Doubt

I'm talking about the movie, Doubt, although the subject of doubt in general would be a good topic one day too, wouldn't it? Anyway, this new film with Merryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman looks like a riot of fun to me. It's not a comedy and isn't supposed to be funny, but rather a serious, suspenseful drama.

I look at the 2 minute clip here -- http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2008-10-28-doubt_N.htm -- and I say, "Wow! I know people just like that! I've had conversations just like those two minutes! And so many issues got brought up in those two minutes!"

Naturally, there's a lot more to the film than those two minutes, but I'd say those two minutes look promising enough to me.

If only I had the time to travel now...

This is too good a deal to pass up! http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/phx/578467547.html

Deepak Chopra to Sean Hannity: Why?

Deepak Chopra publicly asks Sean Hannity of Fox "News" why he so misrepresented Chopra's statements.

It really doesn't matter to me personally whether you agree with me or not. Leaving our debate aside, your habit of taking statements out of context and playing the blaming game is sad. You have a powerful platform that influences many people. Why do you use your influence to monger fear, militancy, divisiveness, and jingoism?

See the full text of Chopra's letter. After you know Chopra's credentials from the above link, you are faced with the question -- if you are a Sean Hannity fan -- How can you pay any attention to him?
