Can't think of anyone I know,

who hasn't read " The Hunger Games", but I imagine they're out there. Gotta say the movie is true to the book and they do a great job of recreating a future world where The Capitol controls all 12 Districts, and forces them to contribute a boy and girl to fight to the death, in the ultimate reality show, for the pleasure of privileged citizens. Won't go political, but it is a compelling book, that translates well to the big screen, with a fantastic cast. The biggest (non-sequel) opening in the history of films, which says a lot. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed, other than the FOX crowd who calls it 'anti-government'. Gotta admit, if FOX hates it, I like it even better. Good flick.

Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

It’s good to know Captain Bonespurs little Excursion is going well, and we can expect gas and diesel prices to come down, soon.

  At least 11 tankers have been attacked in and around the Strait of Hormuz since last Monday, threatening a recovery in Persian Gulf oil exports as fighting spreads across the region. Four of the attacks occurred in the past two days, underscoring the risks facing ships despite supposed protection from U.S. forces,  The New York Times  reported Monday. Bottom line, it’s GREAT NEWS…if you’re Big Oil….Dotard’s pals and business partners.
