My guess is that Angelina Jolie would disapprove :fem2:

News - Angelina Jolie Not a Fan of Obama - Celebrity News - UsMagazine.com
Barack Obama does not have Angelina Jolie's seal of approval.

"She hates him," a source close to the U.N. goodwill ambassador, 34, tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands now).

"She's into education and rehabilitation and thinks Obama is all about welfare and handouts. She thinks Obama is really a socialist in disguise," adds the source...

WP wrote:Alternative Views was one of the longest running public access television programs in the United States. Produced in Austin, Texas in 1978, it produced 563 hour-long programs featuring news, interviews and opinion pieces from a progressive political perspective. Show founders and on-air hosts, Douglas Kellner and Frank Morrow, produced the show on virtually no budget using facilities at Austin Community Television (ACTV) and The University of Texas at Austin.[1] They also pioneered an innovative syndication system that placed the program in almost 80 television markets around the country.


126. (N) BOYS FOR SALE (PART I)

The tragic and shocking abuse of boy prostitutes is discussed by Dr. Tom
Philpott and former Editor of _The Daily Texan_, Mark McKinnon, who has
written articles on the subject. Philpott has found that these children are
frequently physically abused, even tortured and killed. Many of the men who
participate in this "practice" are among some of the most respected people
at the top levels of the U.S. corporate and governmental structures. We
discuss prominent cases of sexual abuse of boys and possible connections
between child prostitution and the murder of black children in Atlanta. The
program is enhanced by the use of segments of two 1979 documentaries _Boys
for Sale_, produced for Channel 11 in Houston and Channel 13 in Atlanta.

Run time: 59:14
Recorded October, 1981
News 1984
Copyright December, 1983 ???

127. BOYS FOR SALE (PART II)

Because this tragic, national scandal has largely been ignored by the mass
media, our concluding segment focuses on the press coverage and on the
handling of the situation by the law enforcement and judicial systems. The
program looks closely at the boys themselves: their backrounds, how they got
into "the life," why they stay in it and how they feel about themselves. We
also reveal the extent of the threats and violence toward the people who
have been active in exposing the situation and bringing it to the attention
of the public.

Run time: 58:18
Recorded October, 1981
Copyright October, 1981

Visualizing Empires' Decline

An animation showing the growth and decline of the
world's main empires, from 1814 to the present. Each
empire is a dynamically expanding or contracting
circle, and with each declaration of independence a
circle labeled with the newly independent nation burst
free.

From Annie Leonard, creator of The Story of Stuff, with support from the Durban Climate Justice Group:

Watch it at http://storyofstuff.com/capandtrade/

The Story of Cap & Trade is a fast-paced, fact-filled look at the
leading climate solution - emissions trading - on the negotiating
table at Copenhagen and in other capitals. Host Annie Leonard
introduces the energy traders and Wall Street financiers at the heart
of this scheme and reveals the "devils in the details" in current cap
and trade proposals: free permits to big polluters, fake offsets and
distraction from what’s really required to tackle the climate crisis.
If you’ve heard about Cap & Trade, but aren’t sure how it works (or
who benefits), this is the film is for you.
