Saturday, January 9th, 2010Do you remember that once President Obama was elected how every major news media source was proclaiming, or at least inferring, that America had become post-racial. That the election proved America had moved beyond race and was now the fruition of the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King. For me such lunacy ended on January [...]
Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes
Saturday, January 9th, 2010There was a buzz among some when it was suggested that Robert Downey Jr. was going to play the classic Holmes. I and several of my friends were hopeful for a film that would honor the books, and still touch upon the proper English nature that Basil Rathbone presented so well. Then news that Moriarity [...]
Schuyler Fisk – iTunes exclusive
Friday, January 8th, 2010Here is a bit of news that music fans, and those that like iTunes, will enjoy.

Movie Preview: Inception
Friday, January 8th, 2010Watch out, there is a new completely derivative movie coming out soon.

Those are [...]
"Because I may suddenly feel the need to."
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010With all the closed door meetings in Congress, the idea of Universal Voter Registration, and now the C-SPAN deal I was reminded of one of the better monologues I’ve seen in movies. It’s made by Dennis Leary – whom I think is a great comedian – from the mediocre movie Demolition Man starring Sylvester Stallone. [...]
C-SPAN Health Care Reform – would you watch?
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010While not exactly being entertaining television, C-SPAN is a network all the same. So I thought to include this, but you can respond at the more politically oriented VASS if you prefer. The questions at hand are transparency, health care, and the word of the President. All of these are issues that cause the politically [...]
