Maybe I don’t fully understand how the World Bank works, but why does the US get to nominate the head of the World Bank?? Shouldn’t the world do that??
Anyway, Bush nominated Robert Zoellick to head up the World Bank today.
Cindy Sheehan has decided to retire as “the face of the American anti-war movement“.
What a shame. The news papers will have one less crazy liberal to talk about. What will they do?
Earlier this week, there was a freaking huge pig in Alabama.
Now there is a giant monitor lizard loose in a Florida neighborhood.
Something bizarre is happening in the South. Well, more bizarre than normal.
It appears that officials have located the body of Patriots player Marquise Hill. He and a female companion were jet skiing on Lake Pontchartrain when an accident occurred. She was rescued and taken to a hospital in Tulane. Marquise’s body was found toady about a quarter mile from the accident location.
It a sad day for the Patriots, LSU fans, and the Hill family. Keep them in your prayers.
Patriots defensive end is missing after a jet ski accident in Lake Pontchartrain. According to the article, he was last seen by a female companion as he tried to keep her calm. She was rescued but he remains missing.
Here’s my question: how do they find her and not him if they were together??
Something seems a little strange here.
I hope they find Marquise.
Dario Franchitti wins Indy 500
Dario Franchitti won a rain shortened Indy 500 today. He’s also married to Ashley Judd. Life won’t get too much better for Dario. I think Rod Stewart put it best when he sang “Some guys have all the luck…Some guys get all the breaks.”
Lucky bastard.
Others aren’t as lucky. Like Danica Patrick, who has still yet to win an IRL event.
She’s a Fullerton teenager who talked her way on to the Stanford campus and lived in several dormitories for 8 months. That is impressive.
Don’t be surprised if Azia shows up legitimately in a couple of years as a law school student.
First of all, great name. Fatemeh Angela Harkness. It doesn’t even sound real .
So Fatemeh is going to prison for conspiring to embezzle more than a million dollars from a bank in order to start a NASCAR racing team. Sounds pretty cool, huh?? Even better, Harkness is an ex-stripper.
You have to give her some respect for being an entrepreneurial spirit and wanting to start her own business. Even if it did land her in jail.
I wonder if strippers are treated differently in prison??
Only in Alabama would this happen. This monster pig is supposedly even larger than Hogzilla.
That is either a fantastic photoshop job or they are going to have the biggest damn pork chops you have ever seen.
Finally saw Spiderman 3. And I have to say: it sucked. I’ll try to keep this brief.
For starters, they wasted the 3 villains in this movie. And I say wasted because there are rumors that the Raimi brothers are going to make 6 of these. To do six movies about the same superhero, you need villains that the general public will recognize. Beyond the Goblin, Doc Oc, the Hobgoblin, Venom and Sandman, you don’t have many characters that non-comic book readers will recognize. So to cram those last three into the same movie is a complete waste. There is no real character development on Sandman or Venom, so the viewer ends up not really caring about them. Throw in the fact that with 3 villains, you have to split screen time between them and you end up with what amounts to bit parts for Thomas Hayden Church and Topher Grace. The only reason Harry had any substance to him was because we’ve followed him through the 2 previous movies.
Add in the fact that we are also having to explore the dark side of Spiderman, and it simply becomes overwhelming. Each character only scratches the surface and we never really delve into them enough to give a damn about them.
This movie also had a lot more cheese in it than the previous ones. To make look Peter Parker look tough (after he puts on the black Spiderman suit), he does a disco dance as he walks down the street. I actually thought that I was watching an updated version of West Side story. Add that to the dance scene in the club and Peter brushing his bangs in his eyes to denote his toughness and you get an obscene amount of cheese for an action movie. (Harry acing like a complete tool didn’t help matters either.)
Bottom line, too many villains and too much cheese make this Spiderman one worth waiting for on DVD.
