So due to the fact that
Shaun of the Dead didn't start until four hours later -- *kicks movie theater* -- I went to see
Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry.
( In which I quote the best parts, try to see it from the nice, smart conservative viewpoint and the uninformed Bill-O'Reilly-Factor conservative viewpoint and promptly develop two new personalities I didn't want, and try not use the words 'Kerry' and 'Vietnam' in the same sentence any more than I have to. )In a related story,
how come every time there's a ballot mistake, it usually seems to end up in Bush's favor?EDIT:
Buildings of Disaster sculpture -- Damn, those are tasteless and tacky even for me. And when the hell did O.J.'s car chase become a
Building of Disaster? That is so not a building. The artist could seriously have gone back a few years if he or she was that desperate, you know. The Cocoanut Grove. The Kansas City Hyatt. The Iriquois Theater. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. H.H. Holmes' house of horrors. Hell, I'd even count the Ringling Brothers tent in Hartford in 1944 as a Building of Disaster before I'd count O.J.'s car chase. Sheesh. (Of course, with the exception of the Hyatt, those would require a sense of disaster history that extends before 1980.)

U.S. Raises Alert for Mount St. Helens --
The hundreds of visitors at the Johnston Ridge Observatory just five miles from Mount St. Helens were asked to leave. They went quickly to their cars and drove from the scene. I know it's getting serious there, but it's still an amusing mental image. "Say, did you people ever see
Dante's Peak? Because unless you bought your car's tires from Linda Hamilton, you might want to leave now, what with all of that exploding landscape and whatnot."
