and speaking of raging debates, we are having one as to whether at least one of the geico cavemen are gay or metrosexual? anyone want to share their perspective. its not considered gay to share your feelings on this subject.
"On a rather ironic note, though her primary occupation is costume and wardrobe, her feature film debut was completely naked and on a motorcycle in the cult classic, Vanishing Point"
Which by the way I watched last night and despite the surplus of bad acting (you know I'm not talking about Cleavon Little and Dean Jagger) I very much enjoyed. No, and not because of Gilda Texter's nude motorcycle role, I mean all that objectifying of women in movies, the gratuitous nudity and all, it just makes me sick. If you feel the same way don't watch the clip because there's a bit of her in it.

i still cant believe i was hanging out with richard leacock once upon a time and i had no idea who he was. just seemed like an old self possessed documentary filmmaker who happened to be dating my girlfriends cousin. he was making a film about his love of eating eggs at the time for french tv. what the fuck was i supposed to think, that he was in part responsible for some of the most reknown documenaries in history?
then again maybe i was better off not knowing. i might have professed my appreciation for scalawags.

“I happen not to like the things that everybody else loves about it,” he says. While he shot some of the footage of Hendrix setting fire to his Stratocaster, Leacock found it “disgusting,” he said. “I don’t appreciate that kind of bullshit.” And he didn’t care much for Janis Joplin, either. “She was always just full of drugs and alcohol. I remember her coming to look at the film afterwards at our place in New York. She was lying there stone drunk, sucking on a bottle of Southern Comfort.”

For no apparent reason here's a couple unrelated things I've been thinking:
WTF is Obama doing re FISA? Hello? Is it really just because he's taking a pile of money from AT&T?
One good thing for Obama that comes from having McCain as an opponent (where I otherwise see McCain as probably the toughest Republican he could be facing) is that it makes Obama's strategy of targeting all 50 states (or at least way more than most Dems have traditionally targeted) doubly powerful. McCain is an old man. He's going to be physically exhausted by being forced to travel to so many traditionally republican states. It doesn't seem implausible that he just won't be able to do it. Health may really play a roll. If he looks old and tired in the debates he is toast.
And I thought this comment from Yglesias' page was pretty astute:

One of the reasons I can see for the Obama Campaign's curious decision to target Georgia is that Georgia's Republicans are disproportionately the types, who look at McCain and say, meh. And, the kinds of things McCain would have to say to the Georgia Republicans to motivate them to vote for him are exactly the kinds of things, which if he says them too loudly, too close to November, will discourage independents in, say, Michigan or Missouri, from voting for McCain.
The Obama campaign has to find some places in the country, where McCain can be pressured to make the kinds of statements he made regularly in the primary. Georgia is one of those places.
