    This isn't actually in the news, but I find it interesting.

    The republican candidate for governor of Texas uses a wheelchair. In the TV ads attempting to show his humanitarian concern for us he is shown in the wheelchair. In the TV ads attempting to show him as being strong and tough--the Texas-Mexico border NEEDS more patrols!!--the wheelchair isn't shown.

    Did our openly lesbian mayor, Anise Parker, cross the line in order to quash opposition to the ordinance banning discrimination of gay and transgender residents?

    IMO, definately. I don't know what her legal team was thinking, if they were even thinking, but they blew it. Any attorney with even half a brain would've said "Don't do it."

    NYPD officer not charged in the choke hold death of Eric Garner. I am not surprised, just once again sorely disappointed that our Humanity has no lower limits. Thankfully the Federal Judicial system is investigating, I attempted to watch and listen to all the news on this that I could, and in my opinion that NYC officer should be indited not given a desk job

    The French trailer was released today.

    The Little Prince could be one of the most beautiful animated films of 2015.
    I'll go see it.
