Rokke Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Sean Penn and Me H. W. Crocker, III 2/20/12 I know I shouldn't, but I always feel a sense of personal responsibility when Sean Penn says something stupid. You see, it was my father who taught him history -- or at least sort of. For some, Sean Penn's most famous role -- something he might regret -- is as the pothead surfer dude Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. His strict, disciplinarian U.S. history teacher in that film, Mr. Hand, was my dad. I don't mean the actor who portrayed Mr. Hand, Roy Walston. I mean the real U.S. history teacher at Clairemont (Ridgemont) High on whom Mr. Hand was based. (Snip) Penn's latest inanity is to have called the Falkland Islands "the Malvinas Islands of Argentina" and to say that "the world today is not going to tolerate any ludicrous and archaic commitment to colonialist ideology" -- this in reference to Britain's defense of the people of the Falkland Islands, most of whom (about 70 percent) are of British descent (most of the rest are Scandinavian), and who have been ruled by Britain since 1833 (the British originally claimed the islands in 1765) and don't want to be conquered by the Argentines. (Snip) Like Jeff Spicoli, I went to Clairemont (Ridgemont) High. I didn't take my dad's history course, but I still managed to learn a fair bit. And as I recall the surfer dudes in my class were smarter than the average student. I can't imagine any of them thinking or talking like Sean Penn. When the Falklands War erupted (while I was in college), the surfers I knew thought Britain's imperial response -- the Royal Marines, the Harrier jump jets, Prince Andrew in his Sea King helicopter -- was "totally bitchin'." I'm with them. That was a fun read. Sean Penn lost his usefulness after Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Too bad he's about the only person who doesn't know that.

WestVirginiaRebel Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Jobless disability claims soar to record $200B as of January As of January, the federal government was mailing out disability checks to more than 10.5 million individuals, including 2 million to spouses and children of disabled workers, at a cost of record $200 billion a year, recent research from JPMorgan Chase shows. The sputtering economy has fueled those ranks. Around 5.3 percent of the population between the ages of 25 and 64 is currently collecting federal disability payments, a jump from 4.5 percent since the economy slid into a recession. Mental-illness claims, in particular, are surging. During the recent economic boom, only 33 percent of applicants were claiming mental illness, but that figure has jumped to 43 percent, says Rutledge, citing preliminary results from his latest research. Barack Obama is literally driving people crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barack Obama is literally driving people crazy! Gallup "Barack Obama is literally driving people crazy!" Addendum: I would like to note that for some of us it is a much shorter drive than for others. In fact there are days when it is but a short walk, no need to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The Atlantic: '19 Kids and Counting' Gets Stranger, Sadder I don't have a TV, so have never watched this show, but I find this review...well condescending to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable that they would, we are a political opinion site, and someone might be "offended" by us. One can only imagine what they would think of Freerepublic! question: Do they also block left leaning sites? If not I would raise a stink. GET To Work! It's your turn.
