The last week of May

Hello again. May is almost over and the summer is quickly approaching. It's so hot in Texas already that it definitely feels like summer but, no, still spring! By the time we move to Tampa, it will be even hotter. I miss the cooler weather but apparently I can't stay out. I am really excited about living near the ocean. Enough about the weather (although it does break the ice!).

Switching to current events, with winning the Texas primary, Mitt Romney has enough votes for the nomination. It's almost certain that the party will nominate him in Tampa at the party's convention this August. However, I did spot this story yesterday on Bob Cesca's blog. And to that all I have to say is damn you campaign staff of John McCain for bringing her onto the national stage. My initial reaction to his VP announcement in the summer of 2008 was "who?".  

That's right, the Republican National Convention is in Tampa this year. It was in St. Paul in 2008. Why do I get the coincidence of living in the same city as the RNC? Anyone want to calculate the probability?

The campaign season is in full swing and we are still 5 months out from the general election. The madness has just begun. And it really is madness. The GOP has completely gone off the deep end. Lastly, let's not forget the creation of super PACs following the Citizens United decision. Stay tuned. 

Changing topics again, I have a brief movie review of Men in Black III. Blake and I saw it over the weekend. If you are a fan of the franchise, I highly suggest seeing it. The third movie was better than the second. I like the first one the best, but the latest installment is a very close second. The villain was especially sinister and Josh Brolin was brilliant as young Agent K. There were moments of humor but we also saw a more intimate picture of K and his relationship with J.

Alright that's all I have for today.

Fembot, out!
