And they say that, until the plane hits the tower and they need a conservative to run in and carry their ass out.

The last 20 years, an already hyper-political award has become more a stick to beat at conservative foreign policy than actually promote peace.

Well, according to liberals, the most important (and perhaps only) way to promote peace in the world is by destroying conservatives and their policies.

So when you think about it, according to the liberals’ goofy logic, Obama is promoting peace simply by existing and getting people to vote for him.

I found it disappointing too, Bot. The first 45 minutes or so are pure brilliance, with some of the best chase scenes in any recent film.

Then it got way off-track with some bizarre and/or gross-out scenes involving mutant plants and crazy German plastic surgeons.

Then there’s the nonsensical “twist” involving Cruise’s predestined murder. How exactly does paying a guy to sit in a hotel with pictures of Cruise’s dead son set off an inevitable chain of events that causes Cruise to track him down and accidentally kill him? Contrived much?

And that ending. Sheesh. The ultimate in bleeding-heart logic. So the three psychics got to go live peacefully in a cabin somewhere. Too bad about all the people that will get murdered as the price for their comfort. Did anyone stop to ask the psychics if they might volunteer to keep saving lives instead of looking out for their own selfish wishes?

I’m not one to complain about a movie deviating wildly from the book – I mean, hell, Blade Runner has very little in common with “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” – but making the heart of the story a kidnapped, brutally killed child is something that I think PKD himself would have been deeply unhappy with.

Dang, BarryO, recycling old Bush-era “jokes,” but just switchin’ the Oval Office roles. We know you’re serious, but still, that desperate, eh?

It took me a couple forced viewings on HBO to like it. That said, it isn’t Spielberg’s best work, but I would call it the equivalent of Curt Schilling’s 2007 playoffs – the last gasp so to speak.

Personally I was disappointed with “Minority Report.”

Actually, it should read “I’m gonna spend the next 4 years and trilions of dollars making it look like we are going to someday cure cancer, but all I’m gonna actually do is talk and talk and talk and talk…”

If Barry had any class at all he’d give the award back but humility in this man child is seriously lacking. And Barry O..go check out the word hubris and its meaning…then do the history of the word…you will find Obamawan’s picture next to it.
