Mike Gravel Films. Playing at Sundance.
 
Mike Gravel does Fellini.

When asked, press spokesman Alex Colvin said, "Where he's coming from is that, it's less about him coming across with a heavy political message in this video, as much as it is the message of the impression the viewer will have, looking at him."

Listen, Alex. I feel your pain. You've gotta have one of the hardest jobs in show business these days, acting a press secretary to a nutball like Mike Gravel. But I've had a weird day, OK? I'm unmotivated, I've got crap to do but no real deadline in which to do it, and my afternoon basketball game, which was supposed to be a fun end to the week, ends up in a yelling match among half of the participants. I don't have time to exert mental energy trying to divine what the hell Mike Gravel is trying to do peering into my soul.

And the rock. WTF is up with the rock? Your candidate is creeping me out.

Durham DA behind the Duke lacrosse fiasco resigned Friday. He's still a fan of waiting until Friday afternoon to make announcements, I see. What's the current line on whether he'll be disbarred?

I guess chances of disbarrment are now hovering around 100%. Buh bye.

Appeals?

I'm a bit surprised . . . I might have thought a suspension for a few years instead.

Then again, this was worse than lying about a blow job.

Civil War

Are we seeing the start of an all Arab civil war (fundamentalists v. non) that will spread throughout the middle east? Is that ultimately a good thing (from an academic view, of course, in the sense of getting finality, not for all of the innocent people whose lives will be lost or torn apart)?
No war with fundamantalists can ever be a good thing because by definition their struggle is endless and they don't care about dying. It would be a good thing in that it contrates Arab violence in Arab lands, theoretically keeping them too occupied to attack the West. But other than that, I don't see much good coming out of it.

The world is in a larger war between the informed and the hopelessly regressed and ignorant. That's not ending any time soon. Or at least not as long as madrases keep teaching kids to read that nonsense rag about Muhhamed and people over here keep depabting evolution. I guess the best we can hope for is the fools who believe in the voodoo of the past will put down guns and try to debate. Perhaps we could give bin Laden money to build an Islamic Creationist Museum.

In fair and balanced bipartisanshipness, unfortunately, it should be noted, he was a Democrat.
