Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace returns to theaters in 3D February 10, 2012
Wow, how nice, getting to see the world's most racially offensive CGI character in two more dimensions than it is written.
Creepy
This is rather frightening...and I imagine incredibly foul smelling.
REDONDO BEACH, Calif. - Redondo Beach awoke Tuesday to find a carpet of death atop the water. Thousands of silvery sardines floated in the King Harbor marina fin-to-fin. Hundreds of thousands more, perhaps millions, were piled on the coppery bottom, 18 inches deep in some spots.

Best Friends
So far the line up to run against Barack Obama is pretty much...
Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney.
The "we're not as bad as the alternative" strategy will work quite well. These folks are inadvertently the best friends the Obama Administration has.
Not very changey though is it?

What Would Pinochet do?
I have not been under the impression that we've elected Salvador Allende lately, but that doesn't mean many Republicans are giving up on a series of military men on a white horse, or to put it more in modern context the 'military-industrial complex':
Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) are teaming up with Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee to write legislation that would take decisions about trying detainees out of the attorney general's hands and hand that power to the secretary of defense.
Ooh, how lovely, and by that I mean, how awesomely anti-American. Maybe eventually we can do this with Union leaders and Democrats too? After all its not like they're important, if they were they'd be on the Sunday chat shows more often...like McCain and Graham.
Remember, its not about unraveling a republic, its just about efficiency (and making accused people stand around naked, or worse), the fact it undermines our traditional notions of justice is just a bonus for them.

Just think how different
Samwise Paul's life would have been if his father had been influenced by a better book of the same era?
