Robin Hood Review

It was pretty bad. If you watched the trailer, you walked in expecting a pretty serious movie but they threw in a lot of weird attempts at humor as if they were tailoring the movie for 8-12 year olds. The casting was good but the dialogue was bad and the general plot was fairly weak and the movie was too long.

Stop Complaining About Elena Kagan
A fairly accurate representation about how I feel about all of the complaints about Elena Kagan. It's Obama's choice and he picked someone that clearly has a very impressive resume despite not having judicial experience (which, until she was picked, people were complaining was overly represented on the Court) so stop picking away at every nominee and complaining they're not perfect. Elections have consequences; learn to cope with that fact. This goes both ways; Obama opposing John Roberts was wrong too. (DailyKos)
