good night and good luck.....

ok, so i borrowed a few things from the library yesterday....an itzak perlman recording of 5 mozart violin concertos......eine kleine nachtmusik (all movements)......the pirates of the carribean(which we inexplicably do not yet own) and good night and good luck.......this piece is meaningful to us in that last fall, after attending the funeral of my sisterinlaw in upstate new york we drove down to princeton to see our boy on our way home.....we were kinda in the neighborhood.....and george clooney was on fresh air (npr from philadelphia with terry gross) for the last hour of the trip.....the interview finished up as we were navigating toward his dorm.......we found that we have a lot in common with mr. clooney, beyond his ky roots......he is a staunch liberal....and at that time was in a war of words with bill o'reilly over his views......and clooney would not back down over his views...all this a year before the midterm elections deflated the conservative bubble a bit.......the film itself was chilling in that issues such as the right to face one's accusers and habeus corpus were front and center, just like today with gitmo......if y'all haven't taken the time to rent this film, stop by the library and borrow it...it is must-see......
