movie trailers

I am convinced that Judas Priest made their Painkiller album with the express purpose of being used in movie montages.







Update: Another addition to the lineup, this one for I am Legend



And a shoot-em-up song with trailer too



Another Update:
This one is begging for a vampire movie montage:



And this one would go good with some exorcist footage:

There's been controversy lately concerning earmarks in appropriation and budget bills. They received a lot of attention during the 08 campaign, and now the perennial earmark crusader, John McCain, is still going as strong as ever. He has recently taken up to twittering on the subject, and for some reason reading about John McCain 'tweeting' makes me nauseous. Whoever the hell named that website allowing that verb to come into being should be excommunicated.

In McCain's list of the 'porkiest' projects, and just about the majority of the anti-earmark rhetoric there is no indication they actually gave more than a few seconds thought to which budget item they would choose for their scorn. Just pick some that sound funny and make a mockery of them.

The list starts with money for a 'honeybee farm'. Boy is that silly...honeybees. What possible legitimate purpose could that serve? Pure pork. Who cares about pollination? Try again if there is a shortage of bees because some are dying off. You also have, at #6 of ten, the now infamous 'Mormon Cricket" earmark. No better example of pork than controlling a pest that causes large scale agricultural damage. What a waste of money.

Everyone seems to agree that the federal budget is a bit bloated. Yet the only thing the critics can focus on is earmarks. As John Stewart pointed out, make up less than 2% of the budget. The country has blown untold sums in the last decade on foolish wars, fraudulent defense contractors, tax cuts for the wealthy, bailing out failed investment banks, impractical unfeasible non-functional missile defense systems, unnecessary defense projects, and god knows what else. The valiant congressional crusaders still , somehow, can only come up with a war against earmarks. Political theatre at its finest.

Only Tom Daschle will be missed more
