Thanks for thinking of me Seattle! Respect the Female Consumer - Room for Debate What is it about women, Hollywood and power that makes every female I know groan? Whether or not she is in the industry, the average woman of a certain age knows full well that things are just not right in La-La Land. Since Hollywood is the land of dreamers – which is why we love movies in the first place – here are some things I dream about, to elevate women’s status in the film industry. Hire more women directors. Hollywood power brokers seem to have a deep sense of dread, not to mention potential mommy issues, about giving women directing jobs. But that is precisely why this is such an important issue. Respect our dollars. They are just as green and count just the same. Respect our stories. One thing that continues to confuse me is how it happened that the stories of male action heroes became the dominant narratives of our time. Don’t read doom and gloom into every failure. Men fail up in Hollywood and women fail out. And ultimately, money should be the message.

Obama Creates Foreign Jobs How did the president become the Outsourcer-in-Chief? Recently, the administration authorized a $1.2 billion loan guarantee to Mexico’s state-owned oil company, Pemex. The loan guarantee supports Pemex’s plans to place risky wells at depths over 8,000 feet just south of the maritime border with the United States. Just two years after the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster, the Obama administration is entrusting the Gulf of Mexico to Pemex – a company with no experience drilling at such extreme depths and with a track-record that includes the second largest Gulf spill in history. But, this isn’t the first time that the Ex-Im Bank guaranteed loans to Pemex. And, unfortunately, Pemex is more like the rule, rather than the exception. In return for the $10 billion, the U.S. gets a whole lot of nothing. Let’s dredge deeper into the rabbit hole. But, Petrobras does employ over 300 workers in the U.S., bringing the Ex-Im Bank’s loan to $33 million per employee.

My girlfriend is an opera singer and performance studies expert who has spent years working on breathing, so I asked her what to do next time. 1. 2. 3. 4. That's it. Phew.
