1/13    Go rent Control Room on DVD.  Documentary on Al-Jazeera.  Has a lot
        of footage of a U.S. liason, too.  Rated 8.0 on http://imdb.com.
        \_ Saw it in the theaters. Thought it was interesting and thought-
           provoking. Was sad to see it overshadowed by the other documentaries
           last year.
        \_ Does it have a political agenda or is it a true documentary?
           \_ A documentary can't have a political agenda?  Go home, little boy.
                \_ No, it can't, to answer your question, fag.
                \_ No, it can't, to answer your question, fag. -chrchan
                        \_ I love how someone signed my post for me, as if
                           that's supposed to piss me off or something.
                           \_ When someone is that stupid, it's good for
                              everyone to know who it is
                              \_ Seconded.  Thanks. And the beauty is, the
                                 jackass acutally verified it for you.
                                \_ Whoever said the person who signed my post
                                   got it right, bitch?
                                   \_ Chris, you're wrong.  Grow up.
                                        \_ Comedy gold. Like now I'm supposed
                                           to be freaked out that someone
                                           knows how to use finger, w, and
                                           cron. Is this the same person who
                                           thought that one guy was running an
                                           online pharmacy on here?
                                           \_ Freaked out?  Why on earth would
                                              you be freaked out over this?
                                              Get a grip, dude.  I think it's
                                              more to do with either accepting
                                              the fact that people now
                                              associate your name with
                                              stupidity, or continuing to freak
                                              over something so dumb as being
                                              'outed' on motd.  You have GOT
                                              to be an undergrad.
                    \_ Yes, it can, moron. -phuqm
                       \_ I saw 9/11 and it had no agenda whatsover. Nope.
                          Nada. Nothing. Totally unbiased.
                          Nada. Nothing. Totally unbiased. -fag
                          \_ Noone said it was.
           \_ It's a feature about Al Jazeera. It presents Al Jazeera as being
              reasonable, rational, and concerned with doing the right thing.
              Most of those interviewed are moderates, although they tend to
              get (understandably) strained after a stray US bomb kills one of
              their field corespondents. It's interesting because it's a point
              of view you're not likely to have seen on the American news.
              \_ "Stray bomb" isn't exactly the right phrase.  "Missiles
                 deliberately targeting journalists" is probably closer.
                 \_ I'm still not convinced "journalists" is the right term
                    for the enemy propogandists at Al Jazeera, but I guess
                    I'll have to rent the DVD and decide for myself. I'll
                    rent it tomorrow.
                    \_ Looking forward to your take on it.
                 \_ I also watched Control Room.  I think it's possible that
                    Al-Jazeera's Baghdad office (whose location the coalition
                    forces had) was deliberately attacked, but I think it's
                    more likely the A-10 pilot thought the guy with the helmet
                    pointing the videocamera at him was aiming a shoulder-
                    mounted SAM.  I've also read one report suggesting that
                    this was the first time an A-10 was in the area, so he
                    probably either freaked, was trigger-happy, or there
                    really was someone firing at him from the same building.
                    The last explanation was the official U.S. one, but I
                    don't think it's correct given eyewitness reports.

                    - idiot liberal
                    \_ Yeah, just make conjectures based on no proof. How
                       are you any better than those who you condemn?
                       \_ I just read the previous post twice, and I'm still
                          trying to figure out who you think he's "condemning".

8/21    I'm trying to negotiate rent renewal and my manager came
        back saying she can't do that due to Fair Housing Laws
        that states that if they adjust price for one person
        they need to adjust price for everyone else. Is this
        an actual law or some bullshit she just made up?
        \_ Probably bullshit.

        \_ "As land values rose, the couple's combined mortgage and property
           tax payment soared, to $2,900 from $1,500."  Uhh, for some reason
           I don't think the wsj is being totally honest here.  Property taxes
           doubled the mortgage?  Really?

3/19    Communist/Socialist House reps pass bill taxing bonuses at 90% for that
        portion of the bonus that pushes you over, for individuals, total AGI
        > $125K ($250K married) working at an entity which took >= $5B in TARP
        money.  A disgrace to meritocracy.  Cost of living in Manhattan is
        expensive you know??  It's a good thing it only starts for the 2009

2/10    I've mailed my landlord about excess withholdings from my deposit
        (certified mail), quoting legal code and all that. I'm going to write
        him a followup letter saying he never responded. Is the next step

2/3     There's a glut of apartments out there. Three units on my floor
        (of a 80 unit apartment) are now vacant, in less than a month.
        The weird thing is my landlord is increasing the rent by $200
        a month, bumping it to $2200. I'm told her about the rate out
        there, and she only budged $100. WTF, is this common? Oh well,
        time to look for another place. I hate corporate managed apartments.

Barbara Hershey), have been deeply involved in the anti-apartheid movement, to the point where Diana herself is detained by the government and locked away from her family. Thrust into a world of revolutionaries and violence, Molly grapples with her vastly different surroundings, but finds her mother's attention shifted towards the political. And though she tries to join her mother in her struggle, family tensions continue to punctuate their relationship. Chris Menges crafts a moving drama that hits home on a number of levels -- its one girl's story, but it touches on the experience of thousands, both black and white.
