Happy Labor Day Weekend. The Movie is Love Crime [2010], I read about it on another site and since j’adore French movies I decided to check it out. It's great, but I am ambivalent about seeing the American remake because the original is a slow, methodical psychological thriller and I know that U.S. movies tend to rely on lots of car chases and explosions for no good reason.

In addition: 

 I am busy creating my official website [in progress], so I’ve not been creating many or any Blog entries. In addition I have been watching one hour of the Republican Convention daily.

Day three of the Republican Convention has ended.  So far I’ve seen Lardo Chris Christy act as the personification of greed and gluttony. I’ve witnessed Billionaire housewife Ann Romney pathetically proclaim to love women even while her husband and his running mate conspire to derail a woman's right to choice and healthcare and I’ve watched token African American Condoleeza Rice blame the current president for “Leading  from Behind” and failing to pass measures that Republicans vowed not to pass during the first term of Obama’s presidency.  Well maybe if George W. Bush lead from behind Osama bin Laden would have been dealt with during his term.

So why are women and gays clamoring to near orgasm in their support for candidates that have no intentions of serving them? It’s the conservative creed. If you are wealthy, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have access to abortion because you can easily travel to wherever it is legal and available {Europe}, same with healthcare and as far as marriage equality well if you know Harvey Levin creator of TMZ, well Harvey is gay and Republican, he constantly uses his television show to attack President Obama and has said that he doesn’t believe in marriage equality.
So there you have it, the overriding factor uniting these indivudla sis money and not a sense of social responsibility. The G.O.P has successfully convinced the least educated that the government is hindering their chance to become multi millionaires and should be eliminated, however who are they going to turn to when the “Horatio Algier” myth.
