notes from Hollywood

Matt Damon is apparently making a movie sourced from a book that can't stay in print. Southie notwithstanding, let me suggest that the book in question leaves a lot to be desired. When Wikipedia can label a source "a synthesis of ... radical and revisionist historiography", you know it has to be at least a little lopsided.

One good sign that you're not actually an extremist is that you realize that even your enemies sometimes make a good point. Even though they are actually responsible for all the evil in the world, and you are justified in using all manner of methods in vilifying them further.

Honest: my last post on this subject

It's just been that kind of week, so this is my last post until after October 31 on the Republican nominees.

I just wanted to point out that, two decades ago, I was an atheist who drank too much and did much worse. I was 24, just like Todd Palin was. Stupid kids.

If that's the worst the DNC and MSM can do against the Palins, Obama's campaign is doomed.

UPDATED: From the National Review --

We can only hope those involved have begun to come to their senses, and that they recognize the magnitude of their failure this week. That doesn’t mean they should go easy on Palin: it makes sense to look into her past (as it would make sense to look into Obama’s past at some point before November too), and she certainly needs to prove herself tonight and beyond, as any vice presidential candidate has to. But the treatment she has received is not what just any VP candidate would get, and the attitude and assumptions underlying this week’s amazing assault raise very troubling questions about the cream of the crop of political reporters. They have shown themselves to be too insulated and too solipsistic to help the public better understand our politics, and too self-important to report on events as they happen. This is far more than media bias. Let us hope it is a passing episode.

And this is how we know we're beyond the pale: "If only he had taken in Hillary as his VP!" Newsflash for the mad masses: Hillary doesn't want to be VP as it would be beneath her to top out in the second-to-last seat.

I'm wondering

I read this op-ed in the Baltimore Sun and was trying to figure out why a this columnist would have so much venom toward Sarah Palin.

Susan Reimer

Sarah Palin

You can find Ms. Reimer's bio here, courtesy of the Baltimore Sun. You can find Gov. Palin's bio here, courtesy of Wikipedia.



Ms. Reimer doesn't have a wikipedia entry.

Any thoughts as to why Ms. Reimer would make a beauty pagent joke about Gov. Palin?

bigger than yours

I was reading this link, and I thought to myself, "dude: you're on the top of your ticket. I hope to whatever is right and just that you're right. The question is if you have more experience than the other presidential candidate."

You see? The McCain camp has put the DNC in the unenviable position of having to make the wrong comparison in order avert the "experience" question. For the DNC candidate to say, "I'm better than the RNC vice president, with more experience," is to say, "I am trying not to compare myself to the RNC presidential candidate."

Honestly: I hate it that I'm going to vote for McCain in about 60 days, but if he shows half the savvy in runnning this country as he did in the last 7 days in trumping the DNC convention, he'll make a passible president.
