Snakes in the tall grass



This is a tough one.  On one hand I feel for the cat, but the predator is, well, into predation.  I hate anonymous slash and burn artists, but appreciate the Web'spromise of anonymity, for the very reason that lawmakers hate it.   Poison penners are usually democrats, ugh, but CEO Chris Tolles also manages to stink up.

"We do not just give up people's privacy," said the Web site's CEO Chris Tolles. "We're very, very careful about that."

But Tolles said the discussions are not necessarily a license to run people through the mud. "If there is a line that's been crossed from a libel standpoint — and it seems reasonable — we do, in fact, cooperate with the courts."

Proud Mary said it right, in fewer words.  "One to watch."

Crime Drama

Great Escapes
Full Court Press
By now you prolly have a feel for how my movie preferences square with yours.  Because of the overthrow of our gummint, I've been taking refuge in movie fantasy of late.  Since I went a few years without watching hardly anything, everything is a wonder for me now, although certainly behind the times for the avid movie goer.  Here are two I recently watched on cable (Find Me Guilty was "on demand.")  Had never heard of either one, and both were utterly compelling.  FMG is a Five Star, or ½  BOOGERS pick for me.  My only prollem with it -- I  found myself rooting for mafioso Jack DiNorscio.  Didn't want to, but I did.  So will you.  True story, and funny as hell.  Ben, the "small person" lawyer is great.

Training his lens on infamous mobster "Fat" Jack DiNorscio (Vin Diesel) -- a man who decided to defend himself in court rather than rat out his cohorts -- acclaimed director Sidney Lumet (Dog Day Afternoon, 12 Angry Men) recounts the longest Mafia trial in U.S. history. Ron Silver and Annabella Sciorra co-star in this gripping legal drama, which draws its dialogue from actual courtroom transcripts

Anthony Hopkins needs no pumping up, he's always good.  Had never heard of this film though.  His nemesis in this film is terrific.  Never figured it out, or saw it coming. I give it 4½ stars, or 1½ BOOGERS
Anthony Hopkins stars in this legal thriller as Ted Crawford, a man who allegedly attempted to murder his wife and is now locked in a battle of wits with an assistant district attorney, Willy Beachum (Ryan Gosling). The D.A.'s convinced Crawford has blood on his hands, but Crawford is freed on a technicality, sending Beachum on an obsessive mission to prove Crawford's guilt -- even if he has to bend the law to make his case.

Anthony Hopkins needs no pumping up, he's always good.  Had never heard of this film either.  His nemesis in this film is terrific.

Chrissie's Dentist

Why Everyone Loves Chrissie
Hi
 
OH get this...LOL I had a dentist appt. today and he is a Republican. Nicholas and I kid him because the dentist will talk politics while he has the patient in the chair and their mouth all full of dentist tools and heavy on the Novocain. hahaha
 
The way we found out he was a Republican it was on one of my appointments and he and his assistant had that tube thingie in my mouth that squirts water while they drill kind of thing. It can really fill a person's mouth up with water if the assistant is not making sure to have that sucking tube with it to keep it ok. LOL I know lots of details but this is what happened. haha  For one second some of the water slipped past the back of my throat and I tried to swallow fast since it felt like downing just for a second.  He asked if I was ok and I told him. Sure I always like to be waterboarded. He laughed so hard and then he started to talk about how our troops should be able to waterboard or whatever they need to do to get information. From them on it we knew he was a conservative and he knew we were too. giggle
 
Anyway he has a TV in each of his treatment rooms and he keeps it on CNN and FOX depending on what it is set for that day. Today they were showing Obama in Ft.Myers making his stupid speech and taking questions. The dentist said ...." Look at that guy he is destroying our country. That stimulus bill won't stimulate anything, it is a stimulus for welfare and handouts and political. "
 
When he got done he said...." I drive my democrat patients a little nuts but I can't resist when I have a captive audience."  hahaha
 
I asked him if they complain and he said not really most of them like to debate him once he gets the dental tools out of their mouths.
 
As I was leaving I handed him one of my little cards ( it is like a business card) I hand out with my blog address on them.
