Went to see "The Visitor" today. Good movie. If you're American, and at all undecided (hard to believe, but...) about whether to vote Republican or Democrat in November, you really ought to see it. The phrase "Step away from the window", will stick with you.

And, if you're thinking about travelling to America, do it soon. Next nutbar step the Department of Homeland Stupidity seems to have in the works is to have all visitors to the States leaving by plane or ship fingerprinted as they leave. Just fills you with a warm and fuzzy desire to visit, doesn't it? "Welcome to America, where all our guests are criminals!"
