Promised Land – Movie Trailer
Jan 6th
Promised Land is the new contemporary drama directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, Milk). Matt Damon plays Steve Butler, an ace corporate salesman who is sent along with his partner, Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand), to close a key rural town in his company’s expansion plans. With the town having been hit hard by the economic decline of recent years, the two outsiders see the local citizens as likely to accept their company’s offer, for drilling rights to their properties, as much-needed relief. What seems like an easy job for the duo becomes complicated by the objection of a respected schoolteacher (Hal Holbrook) with support from a grassroots campaign led by another man (John Krasinski), as well as the interest of a local woman (Rosemarie DeWitt). Promised Land explores America at the crossroads where big business and the strength of small-town community converge.

When Whores FIGHT SCRATCH AND BYTE !!
It is bad enough “this woman ” set out to ruin America most favorite General, David Patraius, she damaged the reputation of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) inTampa Bay. She tried to have an affair with the General when he was already having an affair with the Paula Broadwell whore. And now it appears that she had an FBI suitor sending her topless photos.
The woman Kelly set about to involve the FBI, CIA and US military in a TV drama style tawdry affair. What has the country come too? Can’t these whores just take their money and leave the hotel quietly. Apparently Jill Kelly has to flash her tits on the way out.
On top of all of this Jill Kelly has three children and a husband. Hopefully she will be divorced and moving to Jersey shore soon. She cannot stay in Tampa Bay.
UPDATE:FBI agents have raided the home of Paula Broadwell overnight. Jill Kelly has been connected to another General in recent hours. Explicit sexual email have been found by FBI. What is amazing with these two late 30’s married women is their evil intent to destroy not only their families but families of high ranking US military officials. Most news reports blame the Generals and let the women off completely.

Locker speaks on post-election politics at Flagler Forum event Nov. 15
No matter who wins the election on Nov. 6, Ray Locker says the political campaigning and wrangling will not be over yet.
“We still have the upcoming lame-duck Congress and a bunch of key issues to hash out by the end of the year,” said Locker, the Washington enterprise editor for USA TODAY who will speak at Flagler College on Nov. 15 as part of the 2012 Forums on Government and Public Policy lecture series.
Locker, who will speak on “It’s Not Over Yet: The 2012 Election and the Stakes for a Lame-Duck Congress,” believes the outcome of the election will come down to important factors such as Hispanic and minority voter turnout as well as the discussion on future of major entitlement programs such as Medicare and health care.
He also believes the outcome of this race could determine how campaigns are run in the future.
“This year will be the test between advertising and campaign organization,” said Locker. “I believe it will lead to fundamental changes in how pollsters do business in future elections.”
As the Washington enterprise editor for USA TODAY, Locker supervises the investigative work in the organization’s Washington bureau. He has been the paper’s White House and politics editor and national security editor in the seven years since joining USA TODAY in 2005. His work as an editor and reporter was nominated for Pulitzer Prizes in 2008 and 2010.
Before joining USA TODAY, Locker ran the Associated Press bureau in Sacramento and coordinated the news service’s coverage of California government and politics, including the 2003 recall campaign that led to the election of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He worked for the Los Angeles Times and spent 13 years as a reporter, columnist and editor at The Tampa Tribune.
