more than two choices).

So I'll continue to do my best at taking each issue on a case-by-case basis (assuming there's no overwhelming precedent) while these other yahoos...well:

Oh my god I agree with this so much! When I first heard Chris Rock (I think it was one of his HBO stand-ups) say that I was practically rolling on the floor. It's stupid to call yourself either liberal or conservative if you dont even know the particular issue lol

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav
