Finally got around to watching “The Spirit” on dvd. Though it was roundly panned as a bad movie because of lousy acting, too many characters not enough plot, Miller directing, etc… I actually liked it.
First off: It was gorgeous to watch if you like that style of mixing Black/White graphic novel like shots with [...]

Again the interview Part 2 seemed rather scripted. Realistically nothing really new was added to the discourse.
The economy: The dangerous trillion dollars of debt that will be devastating to our country economically. It puts us all in harms way.
Terrorists: Obama has made it more dangerous for us. Cheney’s afraid the next [...]

I wanted to catch Dick Cheney on the Hannity Show last night.
We don’t have cable (by choice) so I braved the thunderstorm at midnight to visit someone that did.
I thought the “interview” was fairly subdued for Hannity who is always trying to make his “points” through the somewhat loud leading questions he asks.
The whole thing [...]

I’m not much of a computer/game platform player, I’m more a logic puzzle person. The last games I completely finished on my own were Myst, Riven, and I loved Time Lapse.
My sons tried to get me to play Gran Turismo but I kept running into things, spinning around, driving off cliffs and into oncoming [...]

Texas secession. I’ve mentioned before how Chuck Norris has stated numerous times that Texas might be better off as it’s own country. Seems that the Teabagging parties brought Texas Governer Rick Perry out into the limelight again. It’s a joke when he says Texans could get so fed up that they would [...]

If you don’t understand by now why the term teabagging has most of the news commentators hard pressed (sorry) to try and keep a straight face while reporting on conservative teabaggers planning teabagging parties, then please look it up in Wikipedia or something.
I was surprised by how many newsfolk (and others) didn’t know the double-entendre [...]

She made the announcement just a short time ago what the results of the contest to name the space node [...]

Jon Stewart is usually laugh out loud funny. I don’t get my news commentary from him as he picks his stories along different interests than I do. In all fairness I’m not a die-hard fan like many are. It’s only recently that I’ve been watching him more consistently though I rarely get [...]

Did it really take 6 years to finally get a verdict to stand in Phil Spector’s murder trial?
There is an account of him pulling a gun on John Lennon and actually shooting a bullet into the ceiling. Legend has it he held a gun to Leonard Cohen’s head also. This guy is well [...]

I didn’t think I’d find the Newseum as interesting as I did. The other museums off the mall are for the most part free such as the Smithsonian museums like Air and Space, Natural History, Portrait Gallery, the Botanical Gardens and others.
The Newseum costs $20.00 which isn’t that bad a deal because you can [...]
