    An Open Letter to Kinky Friedman

    I like the idea of Strayhorn dropping out if anybody should leave at this point. She is by far the worst of the three candidates and takes votes from each of the other three contenders: people who vote independent and distrust current systems (Kinky), people who claim to be different from Republicans (Bell), and people who tend to lean more conservative (Perry). I think the main issue comes with those who think that a Democrat is just a wolf in sheep's clothing, and therefore voting Democratic is not much of a change. I would like to think that Chris Bell would be different from Rick Perry, but my skepticism of differential between the two is like the Kerry-Bush lesser of two evils debate. Settling is not the right attitude for change. If Democrats want change and a little progression in politics, than for my money, there is no doubt that Kinky would bring the most change, and frankly, I've just had enough of the status quo from the two-party system.
    And on the debate, Kinky did not perform as well as the others, excluding Grandma, but that is because he is not a robot, he is human, and is not good at acting like a politician. To his supporters, that is their favorite quality about him, as he claims to be a statesman, not a politican. Very similar to how saying and doing are two separate entities, so goes my opinion in the Bell vs. Kinky debate, respectively.

    ...although Kinky saying "the internet is the work of Satan" was a little too extreme for my taste. Just keep the bigger picture in mind.

    Movie Review: Click

    Hey everybody, look at me, I'm Alex Bentley, movie snob. That should be your new blog subtitle. Sure the movie wasn't Oscar caliber, but is it really neccesary to dog this particular movie. Yeah, everyone knows what to expect in Adam Sandler movies, with the Rob Schneider cameos, the same slapstick humor, O'Doyle references for the oldschool Sandler fans, but bottom line, the movie was entertaining. There are definitely some movies where played out shtick gets old, a la Dumb and Dumberer, or any Wayans movie from the past 5-10 years, but entertainment value counts for something. Intelligent and humble moviegoers knowingly accept a movie like this for what it is, but can still find it worth the price of admission. The movie was at least humorous at times and while I don't claim this movie to be at the level of Phil Collins cool, I not only whole-heartedly disagree with you, but I also think you are a movie snob, and I cannot stand people like that. Perhaps you could change your name to Alex Cliche Movie Snob Stupid. Ohhhh!!!!! That's right, I cheered myself. What of it.
