| The WORD of the Week |
Matthew 3:7-10
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.
And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

I saw that about Atlas Shrugged a while ago...I've heard rumor of Pitt being tagged for Galt. We'll see. I don't know how I feel about that book being turned into a movie. It would piss some people off, if they manage to transfer the philosophy of the book to the movie. Also, not sure how they'll not make Dagny a slut...she seemed to sleep about in the book enough to make things sketchy if they stay true to it in the movie.

Jolie and Pitt as Dagny and Galt would be so HOT! Oh man! But let's be real, that movie's gonna suck no matter who's involved. The books too big and too deep on too many levels, I think. It'll end up coming across anti-capitalist as opposed to pro-objectivist. I would love to see who's gonna be Francsco d'Anconia, totally the best character in the book, regardless of how 2 dimensional he is. Which is another problem - all the characters are two dimensional and none of them really change or "go anywhere" in an emotional/spiritual/whatever sense.
BUT! Angelina and Pitt going at it "Eyes Wide Shut" style is wicked hot.

Do not dismiss the looming threat of Liberalism so quickly. The reason you are so frustrated with your current job is that your parents told you that you were special. Now you cannot "settle."

| Lyrics of the Week |
ON THE NICKEL
by Tom Waits
("I'd like to do a new song here. This is eh, it's about downtown Los Angeles on 5th Street. And eh all the winos affectionately refer to it as The Nickel. So this is kind of a hobo's lullaby.")
sticks and stones will break my bones,
but i always will be true, and when
your mama is dead and gone,
i'll sing this lullabye just for you,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never comb their hair,
well they're lined up all around the block,
on the nickel over there.
so you better bring a bucket,
there is a hole in the pail,
and if you don't get my letter,
then you'll know that i'm in jail,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never say their prayers,
well they're sleepin' like a baby,
on the nickel over there.
and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star,
well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
just like punchlines between the cars,
and i know a place where a royal flush,
can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson,
is on the nickel over there.
so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain,
and you're always late for supper,
and man you let me down again,
i thought i heard a mockingbird, roosevelt knows where,
you can skip the light, with grady tuck,
on the nickel over there.
so what becomes of all the little boys,
who run away from home,
well the world just keeps gettin' bigger,
once you get out on your own,
so here's to all the little boys,
the sandman takes you where,
you'll be sleepin' with a pillowman,
on the nickel over there.
so let's climb up through that button hole,
and we'll fall right up the stairs,
and i'll show you where the short dogs grow,
on the nickel over there.
