how exciting. right now we are waiting on the last three senate races to finish up and it's looking really good for the dems. good to see nancy 'the bulldog' pelosi will become house speaker. i actually just made that nickname up for her, but i think it fits. i'm sure my buddy bracken is cringing right now at the thought of her running that side. now if only reid can kick frist out of that senate majority office. things went well for colorado candidates. we now have a dem governor, udall was re-elected as our district's congressman, and dems have the state house and senate. that idiot tancredo easily was re-elected by the same people that used to look to that meth dealin' homo lovin'/hatin' haggard as their reverend or whatever. good job colorado springs. the only good thing about you is, um, i think matthew was from there, and they have norad. that's pretty cool. other than that, your congressman is shitty. most of my issues were voted down unfortunately. the dope law wasn't even close. same for over in nevada too. people not ready for that yet? coloradans have totally taken a turn in the wrong direction and voted to add a man/woman marriage amendment in the constitution AND rejected domestic partnerships. what's up with that? i really thought that was going to pass. montana and mizzou are both going to the dems i think. so that leave va. hmm. i'd be excited even if we split 50-50. can we even do 50-50? i don't recall what up with jeffords these days. (he was the lone independent in the senate) immigration lawsuits against businesses passed which is pretty bad i think. judicial term limits looks like will fail, so that's good. and it's midnight now, so i'm off. no one voted for me by the way. a-holes. tomorrow is sucky double econ day to make up for no econ next week. and it's also ethan's sucky make up day for homework. busy busy i am.
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Making Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006): borat comes to america to understand the culture, but just pisses everyone off. his original intentions change however and he undertakes an emotional journey across the u.s. to find his love in cali. and wow. if you are any of these people, you may be offended by this movie: jewish, kyrgystani, female, gypsy, uzbekistani, homosexual, mentally retarded, chickens, and bears. and of course if you are from kazakhstan, then you will probably be offended the most. but most of the jokes that make fun of these groups are still really funny. i wonder where his village was shot at? i'm guessing it wasn't kazakhstan. borat falling in love with cj parker (pam anderson) was a nice touch. she was a good choice because i bet foreigners see her as the all american sex symbol these days. i wondered as i watched the movie, how much was staged and how much was actually real? you could usually tell the real stuff by how awkward the situation was. there were in fact, more awkward situations than i could even count. at times i just had to look away. but it's so well done and his character is so thought out. cohen should be at least nominated for a best actor oscar (although that will never happen). the fight scene between borat and his producer with the un-pronounceable name is the funniest crap ever. in this context, funniest also equals nastiest. you have to give that producer guy some credit though. he had no shame. sometimes a scene would cut when i wished it would have kept on rolling to see the outcome of borat's craziness. can't wait to see special features on the dvd. in the end, i'm glad it wasn't just a movie with extreme jokes, but actually had a plot. it has a good pace and there are lots of setup and payoffs throughout the movie. funniest movie i've seen this year and as long as you aren't easily offended, you have to see it.
almost perfect, A-
