- Inspirational McCain
I try not to write about politics. I think the whole election process in this country is a farce. It’s an overblown popularity contest. Such a small percentage of the population really knows what their candidate believes. Most base their votes on purely aesthetic or stereotypical guidelines. They find someone that looks the most like [...]
- RIP Report: George Carlin
Hey everybody, I’m on a two week hiatus from blogging, but I had to come back on to say a few words about George Carlin. It is eerie that he is gone, I was just talking about him with my crew at UPS on Friday night. Most of my crew is filled with first or [...]
- Rowling Writes Potter Prequel
The AP announces that J.K. Rowling has written a prequel to her seven volume Potter series. Albeit a short one. 800 words. It was part of a charity auction in which 13 different authors and artist were given a postcard sized piece of cardboard. Rowling covered both sides of hers with the prequel and the [...]
- Sydney Pollack 1934-2008

I'm not a huge fan of the Bond movies. I like the Sean Connery era, But Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan were too clean cut and high brow for me. Daniel Craig plays a more sadistic and heartless Bond. And the Poker game is fantastic, riveting.

McClane is back! I liked Justin Long as the sidekick. Not the best of the series, but at least it's better than #2.
