Sorry folks, no post today. I could give you a bunch of excuses (It's a short week, I've been busy, Hillary's dead in the water so my work here is done), but what it really comes down to is I'm just not feeling it.

Great Post Buddy! You are so funny and a great writer! I have a question and to the first person with the correct answer... a quarter!
Question: What is the largest land animal to walk the earth since the extinction of the dinosaurs? I would like the family, genus, and species please.
Thanks for the comment good sir. I'll definately be returning to that page now that I have physical proof that one person has read the post. I'm not quite sure why things died down...I think it got a bit too specific for casual pontificating.
Answer: Mammoth
Actual Answer: Trick question hot shot; "dinosaurs" are an evil hoax perpretrated by the Jews.

Flicks You Should See (And Maybe Haven't)
--Invisble Children: A powerful documentary about the children of Uganda who face the constant threat of being abducted and turned into child soldiers by the Lord's Resistance Army.
De Fem Benspaend (Five Obstructions): Legendary filmmaker Lars von Trier challenges legendary filmmaker Jorgen Leth to remake his seminal short film "The Perfect Man" five times, each time placing an obstacle to test Leth's limits. Fascinating film for anyone interested in the filmmaking process.
Todo Sobre Mi Madre (All About my Mother): A single mother in Madrid watches her son die on his 17th birthday, causing her to seek out the boys father (who doesn't know he has a child.) Not what you might expect.
--Mitt Liv Som Hund (My Life as a Dog): Story about a young boy coming to terms with the fact that his mom is dying. If you don't find this movie touching, you probably have no soul.
--Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Trois Couleurs:" Kieslowski uses blue, white and red to meditate on the themes of grief (and ensuing catharsis), resurrection, and life and death (respectively). The cinematography is sick and the stories are universal.
--City of God: A look at youths facing poverty, violence, and death in Rio de Janeiro. Incredible story, great narration and groundbreaking style.

Marlon Brando?
Good job getting the genus. I still need the family and species for it to be correct.
Oh, ok....
