Tomorrow both campaigns have to file cash reports with the FEC, it's going to be very interesting to see how much each side has on hand. I think Obama spent himself into a deep hole with this one.

The movie was nothing like the book; Shelley Long was a terrible choice to play "Wendy" - her performance was as flat as her lifeless black hair, and the Danny kid looked more like a stuffed animal than living human being.

It's kind of funny in a pathetic way - the only group of people in America that buys into the myth of an objective MSM are the lefty Journalists who know better.

Dinosaurs can pick up scents from miles away. We’re here to observe and document, not interact.

You can definitely see the Spielberg "Don't hurt the animals" taken to the ludicrous extreme in his current TV effort "Terra Nova". A tiny colonial outpost of beleaguered people living in a walled compound 85 million years in the past who lose a few of their numbers to rampaging beasts in every episode, walk around armed to the teeth yet never manage to kill a single one. If you're going to make a serious effort to colonize a territory the first thing you do is burn the surrounding jungle back a safe distance, then wipe out every predator in a 30 mile radius so you can plant crops and move around with the expectation of not being eaten at any moment. Plus you ditch the stun guns and get weapons that work.

PC Doctrine places most of the real bad guys in one protected group or another so there's not much left to choose from. Nowadays you've got Evil Bankers, Evil CEO's, Evil Congressmen (when the GOP controls the Legislature, Evil Presidents when they control the White House) and Nazis, Nazis, Nazis. I'm looking forward to seeing Captain America, but I am definitely getting tired of Nazis.

There's a reason 230 pages were chopped out of the original.

They write about hunters but have probably never hunted a day in their lives, so they get it wrong. Look at the end of the season premiere episode: what kind of dad lets his son walk up on a wild animal? The redneck guy seems like an experienced hunter, no way he'd allow that. This is one of the problems I have with TWD - the writers make the characters do stupid stuff to get the plot element they want. Season 1 - redneck brother, handcuffed to a piece of threaded steel rod on a roof top then given a hacksaw cuts off his OWN hand, instead of the threaded rod (which is designed to be cut with a hacksaw). Later episode we had two chicks fishing fly rods upside down from a canoe like they were bait rods (no casting, just sitting holding them) and blathering on about "Dry Lures" versus "Wet Lures". They all camp out on a hilltop in tents, no defensive perimeter, then they're surprised when zombies attack in the night as they all sit by their blazing mountaintop fire in the pitch dark (wonder how far away that fire could be seen?). This is what happens when city people try to portray working class or rural types. They don't know hunting, they don't know fishing, they don't know working with steel so they get it wrong. I'm trying hard to like the show too, but the stupidity makes it tougher by the day. As someone else mentioned a while back: they get the Zombies right and everything else wrong.

The premise is that certain kinds of language are hard wired into the brain and act as code, sort of like the BIOS of a computer.

Maybe there is a shakeup in progress at the Tiffany Network. CBS may have discovered a vast pool of potential new viewers out in Red State America and might be getting ready to challenge FOX for a share of them. Seems unlikely but you never know. One thing you can be certain of; there's a brand new crack in the media Dam.

The racist rooftop dude handcuffed to a piece of threaded steel rod who - when gifted with a hacksaw - chose to cut off his own hand instead of the threaded rod, which is actually designed to be cut to size with hacksaws. And all the yackety-yack about relationships near the end. This show is still a lot of fun and I'm willing to hang on for another season.

If it's to set up an awesome action sequence, fine. But if the writer is forcing his characters to act like morons to serve an ideological point of view, I'm out. BTW - if you need to make your characters foolish to preserve your ideology, might that not mean yours is an ideology of fools?
