Why is the Obama administration taking so many shots at a political entertainer?
Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has repeatedly aimed his guns at the radio personality. And the ammunition is the clever digs that appear to be neutral but are really nasty comments.
And on the same lines – why is a giant political party being driven by a radio personality? Or is it? I think Emanuel and his team would like nothing else than to keep the attention on Rush Limbaugh and leave the focus on him instead of some bigger issues.
We’re talking about the leader of this country (his right-hand man rather) picking verbal fights with a personality in the entertainment field.
This is when we should look up from our ipods and proclaim the freedom to ignore and the freedom to disagree without demonizing your opponent. (For more on demons, see Paranormal Activity)
I needed to take a break from politics and my job frustration to share about a movie I saw recently titled, Paranormal Activity.
The movie follows a boyfriend and girlfriend as they suffer through multiple nights of a haunting.
Do not assume this is anything like The Exorcist or any other haunted house movie, it seeps into your soul and seriously messes you up.
The boyfriend, Micah, buys a camera to “capture” the events on tape. He doesn’t take things too seriously until the end of the film when the truly horrific begins to occur. He taunts the “thing” and pulls out a Ouija Board in order to talk with it.
The girlfriend, Katie, confesses to a psychic that she’s been “followed” by something since she was eight years old.
Every night that you see, something happens. It begins innocently with their bedroom door moving a few inches, followed by bangs, screams, feet stomping, and more.
I never understood why the couple didn’t just leave the house and go to a Motel 6 or something. Yes, the thing will follow her, but at least this would get them out of the craziness for a while.
The ending sets up a nice new mythos for moviegoers and horror fans and was suggested by Steven Spielberg.
It is a frightening movie. Beat out Saw VI which tells you that people enjoy the “clean” horror rather than the blood and guts of recent years.
It’s rated R for the number of times, foul language is used. And seriously, if your house was being haunted by whatever it is in this house…you’d say a few choice words too.
