Indiana Jones

My husband and I saw the latest intallment in the Indiana Jones saga. My recommendation is to wait for the DVD. It was disappointing. Harrison Ford is pretty much past Indiana Jones's prime. There was nothing new - just tired old plot lines and twists. It was pretty formulaic. There were funny moments, but not enough. It seemed stale and, dare I say it, boring. Never thought an Indiana Jones movie would be boring, but there it is. They should have left old Indy where he was.

Obama Spin

I don't know about you but I am SICK and TIRED of the following spin from the Obama campaign: "That was taken out of context," "He's not the person I thought I knew," "Failed policies of the past."

Well Senator Obama, exactly what did you say and how was it taken out of context? Is there anything you say that can't be taken out of context?

Senator Obama, who did you think he was and why did it take you 20 years to find out just exactly who he was?

Senator Obama, please define which policies have failed and how you would change the failed policies. Also, please name the administration under which those failed policies orginated. For example, has the welfare program failed? Did you know it was part of President Johnson's "Great Society?"
