You Can’t Take The Sky From Me
Warning: Spoilers Ahead. Last night, Mister Priapus and I went to see a midnight showing of Serenity. For those who may not know, Serenity is a feature film based off the television series Firefly.

The Vast Vortex – Expanded
Yesterday, I wrote about the Vast Vortex of Suckitude that has engulfed Hollywood. It was an oversight on my part not to have included the music industry. That oversight is now being corrected. Last night, Mister Priapus and I, along with some other friends, went to a midnight viewing of Joss Whedon’s Serenity. The movie [...]

The Vast Vortex of Suckitude
Over at GayPatriot there’s a discussion going on about what Hollywood can do to stop its free-fall into irrelevancy. Here’s my idea: How about Hollywood making movies that aren’t complete crap. If you look at the movies that have come out this summer, they’re comprised almost solely of remakes, sequels, 2-hour long SNL skits, or [...]
Spineless Republicans
If I were a Republican, I’d be pissed that Senate Republicans are not holding Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco’s feet to the fire. This incompetent boob’s inaction, petty political turf games, and refusal to allow relief aid into the city of New Orleans cost many people their lives. Blanco was asked to answer charges made by [...]

Typhoon could threaten Okinawa Longwang expected to pass 45 miles south of Kadena on Saturday CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa — Kadena Air Base weather officials [...]

Aftermath
We’re still here. The worst of the storm has passed far to the east of us. We got a little wind and rain, but not much else.
Rita or Bust
We’re coming up on midnight, and conditions are still relatively mild here in Houston. It appears that Rita will be making landfall near Cameron, La., sparing Houston and Galveston the worst of the storm. I’ll post more info as the situation continues to develop.
Impact
The leading edge of the storm has hit the area, but it isn’t anywhere as severe as originally speculated. As the storm moves further to the east, the risk of severe damage in Houston lessens. Right now, Rita is headed for the Sabine Pass/Cameron, La. region. Lake Charles is already reporting isolated incidents of flooding. [...]
