The Tenth Planet

Here is an important and powerful film, The Tenth Planet. It is a new premiere film on SnagFilms.com.

It is a  true to life female perspective about life in Baghdad and a perspective that is authentic and unique and not one that mainstream media reports to us on a daily basis via the news. I enjoyed this film a lot. I learned a lot as well.

Niceness As A Competitive Weapon

We are NOT ugly Americans. We can and would be great hosts to an Olympic games here in the United States. Click this link for an article that makes me say, “Huh?!”

NBC would love the United States to host the games.

Our citizens would love us to host an Olympics games here, too.

We as a country should mobilize to bid for the games and I really and sincerely think Washington DC/Baltimore would be a perfect spot to host a summer games. We have Verizon Center; Patriot Center; Comcast Center; Nationals Stadium; RFK; Redskins Stadium; Orioles Park; Ravens Stadium; a national aquatic center; a beautiful river; and many colleges for dorm housing. And in the summer, the traffic is less and tourists are here in record numbers.

Our President and our organizing committees should rally around the flag and bid for an Olympic games. Our local community should embrace that challenge as well. We have the infrastructure and capacity to handle the Games. Don’t forsake us. We are nice and deserving.
