Just when you think you know what is going on, they through in an episode like this one.
Well, on the way to the freighter, Desmond starts to experience an unexpected side effect.
Desmond is back and forth in time between 1996 and 2004. Minokowski, the guy they've been talking to on the boat and Phoebe's boyfriend Rodger from Friends, is also having these side effects. Desmond starts to talk with Daniel on the satellite phone. Daniel tells him to find Daniel in 1996. He does so and discovers the Daniel in 1996 is working with time travel. Desmond discovers that he needs a constant in 1996 and 2004 that he can use to snap him out of it. Of course he tries Penny. He finds Penny's father in 1996 who has just bought at auction a portrait and book about the Black Rock, the slave ship on the island. His 1996 self finds Penny, but the communication equipment in 2004 is broken. Sayid fixes it and Desmond gets to talk with Penny for the first time in over three years. Him and Penny both tell each other they lover each other, and Desmond is pulled back into the present. Daniel opens his journal on the island and sees a page that says, "Desmond Hume is my constant."
Predictions:
Especially after the meeting with Penny I feel Desmond will get off the island.
I don't think Minokowski is actually dead.
Micheal is on that boat and opened the door.
Questions:
What the hell is going on with Faraday and time travel?
Who destroyed the communication equipment?
What is up with the guys on the freighter? Who is the Captain?
With the whole time travel thing. Does Daniel remember Desmond and does Desmond remember Daniel? Does Desmond remember leaving the army and trying to find Penny, and if he does, why didn't he see the time travel thing coming?

The Office(US) vs. The Office(UK)
So now I have watched every episode of the American and British versions of The Office. I loved both show, and for how much the are similar, they are very different. It is funny how you can have two shows that started with the same episode, have similar plots all the way through, and yet be two completely different shows.
One big difference in the shows is the level of humor. The American version has an in-your-face "Seinfeld with a touch of slapstick" humor. I literally laughed out loud at least once during every episode. There are really no favorite episodes, just favorite moments. Meredith trapped in a bag with a bat. Hilarious. Arguing about Alfredo's pizza. Hilarious.
The British version has a British comedy style where there are a couple of laugh out loud moments here or there, but even when there are none you sit back at the end of each episode and think, "That was hilarious."
The second big thing is the characters. Of course the American version has had way more episodes then the British one, but the characters are way more developed, and more cared about. In the British you have your main characters,(David, Gareth, Tim, and Dawn) but that is about it. They don't explore the other workers as nearly as they did in the first 12 episode of the American one. My favorite character is Toby. Toby is a background character who shows up every once in a while, but I feel like I know Toby, he has been explored. In the British version I'd have to say my favorite character is David, but David is the main character, and also played by one of the funniest men on the planet.
The plots are both very similar. Beside working in an office, one office has to incorporate another one, the main male character and the engaged receptionist have a thing, the main male plays pranks on his desk mate, the desk mate is a spazz who thinks he is more qualified then he actually is, and the boss is a humor loving moron who wants to be everyone's friend.
All and all I think no one series is better then the other. They both have there high points, but neither stands out ahead of the other. I don't know if a cross-over episode would be cheesy or brilliantly funny.

Hussein?
Really?
This is what it is coming down to? Making fun of a man's middle name?
This reminds me of a conversation I had with an older Republican man at a Rudy Guilliani town hall meeting. This man asked me if I supported a canidate yet. I told him that I was supporting Senator Obama. This man had to have been in his seventies, and was a WWII veteran.
He asked me, "Do you know what his middle name is?"
I replied, "Yes, but I don't know when a person's middle name has judged their charector."
He said, "Well I am just saying, why take the chance?"
I said, "Well who would consider the best President was, Ronald Reagan?"
He nodded.
"Well, what if before you voted for Reagan you found out his middle name was Adolf, and you did not vote for Ronald Reagan because of it?"
The man didn't know what to say, and changed the topic. At the end of Guilliani's speech we got up to leave and the man turned to me and said, "Son, I fought in World War II, and one of the first things I learned was to not take chances."
I have a lot of respect for this man, though I think some of his ideas are flawed. I fell that if the Terrorists were going to covertly take over the US government, the would do it a little more discretly the with Barack Obama.
My middle name is Paul. All that says about me is that my father's middle name is Paul. Paul does not reflect my charector, nor does it determine my future.
I think it is just plain stupid that people can actually use that as a reason not to vote for a man.

Democratic Debate-2/26
Last night was hopefully the last of 20 democratic debates, and of course it was between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Though I am biased toward Obama, I try and watch as if I am not.
Going into this debate, Barack is slowly catching up in Ohio, and now winning in Texas. Hillary needs to win by 20 percent in both states to be able to get the nomination. Hillary Clinton needed to WOW the audience last night and really prove that she would be a better canidate then Barack for the presidency, and all Barack really needed to do was just hang on. Well Hillary did not do any wow-ing.
When Hillary really started to irretate me was when Tim Russert was asking her about the war. I love Tim Russert. He asked both canidates about there willingness to pull the troops out of Iraq, but leave some for some protection. They both said they wanted to do that. He then asked what they would do if Iraq said, "Well, if you are not going to leave them all we want you out completely." would they do it. Both of them said probley yeah. Then he asked Hillary about what if then the bad guys in Iraq came back, would you send troops back to help out. Instead of saying yes or no, she argued with Russert about the fact that the question was hypothetical. But isn't that what these debates are for: hypothetical acts of the future. The fact that we could have universal healthcare is hypothetical. You can have all the plans in the world, and they have since the 40's, but there is a chance it might not get of the ground. If she is not ready now to make a decision, is she going to be ready when the time comes? Will she really ready to answer the 3 AM phone call?
Now Hillary camparing Barack to George W. is the stupidist thing. Thats how far she has sunk. She says negative things about him all the time, but when he puts out a flyer with citings of real events, she yells "Shame on you!" Give me a break.
Over all I do feel Barack did better in the debate, solelly because he didn't really make any flip-ups. He said he ideas and defended them. Hillary just couldn't make any ground.

Dodd endorsing Obama
Chris Dodd is a Democratic Senator from Connecticut who was running for President this year. He did not do the best in the Iowa Casucuses and dropped out that night.
I've met Chris Dodd 3 times, and each time I met him I was more intrigued by him. He was endorsed by the Firefightes Union and had a loyal following with his Dodd Squad. But what some people don't know is that he dated Carrie Fisher for a while, and even had a Star Wars charector (Lott Dodd) named after him.
Well this morning Sen. Dodd endorsed Senator Obama. This was not much of a suprise to me since I know that Dodd and Ted Kennedy are pretty good friends, and the Dodd and Obama ideas were fairly similar. Dodd is also friends with Sen. Joe Biden, who also ran for President, so hopefully he might endorse soon too.

Come on Hillary
When I met Hillary Clinton back in November she was a shue-in to win the Iowa caucuses and the next President of the United States.
Now it is February, and in just four months things have drastically changed. The historic campaign that Hillary Clinton was running has now become a mess and a joke.
Obama is beating me in Iowa polls-Obama did drugs
Obama beat me in Iowa-I'm crying about our country
I didn't follow the rules like Obama and Edwards did- I want those delagates
Obama is ahead of me in South Carolina polls-In come Bill, this is a fairy tail
Obama ahead in Wisconsin polls- Obama doesn't do debates
Obama wins ten in a row- Obama plagurizes his speeches
Obama ahead or her in Texas polls- Release the photo of Barack in a turbin
One of the big differences I 've seen in Barack and Hillary these past weeks is in how they treat the states that have already had races.
When Obama lost in New Hampshire and Nevada, he thanked the states and then continued to mention the people that he met and stories that he heard in his speeches.
When Hillary lost in Iowa she told New Hampshire that Iowans don't know what they are doing and that they helped her find her voice after 5 days. She spent 10 months in Iowa, but those 5 days in New Hampshire gave her her new lease on life. She tries to spin her loses by saying she didn't plan on winning those states, or they won't win those states in November anyway. Her whole campaign reminds me of a bad elementry school student council election. "Billy is a doo-doo head. The people that like Billy don't know what they are doing anyway."
Come on Hillary. In order to win the nomination she needs to win at least by 20 percent in Texas and Ohio, and all the rest of the states by large margins. McCain doesn't even have to do Huckabee attacks anymore and has already started to attack Obama. Edwards knew when it was his time to drop out, and even Romney knew when to say when. The best thing for the Democratic party would be for her to drop out before the 4th and endorse Barack, instead of pointing out his faults. All she is doing is preping the McCain campaign with material. But she is Hillary Clinton and she will not do that. Her own staff are looking for new jobs because they can feel the end is near. Unless it comes out tomarrow that Barack Obama is in fact the AntiChrist and he drinks the blood of babies and likes to kill puppies with a hammer for fun, it does not look good for her.

2008 Academy Awards
Well the Academy Awards just got over, and from my predictions I only got two wrong. That ain't bad. Tilda Swinton ended up with Best Supporting Actress, and Marion Cotilliard pulled through Best Actress. I really enjoyed all of the montages leading up to each award. Being the 80th ceremoy, each main award had a lead up montage of all the previous winners. It is always cool to see Cuba Gooding's freakout, and Adrien Brody's Halle Berry makeout session, Jack Palance's pushups, and Billy Crystal in the Hannibal outfit.
John Stewert wasn't the best host last time, and he wasn't the best this time. He was better then Ellen, but I wish they would bring back Chris Rock, or have Conan do it. He did have good moments with the "Binocuillars and Periscopes" Montage, and the "Waking up from a nightmare" montage, which had Pee Wee from Big Adventure in it.
All in all it was a good award show. All the Actor wins were relative unknowns beside Daniel Day. My favorite part might haave been Steve Carrell swearing under his breath and having it not be censored.

Ralph Nader Again
I don't know if Ralph Nader has noticed, but the 2008 Presidential Race has been paid more attention then any other is recent history. For the first time, there is a woman and a black man who have a good chance of the nomination, and that race is amazingly close. The Republican side had five qualified individuals who were neck and neck for a while. The issues seem more important, and people are more involved. Every Primary and Caucus has had record-breaking attendence.
And of course, since people didn't think he was the answer in 2000 and 2004, he must be the best canidate now. Because those Democrats out in the streets fighting each other about if Barack or Hillary will be a better canidate were beging for him to join in.
It is true that third party canidates in America don't get a fair shake. But Ralph Nader is not George Wallace and Ross Perot. He doesn't have a chance of winning at all.
It is actually Raplh Naders fault that George Bush is President. Bush only beat Al Gore in Florida by around 550 votes. Over 97,000, which most of those voters said they would have voted Gore. That means if Ralph Nader would have not run in 2000, Al Gore probley would have won, and we might not have not have this awesome presidential race.
Now, in November when voters are trying to decide between McCain and hopeully Obama, Nader's name will be there too.
Lets hope this doesn't become a 2000 replay.

There Will Be Blood
Tonight we went and saw There Will Be Blood.
Daniel Day Lewis is a oil driller who has aquired alot of good land. He does this with the help of his young son, who he adopted after finding in a basket. There is a local preacher boy played by the brother from Little Miss Sunshine. He causes some trouble for Lewis as his local church is recruiting the drillers. His half brother comes to meet him played by Benny from the Mummy. Lewis tries to strike deals with local land owners and oil companies, and he is trying to build a pipeline.
The movie was really good and I liked it, but I wouldn't buy it on DVD. IMDB has it as 23 in the top 250, and that really isn't deserved. Though it was a good movie, it wasn't 23 good. Daniel Day does deserve the best Actor Oscar. His performance was incredible, and even Clooney has said he hopes Lewis gets it. I am not sure about Best Picture though. I feel this is the Coen's year.

LOST-3/21 Eggtown
Well this was a Kate-centric episode that expanded more on what happens to the fugutive Kate when she leaves the island.
Kate is living with Claire and Aaron. Kate is scared to pick Aaron up, Kate tricks Hurley into revealing the location of Miles, Miles wants to talk with Ben, Sawyer and Locke are too late to stop Kate, Miles wants 3.2 million dollars from Ben. Kate gets banished.
Jack cannot get ahold of the freighter, Charlotte uses the emergency number and it works, the helicopter has not yet made it to the freighter after a day. Oh, and this should be Christmas day if the show has a proper timeline.
Flashforward-Kate is under trial for the murder of her stepfather. Jack is called as a charector witness, Kate reveals she has a son, Kate sickly-mother talks to her, the trial comes to agreement, Jack basically tells Kate he loves her in a parking garage, Kate goes home to reveal the man that was waiting for her at the end of the season finale: Aaron.
Questions:
Why does Miles only want 3.2million from Ben?
Why does Jack say eight people survive the crash, yet there is the Oceanic 6?
Why is Kate raising Aaron?
Why doesn't Jack want to see Aaron?
Theories:
The Oceanic 6: Jack
Kate
Hurley
Sayid
Sun
Jin
Juliet, Desmond, and Aaron get off the island, but were never on Oceanic 815, so are not considered memebers of the six.
By this time Jack knows that Aaron is his nephew. Maybe Claire dies or something and it is hard for Jack.

The Riches
I've been watching this show called The Riches.
It stars Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver as a couple of travelers (Gypsy types) who run into a bad situation resulting in the death of a rich couple. The couple just happened to have just bought a house over the internet, and are very rich. Izzard and his family: Driver, a daughter, a son, and a younger son who cross-dresses, are master cons and take on the lives of the dead couple. Izzard fakes being a lawyer, and Driver is dealing with a drug problem. They are in constant fear of being caught, and their travelor families discovering where they are.
The plot is very interesting and differnt. Izzard is a better actor then I thought, and Driver is, um, well, interesting.

The Running Man
I just recently finished The Running Man by Richard Bachman(Stephen King).
It was really good. It was about a man(Ben Richards) who has a sick child and does not have enough money for treatment. Set in the future, Richards tries out for a reality show, but in the future, reality shows are deadly. There is Treadmill for Dollars where men with heart conditions run on a treadmill and answer trivia questions. Richards is chosen for the most popular show, The Running Man. He will be released into the world and will be hunted by a group of hunters, and anyone else who sees him.
After reading it, I don't understand how people didn't relize Richard Bachman was Stephen King. Beside references to Derry, Maine, and Boston, their writing styles are exactly the same.
All and all, The Running Man was a very gripping, easy read that I would recommend to anyone.

Who am I?
My name is Andy Green, I am a student at the University of Northern Iowa.
When my grandfather passed away in 2004, I received a Mr. Potato Head that had been sitting on his shelf. Instead of just letting it sit on my shelf, I started taking him with me when I traveled and take pictures of him in front of different famous locations.
In February of 2007, Barack Obama came to Waterloo to announce his canidacy for President of the United States. I went to the event with Mr. Potato Head and fought through a crowd to get a picture of Senator Obama with my potato. Sen. Obama was very kind and took the picture. That night I thought to myself, all these canidates will be in Iowa and in my area, I want to get them all. And that is exactly what I did. Every canidate posed with Mr. Potato Head, even Hillary Clinton. Well, every one except Joe Biden, who; "Does not take pictures with funny hats and funny toys." I even got Bill Clinton to pose with it.
I am now in the process of getting pictures of him in front of all 51 Capitol Buildings, every Major League Baseball park, the Presidential Gravesites, and the 1000 places to see before you die. Plus anything else I want.
When my grandfather passed away in 2004, I received a Mr. Potato Head that had been sitting on his shelf. Instead of just letting it sit on my shelf, I started taking him with me when I traveled and take pictures of him in front of different famous locations.
In February of 2007, Barack Obama came to Waterloo to announce his canidacy for President of the United States. I went to the event with Mr. Potato Head and fought through a crowd to get a picture of Senator Obama with my potato. Sen. Obama was very kind and took the picture. That night I thought to myself, all these canidates will be in Iowa and in my area, I want to get them all. And that is exactly what I did. Every canidate posed with Mr. Potato Head, even Hillary Clinton. Well, every one except Joe Biden, who; "Does not take pictures with funny hats and funny toys." I even got Bill Clinton to pose with it.
