Did David Letterman Spoil the Ending to 'The Dark Knight Rises'?

Any "Batman" fans around here? Personally, I think director Christopher Nolan's da bomb!

But this? My goodness! Don't click the video if you don't want the spoiler - it's awful!

David Letterman has caused outrage among Batman fans after apparently spoiling the ending of The Dark Knight Rises during an interview with Anne Hathaway.

The late night talk show host shocked the 28-year-old actress - and many viewers - after he seemed to reveal a crucial plot element while discussing the final installment in Christopher Nolan's trilogy.

Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink!...from Mike Haltman at TPC



A map showing the level of drought across the United States that will undoubtedly result in food inflation for US consumers as wel as consumers around the world.

This is one more reason why quoting the CPI ex-food and energy is ridiculous as these are the two major expenses for the majority of US consumers!

More than Honey - Markus Imhoof (Official Trailer)

Searching for answers for the global bee declines director Markus Imhoof takes us on a trip around the world to meet people living with and off honeybees: almond growers in California, a Swiss mountain beekeeper, a German neuroscientist investigating bee brains, a pollen dealer in China, and bee researchers in Australia. We enter the fascinating world of a bee hive, encounter fighting queens and dancing workers face to face and experience their highly sophisticated swarm intelligence, where the individual constantly serves the requirements of the community. The film will have its world premiere on the 11th of August 2012, concluding the biggest film festival in Switzerland. It will be officially released in Europe end of October 2012 and will be distributed internationally in early 2013.

Satay (Sate).....................from Rico

One of my favorite Southeast Asian dishes is Satay. Marinated, skewered and grilled meat (any meat - chicken, beef, goat, fish) served with a dipping sauce. Anywhere I went I could easily find local Satay (Thailand, Malaya, Indonesia, Singapore, et al, although the Japanese version 'Yakitori' was never 'spicy' enough to be very interesting, but perhaps I'll try my hand at some of that one of these days anyway).
- I am particularly fond of Thai-style chicken Satay with spicy peanut dipping sauce, but like to combine that with chunked cucumbers and onions on the side which is a Singaporean variation.

It may be because the weather has been a bit like Thailand here recently, or I may be a bit 'homesick' for my beloved Thailand, but I continue with my Thai food 'fetish' and this was today's project.

The dog got none, as I ate it all.

Chicken Satay skewers

Marinate chicken strips overnight in oil, cumin, coriander, ginger and of course, a splash of Sri Racha.

Thread onto skewers and grill (or use broiler in oven).

Peanut dipping sauce for the Satay:
- crushed dry-roasted peanuts
- soy sauce
- Sri Racha
- brown sugar
- crushed garlic
- add coconut milk until you have a ‘paste’

Serve with cucumber and onion bits as a side

CNN: Obama's Bain Push 'Doesn't Appear To Be True'

Obama’s pitiful Bain gambit reeks of desperation, and it’s only July. Is it possible the Attack Dog-in-Chief can sink even lower in the slime, or has he already reached bottom and left it in the gym? In due course, I’m sure we’re going to find out. Hey, and whatever happened to Hope and Change?

Vote: Should the statue of Joe Paterno be removed from the campus of Penn State University?...from Mike Haltman at TPC



It seems to me that the answer to this question, given the fact that Joe Paterno knew and did nothing about ongoing sexual abuse of children by a member of his staff  should be cut and dry, but I don't want to skew the results!

Monica Crowley Speaks at the Wednesday Morning Club in Los Angeles

She's a "Happy Warrior."

Photobucket
The talk was very straightforward. Dr. Crowley spoke for about 30 minutes or so, staying close to the material in her new book, What the (Bleep) Just Happened?: The Happy Warrior's Guide to the Great American Comeback. I've still got a couple of chapters to read, but the book offers a devastating critique of Barack Obama and the progressive left's assault on America since January 20, 2009. Dr. Crowley offers a wealth of detail in the book, including an almost encyclopedic recap of the president's past statements and current hypocrisies. Her theme is upbeat, though, positing that the road to American renewal lies in the cheerful restoration of American exceptionalism and optimism --- the fight of "The Happy Warrior," as Dr. Crowley likes to call it. And she models that happiness in person, and throws in a lot of good humor as well. In concluding her talk, Dr. Crowley indicated three key elements of renewal: (1) Throw the progressive bums out, especially Barack Obama, who can't be allowed a second term, lest he have the chance to finish the destruction that he started; (2) after kicking out the Obama redistributionists, we need to propose a set of commonsense policies designed restore economic prosperity (in all its facets, including healthcare, deregulation, etc.); and (3) Americans need an "attitudinal" adjustment, a vigorous (and optimistic) reassertion of the core values and beliefs that have fostered our prosperity. What Obama has been able to do is legitimize hardcore anti-Americanism by packaging old-left America-hatred in a spiffy 21st century wrapper. Through stealth and trickery, the left has fobbed off European-style dependency and decline. But take heed: success in combating the Obama legacy won't come overnight, because the left "never sleeps." We have to push back twice as hard in a multi-front war, political, economic, cultural, and international. It's going to happen, but it'll take time.
