going to a meeting tonight...

Mary Kiffmyer will be speaking at our SD41 Republicans monthly meeting. It should be fun. I also hope to start blogging more often now that political season is heating up.

basketball...

for those of you who don't know I'm a big basketball fan. I just got finished watching the Cavs and Pistons (amazing game) and am getting ready to watch the Spurs and Mavs. Even though my beloved Wolves made a really big run in 2004 to the Western Confrence Finals, I think that overall this postseason (so far) has been the best in recent memory. At least since the late 90's with the Bulls and Jazz always getting everything they could handle but making it to the Finals back to back years.
Also for those of you new to my blog you can get a good idea of where I stand on most political issues here. This was written by my friend from high school Stevie Porter. I will someday go into my own detail about my views but I'm too lazy to now.

Bush's speech...

I'm mixed about about it. I like the idea of the nationial guard but I wish he had mentioned something about the Minutemen, they could be a big help if the government would just be willing to admit things are totally out of control and there are people out there that really want to help soley for the reason of patriotism.

Message to all the hippies

Check this CNN quick poll out:
What's a bigger incentive for you to leave the car in the garage?

It's Earth Day, save the planet 17% 6235 votes

High gas prices, save money 83% 30620 votes
Total: 36855 votes


So much for saving the planet huh? Keep fighting the losing battle, people care about the planet but we care about our pocketbooks first. It may be sad to some of you but that's life.

I'm back...

and now I have to establish a reading base again. I'll capsulate my opinions about the hot button issues that have been striking the headlines lately.

The stripper who is accusing those Duke lacrosse players of rape is scum, no DNA no conviction.

The DA is just trying to win points with the locals, that's the only reason he indicted them.

Gas is way too fucking high (Oil hit $75 a barrel today), for God sakes lets get going on alternative energy options, were all talk on that.

My Republicans are screwing up again and again and again, it's enough to make one go insane. My only comfort is that the dems are even more screwed up.

I'm going to a SD41 convention tommorow bright and early, maybe I can help them change some policies.

movie review

Also, congrats to Texas and I wish PM Ariel Sharon a full recovery.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was an amazingly done movie. It told a good basic good vs. evil story in 2 hours flat. It did have some connections to the Bible but they were very loose, the special effects were amazing and the fight sequence at the end was very well done. I would give it a 9/10 and I think that it should get some consideration for best picture but since it's a "kiddy" movie it won't.

movie reviews...

After a couple week layoff I'm back, and I am going to review 3 movies that I have seen over the past couple weeks.

King Kong was a very well done movie, a little bit on the long side though. In the end it did tell a good story and I would give it a 8/10

Fun with Dick and Jane is a comedy all the way and Alec Baldwin does a great job playing the slimy CEO of a bankrupt company who actually does get what's coming to him in the end. The movie isn't as funny as I thought it would be so I would give it a 7/10

Walk the Line is the story about Johnny Cash and they do a great job showing all of his ups and downs. From his brother being killed when he was young to him finally making it to his addiction of painkillers and finally getting to marry the woman he loves at the very end. This movie gets a 9/10 and will probably win a few Oscars in a couple months.
