A Brief History of Your New Wonder Woman, Adrianne Palicki

27-year-old actress Adrianne Palicki is your new Wonder Woman/Diana Prince/Diana Themyscira — but who is Adrianne Palicki? The statuesque Ohio native has been a presence in TV of late, though even her most critically acclaimed shows ( Friday Night Lights, Lone Star ) tend to run into bad luck sooner or later. And curiously, she’s already had more than her fair share of brushes with fantasy/superhero franchises. ( Aquaman , anyone?) Take a look at the brief history of Adrianne Palicki’s acting career thus far and decide if you think she’s fit to fill out Lynda Carter’s pantyhose.

Great Day For Movie Lovers: Martin Scorsese and 5 Other Singular Directors Announce New Projects

Somewhere in between false rumors about an Olivia Wilde Tomb Raider reboot and hopefully untrue speculation about another Terminator sequel , six interesting directors including Martin Scorsese, Richard Kelly and Kimberly Pierce announced new projects today. Thanks, movie-news Gods! Granted, not all of these projects will necessarily turn out well (or even at all), but if past work is any indication, the ones that crash and burn will at least do so in a unique, fascinating and hopefully spectacular fashion (Looking at you, Kelly…). Click through for a rundown and place bets on your favorites.

The Magic of Words

Written by Ken_SayersDaily Journal (Opinion)Nov 17, 2010 Yesterday, NPR’s “Morning Edition” magically transported me back to 1974, to when I first watched the Mel Brook’s classic, “Blazing Saddles.” I was reminded of the scene where the town discovered that Cleavon Little, the man they had hired to be the new sheriff, was black. Cleavon, upon seeing that his life was in danger, pulled his gun and threatened to shoot himself. It was hilarious. Sadly, the magical transportation of yesterday was any thing but hilarious. I found myself listening to some yoyo news reporter talk about how unfortunate it was that Obama could not get his message out, to the public, about all the [fine] things he did for the people of this country. I cannot believe that I am the only one who saw the irony of his statements—as if it was Obama’s fault that the reporter did not do his job. During the time that there was a debate in congress over health care, the media never pointed out that there are other countries in the world that have universal health care and it works. The media never pointed out that if our health care system is so great, why do we have the shortest life span of all the developed countries in the world, or why we have the highest infant mortality rate. The whole time, we heard not one word about how we are the only country in the world that ties health care to the workplace. There was not one intelligent discussion, in the media, about the insanity of measuring an employee’s value to a company by considering that employee’s health costs. NO, the only thing you heard were the Republican rants of death squads and the threat of Socialism. The Republicans pointed to their own failures, like taking care of the low-income victims of Katrina, as an example of how the government could not be trusted to run health care. The performance of the main-stream media was remarkable. They shaped public opinion exactly the way they were supposed to shape it. Did I say shaped? Forgive me, I never meant to indicate they have stopped. They took an election where a very low percentage of the electorate voted and that have magically transformed that into a mandate to destroy this country. They are helping narcissistic idiots gain control of this country and they are not even smart enough to see the danger they created. Journalists should be required to take a lot of history and economics, but then we all know the real problem. The media is owned by the corporations, about whom it should be reporting. Oh well, as I have said before, “The joke is on us.” http://dailycensored.com/2010/11/17/the-magic-of-words/?utm_source=feedburner&am… :+Dailycensored+(Daily+Censored) added by: treewolf39

GLOBAL POLITICAL AWAKENING: DA Now Sending Deputies to SF Airport to Investigate Felony Groping

http://globalpoliticalawakening.blogspot.com/2010/11/da-now-sending-deputies-to-… Video and audio of Alex’s interview will be posted here shortly. Appearing on the Alex Jones Show today, incoming chief deputy DA of San Mateo Steve Wagstaffe said his office will prosecute TSA employees who engage in lewd and lascivious behavior while conducting Homeland Security mandated patdowns at the San Francisco International Airport in San Mateo County. “The case would be reviewed and if we could prove the elements of it, that it was inappropriately done with a sexual or lewd intent, that person would be prosecuted,” Wagstaffe told the Berman Post on Tuesday. Wagstaffe told Alex Jones that county police will be sent to into the San Francisco International Airport. If they witness TSA employees engaged in criminal conduct, they will make arrests and the DA’s office will prosecute. Sexual battery in Mateo County is a felony if the molestation occurs beneath clothing and makes contact with skin and a misdemeanor if the touching occurs outside clothing. The new government mandated hands-on searches are used for passengers who find naked body inappropriate, when something suspicious appears in screening, or randomly. They can take two minutes per passenger and involve sliding of the hands along the length of the body, along thighs and near the groin and breasts, according to the Associated Press. In addition, a district attorney in the county south of San Mateo, Santa Clara, told Wagstaffe his office will also prosecute TSA employees for inappropriate sexual behavior at the San Jose International Airport. Since the new search procedures went into effect, the web has exploded in opposition to naked body scanners and intrusive patdowns. Reports posted by the The Drudge Report, Infowars.com, and Prison Planet.com have gone viral on the internet and forced the mainstream corporate media to cover the issue. “Nationwide outrage against the TSA is not only bringing to light new cases of airport abuse, it’s throwing fresh attention on previous incidents that have been going on for years,” Paul Joseph Watson wrote on Wednesday. Watson notes several lawsuits initiated against the TSA, including one connected to a 2008 incident at the Corpus Christi airport where the TSA exposed a young woman’s breasts. Coverage of TSA groping and public outrage has resulted in airports around the country reconsidering the procedures. Earlier today, Orlando Sanford International Airport decided to opt out from TSA screening. Larry Dale, the director of the Sanford Airport Authority in Florida, said he will send a letter requesting to opt out from TSA screening, and instead the airport will choose one of the five approved private screening companies to take over, according to central Florida’s WDBO. “The outcry is huge,” Texas Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison told the TSA administrator, John Pistole, at a Capitol Hill hearing yesterday. “I know that you’re aware of it. But we’ve got to see some action.” “I’m not going to change those policies,” Pistole promised. added by: GLOBALPOLITICAL
