If I may take a moment to be a shameless Eagle homer...

Invincible looks like a great summer movie. It's the Vince Papale story brought to the big screen. For those of you who are unaware, Vince Papale was a South Philly bartender who made the Eagles as a 30 year old rookie out of an open tryout before the '76 season. He is inspiration to all of us who bleed green and white, and this looks like an excellent portrayal of his story. Check out the trailer!

W. does his best Dr. Evil impression...

The New York Times is reporting that the Bush administration is pushing for the development of a space based laser weapon. "Using this laser... we can hold the world hostage for a hefty ransom." Of course forgetting for a moment that space based weaponry is useless in the battle against terrorists with dirty bombs, but otherwise it's a great idea. No, there truly is nothing better that the taxpayers' money could be spent on. Maybe we can get a mini W. cloned next.

The Sopranos and method acting...

Two characters from the HBO series the Sopranos were arrested earlier this week. John Ventimiglia, better known as restaurantaur Artie Bucco was arrested for DWI, and cocaine possession. I guess this is how Artie is researching his increasingly erratic behavior on the show.

Meanwhile Tony's new bodyguard, Muscles Marinara or actor Louis Gross was arrested for criminal mischief, after breaking down the door to his ex-girlfriends place and taking some items from the apartment. Remember Louis, count 10 before you do anything rash.

Given other recent Sopranos arrests for Robert Iler, Tony Sirico, and Vincent Pastore it seems the cast is getting a little too into character.

Stephen Colbert kills at the WH correspondents dinner...

Kills in the comedy sense that is. Hysterical stuff, especially since it made everyone so uncomfortable. I give you the linkage, cause I know you haven't seen it. Especially since I'm aware most people aren't watching CSPAN on a Saturday night. Watch as Stephen filets the Washington press corps for not doing it's job. See them laugh nervously half expecting the Secret Service to carry him off to Gitmo before the end of his speech. Wonder why it took somebody so long to state the obvious.
