The Design and Implementation of laffer1

Caryn and I went to see Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

It was much better than the first film, but seemed a bit short.  Victor Von Doom is back in addition to the Silver Surfer.  Without giving too many details, the movie deviates from the traditional ending in the comics slightly for this arc.  It is noticeably different than the 90s Fantastic Four cartoon version.  The tone and attitude of the Silver Surfer is correct.  There are a few funny moments in the film, although audience participation proved troublesome today. Don't be that guy that has to yell out at funny stuff.  Stan Lee makes his usual cameo as himself this time. 

As far as kids go, one joke in the movie might be a little inappropriate for young children that understand how people get it on.  The rest is fairly safe. There is nothing visual about that joke. 

"The American people do not want to return to the days of tax-and-spend policies," said President Bush. 

While I don't like the idea of tax and spend policies, it sure beats the spend without paying for it policy.  See taxes pay for the government to operate.  Without taxes, there is no money to go to Iraq and we go in more debt with China who is our largest banker.  We borrow from China which is bad. 

The best solution is to stop spending, but that is unrealistic.

The evil sippy cup!  Filtered water is so dangerous. 

Caryn and I went to see Ocean's 13 today. It was somewhere between the first and second films in terms of quality and plot. The ending was a little bit lame and they didn't need to explain what was happening. Andy Garcia's character behavior wasn't the best. Still, it was an OK movie. I think I liked Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer better. The genre is quite different.

I've been working on my website assignment. Most pages are done now. I have been focusing on the Jewel pages. The academic stuff was already done. Changing the HTML is taking a long time.
