Disney and Robert Zemeckis are looking to catch the wave of Beatlemania, floating a new 3-D “Yellow Submarine” for the bigscreen, with merchandising in tow and prospects for spinning off both a Broadway musical and a Cirque du Soleil stage production. Disney hopes to have the film ready to premiere around the 2012 Summer Olympics. The deal has been months in the making, with armies of Blue Meanies — er, lawyers — sorting out the complicated rights clearances necessary to remake the 1968 psychedelic toon. Key to the deal is Zemeckis’ access to 16 classic Beatles tunes, ranging from the title song to “Baby You’re a Rich Man,” “All You Need Is Love,” “When I’m 64,” “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” – From Variety
This is the most exciting thing ive heard all day! How many days till it comes out in 2012??
On the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, there is a ceremony called Tashlich. Jews traditionally go to the ocean or a stream or river to pray and throw bread crumbs into the water. Symbolically, the fish devour their sins. Occasionally, people ask what kind of bread crumbs should be thrown. Here are suggestions for breads which may be most appropriate for specific sins and misbehaviors. ~~~~~ For ordinary sins…………………White Bread For complex sins………………….Multigrain For twisted sins………………….Pretzels For sins of indecision…………….Waffles For sins committed in haste………..Matzoh For sins of chutzpah………………Fresh Bread For substance abuse……………….Stoned Wheat For use of heavy drugs…………….Poppy Seed For petty larceny…………………Stollen For committing auto theft………….Caraway For timidity/cowardice…………….Milk Toast For tasteless sins………………..Rice Cakes For ill-temperedness………………Sourdough For silliness, eccentricity………..Nut Bread For not giving full value………….Shortbread For unnecessary chances……………Hero Bread For war-mongering…………………Kaiser Rolls For jingoism, chauvinism…………..Yankee Doodles For excessive irony……………….Rye Bread For erotic sins…………………..French Bread For particularly dark sins…………Pumpernickel For dressing immodestly……………Tarts For racist attitudes………………Crackers For causing injury to others……….Tortes For sophisticated racism…………..Ritz Crackers For being holier than thou…………Bagels For abrasiveness………………….Grits For dropping in without notice……..Popovers For overeating……………………Stuffing For impetuosity…………………..Quick Bread For indecent photography…………..Cheesecake For raising your voice too often……Challah For pride and egotism……………..Puff Pastry For sycophancy, brown-nosing……….Brownies For being overly smothering………..Angel Food Cake For laziness……………………..Any long loaf For trashing the environment……….Dumplings … and my personal favorite: For telling bad jokes/puns…………Corn Bread

It is the opposite of ironic that the Value Voters Summit is occurring during Rosh Hashanah. Im sure this was a problem for the one Jew who really wanted to go to this Conservative Christian “Value Voters” summit!
NBC’s Chuck Todd being scolded at a White House breifing.
The most ridiculous part is that Glenn Beck used this video to complain about government control, complaining that the White House is now telling us how to sneeze! crazy conservatives…
You’ve committed your life to Jesus. You know you’re saved. But when the Rapture comes what’s to become of your loving pets who are left behind? Eternal Earth-Bound Pets takes that burden off your mind.
riiiiiiiiiight.
But really, why would I trust scruffy here with any of those non-believers that get the best privilege to stay on this earth without those who are crazy enough to believe they’ll be raptured?
Life is Beautiful. One of my favorite movies. It made the touchy and deeply saddening topic of the Holocaust a touching story with some very good comedy. Roberto Benigni is just so good in this.
