Andrew Breitbart, he of the breitbart.com aggregator, is angling for a different angle on Hollywood, the arts and entertainment:

After playing supporting roles to big names in media and politics, Andrew Breitbart is poised to become the protagonist in his own story.

The publisher of the online news aggregator Breitbart.com helped launch and run two of today’s most influential media and political punditry websites, Arianna Huffington’s left-leaning The Huffington Post and Matt Drudge’s right-leaning Drudge Report. He offers little about his past with Drudge, where he was a part-time editor who once at a dinner party jokingly called himself “Matt Drudge’s bitch.” He compares the comment to President-elect Barack Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau groping the breast on a cardboard Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.). Of Drudge, Breitbart says only, “I don’t work there anymore.”

Now the politically conservative Breitbart, 39, will debut his own collection of original material in his Big Hollywood group blog, a new home for right-of-center voices that want to sound off on the interplay of popular culture and politics.

An interesting idea, to debut on January 6th of 2009. And a nice hat-tip to The Canadian Sentinel for the info.

In my state, Fornicalia, it’s “Call In Gay” Day:

‘Day Without a Gay’ is latest protest against California gay marriage ban
4:36 AM, December 10, 2008
Gay-rights activists are encouraging people to “call in gay” to work today to demonstrate how integral gay people are to American society.

“We are here, and we are not second-class citizens, and we deserve the same rights as everyone else,” said Julio Perez, a restaurant manager in Chicago who is planning to take the day off.

Oh please. Just get over it. Proposition 8 passed in Fornicalia. You know who this hurts? Gay business owners, predominantly gay businesses or businesses serving the LGBT community. Plus, you arbitrarily decide not to appear for work? AWOL. Docked pay. Or fired.

The people who are gay and work for my agency? Guess what? They showed up for work.

Me too.

I represent that.

Plus (from the internet):

> When I was a kid we didn’t have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue! There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter, with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox a nd it would take like a week to get there! There were no MP3’s or Napsters! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! We didn’t have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that’s it! And we didn’t have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your Bookie, a collections agent. You just didn’t know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister! We didn’t have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like ‘Space Invaders’ and ‘asteroids’. Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen Forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE! You had to use a little book called the TV Guide to find out what was on TV! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel. And there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday morning. Do you hear what I’m saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled Little rat-bastards! And we didn’t have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove …. Imagine that! That’s exactly what I’m talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You’re spoiled. You guys wouldn’t have lasted five minutes back in 1980!

But sometimes I just get overwhelmed:

Our politicians are decomposing with corruption on most every level, all the way up to the White House. Our president-elect says he had “no contact” with the corrupt governor. See the above photo and the one in my post under this one.

Our Leftist media will do their best to minimize and/or eliminate any negative issues involving our president-elect.

Undeserving corporations and financial institutions are rewarded for greed and failure: the Big 3 now have their bailout.

Individuals are swayed by this greed and corruption.

T-bills are worthless.

The west will continue to bow to Islam.

Our borders are porous and no government entity is interested in securing them; Americans continue to die resulting from the actions of illegal invaders.

States, counties, cities are bordering on bankruptcy because they refuse to cut spending.

Sometimes I just want to retreat to a cave and pull the rock closed behind me.

Here is a shocking event:

CHICAGO (CBS) ― Full release from U.S. Attorney’s Office:
Illinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich and his Chief of Staff, John Harris, were arrested today by FBI agents on federal corruption charges alleging that they and others are engaging in ongoing criminal activity: conspiring to obtain personal financial benefits for Blagojevich by leveraging his sole authority to appoint a United States Senator; threatening to withhold substantial state assistance to the Tribune Company in connection with the sale of Wrigley Field to induce the firing of Chicago Tribune editorial board members sharply critical of Blagojevich; and to obtain campaign contributions in exchange for official actions – both historically and now in a push before a new state ethics law takes effect January 1, 2009.

Further, from ABC News:

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich wanted President-elect Barack Obama “to put something together…something big” in exchange for going along with Obama’s choice to fill his vacant US Senate seat, according to an FBI affidavit unsealed following the Governor’s stunning arrest.

“I’ve got this thing and it’s f***ing golden, and, uh, uh, I’m just not giving it up for f***in’ nothing. I’m not gonna do it. And I can always use it. I can parachute me there,” Blagojevich said in a phone call secretly recorded by the FBI on November 5, the day after the election, according to the affidavit.

Here is the complete affadavit from the US DOJ.

Corruption in Chicago? Corruption in Illinois? How could this possibly be true?

Say, isn’t president-elect Barack Hussein Obama from . . .
