Right Wing Fanatics

And the wingnuts finally got to Benicio for "Che"

Ché has drained the hotness out of Benicio del Toro.

Beno is looking quite fug these days, and honestly, am not shocked. The man has been traveling all around the world selling his movie. I get exhausted looking at pictures of him lately.

It doesn't help that the man has exceptionally sexy eyebags, but my blog, the extra weight, the shabby suits and really, really exhausted look on his face just leaves me drained. I am sure it is not helping that he seems to believe he can continue his ... ahem ... notorious drinking habit and hard partying ways at his age.

Beno, dude, you're getting too old for that shit.

Anyhow ...

It must the rough to have to lug your shit around the globe for a project you've spent 7 years researching, 1 filming and shooting and another year selling. Selling a controversial movie, shot completely in Spanish,  the old school Hollywood way instead going the way of the digital guerrilla.

Especially after winning in Cannes that Palm D'Or ---which, by the way, had a jury facilitated by his friend Sean Penn and the mother of one of the victims of his tragic taste in women, Catherine Deneuve. And double especially after he was wrongly denied nominations for the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, Film Producers Guild and Oscars.

So it's no wonder he had it with the journalist from the Washington Times, that venerable basation of right-wing journalism owned by the Moonies and loved by the wingnutosphere.

Washington Times - 'Che' spurs debate, Del Toro walkout
"I'm getting uncomfortable," Benicio del Toro said after fielding a question about his new movie's portrayal of the Bolivian and Cuban revolutions. "I'm done. I'm done, I hope you write whatever you want. I don't give a damn."

I had to address this article since it's doing the rounds in the gossip blogs and now the right-wing blogs. It seems it's author is patting himself for ambushing Benicio with wanker Goldfard also celebrating.

Well ...

Christians Praying to the Golden Bull For Money

I kid you not. A bunch of right wing fanatics are holding a day of prayer for economic prosperity and decided to go down to Wall Street and worship the Golden Bull:

I mean, I may be a poor Jew, but to me this is basic idolatry here!

For the record, it isn't just me. My Catholic co-worker's response was, appropriately, "Oh...My..God! What are they DOING?"

QUOTES

Intellectual Property Rights block technology transfer and TRIPS (trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights) promote monopolies on seeds and medicines and piracy of Third World biodiversity and indigenous knowledge.

That is why we had to fight WR Grace and USDA to revoke the Neem Patent, we had to fight Ricetec to prevent them claiming our basmati as their invention. And we have successfully fought

The rules of The World Trade Organization were designed to impoverish poor people and poor countries, transform their biodiversity and water commons into corporate property so that seed multi-national corporations like Monsanto could sell us our seeds for $1 tr. per year and water giants like Suez and Bechtel could sell us our water for another trillion. And the free trade rules of agriculture are robbing Indian peasants of $1 trillion per year through falling prices because of $400 billion subsidies in rich countries distorting trade by distorting prices.

This is not just a recipe for poverty, it is a recipe for genocide. In the free trade world that Bhagwati upholds, peasants sell kidneys to pay debt for poisons, displaced rural women sell their bodies to feed their children, hospitals become centers of organ theft, and India which sold the finest fabrics and tastiest spices to the world becomes the dumping ground for the toxic wste of 9/11 and the exploded and unexploded shells from the war in Afganistan and Iraq.

Free trade is becoming a mechanism to take our wealth, our biodiversity, our minerals, our brains and give us trash and toxic in exchange. It is an exchange of "bads" for "goods". This is not comparative advantage, it is loot. Which is why we say, "Our World is not for sale".
