I love the ones in St Mary Mead with Miss Marple best. I find Hercule Poirot and his tagalong, Hastings, tiresome and pompous. Give me a good old-fashioned small-town murder any day!

WASHINGTON -- Are Republican lawmakers deliberately stalling the economic recovery to hurt President Barack Obama's re-election chances? Some top Democrats say yes, pointing to GOP stances on the debt limit and other issues that they claim are causing unnecessary economic anxiety and retarding growth.
The latest Democratic complaint came after House Speaker John Boehner said Tuesday that when Congress raises the nation's borrowing cap in early 2013, he will again insist on big spending cuts to offset the increase. Boehner, R-Ohio, continues to reject higher tax rates, which Democrats demand from the wealthy.
That led Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to say Boehner is virtually assuring another debt-ceiling crisis as bad or worse than the one that shook financial markets nine months ago.
"The last thing the country needs is a rerun of last summer's debacle that nearly brought down our economy," Schumer said in a statement. In an interview, Schumer added: "I hope that the speaker is not doing this because he doesn't want to see the economy improve, because what he said will certainly rattle the markets."

"He (Romney) is saying he is a business guy, and this is his business. And when you're president as opposed to the head of a private equity firm, then your job is not simply to maximize profits, your job is to figure out how everybody in the country has a fair shot," President Obama said at a NATO news conference today.

Where is it? Nothing has been built or even started, except that most of the track between Chicago and St. Louis was upgraded...but only to a 110mph standard and WITHOUT urban connections in St. Louis, Chicago, and Springfield.
The board of the NAACP, one of the nation’s oldest and largest African American advocacy organizations, has passed a resolution supporting gay marriage in the wake of President Obama’s public endorsement of same-sex unions.
“The mission of the NAACP has always been to ensure the political, social and economic equality of all people,” board chair Roslyn M. Brock said in a statement following passage of the resolution on Saturday. “We have and will oppose efforts to codify discrimination into law.”
The chairman emeritus, Julian Bond, had already pledged his support earlier this week as part of a coalition of black leaders trying to tamp down speculation that Obama’s support of gay marriage would divide the black community.
The resolution and statement Saturday specifically noted that the group supports “civil marriage” for same sex couples, while respecting religious freedom -- something the president also mentioned when announcing his stance.
“Civil marriage is a civil right and a matter of civil law,” NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said in the statement. “The NAACP’s support for marriage equality is deeply rooted in the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and equal protection of all people.”
The group has taken public stances against discrimination based on sexual orientation in the past. The NAACP opposed Proposition 8 in California, the federal Defense of Marriage Act, and more recently, Amendment 1 in North Carolina.
No doubt they're going to make a mountain of money, but all this hype, and no doubt Zuckerberg's private expectations they'll sell billions and billions on opening week, I just hope it deflates.
FaceBook has only become weirder, scarier, riskier..and they produce absolutely nothing tangible.
and the article mentioned that Joaquin Phoenix requested that Franco not show the film anymore. What is with the Phoenix family? Are they the biggest bullshitters since the Kardashians? Is it all about money with them? What exactly are they ashamed of? Are they ashamed of River?
Quoting from the article...
"In reality, Phoenix and Reeves (who also co-starred in "I Love You to Death") were incredibly close and this is abundantly clear when watching the film. Franco's "My Own Private River" adds a brand new take (literally) on the dynamic between the two.
"...In a question-and-answer session following the film, Franco revealed that his original cut was 12 hours long. That version is now being kept from the public at the request of Joaquin Phoenix (River's Oscar-nominated brother).
For now, the film has been shelved but for a few exclusive showings. Franco has no plans to distribute the film as he does not want to compete with the original or face legal action from New Line Cinema, which distributed 'Idaho'...."
Now anyone with a thinking brain knows that River was deeply in love with Keanu...20 years later, it still has to be a secret?
My ex took me to court. We ended up on the Judge Judy show. She raked him over the coals for several minutes, then turned to me and said "is there anything you want to add?" I said "no maam." And she said "Good. Case dismissed. Goodbye."
