Here are some great posts for your reading pleasure. Then let's talk movies!

Thump and Whip: We've all had more than enough of Glenn Beck, but he's still a leading voice on the right, now direly predicting evil progressive conflagration all over the map.

Whammer's Blog: Breaking news! CNN is incredibly lame. And Piers Morgan just makes it all so much worse.
