A Valerie Plame movie...really?

There is a growing trend in Hollywood of making movies that try to prosecute President Bush but then fail miserably. Well, they're up to it again with of all things a biopic about Valerie Plame. It's been well noted that Ms. Plame couldn't have been that important of a person in the CIA if she is able to be as public as she has been, but a movie about her? Movies about people who haven't died yet are generally bad unless it's an extraordinary personality. I don't believe that Ms. Plame falls into the category of extraordinary personality. Aside that the topic is probably destined to fail, if it needed another sign of failure, Nicole Kidman will be playing the lead. I hope they don't plan on making any money here. Ugh!

Bush asked to speak at Iranian university

In a switch from last week's debacle at Columbia University, President Bush has been asked to speak at Ferdowsi University in Iran. Of course the president isn't going to accept this invitation, but how interesting would it be if he did choose to go? Would he come off looking as bad as Ahmadinejad or maybe better. I suppose it all depends on what side of the argument you're on. Then again maybe the University is being as slimy as Columbia was in inviting Ahmadinejad only to verbally bash him.

Nelson Mandela Is Still Alive

This reflects quite poorly on our country. President Bush recently stated in a press conference "I heard somebody say, Where's Mandela?' Well, Mandela's dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas," South Africa is trying to spread the word that Mandela is still living, despite Bush's comment.
