Burns' PBS National Parks: Wonders For All to Behold

Posted by nancylove on Sunday, September 27, 2009 10:24:22 PM
We couldn't have picked a better wholesale nfl jerseys time to start watching my advance press copy of Ken Burns' new PBS series on the national parks: We'd just visited Glacier Bay in Alaska. It may well be the ultimate gem of the National Park system, even though relatively few ever get up there to see it. One is left shaking one's head in disbelief after seeing this wondrous and still-pristine park, and how little man has intruded into it - unlike, say, Yosemite. Burns' 12-hour, 6-part Dallas Cowboys Jerseys series, aptly named, The National Parks: America's Best Idea, starts Sunday night on PBS and runs all next week. You should try to watch it in hi-def, but do watch it. This inspirational new series also about the right length, as opposed to two earlier Burns opuses, Jazz (Wynton Marsalis' and Burns' hyperextended homage to Satchmo) and the ridiculous, seemingly interminable Baseball, which ran for more hours than a home-and-away Carolina Panthers jerseys series -- travel included. Given the rapaciousness of today's fixers and entrepreneurs and the anything-to-make-a-buck mentality fostered by Ronald Reagan and most of his successors, it's somewhat amazing the National Parks are even still in existence and free of oil and gas leases, to say nothing of clear-cutting. Not that the past few years have been easy on these irreplaceable parks: Most are badly underfunded and Cincinnati Bengals Jerseys have been treated like unwanted orphans. (e.g., the main visitors' center at little-visited but lovely Lassen National Park in California is about the same size as a mobile home).

Sarah Palin Slams Bailouts in Hong Kong Speech

Posted by nancylove on Wednesday, September 23, 2009 11:12:10 PM
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin reemerged onto the world stage yesterday as she gave her first paid speech since resigning from the governor's office in July. Palin spoke to a meeting of investment fund managers in Hong Kong. Although the event was closed to the media, Bloomberg News obtained a tape of the speech and reported that Palin discussed the role of the Federal Reserve, U.S.-China relations and her objections to the bailouts of banks and other industries by the government. On the bailouts, she said, "It sends the message that the bigger that you are, the more problems that you get yourself into, the more likely the government is to bail you out." She added, "Of course the little guys are left out then. We're left holding the bag, all the moms and pops all over America." Palin also criticized the role of the Federal Reserve in overseeing financial markets. "How can we think that setting up the Fed as monitor of systemic risk in the financial sector will result in meaningful reform?" she said. "The words 'fox' and 'henhouse' come to mind." Bloomberg also quoted her as taking China to task for its record on human rights, but also saying that it could be a valuable trading partner. "We need China to improve the rule of law and protect intellectual property," she said. "In the end, though, our economic relationship will truly thrive when Chinese citizens and foreign corporations can hold the Chinese government accountable when their actions are unjust."

Neil Patrick Harris Saves the Emmys

Posted by nancylove on Monday, September 21, 2009 9:17:52 PM
Was there any doubt that Neil wholesale watches Patrick Harris would make a great Emmys host? No. Even so, wasn't he great last night? Making do with just the few short minutes he was given between the distribution of awards to people who win them every year, he was was funny and classy and kept things moving. The tone- setting opening number was excellent and over too soon (we certainly wouldn't have minded if it had been extended into a fifteen-minute Jackman-style montage and replaced the presentation of a few of the non-time-shifted writing awards). All banter was sharp ("Unbelievable. Upsets at every turn," he Baume Mercier watchesobserved after The Amazing Race won its seventh consecutive Emmy for Reality-Competition Program), and even when it wasn't, he made us laugh ("That was funny!" he informed the audience, dancing, after a bit bombed). His loss to Jon Cryer for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy was sort of a crime, but if he'd won we wouldn't have gotten to see him heckle Cryer in the press room. How good was he? Good enough to Bregue watches make hosts of other previous award shows retroactively embarrassed. Jeff Probst, winner last night for Best Reality Host and one of the terrible emcees of last year's telecast, told the crowd, "This is how you host the Emmys" during his own acceptance speech. And Jon Stewart, accepting for Best Variety Show, added, "These shows — we've all been to a lot of these. They usually suck. But you've been great." We suppose we could've done without the made-up résumés he gave presenters as he introduced them, and the Corum watches contest-winner-with-obstructed-seats bit wore a little thin, but those are small quibbles.
