Since McCain May Not Make It
According to the Social Security Administration, McCain has anywhere between a 1 in 5 to 1 in 10 chance of dying in office depending on how you factor in his skin cancer, his POW time, and the fact his mother is 96. That in mind, we need to begin taking a serious look at the person who may succeed him if he does not…

Movie: 28 Weeks Later
If it wasn’t for tons of blood, guts, bullets, and fire, this one had nothing, but what can you expect from a sequel to a film that didn’t need one? Where the first broke some new ground in the whole “people are more f’d up than zombies,” this one simply tried to hard to hit on that one again and failed miserably. It was…

Movie: The Wizard of Oz
We all know this one so well that it is likely a waste of time for me to review it, but whatever, I feel like writing right now. Easily one of the best films ever made, and it is from 1939! The effects are pretty awful, but something I cannot put my finger on makes it oh-so immersive… Maybe the fact we grew up…
