This week we went to see the latest Mission Impossible movie. This was well done. Tom Cruise doesn't let you catch your breath. The pelting continues throughout. The photography and special effects are very well done and provide seamless flow through the script. All factors considered, I would give it a B+ rating.
Truthfully, we were headed to see the latest Sherlock Holmes, as Robert Downey Jr. is one of my favorites. Unfortunately, the scheduling of the shows made this one inconvenient, so we went with MI. I am not sorry, though, as I'm sure we will see this eventually.
Watching the coverage of Iowa, one can only wonder what difference it will make on who wins. You have Milquetoast Mitt and Not. The "Nots" don't have a chance as they are extremists or are struggling to cover-up rattling skeletons in their closets. The best chance that Mitt has,is that he is not-Obama.

My Statement
"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman
