We haven't seen the last of Palin. Not yet anyway. She's back, and she's back with a vengeance.
Her target isn't Obama this time. It's David Letterman. That's quite a promotion, eh? Nobody'll listen to your attacks on Mr President, so attack the next best thing - a talk show host, who's paid to crack jokes (jokes that are at times, offensive, and in bad taste). Sure, she has the right to fight back when defamatory remarks are made in her direction, but I sure want to know how she concludes that a man over sixty's talking about 'statutory rape' and insulting a whole generation of young women, where talking about sex with a 14 year old girl is okay. Then she goes on to imply that young girls will all be violated should they walk an inch closer to Letterman. Well, I've nothing to complain about. Not after her really infamous comments on 'shoring up the economy' and her wonderful answer to Couric's question about what newspapers she reads.
But no matter. I'm not going to waste anymore time talking about a former Veep candidate who resorts to petty actions in order to keep her political career alive.
Am in the midst of finishing the Seventh WoT book, "A Crown of Swords". It was a challenge to get through the beginning of the book. It was pretty draggy at first, but things picked up a few chapters into the 7th Installment of the saga. Good stuff. I like it. Would like to see what the final book will be like, now that Robert Jordan has passed on. He did leave the vital information about what's supposed to happen at the end with his family, so I hope it would be as satisfying as the rest of the series has been. Off to hunt for books 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
Just watched Roman Polanski's oscar winning film 'The Pianist'. I must say that I found it excellent. Yes, Brody deserved the oscar, Polanski (regardless of his criminal record) deserved his oscar, and yes, the movie deserved the Palm D'Or. Thoman Kretschmann gave a commendable performance, and it was beautifully filmed. Quite a moving film, really. I highly recommend it.
I hope you appreciate the fact that I have not mentioned death and destruction in this post as of yet. These occurences are rare, and they take place occasionally to remind people that I am indeed human :)
Nocturne in C sharp Minor - Frederyk Chopin - Performed by Janusz Olejniczak
Quite moving, I think.
