Watched 'Inside Job' last night .... amazing, there are definitely a lot of people who should be behind bars for the rest of their lives.
Really makes my blood boil what these 'so called Financial Engineers' were allowed to do to people, families, communities & countries and still allowed to walk away with millions.

I watched some of the Idaho Caucus coverage recently & it amazes me the extent to which people can get worked up over abortion or gay marriage & they don't have a word to say about the really big scandal of Wall St ... talk about having your eye on the wrong target!

I hear you there, Fran. Those politicians make such a big deal about unimportant things, and never look at the big picture. If gay people want to get married, so what? Who cares? Thats their business. No big deal.They worry about making stupid laws that make no sense and, like you say, dont say anything about the Wall St. scandal. I dont follow politics, its too confusing but from what Ive heard, these yo-yos who are running for office dont even know what the hell they are talking about. Also thats what big money does, if you have the bucks you can buy your way out of anything.

Scott Walker, your kingdom must come down!
...my apologies to Uncle Tupelo.
People can get pretty politically charged 'round here (Madison, WI). Until a good movie comes out.

I swear, these folks in the Madi-zone have got the same attention span as a tse-tse fly...

I cry at a few films, but for some reason the one that always really gets to me is Howl's Moving Castle. It's a Studio Ghibli movie, so it's Japanese anime, and it's one of my favourite movies EVER. There's this bit where Sophie (the main character) is convinced that she's killed Howl (the wizard that she's fallen in love with) so she goes into the past and sees him as a child, and finds out how to save him. I cry from then until the end! Of course it's happy tears eventually, but...STILL
