It looks like Quentin Tarantino will actually be doing "Inglorious Bastards," his WWII movie.

Tarantino Mulls "Bastards" On The Road (March 29th 2007)

"A new study finds that children who regularly attend day-care centers develop more behavioral problems in kindergarten than those that don’t. What’s a parent to do? "

Time Magazine, of all sources, has an interesting article on why the Bible should be taught in American schools.

"A more serious objection to the American and British modernization plans is that they offer no realistic security against terrorism. Suppose al Qaeda detonates a nuclear bomb in Times Square. Suppose that the weapon was stolen from an old Soviet depot, meaning no "return address" for purposes of retaliation. Suppose, also, that al Qaeda threatens to detonate five other bombs if the U.S. does not meet a list of its demands. What use would deterrence be then? Against whom would we retaliate, and where?

...

"Even nihilists have something they hold dear that can be threatened with deterrence," says Max Singer, a collaborator of the great Cold War theorist Herman Kahn. "You need to know what it is, communicate it and be serious about it."

Would it hinder Islamist terrorists if the U.S.'s declared policy in the event of a nuclear 9/11 was the immediate destruction of Mecca, Medina and the Iranian religious center of Qom? Would our deterrent be more or less effective if we deployed a range of weapons, such as the maligned "bunker buster," the use of which a potential adversary might think us capable? How would the deployment of a comprehensive anti-ballistic missile shield alter the composition of a credible deterrent? Does it make sense to adhere to the NPT regime when that regime is clearly broken?"

"Obama, for example, is more liberal on economic and foreign policy issues and slightly less liberal on social policies. Clinton and Dodd are most liberal on social policy questions, less so on economic and foreign policy votes."

"The Viscount Monckton of Brenchley presents his compliments to Vice-President Albert Gore and by these presents challenges the said former Vice-President to a head-to-head, internationally-televised debate upon the question, 'That our effect on climate is not dangerous,' to be held in the Library of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History at a date of the Vice-President's choosing.

"Forasmuch as it is His Lordship who now flings down the gauntlet to the Vice-President, it shall be the Vice-President's prerogative and right to choose his weapons by specifying the form of the Great Debate. May the Truth win! Magna est veritas, et praevalet.

God Bless America! God Save the Queen!"

"When will the day of reckoning arrive for the buyout bonanza? Carlyle's boss speculates that terrorism, rising oil prices, trade protectionism, rising labor costs in China and India, central bank tightening or even a multibillion bankruptcy could cause global liquidity to dry up. There's nothing surprising about this list. But something's missing. The debacle in the U.S. mortgage market could also end private equity's party."

"North Carolina was making its 25th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament, and had won every first round game since 1980. ... Weber State controlled the game, leading for most of the second half. North Carolina had no answer for Arceneaux, who scored from everywhere on the floor and finished with 36 points (20 in the second half)."

I found myself in the identical situation contemplated by this article. I slept pretty much all day with two ear infections - and the only thing that got me through it was Miss Congeniality 2.

I am not so apocalyptic about the situation, but this article does shed some light on the recent past and how the realists of the Reagan Era might be few and far between. The discussion of the early coronation of nominees shows that maybe the GOP just got tired of winning and became the Democrats.

For all the food snobs out there, I found out today that we don't need to call it cilantro. We can call it what it is: coriander. "Some people" call the leaves of the coriander plant cilantro, but purists know that the great taste that makes salsa better is coriander.

Pretty funny clip of HRC pandering to a Southern audience.

Just another random wikipedia search. Angels and Demons is slated for release in December 2008. Ron Howard is back to direct, and why would Tom Hanks ever say no to this?

Looks like Indiana Jones IV is going ahead. The film is rumored to begin production in June 2007. Nataline Portman is reportedly cast as Indiana Jones' daughter. Sean Connery and Harrison Ford are also back aboard.
