The Right Spin

Well, I get some free time at my new job and since it appears there's at least two people who want me to blather I'll do my best.

So, what to talk about?

Saw Narnia. Cried like a little girl.

Saw Harry Potter. Meh. Just like the previous three.

What's with that anyway? Why do people like these books so much? They're all the same! Harry gets a year older, bad things involving Voldemort happens at Hogwarts and all the adult wizards around Harry are completely inept. Why is that entertaining?

I'm reading the Chronicles of Narnia. Finished "The Magicians Nephew" and I'm halfway through "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." They're very quick reads and seem to accomplish a lot more than the tomes that are the Potter novels.

In case you haven't noticed I think the popularity of Harry Potter is overblown. He's no Gandalf. Hell, he's no Pippin!

But, I usually talk about religion and politics so I suppose I should say something.

Bush has the legal right to wiretap foreign conversations without getting a warrant first.

I think blaming the moral decline of our society for events such as Katrina may not be without merit.

There. That should piss off some people.
