Mark Cuban: just another technocrat blowhard

The billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, a basketball team, has branched out into movie distribution. The film, "Redacted," is anti military and crudely put together showing one-dimensional characterizations of our soldiers. It depicts drunken soldiers raping a 14-year old girl and killing her family. The soliders about which this picture was made are currently serving life sentences in military prisons.

Saying it doesn't make it so
Cuban actually says that this horrible film doesn't affect our troops and that the film won't be used by our enemies against us. Is he kidding? Is he really that stupid?

One more time I had to find out what makes a person like Cuban, who was given so much by his country hate his country so much that he would become the 21st century equivalent to Jane Fonda and her visit to Hanoi. I doubt that a betrayal this huge can just be shrugged off as he did in his blog, http://www.blogmaverick.com/. As he becomes more human through these types of humiliations, one of which is ageing, his psychic pain and guilt will be unbearable when he looks back over the years. I can say that from experience. Nothing gets unnoticed in this life. Nothing.

The reviews actually are pretty sad for Mark's maiden voyage into the Hollywood whirlpools and eddys. Poor dear. I guess he really did think that his money could buy him anything, including art and patriotism, and most importantly, girls and Hollywood. This traitorous, arrogant little man is about to see the true reaction of people when his movie bombs, which it will.

I have to also wonder why the Maverick fans would support this twit and his team, especially in Dallas. Is basketball really more important that one's principles?

I would ask those fans to do the following: Close your eyes and think of Mark Cuban prancing around the basketball floor, yelling at referees and then place another picture of our soldiers in Iraq next to it.

Thanks for the read.
