All you can jet from Sept. 8 to Oct. 8 for 599.00. Amazing. I wish I had a lot of time on my hands…and 600 dollars…and that JetBlue actually flew to Kansas City.
Travers Review of District 9
“Jackson and South African writer-director Neill Blomkamp have made District 9 a thriller-diller that trades in ideas without forgetting to go whup-ass on your nervous system. The R-rated District 9 is all kinds of awesome — and not just to geeks.”
“District 9, with a chump-change budget of $30 million, soars on the imagination of its creators. This baby has the stuff to end the movie summer on a note of dazzle and distinction.”
I’m seeing it tomorrow night. Can’t wait!

This reads like an Onion story, but it’s on a local San Antonio web site.
“I prefer the status quo, where the for-profit insurance companies suck at the teat of the federal government. Corporate welfare’s what we’ve got, and it’s a damn good system. Through a wonderful program called Medicare Advantage, the insurance companies receive hundreds of billions of dollars in fees to administer a program that the government is already running. Don’t touch that baby. You’d be messing with the handiwork of some fine lobbyists.”
