A hearty shout out to my Sons and Daughters of Abraham out there. Tonight into tomorrow is a very reflective and special time of year in the Jewish faith. I hope we all use the time wisely to reflect on our families, our health, and our nation.
Just a quick note here as I am still getting over the tummy bug as mentioned in my previous post. Not alot to talk about
I mean, I COULD go on for ages about the negative McCain ads, and the attack dog rhetoric of Sarah Palin. However, I can't deal w/ it right now. I"m spent. Steve Schmidt, and John McCain are prostitutes, and should be ashamed of Themselves.
It IS awesome that David Brooks of the Times called Palin a "Fatal Cancer to the Republican Party"... That' s hardcore stuff, "my friends"!!
The debate was underwhelming, but helped consolidate what a master politician Barack Obama is. He bobbed and moved, and was So presidential, so slick. To reference a 1990's boxing icon, he was a true Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whittaker! It was a great performance.
I believe that the McCain "That one" comment and gesture may be studied in years to come when students of debate learn what not to do when debating for the Presidency of the United States.. Much like Gore sighing while debating GW Bush, or Bush Senior looking at his watch while debating Clinton, etc.
On a pop culture note, Project Runway rocked tonight !!!!! Not to mention that I heard "Devil Inside" by INXS on the radio today! Talk about memories....

What the Hell Ever Happened to Mickey Rourke!?!?
I was thinking that he is the perfect example of a Hollywood star, who (some of the time) made edgy, stylish films in the 1980's. I remember falling in love w/ NYC because of "The Pope of Greenwich Village" and I had an "Angel Heart" Poster on my wall in college. He was such a dickhead that he burned pretty much every bridge in Hollywood. Aside from a few supporting roles here and there , Mickey has been gone for a long time.
I know, I know his face looks fucked up big time. Like, how much plastic surgery can one guy from Miami take?? It seems like Mickey is on the verge of quite the career comeback! I am totally psyched for his new movie "The Wrestler". It was directed by Darren Aronofsky, the director of "Requiem for a Dream" C'mon, I know I'm not the only person who remembers that mind trip!
Apparently, The Mick plays an aging, 1980's star, now broken pro wrestler named Randy "The Ram" Robinson, who invites people into his trailer to watch his 1980's self on a video game, when he is not engaging in indy wrestling matches where he takes a staple gun to his forehead. There is serioius Oscar Buzz (for real). I'm hearing things like "touching performance" and "I cried" from the reviews I've heard from the Festival Circuit.
Good Luck, Mickey! Here's hoping you have a career rejuvination!! I still remember the great actor you can be if you center yourself.
While I'm posting, I gotta give a shout out to my main man Rollie Robeast His musings on the posturing of elected officials is not only written w/ great Jersey gusto, I think he is right on the money!! Way to go, Rollie!
Did anyone catch Letterman's performance vis a vis John McCain cancelling the show at the last minute?? Have you ever experienced (and it can be both good and bad) television, that was so electric (again, both either pleasant or unpleasant) that you: a) can't believe you were lucky to catch it b) you almost thought it was fake because it was so real? Simply put, this was one of those "electric" viewing events! Dave was so on! He literally threw a TON of barbs McCain's way. Awesome.
I would also be remiss to not mention that Sarah Palin kind of had that deer in headlights look while being interviewed by that (not) notoriously tough interviewer, Katie Couric. I think the Palin bump for John McCain may be quickly be a think of the past. I truly feel that even the most passionate Conservative, has to ante up, and say "C'mon now, this gal is not qualified". She really is a joke, right? Savvy, but a joke? Props to Chuck Hagel for saying it loud and proud!!
I have to end w/ some fluff! I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO psyched to see Mr Suede get voted off "Project Runway" last night. I HATED his talking about himself in the 3rd person! I know, I know, Kenley Collins is getting really big for her britches (she is always complaining about how they don't get her or that "this is REALLY hard"), but I hope she mellows out!!!
