...and good riddance.
Our beloved Attorney General, may his name and memory be forgotten, just resigned; he won't serve a second term. No word yet on his future plans or his successor (a matter which concerns me deeply - Gonzalez, the current White House counsel and architect of various plans to thwart the Constitution, has been described as a likely candidate, and the others likely to be even worse) but I certainly won't be sad to see him vanish.

Alas, a bit longer until he formally leaves office, so I can't legally state what I think of him quite yet. But I'm thinking it.

Current Mood: pleased

This is just worth sharing:
From a NY Times review of Polar Express:

It's likely, I imagine, that most moviegoers will be more concerned by the eerie listlessness of those characters' faces and the grim vision of Santa Claus's North Pole compound, with interiors that look like a munitions factory and facades that seem conceived along the same oppressive lines as Coketown, the red-brick town of "machinery and tall chimneys" in Dickens's "Hard Times." Tots surely won't recognize that Santa's big entrance in front of the throngs of frenzied elves and awe-struck children directly evokes, however unconsciously, one of Hitler's Nuremberg rally entrances in Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will." But their parents may marvel that when Santa's big red sack of toys is hoisted from factory floor to sleigh it resembles nothing so much as an airborne scrotum.

Current Mood: busy
