Spielberg to give Obama 'ambassador to humanity' award |
2014-04-10 |
I'm sure the list of past awardees is nothing less than stunning. Per Wikipedia: Founded by Mr. Spielberg in 1999 with the state mission: "The original aim of the Foundation was to record testimonies of survivors and other witnesses of the Holocaust (which in Hebrew is called the Shoah) as a collection of videotaped interviews." In January 2006, the Foundation partnered with and relocated to the University of Southern California and was renamed the USC Shoah Foundation Institute for Visual History and Education. Its mission is "to overcome prejudice, intolerance, and bigotry - and the suffering they cause - through the educational use of the Institute's visual history testimonies.". Nice morph, eh?

#21 It's Hemingway Angelton9 Holder-of-Many-Nyms-With-Lousy-Prose*. I'd use something stronger than "silly", but I'm not very charitable. Or tolerant. Yes, Pappy dear, I know all of that. But I'm quite certain I lack much of your vocabulary. And sometimes silly does not mean funny faces and giggling when I use it. |

#19 Obama certainly has Spielberg and the Hollywood crowd duped. Obama has done nothing for Israel (or the U.S.). |

#15 I wonder how long it takes for the Cool-aid effects to wear off? Will Spielberg regret this nonsense in a decade or less? |

#6 Ever ask yourself WHY Obama's mother was in Indonesia where she got pregnant? You mean for the president's younger half-siblings? Because she was married to an Indonesian man whose job was in Indonesia. Surely you aren't silly enough to mean when she was pregnant with the dear little future president -- all the biographers agree she was on Hawaii, except the Kenyan grandmother, who is quite sure she witnessed the birth in Kenya. So in answer to your question, my dear Big Thromoth3646, no, never wondered even a little bit. Sorry. |

#5 Ever ask yourself WHY Obama's mother was in Indonesia where she got pregnant? Is that where? Maybe it was someplace else. Who was paying the bills at that time? Was "Frank" paying the bills or some other guy? Oh, the Award? I can't read Booga. Maybe if you hold it upside down. |
