Sarah Gina Palin and Our National Nightmare

I love Gina Gershon...

Always have. Always will. Wish she were a bigger star.

In a mostly unrelated note, last night I watched The Invasion in my hotel room. You know, the reviled one with Nicki Kidman that we've all forgotten about already even though it's only 13 months old (isn't it funny how some movies seem instantly ancient?). The movie isn't sure of what it wants to say about society / humanity / medicine / science / politics but it babbles on relentlessly about them anyway. Still, some of the enduring Body Snatchers horror bleeds through it messy grab bag. Except for the part about fearing falling asleep. The movie keeps saying "don't go to sleep" but in real life it's the Not Waking Up part that's proven to be the real horror -- at least for America. How are the election polls still 50/50? Who can look at the last eight years of failing economy, bad health care systems, misfiring education, religious zealotry, media circus nonsense, meanspirited smug leadership and puritanical hysteria (and I haven't even mentioned the war) and think "yes, we definitely need more of this!" I mean: FUCK!
