Is anyone excited by the idea of a new Indiana Jones movie? Making this movie is a good idea like hiring a Hitler impersonator to tell Jewish jokes at Temple is a good idea. I could be wrong and this movie could kick ass...Spielberg is directing and said he will not use CGI (1 in the plus column) but George Lucas had final approval of the script and we all saw those unfortunate prequels(10 in the negative column). Let's fast forward a bit to June 2008, I'm walking out of the theater after seen Indiana Jones 4; below is pretty even money of what my first thoughts will be...

"Wow, the Phantom Menace really wasn't that bad after all". 6 to1 odds this comment will follow; "Hollywood Homicide really wasn't that bad of a movie either". Cate Blanchett is supposedly going star as well. God speed Cate, God speed.

As I look at my calendar and see we are still a year and half away from electing our next President...this is what I have to choose from? Sure Al "the Earth has a fever" Gore, noted science guy, might jump in and he's got the heat after winning the documentary Oscar for his fictional slide show movie, but this is probably it. I never thought I'd be the kid trying to fit the square peg in the round hole. I remember going to a strip club once and during this field trip, I decided to get a lap dance. I had my sights set on one girl, who I probably could've approached and asked that she give me a lap dance, but I'm a firm believer in singing for your supper. So I patiently waited until she made her hourly stroll through the club to "sing for her supper". But she never came my way. Twenty other less then stellar candidates did, and I had to refuse them. Now I was tagged, as "dead weight". In a last ditch effort to show I had a few bucks in my pocket to spend and was willing to spend it on my top choice, picked a "less then stellar candidate". But it was all for naught. The top candidate never noticed. I felt my time and money were wasted. Election 2008...good luck people.

Recent music that has been purchased (or downloaded) by me and their rating on a scale of 1-5

Jarvis Cocker-Jarvis

5 stars-Crazy good. Somewhere right now, Morrissey is cursing the name Jarvis Cocker. I know Morrissey; it must suck to realize you're not that good.

Modest Mouse-We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank.

4-stars-Like Steve Nash, they keep getting better with age.

Decemberists-Crane Wife

2 stars-I only bought this because everyone and their grandma were raving about how rad this album was. I don't get it, and I don't get how people can be into them. Boring.

Kaiser Chiefs-Yours Truly, Angry Mob

4 stars-Sure, the lead singer busts out a tambourine, and he can't pull it off like Liam Gallagher can, but that's okay, this album is pretty solid.

Wu-Tang Clan-Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers)

5 stars- I bought this back in the day on tape, because my first car only had a tape player. I wore out the tape and inexcusably never bought this on CD until now. I'd like to welcome the Wu back into my life, an old friend indeed.

The Killers-Sam's Town

3 stars-I hate to admit this, but these guys can bust out a good pop song. But I can bet even money in five years this will either be used as a coaster or I'll be listening to it with the sound turned way down and the door locked so no one catches me.

Elvis Perkins-Ash Wednesday

3 stars-Not bad, but not my cup of tea. I'm giving this to a friend who's really into Jack Johnson.

A note to the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team; when at halftime you're 14/26 on lay-ups and dunks, you might want to think about shooting jumpers and opening up the floor, instead of continually trying to go inside the paint and getting a lay-up, which you either miss or don't get the opportunity to miss because UCLA is waiting to swipe the ball away from you. Nice game guys. Way to play it like an elementary school team.

Note to UCLA....you're not that good.

The Smashing Pumpkins are back together and are going to tour...

Dear Billy Corgan,

So let me get this straight, it's just you and the drummer?

Shouldn't this be called a Billy Corgan solo tour?

You're an idiot.

Sincerely,

Paul Hughes

Anna Nicole Smith's diaries sold for half a million dollars to some German businessman...

Dear German Businessman,

RE: Anna Nicole Smith Diaries

I assume that David Hasselhoff's diaries were already sold to someone else?

There is a reason why you lost the war (see above purchase)

Thank You,
