On our trip through the galaxy, far, far, away, we visited a little tiny back water of a planet, Tatooine. They had the cutest space bar there. If not for the wretched hive of scum and villainy loitering around the place and scrounging up rebel trade cargo, then this hole in the wall bar would’ve been the perfect place. As it is, I recommend the snazzle tea. It will straighten your knickers and put hair on your bantha. Good drink.

“You know, for kids!”

That’s disappointing.

I can’t guess whether it’s the topics or the writing that generated this result. I know I write about meaningless stuff, but I try to write well, clear and concise. I guess doing so may make it easier to understand. I’m not so high-falutin’ here. I’m just a regular guy, a “Joe the Plumber” type of guy.

They concluded the presidential debates last night, but not all candidates were invited. In fact, only the Democratic and Republican nominees were allowed. (Or at least that was my impression as I didn’t watch any of the debates.) There are others running for the Presidency, former congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney, for one.

Cynthia McKinney is running on the Green ticket. She beat out Ralph Nader. Nader must be such a loser that even the Greens don’t want him to lead. McKinney might be more of the same. While I admire some of what the Greens stand for (environmental policies?,) why vote for these losers who will never get a chance to enact any of those policies you cherish?

The Green Party has an all woman ticket. Sarah Palin take note.

How many have your name?

Since I live in the United States, there is one of me. I don’t understand why they put the “or fewer” clause when the count is one. Unless you do this from outside the US.

You Belong to Me sounds like an interesting movie. It stars Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. She’s a doctor. He’s a millionaire. They meet on vacation. I suppose wacky highjinx ensue soon turning to love.

But the movie only sounds interesting. There was never a movie with that description with those two in it. It is almost real and very similar plot points to The Lady Eve. Yet, I think it’s all fabricated.

I got this link in my google search RSS feed for Barabara Stanwyck. I read it the site. I think it’s a spam site as lately this search RSS feed has been getting hit with spam sites. I apologize now if you’re on a Windows machine and it installs some kind of malware.

I can’t believe how sophisticated these spammers are. If you read the rest of the site, you’ll see some other movies that were made in the alternate reality Hollywood of the spammers.
