Robin Williams on March 14 2007
Last night, thanks to
Netflix, I finally got a chance to watch “
Man of the year“, and came to a few conclusions:
1. It is not a bad movie as some critics suggested.
2. Robin Williams is a great actor but he will suck as a TV show host.
3. The use of cliché over cliché does not make my eyes more teary.
4. No matter how fast you return the movies to Netflix, you will always receive an average of 3 movies per week.
In short, it is not “wag the dog“, but it is still a good political movie.

I knew there was a reason I left DC and Wonkette helped me today to see how sparse the eligible male population really is there. Read one man’s blog post below, entitled “Paying The Price For All That Food Yesterday” and tell me it doesn’t somehow turn you off of men, if not sex, completely:
Well, I guess the huge salad, avocado, lentil stew, and iced cream yesterday was too much for me. I was up half the night with diarrhea (TMI?), and feel like a zombie today thanks to the lack of sleep, DST change, and dehydration. J and I are meeting S after work for happy hour today, so hopefully I can hang on long enough to have a beer and some non-spicy/greasy food. Not a good start to the week!One bit of good news today: environmentalist and awareness of global warming appears to be increasing among evangelical Christians. An article in Saturday’s Washington Post described how a prominent evangelical organization has embraced environmentalism over the objections of some of the more conservative preachers in the group. What caught my eye in the article was the use of the term “creation care” as a Christian-oriented environmental catch-phrase, which I think is a stroke of pure genius by whoever came up with it. It gives them the cover, I think, to embrace environmentalism without all that messy science and evolution stuff. Obviously not the way I view things, but the more unlikely allies we can gather, the better. Next time I chat with my dad, I’ll try out that line.
Only in DC does talk of politics trump bodily functions every time. Not to mention the friendly shtuck to good old dad. Still, you have to admire Mr.T In DC’s uncanny ability to mirror his own internal shitdown with the global warming epidemic.
