Idiot of the Week!!!: Andrew Brietbart

the idiot repbulican blogger, that's a fracin' oxymoron, for snipping and clipping shirley sherrod's reconciliation speech into a racial indictment. from the looks of it he is also has a great fashion sense...oy.


and the runner-up is secretary of agriculture tom vilsack for firing ms. sherrod without the facts. and the most important fact that mr. britebart is a racist teabagging idiot republican who would slander his mother for a dime and a moment in the spotlight. mr. vilsack apology aside you are a moron.

Daniel Silva's 'The Rembrandt Affair'

i love this espionage series centering on gabriel allon a former israeli intelligence operative who'd rather restore priceless art than get caught up yet again in covert affairs. gabriel is the israeli equivalent of jason bourne.

i can only recommend you start at the beginning and work your way to the newest 'the rembrandt affair'.*

happy reading and l'chaim.

What Is Going on in My Mind Today?

when will they ever learn...when is enough just enough...this is always on my mind and more so since i have a nephew in afghanistan...it was his choice and i force myself to accept it...these two wars are STILL pointlessly wasting life and treasure.

aj cook turns 32 today. 'criminal minds' is writing her out this coming season. i may be writing off one of my favorite shows. this is all due to the ridiculous salary they are probably paying oscar winner forest whitaker for the spinoff. if the series lives up to the awful pilot i am for sure writing that one off. well happy birthday aj. you have the looks and the talent. you should not be unemployed for very long.

rumor has it: joseph gordon-levitt as the riddler in chris nolan's next 'batman'. he did well by nolan in 'inception'. he's perfect casting.

shirley what the frack were they all thinking???

The Pillars of the Earth' Premiers on STARZ Tonight

This epic tale of passion and greed begins when a mysterious secret disrupts the succession to the English crown and an unlikely member of King Henry’s family takes the throne.

Meanwhile, Bishop Waleran Bigod and the Hamleigh family manipulate the conflict to satisfy their own ruthless ambitions. Within this tumultuous setting, Prior Philip fights insurmountable obstacles to keep Kingsbridge and his dream of building a magnificent cathedral alive. The task is daunting, but master-mason Tom Builder, his gifted stepson, Jack, and noblewoman Aliena work together to achieve their dreams. And in the process, the long-hidden secret is revealed.

Premiering July 23, The Pillars of the Earth will be the epic event of the summer.
