Sunday funnies: North Korea opening, Dems, Impeachment, NFL, Movie

-Read this the other night and then forgot to post it: From the NY Times: This is good news about North Korea: opening up its borders and allowing tourists in for a peek. Some of the tourists, born and raised in one of the cities being visited, have not seen the place in over six decades.

-Obama: 12% bump with win in Iowa. Wow! Watched the Dems debate on ABC late last night. Several good laughs, way too many I's, and that other moderator, not Charlie Gibson, was excellent in that he asked very good questions and then followed up on them with equally tough questions. Hillary was good; Edwards doing everything including body language, to try and exclude her and make it a two person race (not gonna happen, big guy). Here's the NY Times write up of the debate - lots of Hillary in it.

-From WaPo: George McGovern wants to impeach both Bush and Cheney. It's the right thing to do though improbable.

-Watched Jacksonville come back and beat Pittsburgh last night. That late fourth quarter run by Garrard was a thing of beauty. I would just as soon have whoever goes to Boston next week, probably Jacksonville if the Chargers do what everybody expects them to do later today, knock off the Pats so that the Colts, after their win, will play at home in two weeks. Expect most of you feel about the same.

Movie last night from Netflix: The Kingdom. Set in Saudi Arabia, and FBI crew goes over to do a crime scene investigation and gets into all sorts of trouble. Kinda like CSI though with an international flavor and tons more violence. Good peek at the Arab world and the last scene, when a characters from each side reveal what dying heroes from each side had whispered in their ears, is priceless. Gave it a three because it reminded me too much of CSI.

Time to go get myself ready for the golf course.
