Get Up, Stand Up
The massive demonstrations that occurred in cities around the world this weekend were remarkable. I’m nearly thirty and I don’t remember anything on this scale before in terms of organized political protest. Most of the networks gave it decent coverage with the exception of the tools over at Fox. I get a kick of how their motto, “Fair and Balanced,” really is just a code phrase for “Whatever the Administration Tells Us to Report.” And I’m getting tired of attempts to portray these demonstrators as “serial protesters.” I’m willing to bet many of the protesters voted for Bush in 2000.
I saw Daredevil with my friend Tim yesterday. It was passable. Ben Affleck just doesn’t have the chops to do dark and brooding. But the soundtrack wasn’t bad. And Jennifer Garner looks stunning in leather.
