ROBIN WILLIAMS (Lovelace / Ramon) is a celebrated performer who has received myriad honors for a body of work spanning standup, television, stage and film. Williams won an Oscar® for his performance in Gus Van Sant’s “Good Will Hunting,” and garnered previous Academy Award® nominations for his work in “The Fisher King,” “Dead Poets Society” and “Good Morning Vietnam.” He has also received six Golden Globe Awards, including the Cecil B. DeMille Award for outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment. Additionally, he shared the National Board of Review Best Actor Award with Robert De Niro for “Awakenings” and, in 2004, he received the prestigious Career Achievement Award from the Chicago International Film Festival. Williams was also recently honored with a 2011 Drama League Award nomination for Distinguished Performance for his Broadway acting debut as the lead character in Rajiv Joseph’s critically acclaimed play “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo.” His additional stage credits include a landmark production of Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot,” directed by Mike Nichols and co-starring Steve Martin, and “The Exonerated,” which tells the true stories of six innocent survivors of death row. His stand-up comedy, which marks the genesis of Williams’ career, has also garnered acclaim and awards. From 2008 to 2010, he performed his sold-out comedy tour “Weapons of Self Destruction” in 65 cities in the U.S., as well as London, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, grossing $40 million. Taped over two nights in Washington D.C., it also aired on HBO, becoming the network’s highest rated stand-up comedy special that year and earning three Emmy Award nominations, including one for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special. His sold-out 26-city, one-man tour in 2002 also culminated on Broadway and was filmed for HBO after Williams’ 16-year absence from stand-up. “Robin Williams: Live on Broadway” garnered five Emmy Award nominations. In addition, he has won five Grammy awards for the audio recordings of his stand-up shows and his children’s record, Pecos Bill. Williams has also received numerous nominations for his work as an actor in television, most recently in 2008 for a special guest appearance on “Law and Order: SVU.” His first Emmy nomination was for his performance as Mork from Ork on the popular television series “Mork & Mindy,” where he first captured the world’s attention. Trained at New York’s Juilliard School, Williams made his cinematic debut as the title character in Robert Altman’s “Popeye.” He followed up with starring roles in Paul Mazursky’s “Moscow on the Hudson,” and “The World According to Garp,” George Roy Hill’s adaptation of John Irving’s acclaimed bestselling novel. Most recently, Williams was seen starring in the dark comedy “World’s Greatest Dad,” which premiered to critical praise at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival; in “Old Dogs,” opposite John Travolta; and as Teddy Roosevelt in the hit “Night at the Museum” and its sequel, “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.” His filmography also includes the dramatic thrillers “Insomnia,” directed by Christopher Nolan, and Mark Romanek’s “One Hour Photo.” Among his many box office successes are Chris Columbus’ “Mrs. Doubtfire”; Mike Nichols’ “The Birdcage,” for which he earned a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award®, shared with the cast; Tom Shadyac’s “Patch Adams”; Steven Spielberg’s “Hook”; and Joe Johnston’s “Jumanji.” Williams lent his voice talents in creating the memorable character of the Genie in the blockbuster adventure “Aladdin,” Fendor in the 2005 animated feature “Robots,” and Ramon and Lovelace in George Miller’s Academy Award®-winning “Happy Feet.” Additionally, he was the voice of Dr. Know in Steven Spielberg’s “AI: Artificial Intelligence.” Offstage, Williams takes great joy in supporting philanthropic efforts around the world. Headlining a number of USO tours, he has traveled to Iraq and Afghanistan four times and is perhaps best known for his affiliation with “Comic Relief,” which was founded in 1986 and has, to date, raised over $50 million for America’s homeless. About the movie... The sequel to “Happy Feet,” the Academy Award®-winning animated smash hit, “Happy Feet Two” returns audiences to the magnificent landscape of Antarctica in superb 3D. Mumble, The Master of Tap, has a problem because his tiny son, Erik, is choreo-phobic. Reluctant to dance, Erik runs away and encounters The Mighty Sven—a penguin who can fly! Mumble has no hope of competing with this charismatic new role model. But things get worse when the world is shaken by powerful forces. Erik learns of his father’s guts and grit as Mumble brings together the penguin nations and all manner of fabulous creatures—from tiny Krill to giant Elephant Seals—to put things right. “Happy Feet Two” is directed by George Miller, who won an Oscar® as the creator of the original “Happy Feet.” The film features the voices of Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Hank Azaria, Alecia Moore (P!nk), Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Sofia Vergara, Common, Hugo Weaving, Richard Carter, Magda Szubanski, Anthony LaPaglia and Benjamin “Lil P-Nut” Flores, Jr. George Miller co-wrote the screenplay with Gary Eck, Warren Coleman and Paul Livingston. Miller is also producing the film, along with Doug Mitchell and Bill Miller. Chris deFaria, Philip Hearnshaw, Graham Burke and Bruce Berman serve as executive producers. The cinematographer is David Peers and the animation director is Rob Coleman. The film features vocals by P!nk, with music by John Powell. Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Village Roadshow Pictures, a Kennedy Miller Mitchell production, with Dr. D. Studios, a George Miller film, “Happy Feet Two.” The film will be presented in RealD 3D and IMAX 3D, and also in 2D. It has been rated PG for “rude humor and mild peril.”

Herman Cain refuses to reveal plans for Afghanistan until elected and other FNS Follies

[LESS INFO] 3 VIEWS | ADDED 00:00:01 05/23/11
I do love my pizza, but there are some things that a good slice can't help. How desperate is FOX News over the lack of GOP candidates that they devote an entire segment to a fringe candidate like Cain? Yes, he won a Frank Luntz focus group on Hannity after their GOP Debate Game Show on FOX, but does that warrant a full segment? "The Pizza Godfather" was embarrassing on FNS on a host of issues , but maybe he believes his pizza will help enlighten him. He won't disclose his Afghanistan policy until he's elected President because he doesn't have any Intel. Or something along those lines because he'll implement his plan only when he's sworn in and won't tell you what it is either. > Wallace: We have been at war in Afghanistan for almost ten years and yet you say, and you say it quite proudly that you have no plan for what to do in Afghanistan, you'd have to wait until you got into office, until you met with the experts, the military officials and then you'd decide it. Don't you owe it to the people who are thinking of voting for you to give them some idea about what you would do about a major US military involvement in Afghanistan? Cain: I do and here's what I owe them the right approach to make the right decisions such as we're not there for another ten years. Wallace: So what is the right approach? The right approach is the day I'm elected President I will start on that plan the day I'm sworn in, I'll emplement that plan Wallace: But that doesn't tell anybody what you, do you support counter insurgency or counter terrorism? Most of the interview went on like that. Cain proposes a flat tax of 23%, but Wallace told him that the Bushies looked at a flat tax plan in 2005 and said it would take something like 34% to ease budgetary concerns and Bush rejected it, but Cain responded by disputing their numbers. Wallace asked him why he's only got thirteen dollars in the bank for his campaign after fundraising 13K last quarter and he disputed those numbers as well, but wouldn't reveal what he has. As David noted earlier: Cain also seemed stumped when Wallace asked him about principle that Palestinians and their decedents have a right to return to land vacated as a result of the 1948 Palestine War and 1967 Six-Day war. > "Where do you stand on the right of return?" Wallace asked. "The right of return? The right of return?" Cain stammered. "The Palestinian right of return," Wallace clarified. The beltway media must be sad today since their new favorite, Mitch Daniels decided not to run . Will Herman Cain take his place in their hearts? Somehow I doubt it.

Only As Equals By Palestinian Poet Remi Kanazi

[LESS INFO] 7 VIEWS | ADDED 01:07:59 05/06/11
Palestinian poet Remi Kanazi performs his poem "Only as Equals" at Monkeywrench Books in Austin, Texas on 4/4/11. Remi Kanazi - a poet, writer, and activist based in New York City. Poetic Injustice is the long-awaited release by this Palestinian-American poet and it is a diverse mix of unabashed resistance poems. Laced with searing indictments of occupation, ethnic cleansing, and war, Remi tackles some of the most important issues facing the world today. Remi is also the editor of Poets For Palestine (Al Jisser Group, 2008). His political commentary has been featured by news outlets throughout the world, including Al Jazeera English, GRITtv with Laura Flanders, and BBC Radio. His poetry has taken him across North America, the UK, and the Middle East, and he recently appeared in the Palestine Festival of Literature as well as Poetry International. He is a recurring writer in residence and advisory board member for the Palestine Writing Workshop. Only as Equals: Every time I think of 9/11 I see burning flesh dripping off the bones of Iraqi children in Fallujah Now Gaza I tend to memorialize the forgotten The collateral damage eclipsing our unpunished crimes Maybe it’s because I’m a numbers guy Because if I had a dollar for every time an Iraqi died since 2003  I’d be a millionaire And don’t get me wrong Sometimes I don’t know who I hate more The governments in the West Or the politicians in the East Who sell their souls quicker than the oil they export Straw men who use Palestine as a tool to line their pockets And don’t give a nickel to their people Quisling governments Who stitch mouths shut for a check from Washington and AIPAC How can you be their prototypical anti-Semite If you are signing peace accords to oppress your own people? And then Orientalists and idiots talk about how We can’t have democracy in the Middle East Because of what happened in Gaza A Hamas boogyman wrapped in democratic elections Rahm Emanuel wants to educate me and my people about democracy gone wrong Why doesn’t he try implementing one Israel first? Instead of bowing down to terrorists like his father and the IDF Lauding a third rate, racist, European society that’s imploding quicker Than its moral standing in the world Enlightened like 1950s Afrikaners and slave traders Just because the house is beautiful Doesn’t mean the bones you built it on have fully decomposed The Israeli left is about as alive as Ariel Sharon I’m sick and tired of asking for permission to resist From antiquated leftists and progressives Who care more about keeping it Kosher than moving things forward I put down my pen and waving fist to resist with college kids and Palestinians Boycott and divest! Because who cares about preserving a living when governments are killing civilians Complicity by silence and reserve units bombing Gaza Your academics and scholars, theater groups and practitioners, are part of the problem And if logic doesn’t fit into your long term plan of rejecting My right to return, I’m sorry Maybe one day you’ll return to reality Where my people have babies quicker Than Zionists can concoct Jordanian options I don’t want your sympathy or introspective confessions Won’t sit on my hands till they loose oxygen Like the people of Balata and Rafah Vote for Barack Obama And pretend that his 22 day silence was golden While emaciated children starved to death Surrounded by their parent’s corpses This can’t be America the Beautiful A criminal with a few positive attributes Doesn’t alleviate genocide Bombing Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq Into oblivion doesn’t make you historic It makes you as blind and bloodthirsty As the white men that came before you Apathetic hipsters now excited about a presidentWho broke history, but not poverty, occupation, or corporate interests I’d rather proudly walk through the graveyard of peace accords And failed dialogue sessions Than see my people just as occupied or third class citizens We are the gavel that will slam down like a verdict We are not waiting for Israel or America or the Supreme Court to approve it We’ll boycott Lev Leviev, Caterpillar and your apartheid companies We’re taking back the right of return and the keys to a country Because we never asked you to go back to Europe or sit in open air prisons I’m not asking for your advice, I’m explaining the decision You can stay here, with us, but only as equals It’s not that you’re Israeli, it’s that you’re wrong That’s why I fight for my people!
