- With all this talk about the Jonah Hill-written/produced/starring production of 21 Jump Street has me thinking about just how cool of a concept it originally was. Baby-faced cops fighting high school crime. No wonder it was successful on the fledgling Fox. Granted in other teen movies, those same characters would be the hated narcs who were wrecking everyone's fun, but it is all a matter of perspective really.
- I finally get Kanye West, and I feel so silly that I didn't see it before. Kanye West is a troll. As a veteran of the internet, I should have seen it earlier, but really, I wanted to give him as limited a benefit of the doubt as I could. But honestly, it is so obvious looking back on everything he has ever said or done publicly, because the idea that this isn't just an Andy Kaufmanesque act scares the living crap out of me.
- There is a Republican Senator who has revealed that he doesn't believe that global warming is a problem because of the covenant God made with Noah, so it just can't happen because when God wants to destroy us, he will. And that man, John Shimkus wants to head the Committee on Energy and Commerce. I am sincerely interested in reading/hearing the things he was saying about the prospects of nuclear annihilation during the Cold War, because I am sure there was also a pithy little passage in there about it not being possible because of another covenant with God. But he doesn't want Iran to have nuclear weapons (I don't either, but that is another story), so I guess he does believe mankind can mess up the planet. Hmmm. Interesting. *facepalm*
