JOIN THOUSANDS IN SAN ANTONIO
FOR THE CHRISTIAN FILM EVENT OF THE YEAR
Thursday, February 23 - Saturday, February 25
Gonzales Convention Center, downtown San Antonio  | And the Winner Is--A Special Invitation to
Come to the Christian Film Event of the Year |
  Adam and Amy McManus If you've never brought your family to enjoy some of the 50 God-honoring films of every genre on 4 screens during this 3-day event right in our own backyard, then register today.
You can even view films like Courageous and Seven Days in Utopia. The price is remarkably competitive and worth every dime! You and your family can sit back and watch some of the dozens of exciting new Christian dramas, cartoons, documentaries, comedies, and short films.
Look at the wide variety of films that will be featured.
Plus, listen to and meet 'Courageous' director Stephen Kendrick and Fireproof's Kirk Cameron. You'll hear excellent talks about how to evaluate media from a biblical perspective and how Christians are giving Hollywood a run for their money in terms of their high-quality, independent films.
Look at the schedule of films and talks here.
In addition,you'll meet wonderful, like-minded Christian families from across the nation.
The Film Festival will be held Thursday, February 23rd through Saturday, February 25th at the Gonzalez Convention Center in downtown San Antonio, Texas.The vision Doug Phillips, the founder of the San Antonio Independent Christian Film, wrote, "Henry Van Til correctly observed that "culture is religion externalized." By this, he meant that the culture of a people reflects their true religious priorities. The music, paintings, and film of a nation (not to mention the thousands of daily cultural expressions - how we live, eat, work, and entertain ourselves) express our priorities, our values, and our true faith. 
Doug Phillips, the founder, articulates the vision. "The Bible teaches that all men have faith, in that they either worship the creature or they worship the Creator, but no man is free from religious commitment. When a people worship sensuality or embrace dark visions of reality, it is always evidenced in the arts. There is no neutrality! On the other hand, when a nation fears and loves the God of Holy Scripture, their religious commitment is evidenced in the music they play, the way they dress, and their vision of family life. "The fact is that America is discontent with Hollywood's negative, monopolistic stranglehold on film and culture. The humanistic religious worldview of Hollywood elites created a rift in American culture and profoundly damaged the American family. We intend to respond, not by cursing the darkness, but by lighting candles. Building a community of independent Christian filmmakers is one such candle."

THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO
* Congratulations to Mitt Romney. He got an honorary Grammy for best spoken word for being able to speak out of both sides of his mouth at the same time.
* And congratulations to Paris Hilton. She was given a special humanitarian award for choosing not to release an album last year.
* The 99 Cent Only Store is calling itself your Valentine's Day headquarters. Guys, if that's your Valentine's Day headquarters, you can also call the garage your new home.
* You know what Kobe Bryant's wife is getting for Valentine's Day? Half.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONAN
* White Castle is offering candlelit dinner service for Valentine's Day. It's the perfect way to tell your partner, "I'm hungry and I don't love you that much."
* It's been projected that Americans will spend over $13 billion this Valentine's Day. And guys who forget Valentine's Day will spend over $100 billion.
* The Beach Boys reunited at the Grammys. They're headed out on tour for their 50th anniversary. Now when they sing about surfing, they mean surfing the Internet for discounted prostate medication.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN
* Anybody see the Grammy Awards last night here on CBS? I missed the show. Is Andy Williams still hosting?
* Mitt Romney loves Valentine's Day. Today he sent a dozen long-stemmed red roses to his money.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!
* Valentine's Day is weird. A nude flying baby that shoots arrows isn't a holiday. It's a horror movie.
* Here's a good tip. If your girlfriend or your wife gives you that speech about how she doesn't care about Valentine's Day and how it's a holiday invented by corporations, don't fall for it.
* The Grammy show lasted 3 1/2 hours last night. Before it was over, Kim Kardashian married half of the L.A. Clippers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON
* Jay-Z and Beyoncé just released five pictures of their month-old daughter. Hear that, Facebook friends with babies? Only five pictures.
* Rick Santorum said women might not be suited for military action because their emotions aren't suited for combat. Which can mean only one thing: He's never seen an episode of 'The View.'"

Ybarra, 32, held her face in her hands and wept as state District Judge Lori Valenzuela read aloud the guilty verdicts for intoxication manslaughter, manslaughter, driving while intoxicated and assault after four hours of jury deliberation.

DAVID LIMBAUGH: PRESIDENT MAGOO
President Obama is nothing if not an incorrigible spendaholic, as his new budget reconfirms in spades. While the nation drowns in debt, Obama wants to buy new expensive Tinkertoys to indulge his utopian fantasies.
Legend has it that prior to embarking on his mission to conquer the known world, Alexander the Great, who had not yet established his greatness, visited the oracle at Delphi seeking a good omen. The oracle was actually a priestess who sat on a stool in the crypt of Apollo's Temple above a fissure in the earth that emitted vapors and put her into a trance, wherein she would channel messages from Apollo.

OBAMA 'USING BUDGET TO PAY OFF POLITICAL BASE'
Barack Obama today released his proposed 2013 budget to Congress, prompting an immediately accusation that he is using taxpayer funds to pay off his political base as the 2012 election approaches.
According to Reuters, Obama's plan is to dump $800 million in U.S. taxpayer funds into "Arab Spring" nations, continue the same level of aid at $1.3 billion to Egypt even though it is being swept by radical Muslim Brotherhood agents, and spend billions more in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq, where the U.S. was told to remove its troops.

Romney and Santorum are tied for the lead among Republican voters 32 to 30 percent, respectively in a Gallup Poll. And the Pew Research Center has the leaders flipped, with Santorum leading Romney 30 percent to 28 percent.

ROMNEY 'FORCED CATHOLIC HOSPITALS TO PROVIDE PLAN B' ABORTIFACIENT PILL
As politicians in both political parties debate Mitt Romney's role in implementing a 2005 statute requiring Catholic hospitals in Massachusetts to dispense Plan B - an "emergency contraceptive" that studies and the pill's manufacturer have suggested can cause early abortions - a leader in the state's pro-life movement puts the blame squarely on the former governor.
"The injury to the conscience rights of Catholic hospitals was not done so much so much by the church's ideological enemies on the Left but by the Romney administration," C.J. Doyle, executive director of the Catholic Action League, told LifeSiteNews.com. The real harm, he says, came from Romney's private counsel's interpretation of a 1975 law that would have respected their religious views.

NATIONAL REVIEW CALLS FOR GINGRICH TO LEAVE RACE
At the moment Rick Santorum appears to be overtaking Newt Gingrich as the principal challenger to Mitt Romney. Santorum has won more contests than Gingrich (who has won only one), has more delegates, and leads him in the polls. In at least one poll, he also leads Romney. It isn't yet a Romney-Santorum contest, but it could be headed that way.
We hope so. Gingrich's verbal and intellectual talents should make him a resource for any future Republican president. But it would be a grave mistake for the party to make someone with such poor judgment and persistent unpopularity its presidential nominee. It is not clear whether Gingrich remains in the race because he still believes he could become president next year or because he wants to avenge his wounded pride: an ambiguity that suggests the problem with him as a leader. When he led Santorum in the polls, he urged the Pennsylvanian to leave the race. On his own arguments the proper course for him now is to endorse Santorum and exit.

GINGRICH: I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE
Republican Newt Gingrich on Monday dismissed calls to drop out of the presidential contest in order to set up a direct contest between rivals Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. The former House speaker insisted that his ideas and a new determination to stay positive would help him once again resuscitate his flagging candidacy.
"I think my ideas are much bolder than Santorum or Romney's. I think my ideas are much clearer and more specific and I have to focus on communicating those ideas. Let's see how it plays out," Gingrich told reporters after addressing a Hispanic leadership event near Los Angeles. He is spending most of the week in California attending fundraisers.

YOUTHFUL CHALLENGER TAKES ON CHAVEZ IN VENEZUELA

Capriles is expected to face a tough race against Chavez, who even after 13 years in office remains a hero to many of his supporters and maintains a visceral connection to a significant segment of the poor in Venezuela. Chavez also will likely use a bonanza of public spending as he seeks re-election in the Oct. 7 presidential election.

RUTH BADER GINSBURG IS BARACK OBAMA
For my liberal friends, the title of this piece doesn't imply that Obama and Justice Ginsburg are literally the same person. They do, however, share precisely the same central-control, collectivist, redistributive ideology. Each views the document they swore to uphold with a smug contempt.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was in Egypt recently to speak at a seminar at Cairo University's law school. While in Egypt, Ginsburg did an Al Hayat television interview. In her now infamous interview, Ginsburg was asked whether Egyptians, in drawing up a constitution for the country's new era, should look to the constitutions of other countries for assistance.

JOSEPH FARAH REBUTS EX-KERRY ATTORNEY ON RUBIO ELIGIBILITY ISSUE
I remember those words.
"It's not a winning issue."
That's what Andrew Breitbart told me at the Tea Party Nation Convention in Nashville a couple years ago after I used my keynote speech to attack Barack Obama's flouting of the Constitution - especially with regard to his cavalier stonewalling concerning his eligibility for office.
"It's not a winning issue."
He may have been right. I didn't care. Because, for me, it was - and is - a matter of principle.
Obama is not eligible. And to not challenge him is, in effect, to dumb down a critically important constitutional requirement for being president of the United States - another nail in the coffin of the ingenious document carefully crafted to guide our nation through the future.
And, just as I suspected might happen back then, today the Republicans seem hellbent on nominating for vice president a delightful, engaging, inspiring candidate who is also not eligible.

It is the elephant in the center of the room that few are willing to admit exists. And, even when there is an admission of its existence, the blame for it is deprivation caused by whites.
With that said, there is no tangible example of black rage more conspicuous than the poisonous contempt many blacks exhibit toward those who do not view life through a prism of victimology.

In 2008, average gasoline prices had hit inflation-adjusted records nationally by the summer, but they didn't climb above $3.50 a gallon across the U.S. that year until April 21, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report. It happened again last year, but not until March 6.
