Do I look like I have a plan?

Alright, folks. You, the people, have spoken (a few of you, anyway). The new poll question has been decided and is now up for you to voice your opinion. So get to it. You have til Friday night. Enjoy!

Meanwhile, I saw The Dark Knight this weekend. Twice. It's that freakin awesome. Like Batman Begins, and to an even greater degree, it really transcends the "Comic Book Movie" genre to just being a great movie. As far as Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker, I agree that it's Oscar-worthy and career-defining. Never before have I simultaneously greatly anticipated and greatly dreaded a character's next on-screen appearance so much. My only issue with all of the praise that Ledger has received is that it takes away from focusing on how spectacular the writing was, as well. A great performance is only worth anything if it is a performance of great material. The Joker was truly a team effort. The way that they treated his character was brilliant. So I hope the writers and director get credit, as well. But still, you can't say enough about Ledger.

So there's my take on it. Sure, it's no Barnes at the Movies, but what is?

It's sad cos it's true. It's funny cos he's British.

I know, you probably didn't really want to sit thru all 3 of those videos full of dry, but still fascinating, material. So, I've done you a little favor. I found a shorter, more entertaining clip which is still quite compelling. It's part of a presentation by a man named David Icke. Now, a lot of the other stuff he talks about is total crap, but this is pretty good. So enjoy, and you're welcome.

Just doing my part

You may be tired of reading my posts about global warming and how we are so not the cause of it, so I'll let you watch some videos of other, more knowledgeable people talking about it. It's a nice little visual dose of truth. And it's so good and truthy, this dose comes in 3 parts!

The first part includes fun stuff like showing that the famous, and immensely important, "Hockey Stick Graph" is actually total bupkis:


This section blows a hole in another graph showing rises in temperature related to rises in CO2.


And now the dirty politics of Global Warming.


Convinced yet? Well, that's not totally my goal. If anything, I just want to try to show people that the debate is not over. My side may or may not be right, but it's definitely credible and deserves to be heard.

More to keep you coming back

I've done a little updating on the blog here. One new addition is a poll on the side. I'll try to have a new one every week, starting on Monday and going thru Friday, and I'll keep the results up over the weekend. This week's poll: What do you want the first poll question to be? Respond, and the winner will be the question for next week. You can also leave comments on any post suggesting questions that you'd like to see.

I also added a new links section called "Issues," where I have links to websites covering the obviously correct sides of various debates and such. Check it out.
