This election cycle conservatives are intoxicated with immigrant bashing, particularly pregnant immigrant women and their children. Their tactic: change the U.S. Constitution to deny citizenship to babies born in this country to undocumented women. This is a cynical strategy that explicitly targets Latino communities—the fastest-growing segment of the electorate. These desperate politicians would rather get rid of these new voters than do the hard work of cultivating them. In their quest for power they will do or say anything to get elected. This is also an ugly strategy fueled by sexism and racism. It taps into a long history of population control—government efforts to curb growth among disfavored populations. During slavery, the children slaveowners sired with their slaves were deemed slaves themselves who could be sold as chattel, thereby increasing the wealth of the owner rather than the size of his family. Chinese women in the 1800s were labeled prostitutes and denied visas to join their husbands who labored on our railroads. And black women, Native American women, and Latinas were routinely sterilized either without their knowledge or without their consent as recently as the 1970s.

Then the actor hit David Letterman looking even more of a mess and in an infamously awkward interview, revealed he was breaking into the rap biz. Brother-in-law Casey Affleck has been recording Phoenix’s alleged efforts to become a rap star and with his film I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix finally set to debut at the Venice Film Festival next month, many are crying hoax, while others are simply tagging the effort a mockumentary. After a recent screening of the film for potential buyers, an LA Times source revealed that the film features the Oscar nominee “snorting cocaine, ordering call girls, having oral sex with a publicist, treating his assistants abusively and rapping badly” and offers “more male full frontal nudity than a gay porn movie.” And that’s not even the worst of it!

[HuffPo] ● Rooney Mara scored the coveted spot of Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Instantly, she is famous.

[Celebuzz] ● The realest of the New Jersey Housewives, Danielle Staub—she of fake lesbian relationship and “prostitution whore!” fame—was asked to leave the show, probably because she’s making everyone really sad. [PopEater] ● Motorcycle man and fan of mistresses Jesse James might be dating tattoo-girl Kat Von D or they just spend a lot of time showing each other their break-up ink. [People]

… HMG) – So was it all a stunt or did Joaquin Phoenix really kind of go off his rocker? The movie trailer for I’m Still Here, by director Casey Affleck (who happens to be Phoenix’s brother-in-law), chronicles the now-retired star’s bizarre behavior, in a variety of situations, as he spends most of 2008 attempting to jump-start a hip hop career. Beside the infamous space cadet act on the Late Show with David Letterman, according to buyers who have seen the film, Phoenix is also seen snorting lots of cocaine, ordering call girls, having oral sex with a publicist, treating his assistants abusively beside rapping badly. In June, the project landed a distribution deal with Magnolia Pictures and will arrive in theaters nationwide Sept. 10. I guess were all supposed to decide if this was all a prank or not. I am expecting this film to be a total flop, what do you think?

The film is being pitched as a mockumentary and reportedly shows Phoenix “snorting cocaine, ordering call girls, having oral sex with a publicist, treating his assistants abusively and rapping badly.” Sounds interesting to say the very least.

Conservative radio talk shows and FOX cable television hosts have had the enemies of our Republic on the ropes lately and paranoia is definitely alive and well on the left. They are beginning to blame and snipe at each other. The one thing I failed to mention in my last article is that the liberal talk show host out of the San Francisco is also calling for the resignation of what he considers the worst presidential press secretary ever – Robert Gibbs. Shortly after Obama was elected, Andrew Breitbart and his two young assistants exposed how Obama’s community organizing group called ACORN could be used for an alleged prostitution business. And now Breitbart can be credited for releasing a taped snippet of Sherrod addressing the NAACP that caused a firestorm in the Obama administration and her immediate firing from the Department of Agriculture. Thanks to another research friend, I have received additional information about Shirley Sherrod that the mainline media prefers to ignore.

… When my daughter called and said it was on the news, it gave me a sense of hope,” he said. “And I thought, yes, yes maybe this is the final piece to the puzzle. Maybe this is something that the families of both the identified and the missing can have something to put their teeth into and hold onto.” Michelle Valdez, then 26, was last seen alive September 2004. She had told her sister she was going to California. Her father reported her missing in February 2005. Jane Perea, who lost her 15-year-old daughter Jamie Barela, had a message for whoever the killer may be. “If we don’t get you, you’ll pay with God because you took a very big part of us away, part of my life I’ll never get back. She was only 15. She never hurt nobody ever,” said Perea. Albuquerque police Chief Ray Schultz had said that his department was investigating men who hired prostitutes and were prone to violence. He had said the killer was mostly likely a man who acted alone, but would not elaborate.

… The Beamz immediately draws you in when you see it…both from a visual and musical standpoint,” says Scott Kusmirek, drummer for Vinyl Station. “My first thought when I saw it was, ‘What is that?’ I was intrigued as I watched people playing the light.

… I’m Still Here” Don’t worry guys. Joaquin Phoenix is still here. Albeit a little more disheveled and poopy than usual. Explain the poopy part, you demand incredulously? Okay, okay. Calm down. I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix will feature him: “Snorting cocaine, ordering call girls, having oral sex with a publicist, treating his assistants abusively and rapping badly. Several buyers said the film overflowed with Hollywood debauchery, including more male frontal nudity than you’d find in some gay porn films and a stomach-turning sequence in which someone feuding with Phoenix defecates on the actor while he’s asleep.” Bring the family!
