Note to self: Never run your normal route the morning of a Michigan home game EVER AGAIN.
My route takes me right past the stadium which means I had to navigate what felt like a good portion of the 110,000 game attendees. It was a decent run, though. I managed a 10:15 pace despite some moments of slow going as I tried not to get trampled.
Have some morning links:
Friedman: Palin's kind of patriotism By Thomas L. Friedman
Zellweger’s unattractiveness makes way for manly love. The Yale Daily News offers the best review of Appaloosa I've read yet. (Best in terms of "accurate" not "glowing.")
Britney's new video for “Womanizer.” So, the truth is that I first heard "Womanizer" last weekend on my drive home from Chicago and thought the song sucked. I actually still think it sucks but more in "the song sucks and I'm going to listen to it over and over again" sort of way. The video is icing on the cake.
The Office lampoons BSG. I imagine, if I watched the show, I'd appreciate Dwight.
I'm off to see "Burn After Reading." With winter looming, I feel like I should spend the day outside but the movies it is. I'm definitely going to make the most of these last few days when I can drive around with my top down, though.

- I only wish she had been asked: "Governor Palin, if paying taxes is not considered patriotic in your neighborhood, who is going to pay for the body armor that will protect your son in Iraq? Who is going to pay for the bailout you endorsed? If it isn't from tax revenues, there are only two ways to pay for those big projects - printing more money or borrowing more money. Do you think borrowing money from China is more patriotic than raising it in taxes from Americans?" That is not putting America first. That is selling America first.
- The true love story of Appaloosa is between Cole and Hitch. Their relationship has all the chemistry that the romance with Zellweger’s character so evidently lacks. Their easy public rapport is only half the story; behind the classic tough-guy banter hides rare tenderness and affection, revealed as Mortensen gently supplies the multisyllabic word that the less educated Harris struggles to come up with, or in Mortensen’s lingering embrace after pulling Harris out of a brawl.
