  certain number of debates in 2007, and that Visible Vote '08 was not on that list when the agreement was made back in the Spring.Bloggernista apparently agrees with Mad Professah that allowing Mike Gravel to participate is waste of time, since he is "nutty as a fruitcake." However, Bloggernista also posts useful links to submit your question for

  I finally checked out the website for the upcoming Simpsons movie which comes out on July 27th. It's very fun. Mad Professah created his own Simpsons avatar; you can too! If you can't see me in the above picture (I'm in the lower left corner :)), here's a close up (note the color-coordinated outfit!):

  entertaining movie of the summer so far, one which can be seen over and over again without a reduction in enjoyment.Clearly, many other people agree with Mad Professah because the film opened with a weekend opening gross of over $70 million, a larger debut than any of Pixar's CGI-animated classics.GRADE:

  Zac Efron is one of the bevy of pretty male stars of Hairspray (see review by Mad Professah). Although he is wearing more clothing than Shemar Moore did when he was photographed at the beach recently, I think, Gentle Readers, you will still enjoy the view.

  You can look at the "before" and "during" pictures from last week by clicking here. As you can see, we finally have use of the kitchen again, but there's still some tasks to be done: replacement of the hideous backsplash tile (with a multicolored Walker-Zanger tile) and the painting of the back walls of the cabinets (with a blue-ish grey color).

  for a big-budget Hollywood summer film the actors are generally not above average in looks (except for Evans) although the acting was uniformly believable (even Evans).The movie looks absolutely breathtaking, with incredibly brilliant views of the sun, showing it to be a dangerous, powerful and beautiful symbol of nature. There is Boyle's

  hack Michael Bay's latest summer blockbuster several weeks ago and was extremely disappointed. Although the visual effects are flawless, the script (by Alias producer-writers Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci) is surprisingly insipid and star Shia LaBoeuf is completely uninteresting to this reviewer. All I could keep thinking as I kept looking at
