My mom's family owned and operated the newspaper in Post, TX from 1957 until my grandfather passed away in 1981. Everyone in the family wrote for the paper, including my mom (Susan’s Stuff) and my grandpa Jim, whose column was named "Postings." I never knew my grandparents, but I’ve read the old Post Dispatch and seen the town library my grandmother founded. So in honor of them, I write my blog, Panda's Postings, and hope that it carries on in the spirit of their paper.

Forget Borat!

So I haven't seen Borat yet, and frankly, I don't have much interest. But from what people tell me, it's all about Ali G encouraging people to say things that are racist, degrading and otherwise offensive--showing the "true colors" of Americans.

This documentary is certainly not as slick, but if you get your jollies from watching ignorant people say shocking things, check out Red State.




The clips on the movie's website are even better (or worse, I guess you could say) than the trailor above. Check out the nice lady from Jackson, Mississippi and the dude from Boise who thinks his state is covered in the Blood of Christ.

I just ordered a copy of the film...stay tuned for a thumbs up or down.
