There a couple of things that have been brewin' like a hot pot of coffee on a cold sunday morning in the old noggin lately.
1. Why do I keep watching the "Bourne" movies? The first one was mediocre at best. The last installment should've gone straight to cable. Bad story, terrible dialog, no characterization, and several 15min chase scenes that are completely void of dialog. Here's the thing that really struck me about this last one though: Bourne is not a hero, he does nothing that is not self serving. He doesn't save the world from certain disaster he doesn't rescue the damsel in distress all he does is try to find out what his origins are, and since we don't know because it seems to change every movie, then what the fuck do we care?
2. This tax refund? Is no one else pissed about this? Think of the implications:
a) Is the government trying to tell me that it took 110 Billion of our dollars that it didn't really need? Really? There aren't after school programs that we can invest in? The Homeless? National Parks?
b)What are you gonna do with your $600? I'm gonna pay rent. Does that stimulate the economy? I don't think so.
c) Does nobody see that the republicans have completely manipulated us democrats? If this were not an election year, would the democrats be for this? No. But no democrat in his right mind would oppose a $600 tax refund, in an election year if we ever hope to take back the White House.
d)IS the economy that bad? Feels the same. Unemployment is at low point. Sure the DOW is having trouble, but did we think it was going to keep gaining 200 points a day for the rest of our lives?
I guess thats all.

1. He is kinda going after "the man" and we all like that. I am going to read the books to see what is going on there.
2. I too am pissed about the tax refund. Mine will likely go towards my new computer or cell phone, which is what they want, but I think that there are a lot of people that are going to use it to pay off their credit debt. He did this same thing 6 or so years ago and look where we are now! Only the Republican-run federal government looks at a deficit and decides to reduce revenue.
they should give us like at least 5 grand. that would stimulate my economy.
