The Top Ten Reasons Why Bush Needs To Be Replaced

Man, oh, man, this is just too easy. 10. That idiotic tax cut. Make the rich richer, make the poor think they're a little less poor. And during a war no less. And no politician could really go against it -- it would make them look bad to their constituents. 9. The Patriot Act. No president since... Sign in to see full entry.

There are several books that are must reading throughout your life. Sometimes those books need to be perused before a certain time in your life, like Catcher In The Rye before graduating high school. The upcoming election is one such time also. A great many people are considering it the most... Sign in to see full entry.

Shark Tale

What an excellent underwater romp. Far better than Finding Nemo (although it was a pretty good movie). Funny throughout and the animation was terrific. But what else do you expect from Dreamworks, a company co-founded by Steven Spielberg? And the cast? Some pretty big fish in the Hollywood talent... Sign in to see full entry.

Cold Mountain

Jude Law was spectacular. Nicole Kidman was her usual professional self. Brendan Gleeson was great. And Renee Zellweger was undeniably phenomenal. Needless to say, I really enjoyed this film. Well written and directed by Anthony Minghella, the same man who gave us that insufferably yawning piece of... Sign in to see full entry.

Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World

Peter Weir is a genius. Period. I should go on? Well, sure, I guess I should. Russell Crowe is an acting marvel, a regular phenomenon. His oscar nominated portrayal of John Nash in Beautiful Mind. His oscar winning performance in Gladiator. Well, in my opinion, his portrayal of Captain Aubrey of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Southern Poverty Law Center

I became familiar with the Southern Poverty Law Center, its attempts to track hate groups in America and disseminate a little tolerance by destroying ignorance, and the work of Morris Dees, its founder, when I became interested in learning more about the growing grass-roots militia movements of the...

The Most Over-Rated Books Of All Time

Since I wrote a blog on the Best Books, let me balance everything with a list of the worst. Remember one thing: all lists are subjectively reflective of the individual that writes them, and, since I cannot have read everything, some tomes that are obviously terrible to you may be some that I have...

Blogging Does Pay -- And How!!!

Jessica Cutler has become a household name. She is the current focus of several debates, like kissing-and-telling in Washington (although she did a lot more than kiss before she told), the reasonable expectation of privacy (anywhere), morality in general, sexual morality among young women, using sex...

The Last Samurai

Possibly, no, not possibly. Absolutely. Yes, that will work. Absolutely one of the best movies I have ever seen. Tom Cruise is superb. Ken Watanabe is magnificent. The storyline is captivating. The cinematography is beautifully rendered. The direction (Edward Zwick) of this movie was masterful. The... Sign in to see full entry.
