Today started off normally enough. My brother and I took in the first Sunday match of the English Premier League on Fox Soccer Channel. Of course, this required the big breakfast consisting of the Jimmy Dean Skillet. That didn't require much eating the rest of the day as Chelsea won 3-nil over Manchester City. Anytime you can make fun of a guy named Dickov, it's all good. He's a man of smaller stature for City who somehow got a yellow card on a corner, as everyone was jostling for position. Quite the hoot. Chelsea looked in good form, dominating the match, even with Jose Morinho's short hair.

But then I got the call from Best Friend at halftime to see "Snakes on a Plane". Several of us dipped into our stoner pockets and got the money to go. It is one of the best B-movies out there. You need to go with your favorite movie-loving friends to view this one. No one cares about any comments you make, because everyone is doing the same. If all movies were like this, attendance would be through the roof. Don't get hung up on plot points or anything else and roll with the stupidity that is this flick. You can also apply the signature line, "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfuckin' SNAKES on this motherfuckin' PLANE!" to vitually any real-life situation. It's a great time with friends.

Look for the articles that bash the box office on this one. Phrases like "internet hype" and "disappointing results" will be the headlines this week. Frankly, I don't care, it was fun.

New Hampshire isn't exactly thrilled with the Democrats messing around with the primary season. They will do just about anything to remain first.

Folks aren't too sure the government learned anything from Katrina. And if you think you can hide in Nawlins, think again.

Here's an interesting look at the top 10 most beautiful cellphones. And, yes, the Chocolate weighs in at Number 2. Personally, the O2 Ice looks good to me.
