In '04, my mom had the chance to help out Willie Nelson on tour, she got some passes to the show and to meet him back stage. We got some great pictures of the family with him, especially great ones with he and my Grandmother!

Domino Movie

I watched the movie "Domino" on saturday... seemed like an interesting movie when it came out a few months ago... Model turns away from the NY/LA/London/Paris scenes and becomes a bounty hunter. Yes, way before that idiot with the combover "Dog" on bravo... 8-)

It was a good movie, some very exciting moments and some great performances. Lucy Liu is only seen sitting down, for once a non-action role for her, but I did keep expecting her to get up and kick some ass. 8-)

Mikey Rourke is in exactly the kind of role that's perfect for him... dirty, tough, not really bright, but a real gritty ass-kicker. Good stuff.

Kiera Knightly was great in this... she has the model look, but didn't look afraid to get grimy and tough. It looked like the actress felt comfortable in the dirty, bloody, trash subculture.

Interesting thing is, the movie is based on the real life of Domino Harvey, daughter of a actor from back in the day... the original Manchurian Canidate movie I guess. It's a loose interpretation, fictionalized story, but with the real characters. Good stuff.

Overall, it's a good action movie... enjoy. The Movie's Site - IMDB listing

This is BRILLIANT!

Some people think this is about religion... could be... 8-)

Thoughts? I think it's spot on for some organized religions, but I do believe in the main man upstairs... humans however, are the problem.

Study: Bush tax cuts making rich richer

Report: The wealthiest Americans are reaping huge gains from reduced taxes on investment income.

President Bush's tax cuts for investment income have significantly lowered the tax burden on the richest Americans, reducing taxes on incomes of more than $10 million by an average of about $500,000, according to a report Wednesday.
...
These taxpayers, whose average income was $26 million, paid about the same share of their income in income taxes as those making $200,000 to $500,000 because of the lowered rates on investment income.

Nice. Thanks Mr. President.

What a day of news... If you aren't appaled, you haven't been paying attention!

Eric Haney, a retired command sergeant major of the U.S. Army, was a founding member of Delta Force, the military's elite covert counter-terrorist unit.
ince he has devoted his life to protecting his country in some of the world's most dangerous hot spots, you might assume Haney is sympathetic to the Bush administration's current plight in Iraq (the laudatory cover blurb on his book comes from none other than Fox's News' Bill O'Reilly). But he's also someone with close ties to the Pentagon, so he's privy to information denied the rest of us.

Q: What's your assessment of the war in Iraq?

A: Utter debacle. But it had to be from the very first. The reasons were wrong. The reasons of this administration for taking this nation to war were not what they stated. (Army Gen.) Tommy Franks was brow-beaten and ... pursued warfare that he knew strategically was wrong in the long term. That's why he retired immediately afterward. His own staff could tell him what was going to happen afterward.

We have fomented civil war in Iraq. We have probably fomented internecine war in the Muslim world between the Shias and the Sunnis, and I think Bush may well have started the third world war, all for their own personal policies.

The financial cost we are paying because of Bush and Cheney's no bid contracts, cronyism and incompetence: "US debt clock running out of time, space".

---
And what are we paying for? Two teams of government investigators using fake documents were able to enter the United States with enough radioactive sources to make two dirty bombs... Not much apparently.
