Call me a softie, but I have always enjoyed this little romantic comedy. Yup, Sorkin is a lefty and his movie is replete with liberalism. This movie was the launching pad for The West Wing, another liberal media-blast that I found interesting.
Anyhow, I love this little monologue even if I do not concur on all points. I was reminded of it the other evening when Obama stated:
It’s not because John McCain doesn’t care. It’s because John McCain doesn’t get it.
Whenever the movie is on I say the lines along with Michael Douglas, much to Gert’s consternation.
Growing up I used to watch the Carol Burnett Show. This pure comedy. And to think, it was done without going blue. How many comedians these days can be this funny without toilet humor?
Given the current disarray of the airlines, the following appears to be quite prescient. Enjoy!
Over the last several days I have broken out ol’ Silver. He had been sitting lonesome all summer. I first got caught up on a slew of podcasts I took half of June and all of July off from. Then I began with a stack, selected for no rhyme or reason, of CDs. The following music has been floating through my ears this week.
Grateful Dead Two From the Vault
Tom Petty Full Moon Fever
Dave Matthews Band Under the Table and Dreaming
Maurice Andre The Pachelbel Canon (and others)
Madonna Take a Bow (single)

Who would have thought that I would be linking to Paris Hilton video? And to think, I think she has done a wonderful job responding to her being dragged into the presidential race. Good job!
