Hello, We Are Back in Blogland

Goofy title for an entry, but I had to take the laptop to puterworld to get cleaned out, and it took a while for the geeksquad to get to it, but we are back in action for my many devotees. So, this entry will be a summary of a bunch of notes I made over the last week or so. Last Saturday La Palin came to Des Moines and gave her standard speech before 10,000 people who cheered her wildly. A couple days later Fox put one of her speeches on TV and she had husband and the kids with her, and little Trig was wrapped in a baby Republican elephant wrapper. This past Friday BHO came to town for an outdoor rally downtown, which blocked the main streets through town for several hours. Several thou people including went to see him. We heard him because it was difficult to get to the park site where he was at. He needed to have been put on top of a high podium so everyone could look up to see him. The speech was his standard one about changing everything. The speech did not seem to really rouse the crowd, unless you are a devotee and dote on his every word. He has been making some comments I do not really like to hear--about the Republicans being Nazis, and the Constitution being a dog because the Founders did not include anything in it about Redistributing the Wealth. And there is a little too much in his speeches about Him Changing Everything. I hope he does not have or get a Great Leader complex. The polls supposedly have him ahead of McCain. I just do not like Obama. He will probably become President, but I am not one of his fans. The Phillies won the World Series against the Rays, but America did not seem interested this year. I did not watch Obama's half hour show about himself on TV. The strangest show on TV of all time was Dirty Jobs Monday night with Mike Rowe out in Colorado helping some people dock the tails and castrating some sheep. Rowe and the gang biting the balls off the lambs with their teeth was a very strange and memorable TV event. Winter is coming on and this is the season when I watch movie videos, and I have watched a bunch of them over the last week. Do not bother watching Sadler's movie about the Zohan--it stinks really bad. Leatherheads is Clooney's movie about pro football in the 20s, and it is not really good either. I rented The Sting the other day, because I have never seen it, and was not impressed with it. Maybe I should watch it again to see what wowed the audiences in 1974, but maybe I just do not get wild over Paul and Robert as a team. And Sting is very long. And I watched a Japanese movie--An Actor's Revenge, and an old Fassbinder movie--Ali-Fear Eats the Soul, about an old German lady and her Moroccan boyfriend. Interesting movie you want to keep watching to see what happens to them in 70s Munich. And I found a tape of the old 40s movie The Devil and Daniel Webster. Not really very good, or maybe just dated. Or maybe it just brings back bad memories of high school English classes. I am going to get some classic John Wayne movies to watch some time this winter, but more on that next time we blog. Oh, how can I forget to relate that I finally found at a thrift store a VHS of a flick I have been looked for for a long time--Three in the Attic--a minor 1968 cult classic from American International about a college dude who has 3 girls on his string, and they lock him in an attic and take turns screwing him into a vegetable, but the flick actually has a happy ending. And Yvette Mimieux is the main girl, and she was actually quite a looker. Where is she now? Well, this will be all for right now. You take care. Di di mau!
