Boogieman, an important film

I haven't seen it yet, but it's about someone I've been obsessed with for years, the late Lee Atwater, evil Republican mastermind of numerous elections, Karl Rove's mentor (Rove is Steve Schmidt, McCain's campaign manager's mentor). Atwater was the man who changed the course of American politics for generations. And not in a good way. He died of brain cancer.

The film is "Boogie Man" and here is the website for it:

I am going to see it as soon as I can. I suggest you put it on your Netflix account, if it's not playing at a theater near you. The schedule for the film is on the website.

If you think that the next month is not going to be filled with Republican dirty tricks, you are dreaming. Start with today's article in the NY Times with the Obama "so-called connection" to William Ayers. More is coming. Trust me.

On another note, I just watched the Charlie Rose interview with Warren Buffett that aired a couple of days ago on PBS. If you have 55 minutes to spare, this is a really good discussion of what's been happening in our economy in the last three weeks:

A day at a time, a day at a time

Breathe. I missed Bush's speech last night, I never would have slept no matter what drug I took. Where are all the economists in this country? Why are we listening to Henry Paulson, who's one of the guys who got us into this mess?

Can I just say that Steve Schmidt, Karl Rove's devious protege, McCain's campaign manager, the man behind the Palin decision is a PIG. McCain's trying to hide from the debate now and put the focus on fixing the economy and we all know how knowledgeable he is about economics.

Number one on the agenda: make every CEO of every company in American who have given themselves multi millions in bonuses in the past year pay every freaking penny back to tax payers. (I'd like to go back further, but I know that will never fly.)

Anyway, will they hide from the debate? Let's see. I wonder if Bush is freaking out. What a legacy. Is there one thing his administration hasn't ruined? Please let me know if you can come up with something.
