Bring 'em Home.

Yahoo! News - U.S. Soldiers Killed in Iraq; Bush Vows No Retreat

This senseless war is making even less sense, if that's possible. We need to bring our sons and daughters home, because what they are dying for is not worth the price.

Yahoo! News - Massive Blackout Hits Northeast Cities
This is not a good sign, even if it turns out to be caused by a "natural occurence", as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg so flippantly put it. Four nuclear powerplants were shut down; mass transit was shut down; two major airports were affected; cellular communications were terminated.

Reminds me of the blackout in "Matrix: Reloaded"...a blackout this widespread means someone is up to something.

Gigli?

Okay, I admit: it's a horrible name for a movie. But I don't understand why there seems to be so much venom being written about this movie. It's not like Hollywood has never released a bad movie before. I just can't believe that people hate Ben and Jen so much. What's to hate? That they're too cute? Too successful?

That they can't really act? No one should be suddenly surprised by that.

Actually, I think they both do fine as actors. Not that I've seen "Gigli"...the title turns me off. The movie's poster says absolutely nothing about why I should spend $10 to see the film, and now I hear Sony Studios is canceling all TV ads for the film. Sheesh, after one poor showing in it's first week out, the studio is pulling the plug on the ad campaign. I smell a fish. I think the studio engineered the whole "flop" job. I guess Sony needed a write-off.

The weirdest, saddest thing about this whole deal is that now the buzz is out that pairing Ben and Jen in a movie is a BAD IDEA. How stupid is that?
