Here's some more fine words from Art:

Dear Mr D – Yes, I just read about the latest multi million dollar severance for incompetence above and beyond the cause. Sad indeed but it has become such the norm that it hardly pisses me off anymore. Here is one for you – Do you think the grand master white collar criminal Kenneth Lay actually died of a heart attack? Seems mighty convenient to die right before going to jail, doesn’t it? If I had hundreds of millions of other people’s money to play with I think even I could figure out how to stage my own death and end up on my own tropical island somewhere. Then I would truly die from an overdoes of cocaine, booze and young woman. What Lay is doing with his incognito freedom I don’t know but I bet I would be having more fun. That’s the problem with the inequity of money distribution, those crotchety old pricks end up with most of it and do what – play golf ? Meanwhile, us fun loving people who could really use that money recklessly and abuse it as it should be abused have to waste our lives working as wage slaves. The universe is obviously out of balance.

I concur with your review of The Good Shepard. I’ve never seen a more overrated movie. Three or so hours of stab your eyes out pointless boredom. I would at least hope I actually knew a bit more about the CIA, the bay of pigs or something after that tedious abuse, yet alas, nay, I do not. I’m not sure I ever day dreamed so deeply during a movie before. Somewhere in the middle I was having an intense sex session with the teenage popcorn girl from the lobby and by the end I was running my team of sled dogs across the finish line of the Iditarod. My day dreams where obviously the highlight of the film – yup, I was that fucking bored. Did anyone see this film and actually like it? If so, why?
