Tron Jeremy!!


A movie can measure how successful it is by how soon and how many porn movie parodies are made of it. I'm not going to even attempt to look for all of the possibilities, but here is a SFW Tron Jeremy.

Enjoy!

Tron - Reviewed






I'm not going to go into the plot and spoil it for you. I enjoyed it and I would see it again! If you're a constant reader at Floridaegu, you'll know that I've mentioned my Tron-chubby on more than one occasion. There seems to be a split on how some people viewed this movie. It's a cult revival for some and a WTF for others. I'm in the prior camp. I saw 1982 Tron with a child's eye and imagination. To see the second movie pick up where it left off and in the way they did it so that it could stand alone, just made me want to jump around the movie theater. On more than one occasion I did throw my hands in the air and yell-out to myself.


The visuals were badass, I want to do more naughty things with Olivia Wilde AKA "13" (House), and the story was decent. I admit there were some holes in the story that were glossed over. I admit the character Tron could have shown his face, but if I let some of those minor details slide, and just enjoy the movie, then good friends, Tron: Legacy is worth watching!

What's Your Choice For Worst Police Misconduct?


The nice folks at Injustice Everywhere grabbed a bunch of police misconduct videos and put them up for a vote. The poll is closed now, but this is just a few of the hundreds (possibly thousands this year?) of videos for this year alone that show just how much the police detest the public.

There is a saying about Libertarians.  A Libertarian is either a Democrat with a conservative financial sense or a Republican that was beaten by a police officer.

Cute, but this is a serious matter. Injustice Everywhere is showing only 27 videos. I know there are much more out there. This can't be just another isolated incident. This is a common occurrence. It's frightening that the people we pay to protect and defend us are intimidating and beating us. In some of the videos there are cops trying to cover up other cops. In many videos this year, we see cops beating or arresting people for videotaping, not interfering, just video taping. The unlisted crime of Contempt of Cop is being used against law abiding citizens that demand accountability.

When I look at this problem from a free-market standpoint, I think state-paid police could be done away with. I think privatized security could be a better way. You'd have increased customer service and lower crime. It would be in a company's interest to keep their customers (citizens) happy by catching the bad guys and leaving citizens who ask questions, or videotape them, alone.

TED Talk About Parenting Taboos


As a father of two charming girls, I'm often at a loss at how to handle the situation. Should I be a tough daddy or easy-going? Usually the answer's somewhere in the middle. I thought it would be similar to basic training. I'd break them in and make 'em do push-ups. HA! Often times, they're the ones calling the shots. They cry, I respond.

Anyway, here's a couple from TED that describe four taboos about parenting. It's humorous and refreshing.




Libertarianism Explained


Hello good reader and happy new year!

I thought I'd hang this video here for you to enjoy. I've previously described Libertarianism in the past but this video might be able to give more information. In it Judge Napolitano (no relation to Janet "Big Sister" Napolitano) has guests from Reason magazine. They are some of the more popular Libertarians and they give their responses to the judge.





Anyway, enjoy!
