PopEater is reporting that CBS wants Charlie Sheen back on "Two and a Half Men", going so far as to have the network honchos personally take up peace talks between Sheen and show creator Chuck Lorre.

Get ready for a firestorm. Der Spiegel has obtained more than 4000 photos taken by a rogue group of US Soldiers now on trial for murdering civilians in Afghanistan. The group took trophy photos w/ their alleged victims and now face the death penalty for drug use, murder, sadistic behavior, the mutilation of corpses for 'trophies', etc. The newspaper is publishing only 3 of the pics at this time . . .
Someone needs to explain to me why the President has committed our military to a) intervene in what both sides agree is a civil war b) hemmed and hawed for wks on the situation while other nations took the lead c) acted only after the nearly successful rebellion was beaten back into near submission d) has provided no clear game plan or goal - even a BS one would be nice to hear
The Eiger Sanction
Have I mentioned that I love my new (Netflix streaming) Blu-ray player? I just finished Clint Eastwood's "The Eiger Sanction". I hear it was universally panned at the time of release, but screw 'em - I thought it was swell, even if I did ID the bad guy hallway through the film. How can you go wrong with a wise-ass assassin named Dr. Hemlock and an albino ex-Naxi/American spy master?
Tardy. Again.
And the Slap kids are late again, this is ridiculous. I officially have to take over the alarm now. - Lisa

Man on Wire
We finished watching 'Man on Wire' the documentary about Phillipe Petit's 1974 high wire walk between the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Wonderful, wonderful film. Petit is a marvelous interview, full of life and passion, and I enjoyed the documentary immensely.
Right Now
I'm with LuLu at a Girl Scout cookie sale at a church. outside getting some air. I love cold rainy days, but i'm worried the seams of the gutters i fixed on our house yest might not have had time to cure . . .
Other Kingdoms by Richard Matheson
I was ridiculously excited to see the legendary Richard Matheson wrote a new novel, 'Other Kingdoms'.
Sadly it had no discernable plot, the typically childish portrayal of romance that has always been the chink in his writing armorer, he pontificates about new age voodoo, & the style was right up there w/ a freshman lit paper.
Ugh. Epic fail. Epic.
