Oh My God! Is Brit Hume Suggesting Christian Evangelists Can Help Tiger Woods Because of Their Deep Experience With Sex Scandals?


Is Fox News analyst Brit Hume advising Tiger Woods to seek help from a religion that finds sex so threatening and icky (e.g., virgin birth) that he'll never want to do it again? Or is he suggesting that Tiger Woods can get damage control advice from the following evangelists (the dates following their names indicate the date of their scandals when their public image was exposed as a fraud)?
Jim Bakker 1987
Jimmy Swaggart, 1986 and 1991
Peter Popoff, 1987
Morris Cerullo, 1990s
Mike Warnke, 1991
Robert Tilton, 1991
W. V. Grant, 1996 and 2003
John Paulk, 2000
Douglas Goodman, 2004
Kent Hovind, 2006
Ted Haggard, 2006
Paul Barnes, 2006
Lonnie Latham, 2006
Gilbert Deya, 2006
Richard Roberts, 2007
Earl Paulk, 2007
Coy Privette, 2007
Thomas Wesley Weeks, III, 2007
Michael Reid, 2008
Joe Barron, 2008
Todd Bentley, 2008
Tony Alamo, 2008
Or is Brit Hume suggesting that Tiger Woods can be "cured" of his wayward sexuality by Scott Lively, Caleb Lee Brundidge and Don Schmierer,the American evangelical Christians who are “curing” sin in Uganda by seeing that homosexuals are sentenced to death?

Process Film - Reverse Graffitti

Lost Generation


This short video won a prize in a contest sponsored by AARP that encouraged young people to imagine themselves at age 50. It is not, strictly speaking, an original work. "Lost Generation" is based on a prize-winning 2006 Argentinian Political Advertisement, "The Truth". "Lost Generation" is therefore a product of our remix culture, where young people (and older bloggers like me) are taking the expression and ideas created by others and remixing them. This begs the question, should a remix of someone else's original work qualify as prize-winning creativity?

BBC Hypes GM's Hydrogen Car, Overlooking GM's History with the Electric Car


I am deeply suspicious of GM's interest in hydrogen. Before we get excited about hydrogen vehicles from GM, we need to hear from GM about why the EV1 was eliminated from GM's line.
Who Killed the Electric Car? (2006) is a disturbing documentary about how GM gamed the system 10 years ago (including hyping the potential of hydrogen fuel and spreading disinformation about electric cars) to fight energy-efficiency mandates in California. A large part of Who Killed the Electric Car? (2006) is an expose of GM's efforts to undermine the demand for electric cars, and then to take back every EV1 and dispose of them.
