Airbender Movie - No Asians Allowed?

Only one Asian actor in upcoming "Airbender" movie. Oh, the humanity!

Did you hear about this, by any chance?

What the F#$* is that all about.

It's like "Cosby Show: The Movie" with an all white cast...starring Steve Carell and featuring Danny Glover as "Cliff Huxtable" - the whacky neighbor.

Medical Joke #234: A Lady Takes Her Dead Duck To The Vet

A lady takes her dead duck to the vet. "Doctor, there's something wrong with my duck!" The vet looks at the duck. The duck is obviously dead. The vet listens to the duck's heart and lungs and says, "I'm sorry ma'am, but it looks like her duck is dead." "WHaT!!!" she exclaims. "How can you tell, you didn't even run any tests or anything!" So the vet thinks a moment and then opens the door to the exam room and a dog walks in, a Labrador Retriever. 

My Favorite TV Anime List Is Better Than Your Favorite TV Anime List

I've been thinking about this for sometime, but just got around to putting my top ten list together.

I know there's some glaring omissions, but contrary to popular believe I do have a life outside of watching Japanese animation. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a Star Trek convention to get dressed for...

#1

Star Blazers - Time is ticking away towards the destruction of mankind, unless our heroes on the spaceship Argo fight the Gamilons, make it to planet Iscandar, meet Queen Starsha and get back in time to save the Earth! For a 7 year old kid, that was intense. I always Ioved cartoons about adventures in space (as you'll see) and it all started with Starblazers ("Space Battleship Yamato" in Japan). In 2010, a live action version will be released in Japan. (COoL!!) Unlike American animated shows, these characters were on mission and each episode was either success or failure, but always ended the same way..."Can the Star Force make it? Only XXX left!"

Dr. François Duvalier (1907 - 1971)

                            

“I know the Haitian people, because I am the Haitian people.”

 

Words spoken by none other than Francios Duvalier, M.D., President of Haiti from 1957 to 1971, born on this day in 1907.

“Papa Doc” Duvalier, a nickname he earned during his medical career as a doctor to the poor, fighting tropical diseases in the poorest communities of Haiti, rising to the top of the Ministry of Health before a coup toppled the government forcing him and others into exile.

In 1956, he was back in Haiti as the populist leader of the poor, Afro-Haitian majority in a presidential campaign against the wealthy candidate of the upper-class mulatto minority who dominated the country.

Duvalier won in a landslide, a landslide that buried Haiti under more that 15 of rule by corruption, intimidation and repression. The Duvalier regime murdered more than 30,000 of its opponents and created conditions that forced many educated Haitians to flee the country, creating a brain drain from which Haiti never recovered.
