Dinner and a Movie: CARWGBAW, Conejo en la Luna, Politics

Picture: Bucks in the back yard this morning.

That would be chicken and rice with green beans and wine along with the Mexican movie, Conejo en la Luna. Dinner was delicious; movie was horrific, good horrific. In a modern day thriller with police and governmental corruption and torture, the tension builds throughout the movie and in the end is not completely released. You come to hate the bad guys and want all sorts of despicable things to happen to them. I was very surprised by several of the reviews of the movie, some of which thought that the movie depicted real conditions in Mexico. Really? Wouldn't that be kinda like believing that the United States is depicted accurately in movies coming out of Hollywood and in our weekly television fare? (Is Las Vegas really as crime filled as depicted in CSI? Of course, I guess some people in far off lands do believe that what they see is really the way it is. Interesting. For now, I'll reserve judgment on conditions in Mexico - need more information from other sources.

Have you noticed that the presidential politics has heated up just a tad? Almost over, at least the primaries. Am assuming that decision date remains February 5th. My prediction: For the Democrats - Edwoba Clidod (Edwards, Clinton, Dodd or Obama). For the Republicans, looking for a dark horse to emerge, which means I don't have a clue. I do think that Richard Lugar would be a whole lot better choice than any of the ones now getting press time.

Tomorrow and Saturday look good for golfers, at least temperature wise.
