Barack Obama finally wrapped up (I think) the Democratic nomination last night. Why all the talk of Hillary Clinton as Vice President? I've heard commentary on her "demands", ranging from paying off campaign debt, becoming VP, or even getting a seat on the Supreme Court.

Any demands on issues are probably moot, because on most things, they are close ideologically. But the sense that she is "owed" something by the Obama campaign honks me off. I think she'll get a well-deserved timeslot at the convention, help with debt and that's really about it. The focus needs to turn to McCain, who has stumbled along these past few months, with hardly a rebuke of any sort from the D's.

Time to get busy on November.

Speaking of November, this guy hates Joe Lieberman.

The 100 Greatest Movie Posters. Lots of good ones here. I've always liked "Straw Dogs". Look at the juxtaposition of Nicholson in "The Last Detail" and "About Schmidt". Check out Deneuve on that "Belle De Jour" poster. Hot!

I watched a few "family Guy" episodes on TBS this week. I understand advertising other shows with graphics, some with motion, during the broadcast. But these Bill Engvall ads cross the line. Twenty minutes into each "Family Guy", he strolls on from the left with a remote and pauses the program, so you can hear him talk. Then a commercial ensues shortly thereafter. Extremely annoying.

Vanity Fair has another interesting article. No, not about Gina Gershon, but how the web was won.

They drew posts for the Belmont. Big Brown drew post position 1. Since there has been no Triple Crowns in the last 30 years (and I thought that chatter between Citation and Secretariat was getting old), the talk turns to ganging up on Big Brown.
