Just caught G.I. Joe. Great summer flick. (I know I’m a week late, but I’m a lawyer–I’ve got stuff to do). Not quite Star Trek-level, but it gives Transformers a run for second place in blockbuster heart pounding manventure of the summer. Just like Transformers, (and I’m quoting myself here), G.I. Joe wil:

Short version: See it.
Medium version: People complain too much. See this movie and enjoy life.
Longer version: Critics have complained that the sequel to the blockbuster hit Transformers is too long, its violence is too gratuitous and its plot is nonexistent. These are the same people who complain about the lack of any emotional context... »

News reports indicate that Comcast is appologizing for a 30 seconds of porn that was accidently shown in my old town of Tucson during the superbowl. Apparently this is in addition to the idiotic camera-crotch shot that Springsteen thought was a good idea.
The weirdest thing about this is the mildly-retarded smile Springsteen has afterward.

From my incredibly talented and devilishly handsome friend, Joe:
Got a wife and kids in Jersey, Barack
Sang the workin’ man’s blues, put my accounts in the black
Sang ’bout unions and big stores evil growin’
But Wal-Mart offers cash you know where I’m goin’
Everybody’s got a greedy heart
Everybody’s got a greedy heart
You sing what... »

This is all you ever need to know about the quality of the people who work for the New York Times:
“It’s a Wonderful Life” is a terrifying, asphyxiating story about growing up and relinquishing your dreams, of seeing your father driven to the grave before his time, of living among bitter, small-minded people. It... »

40 great movie speeches in 2 minutes:
Anyone who can string together William Wallace, Sparticus and Fozzie the Bear has my vote for movie of the year.

My wife and I adopted a puppy a few months ago. As my wife works from home, she has been doing most of the training and she’s done a fantastic job. Our dog, Sedona, at five months knows how to sit, lay down, fetch, give, bring and drop. She never begs for food…well. That’s... »

With apologies to Adam Sandler (and for outing anyone)
Conservatism is
The defense of states’ rights,
Instead of one massive federal program,
We want our tax bill to be light!
When you feel like the only kid in town
Who’s in the G-O-P;
Here’s a list of celebrity Neocons,
Just like you and me…
Frasier’s Kelsey Grammar
Is a red-state voter,
So is Paul Sorvino,... »

Well, you win some and you lose some. Apparently I overestimated Hillary Clinton’s capacity to endure ostracism and campaign debts. I was certain she would not bow out, and yet she did. I will say this, though: in her “concession speech” she referred to herself a total of 108 times. ... »

These, in the day when heaven was falling,
The hour when earth’s foundations fled,
Followed their mercenary calling,
And took their wages, and are dead.
Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood, and earth’s foundations stay;
What God abandoned, these defended,
And saved the sum of things for pay.
-A.E. Housman
