American Politico

Posted on by

I’m a self-aware liberal.  Not to the extreme but more towards center.  Now that that’s out of the way, yes, I do think Obama is the next president.  I also thought that McCain should have won against W 8 years ago, he just didn’t have the money to push through.  He does have common sense approaches to most items but make no mistake, his is a republican and his believes in military might.

If you’ve been following it at all, you’ve no doubt noticed the republicans are taking the low road.  Old politics really, where you spend more time and money abassing your opponent than shinning a light on you.  An election is really about selecting the person you fear the least.  It’s stupid (Conservatives here will get a backlash from it).

The last one from McCain was hillarious.  It compares Obama to celebrities.  Sorry John but that’s exactly what being President is about in this day in age.  No one elects a President they hate.

Obama released his own message.  Now pay close attention because this ad doesn’t attack McCain so much as it attacks the ad – and it finished with a positive note.  Look at that tag line!

As much as the world assumes Obama is the next President, they are not the ones voting.  He needs to win the bible belt.  The place where they actually beleive Satan exists in people, Creationism is a fact and whites are the superior race.  It’s almost a 3rd world country in some areas.

Here’s to a very entertaining 4 months.

Looking for Clubs?

Take a peek at Golf Digest’s Hot List for 2008.

I’m looking at an Adams Idea A3 and the Taylormade Burner.  Already have a putter and I’m working with a new loft.  It’s been 11 years since I had my clubs, time for an update methinks.

The Dark Knight

I had the chance to see the new Batman movie tonight.  Now that is something else.  I thought Batman Begins was good but it’s a high school play compared to this.

A lot of people talk about Heath Ledger’s performance.  To be honest, it is really quite amazing.  He truly is a psychopath in every sense of the word.  Whenever he’s on screen you wince and squirm about his next move, his next line, his next thought.  We’ve seen criminals in the past, there was always rhyme and reason to them existing.  Not so with the Joker.  He is pure evil incarnate.  He has no goals but to see the world burn.

The movie has a great pace too.  Clocks in near 2.5hours with almost non-stop action throughout.  You only have a few moments to catch your breath and make sense of it all before the next act begins.  Seeing it in IMAX is the only option.  There’s just too much action on screen to shrink the perspective down.

Christian Bale is Batman.  There is no doubt.  Michael Cain is great as Alfred.  Maggie Gyllenhal is a good Rachel (my biggest gripe from the first film was Katie).  Aron Eckhart does a noble job as Two Face but it seems lacking in time when compared to the Joker, like he could have had more to do.

I am certainly returning to see it again.  Hopefully this week!

Alright!

Seems the site hack stuff is over with.  Added a new module for added security in the future.  Took a frikin MONTH to get all of it cleaned out and in the process I purged about 75% of the size of the site.

Oh well, all done now.

Tournoi Major en FDS!!  Party!

PS.  1 stroke off bogey golf yesterday.
