Parting Shots
I haven't been able to post much lately. Here are a few points that I want to make:
Alger Hiss got a standing ovation after he testified before Congress. George Galloway probably won't face charges, but he shouldn't get cocky. His story has all sorts of holes.
I've been meaning to cancel my gift subscription to Newsweek. I'll be sending a postcard to their subscriptions department. Their standard is that if a story should be true they'll run it. I flipped through their latest edition. It's mostly puff pieces. I thought one section was an advertising supplement. Instead it was a collection of related stories.
The new Star Wars movie is excellent. It's by far the best of the last three. George Lucas shows a humorous touch that was absent from it's two predecessors. Especially funny is the scene where Palpitine becomes disfigured. It neatly leads into the original Star Wars movie, though I'm a bit surprised that they started the Death Star when Luke was a baby.
