| Eddie Murphy falls to Earth in misguided comedy | | 2008-07-11 03:04:49 | | LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The last time Eddie Murphy visited from outer space, the result was the spectacular 2002 misfire, "The Adventures of Pluto Nash."In the case of "Meet Dave," in which Murphy pulls double duty as the minuscule commander of a mission from an endangered planet in addition to assuming the guise of its life-size spacecraft, the goofy setup alone keeps it a safe distance from Golden Raspberry territory.That said, this sci-fi romp seriously skimps on the sort of wacky comedy that should have flown liberally from such an inspired premise -- especially one that was co-written by Bill Corbett, of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" cult renown.Reteaming with "Norbit" director Brian Robbins, Murphy tries some sharp physical comedy on for size, and though he's terrific (especially as that space ship), too often the Fox vehicle is content to meet the jokes halfway.Still, like most of Murphy's recent output, the movie aims low -- as in, the targeted pint-sized audience -... | | By: A Pakistan News | | |
| | | Our misguided faith in non-political experts | | 2007-09-15 07:20:59 | | One of the more depressing things about us is the way we are so overawed by experts. Fully 55% of you, according to a recent poll in the Daily Telegraph, applaud Gordon Brown’s decision to bring non-political experts into his ministry; only 17% think it a bad idea.

| The misguided loyalty of the president’s men | | 2007-09-08 07:01:54 | | The Bush administration is under fire from yet another old employee. The critic this time is the former US Surgeon General Richard Carmona. Addressing a recent congressional committee, the man who held the post of the “nation’s doctor” between 2002 and 2006, alleged that he had been instructed to mention the president at least [...]... | | By: Robs Place | | |
| | Global Warming: Legitimate Fear or Misguided Popular Hysteria? | | 2007-06-21 16:04:15 | | Check out this very thought provoking article regarding the thought, and also the lack thereof, behind the current global warming debate and discourse.
The article’s author, R. Timothy Patterson, is professor and director of the Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Centre, Department of Earth Sciences, Carleton University.
His conclusion: global cooling based on sunspot cycles is the more likely danger to human productivity over the coming 25 years.
In this debate, like all others, it is important to use reason and disciplined science rather than fear mongering and popular slogans in order to prove your point. If you are one who bases your thoughts and actions on the prevailing popular dogma, it may be time to rethink your approach to gathering knowledge and wisdom. It’s in your own best interest.

| | Lexus LS 600h L: The Misguided Hybrid | | 2007-06-14 07:42:00 | | If solar panels on Al Gore’s 20-room mansion and Vanity Fair’s 300-page annual green issue make you feel queasy about the eco-chic spin on our sustained environmental and energy crisis, then the Lexus LS 600h L might make you feel downright nauseous.The Top 10 list of why the Lexus LS 600h L is the most bizarre and misguided hybrid:A hybrid powertrain on a 5-liter V8 engine.430 horsepower (equivalent of 6-liter V12).City/highway mileage rating in the low 20s.70-percent cleaner emissions than the “cleanest†of its V8 competitors.Noise and vibration levels are about half of conventional cars. (“This is the kind of vehicle that travels slightly detached from the road, the local environment, and anyone else that doesn’t have a near 7-digit income,†writes Art Vatsky in AutoBlogGreen.) Since you can’t hear anything outside the cabin, the vehicle uses two-cameras and a radar system to detect approaching objects and humans.
