Anchorman - 0/5
I finally got around to watching "I like scotch! Scotchy scotch scotch scotch" <a Anchorman this weekend and...
it is quite possibly the worst movie I have seen in the past five years.
As best as I can tell, it was a vehicle to see how far Will Ferrell could carry a crappy movie. The answer? About 10 minutes. From the boring opening to the stylish-but-not-nearly-stylish-enough 70s schtick, it was pure, unadulterated crap. The dialogue was abysmal, the characters were amateurish, the plot was nonexistent, the acting was pure dogshit (natch), and the only single redeeming feature was Steve Carell - and he seriously needs to watch out for that typecasting thing (though I think he may be big enough to avoid that wrecking ball. Evan Almighty should tell us one way or the other).
You know, if I wanted to watch a 2 hour movie about a moron in an absurd setting - but one that was actually funny - I'd pop in Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison.
Will, I know Adam Sandler, and you, sir, are no Adam Sandler. At no point in this rambling, incoherent mess of a movie did you come close to engaging the audience or obtaining even a chuckle. I award you no points, and may FSM have mercy on your soul.

Familiarity, meet contempt
OK, the more I watch Battlestar Galactica, the more I'm hating it. I just can't get past the hackneyed, deus ex machina, by-the-numbers writing. It's got a serious case of 24-itis. When ultra narcissist Gaias doesn't turn in Cylons because it would be too much effort, you know the writing sucks. A real self-interested motivation would be to turn the Cylon in for the glory and life preservation. Not ratting out Boomer the second she leaves the room is dogshit writing and the next episode with Ellen is straight out of Jack Bauer bullshit plot twist 101.
I may just have to write my own damn spec script for this show and show 'em how it's done, yo.

Bush Drowns in the Blood of the Innocent
and plays fiddle while the Constitution burns
I've been sitting on this because I don't know quite what to say. The total deaths caused by our country in an illegal, elective war of invasion, brought about by the lies and bloodthirsty sociopathy of a small number of chickenhawks is beyond my powers of comprehension.
Maybe this will help. Iraq had approximately the population of California. Due to our invasion of Iraq we have wiped out the equivalent of most of San Francisco, or all of Anaheim and Bakersfield. Or Sacramento and Fremont.
All of those people are dead because of us. Because of Bush. Impeachment is an insufficient remedy, but it is at least a step towards justice.
Oh, and the story? It was carried on page <strong>A12</strong> of the WaPo. A-12, people, so that the valuable front page real estate could carry things like a warning of the demise of handwriting. What liberal media?
A team of American and Iraqi epidemiologists estimates that 655,000 more people have died in Iraq since coalition forces arrived in March 2003 than would have died if the invasion had not occurred.
The estimate, produced by interviewing residents during a random sampling of households throughout the country, is far higher than ones produced by other groups, including Iraq's government.
It is more than 20 times the estimate of 30,000 civilian deaths that President Bush gave in a speech in December. It is more than 10 times the estimate of roughly 50,000 civilian deaths made by the British-based Iraq Body Count research group.
The surveyors said they found a steady increase in mortality since the invasion, with a steeper rise in the last year that appears to reflect a worsening of violence as reported by the U.S. military, the news media and civilian groups. In the year ending in June, the team calculated Iraq's mortality rate to be roughly four times what it was the year before the war.
Of the total 655,000 estimated "excess deaths," 601,000 resulted from violence and the rest from disease and other causes, according to the study. This is about 500 unexpected violent deaths per day throughout the country.

Posting by Email sort of sucks
What's the point if it strips the formatting? Let's try it this way and see if the link comes through.

Haven't posted here in a while
still doing it at cmoore, but recent revelations of discrimination and retaliation against non-anonymous bloggers is having me rethink this.
Had a really strange dream last night. I'm sure part was allegory to my professional situation (and an obvious one at that), but the rest was this really cool terror/surreal thing involving mega sharks and the Cold People. Maybe I'll write a story about it someday. The Cold People have lots of promise.

Lefkow Update
Turns out Judge Lefkow ruled in favor of the nutjob who killed her family before being overturned by an appellate court. Just when you thought the nutso couldn't get any more frighteningly psychotic...
Hee
For whatever reason, the google ads on the right last time I looked were advertising for two sites... "Binge Drinking" and "Drinking in College." Hee!
Damn that Liberal Media
O'Reilly on ACLU: "they're a terrorist organization"
This just in: some say O'Reilly sexually harasses the female staff, has fantasies involving loofas and falafel, and settles claims brought against him in court after a lot of blustery denials and empty words of fight-to-the-deathism.

Brooklyn's Abu Ghraib
This one goes out to those fools who said it could never happen here. Abuse amounting to torture of 79 muslims and 5 Israeli jews consisting of sexual abuse, sleep deprivation, exposure to freezing temperatures for extended periods, and frequent unprovoked beatings... all within sight of the Statue of Liberty.
Nice.
Nice.
Asian Greenhouse Gasses
... are largely caused by home cookin'.
There's a pitch for a McD's if I've ever seen one... except maybe not so much in India. If people would just stop eating, they wouldn't need to cook, and if they stopped cooking they wouldn't have to worry about smog in 50 years. Simple!

Can Someone Tell Me Why This is Noteworthy
From Salon arts:
Diamond heart12 billion people have gone through raising a teenager. Whoopdeefuckindoo.
In an exclusive excerpt from her new book, "Plan B," Anne Lamott writes about the difficulty and beauty of mothering a teenager
The coming crackdown on blogging?
There's a lot of sturm und drang over potential FEC regulation of internet political speech. Not going to happen. It doesn't pass even a cursory First Amendment sniff test.
Then again, with this administration and Abu Gonzalez in power... I can see how the paranoia might seem reasonable.
People just need to chill the fuck out, step back, and breathe a bit y'know? Ain't nuthin but a muffin... and we've got a lot of butter to go.

More Privacy Intrusions
First the RFID tags on kids in California... now it's random breathalizer sobriety checks?!? Is this really a problem that needs addressing? Wouldn't their time be better served edjucating these monkeys?
I guess it's good no one was caught fucking. Then they'd be having random hymen checks in the hallway.
District officials said they grew concerned after hearing of rampant student drinking. Teenagers were caught drinking on school trips to Costa Rica and Italy. A drunk student vomited on a bus on the way to a field trip. Then there were students showing up in class drunk, sometimes after having alcohol at lunch.Sounds like a minor problem with a few students being blown way out of proportion by alarmist chicken littles. Except for the Costa Rica and Italy thing... but what else did they expect?
