20 questions (phili daily news)
No way out
What's the plan for dealing with captured suspected terrorists? According to Rummy we're just going to let them sit and stew: Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld says most suspected terrorists at a U.S. prison camp in Cuba will probably be detained for the course of the global war on terrorism rather than face trial. That sparked criticism from lawyers who said U.S. legal tradition insists on a transparent and open judicial process.Nevermind that this so-called "global war on terrorism" has no way of ever ending, any more than the "war on drugs" or "war on poverty" does... And what's with the "trying them and letting them out" comment? Does that mean he doesn't think they'll be convicted? But we'll hold them in prison forever anyway? Perhaps he was joking?...

Say what?
How's this for a movie premise: Based on the Bram Stoker Award nominee short story by acclaimed author Joe R. Lansdale, Bubba Ho-tep tells the "true" story of what really did become of Elvis. We find the King(Bruce Campbell) as an elderly resident in an East Texas rest home, who switched identities with an Elvis impersonator years before his "death", then missed his chance to switch back. Elvis teams up with Jack(Ossie Davis), a fellow nursing home resident who thinks that he is actually President John F. Kennedy, and the two valiant old codgers sally forth to battle an evil Egyptian entity who has chosen their long-term care facility as his happy hunting grounds...I watched the trailer and thought it looks pretty good... too bad it's not scheduled to be in Boston any time soon...
