Previously I promised more on the shocking box office collapse of Mel Gibson 's Apocalypto movie. I still am perplexed by it. After all, the common belief is that Mel Gibson has a huge and quite fanatical fan base, he is a charismatic leader, he is a proven box office superstar and Apocalypto had almost uniformly fawning reviews from critics focusing on the "action" aspects of the film.Apocalypto

A key finding of the Iraq Study Group was that the United States needed to initiate a diplomatic gambit with the present Iranian strongman. Many have characterized this as appeasement on the par with Neville Chamberlain's "peace in our time" deal with Germany's strongman Adolf Hitler, which constituted British capitulation on destruction Czechoslovakia. Appeasement makes you feel good for a

Hey, Don't worry, be happy. We have Miss USA and the Donald too!I have felt for a long time that the beauty pageant organizers were hypocritical with their winners. Sitting on such shaky moral grounds themselves, the organizers in past years have felt the need to overreact and punish.

This is my new political and social commentary blog. This post on Mel Gibson is on old news, but which keeps popping up over and over. So to keep things straight, I have dated this post from August.I have felt Mel Gibson has not had a filter like most normal people.
