Ummm...

Sorry folks, I've got nothing for ya today. I'm up to my neck in grad school research, and am working my ass off in an effort to get my writing to not suck so I can apply to schools and not get laughed at by the admissions committees.

It's ok that you didn't post today. After these last couple of weeks i can tell that your writing could use some help.

Also, let me know if you want to play some tennis soon!

The first is written by a Ph.D. Professor of Economics at the University of Georgia who tries to explain how tax cuts work:

The second is written by the National Center for Policy Analysis, a nonprofit research institute this January. The article is about the Bush "tax cuts" and what Bush really did to taxes:

The third talks a little about the bad economy and what role Obama may play if elected. It seems like a very republican article, but then I saw that it was written by a former political adviser to Bill Clinton when he was president.

Anyway, I don't mean this as an offensive gesture. I just wanted to add some more perspective to the zizzle zotians who seem to lean democratic or liberal.; August 6, 2008 at 9:30 AM

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.
