My daughter and I went to see Life of Pi a few months back and both of us were very, very moved by this inspiring story. I remember several points throughout the film looking over at her and watching her face run the full range of emotions...wonder...terror...sadness...joy....intellectual satisfaction...all of these are present in this amazing film.
The films tells the story of Pi Patel, first in his quest to know God and become a devotee of all religions and then in his fight to survive after the ship he is on sinks, killing his entire family. We left the film with many, many things to talk about. My daughter thought it was amazing that he was a Hindu, Christian and a Muslim at the same time. Pi, in the movie, explains this.
"I just wanted to be as close to God as possible."
She was very moved by his spiritual quest.
The rest of his journey across the ocean is filled with adventure and suspense coupled with that innate, human characteristic to survive at all costs. Life of Pi is definitely one of the best of the nine films that have been nominated for Best Picture.

Why is that number one on the list?

And because I know you won't bring it up:
NC Board of Elections Involved in Illegal Voting Practices
The Civitas Institute has documented how SBE [State Board of Elections] bureaucrats conspired with a private company, working for the Obama campaign to facilitate a form of online voter registration for the 2012 General Election - in violation of state law. It's a classic example of how bureaucrats ignore the democratic process and hijack an agency for partisan purposes.
[snip]
Yet the SBE staff set in motion a scheme that in the last two months of the election resulted in more than 11,000 people being allowed to register online. Civitas has confirmed this by a public records request to all 100 counties and is still compiling the total number of registrations as counties comply with the request. Thus far, 68 percent of the registrations we have received were Democratic voters, 10 percent were Republican voters and 21 percent from unaffiliated voters.
I think the first sentence of this quote from the conclusion matches what most conservatives have been thinking.
Up until now, my assumption has been that, while [the Obama Administration] plainly engaged in vote fraud in some circumstances, it wasn't enough to throw the election. Depending upon whether or not they used tricks like this nationwide - and they probably did - they may have in fact stolen this election.
