Video Vault: John McCain- Prisoner of War

An American hero who deserves nothing but respect for his service to our country. This is a powerful video--especially the closing moments. I thank John McCain and all those who have fought and are fighting for America.

I support Barack Obama for President:

Film Trailer Vault: Marley & Me

Everything Jennifer Aniston does on screen bothers me--can't really pinpoint the reason why. Other than the casting--which, for most movies, seals the deal for me--and the fact it looks a little lite, I'm game for Marley and Me (I think I'm going to read the book, though, first ). I absolutely love dogs:

Firstshowing.net also has a nice post for those interested.

Crawford

Just finished watching Crawford, a new documentary about George W. Bush's Crawford, Texas. Certainly a unique lens by which to view the last eight years:

A Note on Unity

McCain's recent terror tactics is unacceptable. We need to remember what separates us from them. Today, at a rally, McCain instigated the racism and hatred that he vowed to rise above; today I am embarrassed by some of my fellow Americans. Obama's vision of hope and unity are strong ideals, but I have no interest in uniting with ignorant fools who think the hatred drenched in our past is the ideal for our future.
