First, a bit of a movie review. I went to see Pan's Labyrinth last Saturday. del Toro, of Hell Boy fame, wrote and directed the film.
Pan's Labyrinth, billed as a fairy tale for adults, contained some of the most realistic scenes of non-fantasy brutality I have ever witnessed. Some of the best beatings and gun shot wounds ever filmed. The fantasy sequences are very nice, too. Great flick that won tons of awards and will probably be up for best picture. If it is playing near you, check it out.

Gore Leaves Door Ajar for 2008
"Will he or won't he?
As the Democratic field for 2008 takes shape, one big remaining question is whether former vice president Al Gore -- winner of the popular vote in 2000, an almost-candidate in 2004 and now the public face of the movement to address global warming -- will be in it."

Bush lifts drilling ban in Alaska fishery:
"WASHINGTON - President Bush on Tuesday lifted the drilling ban for Alaska Bristol Bay, clearing the way for the Interior Department to open the fish-rich waters to oil and natural gas development.
Alaska officials as well as some local communities had asked for the ban to be lifted, but environmentalists and some fishermen have warned against drilling in the bay, which is the gateway for the largest wild salmon runs in the world as well as a major source for crab and cod."
