Movies n' stuff

Okay, I'm falling apart. I turned 50. Tennis elbow, for one thing. Now my right shoulder is acting twitchy and tender, aches after I swim. MyIronMan is just over two months in the future.

To say nothing of Obama's continuing campaigning. The man certainly isn't governing (see his undignified bashing of the previous occupant of the White House). He's breaking his promises left and right (so to speak).

Gotta love his choice for Supreme Court.

Says Judge Sotomayor, “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”

Just pause for a moment and savor that. What is she suggesting…pick our judges by their experience and cultural harmony with the case? Or, imagine the uproar if a Bush judge has suggested that a wise white male, because of the richness of his experience, would be more likely to reach a better conclusion than a Latina Woman. (cue the pitchforks and burning torches for the evil Republican)

This stuff is just maddening. I could not care less if the next Supreme is black, Latina, Asian...who cares, as long as they know the law are are willing to follow it where it leads? See another quote by de Judge where she identifies the place policy is made as being...not the Administration. Not the ballot box. No, in the appeals court.

Anyway.

Go see "Night at the Museum Two" A lot of fun, sweet, and with some very nice acting turns by Amy Adams (who captures the 30s Movie damerhythm perfectly) and Hank Azaria, who's just insanely funny.
