I don't go to New Jersey very often, but my blog had to make a virtual visit for this story. Last Friday Jersey City made Keith Olbermann's Worst Person in the World. Even worse than O'Reilly being his usual self and Michelle Malkin's role in the arrest of an Iraqi police officer, JC's Deputy Mayor Ador Equipado took top honors. What was his offense you ask?

I would sum up this as being a grade-A scumbag. Before performing a civil marriage ceremony, Equipado gave the bride and her mother applications for his privately owned phone service. After the couple waved off his sales attempts Donnell Morrison and the groom became man and wife. Unfortunately the Deputy Mayor continued his harassment.

More at my blog and at the Jersey Journal.

Welcome to our first ever Blog-In theater.

Thanks to the treasure trove of public domain movies I have found on Video.Google, I am going to make it a point for us to have a saturday matinées at the blog.

This is similar to what I have started at culturekitchen. Over there though, I can run a chat (you need to be a member to participate). Over here what we can do is do a "live-commenting" event Sunday afternoon ... OR ... if you are on AIM, we can do a chat using that and then posting the results on the site.

Back to the movie.

This is the original eco-terrorist and nuclear mutant-freak Godzilla; not the saviour of Japan reinvented in the 1960s. It has a very young Raymond Burr as, Steve Martin (the irony!) the American documentarian of this iguanadonian catastrophe. It oozes post-WW2 cheeziness through each reel hole.
