Paul Krugman is a smart, smart dude. All this hyper-partisan crazyness is giving me a headache.

Demetri Martin creates a 224 word long Palindrome Poem. That’s right, 224 words that are spelled the same way forward and backward. Behold: “Dammit I’m Mad”Dammit I’m mad.Evil is a deed as I live.God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?Man, it is hot. I’m in it. I tell.I am not a devil. I level “Mad Dog”.Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,In my halo of a mired rum tin.I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.Is evil in a clam? In a trap?No. It is open. On it I was stuck.Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.Be still if I fill its ebb.Ew, a spider… eh?We sleep. Oh no!Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.Both, one… my names are in it.Murder? I’m a fool.A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,A Goddam level I lived at.On mail let it in. I’m it.Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!A loss it is alas (sip). I’d assign it a name.Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:“Sir, I deliver. I’m a dog”Evil is a deed as I live.Dammit I’m mad.

BURN AFTER READING

This is one of two new projects the Cohen Brothers are set to release. It’s about two gym employees who find a disk full of CIA info. 

The cast looks pretty solid, with heartthrobs Brad Pitt and George Clooney bringing the mainstream with them to the theatres. Frances McDormand makes a comeback as well, which is nice, and John Malkovitch plays a role, which is awesome.

A few notes…. This is the first Coen bros movie not photographed by Roger Deakins since Barton Fink. Not sure what kind of impact it will have on the look of the film. From the trailer, it seems to have lost some of that signature Coen bros beauty. 

So… By the looks of the trailer, this looks like a return to the wackier side of the Coen bros. Whispers of comparison to The Big Lebowski are being tossed around, but time will tell on that one.

 Ciao!

The USA Rugby club championships are being held today in Glendale CO. Watch the Video above to watch the Div 3, 2, 1, and Super League Finals! Click HERE to watch My club, NYAC is playing in the Super League Final. This is the highest achievement in USA Rugby. We play Belmont Shore Rugby Club from Long Beach CA. Kickoff is 8pm Eastern, 7 Central.  NYAC v Belmont is an interesting match-up. Belmont is the only team to beat the New Yorkers this season, doing so on the AC’s home pitch. However, during the season, Belmont lost matches to both San Francisco and Denver… both of whom NYAC has defeated.  Many of the USA’s international players will be on display in this contest including NYAC #9 Mike Petri, and Belmont’s mountain of a #8 Henry Bloomfield. Catch all the action!
