Avatar Above All

The buzz from almost everyone is that Avatar is something special, a must see, a visual masterpiece that will set the bar for future films. The best film ever has been bandied about by critics. Will see it next week and let you know.

The undefeated ranks has lost one, New Orleans is no longer unbeaten. Dallas came up with an inspired game against an uninterested Saints squad at home. Brees did not play like he can and the defense looked average. Indi will be the only team that
will probably go undefeated.

What, Don Cherry being accused of encouraging head hunting in Hockey because of his Rock'em Sock'em videos???? This is the same guy that ranted at length that visors are for whooses, and in the next breath advertised ankle guards to protect your ankles from getting whacked. Right Don, losing an eye is ok, but those ankles have to be guarded. Mr. Cherry, you're an old joke and the worst thing for hockey in Canada!!!! You should go the way of the dinosaurs.

For Don Cherry

It is better to be thought a fool, Don, than to open your mouth and remove all doubts.

Climate Conference Confusion!!!

Well, what did you expect!!! Nothing of any consequence came out of the talks other than the promise to work on details at a later date. Work on details later?? Here is the problem. Rich countries have been hammered by the recession and globalization. Their economies are in a slow spiral downward with more and more manufacturing going to poorer countries who pay diddly for wages. These hurting richer countries, in particular the ruling political parties, can not move in any significant way on climate change without doing even more harm to their economy and thereby, being seen as managing the country improperly and losing the next election. Therefore, they hold back and little is done while poor countries increase manufacturing and production and pollution. We are done people!!! Our only hope is that the controversy over climate change and whether it really is a human creation or a natural phenomenon, is a phenomenon and we can keep polluting to our hearts content. But, my gut feeling is we are harming the environment, species are becoming extinct at an alarming rate and the polar ice caps are indeed disappearing. We need the world to be taken over by a benevolent alien race who will come in and fix our problems, cause we can't.

Tiget is changing his name to Cheetah, it's faster. And how appropriate that Tiger was named Player of the Year by his peers. Of course Tiger is THE Player!!! He's been playing Elin and a number of other ladies for a long time. Tiger the ladies man is now also THE player!! Looks like Elin is going for the throat!! She's hired the mother of all divorce lawyers and screw the prenup, Tiger, Elin wants half of Tiger Inc., or about 250 Million. Wow Tiger, that was some choice tail. Hope it was worth it. But what do you expect from a guy who's friends called Erkel while in university at Stanford. Thank God Tiger's dad has passed away and has not been forced to see the low his son has stooped to. Wood's senior had envisioned and prophesied that Tiger would have an amazing impact on the world as a humanitarian. But trying to make every woman happy, one at a time, was a little too much even for Tiger!

The tone at Climate Conference:

It is a stupidity second to none, to busy oneself with correcting the world.
