I went to see Dream
I went to see Dream Catcher last night. It was an "ok" movie, if you like movies that play head games with you. I won't even try to describe it, because it wouldn't make much sense if I did. After that I saw Boat Trip. I know, I went movie crazy but I was a bit bored. I ended up walking out on Boat Trip. It's about two straight guys that accidently get on a gay cruise. I suppose it was suppose to be funny, but with all the gay swishy stereotypes displayed in this movie, I was disgusted and frankly above the quality of this movie. If this is what Hollywood thinks the gay community is today, they have serious issues (no surprise there).
It's a nice morning out. I woke at 8:00 and went to Monet's Table for my usual Saturday breakfast a little after 9. After getting home, spring fever got to me and I had to start my pre-spring activity. Nothing laborious - I ended up just blowing out all the winter sand that had accumulated in our garage after many snow storms. I cleaned off the driveway, and realized that I have a fair amount of work to do to get all my spring chores completed. It's too early to start now. I need to do some re-seeding and with the threat of further snow and frost, not even my crocus have shown themselves yet.
You got to love Molly Ivans. Once in awhile she says something the hit's my funny bone and even gets me to think about issues that never entered my mind. War is good business I suppose, depending on who you are. How do you think President Bush is going to rebuild Iraq? Out source the job to private US companies, of course. According to a Wall Street Journal article, "The Bush administration's audacious plan to rebuild Iraq envisions a sweeping overhaul of Iraqi society within a year of a war's end, but leaves much of the work to private U.S. companies". It's good for business. Read Molly's article today. I think you will enjoy it. An excerpt from the article:
The U.S. Treasury Department is supposed to help overhaul Iraq's banking system, and some U.S. government officials will serve as "shadow ministers" to oversee Baghdad's bureaucracies, the Journal reports. I have my doubts about this. If John Ashcroft has to run the Iraqi Justice Department as well as his own, how's he going to find the time to cover up the boobs on statues and arrest prostitutes in New Orleans?

Minnesota Senate tables civil rights repeal. A bill that would have repealed civil rights protections for GLBT citizens in Minnesota was withdrawn from the state Senate on Friday after widespread criticism.
Sonicblue to File for Bankruptcy. It figures... I bought a ReplayTV device and paid for "life time service" for their online service. I wonder what's going to happen to that.
Finally.... I came across this picture and had a question about it. It seems to me that President Bush would be able to see better if he took off the lens caps. Maybe I'm missing something??
