• The Stoning of Soraya M.

  Something new on Netflix's Instant Play - The Stoning of Soraya M.

  Set in 1986 Iran at the start of Khomeini's reign, director Cyrus Nowrasteh's drama tells the true story of Soraya (Mozhan Marnò), whose husband plots to have her falsely accused of adultery so he can divorce her and marry a young girl. French journalist Freidoune (Jim Caviezel) is pulled into Soraya's tragic story when he meets a desperate woman named Zahra (Shohreh Aghdashloo).

  This is heartbreaking, chilling, and a must-watch.

• Quote of the Day

  (Yes, I'm on a Moonbattery kick lately...)  The New York Times has their knickers in a twist over the conservative influence on the Texas history curriculum.  Gregory of Yardale notes:

• David Vitter's Tele-town Hall

  David Vitter's tele-town hall just robocalled me, and of course, I'm sticking around to listen to the bitter end. What's really hilarious is that every second or third question, the person also tosses in a slam against Mary Landrieu, commenting on her unresponsiveness especially with regard to the health care bill. If she were up for re-election this year, she'd be toast.
