Have fun on the blogs, but realize that manners count.

I believe that our government has lost its constitutional foundation. From its mismanagement of Social Security to its will to build monuments honoring itself, our government is wasting more money than Enron could dream of, and with less accountibility.

What makes things worse is that its officers are overpaid and overcompensated for their (mis)management.

I can understand why people don't like the republicans. But, for those same people to believe that the Democrats are the answer is risible.
A substantial argument can be made that the Democrats are the most corrupt party in the history of the United States. Their impeached, perjuring president, with his notable gassing of innocent children at Waco, gives them a slight advantage over today's republicans, who sat and watched, then did nothing.

If I believe we need better elected members of congress, does that make me a nutcase?

The biggest problem in the US isn't lying politicians. It's voters who lie to themselves.

And now for some lighter stuff:

This movie review about the remake of "the Day the Earth Stood Still" was
one of the better slams I've read in years:

"Simply put, the script is just howlingly awful, full of dialogue and situations that make it not just impossible but pointless to suspend disbelief. Mr. Derrickson tries to fill the screen with the sort of flashy sequences that viewers expect from this kind of movie, but the results are much more aw-shucks than shock-and-awe. The pulsing globe-of-light thing is nothing we haven't seen before, the giant robot looks like something out of an '80s heavy-rock video, and then there is Keanu Reeves as the alien, Klaatu. An alien who is all but emotionless and speaks in a monotone – isn't that the role Mr. Reeves was born to play? Based on previous performances, you might think so, and yet he still seems shallow and unconvincing. There are supposed to be some deep reverberations going on within Klaatu as he comes to realize that we humans have some good qualities beneath our hateful surface, but watching Mr. Reeves' face is like staring at a TV tuned to a dead station.

Keanu Reeves is a wonder star! You wonder why he's a star!
