Based on his strong performance in last week's debate, George Bush has decided to write and direct his own campaign ads. The Poor Man has managed to obtain storyboards for the new ad.

(link snagged from [livejournal.com profile] gothic_peacock)


On a less humorous note, we saw "Silver City" this weekend. Dickie Pilager, a Senator's son who's about as sharp as a box of river rocks and flails horribly when he's not on script, is running for Colorado governor with the help of Karl Rove a pit bull of a campaign manager; his discovery of a corpse in a lake while shooting a campaign ad threatens to derail him if word gets out, and a private investigator is sent out by the campaign manager to have a talk with some people he thinks might just have enough of a grudge to plant something like this. His work for the campaign uncovers clues that end up leading places that Danny, also a former investigative reporter, didn't expect: undocumented migrant workers and coyotes, corporate empires (the "Bentel" corporation *ahem*), environmental regulations, high-priced lobbyists and the ties between all of them. Spoiler for the ending; skip if you plan to see it. )

whee!

Amazon.co.uk kindly provided me with my copy of "Shaun of the Dead" today. Time to find out if the region-free hack really works on my DVD player.

Note to self: no matter how perfectly the song goes with the ambient conditions, don't listen to Jeff Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah" seven times in a row while driving home again. Once, maybe twice, would've been just fine. Try counteracting it with something light and poppy, like "Brimful of Asha".
