ConChrist: The School You Go To Does Not Make You Any Smarter Or Better Than Anyone Else
http://conchrist.blogspot.com/2011/01/school-you-go-to-does-not-make-you-any.html
Where Politics and Pop Culture Sometimes Meet. Saturday, January 8, 2011. The School You Go To Does Not Make You Any Smarter Or Better Than Anyone Else. You would think that would be common sense, but some people. Apparently didn't get that memo. I don't know at what point Michael Medved went from reviewing movies to having his own column, but I felt like if I didn't comment on this stupidity that I was going to explode. So why should someone look their nose down at me just because my degrees aren't as "...

ConChrist: You Find the Weirdest Stuff When You Google Yourself
http://conchrist.blogspot.com/2010/05/you-find-weirdest-stuff-when-you-google.html
Where Politics and Pop Culture Sometimes Meet. Monday, May 10, 2010. You Find the Weirdest Stuff When You Google Yourself. I was looking to see if any papers had any announcements from my graduation from Keene State College online, and after not having luck with my search string I just decided to put my maiden name in. Then there was this entry. It's an academic book on the history of erotic thrillers called The Erotic Thriller in Contemporary Cinema. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Save the sea kitt...

ConChrist: I Would Rather Watch A Good Foreign Film Than a Bad American One
http://conchrist.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-would-rather-watch-good-foreign-film.html
Where Politics and Pop Culture Sometimes Meet. Monday, January 25, 2010. I Would Rather Watch A Good Foreign Film Than a Bad American One. It's another post on "Death Note," this time on the three movies that were released a few years ago. The trailers and the scenes that I saw online didn't do the films justice. They were really well done, and I was highly impressed with the work behind it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). You Can Now Read Me On Kindle! Franklin, NH, United States. And Now, The News.

ConChrist: First Amendment
http://conchrist.blogspot.com/2010/01/first-amendment.html
Where Politics and Pop Culture Sometimes Meet. Sunday, January 10, 2010. I'm looking at my last two posts, and I realized how much I've been occupied with First Amendment issues. As a future English teacher, it's something I have to keep in mind when assigning literature - First Amendment issues and appropriateness. It's all about knowing your kids and what they can handle (and what you are comfortable with what you think they can handle). I wish more parents did this rather than just put a blanket over ...

ConChrist: Anime, Manga, Etc: "Death Note"
http://conchrist.blogspot.com/2010/01/anime-manga-etc-death-note.html
Where Politics and Pop Culture Sometimes Meet. Saturday, January 9, 2010. Anime, Manga, Etc: "Death Note". I had bought the first two volumes of this manga series for my 15 year old stepson for Christmas called "Death Note." After reading the back of the books (and seeing that it was rated for older teens) I thought it sounded like an interesting story, and was something that my stepson could handle (mangas and animes I kind of keep an eye out for because there's a lot that are really aimed at adults).

ConChrist: Another Great Moment in Censorship
http://conchrist.blogspot.com/2010/05/another-great-moment-in-censorship.html
Where Politics and Pop Culture Sometimes Meet. Friday, May 7, 2010. Another Great Moment in Censorship. Doesn't surprise me that this is in Florida. Longwood parent Tina Harden was so disturbed by references to sex and drugs and foul language in the world of fictional teenager Jenny Humphrey that she is ignoring overdue notices and phone calls from her neighborhood library and its bill collector. Harden refuses to return several books connected to the Gossip Girl. Harden said she doesn't want them banned.

ConChrist: Thank You, NH, for SB 500!
http://conchrist.blogspot.com/2011/04/thank-you-nh-for-sb-500.html
Where Politics and Pop Culture Sometimes Meet. Friday, April 8, 2011. Thank You, NH, for SB 500! To all the posts that I did on this). Well, Floyd is about to be let free 9 months early. Because of a law that was passed recently called SB500. Which is why I'm now puzzled by why Floyd was allowed to be released. He threatened people, including a state trooper in the courtroom when he was on trial. He might not have done anything, but doesn't that preclude the idea that he's a violent offender? The neighbo...

ConChrist: "True Blood" Season 4 Has Started
http://conchrist.blogspot.com/2011/06/true-blood-season-4-has-started.html
Where Politics and Pop Culture Sometimes Meet. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. True Blood" Season 4 Has Started. My fix is back. And so far, not disappointed after watching the first two episodes. Wait," you're saying, "the first TWO? For those not in the know, for HBO subscribers, HBO GO. Has the second episode posted already. So if you need your fix you can go there and watch it now. I'm sure this world will be revisited later in the season, or at least the concept of these troll-like faeries will. I kno...

ConChrist: On "South Park" and Censorship
http://conchrist.blogspot.com/2010/04/on-south-park-and-censorship.html
Where Politics and Pop Culture Sometimes Meet. Thursday, April 22, 2010. On "South Park" and Censorship. I've been dealing with a backache and allergies since yesterday, so this is the first chance I've had to make a comment on this. Trey Parker and Matt Stone - YOU ROCK! But here's a bit of history before we get into talking about this episode:. This brings us to Wednesday night. The episode "201" is about to air. The episode's going along fine. Then you might have noticed something right away. Because ...

ConChrist: Rep. Nick Levasseur (D-umbass)
http://conchrist.blogspot.com/2010/03/rep-nick-levasseur-d-umbass.html
Where Politics and Pop Culture Sometimes Meet. Saturday, March 27, 2010. Rep Nick Levasseur (D-umbass). Considering how much of an anime fan I am, I had to post about how ignorant this comment was. Rep Nick Levasseur (D-Manchester) made a comment on Facebook about anime and the Japanese in general that can be seen as rather xenophobic. Let WMUR-TV. Enlighten you in this clip. (h/t FARK.com. At least he didnt call a fag a fag. THAT would have been the WORST. March 28, 2010 at 11:54 AM. Thoughts On A Sunday.
