Interesting. Wesley Clark in the race for the presidential democratic nomination. I loved watching him during the CNN coverage of the war on Iraq.

In fact, I remember watching him and Aaron Brown when CNN first ran live coverage of the war. The both of them couldn't believe it, and sat there with their mouths hanging open in disbelief that they were watching the war in Iraq happen in real time.

I'm not sure Clark is qualifed for the presidency, as far as domestic policies are concerned but he'd be good for these war times.

I sound like the James Caan character in "The Godfather" movies. "I need a war time conciglieri!"

I watched the movie "Falling in Love" tonight, starring Robert DeNiro and Meryl Streep. WOW! Talk about watching to acting pros at work. It's an old movie from the 70's or 80's with totally cheesy bad movie music, but their acting was just so incredible.

They played ordinary people having awkward ordinary conversation. You don't get the feeling they're saying lines or they're even in a movie, but that you're a fly on the wall watching some very human drama taking place.

I was watching some bad TV movie a few months ago about two people falling in love, and the acting was so bad! It was such a pleasure to see Streep and DeNiro show how acting is really done, and done brilliantly.

Now granted the TV movie had a really bad script, and this movie's script was much better, but so what. A really good actor can deliver a great performance from a bad script.

What was so amazing was their delivery of the lines. It was so natural and unforced, like they were real people falling in love, and not bad actors looking like they were trying to fall in love. They made it look so easy, whereas the TV actors made acting look so difficult because they were doing it so badly.

This was a nice deal: Life
