What a big night for Sen. John McCain. He locked down the Republican nomination and can now begin securing a conservative base. Big night. This morning, I bounced around among the cable news networks when I saw that Dubya invited McCain to the White House on Wednesday for a lunch and an endorsement.

Bertrand Russell once wrote, “And Man saw that all is passing in this mad, monstrous world, that all is struggling to snatch, at any cost, a few brief moments of life before Death’s inexorable decree.”

We're in the midst of another award season, and with the Academy announcing their official Oscar nominations tomorrow night, I figured now would be a good time to post my long overdue entertainment (read: movies) blog. So, without further ado:

I'll start by correcting the Golden Globes' mistakes, that is selecting my own best movies and performances.

After spending a few hours blowing time on YouTube or Wikipedia or any other number of sites that people blow time on, I like to take a shower. It makes me feel filthy.

Just a quick observation.

As I punched in the MSNBC url on my browser (I certainly and unequivocally recommend Firefox), I skimmed over the big headline:

"Saddam's Party Welcomed Back in Iraq"

Underneath that, in the related box:

"Bush: 'Hope' Returning to Baghdad"

I didn't think about it at first. I just went along.

"Wait. What?!?" I thought to myself (I may have said it aloud, I was pretty shocked). "Bush regards the return of the Baath party as a sign of hope for Baghdad?" That seemed a bit counterintuitive, to say the least, so I read on.
