Just blogged for the DeafRepublican2008 blog, my pros and cons on the current Republican candidates. Head over there please.
Rob’s brief no. 1: Heath Ledger dead
I’m truly shocked by the death of the actor Heath Ledger. At the age of 28. So young in his rising stardom. I was looking forward to his performance as the Joker in the second Batman movie this summer. Overdose on sleeping medication? Hmm…
Rob’s brief no. 2: Chill, man!
Rep. Jim Clyburn tells ex-President Bill Clinton to “chill” out.
Rob’s brief no. 3: Oscar nominees
Just announced today, the nominations for the Oscar. My pick for Best Picture? “There Will Be Blood”. I haven’t seen it yet, so I’m just guessing.
Rob’s brief no. 4: Tom Brady in cast!
Oh, no, Tom! You’re in cast and limping! The Giants will be “guaranteeing” a Super Bowl victory for the next two weeks of talk.
Oh, Tom, you clever devil, you!
Rob’s brief no. 5: 2007 TU24
Getting closer to Earth, seven days to go. Don’t panic yet until NASA says so.
Rob’s brief no 6: PS3 price coming down rumor?
Over at this blog reported a rumor that a $299 Playstation3 console would be announced next week? It means that Blu-Ray is winning the format war against HD-DVD? We’ll see.
