Hacking on Frivolity all day. Learning that Nader has decided to run makes me light-headed so I guess it's time for lunch. I know that a lot of people who voted for Nader in 2000, buying the line that Bush and Gore were interchangeable (do you remember that? wheeeeeeeeew), won't do so this time around. But still. Argh. Is Ross Perot still around? Can someone talk to him?

Meanwhile, I don't know anything about Kerry other than than jokes on the Daily Show. He is so not Clinton... he really does have all the charisma of a Hall of Presidents robot. I support all Uncanny Valley candidates. Barf. And I'll grimly support him in a few months, probably.

My boss says: I would vote for a random-number generator over Bush.

hey prog. what's up?

The Passion of The Christ (http://www.ThePassionOfTheChrist.com) is in theaters soon - this week on Wednesday.. what do you think about this movie? I'm going to see it for sure - the trailers (http://www.thepassion.tv) were enough to convince me. I read somewhere that it's the widest opening ever for a subtitled movie; I have a feeling subtitles won't detract from the full effect of this movie though. After looking at the trailers which have no subtitles or english at all, it was reinforced for me that lack of spoken english in this film won't hurt one bit. To sum up my impression of The Passion: it's a work of art.
Good Website (http://www.passion-movie.com)
Another fascinating aspect to this movie is all the controversy that has been generated about it.
Some people, not really representative of Jewish people, but rather self appointed Jewish spokespeople, such as Abraham Foxman from the Anti-Defamation League, seem to have been attempting to denounce this film for months as being anti-Semitic. The news reported that they even stole the script last year! But here's what some Jews say (Jews who don't make it their job to tear apart other people): by Rabbi Daniel Lapin.

Nice to see some people speaking rationally.

So what do you think of all this?
