Decision ‘08

Wow! I Take One Little Post-Election Break To Go See A Movie…

A Democratic takeover of the Senate is appearing likely after an ongoing canvass of votes in Virginia produced no significant changes in the outcome of the hard-fought race led by Democratic challenger Jim Webb, sources told CNN Wednesday.

Wednesday night, with Webb leading Republican Sen. George Allen by about 7,200 votes and the canvass about half complete, The Associated Press declared Webb the winner.

I don’t think that outcome was seriously doubted by anyone. It’s the perfect capper to a perfectly awful night.

The movie? Borat…my review? A quick one:

It’s not all THAT…I mean, 94% on the TomatoMeter? Come on, folks, this isn’t Citizen Kane…but it is rude, crude, and frequently hilarious. The theater was pretty full, and I don’t think many people didn’t laugh out loud on numerous occassions. A couple of scenes crossed into that South Park gross-out area where the humor is lost in scatology (and if you have seen or do see it, you’ll know what I mean), but yeah, I laughed, too. Good, just not GREAT…
