1. The Global Warming Terrorist
A classic.
Global warming believer, Osama Bin Laden chimes in on cap & trade...

QOTD

"... bin Laden warned of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring "the wheels of the American economy" to a halt."
- OBL, Bin Laden blasts US on climate change

Applying the Obama doctrine that we're provoking these poor guys, I hope I'm not out of place suggesting that OBL's motivation here may not be pure. It's possible that he's just jealous of Gore and Obama and is gunning for a Nobel Peace prize of his own.

2. The Nuke-ular President
And our leftie dream President chimes in on nuke-ular power:


QOTD2

"I see an evolving attitude on energy by the president... up until now, the administration has been pursuing a national windmill policy instead of a national energy policy, which is the military equivalent of going to war in sailboats."
- Sen Lamar Alexander, source

It'd be "the best" to see nuclear power actually gain traction under President Obama. Hey, I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

BTW, Wikipedia says this about power output:

• Your average nuke plant puts out 500-2000 MW (mega-watts)
• Your average wind turbine generates 1.5 MW
  

So, you pick... one nuke or 1,000 windmills littering the landscape.

Osama global warming and Obama nuclear power... too funny.

1. Movie Verdict
Movie: "The Verdict"
Review: 5 bill-stars (out of 5)... outstanding!

Why 5 bill-stars for this tiny, tiny movie?
Paul Newman, Jack Warden, Charlotte Rampling, James Mason... directed by Sidney Lumet.
Magic.

QOTD

"I know how you feel. You don't believe me, but I do know.

I'm going to tell you something that I learned when I was your age. I'd prepared a case and old man White said to me, "How did you do?" And, uh, I said, "Did my best." And he said, "You're not paid to do your best. You're paid to win."

And that's what pays for this office... pays for the pro bono work that we do for the poor... pays for the type of law that you want to practice... pays for my whiskey... pays for your clothes... pays for the leisure time we have to sit back and discuss philosophy as we're doing tonight. We're paid to win the case.

You finished your marriage. You wanted to come back and practice the law. You wanted to come back to the world. Welcome back."
- "The Verdict", (evil) James Mason on paying Charlotte Rampling to back-stab Paul Newman

I can't find (and snarf) a good picture of Charlotte Rampling from "The Verdict". Dang it.
I did find a fun article on some dude's fave scene in "The Verdict": The Paul Newman Scene I Can't Get Out of My Head



2. Global Warming Verdict
Ah, crazy 2 byte characters: Bjørn Lomborg.
øøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøø

I heart Bjørn Lomborg.
He's a common sense voice on global warming and in today's WSJ points out the obvious: even if you believe in global warming, the answer isn't carbon taxes or caps or whatever... it's innovation!

Lomborg calls for a sort of international research effort. None is needed, of course. As long as big money lies at the end of the rainbow, companies and countries will vie for the prize to the best of their abilities.

Funny one... I saw an op-ed by Joe Biden in today's WSJ titled, "The President's Nuclear Vision", and had a quick flash on President Obama (finally) calling on nuclear power as a part of our energy solution. Dop. No, it was some crap about nuclear weapons. Sigh. Other than the vapid "green jobs" mantra, the Obama administration continues the tradition of not having an energy policy in the US. Dop.



3. Socialism Verdict
Is America in the process of telling socialism's most buxom salesman to pack her bags and hit the fucking bricks? Golly, wouldn't it be great. Almost too much to hope for. But aren't we leaning that way? Just a little?

The President Obama buzz/cult of personality seems to be waning a bit. Not his personal popularity. That will not be impacted by anything. Look at Bill Clinton. But President Obama's agenda is ebbing: health care, can & trade, massive government spending and intervention.

And where are the repubs during this void? I mean, Obamacare has been knocked on its ass... where's the repub retort?!? Competition across state lines. Tax credits for people who can't afford it? Malpractice reform?

Or, where is the Newt Gingrich for 2010's redo of the 1994 elections?
Where is the dang Contract With America for 2010?

I heart America and her defining tradition of freedom and rugged individualism. I believe!
peace... yow, bill

1. Blatant bias
There has been a shift. I think.
In the last decade, the notion of even pretending to be an unbiased news network has been completely discarded. FoxNews leans to the right. CNN is now the FoxNews of the left. MSNBC is a train wreck. ABC/NBC/CBS... who cares.

A little anecdotal evidence of this (from a rightie site, Newsbusters)...
The MA election of Scott Brown was "important" and was expected to have a substantial impact going forward, especially if the repub guy won. The Newsbusters article below shows how much of each candidate's acceptance speech was covered by each network:


I detailed here at williamt what jags CNN were when this Scott Brown guy won.
At this point, I know of no unbiased news source on the tube.

2. Movie Review
Movie: (500) Days of Summer
Review: 3 bill-stars (out of 5)... just ok.

Pretty vanilla girlie movie about a girl named Summer. It was pleasant enough... hence the 3 stars. Yawn. It was a good date movie, I reckon.

This decidedly 20-something movie is replete with 70's and 80's music.
Why don't 20-somethings have their own music? Curious.

The role of Summer is played by a girl named Zooey Deschanel. She's quirky hot, I reckon (again):

Zooey?

Anyway, she sort of reminds me of quirky hot 40-something Nancy Kerrigan:


Please don't email me that I said Nancy Kerrigan is hot. I know I said she's hot. Look, I'm not saying she's brilliant or a role model for my many children or going to win the Nobel Peace Prize (on second thought)... I'm saying she's a quirky hot little 40-something.
So get bent.

Book: "Consent to Kill" by Vince Flynn
Review: 5 bill-stars (out of 5)... the best!

Sweet mother Mary... an easy 5 bill-stars with the boffo ending.
What the hell is my problem... boffo start, middle and end!

Couple days ago, I'm looking at the book with less than a hundred pages to go, and I'm thinking, "How the heck is he going to wrap (Rapp!) all this shit up so quickly?"
Oh, that's how. Good lord!

Jeez, a great great guy read.

QOTD

As he turned to head back into the house he found himself staring down the length of a thick black silencer at the face of the last man he wanted to see. Abel dropped the bag of groceries, and said, "I can explain."

"I'm sure you can." Rapp took half a step back and then kicked Abel in the balls, dropping him to the ground.
- "Consent to Kill", Vince Flynn

I've read a couple articles on "Consent to Kill" being Mitch Rapp's first appearance on the big screen (like this one).
Fine.
I'll bet they screw it up though.
I don't know.
I haven't ever watched "24" except as (incessant) commercials during football games, so who knows. I think "24" and Jack Bauer are the closest thing to Mitch Rapp... just watered down.

"Potomac climate medicine will be scientific when every last data point and every last line of code are posted on the Web.

2. Alternate Sarah
I saw Sarah Palin on FoxNews for the first time.
Sigh.
She's getting bad advice.

She was answering questions on what she does to relax. I'll paraphrase. Run. Hunt. Fish. Relax.
The friendly interviewer (O'Reilly) looked at her like she was an alien.
"So, you've got like a refrigerator full of animals you've hunted or something?"
"Yeah."

There's an alternate universe where Sarah Palin asks me for advice:

• Stay as governor of Alaska. You can do that for 12 more flipping years, kick ass, and still be a young presidential candidate.
• Sell your books. Make some $$$. Get paid to lecture. Make more $$$.
  
• Don't be a FoxNews girl. Don't play the game for max cash... play the game for max longevity.
• Stay in Alaska. Let the world come to you, rather than vice versa.
• And guess what. If the world never comes calling... you've got millions of $$$, and a wonderful family and lifestyle.
  

I heart Sarah Palin.

So, some repub guy from MA won... hopefully stalling Crappy ObamaCare. I ought to trademark "Crappy ObamaCare (TM)". Who knows if this election is really important, but it certainly garnered the news spotlight last night.

The guy is Scott Brown. He had that great "the people's seat" tag line.
So, pretty big deal.
Pretty big Obama setback.
So, I invested 10 minutes in "legitimate" media.
CNN.
And CNN's coverage:

1. The repub guy won.
2. Showed some bizarre nearly naked photos of him from the 80's (no, I not kidding)
3. Called the guy a few names, like "obscure", "inexperienced", "populist", etc
   
4. Blamed the loss on the guy's dullard dem opponent, Marcia Coakley or something
   

CNN is the Fox News of the left. No diff.
MSNBC is so stupid, I don't think they call themselves a news channel any more. I don't think.

Once I stopped to consider how dumb all this was... 4 point something seconds of action followed by guys picking themselves off the ground, walking back to the huddle, talking about what to do, walking up to the line... argh, exasperating!

The worst is the video replay of the boredom. The worst of the worst is when they run the video replay and then overturn a correct call.

Movie: "The Road"
Review: 3 bill-stars (out of 5)... really good.

I gave the book 4 bill-stars: Desolate Desolation.
The movie was really, really good.
Just not as good as the book. How could it be?
The subject isn't too endearing either... bleakness. I thought they did pretty well though, and it wasn't really boring at all. In fact, it might have been a better movie if we felt some of the boredom and mundane desperation that you feel in the book, rather than the more episodic nature of the movie.

Look, Viggo was better than I thought he would be. But still... casting Viggo and Charlize Theron as post-apocalyptic survivalists... jeez, they're too hot. I don't care how you muss them up.

From my previous post... "everything has two handles, one by which it can be borne and one by which it cannot."

1. Solar Calculation
You know that global warming bugs me.
It also bugs me that real information is so hard to get.
Forget about $$$ and practicality and logistics for a second... if we had perfect solar panels with perfect batteries and all, how big a solar panel would we need for your average house?

It looks like the average household uses roughly 1,000 kWh/month; that's "one thousand kilo-watt hours per month". Give each month 30 days and we get about 30 kWh/day consumed. [source]

It looks like the power of the sun in Chicago is roughly 4 kWh/m2/day; that's "Four kilo-watt hours per meter squared per day. [source]

Let's divide, shall we: 30 kWh consumed / 4kWh/m2 = 7.5 m2 or "Seven and a half meters squared". So, a perfect solar panel would have to be 7.5 meters squared to power the average house. But solar panels are only about 20% efficient (source), so you'd need a panel 5x that size to do the job: 35 meters-squared.

That's pretty big. 6 meters x 6 meters.
But let's say efficiency doubles over the next 10 years, and let's say we only want/need to cover half our energy via these panels. That reduces our panel area by 4x to 9 meters-squared, or a 3x3 meter panel. Reasonable.

I'm tired and rambling... the point is solar is close to making sense. Closer than silly windmills. And of course, nuc-ular is better than solar. All this fossil fuel and global warming nonsense is addressed with a modicum on invention, which we are well on way.

Cap and trade and such... taxes and control, not about energy or warming or whatever.

Review: 4 bill-stars (out of 5)... really good

Such a great treat for me... I found Ann Tyler's new book on New Year's Eve.

Ann Tyler is one of my favorite authors, and "Noah's Compass" is pretty typical. Her stories focus on regular people going through pretty much regular stuff... no plot twists with Mitch Rapp or anything. He he.

This was a very enjoyable read: 4- bill-stars.
Ms. Tyler's writing style is so smooth... it just kind of ambled along. No biggie.

I thought Ann Tyler's "hook", Noah's compass, was kind of smarmy. Noah didn't need a compass "because the whole world was underwater"... get it? Meh.
Anyway, here's my favorite QOTD from the book:

"Epictetus says that everything has two handles, one by which it can be borne and one by which it cannot. If your brother sins against you, he says, don't take hold of it by the wrong he did you but by the fact that he's your brother. That's how it can be borne."

Two "up" movies on New Year's Day.
Just a coincidence, but a nice 2010 omen, perhaps.

Movie: "Up"
Review: 3 bill-stars (out of 5)... okay.

"Up" (imdb) was barreling toward 2 bill-stars and ignominy, but a nice, happy, sappy ending made it "worth it" for me. Good Lord, the sugar-sweet saccharin-y yuk of this movie. My teeth hurt.

I also find that I'm getting tired of the Pixar brand. The animation all has a similar feel. The scripts rely a lot on cliche, a "hook"... rather than something a little deeper or more interesting. "Up" has a very commercial, sterile feel to it. And you know that Pixar is Disney now, and gol dang if they didn't start the movie by killing off the Mom or, in this case, the Wife. (No, she wasn't shot by a hunter... he he) Still, it was weird and felt manipulative.

Movie: "Up in the Air"
Review: 4 bill-stars (out of 5)... great!

Jason Reitman made "Juno"... I think I like "Up in the Air" (imdb and website) even better. "Up in the Air" is a lot less cutesy than "Juno" and Clooney is the shit.

"Up in the Air" was funny and positive and interesting... strong, strong acting performances by Clooney and the girls and all. I have this predilection toward 40-something relationship movies these days (ha!), and a lot of this one rings true. It was really nice to think I knew where the movie was going and then have it not go there.

And the great topper was fun 40-something relationship movie chat afterward over faux margaritas. Life imitates art.
