How did Marion Rolland not make the countdown? The only video i can think of which would top this is a reaction video from the French women’s downhill alternate

here in Deutchland the total metal count means nothing, and I haven’t heard the end of it :)

its gold that matters…and like one of the US hockey team members said “you don’t win the silver, you lose it”

but whatever…go USA! I am pretty pleased with our alpine team performance. Bode “redemption” Miller was solid and man, watching him ski is so much fun!

Sherlock Holmes? Really? I’ll give you RDJ, but talk about a boring movie. You wanna talk about good popcorn film how about Zombieland, or Drag me to Hell or maybe a lil film called Star Trek. Something that moves, that dazzles, actually makes you smile rather then spends half the film setting you up for the sequel.

I’ve heard Sin Nombre’s great, I’m looking forward to checking it out.

I want to see Broken Embraces, but I didn’t like Volver (except for her) or Bad Education (at all) so we’ll see how your review translates into my enjoyment.

Good stuff man. Jealous I didn’t get to be there, sounds like a mixed bag. I’m looking forward to JGL in Hesher, Exit through the gift shop, Tucker & dale, plus Alba’s ass (and the movie surrounding it) and Stewart’s boobs

People stuck in boxes? People stuck on chair lifts? Is the Writers Guild still on strike?

Great reviews, I’ll be adding a few to my “must downlo… err… must pay full admissions to” list.

Jon Krakauer blamed the Bush administration and Army for the cover-up of Pat Tillman’s friendly-fire death. However, the untold story is the cover-up was a thoroughly bi-partisan affair.

In particular, the Democratic Congress and the Obama Presidency protected General Stanley McChrystal from punishment for his role in the cover-up of Pat Tillman’s friendly-fire death.

Note: email from Amir Bar-Lev says he was pretty hard on the Democratic Congress in “The Tillman Story”.

The documents at http://www.feralfirefighter.blogspot.com describe how General McChrystal has been protectd by Congressman Henry Waxman, Senator James Webb (along with Senators Carl Levin and John McCain), the New York Times Reporter Thom Shanker, the Center for a New American Security’s Andrew Exum, and President Obama.

It’s not surprising that after the initial cover-up fell apart, Army officers and the Bush administration lied to protect their careers. Reprehensible, but understandable. But the Democratic Congress, after they took control of both Houses in 2006, could have gone after those responsible. Or at least not promoted them!

Just before the 2006 mid-term elections, Kevin Tillman published his eloquent letter, “After Pat’s Birthday” (truthdig.com). Kevin hoped a Democratic Congress would bring accountability back to our country. But, just as with warrantless wiretapping and torture, those responsible for the cover-up of his brother’s friendly-fire death have never been held accountable for their actions.

Five years ago, Pat Tillman’s family were handed a tarnished Silver Star. It was a travesty of justice that General McChrystal was promoted to the Army’s highest rank, and handed his fourth star.
