They don't make them like that anymore
Watching my DVD of Tora Tora Tora this afternoon. It has the full intermission from the theatrical version including the score. I have found only a few niggly bits with the model work (i.e. Nevada has 2 too many 14" guns) but it is so superior to what is being done recently there is no comparison.

In memoriam
Today I mourn the passing of the man who set me along the path of my current vocation. Ave atque vale Dr. Gilbert Y. Tavener. You were a true Priest and a scholar.

So say we all.

Fur kids
I have to take Malik to the vet in the morning. He has some form of infection on his right front paw. It does not hurt him to walk but it is clearly bothering him.

I guess he will be staying with Uncle Richard for a bit.

NO!
One does not give Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II an iPod.

Especially when one is a fellow head of state.

Your Majesty I most humbly apologize.

P.S.
If he had tried that with Maggie, the still would not have been able to remove her purse from his ass.

Yeah stimulus
WRONG VECTOR MORONS

Dow down 366 today.

Get a clue Madame Speaker
500 million american jobs lost every month if the stimulus plan does not pass? This out of a national population of just over 300 million.

Madame Speaker if you can not even be bothered to look up easily acquired information then you really should keep you hands off the budget.

Hyperbole or just a total frakking moron?

She will claim the former but I suspect the latter is actually more accurate.

Inaugural
Did they remember to sacrifice a bull to Jupiter? Probably not.

Who said Michelle Obama was unattractive?

The kids are cute, unfortunately the older one favours him.

The crowd chants were a bit Nurembergish.

There was only one first lady present and several pretenders, clue she wore a say something hat and seemed to be singing "God Save the Queen", but she got all the words wrong.

Pax,

Are you sure you mean that?

RIP

Two biggies for me today.

Fun with numbers
People living in poverty
2000 31 million
2008 37 million

Poverty has decreased in the United States.

Population in 2000 281 Million
Population in 2008 308 Million

Anyone want to place money on the press only reporting the increase in numbers of the former with out mentioning the growth in the latter?

They would not do that, surely.

Class acts
It seems to me that the classiest Member of the DNC is the President Elect.

The rest seem to be petty little children.

Pax,
A.

Addendum: Add the not to be Commerce Secretary to the class list.

Odd
I was reading the Monroe paper this morning and it struck me that the tone and phrasing of letters to the editor from fundies sound exactly like news releases from the KCNA (North Korean news).
