Big Question: Are we looking at a Romney-Santorum ticket?
Image via Wikipedia
After Mitt‘s win last night in super Tuesday, winning five of ten states and Rick winning 3 states. Both fought over the stakes in Ohio. So the new question, the big question is whether the two will ticket-up with Romney (I mean Rmoney) on top and Santorum on the bottom of the ticket?
It could be in the works after Santorum’s stellar southern showing. Romney will need someone who can pull in the south. That’s why it’s a wonder Obama won with Mr. White Guy from the north Joe Biden. I think Obama could have a problem with the south except that he seems to have the Hispanic vote wrapped up.
Republican challenge will be the Hispanic vote in this country. There are black and white Hispanics and both lean toward Obama and the dems.

TJ Lane: White bullied teen with a gun and a grudge (3 dead)
Suspect T.J. Lane, 17, admitted firing 10 shots with a .22-caliber pistol Monday morning at Chardon High School, Geauga County prosecutor David Joyce said at a juvenile court hearing.
The hearing came hours after the death toll rose to three, and as schoolmates and townspeople grappled with the tragedy and wondered what could have set the gunman off.
Lane’s face twitched lightly while the prosecutor recounted the attack, and he sniffled and half-closed his eyes as he walked out of the room with deputies.
Mueller told the Cleveland newspaper that Lane would wait at the school to take a bus to Lake Academy. Mueller said that King _ one of those killed _ had recently started dating Lane’s ex-girlfriend.
Lane shot five and three are dead. One of the shot students was black. The hits were random but not sure yet.

[Udpated 10:43 a.m.] A student at Chardon High School, Evan Erasmus, told CNN affiliate WEWS-TV that the suspect in Monday’s shootings may have posted a threatening message Sunday night on the social networking service Twitter.
“I think he said that he was going to bring a gun to school and I think that everyone just blew it off like he was joking,” Erasmus said.

Movie Review: The Ides of March (Spoiler alert)
Image by cityNnature via Flickr
Politicians make policies and George Clooney makes movies. He has directed and starred again in his own brand of movie. It was the same ol’ same ol’. You’ve seen this movie before I promise. Ryan Gosling was great. He was pretty much the star. Clooney the Candidate Morris is the sitting governor running for president. It did not seem like a real campaign it seemed staged and campy and safe. Way too safe.
The acting was good I must admit. But the story was rehash and the scandal was not interesting.
Here goes: Morris has a presidential campaign going and they are in Ohio and are trying to win Ohio because “As Ohio goes so goes the nation.” It’s a must-win state…really? They have the same boring talking heads in the background such as Maddow and John King on TV and saying crap that did not amount to much.
Then there was the scandal. Gosling decides to screw the little blonde bee-worker or intern and while in the bed her phone rings at two in the morning. So he asks her why her phone is ringing and she gets nervous. So he calls the number back and finds that it belongs to guess who: Clooney’s candidate Morris! Wow, so shocking. I was floored…just kidding. Then later she confesses that she slept with him just one time because he closed the door behind her. The big reveal is that she is preggers. Oh no, do tell more she needs an abortion.
She claims to be Catholic but has a real Jewish name and said she cannot ask her father who is the DNC chair Jack Stern. So Gosling gives her the money. In the meantime he gets the boot from the Morris camp for meeting with the other camp and thinking of going there to work because Morris cannot win.
Big freaking deal. Gosling gets fired and the blonde, white girl who he left to have her abortion gets upset when he does not return her calls after the procedure. So, she takes the pills that they give her and she is found dead in her hotel room. Gosling gets there in time to pick up her phone and see that she is dead.
Gosling meets with Clooney and is able to get his job back due to possible blackmail.
Then Gosling goes to the funeral of the blonde white girl he slept with and dumped and then he goes to some stadium or something and puts on an earjack and sits in the dark. Then a voice asks him how he got back on top and now in charge of the Morris command where he was the second in command when he got the boot.
So, he sits looking out into the abyss and the camera and that’s it. What? Not even a WTF but a what. So I guess there could be a part two. I don’t think it will last in the theaters. I give it three stars for good acting. As soon as the word gets out this film will not beat the odds. Oh sure he had the Obama look in his poster except that “Morris” looked ridiculous. But what the hell does that mean? This guy does not resemble any type of juicy scandal we have had. The Candidate it ain’t the Politician is ain’t It’s not even the ides of March. It was way too safe for my taste. It’s not a thriller so don’t expect one.

Rob Lowe’s New Book “Stories I only Tell My Friends”

Stories I Only Tell My Friends: An Autobiography
Many of the Jewish women who asked me about the Brat Pack were hoping that Rob Lowe, now44, was Jewish. Lowe was the most physically beautiful of all the Brat Pack actors--male or female. (Demi Moore came close--but she has reportedly had cosmetic surgery.) Lowe is often a Jewish name and if he were Jewish--well, I guess he would have been the hottest male Jewish movie star since Tony Curtis.
It was my sad duty to tell my readers that Lowe isn’t Jewish. He was born and raised an Episcopalian in Ohio. However, because of the reader interest in Lowe, I always kept an eye on Lowe’s career and I’ve come to admire his ability to maintain a fairly successful acting career over two decades, in spite of a major sex scandal in 1988.
