There are few journalistic standards left these days as we have proven on this broadcast again and again.

Bill O’Reilly, in a moment of unintentional irony.

A graph printed in the NYT ranks red vs blue states according to divorce rates, teenage birthrates and subscriptions to online porn sites. It’s interesting that the states belonging to the party of “family values” are more highly concentrated at the top of the pile in all three catagories.

This doesn’t seem to be showing in my immediate vicinity yet — so all I’ve seen of this movie is this trailer.

First of all: the styling. I love the way they did the titles. And the juxtaposition between the happy farm-fresh labels and the dark dystopian factories delights me.

Second: the content. I read both of the books this film is based on, and I’m glad there’s (hopefully? potentially?) a movie I can point people towards when they start giving me shit about my vegetarian, anti-processed-food diet. (I never lecture people on their own choices, I swear. It’s not my business and honestly I don’t care what other people do as long as it doesn’t affect me. But it’s amazing to me how simply passing on sharing a meat-based appetizer or something can cause people to wig out on you.)

It’s a press cliché that “gay supporters” are disappointed with Obama, but we should all be. Gay Americans aren’t just another political special interest group. They are Americans who are actively discriminated against by federal laws. If the president is to properly honor the memory of Stonewall, he should get up to speed on what happened there 40 years ago, when courageous kids who had nothing, not even a public acknowledgment of their existence, stood up to make history happen in the least likely of places.

Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen — or is it the Queen of Hearts? Who cares. I love the styling.
