Last night my friends and I went to see Serenity last night. As a Firefly fan, I really enjoyed this movie. Joss Whedon truly knows how to manipulate the audience with alternating waves of drama, humor, tension, and action. Not to mention surprises. I can't guarantee that people who have never seen the series Firefly will love the movie, considering my own perspective, but I've heard from a number who did anyway.

So, yeah, 2 thumbs up on Serenity.

And check out my new wallpaper.

Says idiot Senator Chuck Schumer of the recent Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, "Now that he is nominated for a position where he can overturn precedent and make law, it is even more important that he answers a broad range of questions." I don't know which is scarier: that a United States Senator has forgotten that it's only the job of the legislature (not the judiciary) to make laws, or that he actually believes that the Supreme Court is supposed to make law and doesn't see anything wrong with it.

I have a lot more to say about the state of the Supreme Court and the judiciary in general, just not right now. In a pretty shitty mood today.

What effect did expiring the assault weapons ban have? Did it actually reduce crime? You mean gun-control advocates were wrong once again? Inconceivable!

(Apparently the LA Times shuffles its article off to an archive, meaning that the above link no longer works. Sorry, all.)

Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone

Actually, this is nothing really new or shocking, though most people don't realize the similar decisions in the past.
