The Hurt Locker (2009)
There is a lot of chatter about The Hurt Locker and whether director Kathryn Bigelow will serve up a feast of schadenfreude by besting ex-husband and douche James Cameron at the Oscars this year.

As sympathetic as I am to AlterNet’s intentions, and as much as I agree with a good deal of the content in the recent article, “Sarah Palin’s 9 Most Disturbing Beliefs,” I’m afraid that I have to call foul on one of their choices: In June, Palin gave a speech at the Wasilla Assembly of [...]

Congrats to Peter, one of my favorite bloggers (and just a really nice guy) on his new position with Sen. Clinton. But don’t worry, Peter will still be hanging around at the Daou Report, although he won’t be posting as much of his own stuff. I’m glad that he’s sticking around — Peter’s one of [...]

It was done in 15 nations, including the United States, [...]
