Asymptomatic

There must be intelligent life down here

State of the Union

I didn't get to hear all of it, since I was driving home from school at the time, but I got to hear a few words from the President's State of the Union Address and the subsequent Democratic response.

Let me say that I'm not too hopeful for the prosperity of our country as a result of hearing these speeches.

Silly meme: IMDb Top 100

I've saw that Emmie over at I Don't Think had this list of movies posted.  Apparently, the list comes from IMDb, the internet movie database, and is the first 100 of the top 250 movies as voted by IMDb users.

So, in an effort to conform, I present my list of movies.  The ones in bold are the ones I've seen.  The list was taken from today, rather than the one that Emmie and others are using. 

The King on the $20

I was pretty shocked at the news of the advocacy group that wants to put the King on the twenty.  They have put up a web site, putkingonthe20.com, that explains why they want the change and why he is more deserving of the honor than Andrew Jackson.  I haven't read the site, but I hear it's pretty informative.

You can see my impression of what the new $20 bill might look like here.  I think that they should do like they did with the stamps and use the image of Elvis before the weight gain.

Privacy Survey

I was browsing around at Popdex the other day and encountered a survey site.  Basically, it was a survey for bloggers produced by someone writing a paper for a college course or degree.

The survey asked many questions about who reads the web log, mostly oriented from the perspective that there might be people out there that you would prefer not to read your writings.  I can understand that.  There have been a few incidences where people have called me on things I've written up here.  But as I have described before, things here are how they are for a reason.

Rude People

After our outing to The Producers last night, I've been thinking about how rude people are these days and how they accomplish their rudeness.

All sorts of things happened that were rude while we were in the theater.  It's funny how I can go to the show unshaved and in jeans when I'm surrounded by fur coats and ties, but I've still got better manners than many of the idiots in the audience.
