I want to take my vote back!!

I voted for the Mondale/Ferraro ticket in 1984 (what a year that was). I would expect the standard bearers of the party to be the "party faithful." Now Geraldine says she might not vote for Obama in the fall.

I know a lot of Hillary's supporters are saying that the campaign has been too sexist. It never occurs to them that people are not rejecting Hillary because she is a woman, but for a whole laundry list of other reasons. It's on Hillary to help get the party in line, starting with Geraldine. I might just have to send my button back....if I could find it.



Meanwhile, I don't know what to say about Joe Liebermann. Has he lost his mind?

They said he was unprepared...

Iron Man

Another Marvel Comic comes to the big screen. I don't remember Ironman in comic books. My boys were into Superman and Batman. I didn't have any real expectations going in except from the trailers I had seen.

It was great fun. Robert Downey Jr. is an unexpected super-hero, making this movie kind of a Batman meets Spiderman meets the Transformers. We're not in Kansas or Metropolis anymore...try Afghanistan. There is quite a bit of violence, shooting and explosions, but it's nowhere near as intense as Transformers, and there is a the unexpected humor.

Downey was great. Terrence Howard got second billing making it a "buddy movie." I had to post the pictures of Jeff Bridges. I didn't recognize him at all with the bald head. I'm used to his more simpatico style as in K-PAX. I had to read the credits at the end to know it was him.

It was a good afternoon diversion. I give it 3 stars.

The Empire Strikes Barack ;)
