  • Lord of the Rings News

    I know I’ve been ignoring all of my normal blog sites when I have to get news like this through AP.

    Tolkien Estate Sues New Line Cinema.

    My geek card just lost a corner, I think.

  • Georgia is Off its Rocker

    I must sincerely apologize to the rest of the nation. I live in a state that has just selected, as the republican candidate, a repeat of the last administration. We are one of three states so far that deigns to give Mike Huckabee a shot at screwing up our nation even more. The other contenders? West Virginia and Alabama.

    I’m embarrased.

    In our defence, I will point out that it was relatively close. Huckabee won with 34% with McCain at 32% and Romney at 30%. It was not a landslide by any means. But still. Come on people. Look at him. He’s a bible-thumping god-whalloper. Haven’t we shown what bible-thumping god-whallopers can do in the modern era? Jimmy Carter! George Bush! Two of our worst presidents ever.

    Georgia has a long time to think about this. Hopefully, come November, we’ll vote with a bit more intelligence.
