Here is the League of Pissed-Off Voters' Election Guide. It has some good insights, although I disagree with their conclusions on some of the referenda. Good info for things like judicial races, though. I was having a horrible time deciding between Ranum and Piper, so now I'm just going to write in Piper for seat 58. It can't hurt, and I don't want to vote for either of the people running for that seat anyway.

I saw "Burn After Reading" with my folks last night. It was amusing, but I'm really excited about the fact that the movie the Coens are currently filming is mostly full of unknowns. I like my films a little more farcical, please, and Brad Pitt just isn't conducive enough to that.

the hedge abides.

You gotta admit... Brad Pitt was still a lot of fun in that role.

Really, it was an excellent movie. But I will absolutely admit to holding the Coens to a higher standard than everyone else. It wasn't consistently strange enough for my preference. Kind of like Intolerable Cruelty. Impeccably acted and shot, and really pretty twisted when you look at it objectively, but I miss all the goofball moments.

Fair enough. I also don't think it's one of their stronger efforts... which still means it's better than 90% of all movies out there.

Precisely.
