They know how to make winners. Four Oscars last night!

On second thought, her campaign doesn't need any more violence.

1. I hated No Country For Old Men. I thought it was pointless, rambling, ill-formed, and

fraudulently empty. I thought its points were just the trite, re-hashed nostalgia for an idealized Reaganite fantasy past that one might expect from a bitter old man. But I hate Cormac McCarthy, so maybe that's just me.

No country for old men.
