Day: October 17, 2004

Ariel’s watching “Princess Bride” and we just had the scene where a cackling Vizzini (Wally Shawn) declares, “You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The best known of course is, ‘Never get involved in a land war in Asia!'”

So now I wonder if, in addition to making that mistake, George W. Bush has ever gone up against a Sicilian when death was on the line.

Regular readers of this weblog will note that we haven’t done any blatant pandering to the Joss Whedon fans who come here.

Well, Joss has been a bit busy– not with Serenity or X-Men, but with something important…

High Stakes 2004: Whedon Fans for John Kerry & John Edwards

In every four-year term there is a chosen one. He alone will face the American public, the United Nations, and the forces of darkness. He is the President.

Join us and the Kerry/Edwards campaign at one of the High Stakes parties, or host one of your own. You’ll participate in a nationwide conference call to hear Joss Whedon tell us more about his latest endeavors and why he is supporting John Kerry and John Edwards. Joss has agreed to answer questions, with a goal of answering one question from each party if possible.
