    If there is ever a re-enactment of this event, I want it to be directed by Quentin Tarantino and involve Hillary running up a banister with a sword in her hand.

    @Pope John Peeps II:

    1. It has a good song by Leonard Cohen
    2. It has my hero Shaun Tomson in it
    3. It features ground-breaking (?) surfing from the 70's
    4. It's from "Bustin' Down the Door," a film that documents the invasion of the aussies into hawaiian big wave surfing, and thus ties to the global nature of our subject matter.
    5. It's environmentally friendly.
    6. Happy Holidays

    I keep hearing and reading about all this deep regret about the current administration ~ apparently people have forgotten what the alternative was.

    @Bahrovian: There was never a choice between Obama and Palin. But in the primaries, we had other options. I think Obama is doing fine, given what he's got, and I wasn't a young starry-eyed kid when I placed my vote for him. It's just that there are things that seem he could be doing that he's not, and it looks like he's given in to politics as usual.
