I just finished Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince. Good book, carries the series forward nicely, and perhaps best of all Harry not quite such a total whiny-butt. Oh yeah, in this book everybody dies! Rowling must be cribbing from Shakespeare!

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory was AMAZING! I always loved the story as a kid... and with Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka... that just makes it ten times better. He is such a good actor... and even with that fucked up hair, makeup, and costume he is GORGEOUS. I want some Willy Wonka.

the Cutting Edge (60% dark, 43% spontaneous, 22% vulgar) your humor style: CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | Darkyour humor's mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there's something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you say aren't in and of themselves confrontational. You probably have a very dry delivery, or are seriously over-the-top. Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing. PEOPLE LIKE YOU: David Letterman - John Belushi My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 90% on dark You scored higher than 25% on spontaneous You scored higher than 10% on vulgar Wow - I whole heartedly agree

Michael Evans, Defence Editor for The Times Online of London, reported July 28, 2005 that, "Iraq has become a dominant issue for Islamic extremists in Britain, MI5 has admitted." "In a fresh analysis of the threat facing Britain from international terrorist groups, the acknowledgement underlines the view of the security and intelligence services that Iraq has provided an extra motivating force for terrorists," the publication said. I wonder why it took so long to publicly acknowledge this. I also wonder whether Prime Minister Tony Blair and President George W. Bush will continue to deny the link. For more, see "MI5 analysts admit link between Iraq war and bombings."

The House of Representatives early this morning approved the Central America Free Trade Agreement by a slender 217-215 vote. (Hat tip: Blogs for Bush) The agreement is designed to eliminate trade tariffs and other trade barriers with countries in Central America. This will allow Central America to receive goods and services produced in the US at market prices and the US to receive goods and services produced in Central America at market prices. Anytime free trade is created, everyone benefits. As Deroy Murdok points out in the linked article, the benefits in this case are not just economic, but also political and security.

I was most pleased to find out today that David Tennant will be revert to his native Scottish accent in the new series of Dr Who. Now the Scottish accent is one of the sexiest accents on this planet, so colour me very happy indeed. Now I adored Christopher Ecclestone, he was perfect, he rocked. He brought the Dr back to life. But I became a fan of Mr Tennant, like many, watching Casanova. I never realised the accent he had in The Quatermass Experiment was actually his. Another reason to look forward to Christmas.. Other fangirl news - Spamalot, the musical of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, is coming to the West End in 2006. I'll start saving for my ticket now..

WTF: Set your DVR of choice now, because, and this can ’ t really be true, but Tony Danza ’ s daytime talk-show website has Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Sarah-michelle Gellar, Mischa Barton, Lindsay Lohan AND Kelly Clarkson all stopping by his set this Friday?! Seriously, where ’ s the fine print? Oh, wait. There it is. The show is a re-run … from his dreams?

I went to Abliene with my comrade Craig and hung out. I bought Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" Album and it has one of my favorite songs ever "Time". Also you should see the movie "Bloodsport" starring Jean Claude Van-damme. Why? Because Van Damme screams "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!" alot. As great as Mr. Nanny. I must go now and find the fish (see Meaning of Life) Now here's a picture of two men having their way with themselves just to see you do something:

Other (completely off topic) news just in - Billy Corgan is still a great big bloody sook. “ Why won ’ t you let me live in the now, why do you want to make me live in the past? ” he howled at the crowd who attended his Melbourne show and requested some Smashing Pumpkins songs. “ Can I live my life for today? ” But Billy, we thought you wanted your band back - and your hopes and dreams?! It ’ s all too confusing.

If you were ever in need of stronger evidence linking Donald Rumsfeld to Abu Ghraib, look no further than yesterday ’ s court testimony provided by two Army dog handlers who stand accused of prisoner abuse at the detention center. At the hearing Maj. David Dinenna, the top military official at Abu Ghraib in 2003, testified that the former commander of Guantanamo Bay Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller came to Iraq to encourage new interrogation techniques.

Did anyone see The Strange Case of Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle on BBC2 last night? Absolutely brilliant, don ’ t want to go on about it too much in case anyone hasn ’ t seen it yet for whatever reason. If you ever get it in the US it ’ s well worth a watch.

Arianna Huffington says that hallway gossip at the New York Times places Judith Miller at the center of Plamegate. Her story: after Joe Wilson's op-ed appeared on July 6, Miller went ballistic, checked out Wilson with her CIA contacts, found out about his wife, and then passed along the information to Scooter Libby in the White House.

When I saw Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, I was reasonably sure that one of the factory "spy" workers at the beginning was the same chap that played Charlie's teacher in Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. Turns out it wasn't him after all, as that actor (David Battley) passed away 2 1/2 years ago. Whomever it was looked an awful lot like him.

AP: A Democratic opponent of John Bolton asked Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Wednesday whether the nominee for U.N. ambassador had testified to a grand jury about the leak of CIA operative ’ s identity. Several Bush administration officials have been interviewed by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald in his quest to determine who leaked the covert identity of Valerie Plame to reporters and whether any laws were broken. Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee say they want to determine whether Bolton was truthful when he wrote on a questionnaire for his confirmation hearing that he has not been interviewed in any recent investigations.

Probably not. I mean, if Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston couldn't last, then who the hell can? It's looking as if two newly married couples are on the possible brink of destruction. It seems as if the odd coupling of Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney is in crisis. The couple is said to be arguing frequently.

So, we need to probe their ideology, and directly ask them whether they will vote for Judge John Roberts before confirmation hearings begin."

Lyndon Larouche, on this Wednesday afternoon, issued an international alert, covering the period of August 2005, which is the likely timeframe for Vice President Dick Cheney, with the full collusion of the circles of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, to unleash the recently exposed plans to stage a preemptive tactical nuclear strike against Iran. The danger of such a mad, Hitler-in-the-bunker action from the Cheney circles would be even further heightened, were the United States Congress to stick with its present schedule, and go into recess on July 30 until September 4. With Congress out of Washington, the Cheney-led White House would almost certainly unleash a “ Guns of August ” attack on Iran.
