About time…

It’s ok to think of Palin as a “Pit-bull with lipstick” which pretty much means a “Bitch” since why would a male pit-bull wear lipstick…. not that a female pit-bull would….

But not ok to use the word “lipstick” in any other sentence with any other kind of animal since I guess Palin now “owns” the word lipstick…

Like McBush has….

3 times….

Can anyone ‘splain this to me?How Do I Feel?: confused confused

About time…

DOH!

Murphy: It’s not going to work.

Noonan: It’s over.

Murphy: But still McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech to do himself some good.

Todd: I think this was insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson… She’s never looked comfortable with this.

Murphy: they’re all bummed out

Todd: I mean is she really the most qualified woman they could have turned to?

Noonan: The most qualified? No. I would think they went for the, excuse me, political bulls**t about narratives…

Noonan: Every time Republicans do that, because that’s not where they live and it’s not what they’re good at, they blow it.

Murphy: You know what’s really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism and this is cynical.

I agree with this comment 100%.

I actually had a “hissy fit” last Wednesday when I read about the “Greek Parthenon” setting Obama was going to have at his speech (And I am still shocked that it was not spinned the way I was scared it would be, but that just proves how good that speech really was) and I read that McBush was going to have a woman VP, I totally thought it was going to be Hutchinson and IMHO, if it was, we would have 4 more years of McBush, but now I am confident we will get change and not more of the same.

In the future, this “well thought decision” will be McBush’s Waterloo.

How Do I Feel?: calm calm

Batman: The Dark Knight… and other comments.

Finally all the little screaming earthlings are back in school where they belong, so we went and saw the movie I have waited my entire life for, the movie where the REAL Joker is finally portrayed how he was intended to be, a completely insane psycho path. If you have never read “The Killing Joke” it’s a must, there is also a couple novels of short stories of Batman and the Joker that have MANY great stories in them, most are very dark and shows how much enjoyment he gets from torturing/murdering people.

Man I was so into that movie, it was the fastest 2.5 hours I can remember and I am drooling about the day it comes out on DVD. Health Ledger went out on top, I am not one to say “give him the Academy award since he died”… but I do think his performance was extremely powerful and I think he should win the academy award for his work that he did in it. I have been a huge “fan” of the Joker since I can remember and as much as I liked Ceaser Romero no one has ever come as close to Ledger in portraying the Joker as he is in the comics/stories.

No idea why I have always been attracted to the dark characters but I am, maybe I have evil in me? Well, at least more evil then I would admit?

I just loved that movie, from production, to story, to characters to the actors, it was just so well done and I am even happier that this is the first super hero movie I can think of that the “Masked hero” didn’t reveal his secret identity to someone else. I really thought at the end he was going to take his mask off and I was getting mad just thinking about it, so when he didn’t reveal himself I was ecstatic!

I can’t wait for the next one, I love the idea where the Batman is “wanted” so now its 1 man versus an entire city.

But of course, there will be no more Joker in the movies, at least I hope not, no one but Heath Ledger could have pulled this off.

Damn, why do the great ones die too soon?How Do I Feel?: pleased pleased
