A few things

I saw Eagle Eye this weekend. Apparently a few others did as well since it made about 30 million. From the trailers, I didn't really expect to like it. I only saw it because Samantha was at a conference and I had nothing else to do waiting for her. I liked it. I actually liked it quite a lot. A while back, I called what I thought would be one of the plot twists, and I was right, but that didn't make it a bad movie. my suggestion is, if you're planning to see it, don't read anything on it. I would have been pissed to read spoilers of this film before seeing it.

Paul Newman died of cancer. On this very blog a few weeks back, I posted a review of The Sting. Another great actor is gone.

Sarah Palin is a stupid, stupid bitch. Seriously, if you vote for McCain now, you're against the Constitution, and you're against quality leadership. There I said it. Try and prove me wrong if you think otherwise.

That leads me to McCain's announcement last week to "suspend" his campaign to work on the economic situation. First of all, if you've read into the situation at all, you'll know that Obama called McCain personally to talk about a joint statement on this very matter. After the call, McCain made the announcement himself in a pathetic attempt to one-up his opponent. Secondly, what the fuck is McCain's involvement in the matter going to help anyway? Like one more brain working on this issue is going to solve it? Where was McCain's valuable "input" on all the other decisions made without him while he was campaigning?

The Presidential debate last week was great because it just showcased that Obama has ideas, whereas all McCain has is the "Obama is inexperienced" argument. In my opinion, McCain has no right playing that card after picking Palin, whos only political experience is voting against people's rights and being able to see Russia on a sunny day from her home in Mooselandia. She's going to look like such an uneducated backwoods hick in the upcoming debate, and that pleases me greatly.
